Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

For the very last installment of my MMC series, I have all of my perfumes and body sprays to show you.  If you've been around for a while, you'll know that I've been slowly trying to use up all of my old body sprays.  I don't have too many left now (woohoo!) so I eventually want to start using up some of my perfumes - mainly the oldest ones.  Anyway, here they are!

High End Perfumes
Clinique "Happy Heart", Juicy Couture "Couture Couture", and Vera Wang "Princess"


Samples
For next year's Project Empty Challenge I want to use up ALL of these samples!  They're currently just sitting in a drawer in my bathroom taking up space.

My Makeup Collection 2018: Haircare

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I have all of my hair care products to show you this week.  Honestly, hair isn't my favorite beauty aspect, but somehow I have quite a bit of hair care products.  This list doesn't include shampoo and conditioner because I change up my shampoo a lot and I don't typically use conditioner.


Hair oils
Now Solutions Castor Oil, L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil, Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter, Lio Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Eva NYC Hungry Hair Oil Treatment, Theorie Marula Oil Transforming Hair Serum, Pure Brazilian Shine Ultra Light Nourishing Oil, and PYT Argan Oil


Hair spray
Dove Hair Therapy Style + Care Extra Hold Hairspray


Dry shampoo
Batiste Divine Dark and Floral & Flirty Blush


Leave in treatments
Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Split End Mender, Garnier Fructis 10-In-1 Leave In Spray, Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave In Conditioning Cream, and It's A 10 Miracle Leave In Product


Texturizers
Eva NYC Zero Gravity Volume Powder and Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray


Deep conditioners
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask x 2, and Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco Deep Hydrating Conditioning Treatment


Serums

Heat protectors
Briogeo Rosarco Blow Dry Perfection & Heat Protectant Creme and Garnier Fructis Full & Plush Voluptuous Blow Out Blow Dry Bodifying Treatment


That's everything!  I actually threw out an old texturizing product while I was going through all of my hair products, and I have another It's A 10 leave in treatment coming in the mail (eventually - they were giving them away for free on their website back in March-April and mine still hasn't been shipped lol).

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

L'Oreal True Match Concealer

Hello, everyone!  How was your Independence Day?  David and I had my parents over for a BBQ which was nice.  :)

Anyway!  I received a new L'Oreal True Match concealer complimentary from BzzAgent to try out and review.  They didn't have any of my shade left, so I was given the shade dark to test out.  Since this is obviously way too dark for me to use under my eyes, I wanted to try using this for cream contouring instead.  As it turns out, this shade is far too warm for me to contour with, so I used it as a cream bronzer.  lol  I applied it on my cheeks, along either side of my nose, my temples, and my jaw line.


Before bronzing


After bronzing - no other products or powder


Full face - no powder bronzer on top


*I don't think the pictures do it justice.  You could see it a lot better in person.*
 First of all, I'm not at all a fan of the sponge tip applicator.  I wish it was just a brush or a doe foot applicator.  Otherwise, this worked out well for me as a toned down, natural looking bronzer.  I definitely agree that it's super blendable.  It took very little effort on my part to blend it.  It is still a bit too far on the warm side for my liking, but it still looks fine on me.

Have you tried this product?  What are your thoughts on it?

I hope you have a great weekend.  Thank you for stopping by!
