I hope that last few days of life have been wonderful for you! The warm weather and holiday weekend (to say nothing of being on the other side of tax season) has lifted my spirits and I am looking forward to some family time before heading into a busy week of teaching and travel. Happy Passover and Blessed Easter to all those who celebrate. Consequently, I am excited to share a weekend FOTD with a special glimpse into some new style elements I’ve picked up this month…sundrenched and relaxed, it’s a springtime joyance.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the images in action as well as the Bottom Line…

// SKIN + BASE //
- *Le Metier de Beaute Longevity Cream: My new skin care obsession, this opulent cream smoothes and repairs with every application while imparting a delicate light-reflecting glow. It’s utterly divine…more details forthcoming!
- *Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation #6 (reviewed HERE): A classic on heavy rotation in my foundation routine, it offers excellent coverage and lasting power and #6 is a spot on match for my light olive NC 25 skin.
- *Sisley-Paris Phyto Cernes Eclat (reviewed HERE): Next level color correction in a diminutive tube, this concealer is truly superb; the peachy tone banishes dark circles with nary a crease in sight.
- Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 (reviewed HERE): Words cannot adequately describe the wondrous impact this fragrance has on my life; the scent is transcendently beautiful and wholly unique and, in addition to Byredo Mojave Ghost, I would consider it one of my true signature scents. To try it is to love it.
- Miracle Body Transformer in Glow (reviewed HERE): Every time I wear this on my arms and legs, someone asks me what type of lotion I am using; this brightening and blurring formula imparts a subtle warm glow that makes limbs look their best, especially in the warmer months ahead. I just ordered a back up for both my mom and myself…we adore it that much.

- *Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light (reviewed HERE): I used this favorite (it’s one of the only bronzers I’ve completely finished) to add warmth and dimension to my complexion in the images that follow. It’s radiant and completely forgiving, especially when applied in haste!
- *Gucci Blush in Soft Peach (also available at Gucci and reviewed HERE): Applied with my *Surratt Beauty Artistique Cheek Brush (also available at Net-A-Porter) on the apples of my cheeks, this matte peachy pink blush brightens the face without overpowering…finely milled and long lasting, it’s sublime.
- *Tom Ford Highlighting Duo in Reflects Gilt (reviewed HERE): Applied with my *Surratt Beauty Artistique Highlighting Brush (also available at Net-A-Porter) I have such an affinity for this illuminating pair; the powders have immense pigmentation and look incredible along the perimeters the face and down the bridge of the nose. If you get just one product from the Soleil Collection 2017, I highly suggest this gem.
- *Milk Makeup Holographic Stick in Mars: Brand new and utterly stunning, this cream stick highlighter imparts a dreamy glow on my upper cheek bones…I would classify this shade as a pearly peachy pink; it’s sheer enough to be applied liberally and pigmented enough to show up on a spectrum of skin tones. Springtime in a tube, indeed!

// EYES //
- *Surratt Beauty Prismatique Eyes in Neutral Eyes (also available at Net-A-Porter and reviewed HERE): Applied with the *Laura Mercier Clay Smudge Brush, this rich brown and peachy rose gold duo never disappoints…the heavy use illustrated in the picture above further supports my sentiments!
- Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel in Chestnut (reviewed HERE): I went with a slightly darker hue for my brows as my skin is picking up some depth from the sunny weather.
- *Gucci Impact Smoky Eye Pencil in Black (reviewed HERE): On my waterline, this is my preferred black liner…smooth and non-budging.
- Sisley-Paris So Intense Mascara (reviewed HERE): Two coats for full and fluttery lashes…still in love with this formula.

| Lip Mix. |
// LIPS // Peachy Pink Perfection.
- Dior Couture Lipstick #475 Rose Caprice (reviewed HERE): This cool and pearly lilac pink has intense color payoff and a radiant glow.
- Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Rouge #11 Lingerie (reviewed HERE): A lifetime favorite, I applied just a touch to deliver a peachy element to the lip mix.
- *Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme in Riche (reviewed HERE): This creamy beige adds a delightful touch of opacity and dimension.

// STYLE NOTES //
- Vince Velvet Tank Dress (also available at Vince and Bergdorf Goodman): Majorly on sale and completely timeless, this velvet dress is the perfect cut and length; it’s lovely for spring and can also be topped with a sweater for cool evenings. I find that this runs true to size…I purchased a small and it’s still roomy enough for a big dinner ; )
- Nike Air Max LD-Zero (also available at Nike): Brand new and entirely fierce, these redesigned Air Max tennies have sleek lines and the most cushiony feel ever; they need absolutely no breaking in and I will be styling the up (like with the dress below) and down (with leggings for travel next week) like crazy.
- New Seth Wegter Bag: My brother just made this delectable bag and I had to share a glimpse in this post…I am sure it will be making an appearance on his website soon!

Good things ahead, including my recommendations for the Sephora VIB Sale (starting 4/18 for VIB Rouge members!), a skincare video, an updated beauty gadgets feature and a host of new product procurements; I am also headed into a bit of travel so lots of sharing whilst on location ; )
