Garcelle Beauvais’ Face Print Cardigan

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Episode 7 Fashion

Let’s face the facts, Garcelle Beauvais’ face print cardigan is super cute. Sure we didn’t get a good look at it in the episode, but it was just enough to be able to track it down. It was pretty tough and I’ve never been so happy to see a face in my life. Well, except the time I saw Brad Pitt walking down the street (we love him too Garcelle). And though the cardigan may be sold out, there are some great Style Stealers that will give you happy face.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Back in November 2020, CoverGirl launched its first clean mascara, a volumizing formula that’s vegan and cruelty-free and made without ingredients like talc, parabens and phthalates. It became a new favorite and fans begged for a waterproof version. (Seriously, just look at any retail site for the where’s the waterproof?! comment.) That’s why today I’m bringing you a CoverGirl Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara in Waterproof review—in video, too.

Not only is CoverGirl launching a truly waterproof version of Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara; the brand also updated the formula. It promises to stay flake-free even longer with zero clumps. It contains argan and marula oils so the formula conditions as it lengthens and volumizes.

Now, when I say it’s waterproof, I mean waterproof—not just smudge-or water-resistant. To me, that means you should be able to soak your face, even jump into a pool, and you won’t come away with raccoon eyes. To put this mascara to the test, I applied a few layers and was pleasantly surprised to see it didn’t clump up at all. I let it dry for a few minutes and then sprayed myself in the face with water. Yes, I soaked my face as much as I could while standing in my bathroom. You can watch me make a total mess here.

What wasn’t a mess? My mascara. While my lip tint smeared and my concealer melted away, the mascara fully stayed put. There wasn’t even a drop to clean up under my eyes. I was impressed. If you have oily eyes and your mascara often smudges, this could be a really good option to try. I know I’m definitely going to wear it to my next beach day.

There’s a reason why seemingly half of the fragrance-wearing population names Le Labo’s iconic (and best-selling) Santal 33 as their signature scent — the unisex cologne smells pretty damn amazing on virtually everyone. As we all know, the same fragrance can smell wildly different from person to person, and while this is also certainly the case when it comes to Santal 33, it’s also surprisingly universally flattering.

However, it’s not cheap, and if you opt to wear it on the reg, you do also run the risk of smelling slightly similar to half of the bar on any given night when you go out — at least in LA, that is. Unfortunately, finding solid Le Labo Santal 33 dupes isn’t exactly easy, as the legendary perfumery likes to keep their proprietary blends uber-exclusive (despite the massive cult following they’ve clearly attained).

In case for some reason you haven’t ever gotten a whiff of this beloved scent, it exudes a woodsy-sweet cast that smells rugged, yet not overly masculine; hence why it smells equally as alluring on any gender. Santal 33 contains a pretty hard-to-copy blend of Australian sandalwood, cardamom, leather accord, iris, and ambrox.

I mean, it’s kind of an olfactory slice of heaven if you’re into warmer scents that emanate an aroma with equal parts musk and smoke and is painstakingly sensuous. However, if you’re worried about smelling like all of your peers (colleagues, fellow bar-goers, etc.) who are equally as obsessed with the scent, there are some similar — albeit more nuanced — alternatives to try instead. The options below smell strikingly similar to the O.G. gender-neutral cologne/perfume, and they’re also a lot easier on the wallet. It’s a win-win situation.

In case you simply cannot live without the real deal, here you go. The good news is that Nordstrom offers an assortment of different size starting at $82, so you can try before committing to a full size (which will set you back a whopping $275). Alternatively, you can also buy a sample size on Amazon for just $11.

Maison Louis Marie No.4 Perfume Oil

I’ve said this before, but I discovered this delicious scent thanks to my boss, who confessed it was basically Santal 33’s legit replica, and also only costs $82. It’s almost a spot-on dupe, and a fraction of the price.

Kierin NYC Santal Sky Eau de Parfum

Aside from its super rad pop-art-inspired packaging, this luxe sandalwood-forward fragrance is inspired by the energy of NYC, and has apparently converted Le Labo loyalists to this cheaper alternative for life (according to the Amazon reviews).

Clean Reserve Sel Santal Eau de Parfum

The name may give it away, but this sandalwood-based scent smells pretty damn close to La Labo’s. Plus, it’s also cruelty-free, formulated with sustainably sourced ingredients, and comes with eco-friendly packaging.

Dior Fahrenheit

Another O.G. fragrance, Dior’s classic Fahrenheit is infused with several of the same notes as Santal 33, including sandalwood and violet. However, it gets a dash of sweetness with a hint of vanilla bean, a slight difference that I personally enjoy.

Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Parfum

While Diptyque is undoubtedly still known as a luxury fragrance brand, but this dupe starts at just $98 for the smaller size, and the full size is only $140 ($100 less than Santal 33).

I was sitting in my favorite chair, pen poised over notepaper, wondering how to introduce this heartwarming post, when I caught a glimpse of a large shadow moving past my living room window. I glanced outside but didn’t see anything unusual, so I continued to reflect on my topic while admiring the verdant landscape.

Then in a flash, a small doe quickly ambled past the trees, around the rear of my home and out onto the main drive. If I had blinked at that second… I smiled, certain that the deer caused the shadow and even more certain that it was my sign – my inspiration to share my thoughts with you about animal sightings.

Looking for Encouragement

Have you ever needed assurance that you’re on the right track with your personal and professional goals – that the actions you initiated are appropriate strategies and aligned with your intentions? Sometimes we need encouragement to keep us moving forward, and that encouragement can show up from the natural world.

I never used to pay much attention to animals that graced my space. But when, two years ago, certain spirit allies began showing up at auspicious times, I became curious and started researching their symbolism and the personal messages they may be trying to convey. Now, when animals appear unexpectedly in my life, I take notice.

The purpose of spirit guides is to inspire us and offer emotional support and wisdom about our lives and circumstances. They sometimes visit during times of uncertainty and can be a blessing if our hearts are open to receiving their gifts.

Of course, you would expect to see squirrels, birds, deer and raccoons while hiking in the woods, but what does it mean when they appear at your doorstep and linger for a while? I’d like to share three memorable sightings that may cause you to take pause when you’re plotting your path.

The Robin – a Symbol of Passion

According to legend, a robin is a divine bird, symbolizing passion, new beginnings, patience, and wisdom.

Early one morning, prior to the launch of my women’s empowerment program, I was feeling a little down and found myself contemplating my future. I was in the process of doing a new thing in my life and had been working on my dream project for several years. Divine Spirit continues to support me on this exciting journey, and I have witnessed tremendous progress.

However, my full vision has not yet come to fruition. I know in my heart and soul that what I’m creating will not only benefit me, but will inspire many others to live their best life. Although my belief system is solid, that morning I needed a positive, tangible sign to keep me focused and energized.

While lying in bed completing my spiritual work, I recited a passionate prayer concerning my intentions and expressed my desire to be acknowledged. Am I on the right track? I had no expectation of what that sign would look like or when it would appear, only that there would be no doubt it was the Universe communicating with me.

I opened my blinds to the sunshine and lay back on my pillow to reflect further, offering praise for my bountiful blessings, and to focus on my breath. I was just about ready to get up when I saw a lovely robin with its carrot-colored breast land on the naked maple tree branch growing outside my window.

Still and silent, the feathered beauty remained perched there facing in my direction long enough for me to mentally engage with it. Our eyes seemed to lock. Could it actually see me or was it looking at its reflection?

I decided to be still, too, cautious not to startle my messenger. Ecstatic, I whispered under my breath, “You are so colorful and lovely. Thank you for showing up at the right time to comfort me.”

After a few minutes of indulging me with its graceful presence, my robin ruffled its feathers and flew off. Could there be more birds flying around outside my window? Nope. I checked. This particular robin was my sign! My assurance!

I see robins all year while on my daily treks, but this one seemed to search me out as I rested inside my home. This experience provided me with renewed hope and faith. Feeling uplifted and inspired, I began my day with newfound energy and clarity, confident that I was on the right track.

The Deer – a Sign of Confidence

Spiritually speaking, the deer is a highly intuitive totem that symbolizes confidence, peace and grace.

Another remarkable experience was so astonishing that I almost tripped over my own feet trying to grab my camera before it was too late. I was returning home from an afternoon of holiday shopping when something immediately drew me to the lower level of my home.

Outside my window was the largest deer with the most stunning antlers I had ever seen – so close that it blocked most of the natural sunlight shining through the panels – and so conveniently positioned that I could have reached through the screen and touched it. I was wowed and thanked this majestic beauty for inviting itself over for this timely encounter.

For about 10 minutes, it remained as still as a statue, then dashed off. Had I been a few minutes earlier or later, I would have missed my glorious gift. I had been feeling a little anxious all week regarding a business strategy, and my deer provided joy, peace and inspiration.

Deer mythology varies from culture to culture, but common motifs are regeneration, being gentle with yourself, and maneuvering through challenges with grace and confidence.

The Squirrel – a Balance Messenger

Folk tales and ancient story traditions depict the squirrel as an ardent messenger: Gather and prepare for the future, but take time to enjoy life.

One afternoon, I had been staring into the computer screen for hours working on a project when I was overcome with fatigue. I just happened to turn towards my office window and saw a squirrel scurry up the tall maple tree outside my window, blend in with the dense foliage and rest on one of the branches.

Pleasantly entertained by its presence, I got up to monitor its next move, but apparently it had decided to laze there for an extended siesta. By now I was feeling refreshed from my unscheduled intermission, so I decided to refocus my attention on conquering the last section of my project. When I was finished, I noticed my companion had departed.

Are you familiar with Highlights Magazine? As a kid, I recall trying to find objects in the hidden-picture puzzle. My squirrel was so well camouflaged that I would not have discovered its hidden figure if I had not seen it dash up the tree.

It offered a reprieve from my grueling task – a welcomed diversion that required me to stop, breathe and reenergize. Squirrel totems represent preparedness, rest, multitasking, and reminders to balance work and play.

How Receptive Are We in Our Daily Life?

Animals are integrated into our daily experiences and can offer support, protection and wisdom for those who are receptive to their blessings. Also, the topic of spirit guides and animal sightings can provide fodder for further exploration and fascinating discussions with those who share common interests.

Do you sometimes feel that your prayers are falling on deaf ears? Pay attention to the subtle signals that appear on your path. Ernest Hemingway said, “We have to get used to the idea that at the most important crossroads in our life there are no signs.”

Sometimes we may not be shown a sign, especially when making major decisions. Believe anyway! Ask for guidance, meditate and trust your intuition. Have faith that the Universe will offer support and back your best interests – possibly through the natural world of wildlife.
