Four appeal Pick-Me-Ups From René Furterer, Repêchage, Dolce & Gabbana and Estée Lauder

kicking off the week with a stunning start! Well, trying to at least.

Last weekend, ugh! — absolutely floored me. That two-day migraine felt like a symphony of jackhammers in my head, and it was rough. It’s gone now, thank goodness, and I’m feeling a lot more like myself again.

So, earlier today, just as I was about to jump back into the pet assisting grind, I thought, “Ya know what? What I need ideal now is to do something that makes me feel really, really great, even if it’s just for a half an hour.”

I needed a appeal pick-me-up, so I made a cup of chamomile tea, grabbed a few new fave appeal products from René Furterer, Repêchage, Dolce & Gabbana and Estée Lauder, and told Tabs that I’d back to work in a few.

René Furterer Karité intense Nourishing Mask

René Furterer Karité intense Nourishing Mask ($46), available now at salons, appeal stores and online
First buy of business: a hot shower and René Furterer’s Karité intense Nourishing Mask ($46 for a 6.93-ounce jar), a five-minute deep conditioning treatment for dry hair that smoothes and hydrates with a mix of fair-trade shea butter and plant oils.

I just started using it last week, and I think it’s the reason why I had a series of near-epic hair days — like, the best I’ve had in months. Karité adds body, shine and leaves my hair smelling like lilies. Jeg elsker det!

Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask

Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask ($38), available now at spas and online
Have I pointed out that I’ve been on a face mask kick? I don’t know, but there’s something about a good face mask that gives me…hope, LOL! I’m also a big fan of sitting on my butt and doing absolutely nothing while I wait for a mask to work its magic.

My skin’s been a little dry lately (you know, ’cause winter) so after I jumped out of the shower, I applied a layer of Illuminating cream Mask for normal to dry Skin ($38 for a 2-ounce tube) by Repêchage, an under-the-radar brand actually carried in spas all over the world. Their whole line consists of products with “nutrient-rich seaweed” harvested off the Brittany coast of France.

After 10 minutes, I tissued off the mask and could nearly hear my skin sighing with relief. Ahh…

Dolce & Gabbana Desire

Dolce & Gabbana desire Eau de Parfum ($93), available now at Dolce & Gabbana counters and online
If I could, I’d hug every single one of the perfumers over at Dolce & Gabbana. I feel like they get me, ya know (says the girl who wore Light Blue on her wedding day)?

Desire’s, a de-lovely fruity floral, is their newest scent ($93 for a 1.6-ounce bottle). It lasts all day long for me and brings to mind overseas adventures, exploring foreign cities at night with a new love.

The official fragrance notes include…

Top notes: Mandarin, lychee, bergamot and Lily of the Valley

Middle notes: Madonna lily, Indian Tuberose, jasmine and plum nectar

Base notes: Vanilla-infused caramel, sandalwood, musk and cistus labdanum (a resin from a Mediterranean shrub)

One spritz and I felt like a new girl.

Estée Lauder French nude Collection nail Lacquers in Bittersweet and So Vain

Estée Lauder’s French nude Collection nail Lacquers in Bittersweet on the left and So Vain on the ideal ($20 each), available now at Estée Lauder counters and online
I wrapped up my appeal improve today with a quick at-home polish change using two Pure color nail Lacquers ($20 each) from Estee Lauder’s new French Nudes, a five-piece summer collection of neutral shades. I painted my fingers with creamy dark brown Bittersweet and my toes with rosy beige So Vain.

If you can, please take some time today — even if it’s just a 10-minute break with a cup of tea — to do something that makes you feel good. It’s important, you know?
