Winter Book Haul - 2024

 Hi, everyone! This post is coming out a little late. I haven't had access to my computer for a few weeks now. With the new baby coming, we had to move our computers out of the room we were using as our office so we could turn it into a bedroom.

Here are the books I received this season. They're all gifts from my husband from Valentine's Day.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Other Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Arabian Nights Translated by Sir Richard Burton

Mark Twain

That's all for this season! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Winter Empties & Review - 2024

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? I'm prepping for my baby shower in a couple weeks and getting everything ready for the new baby. It's crazy how fast the time is flying by!

Here's everything I was able to use up these last few months!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Makeup Remover Wipes

These are fine for quick makeup removal.

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet

I love these sheet masks! I repurchase these masks constantly.

Ole Henriksen Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner

This was a nice toner, but I didn't notice my dark spots clearing up at all.

Bath & Body Works Whipped Rose & Vanilla Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

This scent is very nice! Not overly vanilla scented and slightly floral.

 

Ouai Detox Shampoo

This was okay. I doubt I would ever purchase a full size bottle though.

Lancome Advanced Genefique

This sinks into the skin very quickly and kept my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Drunk Elephant Ceremight AF Eye Balm

I wouldn't repurchase this. I didn't notice any change in my eye area, and this didn't make my skin feel soft or hydrated at all.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

This was okay. I didn't feel like it helped with my acne at all though.

Christina Aguilera Inspire Perfume

 

I've had this for such a loooooong time! I'm glad I finally used it up. This was my oldest perfume in my collection, so I'm glad it's finally empty.

Soft Lips x Hello Kitty Lip Balm in Hot Cocoa

 

This didn't do anything for my dry lips. But I never expected it to. It smells nice at least.

It Cosmetics Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Serum

This was nice! It sinks into the skin nicely and kept my skin feeling hydrated all night.

Bath & Body Works Ultimate Hydration Body Lotion in Vanilla Bean Noel

I wouldn't buy this scent again. It's overly sweet and keeps its scent for a long time.

Olaplex Hair Perfector

This made my hair feel so nice and soft! I was worried about all the people saying it made their hair fall out, but that wasn't my experience. I will definitely repurchase this.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

Again, these are fine for a quick makeup removal, but they make my skin feel oily.

That's everything I was able to use up this time! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

New Very Small Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

Here's everything new I picked up/received recently.

The Hair Edit Sleek Chignon Pin

This was sent to me from BzzAgent. It's very sturdy and doesn't bend very easily so it won't break. It's super cute and elevates the hair style.

Lancome Tint Idole Liquid Eye-Blusher in Hot Lava

 

This was also sent to me from BzzAgent. It's a beautiful, neutral shade. It is shimmery, but it's very wearable. I didn't notice much creasing, but I always use an eye primer before applying any eye shadow.

That's everything this time! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic week!

New Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your holiday weekend? Unfortunately, my son had an ear infection and woke up around 4:30 every morning. Needless to say, we were all very tired this past weekend.

On to nicer things... here's everything I received/bought recently and also some items that were in my stocking for Christmas!

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness

I received this from BzzAgent, and I did not like this at all. I already wrote about this in my last declutter post, but here it is again with pictures this time. This caused my face to break out with dozens of whiteheads. It didn't even lessen the amount of redness on my face. Not worth it at all, in my opinion.

The Ordinary Niacinamide Powder

I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but I'm excited to!

Ole Henriksen Acids Done Bright Set

 

This was on clearance, so I ordered it. I've used 2 out of the 3 products in this set before, and I liked both of them. I hadn't tried the scrub before, but it smelled divine!

Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer

 

I had a sample of this, and I loved how it looked under my eyes so I purchased the full size of it. It brightens and conceals so well, I actually look rested. lol

Youth to the People Superfood + Cedarwood Fresh Greens Hand Soap

 

I received this free from BzzAgent. This is really nice. I love the glass bottle, and the scent is very fresh. Would I pay $39 to replace this hand soap? No.

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet

I've used this brands sheet masks for many years and I love them!

Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer in Shade 2

I received this free from BzzAgent. I've only tried this once so far, but it disprupted my foundation when I applied it. I'll try applying it before foundation and see if that works better.

MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish

I loved the look of this packaging, and it was on sale at Ulta, so I impulsively purchased it. I have no idea if this shade is going to be a bit too dark for me. Here's hoping it's not!

Tree Hut Vitamin C Shea Sugar Scrub

This was in my stocking for Christmas. I love these scrubs!

Hair Clips

 

These were also in my stocking. Thank goodness because I definitely needed more! I love the colors of these clips too.

Kitsch

 

*Also in my stocking* I can always use more hair ties!

Kitsch

 

*Also in my stocking* I really like these velvet scrunchies!

O Keeffe Lip Repair Lip Balm

*Also in my stocking* I have chronically dry lips, so here's hoping this helps!

Lily England Detangling Brush

*Also in my stocking* I love the color of this brush!

Tony Moly I'm Aloe Mask Sheet

*Also in my stocking* I love love love these sheet masks, so I'm always happy to get more.

Sun Bum Tinted Sunscreen Lip Balm

*Also in my stocking* I've never tried this brand before, but I'm interested to see how this works for me during the summer.

Que Bella Cleansing Aloe Vera Cream Mask

This was part of gift from a game we played with my in-laws on Christmas Eve. I love face masks, so I'm always happy to get new ones to try!

Hair Brush and Comb

This was a Christmas gift and came as a set. I've been wanting a wooden handled brush for quite some time now, but I keep forgetting to actually go out and buy one. I'm so happy to finally have one now!

Hair Bows

*Also in my stocking* I love hair bows! I haven't worn any in a long time though. I'm so ready to start wearing them again. These bows are so cute!

That's everything I got for now! Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful new year!
