EMPTIES March 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

I love primers; no matter the season. I picked up this Milani Chill Out primer awhile ago, but just got around to using it up. This primer is thick like a silicone prime, but it’s silicon-free. Although it’s not a sticky, it did help keep my makeup in tact for most of the day. Also, helped blur out pore and other skin imperfections. This a really good drugstore primer and will absolutely buy it again.

The Glossier You scent is one of my faves, because it just smells so good! The first time I smelled was spraying the tester in Sephora while waiting for my online order. It didn’t initially blow me away. So, I didn’t pick it up. However, I sprayed some of it on the wrist of my sweatshirt and kept wondering what smelled so good. After about an hour, I realized it was the Glossier perfume. I’ve always received compliments when I would have it on. It’s a warm clean scent or iris and pink pepper.

My only gripe is that it doesn’t last long, which everyone says. However, they offer it in a solid version, which I hear helps it last a little longer when worn with spray version. I’ll pick them both up next, because I love this scent!

I know this is going to sound weird, but I was addicted to the way Care.e.on hand sanitizer smelled. This sanitizer comes in their Essentials Travel set, but oh how I wish it was available for individual sell.

Another product that I bought a long time ago, but just got around to using up. A clear sign that say that I’ve had this for so long is that they even sell this in pear anymore. I probably picked the pear because it reminded of the pear body lotion that I used to be addicted to in my teens. Nostalgia gets me every time!

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

It’s April and despite a few rainy days here and there, April is usually lovely month to enjoy. The weather is nice and makes you just want to be out in the sun and catch a good breeze here and there. It’s almost time hanging out on the patio after work and going to local farmer markets on the weekend. I can’t wait to enjoy this season ; rain or shine!

I’m so ready for this month and all the things that come with it. The items in this month’s Lust-Have List might give an insight into any plans. However, it does show you how I want to look. So, take a look at the things I’m currently wanting in this month’s Lust-Have List.

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024

  • Herbivore Nova Vitamin C serum – I recently noticed that my skin has been looking dull then remembered I never replaced my vitamin C serum. However, I want to try this new one from Herbivore, because I already use the eye cream from this line.
  • Chunky Gold Drop Earrings – I’ve been wanting to get into the large post earrings and this pair off Amazon would make gentle entrance into this style of earrings.
  • Short Sleeve Swing Tunic Mini Dress – It’s spring which means I’ve started to look for cute, easy dresses that I can try on for work or running errands. Love the look and of this dress from Anthropologie.
  • Mini Bucket Bag – If you know me, you know I love mini purses. Currently, I’ve been obsessing over the look of mini buckets, especially this one from Madewell.
  • Wide Leg Dad Pants – If I can’t spend everyday in a cute dress, then these wide leg dad pants will work just as well. The look so chic dressed up or down.

LUST-HAVE LIST: March 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

For February to have an extra day this year, it still shorter than usual. So much, this month’s Lust-Have List crept up on me. Better late than never or in the middle of the month. Although it’s not technically spring until March 19th, the weather has been acting like it’s already here. Therefore, this month’s Lust-Have List is mostly leaning towards Spring being here already.

So, keep reading to see what I’m eyeing for this month and most of Spring. Is that a leather jacket I want in March?! Well, keep reading to find out. 😉

LUST-HAVE LIST: March 2024

  • Coated Bomber Jacket – Weird that I would want a new  coat in March, but we usually get one more big chill in March. This faux would pair to layer with a denim skirt or leggings and oversized t-shirt.
  • Paula’s Choice Mandelic Acid Liquid Exfoliant – I love PC AHA/BHA liquid exfoliant, which makes me want to try this one from them. It’s supposed to be more gentle, but with more benefits. It even touts that it can reverse damage skin barrier. Consider me intrigued.
  • Midi Denim Skirt – I saw this skirt in Target a couple of weeks ago and immediately knew I want it for my spring wardrobe. Perfect for a casual work day or weekend friend dates.
  • New Balance 2002R – A new New Balance store recently opened up near me and I need to run in to see if they have this pair. I’ve been wanting a pair of New Balance and I think this is the pair I want. Plus I need a new pair of all white sneakers.
  • Denim Tabby Shoulder Bag – One of my fav fashion influencers shared this bag on her IG stories and it’s been living rent free in my mind and heart since then. I’m obsessed!
