How cool is this hydrating lipstick from Givenchy! It looks like a menacing black color, but when you put it on, the lipstick reacts to your own personal pH and creates an unique color just for you! Love that!

I notice on other people Givenchy Le Rouge Hydra Balm in color 10 gives off more of a dark pink or light purple tone. On me, I hardly notice a color. It’s a little on the dark pink side, but very light. This makes the lipstick great for casual, everyday wear when you want the no-makeup look. It’s also hydrating, so it’s a more put together look than non-color lip balm.

The case is really easy to use, especially if you try to open it one-handed. It’s magnetic so it opens and closes without effort. Love that! It’s also very pretty in my handbag. I mean, aesthetics are everything, am I right? haha

So, if you are looking for a light, hydrating lip balm that doubles as a light color lipstick, this is the one! Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

fall 2026 trends street style

BAF Weekly List from top left: chocolate brown sweater / Hermes nail polish / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior holiday nail polish / Chanel fragrance / Givenchy lipstick (review coming soon!) / black handbag / gold hoop earrings / black loafers / belted tote / black boots / suede high heels / black jeans /

Fall is in full swing and with all these neutrals, I am looking forward to the spring season when we start adding color back to our wardrobes. In order to prepare, be sure to have essentials in neutral hues so it will be easy to add color in the spring. Think neutral sweaters, jeans, shoes, and bags. Then, when spring rolls around, we can start adding pops of colors. Love that!

Are you looking for the perfect classic high heels, boots, and shoes in general? I love these boots and these high heels. They have arch support and fit like a glove. Despite my painful plantar fasciitis, I am able to last all day in these boots and high heels. They are easy to walk and stand in. These are the perfect shoes to wear daily and invest in! Love them!

Polo Ralph Lauren Blaze handbag review

it bags 2026 polo blaze handbag

How beautiful is this handbag! I am in love with the design on the flap of this Polo Blaze shoulder bag. In addition to beautiful design, the Blaze bag by Ralph Lauren Polo features a top handle and detachable strap which can be worn over the shoulder or as a cross body. Love that!

The Polo Blaze handbag features an interior slim pocket which can hold credit cards, receipts or anything slim. While the top handle strap is permanent, the shoulder/cross body strap is detachable, so the bag can be worn casually or dressed up. With the top handle, it can be an under the armpit bag, reminiscent of the 1990s, or worn on the forearm, reminiscent of the early 2000s.

The leather is strong and excellent quality with a suede interior. I love the strong construction of this bag. I feel like it can be worn daily without fear of scratches or looking worn right away. The love is real!

So, if you are looking for the perfect handbag which can be worn multiple ways, and for both casual and dressy occasions, this is it! The Polo Blaze handbag was also spotted on the spring runways, so the handbag style has longevity in Ralph Lauren Polo’s collection. We don’t need to worry about it being trendy, it has timeless staying power. Love an investment bag!
