New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?  Mine has been busy and hectic.  My son's second birthday is tomorrow *cries* and I've been preparing for his party on Sunday.  It's crazy how fast these two years have flown by!

Anyway!  Here are all of the new products I've been trying out!

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal L'Eau De Parfum - $100.00

This was sent to me from BzzAgent.  The bottle is beautiful.  It's hard to see in the photo, but it's iridescent.  I really like the scent of this too.  It's fresh and fruity, and a little goes a long way.  I only use one spray, anything more is overpowering.


Amika Hair Straightener
My SIL gave this to me since she wasn't using it.  It came in a FabFitFun box.  The straightener that I have is a mini, travel size and it's not rounded like this one.  I'll be giving away my old one since I prefer rounded straighteners (so I can also curl my hair with it).
 
 
Lancome Clarifique Refining Brightening Dual Essence - $95.00
This is another product to review from BzzAgent.  It sinks into the skin quickly, and it seems to make my serums work better.  The bottle is huge, so you get quite a bit of product.  The price tag is also huge.
 

 
Color Street Nail Polish Strips in Sakura Festival and Dark Magic - $13.00 each
I've actually been using Color Street for a year now, but I always forget to add them into my beauty hauls.  These two are unfortunately retired designs, but my friend sells CS so she was able to track them down.  I love that they're super easy to apply and you don't have to wait for them to dry.  The directions say that you don't need to apply a base coat or a top coat, but I've noticed that when I don't at least use a top coat they chip fairly quickly.
 
 
Covergirl Clean Fresh Lip Tint in Pink-ture Perfect $9.99
Again, this is from BzzAgent.  The formula is thin and not at all sticky.  This shade is very light, so light that I don't really notice any color on my lips at all.  I don't think this is worth $10.  Maybe if it was in a different shade (one that actually shows up) that would be a different story.  But as for this shade specifically, you might as well wear a regular chapstick.
 

Marc Jacobs Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator in Spotlight - $29.00
I picked this up during the Sephora VIB sale recently.  I've been eyeing it since it came out, but I couldn't seem to get myself to shell out $42.00 for it.  However, it was on sale and I had the additional 15% off discount, so I finally got it!
 

 

 
Becca Cosmetics Sunlit Bronzer in Bali Sands - $38.00
This is also from Sephora.  I was deeply saddened to hear that Becca is going out of business.  I really love their highlighters, so I figured I better order the products I love/want to try out while I can.  I haven't tried this bronzer before, but I've heard great things about it.  I can't wait to wear it!
 




Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retnoid Serum
This was a 100 point sample from Sephora.  Sunday Riley is very expensive, so I like to try out deluxe samples of their products first to see if I will like them.  I haven't had a chance to use this yet, but I'll come back to leave an update.
 
 
That's everything for now!  Thank you so much for stopping by!
