Well, I never thought I’d see the day but Tom Ford Boys & Girls Lip Sets are 20% off at Nordstrom.com with free shipping.
Is it raining fire outside?
I can finally say it, “I’m shook!”
As you may know Lathers & Lights is now closed for business. I’ve been purchasing perfume, bath, and body goodies from them for 10+ years and I’m really, really sad to see them close their doors. They had a massive assortment of scents and I loved that each season they would come out with new ones. Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, I always looked forward to each Holiday when I could buy some great product scented like Marshmallow Peeps or Conversation Hearts! It was a very fun indie shop that I really enjoyed shopping at.
I think I enabled some of you to Lathers & Lights as well! Since that time I’ve been trying to find some replacements but nothing quite grabs me the way they did! That being said, life goes on sadly and I have since replacement them with three other shops I am currently like and you might want to check out too!
First one would be Butter Toki. I am loving this cute little brand as they have a slew of yummy gourmand scents like Toasted Marshmallow and Funnel Cake! Their scents are strong and long-wearing and the shop is Vegan as well! The scent list isn’t as massive as Lathers & Lights but they do seasonal collections! In fact, they should be doing a Valentine’s Day one soon I imagine! They carry creamy body soaps, scrubs, and perfume rollerballs.
Doctor Sweet Tooth is another shop that carries a MASSIVE assortment of fragrances in an huge assortment of products such as body sprays, perfume rollerballs, body powders, bath bombs, and more! Their perfume rollerball section alone has 91 fragrances listed (not nearly as big as Lathers and Lights but still quite a bit of variety!).
And finally, Autumn Apples Scents who I have a love hate relationship with. I LOVE that they have almost as many scents as Lathers & Lights not to mention they dupe Lush fragrances like Snowcake as well as some freaking spot on higher end ones like Kilian Love, Don’t be Shy. But I HATE their packaging. It’s awesome. It reminds me of Windows ’95 and my obsession with Print Shop and creating labels. There fragrances are amazing, strong, long-wearing, with an excellent selection but the packaging leaves A LOT to be desired!
Anyway, if you’re missing Lathers & Lights hopefully some of these options help ease the hurt.
Enjoy!
Yesterday I noticed that Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum launched at Sephora.com and it had no reviews but today I came back to it and already it has 5-star rating. That was fast. I’m going to go ahead and refrain from making snarky comments about reviews and just tell you about the serum haha….!
A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum contains 6.5% stablized retinoid blends according to Sunday Riley that acts to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines while improving the appearance of skin that maybe have been exposed to UV rays.

It seems like a lot of retinoid treatments and serums are currently hitting the skincare world. Drunk Elephant Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is another that recently launched.
What do you think of Sunday Riley’s formula experienced retinoid users? Does it look promising?
Sephora Rubber Masks are a thing now and super cheap too! I’m a tried and true fan of Shangpree Gold Premium Modeling Mask but Sephora’s new Rubber Mask formula is six bucks so, I’m totally willing to give them a try!
Available in three formulas these masks come in their own little mixing pot. They start out as a powder and you’ll pour water into the pot, mix, and you’ll end up with a rubber-like paste mask to be applied to your face for five to ten minutes. Shangpree’s formulas is great for hydrating and leaving skin bouncy! However, aside from the coconut version I’m unsure what issues Sephora’s formula benefits as they haven’t said as such on the website.
The coconut mask addresses drier skin by soothing and hydrating however, Goji and Kiwi I’m clueless about sadly. Still at six bucks a pop I’m willing to try them all out and see how things go 😉
The Sephora Rubber Mask Collection is available now!
Squeee! Charlotte Tilbury’s complete Pillow Talk Collection is back in stock at charlottetilbury.com. The Pillow Talk Look Box ($145) which includes the complete collection (eyeshadow palette, lipstick, liner, and blush) is also available again. This set sold out very quickly during the Holiday season!
If you’ve been wanting some of these items you’ll be happy to see them back in stock!
Enjoy!
