It’s Friday Five time! ✨ Happy Friday! You know what that means… Friday Five. 💕 Here are five finds I’ve been loving lately and absolutely had to share because they are THAT good. ✨ Dalba First Spray Serum — I’m on my 10th bottle… yes, tenth! That should tell you everything. This gives the most beautiful glow, adds hydration, and makes your skin look so fresh and healthy. Bonus: it’s on Prime Deal right now, so don’t miss it. ✨ Then I Met You Eye Cream — One of the best eye creams I’ve used in a long time. I’ve already seen improvement in my under-eye area, and I genuinely don’t want to be without it now. It’s also on Prime Deal, so I grabbed two at this price. ✨ NOYZ Perfume — You know I’m picky about fragrance, so when I say this vanilla scent is special, I mean it. Clean, sophisticated, not overly sweet… just gorgeous. A solid 10/10. ✨ Makeup Pencil Sharpener — If you’re constantly searching for a sharpener that actually works and doesn’t destroy your pencils… look no further. This is hands down the best one I’ve found. ✨ Makeup Brushes — These brushes perform like high-end luxury brushes… and honestly, maybe even better. Soft, beautiful application, and such amazing value. Those are my Friday Five this week!

✨ MAKEUP SESH — CLEAN BRUSHES CHANGE EVERYTHING ✨ Ok friends… if you’re not cleaning your makeup brushes regularly, this is your sign. 😅 I just found the most amazing brush cleaner — quick, effective, and honestly kind of magical. And before we get into the how, let’s talk why clean brushes matter ⬇️ ✔️ Cleaner brushes = better makeup application ✔️ No muddy colors or patchy blending ✔️ Helps prevent breakouts + irritation ✔️ Your makeup looks smoother, fresher, and more polished Now let me show you how easy this is 👇 🧼 How I clean my brushes: • Pour a small amount of the liquid into a bowl • Dip just the tip of a dirty brush until it absorbs • Swirl on a paper towel • Keep swirling until what’s coming off is clear • Done — brushes are clean and dry within minutes, ready to use You will literally see the makeup coming out, and once you try this, there’s no going back. I’ll also send links to some of my favorite makeup brushes that I use all the time — because great brushes + clean brushes = the best results. 💄✨ Save this for your next brush-cleaning moment or send it to a friend who needs this reminder. 😉 And tell me — what are you currently using to clean your makeup brushes? 👇 clean makeup brushes, makeup brush cleaner, flawless makeup application, makeup hygiene tips, beauty routine essentials #LTKgrwm #LTKdayinmylife #LTKBeauty
If you have hooded eyes and struggle with eye makeup… this is for you. 👁️✨ I call this my easy 1-2-3 eye technique because it gives definition, lift, and dimension without needing 10 different shadows or spending forever blending. Do you struggle with hooded eyes too? 👇 #LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

It’s time for another Splurge or Save 💁‍♀️✨ And today we’re talking about overnight hair serums. If you’re dealing with dry, brittle, dehydrated hair—especially from heat styling, coloring, or just aging hair—you may want to add one of these to your routine. ⭐ SPLURGE: Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum This has been a favorite of mine for a while. I use it often on my hair shafts before bed, and by morning my hair feels softer, smoother, and much less brittle. I love that it works overnight while you sleep—easy, no extra effort, and you wake up with hair that feels revived. ⭐ SAVE: L’Oréal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Overnight Serum Here’s the interesting part—L’Oréal Group owns Kérastase, so sometimes you’ll find overlapping technologies, ingredients, or similar formulations across brands. Is this an exact dupe? No. But it delivers very similar nourishing and hydrating benefits at a much friendlier price point. I especially like this one for those with thicker, coarser, or curlier hair textures, where that extra hydration can really make a difference. So… Splurge or Save? If you want the luxe experience and salon-quality formula, go with Kérastase. If you want great results without spending as much, L’Oréal is a fantastic option. Either way, overnight hair care can make a huge difference—especially as our hair changes with age.

✨ Splurge or Save? Let’s talk pants! One of my most asked questions this summer has been: “Is there an affordable version?” So today, I’m comparing my favorite Ruti pants with a fantastic Amazon alternative. 💛 The Splurge – Ruti Pants • I’ve been wearing these on repeat all summer and will continue into fall and winter. • Cotton sateen fabric with a more structured, elevated feel. • Available in multiple lengths, making them a great option if you’re taller. • Worth the investment if you’re looking for a forever staple. 🤍 The Save – Amazon Pants • Lightweight nylon fabric that’s comfortable and travel-friendly. • Available in multiple colors and sizes. • You can buy several pairs for the price of one Ruti pant! • Easy to dress up or down and perfect for year-round wear. The best part? Both are comfortable, flattering, travel beautifully, and look great now with sandals or sneakers and later with boots. So... are you Team Splurge or Team Save? Let me know below! 👇 #LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm
💸 SPLURGE OR SAVE? 💸 Today we're putting a luxury favorite head-to-head with a budget-friendly contender... ✨ Patrick Ta Bronzer Duo ✨ Morphe Bronzer Duo And honestly? The results surprised me! When I swatched the cream bronzers side by side, there was very little difference. Both blended beautifully, both added warmth and dimension, and both gave that gorgeous sun-kissed look we all love. Even though the powder shades look different in the packaging, once applied to the skin, the final result is incredibly similar. 🤎 Cream formula? Similar. 🤎 Blendability? Similar. 🤎 Final bronzed look? Very similar. So is Patrick Ta worth the splurge? If you love luxury beauty, beautiful packaging, and are loyal to the Patrick Ta brand, you may absolutely feel it's worth the investment. But if you're looking for a gorgeous bronzed glow without spending the extra money, the Morphe version is a fantastic save. Sometimes luxury wins... And sometimes the drugstore comes surprisingly close. 😉 Which would you choose—SPLURGE or SAVE? 👇 #carolleecalling #splurgeorsave #patrickta #morphe #bronzer #makeupcomparison #beautyover50 #beautyover60 #agelessbeauty #drugstoremakeup #luxurybeauty #makeupdupes #makeupfavorites #over50beauty #over60beauty #makeuptips #beautyfinds #bronzedglow #makeuplover #beautyreview #LTKBeauty #LTKstorytime #LTKvlog
