I have been shopping at Athleta for at least 7 years and love their product. At this point, half of my wardrobe is Athleta and half is Anthropologie. I love athleta’s Salutation Stash Legging. I’m 5-feet and so I get the 7/8s length and they are perfect in me full length. I also live in the coaster luxe sweatshirts.
I use the cream bronzing stick daily. It’s lasted me for ages. I keep twisting it up thinking I must be close to the end but I never am. A little product goes a long way. It works great on a brush or applied with fingers. I will absolutely repurchase. I tried the hydro grip primer from a Sephora sample and didn’t like it. It pilled on my skin. But I hear others love it.
I use the lip sleeping mask every night. Cannot go a night without it. I also use the lip glowy balm to take on the go. It is the perfect lip gloss. Not too sticky, and my long hair never gets caught in it, but it’s also not slipping all over my face. I love it!!! I’ve also used the water cream which is super light and feels great on the skin. Would recommend!!
I use the soft pinch blush and love it!!! Easy to apply with a brush or fingers. It’s all I’ve tried from the brand, but would recommend. A little goes a LONG way.
I use the cream shadow pot every day! It’s my absolute go to. Doesn’t crease, even on my oily lids! I use the purple color, which is subtly but looks amazing with my green eyes. I get compliments all the time.
I have a pair of Warby Parker eye glasses (prescription) as well as regular sunglasses I wear with my contacts. Their styles are cute and up to date, and they are very cost effective. The employees are extremely friendly (in the ATL & NY locations, anyway!) and I’ve been happy with my purchases. I also think the case and the cleansing cloth they provide with purchases are nice. My mom and grandma (she’s a very hip grandma) wear WP glasses and sunglasses and have been super happy. They’ve each bought several styles to wear. I also had an EXCELLENT customer experience when I purchased my sunglasses. When I received my sunglasses in the mail, the lenses were so dark, I couldn’t see out of them. I called customer service to inquire if they had any other color lenses and see what my options were. The customer service rep was SO helpful. This was a couple of years ago and I still tell people about this experience. I even wrote an email to her manager that was full of praise. I’ve never done that before! She was able to work out a great solution for me that met all of my needs. Within about a week, I got my new glasses in the mail and they are absolutely perfect. Bravo, Warby Parker! All around, a great customer experience. I actually need to update my glasses prescription and am thinking of buying new frames all together from WP!
My first foray into Glossier was similar to most—with boy brow. I have very dark brown hair and purchased the dark shade. It was far too dark on me, which I could work with, if so much product didn’t come out on the brush. I think they may want to rethink the packaging so less product comes out each time. I used a handful of times and stopped using. However, I use two Glossier products on a daily basis and love them. The first is the priming face moisturizer. It works really well under makeup—though I will say, I don’t think it makes my foundation last longer. But it looks and feels great. It doesn’t break me out!! Excellent for sensitive skin. The other daily product is the cloud paint. I use the lightest shade in Puff. It works nicely on my cheeks and doesn’t pick up my liquid foundation or cream bronzer than I use underneath. Would recommend!
I bought the shampoo and conditioner after a trusted former vogue beauty editor turned influencer recommended it. I took the hair quiz, which I admit, is innovative, and ordered my formulas. I received them and used them for about a week (I wash my hair daily). The shampoo left a really weird film on my hair, and the conditioner actually dried out my ends. I couldn’t bare to keep using it. I ended up using both of the products as shaving balm when my shaving cream ran out. Yikes.
I have bought two Baggu tote bags and have been super happy with them. I particularly like the length of the shoulder strap. It fits comfortable under my arm. They are sightly difficult to get back in their little bags, but I make it work. Good for the beach or pool, too! Very lightweight.
I bought a 42 pack of the whitening strips after multiple influencers recommended them. I used the first set and was surprised by several parts of the experience. Here are a few of my observations. The strips don’t slip around on your teeth during wear. I liked that you only have to wear them for 30 minutes. Removing the strips with my fingers proved difficult. I ended up using a paper towel with some grit to slide them off. The strips left an extremely thick Vaseline-line gel on my teeth afterward, and it’s one of those things that you can’t spit out. I have had to brush my teeth several times after use with an electric toothbrush to ensure the gel is gone. The gel does not have any taste, and I know it’s made of all natural substances, which is good, I guess. I was shocked by how white my teeth were after the first use. Shocked. So much so that I called my mom and told her to buy them. She did. What I didn’t realize, was that that initial white fades after about 30 minutes and your teeth go back to normal. I followed all of the directions on the box, and did 1 week of the strips daily. My teeth felt whiter. However, after going about 4 days without using them, my teeth looked dull again (back to square one) and I had to start from scratch. So, all that being said, I was pretty disappointed with this product. My mom feels the same. I still have a bunch of strips left and I just purchased the old crest white strips again, even though I get major sensitivity with them. If you’re someone who absolutely cannot tolerate the crest white strips, you could try these, but I’d recommend getting them on sale in case you don’t like them.
