Spring Empties - 2022

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? It's finally getting hot here (we just had our first 100 degree day of the season) and I'm loving the sunshine! We had our first beach trip of the summer on Saturday and our son had a blast playing in the sand and running through the water.

On to the empties! Here are the products I've used up over these last few months.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Clinical Densifying Foam Conditioner

I'm not a fan of this. The foam texture was weird and it didn't make my hair feel soft at all. The scent is very strong and unfortunately it's not the best smell.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown

 

I love this brow pencil. I will always repurchase this until I find an inexpensive that I love.

Aquaphor Lip Therapy

 

I didn't like this either. The scent (and taste when it gets in your mouth) is just bad and it didn't help with my chapped lips at all. This was very thick and felt gross on my lips too.

Living Proof Intense Moisture Mask

This was nice. The scent was nice, and my hair felt so soft and healthy after using this. I would definitely purchase this.

 

 

 Soap & Glory Clean On Me

 

I really like this body wash. The smell is good, and my skin felt clean but also moisturized.

 

 

One/Size Go Off Juiciest Makeup Remover Wipes

I really wanted to like these so bad. I like the size because they're gigantic, but these were incredibly dry! Which doesn't make sense when they're advertised as "juiciest" makeup remover wipes. I also felt a weird oily residue all over my face after using these. Unfortunately, I won't repurchase these again.

 

Ole Henrickson Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment

I quite enjoyed this. My skin felt so smooth and youthful thanks to this! I would repurchase this in a heartbeat.

 

 

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Ultra Shea Body Cream

I love the smell of this, but I don't think I'll repurchase it any time soon. I just don't feel like it moisturizes my skin enough.

 

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm

This was okay. It's very thick and waxy feeling, but it did help with my chapped lips quite a bit. Unfortunately Bite Beauty is going out of business, so I can't even repurchase this if I wanted to.

 

 

I also used up a 30 oz. tub of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, but it got thrown away before I could get a picture of it.

 

That's everything I was able to use up! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Spring Book Haul - 2022

 Hey, everybody! How was your weekend?

You may have noticed, but I didn't post a winter book haul. My husband was in a car accident in early January (he's fine, thank goodness, but his truck was totaled), and it messed up his shoulder for a little while. We were very busy with doctor and physical therapy appointments on top of car shopping, so I didn't have time or energy to look around for new books. Everything eventually settled down in March, and my husband has been doing great, so I'm back to buying books that I don't have space for! Haha..ha..haaa. Seriously, I have no room to put any more books, but I can't stop myself. Lol Anyway, here's what I purchased recently!

Classic Supernatural Stories (Barnes & Noble Leather Bound Edition)

I just adore these leather bound books from Barnes & Noble and Canterbury Classics. The covers are absolutely stunning and vibrant. This specific book was typically $50+ on Amazon, but I saw it on sale for $35 and there was only one left in stock so, of course, I ordered it.

Classic Tales of Horror (Canterbury Classics Leather Bound)

 

My hubby got this for me as part of my Mother's Day gift. I love a good spooky, scary story so I can't wait to read this!

 

Trisha's Kitchen

 

I've really been into cookbooks lately, so my mom gave me this one as part of my birthday present. I had no idea Trisha Yearwood wrote cookbooks, but there are a lot of delicious looking meals in this! I'm excited to try some of them out.

 

 

That's all I've picked up recently. What are some books you've been wanting to read? I have a huge TBR list, but never enough time. Ugh!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Beauty Haul

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? My birthday was last Monday. Unfortunately, I had to work. However, I did get off at 1:30, so I still had the rest of the day to enjoy with my family.

I can't believe it's summer already! This year is flying by. What are your favorite beauty products to use during the summer? Anyway, here are the beauty products I've picked up and received recently.

Verb Ghost Hair Mask

I saw this on sale on Sephora's website for $10, and since I already have the shampoo and conditioner in this line I figured I'd try it out.

Sol De Janiero Bom Dia Bright Cream

This was a freebie with my Sephora order. I've tried their Bum Bum Cream, but the scent is just too strong for me. Hopefully, this is better!

Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes in Strobe Light

I'm kinda bummed that I spent $25 on this teeny, tiny jar. I thought it was going to be bigger. Here's hoping that it's amazing and makes up for the cost.

Si Passione Eclat Eau De Parfum by Giorgio Armani

I received this complimentary from BzzAgent for review. I love the red bottle because red is my favorite color. I like the scent, but it is a little bit more mature smelling for me. It's not bad, but it isn't something I would go out and purchase either.

These next few items were gifts for my birthday.

Heatless curlers

These are from Amazon, and I am so excited to try these out! I saw someone on Tik Tok use these and the curls are beautiful.

ILNP Nail Polishes in Rainshower and Fairy Floss

 

I love this brand of nail polish. Their holographic polishes are to die for. I'm so glad I get to add these to my collection.

Sigma x Samantha Ravndahl Brush Set

Can you believe I've never purchased a Sigma brush before? I don't know why, but they just never interested me. Then Samantha had to go and create a brush set with them and here I am with my first Sigma brushes.

Practk by Sigma Liner Brush

I don't really have anything to say about this one, but the handle is pretty cute.

Sigma Disney Princess Cinderella Lip Duo in Magical Lip Gloss and Dreamy Liquid Lipstick

 

These are beautiful lip colors that look amazing together!

 Sigma F28 Powder/Bronzer Brush

 

I've heard great things about this brush, so I'm kinda excited to use it.

 

Tula Skincare 24/7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream

This was my free birthday gift from Ulta this year.

 

I ordered a few things from Sephora (again, I know) and scored some freebie there too!

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$y

I had to double check that this wasn't the exact same shade as Fenty Glow. They are very similar, but this gloss is pink toned while Fenty Glow has a brown tone. I for sure thought they were the same color at first though!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sarafine

Can you also believe that I've never purchased an ABH liquid lipstick before? Lol, idk why but I just never got around to it. I love a blue toned red, so I decided to get this shade.

SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence

This was a free offer with purchase. I've used this before and really like it, but the full size bottle is just so expensive.

Tatcha Trio

This was the free birthday gift I chose from Sephora this year.

  

That's all for now! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
