The Monthly Cut is back for August. And I'm including a brow pencil that actually does the hair-stroke thing instead of just claiming to. An Amazon set that holds up next to Doen and Aritzia for a fraction of the price. And a white button-down giving old Anine Bing.
Also, I think these electrolytes actually make me want to drink more water, which says a lot. A Mango jacket that looks more expensive than it is. Faux leaves that converted someone who takes a saw to branches off her own backyard tree rather than buying fake ones (hi, it's me) and a few more.
Nothing sponsored. Just what I used.
Tried every brown pencil on the market, or close enough to it. This one’s the skinniest tip I’ve found and it actually does the hair-like strokes instead of just saying it does. Bought a backup for my purse (which tells you everything).
I try a lot of clothing from Amazon. I buy them, they don’t send it to me, and truthfully a lot of it isn’t great. So when I find something that is good, I feel like I really need to shout about it. This set truly holds up to similar quality from my Doen or Aritzia sets and is significantly cheaper. I got a small.
I own quite a few, yet I’m always excited to try another one. It’s a problem, I know. But this one feels the closest to the Anine Bing one from several years ago (I wish she still made it). This is oversized in the best way and looks great with anything. I took a small but size down if you are petite or don’t want the oversized look.
Admittedly, I love most things from Ballerina Farm so I’m not surprised this made the cut, but I just tried these when we got back from France and they are truly the best-tasting electrolytes. I feel like they make me want to drink more water and I actually look forward to drinking one. I partial to the Lemon Lime Basil.
I put this on my gift guide every year and it’s a crowd favorite. This sits on my nightstand and even has a little spot to place your rings. It makes such a beautiful gift. I also like that they sell pods so you don’t have to buy a whole new one each time you run out. I haven’t tried the other fragrances, but I like that this one isn’t overpowering and is subtle.
I feel like this is cheating just a tad bc technically I didn’t wear and use this this month, BUT it is one that I know I will. Mango can be hit or miss, but this jacket feels and looks so expensive. Honestly, it is incredible and I plan to wear with loose-fitting jeans, a kitten heel, and a ribbed tank.
We got this machine last November and honestly, we bought one of the cheaper models because we didn’t think we would use it that much, as we like going out and grabbing coffee. I figured this would be OK to have for holidays, etc. Now when I tell you, I never get coffee at the coffee shop anymore! I have locked in my favorite latte recipe, and now this is what I make every single morning. I know there are better machines out there, but considering this gets used 2x or more per day, we are so happy with it.
I am NOT a faux floral/leaves person. I have genuinely grabbed a chainsaw and hacked branches off the tree in my backyard for a big arrangement rather than buy fake stems. That’s how anti-faux I am. But these? These are incredible. Actually stunning. I bought one bundle of 3, and I already know I need at least one more.. waiting on the next one to arrive now. They don’t look cheesy or fake at all, and honestly, I’m really impressed. Converting me is not an easy feat, so that should tell you something.
These work just as well as my expensive ones. They are very hydrating and feel good on tired eyes.
A friend used this recently on the tip of her nose and inner corner of her eyes, and it was so pretty! I immediately purchased it, and it’s so easy to apply and makes your makeup look really good!
