New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? We had my SIL's drive by baby shower at my house yesterday. It was sunny and beautiful all week last week and then it rained yesterday. *sigh* Aside from the rain, the baby shower was a success. Somehow though, my SIL didn't receive ANY baby clothes or baby blankets! I typically avoid those items since they're the items that are gifted the most. Apparently everyone else had the same thought, so I'm going out this weekend to buy a blanket and a bunch of baby clothes for her.

There's that! Now, here are the new products I've bought and received recently.

Verb Ghost Shampoo & Conditioner Set

I received two samples of these and I really liked them. I don't love the price, but my hair feels and looks so nice since I've been using these.

Color Street in Love Letters & Heart of the Matter

Somehow I didn't have any Valentine's Day sets?? So I ordered these two from my friend.


Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream sample

I've heard good things about this, but I wanted to try out a sample first before committing to purchasing the full size.


Buxom Power-Full Lip Scrub in Sweet Guava

I received this free from BzzAgent for review. This was a let down. It's very waxy and the scrubby bits are few and far between so it doesn't feel like it scrubs your lips at all. They also market this as "fruity" but there is almost no fruity scent at all. Save your money.


Color Street in My Lucky Charm and Wonder-Mint

I also realized that I didn't have any St. Patrick's Day sets so I made sure to get a couple in before the 17th.
 

I noticed that there were a lot of items on my Sephora wishlist that were on sale this month, so I ordered what was still in stock while they were on sale. There was one more product on sale that I wanted, but it was out of stock (and still is). The Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Metal Moon is regularly $38 but was on sale for only $12! It still shows it's on sale, so hopefully it comes back in stock and I can order it ASAP. Anyway, here's what I did get:
 
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Diamond Milk (Retail $20 on sale for $13)

I love these lip glosses, so of course I picked this one up since it was on sale.
 

KVD Beauty Everlasting Longwear Liquid Lipstick in Mother (Retail $21 on sale for $15)

I love these liquid lipsticks, but I don't like paying full price for them. lol
 

Violet Voss HG Pro Eyeshadow Palette (Retail $45 on sale for $31)

I've been wanting this palette for a while, but I couldn't get myself to actually order it. Since it was on sale, it was much easier for me to click "add to basket". The shades are beautiful and perfect for everyday looks.
 

One/Size Go Off Makeup Remover Wipes (Retail $15 on sale for $7.50)

These wipes are HUGE! I've been wanting to try them out so I figured picking them up while they were on sale was a good time to do so.
 

Disney Minnie Mouse Lip Balm
 
I saw this at Fred Meyer and couldn't pass it up because it was so cute.
 

Bare Minerals Maximist Liquid Eyeliner in Maximum Black

I received this complimentary from BzzAgent for review. This went on so easily and smooth. It's a really deep black which I prefer. The thin brush made closely lining my eyes and adding a small flick of a wing super easy to do. I would recommend this liner.
 

Revlon So Fierce! Eyes Wide Open Mascara and Ultra HD Snap! Nail Polish

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for review. I don't like either of these. The mascara wand is weirdly shaped and it clumped up my lashes pretty bad. The nail polish is not a color I would ever buy for myself and it was very streaky. I wouldn't recommend either of these.
 
 
 
That's everything new for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome week!

Small Valentine's Day & Easter Decor Haul

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I wasn't able to find much Valentine's Day decor this year. I definitely waited too long to check out Hobby Lobby, but even my local Target didn't have very much. Were you able to find much Valentine's Day decor?

Here's the Valentine's Day decor I did find:

Heart Vase Filler

This was from the brand Threshold at Target.


Valentine's Day Truck Tabletop Decor
 
This cute little truck was from Hobby Lobby.


Black & White Heart Vase Filler
 
Also from Hobby Lobby. I'm not sure what I'll do with these yet, but I'm sure I'll find somewhere to put them.


Heart Wall Decor
 
This is also from Hobby Lobby. I have a hook on my front door, so that's where I decided to hang this.


Tin Heart Plate
 
I found this at Fred Meyer (Kroger) and I used it for a Valentine's Day treat platter.
 
 
"I Love You" Wall Decor
 
This was also from Fred Meyer. I didn't see it before Valentine's Day, but I found it today for 70% off. I thought it was really cute and sweet so I picked it up to use for next year.
 

Heart Mug
 
I saw this at Marshall's and really liked it. My favorite color is red, so of course I had to get it. I like the simple but festive design.
 

Rae Dunn "Love Bug" Mug
 
I'm not a big Rae Dunn fan, but this pink mug was perfect for Valentine's Day, so I got it. I don't think I'll buy any more. The top is a weird shape so it's kind of awkward to drink out of.
 
 

That's all I could find for Valentine's Day decor (that I liked)! Here's what I picked up so far for Easter:

Carrot Vase Filler

This and the next two items are all from Hobby Lobby. I just thought these were really cute so I picked them up.


Bunny Name Tag Holder
 
I don't plan on using this for a name tag, but this is the perfect size for a tiered tray.
 

Bunny Tabletop Decor
 
How adorable is this?! I can't wait to display it on my mantle.
 

Spritz Crocheted Easter Garland
 
I saw this (or something very similar) online at Target last year and I was so bummed when it was already sold out when I went looking for it. I'm glad I found one this year!
 

Wilton Carrot Whisk
 
This is something else I regretted not purchasing last year. It's adorable and inexpensive, so when I saw it at Target this year I snatched it up so fast!
 

 Green Rabbits
 
These are all from the Target Dollar Spot. You can't have too much bunny decor for Easter.


White Ceramic Rabbit
 
I can't remember if this is from Target or Hobby Lobby. Either way, it was so sweet and I couldn't pass it up.


Bunny Wreath
 
I saw this at Hobby Lobby and just had to have it! It's so cute, and I can't wait to hang it up on my front door.


That's all I picked up so far for Easter. Have you found any cute Easter decor yet?
 
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
