May 2024
Welcome to May! Over at Citrine, we’re going through quite a transition as we’re moving! We are moving from the location we’ve had at the Arizona Biltmore for nearly 8 years now into a brand new, extra gorgeous, fresh new space, also at the Biltmore, just in a different area of the mall. Our new space is directly across from the Ralph Lauren and we will be opening our doors on May 10th for an exciting weekend full of grand reopening activations so if you’re local, please come and join in on the festivities. This is definitely a bittersweet moment as we’re closing out one chapter and saying goodbye to such a prosperous and fruitful time in our previous store so I am feeling a mix of sentimental and excitement all at once. There’s a lot of moving parts, literally and figuratively, going on behind the scenes so bare with us as we get your orders shipped out!
We are also planning some exciting offerings for you to enjoy throughout the month so make sure you’re signed up to receive our newsletters and SMS as well for exclusive invitations and early access. On a personal note, my daughter Willow just turned six and I am just so in love with the young woman she is growing into! Time is truly flying by and I feel so grateful to witness these precious moments with her, especially as we celebrate Mother’s Day this month. I’m looking forward to spending some more quality time with her and my family in tandem with the grand opening weekend. Throughout this wild phase of change and transformation, I’m making sure to take all the extra time I can to dive into some much needed TLC. From face masks to luxe facial mists and hopefully a spa day towards the end of the month once we are all settled in, I’m so thankful for my lineup of self care tools. I love to fall back on my beauty rituals as a self soothing form of therapy and replenishment.
I’m wishing you all a beautiful month ahead! Enjoy the gorgeous weather, abundant spring energy and of course, Mother’s Day. We have a specially curated collection of Mother’s Day gifting ideas that you can find here. All of my favorites I chose for this month also make beautiful gifts as well! Let’s get right into them…
I absolutely love a good hydrosol facial mist and this has been one of my holy grails for years. Jasmine is one of my all time favorite scents and this mist does not disappoint. You are immediately transported to a lush, decadent jasmine wonderland. This beautifully fragrant facial mist comes out in such a perfect, fine mist that immediately quenches the skin. Formulated with rose and ylang-ylang as well, it delivers a boost of nutrients and vitamins into the skin allowing for deep hydration. You can set your makeup with this mist, which is one of my best beauty tips or you can spritz on fresh skin to seal in your skin care, either way, you’re left with the most supple glow.
As you may know, I have been completely obsessed with the now best selling RMS Redimension Hydra Powder Blushes since they launched and was so excited when we got the bronzer formulation in stock! These are the most luminous, radiant bronzers that give you a multidimensional, sun-kissed glow. They have a really natural skin-like finish that just melts into the skin and doesn't appear cakey on the skin at all. They have the same wet powder technology as the blushes, so they go on as a powder but appear on the skin as if they were a lightweight cream product with that hint of dewy sheen that just gives you the most stunning lit from within glow. 10/10 and just in time for the warm months!
This creamy, luxurious clay mask does wonders for a dehydrated, irritated complexion. It’s great for a total revitalization as it contains Tasmanian Pepper which acts as a natural lidocaine, immediately taking away any inflammation & redness. Loaded with a ton of nourishing potassium with Broccoli Stem, I can really feel my skin just soaking up the hydration & nutrients. This is a clay mask, however, it does not dry out the skin at all, which I find clay masks can often do. This clay also stays very soft on the skin, never hardening & it actually contains mimetic Sapphire which gives the skin that bright, luminous glow and helps to take away dark spots & age spots over time. Honestly, this is the best in the business, guys! I also love that I can see instant results & it gives me a flawless airbrushed look.
You guys know I love me some volume. Voluminous curls and ultra glamorous hair styles are definitely a part of my signature aesthetic and with that comes the need for some hold. This hairspray has never let me down. I love it because it has a really flexible hold so you get that gentle softness while still keeping your style in place. It contains ethically sourced, organic raw honey that helps create shine and add hydration to your locks while keeping it strong. Rice proteins plus aloe vera help to keep the hair nourished, strong and hydrated. Works like a charm!
One of our latest brand additions is Aphina, a luxurious line of high performance liquid supplements that help to elevate your health and wellness. The Vegas Water has been my absolute go-to lately for a boost of hydration and its beauty enhancing qualities. I just add it to a glass of sparkling water and it instantly turns into this gorgeous electric blue elixir due to the butterfly pea flower. It’s formulated with organic freeze dried coconut water for that decadent dose of thirst quenching hydration and electrolytes plus pearl for its luminous beautifying properties. Pearl has been utilized throughout ancient cultures to enhance the complexion thanks to its high mineral content. I love to treat myself to this fun little mocktail situation in the evenings or outside in the backyard over a glass of ice.
