Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Haul

Hello, everybody! How was your holiday weekend? I had a much needed relaxing four day weekend!

I recently placed an order through the Bath & Body Works app and here's what I decided on.

Disney Princess Pocketbac Hand Sanitizers

 I ordered two of each of these scents. I decided this year that I would be better at purchasing items that I can use for Christmas gifts throughout the year, and I have a bunch of nieces who will like these.

 

Wallflower Refills

 

I needed some "everyday" scents. All of the refills I have are seasonal scents.

 

 

Sweet Carrot Cake Foaming Hand Soap

 

This scent is very strong and sweet. It's nice though. I had a combined birthday party for my boys at the beginning of May and received quite a few compliments on the scent of this.

 

Sundrenched Linen 3-Wick Candle

 

This was free with purchase! I love a nice clean linen scent, and this one is really good.

 

 

That's everything I ordered this time. Did you pick up anything from the Semi-Annual Sale?

 

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

New Beauty Products

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? We had my SIL's drive by baby shower at my house yesterday. It was sunny and beautiful all week last week and then it rained yesterday. *sigh* Aside from the rain, the baby shower was a success. Somehow though, my SIL didn't receive ANY baby clothes or baby blankets! I typically avoid those items since they're the items that are gifted the most. Apparently everyone else had the same thought, so I'm going out this weekend to buy a blanket and a bunch of baby clothes for her.

There's that! Now, here are the new products I've bought and received recently.

Verb Ghost Shampoo & Conditioner Set

I received two samples of these and I really liked them. I don't love the price, but my hair feels and looks so nice since I've been using these.

Color Street in Love Letters & Heart of the Matter

Somehow I didn't have any Valentine's Day sets?? So I ordered these two from my friend.

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream sample

I've heard good things about this, but I wanted to try out a sample first before committing to purchasing the full size.

Buxom Power-Full Lip Scrub in Sweet Guava

I received this free from BzzAgent for review. This was a let down. It's very waxy and the scrubby bits are few and far between so it doesn't feel like it scrubs your lips at all. They also market this as "fruity" but there is almost no fruity scent at all. Save your money.

Color Street in My Lucky Charm and Wonder-Mint

I also realized that I didn't have any St. Patrick's Day sets so I made sure to get a couple in before the 17th.

 

I noticed that there were a lot of items on my Sephora wishlist that were on sale this month, so I ordered what was still in stock while they were on sale. There was one more product on sale that I wanted, but it was out of stock (and still is). The Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Metal Moon is regularly $38 but was on sale for only $12! It still shows it's on sale, so hopefully it comes back in stock and I can order it ASAP. Anyway, here's what I did get:

 

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Diamond Milk (Retail $20 on sale for $13)

I love these lip glosses, so of course I picked this one up since it was on sale.

 

KVD Beauty Everlasting Longwear Liquid Lipstick in Mother (Retail $21 on sale for $15)

I love these liquid lipsticks, but I don't like paying full price for them. lol

 

Violet Voss HG Pro Eyeshadow Palette (Retail $45 on sale for $31)

I've been wanting this palette for a while, but I couldn't get myself to actually order it. Since it was on sale, it was much easier for me to click "add to basket". The shades are beautiful and perfect for everyday looks.

 

One/Size Go Off Makeup Remover Wipes (Retail $15 on sale for $7.50)

These wipes are HUGE! I've been wanting to try them out so I figured picking them up while they were on sale was a good time to do so.

 

Disney Minnie Mouse Lip Balm

 

I saw this at Fred Meyer and couldn't pass it up because it was so cute.

 

Bare Minerals Maximist Liquid Eyeliner in Maximum Black

I received this complimentary from BzzAgent for review. This went on so easily and smooth. It's a really deep black which I prefer. The thin brush made closely lining my eyes and adding a small flick of a wing super easy to do. I would recommend this liner.

 

Revlon So Fierce! Eyes Wide Open Mascara and Ultra HD Snap! Nail Polish

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for review. I don't like either of these. The mascara wand is weirdly shaped and it clumped up my lashes pretty bad. The nail polish is not a color I would ever buy for myself and it was very streaky. I wouldn't recommend either of these.

 

 

 

That's everything new for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome week!

Autumn Book Haul - 2021

 Hello, everyone! How was your holiday weekend?

These are the books I've purchased/have been given this season. I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to move into a bigger house. My book collection is getting close to needing a whole room to themselves!

The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse

This was pretty good. Lots of twists just when you think you've realized who the killer is.

Go The Distance by Jen Calonita

 

I've read one "Twisted Disney Tale" already, and this is my second purchase. I really enjoy Disney re-tellings.

The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

I've read amazing reviews about this book, so I finally picked it up. I've only read one other Grady Hendrix book, but I enjoyed it, so hopefully this will be enjoyable too.

 

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

 

I really like the Grisha verse, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this book too.

 

Classic Works From Women Writers

 

This is another leather bound classics book. I think they're absolutely beautiful. I have every intention of collecting all of them.

 

The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies

I heard good things about this book, so I wanted to check it out for myself.

 

 

That's all for this season! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fun and safe New Year's!

Beauty Haul

 Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I really don't "need" anymore makeup, but I always seem to buy more of it.  Do I need two more red lipsticks?  No, but I don't have THESE two.  Do I also have one more on the way?  *Hides face in shame*  Joking aside, here's everything new that I got recently!

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

There's nothing really to say about these besides I ran out of makeup remover wipes and needed more.

NARS VIP Audacious Lipstick in Rita

It may be a bit difficult to see in the pictures, but the casing is gold.  It is also limited edition, so obviously I had to have it.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick in Ready to Seduce

The red stars on the packaging of this lipstick are so cute!  The shade I really wanted came back in stock, so I ordered that one too and it's on its way.

Colourpop x Mulan Lux Gloss in Phoenix

I didn't plan on purchasing this lipgloss, but I only needed to spend a few more dollars on the Colourpop website to qualify for free shipping so I decided on this.

Colourpop x Hello Kitty and Friends Pressed Powder Palette

I love Hello Kitty, so when I saw this palette I couldn't resist it!

Colourpop Wine & Only Pressed Powder Palette

This palette was the reason I browsed through the Colourpop website.  I saw someone post swatches of this palette on their Instagram stories and I fell in love with it!

And that's everything for now!  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!
