New Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend? We're finally feeling better around here. We caught covid for the first time at the beginning of the month. Thankfully, my son was only ill for 2 days, and my husband was mildly ill for about a week mostly with body aches and a headache. Unfortunately, I was miserable for a solid 2 weeks. That was the sickest I have ever been. Then, a week after I finally started feeling better, I got a tooth infection! Which, of course, didn't start hurting until Friday night after my dentist office closed, so I had to deal with the pain the entire weekend. It has been a rough month for sure, but I'm happy to say that we are all feeling fine now!

Anyway, on to the beauty stuff! Here are all of the new beauty products I picked up/received recently.

~Bath & Body Works Order~

Whipped Rose & Vanilla Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

I haven't seen this scent before, so I wanted to give it a try. It smells really good! I may go back for the body wash as well.


Blackberry & Basil Ultimate Hydration Body Cream
 
This is also a scent I haven't seen before. I thought it would smell divine, and I was right! I'm so glad I ordered the body wash to go with it.
 

Blackberry & Basil Shower Gel

Smells just as good as the body lotion!


Midnight Amber Glow Hand Cream

I got this because I wanted a small hand cream to keep in my purse. All of my other lotions and creams are in big tubes that take up a lot of space.

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Balm in Strawberry

I received this from BzzAgent for review. This is nice enough. It's thick and really helps hydrate my cracked, chapped lips. The only con is that it's REALLY thick and it doesn't really sink into the lips for quite a while. Because of that, I only use this at night.


Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh

I needed a new dry shampoo, and I like this brand.


Biore The Original Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

I have so many blackheads on my nose, and I hate them. Here's hoping this helps!


Flower Beauty Flower Pots Powder Blush in Sweet Pea

I don't have a lot of products from this brand, so I wanted to pick up some more. This blush looks nice, and I can't wait to try it out.


Flower Beauty Petal Pout Lip Scrub

I was in need of a new lip scrub, so I decided to try this one.


MAC Luster Glass Sheer Shine Lipstick in Put A Bow On It

The packaging! The color! Yes to all of it!

 

That's everything new that I picked up! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic week!

Another Beauty Haul/Beauty Products I Got For Christmas

 Hello, everyone! How was your Christmas and New Year?

I took a much needed four day weekend over the Christmas weekend. It was so nice to just relax and spend quality time with both sides of our family. We spent Christmas Eve at my SIL's for dinner with my husband's side of the family, and then we had Christmas brunch with my side of the family. We've had this schedule for years and it really works for us. I love getting to spend time with both of our families. Now, onto the products! Here are the items I was given/purchased or received for review:

Clinique Take The Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm

I received this from BzzAgent for review. This stuff is amazing. You don't need very much and it takes off EVERYTHING! I don't think the charcoal aspect really does much, but I'll most likely purchase the original version of this.


It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Full Coverage Cream in Fair Ivory
 
I also received this from BzzAgent for review. I haven't tried this on yet, but I like that this has SPF 50.
 

 Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Ultimate Hydration Body Cream
 
This was a freebie on the B&BW app. I have the body spray, so I figured why not get the lotion as well?

*The rest of the products in this haul are the beauty products that I received for Christmas.*

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in American Doll

You all already know I love a blue red lip color. This is absolutely beautiful!


First Aid Beauty FAB Skin at the Disco

Aaaaand you all already know my love for everything FAB. I love all of these products!


Prada Candy Eau De Parfum
 
This is so nostalgic for me! It was all the rage when it first came out, but I wasn't able to purchase a full size of it. It has been on my wishlist for a very long time.


One/Size Fanstasia Bit of Magic Highlighter

This is so freaking adorable! I almost don't ever want to use it in order to not mess up the design in the powder.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter in 2 Fair

I've heard so many people rave about this product. Here's hoping I love it just as much!


Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

I know people are probably going to wonder who gave me acne face wash (and the next product in this list) for Christmas, but I can assure you that my husband isn't being a jerk. He included these two products in my stocking this year because he knows I've been struggling with acne since I started working at the hospital (which requires a face mask all day) a year and a half ago. It's the worst on the tops of my cheeks. I've tried so many things to get rid of my acne and this is just my husband's way of trying to help me.

 
Neutrogena All-In-One Acne Control

This is the other acne product that was in my stocking.

 
Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream in Soleil Tan Bronze

I've been dying to try this out for such a long time! It's pretty expensive so I haven't been able to justify the purchase, but I received an Ulta gift card for Christmas so I decided I was finally going to splurge and get it!
 
 
 
Kiss Nails Angels Special Design Fake Nails
 

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