The Freckled Life

Features a freckled Brooklynite's refined downtown style, beauty, and home décor for real life | NYC Style Blogger

Currently Loving: July 2021

ilia-lip-conditioner

1. Ilia lip conditioner

This is best lip balm I’ve tried in a long time. I keep one in my car, at my desk, and I’m about to buy one more for my purse because it’s just that good I feel the need to ignore all my other balms.

Ilia has been a frontrunner for one of my favorite beauty brands of all time, and it’s CLEAN! Yay! Shop the balm below, they also just came out with a tinted version of it that I’m dying to try:

 


waffle-summer-2020-the-freckled-life

2. waffle anything

I don’t have much to say about this obsession but I’m just really loving the texture and softness of a waffle knit. And it’s kinda sporty which is fun too. Preppy/sporty vibes are it right now, and surprisingly I’m getting most of my fix from Abercrombie. They have really been impressing me with super soft and well-fitting everyday basics and loungewear.  Shop some of my fave waffle knits below:


olive-and-june-lava-bright-red-nail-polish-nails

3. olive & june lava nail polish

Shop my checkered ring here.

This is the PERFECT spring/summer bright red. Looks even better on toes too if you aren’t into a bold, red look for your manicure. I am literally not painting either my toes or nails another color until it’s officially falltime – no, seriously. It’s that good.

P.S. If you haven’t heard my spiel yet about how good Olive & June is and how long my nails last, I won’t get into the details but I’ll just say: I’ve tried every high-end nail polish and top coat on the market, and their’s is the best formula hands-down. It’s deff worth picking up the top coat if you grab a polish from them, it’s the main gamechanger for sure.

necessaire-body-serum-review

4. Necessaire body serum

I swear this stuff is healing my sunburns faster than my usual routine that I’ve been using… well my whole life, ha! (which is a healthy dose of pure aloe vera gel + a fragrance-free lotion at least twice a day) Now I add this into that routine and I SWEAR they sunburns heal faster! It’s like a huge booster for the lotion. I usually mix it with my favorite lotion (Necessaire’s fragrance-free, ofc), but sometimes I’ll just apply the serum by itself to areas in dire need, and the consistency is like a gel so very cooling and dries extremely fast! Love it, highly recommend.

spindrift-limeade-lemonade

5. Spindrift lemon limeade

My FAVE lately as an evening treat with dinner. Spindrift recently came out with their Lemonade line and this is definitely the best one! I get mine at Target 😋
