New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone!  I hope any of you who celebrates Christmas had a wonderful day.

I have another collective beauty haul to share.  The first 7 products in this list are from the winter 2020 FabFitFun box.  My SIL asked me to renew my subscription so she could get the few items from the box that she wanted and then let me keep the rest of it.  (She also renewed her own subscription for this season's box, but she needed 2 of the blankets and that's why she also asked me.)  Anyway, here are the products that I've gotten recently.

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Purifying Cleanser

Phase Zero Making Moves Blusher

Paradox LA Lucky Stars Blemish Patches

Daily Concepts Daily Facial Dry Brush

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator

Tula Skincare Glow & Get It Cooling and Brightening Eye Balm

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Holiday 2020 Edition

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Macaron Lip Balm

Dr. Teal's Relax & Relief Set

 

 

Lancome Idole L'Intense

That's everything for now!  Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a fun and safe New Year's!

 

Fall Empties - 2020

 Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  Who's excited for Christmas?!  I think we all need some holiday cheer in our lives right now.

As usual, I don't have too many items to share with you, but here are the products I've used up these past few months.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

I have repurchased this lotion so many times.  I really like it because it's not overly scented and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy for hours after applying.

Glam Glow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow

 

This was okay.  If you're wearing it alone (not under makeup) it makes your skin look VERY shiny!  My hands definitely had glitter all over them but I couldn't really see the glitter on my face.  It is also highly scented.  The scent isn't bad, but I can still smell it on my face hours later and I'm not a fan of that.

Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water

 

I really like this stuff!  I don't know what's in this to make it remove every ounce of makeup, but it's incredible.  I will absolutely be repurchasing a full size of this!

 

 

Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner

This was fine.  It could be a darker black, but it isn't awful.  I don't particularly like felt tip liners, so this isn't an eyeliner that I will repurchase.

 

Victoria's Secret Amber Romance Body Lotion

 

This scent is nice.  I'm not sure it does too much in the way of moisturizing though.  No matter how many times I applied it, it didn't seem to make my hands feel any softer.

 

Tula Skincare Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pad

These are quite interesting.  One side of the pad is white and contains the fibers and serum that you rub over your face and the other side is blue and exfoliates your skin.  My skin did feel really soft after I used this though.

 

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

I'm really glad I used some of my Sephora points for this instead of buying a full size container.  I'm pretty sure this broke me out.  After I incorporated this into my skincare routine I began to get little whiteheads all over my face.  Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this.

 

L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks - Charcoal, Red Algea, and Eucalyptus

It took me a very long time to use these up.  They've been sitting in my bathroom for quite a while so I've been multi-masking with all three of these a lot lately.  My skin does look good right after using these, but I haven't seen any long term benefits.  I'm also not a huge fan of masks that dry down on your skin.  I prefer more moisturizing masks, so I won't be repurchasing any of these.

Those are all the products I used up over the last few months!

 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing holiday!

 

 

Collective Beauty Haul

 Hello, everybody!  How was your weekend?

I have some new products that I wanted to show you. Some were sent to me and others I had purchased.

StriVectin Advanced Resurfacing Daily Reveal Exfoliating Pads - $45

These were sent to me from Influenster.  They work great but they're a little too spendy for me (for what they are) to consider repurchasing.

Origins Ginzing Into The Glow Brightening Serum - $44

This was sent to me from BzzAgent.  It smells good and my skin does look brighter after I use it.  I'm on the fence on repurchasing this though.  I'm not sure it does enough for my skin for me to buy it again.

Wet Brush x Disney Princess Belle Brush - $9

I couldn't help it, I had to buy another one. lol I might need to collect them all.

Too Faced Cinnamon Bear Makeup Set - $39

I bought this during the Sephora VIB sale.  My favorite color is red, so I couldn't resist this set.  This includes a red makeup bag with cinnamon bears on it, a Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Cinnamon Bear, and an eye and blush palette.

 

 

That's everything new for me this time!  Did you pick up anything from the Sephora VIB sale?

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

Summer Empties - 2020

Hello, everyone!   How was your weekend?  My husband and I spent our weekend deep cleaning, rearranging our home, and going through our stuff.  Just by rearranging we made so much room in our living room.  We got rid of quite a bit as well as donated a lot of items that we were no longer using.  I always feel so relived after doing a deep clean and purge.

Anyway, who else is sad that summer is over?  Because of the pandemic we've only done one summer activity this season and now it's over!  Okay, here's everything I used up during the summertime! 

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

Native Coconut & Vanilla Deodorant

Verb Ghost Hair Mask

Sunday Riley Saturn Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask

Primera Miracle Seed Essence

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet

Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream

Noxema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream

That's everything I was able to use up!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!

New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?  Its been crazy here in Oregon.  We had terrible wildfires that thankfully didn't get too close to us, but its been very smoky here and the air quality has been hazardous.  And tonight we're supposed to have severe storm weather.  I don't even know what to say about 2020 anymore.

Anyway!  I've received and bought some new products that I wanted to show you.

BeautyCounter Counter+ All Bright Serum

This came from Influenster.  I like this serum.  It's lightweight and makes my skin feel soft and smooth.  The scent isn't bad either.  It is a bit pricey though at $79.00.

BeautyCounter Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel

 

This is also from Influenster.  Again, this formula is lightweight, but I didn't notice a difference in my skin with this.  And at $63.00, this isn't something I would repurchase.

Kerastase Huile de Parfum sample

 

I received this from BzzAgent and it came as two samples.  This is a hair perfume oil.  The oil is lightweight and won't make your hair look greasy if you use a small amount (which is all you need anyway).  It smells nice, but it doesn't last for more than an hour or two.  I usually just spray whichever perfume I'm wearing in my hair as it's faster and easier.  Not to mention, the full size of this is $72.00 which I don't think is worth it.

Tony Moly I'm Lavender Lullaby Sleeping Mask

 

This I also received from BzzAgent.  It obviously smells like lavender but it's not super strong and overpowering.  This felt great on my skin, but I don't know that it did very much for me.

Tony Moly Panda's Dream Rose Hyaluronic Face Cream samples

I received these with the TM mask.  This cream is nice, but not nice enough for me to switch out my favorite moisturizer.

Wet Brush x Disney Princess - Ariel

 

I've heard people raving about Wet brushes for so long but I always thought it was a gimicky product.  I really like the Disney princess brushes though so I broke down and bought one.  This actually works!  It didn't pull on my wet hair at all.  I might go buy the rest of the Disney princess collection.  lol

 

L'Oreal True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer

 

I received this from BzzAgent and I chose the lightest shade in the neutral undertones and this is a bit too dark for me.  It's lightweight and I wouldn't call this full coverage.  This creased on me SO BAD.  Even after setting with a powder I was a creasy cakey mess.  I won't be repurchasing this.

 

Lancome Absolue Repairing Bi-Ampoule

 

This is another product sent to me from BzzAgent.  This serum is SO NICE.  It's lightweight and a little goes a long way.  I noticed a difference in my skin instantly.  My face felt softer and smoother, but also firmer.  The only thing I hate about this is the price.  This retails for $150.00 for only .4 oz of product.  I wouldn't be able to justify repurchasing this especially now that I have a child.  I would feel so guilty spending so much money on a serum.

 

Covergirl Clean Liquid Foundation

 

I'm still trying out foundations to find my holy grail.  I decided to pick this up from Walmart last week.  I used to use a foundation from Covergirl in high school (I think it was this one but the bottle has been changed?) and I wanted to try it out again to see how it looks on me now.

 

 

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