Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?  Things have been a bit crazy around here.  I had to have surgery at the beginning of May to have my gallbladder removed, and my husband just had knee surgery on Tuesday and will be on bed rest for at least the next 4 weeks.

On to the haul...I got a few things for my birthday at the beginning of the month.  This is all the makeup and beauty products that I received.  I'm pretty excited to try everything out!

NARS Afterglow Eyeshadow Palette


Sephora birthday gift - Briogeo Duo


Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer in Light


Wet N Wild Hello Halo in Highlight Bling


ILNP in Cherry Luxe


That's everything!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

Spring Empties - 2020

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

Now that my son is getting older and more independent, I've had a little more time to spend on self care and even putting on makeup now and then.  As a result, I finally finished off some base products that I've been working on for ages.  lol  Here are the products I used up during the Spring.

Ahava Mineral Hand Cream
I love this stuff!  I received another one for Christmas, but I will definitely repurchase this again!


Victoria's Secret Dream Fragrance Mist
Since I used up all of my samples and travel size perfumes last year, I'm actively working on using up frangrance mists and body sprays that I've had for a long time.  This one is okay.  Not a scent I love though.


Tarte Maracuja Oil
I won't purchase a full size of this.  The greasy feeling lasted too long after applying.  I wasn't a fan of the smell of it either.


Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil
I also won't purchase a full size of this too.  I guess I'm not into face oils lately.


Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder
To be far, I accidentally dropped this and about half of it spilled out.  This lasted SO LONG though.  I won't repurchase this though.  It says it smooths out lines and pores, but it made mine more pronounced and made my skin look so dry and aged.

  
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer
This is okay but it's not my favorite.  I'll stick to my Urban Decay Primer Potion.



Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer
I sometimes repurchase this but I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites.  I'm absolutely not a fan of the scent though.  I'll probably repurchase this in the future but I still prefer the FAB Ultra Repair Cream.



Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure Face Primer
This blurred my imperfections a bit, but I feel like it makes my foundation slip around.



Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream
This was nice!  I loved how it felt on my skin and how it made my eye area look.  It's a damn shame that it's so expensive though.  I don't know if I'll purchase the full size because of that reason.


Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel
Eh.  Not my favorite cleanser, but it did smell really good.

  

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer
I liked this well enough.  I'm a big fan of the regular Ultra Repair Cream.



Suave Sea Salt & Eucalyptus Exfoliating Body Scrub
I liked this body scrub.  The scent is pretty earthy, but it's not bad.  I'm interested in trying this product out in different scents.



That's everything I was able to use up these last few months.  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week!
