April & May Beauty Faves, Fragrances and Books!

The series Lessons in Chemistry is really good. I didn't want it to end. Hope you watch it after the book. ☺

You had me at bougie luxurious Mediterranean resort 😍

I most recently finished The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley, which I read because I enjoyed The Guest List so much. Right now I'm reading some Truman Capote (The Grass Harp and Unanswered Prayers) because I watched Capote vs. The Swans and I jumped right back onto being obsessed with him. And all the awesome actresses on that series!

Love love Lessons in Chemistry! I read it twice

Lovely video Sandra! Love the book recs! I loved book lovers ❤

Trust (Hernan Dias) is one of the best books I ever read. It’s complex and so smartly written. Hope you enjoy it.

Take the stickers off the blushes to get them to stick to palette

Book lovers and beach read are the two best ones by Emily Henry and I am hoping her new one is in the groups well. I love how low key your goal is. I am back to school again while working and as thus my reading has slowed down but I have several on the go. The sentence by Louise Erdrich and the violin conspiracy by Brendan slocumb are the best ones I have read this year. The two fragrances I am working my way through are Burberry goddess travel spray which I love it's a lavender vanilla and Givenchy Ange ou demon le secret which is a cranberry tea scent. Both are great but only one is going to be a repurchase and keeping me from buying more. The persona sharpener has been my favourite tool and in the same boat makeup wise using up what I have - I just finished a concealer and tinted luminizer and it feels amazing.

When you talk about fragrances I feel like I want to try them all! I have to take time to go to my favorite fragrance and makeup store here in Belguim ( called parfuma) to buy myself a new spring and summer scent ( I have a gift card that I have to juse). My goal is to try to do this in May or june. ( I have to be on my own to do that, can't take my 6 year old with me, that is to distracting. And than I end up buying her a childrens scent and nothing for myself) But she is such a sweetie.

For surrat you are supposed to remove the sticker under the pans and then you can stick them in the case.

Love Naxos. Very different elegant yet contemporary sweet. It’s definitely a little black dress fragrance for sure.

There r so many books I love atm, I'm really into autobiographys I'm currently reading Agatha Christie I'm not quite finished. I also in the process of reading The London book shop affair by Louise Fein it is based on true events but liberty has been taken slightly in the writing. PS I love the Clarins lip oils, I know what u mean by original names changing :)

Need to get my hands on the MUFE 3C liner for my deep dive! Looks so good.

Monthly favorites, yay! I also loved Lessons in Chemistry (book better than TV adaptation) and all Dolly Alderton's books. For some reason, I am really into British authors lately. My current favorite is Us by David Nicholls. I first saw this on PBS then realized it was a book first. Interesting premise: a man trying to save his marriage and his relationship with his son while on a Grand Tour of Europe. The writing is so witty yet touching.

I love Trust - I hope you do too.

Loved your video, I love favourites. Some times u can't help the way your under eyes r. I've got a slight crease under my eyes and I've had that since I was 7 yrs old and now I have crow's feet 😮. I've started using Charlotte Tilbury eye cream . I love it!!!!! It is very expensive but I love it!!!!!

😊

Love your channel but miss your fashion posts and Vlogs. Really love your fashion esthetic. Last book I read was The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley which is the third novel of hers I've read. I'm currently reading my second by Dan Silva,, The Kill Artist.

Thanks for a great video. I have been reading a lot this year and maybe got a little overdone. I read Wally Lamb's book - We are Water. It was fantastic but so heavy. Then I ready Kristin Hannah's new book - The Women. Also fantastic but so so heavy. I think I need one of those light beach reads as a palette cleanser. I also got a sample set from Maison Crivelli and have been loving so many of their perfumes - French Flower, Parisian Musk and Neroli Orange are my three favs. Happy Spring to you and your family.

My under eye area has been a struggle lately, so I appreciate hearing about your routine Sandra. Even if the price points pain you (and me) 😂.
