LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy September! If you know me, then you already know that September is my favorite month of the year. The main reason is that it’s my birthday month and the kick off of my favorite season; Fall. It’s also the beginning of fall festivals and cooler weather. So, the whole month is pretty much a vibe!

Even though the whole month has a lot going on, the main star for me is still my birthday. Therefore, every September edition of my Lust-Have List is pretty much my birthday wishlist. Usually, I get 1 or 2 things off the list, but I’m challenging myself to get at least 3 of things. No need to wonder, because I’m going to share which ones I’m aiming to grab this month. So, check out the things I’m wanting and aiming to get from this month’s Lust-Have List.

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2023

  • Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo – I’ve been using the 5-minute mask acidic bonding mask from Redken for about a month and it’s so good! So much so, that I feel like I need to get the shampoo to see if they are going to be my new hair cleaning duo. This is one of the the items I’m definitely getting this month.
  • Coach Lana 23 Colorblock Purse – Another item I’m aiming to get is this super fab bag from Coach. The shape is so good and it’s my favorite color; greem. I thought a new Apple was going to be my big gift to me, but not anymore. Honestly, I think I need this bag like air!
  • Arizona Big Buckle Shearling Lined Sandals – I think 21 year old me wouldn’t get fur-lined sandals, but 41 year old me thinks will feel amazing!
  • Oversized Sweatshirt Dress – I’m going through a bit of a weightloss phase thanks to casual daily weight training. So, clothes are fitting looser and I’m not sure if I’m ready to try smaller sizes at moment. So, oversized tops and dresses like this sweatshirt dress are going to be my fall uniform. Looks super cozy, too!
  • Faux Tree Trunk – I’ve been obsessed with this tree trunk potter for a couple of weeks. The uniqueness speaks to me!
  • Burberry Goddess Perfume – I’ve never wanted to smell a perfume as much as I want to smell this one. I  just know once I smell it, I’m going to want to immediately buy it, which is why it’s the final thing off this month’s list that I’m planning to actually buy.

Biore’ UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen Review

Biore’ UV  Aqua Rich Sunscreen Review

Biore' UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen | STAINED COUTURE

If you have been around here for a minute, then you should know that I’m an SPF girl. I’m definitely not one of those people that forget to wear sunscreen, because it’s the star of my morning skincare routine. Even if I would forget to apply some before leaving my apartment, I wouldn’t be without some for long. I keep a tube of sunscreen in my car, purse, and even on my desk at work. However, I don’t think I wiill ever have enough and I’m always down to try a new one.

I recently received Biore’ UV Suncreen and have been trying it for about a month now. So, I think it’s time to give my review of these Biore’ sunscreens. Keep reading for my thoughts.

LINK-END ROUND-UP: August 11, 2023

LINK-END ROUND-UP: August 11, 2023

LINK-END ROUND-UP: August 11, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday, folks! I know I know most people always look forward to Friday – me, included. However, I’m extra excited because today is my last Fridy before my vacation. So, I’m probably staying late to work to make sure I tie up all my loose ends. Doing this will help prevent anxiety and allow me to enjoy my long overdue vacation.

I don’t leave until Wednesday, which gives me time to relax before the vacation. Honestly, I tell everyone you need to take a couple days off before vacation and before going back to work. Use the pre-trip days to pack, beauty maintenence appointment, and clean before leaving. Coming back to a clean home always hits. The only maintenence appointment I have is a nail appointment on Tuesday.I rescheduled my hair appointment to the Saturday after I get back. I didn’t want pool and ocean water messing up my color touch-up.

This weekend, I plan to deep clean my apartment and finalize what I’m bringing. Since this is going to be a short beach vacation – the less stuff the better. While I’m trying to get my life and home together this weekend, check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up. I’m still trying to figure out if I want to do a funny away message or not.

Amazon Fall Wishlist 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Listen, was I one of the people annoyed that people acted like Fall began on August 1st? Absolutely. However, am I also a fan of “If you can’t beat them; join them”? Absolutely, as well.

I’m so ready to get in the festive spirit of Fall! It also helps that the weather has been very gloomy and chill. All of this has caused me to start feeling the vibe and filling up my Amazon cart with things I want for fall.

Check out the items that are currently in my Amazon cart in preparation for Fall 2023.

Amazon Fall Wishlist 2023

  • Sup Witches Door Mat – The perfect way to welcome fall is with a seasonal mat. However, I’m a kill 2 birds with one stone type of girl and this halloween one will get me to November.
  • Wood Therapy Massage Tools – My fav Tracee Ellis Ross talked about using wood therapy to help tone her body and lymphatic drainage. I immediately added this kit of wood massage to my cart.
  • Cauldron Wax Burner – Last  year, I started getting to cauldron for Halloween. So, this wax burner in the shape of a cauldron needs to burning my fall wax melts.
  • Plus Size Denim Trouser Pants – I mentioned thatI wanted a pair of denim trouser pants for my Spring 2023 uniform, but this pair looks more tailored and perfect for Fall.
  • Boar Hair Body Brush Set – I’ve been wanting to step up my self care by adding body brushing. I’ve done it in the past and it was so good, but I needed more brush size and lenght options. So, this set is perfect.
  • Heeled Chunky Loafers – It’s Fall – of course, there’s loafer in the mix! Plus, these would look cute with a pencil or a-line skirt.
