New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? Can you believe it's already December? This year went by so quickly!

Here's everything I bought or received recently.

Ivory Body Soap

This was free for review from Influenster. This bottle is huge! It's scent free, so it's great for those who are sensitive to scents. 

Schick Hydro Silk

 

I needed new blades, and I haven't tried these before so I figured I'd give them a go. 

Cerave PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion

 

This was also free for review from Influenster. I like this moisturizer. It sinks into the skin pretty quick and keeps my skin feeling moisturized.

 

 

Perricone MD Corrective Brightening Under Eye Cream

 

Again, this was free for review from Influenster. I haven't noticed a difference after using this product for a few weeks. This is very pricey, so I don't think it's something I'll purchase when I run out.

 

Exuviance 3-in-1 Clarifying Cleanser

 

This was another free product for review from Influenster. This leaves my face feeling clean, but it's not anything special.

 

OGX ProGrowth + Peptide

 

I received this free from Influenster for review as well. I haven't seen any new growth while using this. It does smell really nice though and doesn't leave any residue in my hair. 

 

 

That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

 

New Beauty Haul!

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? Can you believe it's already the end of July?!

I really need to cut back on my beauty purchases. I have so much stuff that I need to use up before I buy any more products. I think it's time to go through all of my products and create a "use it up" bin. Anyway, here's all the new products I've received/bought recently. T.T To be fair, most of these were free. So there's my excuse this time.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

This was free from Influenster. I like that it's lightly scented since I use a lot of other scented products. This lathers up nicely and my skin feels clean after I use it. 

Sun Bum Sunscreen SPF 30 Lip Balm in Kiwi

 

I'm really trying to take better care of my lips. I never thought to use SPF on them until just a couple years ago. This is fine. 

Lip Smacker Lip Balm in Pink Lemonade

 

This was given to me. It's so nostalgic! Lip Smacker was my favorite brand of lip balm when I was in school. 

 

Summer Friday Self-Care Celebration Birthday Gift

 

My birthday was in June, and this was one of the options for Sephora's free birthday gift. 

 

Laura Mercier Lunar New Year Translucent Loose Setting Powder

 

Do I need this? No. Did I buy it anyway because it's a red lunar new year edition and it was on sale? Absolutely yes. 

 

Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint

 

This was also free from Influenster for review. I really like this skin tint! It's a perfect shade match and it looks so nice on my skin. 

 

Lip Smacker x Hello Kitty 10 Piece Lip Balm Party Pack

 

I picked this up from Ulta. I know, I know. I don't need anymore lip balms, but I can't resist when it comes to Hello Kitty products. 

 

Lip Smacker x Hello Kitty Peach Gummy

 

This was also from Ulta. It's very bulky, but it's cute. 

 

Olaplex No. 3 & No. 7 Duo Kit Birthday Gift

 

This was the birthday gift from Ulta this year. 

 

It's A 10 Miracle Leave In Product

 

I love this leave in treatment. It smells nice too. 

 

Philosophy Hope in a Jar

 

This was another free product to review from Influenster. 

 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

 

I really like this, as you know. I repurchase it constantly. 

 

Kitsch x Hello Kitty King Size Satin Pillowcases

 

I had $50 worth of reward points to use at Ulta, so I ordered these two pillowcases (both on sale - one was half off for $13 and the other was only $6.50) and the serum under these. 

 

Peach & Lily Super Oasis Concentrated Serum

 

I've never tried anything from this brand before, but I've heard great things about it. I'm excited to see how it works for me. 

 

 

Armani Beauty Skin Tint in L1

 

This was another free gift for review from Influenster. I like this skin tint, but the shade is a tiny bit too dark for me. That's on me though. It can be difficult choosing a shade online. I thought I picked the one closest to my skin tone. 

 

 

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

 

 

Beauty Haul - March 2023

 Hello, everyone! How was your week? Work was crazy busy this past week, so I'm looking forward to the weekend even though it's going to be cold and rainy.

I haven't been buying makeup lately, so I don't even know what's new. I need to go around and check out all the new makeup. I've been in a makeup rut lately and I want to get out of it. Anyway, here is everything I've bought/received this month.

Divi Hydrate + Restore Shampoo & Conditioner

I received these from either BzzAgent or Influenster (can't remember which one!) back in late January/early February, but apparently I never put them in a blog post? I even checked back to December just in case I forgot when I received them, but I can't find them in anywhere other than my declutter post. Anyway, seeing as I've already de-cluttered them, I obviously didn't like these. I used them once and my hair immediately felt dry and straw-like. These are a hard no!

