Autumn Empties - 2018

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?

Here are the products I used up during the fall months.

Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
This is not my favorite eye primer.  It didn't make my shadows stay vibrant all day and my eyeshadow still creased on me.  The main reason I use a primer is to keep my eyeshadow from creasing.  If I receive more free samples of this I'm going to give them away.  I certainly won't purchase a full size either.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I really like this body lotion.  I've already repurchased another one.  It's not too thick, so it sinks into the skin quicker than others.

Noxema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream
This is my go-to drugstore facial cleanser.  I prefer the First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Facial Cleanser, but this one is a portion of the price and works just fine for my skin.

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Sheet Mask
This is my favorite Tony Moly sheet mask.  My skin feels so soft and hydrated after I use this.  I can also see a difference in my pores which is my biggest skincare concern.

Pure Anti-Aging Creme
This was okay.  It's quite thick but I didn't notice any differences in my skin after using it.

Pond's Evening Soothe Cleansing Wipes
I use these all the time, but I finally tried out the Neutrogena wipes and I think I like those ones more.  I'm not sure if I'll repurchase these wipes anymore.  I think I'm going to stick to the Neutrogena wipes instead.

That's everything I used up!  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Victoria's Secret Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

Before I get into the haul, I wanted to share some more exciting news.  We had our 20 week ultrasound done last Wednesday and we learned that we are having a boy!  His name is going to be Noah Scott Stahl.  I've loved the name Noah since I was a teenager, so I was ecstatic when my husband agreed on it.  We chose Scott for the middle name because it's my husband's father's name.  *Check out these little boots!  Aren't they the cutest?!*

On to the haul!  I mentioned quite a long time ago that I wanted to post more than just makeup on my blog.  I haven't actually gotten around to doing so until now, so I here's a VS haul.  I ended up making three separate orders online these past few weeks.

VS Haul Round 1:
For Black Friday, I only shopped at one place and it was online.  lol!  I never go out shopping in stores on Black Friday because I hate dealing with the crowds and rude people, so I only ever shop online for deals.  I honestly wasn't planning on doing any Black Friday shopping at all this year since we've been spending quite a bit of money on baby items these past few weeks, but I spontaneously decided to check out the Victoria's Secret website and I scored some amazing deals!  I love that VS allows us to use up to three coupon codes per order because I used three and saved a bunch of money.  VS sent out some coupons in the mail earlier in the week of Thanksgiving and I was able to use one of those as well.  One of VS Black Friday deals was the BOGO free coupon code on sleepwear and lingerie, so I ordered two pairs of pajama bottoms for the price of one!  For the coupon, I applied the two pairs of panties for free with any purchase.  I chose some "granny panties" since I'm currently pregnant.  *This may be TMI for some, but these past few weeks I've been needing to wear a panty liner everyday due to discharge and that's a little hard to do while wearing a thong.  lol!*  Naturally, I was $5.50 away from being able to use the free shipping on $50.00 or more code, but the body sprays and lotions were on sale for only $6.00 so I added one to my cart to get free shipping.  If I had paid full price for everything I got I would have spent $123.00, but thanks to all of the sales and coupon codes I only spent $50.50!  On top of that, VS was giving away $20.00 gift cards on purchases on $40.00 or more which came in handy when I went to redeem the other coupons I still had.

VS Haul Round 2:
 I received my first order in the mail along with my $20.00 off a purchase of $50.00 or more card.  I had to make two separate orders on the same day in order to get the most out of the coupons I had.  The $20.00 off card couldn't be used with any of the other coupons that I had.  *UGH!*  So my first order was two bras.  I've noticed lately that my current bras aren't quite enough to keep me covered anymore.  I ordered these bras in a cup size up from what I normally buy.  Both were on sale for only $25.00 each - originally $39.50 each.  Including shipping, I paid $38.00 for two bras which would have cost me $79.00 at regular price (not including shipping).  The second order I made was for a pajama set that was on sale for $39.50 - originally $59.50.  I had a $10.00 off a purchase coupon that I was able to use which brought it down to $29.50!  There was also a code for a free pair of slippers with purchase of a pj set, so I added that to my cart as well.  I also had another free panty coupon that I used - yes, another pair of "granny panties" lmao!  Including shipping, I paid $37.50 for this order.  Not including shipping, this would have cost me $99.50 at full prices!

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