In this month’s edition of Lovin’ Lately, I’m excited to share some of my favorite products, even though we’re a bit behind schedule. Among them is an incredible hydrating face mask that has truly made an impression on me.
First up is Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser, which I previously mentioned in this post. It remains one of my go-to cleansers, especially in my double-cleanse routine alongside the Akwi Cleanser*. I’d love a larger bottle since I can’t get enough of its unique cream-milky texture that doesn’t strip my skin. It’s gentle, fragrance-free, and perfect for daily use. Don’t forget, you can grab 20% off your first Glossier purchase using this link.
Another product that I can’t recommend highly enough is the Anarose Hydrating Rose Toner*. It’s perfect for those with dry or sensitive skin and serves as an excellent prep step for serums and moisturizers. Additionally, you can’t go wrong with Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, a longtime favorite that works wonders for dry or tired under-eye skin.
Recently, I’ve steered clear of resurfacing products due to my sensitive skin, but I decided to give the Daily Superfoliant* from Dermalogica a try. I’m thrilled to report it didn’t irritate my skin at all, leaving it sensation soft and smooth. This anti-pollution powder exfoliant transforms into a creamy paste when mixed with water and is gently massaged into the skin before rinsing. I’ve been using it once or twice a week, and it’s made a noticeable difference.
One of my standout discoveries this month has been the Cocoa Moisture Mask* by Perricone MD. This luxurious mask is incredibly hydrating, has the delightful aroma of cocoa, and leaves my skin feeling nourished and soft. The fun part? It features little microcapsules that burst, changing the mask’s color from white to cocoa brown, resulting in a radiant glow after each application. To enhance my masking routine, I also invested in a cute Etude House hair band. With my short hair, I needed a practical and stylish way to keep it out of my face during skincare rituals.
On Instagram, I’ve been sharing my fondness for Phyto haircare products*. My top choice is the Phytolisse Ultra-glossing finishing serum*, which proves to be exceptional for addressing dry, frizzy hair, and a tiny amount goes a long way.
I’m also impressed with the Dr. Dana Nail Renewal System*. Typically, nail care isn’t something that astounds me, yet this three-step system featuring a Glycolic Prep Pen, a Perfect Grip Priming Wand, and a Deep Hydrating Pen has impressed me. The convenience of the brush-on pens makes nail prep a breeze; it takes me only five minutes to apply both products to my nails and cuticles.
The Glycolic Prep Pen does an incredible job of transforming your nails in minutes. The image showcases the before and after results using the Glycolic Prep Pen followed by the Deep Hydrating Pen—no buffing or polish applied.
For those who are familiar with Harry’s, I recently received one of their shaving kits. I gave it to my husband, who has sensitive skin and meticulous preferences when it comes to shaving products. He ended up loving it so much that I purchased one for myself. I’ve always favored men’s razors for their superior performance, providing a close and smooth shave. I particularly appreciated the quality of Harry’s razors and their reasonable pricing. For just $15, you receive a razor, three refills, and either a foaming gel or shaving cream. I selected the Winston set for myself, which cost $25.
I’d also like to highlight two mineral blushes from Claré Blanc Minerals: Powder Pink and Peach Pop. Although I’m not typically a fan of blush, these two shades have won me over. They impart a natural-looking flush and create a lovely, healthy glow on the skin.

Lastly, I want to spotlight Audible. Despite my intentions to read more books, I often find myself lacking the time. That’s why I’ve turned to audiobooks. My all-time favorites are the Harry Potter series, of course. Lately, I’ve also revisited Big Little Lies, which I adored and later found out had been made into a TV series. I enjoyed Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies, so I decided to also explore The Husband’s Secret. While it was good, I felt it was a bit anticlimactic. I liked The Sister by Louise Jensen, but I couldn’t get through Truly Madly Guilty, also by Moriarty. If you happen to have recommendations for thrillers or psychological thrillers, I’d love to hear them! I enjoy a compelling twist.
