For the three plus years I’ve been writing in this little space of the World Wide Web, it amazes me that I’m just now starting a series about things I adore. Of course I’ve talked about many things I adore in past posts, but never have I had a series dedicated to my current adorations for the week, month, etc.
So here it is, the first installment of ‘Currently Adored’ on Girl Wonder Life. And what better way to kick it off than with a few of my current go-tos in the beauty department.
My mom got me hooked on Jo Malone some years ago when she would get extra testers of scents and give me the ones she didn’t care for. I’ve always been a Chance by Chanel and Bobbi Brown Beach gal, but lately I am all about spritzing a few pumps of Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom & Honey cologne on me before walking out the door in the morning. Its nodes are light and fresh and last all day without being overpowering.
Again thanks to my mom (aren’t mom hand-me-downs the best?!), I’m hooked on this La Mer face wash. Definitely not the cheapest, but the quality is above all else. My mom swears by La Mer’s skin care products (especially La Mer face creams, as do many other women in the world), and while I don’t yet need to be dropping that sort of cash on face cream, I do willingly spend a little more on face cleansers and products so I can combat my dry/oily/blackhead prone attributes of my skin.
I’ve always loved MAC blushes, but this shade is simply perfect for that year around naturally rosy cheek look. It’s part of my everyday makeup routine and I highly recommend it!
Finally, a new name to my makeup bag – Kevyn Aucoin roll on powder eyeshadows were introduced to me a couple of months ago at a Houston-area makeup shop called Facade. I was getting my makeup done and these were used on my eyes for some color. So fun and so easy to use; simply roll a swipe of it on your hand and use an eyebrow brush to swipe it across the lid. I use them alone as well as mix the two for a more dramatic look.
What are your go-to beauty products as of late? Hope you have a great weekend!

I have never used roll on shadows but I am a huge fan of loose pigments and it sounds like these would be about the same. They are beautiful shades!

I have a sample of La Mer cream that I’ve been using and I’m hooked. The scent is amazing and it makes my skin feel buttery soft. I’d love to try the cleanser too! I have a Clarisonic, could it be used with that?
XO, Jaime
