New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? Who's ready for Halloween?! I sure am! It's my favorite holiday. My oldest is so excited to wear his costume. He's going as "Doodle-Bob" from SpongeBob. He is so silly!

Here are all the new products that I've either received or purchased recently that I'm excited to try out. 

 Olay Super Serum Body Cream

This was free for review from Influenster. It's pretty thick and it makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated.

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser

This was on sale at Sephora for half off! I love this cleanser, so of course I picked one up.  

Native Body Wash in Cucumber & Mint

This was also free from Influenster for review. It smells so fresh and clean. It seems to cleanse pretty well too.

The Ordinary Exfoliating Toner

 

I used up my last bottle, so I had to purchase another. For under $9.00, it's something I'll probably continue to repurchase. 

Valentino Spike Valentino Buttery Matte Lipstick in Nude Poeme

 

This was also free for review from Influenster. The formula isn't super drying on the lips which matte lipsticks can tend to be. The packaging is pretty heavy and sturdy. The lipstick component itself pops out and is replaceable.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Seeker Highlighter in Sun Idol

 

This was also on sale at Sephora. It was on my wishlist for a while, so when I saw it on sale I had to snag it. 

Layhomo Shea Butter Body Lotion

This product and the following two items were in a little gift bag that my husband received from work. 

Peauamie Hyaluronic Acid Eye Mask

Chap-Ice Citrus Orange Lip Balm

That's everything for now! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

 

Summer Empties & Review - 2025

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

I had more empties this season, but some of my files on my computer were corrupted and I no longer have those photos. In addition to what's pictured below, I also used up a First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser, an Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown, a Caress body wash, a Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara mini, and a deluxe sample of Ranavat Brightening Saffron Serum.

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

That's everything I was able to use up this time. Are you doing project pan? I'm thinking of trying that again for next year. Over the next couple of months I'm going to go through all of my beauty products and decide on some items I'm going to actively try to use up.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

 

Summer Book Haul - 2025

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I've recently put myself on a book buying ban until I read more of my physical books. I can quickly get through kindle and audio books, but I've been neglecting my physical copies. So my book hauls may be small for a while (I'm still accepting gifts of books lol). I started my buying ban after I bought a bunch of books though, so here are the books I've picked up over the last few months. Haha!

God of Fury by Rina Kent

 God of War by Rina Kent

 

The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

 

My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher

 

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

 

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare

 

Heaven Breaker by Sara Wolf

 

Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland

 

Dracula by Bram Stoker

 

I know I have two other editions of this book, but this edition is soooo nice! The cover is soft and flexible like a paperback, but a bit thicker like a hardback. Plus, it's beautiful!

 

 

That's all the books I've purchased/received this time! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!
