Stuff I Bought And Loved, Vol. 1

January 19th, 2024 by Karen 4 Comments

1. J. Crew Factory Long-Sleeve Crewneck Girlfriend Tee, $9.95

I bought two of these awesome long-sleeve tees in neutral colors (Black and Oatmeal), and I deeply regret not buying more! Thick material, not too tight and doesn’t wrinkle easily. Right meow they’re $9.95, and there are a still a few left, so if you see your size, don’t hesitate. SO GOOD!

2. e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, $11

I picked up my upteenth jar of this makeup removing balm at Target the other day. It’s just as good, if not better, than the higher-end version by Clinique. Takes off everything (including waterproof makeup) and doesn’t sting my eyes. One jar is $11 and lasts for months.

3. Target Threshold Printed Hand Towels, 2pk, $10

I really like these hand towels. They’re thick, the print stays bright and holds after multiple washings, and the size is just right — not too big, not too small. I bought the all-over floral version, but the hearts are super cute too.

4. Vanilla Oikos PRO High Protein Greek Yogurt, $6

I swear, getting enough protein in each meal has become my part-time job, ha ha ha! This greek yogurt tastes delicious, packs 23g of protein per serving and has 0g of added sugar. I eat it on its own and blended into smoothies. I get the 32-oz container for about $6 at Target.

5. GAP Breathe High Rise Bikinis (3-Pack), $19 (on sale)

GIRL. I can’t even begin to tell you how stressful the hunt for decent, comfortable underwear has been. I just found the Breathe High Rise ones from GAP, and I love, love, LOVE them.

Sure, they’re very granny-panty style, but whatever. The material is super soft and the waistband doesn’t cut into my skin, and if you can get them on sale, they’re very affordable.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. TGIF!

    I’ve been wearing the cotton Jockey for Her French Cut panties for many years now. It’s almost the only thing I’m brand-loyal to. These are the ones with the simple elastic waistband, not the cotton-covered Elance ones (those are cheaper, but not as comfortable, and the cotton wears out over the elastic it encases).
