Collective Beauty Haul

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

Here's what's new!

OPI Nature Strong Nail Polish Duo in Knowledge Is Flower & A Clay In The Life

I was given these free from BzzAgent for review. The shades are really pretty, but these polishes chipped on me so fast! Way faster than usual and I used a base coat and a top coat. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them.

DP Hue Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse

I received this free from Influenster for review. This is okay. You can actually just use one part apple cider vinegar and one part water for an ACV rinse and it does the same thing. I don't think it makes sense to spend $35 on this when you can get the same results with two ingredients that you already have at home.

Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palette in Fantascene

 

I saw this on sale on Sephora's website so I decided to try it out. The shades are beautiful. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but I'm excited to.

Makeup By Mario Glam Quads Eyeshadow Palette

 

This is my first product from this brand. I've heard great things about this, so I wanted to try it out. Again, I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but the shades are really pretty.

Youth To The People Kale + Green Tea Spinach Vitamins Superfood Cleanser

 

This sounds so interesting. When the cleanser I'm currently using runs out I'm going to be trying this.

 

Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream

 

 Again, this sounds nice too. Once my moisturizer is gone I'll be trying this out.

 

La Mer The Hydrating Infused Emulsion

This was free from BzzAgent. It's nice. I don't know that it's something you NEED to have, but it feels nice on the skin and sinks in fairly quickly. It isn't greasy and it smells fine. I'm just not sure it does enough to justify the price.

 

 

ELF Big Mood Mascara

 

This was free for review from Influenster (so are the following three ELF items). This is alright. It definitely lengthened my lashes, but I like volumizing mascaras and this didn't give me as much volume as I'd like.

 

ELF Enhancing Lash & Brow Serum

 

I've been using this for about a week so I haven't seen any changes yet. I'll update you on whether or not this actually works. Fingers crossed that it does!

 

ELF Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in Purple Reign

 

This is really pretty, but I don't typically wear purple shades so I'm going to be giving this one to my mom.

 

ELF Liquid Metallic Eyeshadow in Moon

 

This shade is beautiful! I haven't worn it on my eyes yet, so I don't know if it creases or fades, but I'll let you know.

 

 

Colorstreet Nail Strips in Web of Lies and Jack of All Trades

The spiderweb design is a clear overlay that you can put over any color. The pumpkin one is SUPER CUTE! I can't wait to wear these!

 

 

Wet N Wild Lip Mask & Lip Scrub

These looked really fun so I picked them up from Fred Meyer. I don't typically buy "Halloween" makeup because it's usually colors I don't wear very often. However, these are practical and fun. I don't mind the colors since I won't be wearing these out of my house. lol

 

 

Kiss Special Design Nails

 

I ordered four sets of nails from Kiss's website, but they got lost in the mail for a little bit. Fred Meyer had this single set left so I snatched it up as fast as I could.

 

 

Thankfully my package was found and the sets I ordered showed up! All of their designs for their Halloween collection are really cute. I'm hoping I find more in stores soon.

 

 

Bare Minerals Deluxe Collector's Edition Original Loose Mineral Foundation in Fair 01

 

I received this from BzzAgent. I've used this foundation before and I liked it a lot. This deluxe edition is HUGE! This will last me a very long time. The packaging is really cute too.

 

 

Lancome Teint Idole Foundation

This is a sample from BzzAgent. The shade looks to be a good match. I haven't had a chance to wear this yet, but I'll add a review when I do.

 

 

Tree Hut Green Tea Shea Sugar Scrub

 

This is also from BzzAgent. The scent is light and refreshing, and it exfoliates very well. My skin feels so soft and smooth after using this.

 

 

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

 

 

Halloween Decor Haul

 Hello, all!  How was your weekend?

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. I really enjoy going out shopping for Halloween decor and hunting down amazing pieces.  I've been pretty busy this year, so I haven't been out much unfortunately.  Here's what I have picked up though!

Patchy the Bear from Bellzi

Technically, I ordered this last year. However, they sent it out wayyyy later than they were originally supposed to. I ordered this in October 2020 and didn't receive it until JANUARY! So I couldn't even display him last year.

Bath & Body Works candles and candle accessory

I'm not going to go into detail for these since I put up a separate post for these, but I'm so excited to put these out!

Kitty Vampire Squishmallow

I went to Walgreens in search of the Nightmare Before Christmas Squishmallows but they weren't out yet, BUT I found this guy and couldn't resist! He's adorable.

Magic potion bottle

I believe this was $3 from the Target dollar spot. It also lights up which is cool.

Bat candle holder

Also $3 from the Target dollar spot. There were only two left and I wish I would have grabbed the other one so I could have two of them. I don't know why I only bought one and now I can't find anymore of these. I'm hoping I see just one more!

Orange cloche

Again, $3 from the dollar spot at Target. It's super cute! I'm not sure what I'm going to put inside yet. Any suggestions?

Candy corn dish

I found this at Fred Meyer (Kroger) and thought it was so cute.

Pocketbac Holders from AsylumHandicrafts

 

These hold the Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers. Aren't they adorable? They're from a shop on Etsy. The lady who runs it has A TON of cute items. You can go take a look for yourself here.

 

 Starbucks Halloween Tumblers

 

I know the black studded tumbler isn't "technically" part of their Halloween line, but I'm counting it. LOL I also couldn't resist the lime green studded tumbler or the spiderweb tumbler.

 

Hocus Pocus mug

 

This is from Kirkland's. I had to order off their website because we don't have a Kirkland's where I live. I love this mug so much!

 

Couldron mug

 

This mug is from Fred Meyer (Kroger). I kinda wish it was a matte black, but I still love it!

 

Witch legs wall sign

 

This is something my husband bought for me while he was out shopping. He saw it and thought I would like it. Isn't he the best??

 

Couldron display thing??

 

Honestly I'm not sure what this is called, but I thought it would be perfect for holding little glass bottles filled with "potions".

 

 

The next 5 items are also pieces that my husband picked up for me. He knows my love for Halloween, so if he sees something he thinks I'll like he picks it up for me. Isn't he sweet?!

 

Jack-o-lantern candle holders

 

I wish the mouths on these were better, but they're still super cute.

 

Ghost count down decor

 

I don't have a count down to Halloween decor piece so I'm so excited for this!

 

Bat table top decor

 

I'm really into bats this year, so this is perfect.

 

Hey There Pumpkin wall sign

 

I think this is from Wal-Mart. It's really cute, and I think I'm going to hang it on my front door after Halloween. I currently have a "BOO" sign there that I want to keep up.

 

Spooky Boo table top decor

 

I love the little bat and the ghost in a witch hat on this! I wish it wasn't covered in glitter, but I can probably use a clear spray of some kind to keep it from flaking off.

 

 

Witches Brew votive candles from Yankee Candle

 

I wanted the large jar of this scent, but it had sold out so quickly I wasn't able to order one. I bought two votive size candles instead. I really like this scent and I can't wait to light them.

 

 

Creepy Cloth

 

I always forget to buy creepy cloth! I don't know why I can't remember before they're all sold out, but thankfully I saw this last one passing through the Halloween section at Fred Meyer. Hopefully next year I'll remember to buy more.

 

 

That's all that I had time to pick up this year.  What are some of your favorite Halloween finds this year?

 

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