Random Beauty, Sephora, & Bath & Body Works Haul

Hello, everybody!  Today is an exciting day here...it's my son's first birthday!  I can't believe how fast this year flew by.  He's almost walking!

Anyway, I have a bunch of new products that I've either purchased or have received free for review (I'll let you know which is which).  Almost everything that I received for free came from BzzAgent.  If you've heard of Influenster (which I've talked about a lot here on my blog), BzzAgent is similar.  They'll send you an email with a little questionnaire and determine if you are a good match for the product(s) being sent out.  If you do receive product(s) you just try them out and leave an honest review.  Let's get into the haul!

 L'Oreal Colorista Hair Makeup
This came from BA.  It's a wash-out dye.  I was concerned that this wouldn't even show up in my dark hair - things like this usually don't - but I was pleasantly surprised!  I could actually see it in my hair and it washed out easily.

Botanics All Bright Bi-Phase Facial Oil
This is also from BA.  My skin looks brighter and hydrated when I use this.  The price isn't bad either.  If I remember to do so, I'll be repurchasing this when I run out!

L'Oreal Infallible Matte Lip Crayon in Sweet & Salty
Also from BA.  It's matte but not uncomfortable.  It has a good smell too.

L'Oreal Matte Lip Stain in I Rule
(+ swatches of both lip products - L is lip crayon and R is lip stain)
Again, from BA.  This is okay.  The shade is really nice...until you wipe it off.  The stain is hot pink.  Definitely not something I'll be wearing.

Ofra Cosmetics Northern Lights Primer
 This is also from BA.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  It has small flecks on glitter in it (I'm not a fan of any base products containing glitter) but you can't see them once you apply foundation.  I don't think this made my makeup last longer than the primer I was already using.  Ultimately, this isn't something I'd repurchase.

Kerastase Relaxing Scalp Scrub
Another product from BA.  I only used this once.  It's not that it's bad or doesn't work, but it took a little while to rinse the scrubby bits out of my hair.  My hair isn't even that long and it was more work than I wanted from a shampoo.  Not to mention, this costs $50!  My husband has been using it though.  He has very short hair so it isn't as much of a chore for him to rinse it out.  He also has dry scalp and dandruff and it seems to be helping to hydrate his scalp.

Lancome Juicy Tubes
These also came from BA.  The first is in the shade Birthday Confetti and the second shade is Hallucination.  They're very sticky.  I love the colors, but damn, they're sticky.

Gold Bond Ultimate Neck & Chest Age Defense Cream SPF 20
This came in an Influenster box with a few other non-beauty products.  It sinks into the skin pretty quickly and doesn't feel sticky.  There is definitely an SPF smell to it, but it's not the worst.

Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30
Yet another product from BA.  I've been seeing Dermalogica products all over social media, but I haven't looked them up or tried them out because I was never really interested in them.  I do like this sunscreen though.  It is a little greasy, but it sinks into the skin after a little while and it looks fine under my makeup.  I will not be repurchasing this though.  I didn't realize this line was on the pricey side.  This is $54 for 1.7 oz of product.  I'm good with my Neutrogena sunscreen which is much cheaper.

Native Deodorant in Coconut & Vanilla
I wouldn't normally include hygiene products in hauls (because they're boring lol), but I also don't normally spend $12 on a single stick of deodorant.  I've been considering switching to an aluminum free deodorant, but I heard there is a transition stage where they don't cover up smells as well and I didn't want to deal with that.  However, since we're in quarantine, I can't think of a better time to try out new deodorants since I don't have to worry about anyone possibly smelling me (besides my husband, but whatever lol).  So far so good with this deodorant though!

~Sephora VIB sale haul~
Too Faced Diamond Light Fire Highlighter (LE)
I can't help it.  I'm a sucker for packaging.  Especially red packaging.  The highlight shade is STUNNING.  But if I'm honest, I mostly purchased this for the packaging.  lol

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
I've been wanting to try this for a while now because I have crazy dry lips no matter how much water I drink.  Here's hoping it's worth the money!
  

Ciate London x Jessica Rabbit Collection Compact Mirror
I love the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so I had to get my hands on the pieces in this collection.  I did wait for this to go on sale then also used my extra 15% off.  It's sturdy and heavy, but I hate the facial expression the used for Jessica Rabbit.

Slip Silk Pillowcase Skinny Scrunchies
These better be amazing.  $39 for 6 scrunchies is outrageous, but I'm so tired of my hair falling out with regular hair ties.

Kate Somerville EradiKate
I used some of my VIB points for this sample.  I like KS products but they're so spendy, so I prefer to test out free(ish) samples before I consider purchasing any full size products.

~Bath & Body Works haul~
I haven't been to a B&BW store in many, many years.  The only locations here are in the mall and I haven't been to the mall in AGES!  So I always forget that B&BW even exists.  I saw an ad for them online and I decided I was going to browse their website and place an order.  I totally forgot how much I loved some of their scents.  I had to stop myself from ordering everything.  lol!  They had their single wick candles on sale for 2/$20 and everything else I got was buy 3, get 2 free!

Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance Mist, Shower Gel, Body Cream, and Candle
I used to LOVE this scent!  As you can tell seeing as I bought nearly every product available in this scent.  It has been quite some time since I've smelled this and it is a bit sweeter than I recall.

Twilight Woods Fragrance Mist and Body Cream

Mahogany Teakwood Candle

That's all the new stuff I got recently!  Did you pick up anything during the Sephora VIB sale?

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!
