Summer-Fall Transitional Fragrances ft. Jo Malone

Some of my favorite Jo Malone fragrances that I've been loving this transitional season from summer-fall.

English Pear & Freesia ($125; shop.nordstrom.com) - A gorgeous fruity floral with notes of Pear, White Freesia, Patchouli, Rose, Melon, Rhubarb, Musk and Amber. I love the opening that is so fresh, not heady, yet soft and crisp. I'd say this is a great scent for the slightly cool, but not so warm days following summer. The dry down is much softer and brings out the Amber, Patchouli and Musk, but it is very fresh and floral for the most part.

English Pear & Sweet Pea ($125; shop.nordstrom.com) - Another one of my favorite florals, quite similar but a tad sweeter than English Pear & Freesia. The notes include Pear, Sweet Pea and White Musk to name a few. The Sweet Pea is more prominent than any other note and it is a non-cloying, yet sweet fragrance that isn't too strong. It is a pleasant, comforting fragrance that is perfect for everyday without being too ovewhelmingly sweet. Easy to wear, feminie and work-safe.

Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense ($160; shop.nordstrom.com), as the name suggests, is a strong, rich amber vanilla concoction with hints of citrus. The notes include Bitter Orange, Labdanum, Amber, Vanilla and Musk. The opening is strong, but dries down quickly without getting too overpowering. It is mostly citrus, amber and vanilla in an aromatic-musky base as it dries down. I love this one for Autumn when the weather is cooler and I tend to gravitate towards richer fragrances more.

Kaja Beauty Beauty Bento Stacked Eyeshadow Trio, Beauty Bento Stacked Eyeshadow Trio | New From Kaja Beauty

Some recent beauty finds from Kaja Beauty that I've been reaching out to a lot lately.

The DoubleKiss Bento Blur + Glow Cheek & Lip Duos ($28; ulta.com) just launched exclusivley at Ulta and come with the cutest silicone sleeve bag charm. The colors are wearable and the formula is beautiful and blendable effortlessly. Fig Caramel is a soft brown pink that flatters most skintones and Cherry Gummy is a slightly cool toned olive skin friendly pink. The powder blush has a really nice, soft blur finish that looks ultra natural and soft, while the creamy gloss is perfect to match the blush as a soft sheen lip color. I love the packaging and the formula of these and love how Kaja is being so innovative and not just following trends.

The Beauty Bento Stacked Eyeshadow Trio ($28; target.com) has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. I love the cool and warm toned trios and how easy they are to use with fingers or a brush. They also come in matte and shimmer finishes and even without a primer, these are super easy to blend and layer. Chocolate Dahlia is a perfectly wearble shimmer/matte trio in cool browns and taupes while Creme Brulee is a rosy brown shimmer trio. The Bentos are now available at Target as well as part of the Beauty Studio and the DoubleKiss Bento Blurs are an Ulta exclusive. Overall, I highly recommend both these and Kaja's formulations in general.

New Lip Product Finds I'm Currently Loving!

Some fabulous new lip product finds I've been loving right now!

Balm Amour Tinted Lip Treatment ($26; sephora.com) is a sheer, ultra hydrating lip balm-gloss from Violttte _Fr. Its a lovely texture that glides on effortlessly and has a nice, subtle scent. I love the ceramic applicator that feels cooling and also helps with even product application. The color payoff is great and the formula helps fill in lip lines without feeling heavy or sticky. I love this one and have one in my purse always. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a clean, everyday, effortless lip treatment.

Ogee Sculpted Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil Balm ($29; sephora.com) is a gorgeous oil infused balm with a slick texture made with clean ingredients. I love the easy to use, swipe and go crayon and the glossiness too. The shape also helps define lips like a liner. Great product for an effortless and quick look with a sheer wash of color and moisture.

Glossier's Balm Dotcom Lip Balm I ❤ NY Edition ($16; sephora.com) - amazing, yummy scent and flavour with the classic balm dot com formula. This one is going to be staple for winter and the limited edition scent and packaging is just fabulous. Even doubles up as a cuticle treatment in a pinch.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Kiss Theory Hydrating Glossy Lip Balm ($18; sephora.com) - pigmented lip balm that is almost as color packed as a lipstick in a slim tube that is easy to use. The formula is hydrating and very comfortable to wear. The colors are gorgeous too!

TirTir Sun Bouncy Glow Lip Balm SPF30 ($20; ulta.com) - is a thicker, tinted mineral sunscreen lip balm with a hydrating formula. The pigmentation is great and there's no after taste that comes with most lip balms with sunscreens. There's also a slight plumping effect without the tingle or irritation which is great.

TirTir Glow Pop Tinted Lip Oil ($18; ulta.com) is a sheer, hydrating lip oil that leaves a nice stain behind. The texture is rather thin for a lip oil and very non sticky. I love the color selection which is very wearable and the formula is very comfortable on dry lips.
