LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2024

Happy August! August is one of those months that I’ve learned to look forward to each year. Aside from it marking the beginning of birthdays almost every other week, it’s also pre-fall! There’s just something about this time of year when you try to squeeze every ounce out of summer. Personally, I’ve been thinking about trying to confirm a last minute mini road trip or late summer beach vacation at the end of this month. All of the possibilities are endless, but I still am getting a little excited for fall.

As for this month, I’m planning to soak up as much summer as I can while preparing for fall. Well, best friend has already planned to break out her fall decor after her birthday (August 9) and she’s excited. Hopefully, I can hold out looking for new fall decor until the end of August. As for now, this month’s  Lust-Have List will show that I’m somewhere in the middle of Summer and Fall.

LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2024

• Rare Beauty Tinted Pressed Powder – I’m very much in my face powders, but I still need a good pressed powder. I’ve been loving the reviews of this powder from Rare Beauty and think will be a perfect finishing powder, too.
• Fifth & Ninth Brynn Cat-Eye Sunglasses – There’s no way you can look at this pair of sunglasses and not gasp a little. Well, I did which made me feel like I need them ASAP and they aren’t as expensive as they look.
• Shiseido Eyelash Curler – This eyelash curler is iconic and a cult favorite! I need a new one and why not go for the best? *shrug*
• Mid-Rise Trouser Shorts – After years of trying to avoid showing my legs, I’ve worn more shorts this summer than I’ve worn in the past 30+ years. I’m not over aggerating. So, I want to keep it going in the fall with these trouser shorts. However, I envision wearing them with opaque tights, when the weather gets cooler.
• Face Lifting Chin Strap -I’ve been obsessed with those women on TikTok that do morning peels of all their sleep contraptions including these chin straps. Apparently, these straps help lift your face while you sleep. However, I also hear that they also help if you grind your teeth and I can’t wait to find out.
