New Beauty Products - I know, I know..

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I have acquired some new beauty products. I know I recently said I didn't need to buy anything for a very long time, but I had some money left in my HSA account that I was going to lose if I didn't use it, so I ordered some skincare products with that. I also still receive items through BzzAgent and Influenster for review. The Kitsch products were actually in my stocking for Christmas, but for some reason I forgot to put them in my last beauty haul. Anyway, here's what's new for me:

Kitsch Nylon Hair Elastics

Kitsch Exfoliating Glove

 

To be fair, I don't have one of these... 

Kitsch Satin Scrunchie 5 Pack

Z-Sea Neck Cream

 

This and the next 6 products were bought with my HSA card. 

Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash

Differin Gel

Coola Lip Lux Tinted Lip Balm

Coola Mineral Lip Trio

Foreo Kiwi Acitve Pore & Blackhead Mask

Revive Light Therapy Sonique Mini

Josie Maran Travel Size Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Bohemian Fig

 

This was free for review from Influenster. I don't like this scent. It's very earthy, like a straight up dirt smell. 

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum

 

This was also free from Influenster for review. I like the consistency and how quickly it sinks into the skin, but it has a soapy smell that I don't love. 

ELF Holy Hydration Face Cream, PLZ Clarify Facial Oil, and Stick it to Zits Pimple Patches

 

These three products were also sent to me for review from Influenster. The facial oil smells terrible! 

Dove Crushed Cherries & Chia Milk Body Scrub, Body Wash, & Beauty Bars

 

I purchased these items literally only because I decided one day that I want to smell like cherries. That's it. That's why I bought these. I have nothing to say for myself. 

Goody x Lee Ouchless Satin Scrunchies 5 Pack

 

This is another free product for review from Influenster. These are fine. They perform the same as any other satin scrunchie. 

 

 

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Cleansing Wipes

 

These wipes and the acne wash (below) I bought with my HSA card. 

 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

 

Dove Palo Santo & Sage Antiperspirant & Deodorant

 

This was sent to me for free for review from Influenster. The scent is really nice, and it lasts all day. 

 

Well People Expressionist Curling Mascara

 

This is another free for review product sent to me from Influenster. It's okay. It does curl my lashes nicely, but it's a bit clumpy so I have to go in with my lash comb to separate my lashes. 

 

Herbal Essences Rose Hips Shampoo & Conditioner

 

Influenster sent me the shampoo to review, but I like having matching sets when it comes to shampoo and conditioner, so I purchased the conditioner. This scent is so nostalgic for me. I used to use this back in high school.

 

Onyx Pedi Please Quick Peel Foot Mask

 

Influenster sent this product to me for free for review.

 

 

Soapbox Flexible Hold Hairspray

 

This was also free from Influenster for review. 

 

Soap & Glory Heel Genius

 

I'm almost out of this and I LOVE this foot cream! 

 

Burt's Bees Rescue Lip Relief

 

I haven't tried this before, and I wanted to try it out. 

 

 

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

 

I used up the bottle I had, so I repurchased it. 

 

Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment

 

This was on my wishlist and it was on sale, so I bought it at the same time. 

 

Tatcha The Longevity Memory Cream

 

This was free with purchase. 

 

Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Mousse

 

I haven't bought mousse in years, so I wanted to try to have one to try out again. 

 

De La Cruz Acne Treatment with Sulfur

 

I'm willing to try anything at this point. 

 

 

Aussie Ultra Wonder Heat Protectant and Detangler

 

This was also sent to me from Influenster for review. It smells great. 

 

 

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

 

Beauty Products Declutter - 2026

 Hi, everyone! How has the New Year been treating you so far?

I'm trying to be more mindful of my spending and hoarding habits this year. I don't need to purchase any new beauty products for a long time. I also really needed to go through all of my products and get rid of items that have gone bad or that I know I will never use. 

Here are all the products I'm giving away or throwing away.

These are the eyeshadow pallets I'm decluttering. 

These are the random eye products and face products I don't reach for.

