The March Edit
A curated roundup of the month’s most noteworthy finds.
Welcome to the March Edit! These are the things I’ve used repeatedly, couldn’t stop reaching for, talked about too much, or made me feel like my absolute best self this month.
My month was very beauty and fitness heavy so we’ve got some socks that I can’t stop raving about, the best top for gym workouts, and a fragrance that smells like the perfect spring day.
Let’s get into it.
Boxy Workout Tee
I’m not a sports bra as a top person at the gym. I use machines and equipment, and I’m not a fan of my skin making direct contact with them. I wipe them down before and after I use them, but still…people are gross. I’d been wearing tees made out of performance fabrics, but they were clingy and hot. I need something that won’t make cardio feel any worse than it already does.
I bought one of these 100% cotton boxy workout tees and instantly fell in love! I have three now (two black and a navy) and will absolutely be buying more. I get the barrier I want and a breeze. Plus, it’s cotton, so it doesn’t hold smells nearly as much as polyester and its ilk.
Forme Socks
Listen, I didn’t want to like these socks. I really didn’t. I thought it was a gimmick and they would just feel like overpriced compression socks. I was so, so wrong. It feels like your feet are being lightly squeezed all day with ankle support. It squeezes along the sides of your feet, too, all the way from your tiny toes to your heel. It’s a sensation that’s kind of hard to explain, but I promise it feels phenomenal. The left and right socks are designated by small letters in the toe area, so you’re getting the support and compression in exactly the right spots.
I wore them the morning after an evening of shopping when my feet were protesting. The light squeeze and ankle support made my feet feel as good as new after a few hours with no effort on my part.
I need to buy another pair or two. These might even make my list of stocking stuffers since literally everyone could use these. I’m getting a pair for Chanston too.
Bacne Spray
I got tired of body acne, especially in harder to reach places like my back. I’m almost out of this body acne clearing mist and I’d absolutely buy another one if stopping the acne was my only goal. The atomizer is fantastic. It mists well and projects far enough to cover my whole back. It’s done a great job keeping me from getting any more breakouts so now I’m turning my attention to clearing the leftover acne scarring. I might just buy another one anyway. I want to quickly get back to spraying this if I see my progress slipping away.
Stainless Steel Gua Sha
I’ve been taking my gua sha routine more seriously and my skin looks brighter and pinker now, probably from improved circulation. I had been using a jade one, but I upgraded to a stainless steel gua sha for a better experience. First off, it’s cool to the touch without needing to go into the fridge. Stainless steel is also non-porous so it’s easier to keep clean than stone gua shas. I clean it with facewash before getting started (like I’d been doing with the jade one) and I’ve noticed fewer breakouts since making this switch.
Giardini di Toscana Shabby Chic EDP
She’s floral and powdery, but so very grown up! This fragrance is the newest addition to my collection, and I’ve been spraying it accordingly. Imagine you’re in a flowing white gown and just stepped into your sunroom on a bright spring morning. There is an immaculate bouquet of peonies and roses on the cedarwood table and the temperature is perfect. Not too hot. Not too cold. But just right for a light cashmere sweater. That’s what this smells like.
DefineMe Nearly Nude EDP
I keep reaching for this perfume as my bedtime scent. It’s like a soothing, floral oatmeal bath so it sets the perfect relaxing vibe. It doesn’t clash with my bedtime sheet spray either so that’s a plus.
Brow Gel
I’ve been lazy about trimming my brows, and it was starting to show. I’ve stopped playing and started smoothing them pre-trim with this brow gel so I know exactly how they’ll look on the daily. I like a super strong hold that doesn’t feel crunchy so I know my brows won’t budge. This one meets both of the requirements. Put it on after primer, but before foundation for the best outcome.
Translucent Setting Powder
I’ve mentioned this as a favorite before, but my skin just looks so good when I use this setting powder! It mattifies without making your skin look dull and flat. Don’t let the white color scare you. It’s indetectable once you lightly press it in. You could also get one of the tinted shades if you want to add a teeny bit of color.
Define Jacket
I’m sorry, but the dupes don’t compare! I wanted them to be just as good, but they simply are not. The way this jacket is designed to smooth out any bra bulge, the way the stitching makes your boobs look great, and the way the front pockets' angle accentuates curves make these jackets worth every penny.
Apotheke Candle
I’ve been burning this candle in the living room and it smells so fresh and clean! The scent throw is elite for such a small candle. Don’t let the single wick fool you. It fills the entire main area of my house.
