Welcome to La Vie en May
Hi, I’m May — a petite fashionista and beauty junkie based in the New York metro area. This blog is where I document everything I’m trying, loving, and occasionally giving the side-eye in beauty, fashion, DIY projects, and the small-but-good things in lifestyle. If you’ve ever stood in front of a mirror wondering whether that lip color is going to work, or scrolled through a hundred skincare reviews looking for one honest opinion, you’re in the right place.
I started La Vie en May because I wanted a corner of the internet where the recommendations felt real — written by someone who actually tried the product, who actually had to live with it for a week, and who isn’t afraid to say something didn’t work. Beauty and fashion content can get repetitive fast. I try to write the post I wish I’d found before I bought the thing.
What you’ll find here
- Beauty reviews — skincare, makeup, hair care. I lean toward honest pros-and-cons over breathless raves. Brands I’ve covered: SkinCeuticals, Bite Beauty, MAKE Beauty, Smashbox, Kiehl’s, and many subscription-box discoveries.
- Fashion — petite-friendly styling, OOTDs, wardrobe staples that actually fit if you’re under 5’4″. Plus reviews of brands that take petite seriously (MM.LaFleur, J.Crew petites, etc.).
- DIY — small at-home projects, seasonal crafts, nail art tutorials, gift-wrap ideas.
- Lifestyle — restaurant picks in NJ/NYC, weekend itineraries, bridal squad ideas, the slow life stuff.
- Product Reviews & Giveaways — running index of everything I’ve covered.
- Subscription Boxes — Birchbox, Ipsy, MM.LaFleur Bento Box, and others.
Start here if you’re new
If you’re trying to decide whether we’re going to get along, start with the SkinCeuticals retinol review for the kind of detail I give skincare, the petite clothing hacks post for the styling angle, or the romantic NJ restaurants list if you want to see the lifestyle side.
Thanks for reading. Pull up a chair.
