Beauty Products Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

Here's everything I bought, was gifted, or was sent for review recently!

Redken Blondage Color Depositing Purple Shampoo

I received a gift card to Ulta for my birthday, so I ordered this since I was in need of a new purple shampoo. I've never tried this one before so hopefully it's good!


The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Ready To Glow! Printed Essence Sheet Mask

I ordered this from Ulta as well. I love Hello Kitty and this was too cute to pass up.


Lancome Advanced Genifique Night Cream sample

This was the free birthday gift from Ulta this year. I feel like June always gets small gifts compared to other months? I've seen people who have birthdays in other months post their free gifts and sometimes they're full size products! This is tiny! I suspected this year's gift was going to be small again, but this is smaller than I was expecting. And then they charged me for it! $9.50 for this dinky thing! It literally said "free birthday gift" but they charged me for it for some reason? I had to contact their customer support for a refund. What a letdown!


Verb Feeling Fine Hydrate & Shine Kit

I also received a gift card to Sephora for my birthday, and when I saw this kit I knew I had to add it to my basket. I really like this line of shampoo and conditioner. This set also includes their Ghost Oil which I've never used before.


Ouai Birthday Gift

Sephora always has a few different birthday gifts to choose from, and this year I chose the gift from Ouai. It contains their Detox Shampoo mini, Leave-In Travel Conditioner mini, St. Bart's Body Cleanser mini, and the Melrose Place eau de parfum mini. I've used the leave-in conditioner before and it's nice, but the scent isn't the greatest. It's not bad necessarily, but it's not great either.


Concealer Sample Set

This was offered as a free gift with any order over $35 (I believe) and I'm currently in the market for a new concealer so this was perfect timing! It includes 10 different concealer samples as well as a mini Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray and mini Laura Mercier setting powder.


ILNP Nail Polish in Evermore

I really love this brand of nail polish, and was given this as one of my birthday presents. Their holographic polishes are insane! This shade is stunning.


Revlon Dry & Shine Hair Dryer

My current hair dryer has been on the fritz lately, so I got this one to replace it. It works pretty well. I really want to get the Dyson hair dryer, but those are so expensive! I'll make do with this for now until I save up some extra money to buy the Dyson.


That's everything I got this time! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a great week!

Spring Book Haul - 2023

 Hi, everyone! How has your holiday weekend been?

All of these books (except for the last one) are books that I received for my birthday at the beginning of the month.

Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

This is the second book of the King of Scars duology. I already have the first book and was gifted this for my birthday, so I'm ready to start reading this mini series!


Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I've heard great things about this series, so I can't wait to start reading this!


Crumbs & Doilies by Cupcake Jemma

The recipes in this book are incredible. I'm excited to try to recreate some of them.


The Skinny Taste Air Fryer Cookbook by Gina Homolka

We just got a new (and bigger) air fryer recently, and I'm ready to try out some new air fryer recipes.


The Witch's Feast A Kitchen Grimoire by Melissa Jayne Madara

The recipes in this cookbook are stunning. I don't believe in witchcraft or anything, but the recipes in this book are beautiful and rustic. I think these will be amazing for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons.


Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
 
This ended up going on sale for less than $6 on Amazon so obviously I snatched it up! It was brand new and still wrapped in plastic.
 
 
That's all the books I got this season! What are you currently reading? I'd love to know!

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