I'm so ashamed to admit that I bought each and every one of these that I could find. And I never even used them! I kept like 6 of my favorite characters, but the rest I'm throwing out! I do love them, but like I said I never use them and they're so bulky they take up almost an entire drawer by themselves!

These are the other lip products I'm decluttering.

And these are the hair products that I'm getting rid of because I know I won't use them.

That's everything that I'm getting rid of (for now)! This feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders! I'm also going to try harder to go through the products that I still have in excess.

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

 

New in Beauty!

 Hello, everyone! I hope you had a happy New Year!

Here's everything new I received/bought. Most of these items were either sent to me from Influenster for review or they were given to me as Christmas presents. I've been trying to spend less money on beauty products. I probably shouldn't spend ANY more money on beauty items tbh.

Pacifica Glow Baby Resurfacing Enzyme Scrub ($15.00)

I've heard good things about this product so I wanted to give it a go. I bought this on sale for like $7-ish. Let me know if you've tried it and had good results! 

Laneige Minty Lip Duo ($24.00)

 

I like this brand of lip products and it was on sale, so that's why I bought it. It smells so good! 

Fresh Sugar Lip Balm Hydrating Treatment in Icon ($26.00)

 

I bought this while it was on sale too. I like these lip balms as well. Not that I need any more. 

Tatcha The Dewy Milk Moisturizer Deluxe Sample

 

This was a free with purchase item. I think I've tried this before, but I can't remember. 

Kitsch Medium Cloud Flat Claw Clip in the color Hydrangea Breeze ($9.00)

 

I wanted to try a flat claw clip, and this one was in a pretty color. I really like it! I want to buy more, but I'm trying to hold back. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown ($26.00)

 

I bought this on sale as well. I believe it was $18-$19. The brow pencil I have is getting low so I figured it was a good idea to restock while it was on sale. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Sculpt Length & Volume Mascara Deluxe Sample

 

This was another free with purchase item. I'm going to add this to my mascara stash. Thankfully, I don't need anymore mascara for a long time. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Iced Out Illuminating Powder in Iced Out ($34.00)

 

I love a bright, glowy highlighter! I've been dying to get my hands on this, and it seemed like a good time to buy it while it was on sale. It was under $24.00 on sale!

Kerastase Genesis Heat Protecting Leave In Treatment ($50.00)

 

This was free from Influenster for review. 

Kerastase Genesis Strengthening Hair Mask ($68.00)

 

This was also free from Influenster for review. 

Milani Baked Blush ($10.99)

 

This is another free item from Influenster for review. 

Bath & Body Works A Toast to You Body Lotion ($16.95)

 

This is again, free from Influenster for review. 

NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Snatch Loose Setting Powder ($12.00)

 

Again, this was free from Influenster for review. 

Elizabeth Arden Visible Brightening Clearly Radiant Spot Correcting Capsules ($56.00)

 

This is the last item that was sent to me free from Influenster for review. 

Dyson Hair Dryer ($549.99)

 

My husband is the absolute sweetest person on the planet, and he bought this for me for Christmas! I've been hoping they would come out with a red version again and they finally did! 

Bath & Body Works Gingham Gorgeous Gift Set

 

This and the next gift set were part of my secret Santa gift from work. My secret Santa did so good! These products smell so good. She also gave me a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and a gift card to Java Crew (my favorite local coffee shop). 

Bath & Body Works Champagne Toast Lip Gift Set

Scunci Claw Clips

 

This was in my stocking. I love claw clips of all sizes, so I'll definitely get some use from these. 

 

Lip Smacker Lip Balm in Tiki Tangerine

 

This was also in my stocking. I love lip balm (as I'm sure you can deduce from all of my beauty haul posts) so I'll use this eventually.

 

Sweet & Shimmer Highlighter Stick

 

This was also in my stocking. I don't know what brand this is, but I love highlighter, so I'll give it a try. 

 

 

That's everything I bought/was given. I'm going on a makeup/beauty buying ban for 2026 because I genuinely won't need anything for a long time.

 

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