No 111: The Feel Something Files

Presenting the grown-up bag charm with zero Labubu energy

The Feel Something Files is my “I-saw-something-I-liked-and-added-it-to-my-cart.” It’s half curation, half justification of fashion, accessories, home, and beauty items I’ve revisited multiple times, which means I’ve hopefully checked out. It’s sometimes stuff I don’t technically need, but can absolutely explain.

*This newsletter is produced in partnership with MUTHA.

Let’s get right into it:

Violette_Fr Lip Nectar: The number of times I’ve purchased something or said, “I need that” because it’s been worn or applied by Violette is too many to count. I can’t wait to use her new Lip Nectar, which has an oil-in-water emulsion. I’m not 100% sure what that means, but I’m guessing it has an oil-like texture. So, it’s a stain without the typical attributes of a stain. Think high shine and hydrating sans stickiness.

Haus Labs Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick: The word glassy in a makeup product usually sells me out the gate (just make sure there’s no shimmer involved). I’ve been so impressed with Haus Labs Glassy Highlighter Balm, so I’m excited to try this creamy blush.

Kinn 5-Stone Chain Earring in Emerald: I love fine jewelry with a pop of color. I have a total of 8 ear piercings and I want my earscape to appear a little playful, slightly minimal, but polished. These fit the bill. Use code JAYME10 for 10% off your next order!

Kallmeyer Leo Key Ring: Bag charms are funny to me because it’s such a cyclical trend. Count me out when it comes to Labubu’s. But when it comes to the practicality of this Kallamayer keychain, I’m sold. Yes, it can be a bag charm, but I’m entirely obsessed with how Kallmeyer styled it on a windbreaker with a pencil skirt.

H-O-R-S-E The Short Short: Everything designer Sue Williamson touches always is thoughtful and incredibly creative. Her new brand H-O-R-S-E is inspired by vintage silhouettes and P.E. uniforms. The nostalgia captivated me immediately, and I’ve been on the lookout for a casual pair of shorts that aren’t denim or traditional workout shorts. So The Short Short feels ideal.

Mutha No. 1 Serum: Vitamin C, mostly L-Ascorbic Acid, has never been kind to my skin. Catch me intrigued when I learned that THD, a stabilized form of Vitamin C that’s 50x more effective than L-Ascorbic Acid, is a great option for more sensitive skin types. In Serum No. 1, it’s also blended with niacinamide, a favorite ingredient of mine for strengthening skin and reducing inflammation. Use code JAYME15 for 15% off your next order!