Kitsch The Satin Heatless Curling Set

 

This is one of those "Tik Tok made me buy it" products. It actually works pretty well! I'm glad I was influenced into trying this. lol

Kitsch Ceramic Thermal Rollers

I've been wanting some rollers for a while now, so I ordered these at the same time I ordered the heatless curling set. These work alright. I might just need a little more practice with them to get the curls to look good.

Aimike Shampoo Brush

I also ordered this at the same time as the previous two products. I got sucked into those hair oiling videos on Tik Tok so I purchased this to stimulate my scalp. It feels nice. I haven't been using it for very long though so I can't say if it helps or not yet.

Clean & Clear Blackhead Eraser Scrub

 

I have a lot of blackheads that I'm trying to get rid of, so I wanted to try out this face scrub again. I haven't used this in many years, so I can't remember if this helped or not.

Cle De Peau Beaute Correcting Cream Veil

 

I received this complimentary from Influenster for review. This is fine. It feels nice on my face and I like that it has SPF in it and that it evens out my skin tone a bit, but it really accentuated the few dry spots I had on my cheeks. I wouldn't purchase this if you have dry patches on your face, especially for $85!

Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate

I received this complimentary from Influenster for review. This is a thin serum, so a little goes a long way. The glass packaging is nice and it has a unique dropper. This makes my skin feel really soft and smooth. The only downside is this is fairly expensive. This 1.69 oz bottle costs $132!

 

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

 

New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

Here are all the new beauty products I've been trying out.

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Oui 1.7 oz ($102)

I received this free for review from BzzAgent. The scent is nice, and I'm given a lot of compliments when I wear it.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Brow Gel ($9.99)

 

This was also sent to me from BzzAgent. This is okay. I don't think it keeps my brow hairs in place better than my ABH brow gel, but the brush on this one is nice. I don't think I'd replace my favorite ABH brow gel for this though.

Lancome Idole Lash Lifting Volumizing Mascara ($27)

Once again, this was sent to me from BzzAgent. I received this same mascara from BzzAgent before, but it was the sample size. I really like this mascara, so I was thrilled to receive the full size of this.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 1.7 oz ($100)

I received this from Influenster for review. I've heard amazing things about this moisturizer, so I was delighted to see that I was going to be testing this. I do think the price is quite steep.

 

Color Street Nail Polish Wraps

 

My friend has decided she isn't going to be selling CS anymore, so she was having a "Going Out Of Business" sale. The deal was B3G1 free when you ordered from the website and then choose an additional 3 from my friend's inventory for free. So purchase 3 and get 4 free. The first set are the 4 that I ordered online and the second set are the 3 that I chose from my friend's inventory.

 

Picture 1 top to bottom: Gaelic Greenery, Holidaze, How Do You Hue?, and Plaid's All Folks.

Picture 2 top to bottom: Good Girls Gone Plaid, Cherry-Picked, and 

Into The Cosmos.

 

 

Eva NYC Tone It Down Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner

 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for review. I've never tried a purple shampoo and conditioner before, so I was ecstatic to find out I was receiving these! The price isn't bad (under $15.00 each), and they're made from recyclable tin. I've only used these a couple of times, so I haven't noticed any change in the tone of my hair color yet.

 

 

The next three products are the items I purchased during the Sephora VIB sale.

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown

 

I ran out of this, so I needed to pick up a new one. I'm currently using the ABH Brow Definer, but I don't know if I like it. It's triangle shaped and thicker than the Brow Wiz, so I'm still learning how to apply it.

 

Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner

I keep hearing great things about this brush cleaner, so I finally ordered it. We'll see if it works wonders like everyone claims it does.

 

GXVE Eye See In Color Eyeshadow Quad in Simple Kind Of Life

 

I was quite excited to see Gwen Stefani come out with a makeup collection, so I ordered one of the eyeshadow quads. The shades in this quad are a bit boring, but they're great everyday neutrals. Not gonna lie, I kinda hate the cardboard inside the plastic casing. The cardboard packaging that it comes in is great, but I feel like the design for the actual case (second picture) looks cheap.

 

 

That's everything new for now! Have you tried any of these products out? What are your thoughts on them?

Thank you for stopping by! Have a fantastic week!
