Collective Bath & Body Works Haul

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend?

 I meant to make this post a long, long time ago. If you saw my last post, you'll know that I had issues with my camera and couldn't take pictures for a while. A couple of these items are from last year's semi annual sale, and the rest are from the last 6/7-ish months.

Halloween 2023 Bloody Chalice

I bought this when it was on clearance. I liked it, but it was too expensive when it was full price. It's pretty sturdy and looks great on my mantle.


Leaves 3 Wick Candle
 
This I bought last year as well. I like this scent and it was on sale, so it was a no brainer.


Sensual Amber Wallflower
 
This is the last item I purchased last year. I wanted a warm fall scent and I didn't have one. This one fits the bill.


Lavender + Vanilla Hand Cream
 
This is what I decided to get with my free body care item voucher for my birthday. The scent is nice, and it's a great size to throw in my purse.


Wisteria Garden Hand Soap
 
This scent was so nice! I hate that it was limited edition. If anyone knows of a scent that is the same or similar, please let me know.


Mahogany Vanilla Hand Soap
 
I liked this scent as well. I'm glad this one is available all year round.


Pink Lavender and Espresso Single Wick Candle
 
I was a little hesitant to buy this, but the scent is actually really good. It's floral but it's warm and lightly coffee scented.


Pink Apple Punch Single Wick Candle
 
This one smells really sweet, but had very, very little scent when I burned it. Not worth it in my opinion.


Wicked Vanilla Woods Hand Soap
 
This scent is fine. I probably wouldn't buy it again, but I wouldn't be mad if I ended up with it.


Vampire Blood Hand Soap
 
This is the typical vampire blood scent. It's not bad, but it's a bit overrated.


3-Wick Candle Holder
 
I love this spooky skeleton candle holder! He glows in the dark too!
 

That's all for now! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!

HUGE Collective Beauty Haul

 Hello, everyone! Long time, no see!

 Unfortunately, I was having a lot of issues with my camera over the last few months so I was unable to take any pictures. I finally got it figured out last week though, so I'm back to posting. :) I've acquired quite a lot of products during my time away, so get ready for a long one!

NARS Power Matte High Intensity Lip Pencil in Walkyrie

I love these lip pencils. They're so creamy and slide on smoothly. The pigmentation is insane, and even though they don't last all day, they are easy to reapply.


Kitsch x Hello Kitty Claw Clip

Apparently this year is the 50th anniversary of Hello Kitty, and she's been collaborating with EVERYONE. Disclaimer: lots of HK in this post.
 

Wet Brush x Hello Kitty Original Detangler

Did I need another wet brush? No. But, it's Hello Kitty and I'm a collector, so here we are.
 

OPI x Hello Kitty Nail Polishes in Supercute Color and Let's Be Friends Forever

I love OPI nail polishes and these colors looked so pretty.
 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Mini Eyeshadow Palette
 
I saw that this palette was on sale on Sephora's website, so I finally decided to order it. I've always loved the Urban Decay Naked palettes, and these mini palettes have the same quality shadows as the full size. These are great to travel with since they don't take up a lot of space.
 

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Pink Quartz

I have always wanted these shimmer bricks, but they're so expensive! This happened to be on sale, so I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did because I don't see these on Sephora's website anymore. They have BB's other highlighters, but these shimmer bricks no longer show up.
 

Too Faced Natural Eyes Eyeshadow Palette
 
I've been eyeing this palette for a long time too. It was also on sale (half off, I believe) so again, I went ahead and ordered it. Has this also been discontinued?? I can't find it on Sephora's website anymore either. The shadows swatched nicely, but I haven't tried this on my eyes yet.
 

Kitsch Continuous Mist Spray Bottle
 
I keep forgetting to purchase a spray bottle for my hair and end up just getting my hands wet and brushing them through my hair. I don't know why I've put off buying one of these for so long, but it has been so nice to have. The continuous spray is great too! This was a little more than I'd typically like to spend for a spray bottle, but its been well worth it.
 

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and Travel Case

I had no idea they made cases for makeup sponges! I was so excited to see this because I usually just throw my sponge into my makeup bag when I'm traveling and it's really gross and not at all sanitary. This is such a wonderful idea.
 

Kitsch x Hello Kitty King Size Satin Pillowcase

This pillowcase is just so cute! I couldn't resist it. I only have cotton pillowcases, so I'm thrilled to try out a satin one. I heard they help keep your hair and skin clean too, and I really need that in my life.
 

Soap & Glory The Glorious Five Set

I've tried a few S&G products before, and I've enjoyed them all. This set has items I love and some I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping the new to me products are going to be just as good as the others I've tried already.
 

Soap & Glory Heel Genius Hydrating Foot Cream

I've never tried this before, but my feet are needing some intense TLC right now. I'm hoping this helps me out.
 

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Hello Fizzy! Aromatherapy Bath Bombs in Strawberry Skies and Apple Blossom

My bathtub is very shallow, so I never take baths. Even so, I couldn't resist these bath bombs.
 
 
Lush Trick or Treat Bath Duo

Same with these bath bombs. Haha, I couldn't help myself! They're too cute and they smell amazing!
 

Kitsch x Hello Kitty Puffy Scrunchies

I'm trying to get away from typical elastic bands and switching completely to satin hair ties since they're better for my hair. Or at least that's what I tell myself as I add another set of scrunchies to my cart. These ones are cute though!
 

Kitsch x Hello Kitty Bow Shape Claw Clip

This clip is super cute! That's it, that's the only reason I bought it.
 
 
Kitsch x Hello Kitty Creaseless Clips

Same with these. Haha!
 

Lip Smacker x Hello Kitty Lip Balm Trio

I really, really do not need anymore lip balms. But these ones came with a cute HK tin. Hahahaaaaa I have a problem...
 

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Mattifying Blotting Paper & Reusable Mirror Compact

This purchase is a lot harder for me to justify. My skin isn't as oily as it used to be like when I was a teenager and in my 20's. Buuuuut this is cute. I told you I have a problem.
 
 
Sun Bum Tinted Lip Balm in Sunset Cove

As I said earlier, I don't actually need another lip balm. However, I don't have very many with SPF in it. When I apply SPF, I never think about my lips. I'm trying to be better about applying it everywhere.
 

Ole Henriksen Disco Duo Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Set

I'm really into lip balms and lip oils right now. I still love a nice lip stick, but with my dry lips I need more moisture.
 

Touchland x Hello Kitty Power Mist & Mist Case

I hate how expensive these hand sanitizers are, but as I'm sure you've figured out by now, I have a HK addiction.
 

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Apple of My Eye Brightening Hydrogel Under Eye Patches

I don't have high hopes for these, but they're cute and they were very inexpensive.
 

Melt Cosmetics Christmas Town Eyeshadow Palette

This was on sale, so I bought it. I had been eyeing it since it came out, but I didn't want to spend that kind of money on shades I wouldn't use very often. I haven't used this on my eyes yet, but the swatches leave a lot to be desired. The mattes were incredibly dry and patchy.
 

Perricone MD High Potency Intensive Smoothing Serum

I received this from BzzAgent for review. I've been using this for a few weeks now, and I haven't noticed a difference in my skin at all. This costs $135! For that price, I should see a significant difference in my skin texture. There's no way I could recommend this product to anyone.
 

Sephora Favorites Precious Pouts Lip Set

This set is really great for trying out new products. I haven't tried most of these items, and just from the swatches I've done of them, I can tell these are going to be amazing. The fuzzy makeup bag is a nice extra as well.
 

Kerastase Nutritive Hydrating Shampoo, Conditioner, and Heat Protecting Styling Cream

I received all three of these products from BzzAgent for review. I've completely used up the shampoo and conditioner already. I really like them! They smell like the salon, and made my hair feel incredible. I still have a lot of the heat protector cream left, but I'll definitely use that all up too. In my opinion, the cream smells the best of the three products.
 

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum

My husband bought this for me as part of my anniversary gift. I've always wanted a Chanel perfume, and this one smells wonderful. It's a warm floral scent that lasts all day.
 

Glossier Glassy High-Shine Lip Gloss

I wanted to try this super shiny lip gloss. It looks beautiful over lipstick or on its own.
 

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Luv U So Matcha Printed Essence Sheet Mask

This was very inexpensive, so I decided to give it a try.
 
 
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oil in Delight

This is a sample size. I want to try more products from this brand, but I can never decide on what to purchase. These minis are great for trying something new without the commitment of purchasing a full size item.


Peter Thomas Roth Even Smoother Instant Reveal Facial Peel

I have no intention of using these on my face. I want to try these on my arms and legs to try to get rid of my KP. I saw someone on TikTok say these helped her, so I decided to give them a go.


ChapStick in Pumpkin Pie
 
As previously stated, I don't need this because I have a ton of lip balm. But this is pumpkin pie scented and it was given to me for free, so don't come for me.


That's all for now. Have you tried any of these products? Or do you have any on your Christmas list?
 
It's good to be back! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
