Beauty Haul!

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I've only bought a few things this time. I don't know why it's so hard for me to just not buy anything (especially since I already have SO much), but if I see something I've had my eye on for a while go on sale I just can't stop myself.

Tarte Tartelette in Bloom Eyeshadow Palette

I've been wanting this palette for a very long time, but couldn't justify purchasing it back then. It was recently on sale at Sephora, so I figured now was the perfect time to finally get it. 

Medicube Zero Pore Pads

I've heard a lot of rave reviews about this product, and I've been curious about it. I found out it was half off at Ulta, and it was only around $10. I decided it was totally worth picking up at that price point.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Brunette

I was out of my dry shampoo, so I ordered this at the same time.

Kitsch Rhinestone Claw Clips

I was a few dollars shy of receiving free shipping, so I got these hair clips to get the free shipping. They're super cute and will be perfect for summertime. 

Pantene Absorbent & Strong Shampoo, Conditioner, and Scalp Serum

This was free from Influenster for review. Everything smells amazing! I really like the scalp serum, and it's something I'll definitely repurchase.

Natural Elephant Moroccan Black Soap

 

I've heard good things about this and I really wanted to give it a try. 

 

Native Sensitive Series Body Lotion in Bare Jasmine

 

This was free from Influenster for review. 

 

Olay 5-in-1 Super Facial Cleanser

 

This was also free for review from Influenster. 

 

Thayers Hydrating Milky Toner

 

I picked this up from Ulta because I heard great things about this toner. 

 

L'Occitane Hand Cream

 

I got the smaller size of this hand cream to try out. It's expensive though so if it isn't life changing hydration then I won't repurchase this. 

 

Kitsch Tart Cherry Hair Perfume

 

This purchase is due to my current cherry scent obsession. 

 

Herbal Essences Rose Fragrance Hair Mist

 

This was free from Influenster for review as well. It smells exactly like the matching shampoo and conditioner. It's a very fine mist that doesn't make my hair look oily or weigh it down. 

 

 

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

 

Winter Empties & Review - 2026

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

Can you believe it's the end of March already?! This year is flying by so fast already. I'm already planning my sons' birthday parties. Here are all the products I was able to use up this past season.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation Deluxe Sample

I liked this foundation a lot. It matched my skin tone perfectly, and it looked great all day without sinking into my fine lines and pores. Whenever I finally run out of foundation, I'll likely purchase this one.

Olay Super Serum Body Cream

This was free from Influenster for review. I actually really liked this too. It's thick, but it sinks into the skin fairly quickly. It smells very nice. It also made my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I have some other body lotions to use up first, but I'm definitely repurchasing this when the others are gone. 

Layhomo Shea Butter Body Lotion

 

This wasn't hydrating at all. It felt like water. As soon as I rubbed it in, it was gone, and it felt like I didn't apply anything at all.  

 

 

Peach & Lily Super Oasis Concentrated Serum

 

This was fine. The formula is thin and sinks into the skin quickly. I don't feel like it did enough for its price though. 

 

Tatcha The Dewy Milk Moisturizer

 

This was fine too. I don't think it's good enough for me to purchase a full size of this. 

 

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

 

I really like this toner. I use it on my face on body. I've already repurchased this product and it's an item I will always repurchase. 

 

NARS Climax Mascara

 

I really liked this mascara. It was very black, and coated my lashes very well. 

 

Gold Bond Healing Hand Cream

 

I liked this hand cream. It smelled fine and it was thick and kept my hands feeling soft and hydrated. 

 

Redken All Soft Mega Treatment

 

I love this treatment! You only need a little bit of this, so this lasted forever! It smells nice and made my hair feel so soft and healthy. 

 

 

Bath & Body Works A Toast to You Body Lotion

 

This scent wasn't my favorite. I wouldn't purchase it again. 

 

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Hand Cream in Lavender and Vanilla

 

This scent was okay. It smelled more like baby powder than lavender vanilla. This cream was thick and my hands felt soft after using it. I might try a different scent next time. 

 

 

Josie Maran Body Butter in Bohemian Fig

 

I liked how thick and moisturizing this body butter was, but I hated the scent. I might try a different scent, but I would not repurchase this one. 

 

PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash

 

I wasn't a fan of this face wash. It has a chemical smell that I hated and it didn't do anything to help with my acne. I have a different face wash from this brand that I'm trying to use up now, but it smells the same as this wash and I'm hating it. 

 

 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Brunette

 

I always use this dry shampoo. I like that it's tinted instead of white against my dark hair. 

 

Tatcha The Longevity Memory Cream sample

 

I didn't really like this moisturizer. It didn't seem to hydrate my skin as much as I was expecting it to. 

 

Benefit Cosmetics Lolli Balm

 

I wasn't a big fan of this lip balm either. It has too bright of a pink tint to it. It didn't hydrate at all either. 

 

 

That's everything I was able to use up this time! I hope you have a great week, and thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Autumn Empties & Review - 2025

 Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas to all that celebrate! I hope your week is wonderful and magical. :)

Here are all the products I've used up over the last few months.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Brow Gel

This was fine. The brush was a little bigger than I'd like, but it did what it was supposed to do. 

The Brow Gal Brow Gel

 

I feel the same about this brow gel. It's fine, but nothing special. 

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

 

This felt nice on my lips and smells so good! I don't know that it actually helped with my dry lips though.

 

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

 

I've been using these for a long time. They're good for removing most makeup, but they don't take everything off. If you have any recommendations for makeup remover wipes, I'm all ears!

 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh

 

This smells nice and made my hair look clean and fresh. 

 

 

Peauamie Hyaluronic Acid Eye Mask

 

These felt nice under my eyes, but I have no idea if they actually did anything for me. 

 

Carmex Classic Lip Balm

 

I don't feel like this stuff really does anything to help with chapped lips. I've used it on and off for years and never saw a difference. For that, I won't ever repurchase this. 

 

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Night Treatment

 

This hand cream is very thick and greasy. It does seem to help with my dry, cracked skin though. I really like this brand of hand lotions and will very likely repurchase this in the near future. 

 

Redken All Soft Mega Hydramelt Treatment

 

I really, really like this stuff! I only use a small amount at a time, so this took forever to go through. Whenever I finally go through most of my hair care items and feel okay to purchase something, I'm going to start by repurchasing this product first. It smells amazing and makes my hair feel so soft!

 

 

That's all I was able to use up these last few months. I want to partake in Project Empty again for 2026. I've been going through my beauty products and choosing items to use up.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year's! Thank you for stopping by!
