This month’s Lovin’ Lately is a little.. well.. late, BUT it’s filled with a ton of things I love, including one of THE best hydrating face masks I’ve tried in a long time. I briefly talked about Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser in this post. It’s one of my favorite cleansers at the moment and I love using this as part of my double-cleanse routine (especially after using the Akwi Cleanser*).

I love their CC+ Cream, Concealers, Superhero Mascara and a bunch of other products. I’m sure that all of you already know this, because I mention their products here on the blog quite often.
