May Favorites: Hair, Skin + Body Edition

3 days ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

Rounding up my favorites from May today. I usually focus on makeup favorites but so many of you have asked for more skincare and haircare loves so today’s post is all about hair, body and skin. My hair and skin has been going through some changes since around November with an extended dry season this past winter/spring.
Valentino Puffer Lip Plumper Gloss

1 week ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

Valentino Beauty launched a new plumping gloss called the Puffer Lip Gloss ($38 each, Nordstrom and Sephora). I received a couple shades in PR but also picked up three as the shades looked really pretty in store. These are sheer to medium in coverage although some of the shades have more coverage than others. The plumping effect is pretty visible and the tingle and stinging sensation is strong although I didn’t get numb lips and I was able to wear these without issue.

New Spring Perfumes I’ve Been Loving

2 weeks ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

It’s time for another perfume roundup! I’ve been exploring more fragrances this year and I’m thrilled to have found so many great new loves. Today I’m focusing mainly on the new ones I love right now but I’ll mention a few misses too. Maison Francis Kurkdjian KurkyMaison Francis Kurkdjian Kurky ($245, Nordstrom) is my favorite splurge this year! It’s a creamy fruity gourmand that isn’t too sweet. Has a beautiful mix of musk and vanilla for a bright fun feel.
Chanel Les Beiges Golden Hour - Summer 2025

2 weeks ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

The Chanel Les Beiges Summer 2025 launch is here with the Golden Hour Collection. I ordered all the new makeup items to review. Quick mention that they’ve also expanded the Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch shades which I think is one of the best foundation formulas! I hope they continue to expand the shades of all their bases, in particular I hope they eventually add BD41 to the lineup which is usually the best match and undertone for me.
Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine

1 month ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

Armani Beauty recently launched a shine version of the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint ($39 each). I’ve been such a huge fan of the original satiny/matte formula because they have the best wear time for a liquid blush. The shine versions have a soft luminous glow in a very subtle way. They are noticeably more glowy than the originals but aren’t too shimmery or too dewy. I shared a demo earlier in the week here to show how they blend and look on the skin in action.
New Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Definer Trio + Eye Wardrobe

1 month ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

Victoria Beckham Beauty launched a few new products recently and I have a mini review. The set I was most excited about was her new Lip Definer Trio ($86, Victoria Beckham Beauty, Bluemercury, Violet Grey) and as a fan of her neutrals I ordered it immediately. I love her lip pencils because they’re very much like a traditional lip pencil – no fuss formula and great pigment. Two of the shades are exclusive to the set.
NARS Hot Escape Summer 2025

1 month ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

NARS launched their Hot Escape Collection for summer and it’s a beautiful one! I’ve been testing everything over the past month and finally have a review of some of the pieces. Hot Escape Cheek PalettesI think the Hot Escape Cheek Palettes ($49 each) are a huge hit this year. It’s always a toss up whether I’ll end up liking all the shades in a palette but this year NARS created all winners. I love that they have different intensities and variations for different skin tones.

Dior Forever Nude Bronze Review

1 month ago | thebeautylookbook.com | Sabrina Shorb

Dior Beauty launched new bronzers in two different formats called the Forever Nude Bronzer ($52, available in 8 shades) that come in a soft glow and matte option along with a Forever Nude Bronze Jumbo ($64, available in 4 shades) in an oversized compact. Both come in a stunning quilted stitched mirrored compact that has an ultra luxurious feel. These are soft bronzers with a floral gardenia/jasmine like scent (I can’t quite pinpoint the exact notes, but it’s a nice floral).
