Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

I bought and was given some beauty products that I wanted to show you!

ColourPop Exes & Oh's Palette

I bought this from Ulta after the store in my town reopened.  I got a gift card for my birthday and have been dying to use it.  This is my first palette from ColourPop.  I love the colors in this palette!

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation

I want to try out some new foundations so I chose this one because I've heard good reviews on it.

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth Foundation

This is the other foundation I chose.  I tried the original Fit Me and didn't like it, but this dewy + smooth version sounds more like something I'd like.

Soap & Glory Pout About It Hydrogel Lip Mask

I've tried this mask before and really liked it so I picked up another one.

Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder

This was given to me by a friend.  I've heard so many people say how good it is so I can't wait to use it!

Essence Lash Princess Mascara

I'm in a local "splash" group, and I received this gift from a stranger.  Again, I've heard a lot of good reviews on this and I can see why.  This is so good and so inexpensive!

L'Oreal Bambi Eye Mascara

I received this from BzzAgent for review.  I actually really liked this mascara!  I usually hate the rubber bristles, but this didn't clump up my lashes like others do.

That's everything I got recently!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend!

 

Influenster L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Voxbox Product Review

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?

I haven't received a voxbox from Influenster in quite some time, so I was pretty excited to find out that I was being sent some new lippies from L'Oreal.

These lip stains are incredibly opaque while still feeling lightweight on the lips.  The matte finish is surprisingly comfortable - I normally hate the way matte liquid lipsticks feel!  Application and lining of the lips is made super easy with the precision doe foot applicator.

I Am Worth It

I Create

I Rule

Swatches

What do you think about these new lip stains?  Have you had a chance to try them out?

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a good rest of the week and weekend!

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own.*

Another Collective Beauty Haul + Huge Announcement!

Hello, everyone!  Happy Thanksgiving!

I mentioned in my last post that I had some exciting news to share.  Well, the surprise is that I'm pregnant!  This is our first child and we're incredibly happy and excited for this adventure!  I'm 17 weeks along as of yesterday.  So far, I've only had a few symptoms.  I had sore breasts for about a week around 2 months ago, I was pretty much always tired these last three months, and I've recently started to feel the baby moving around.  Thankfully I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea. *Fingers crossed that I don't get hit with it later!*  We'll hopefully find out the sex next month.  (I say hopefully because at our first ultra sound the baby was moving around so much that it was hard to get measurements and pictures.)  At this point, neither of us prefer one sex over the other.  This is something we've wanted for such a long time - we've been together for 12 years! - and we just want the baby to be healthy and happy.  On another note, you've probably also noticed a decrease in my posts and that's because I just haven't been buying makeup/beauty items much these days.  I'm currently spending all my money on baby items lol!

Anyway, as the title says, I do have another beauty haul to share with you.  I've mostly been repurchasing items that I've run out of but I also had a budget to spend on whatever makeup I wanted during the recent sales at Ulta and Sephora, and it was honestly SO HARD to choose!  Not necessarily because there was so much that it was difficult to narrow it down, but because there wasn't anything that I felt like I *needed* to have.

So here are my repurchases and the products that I decided to get during the sales:

Noxema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

NARS Heartbreaker Cheek Palette

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Sheet Mask

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

NARS Spiked Audacious Lipstick in Siouxsie

Viseart Golden Hour Eyeshadow Palette

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow

NARS Pencil Sharpener

First Aid Beauty Skin Summit Set

That's everything I picked up lately!  What are some holiday items you purchased recently?

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

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  I got some exciting news on Saturday that I can't talk about just yet, but I'll absolutely let you all in on the secret soon!

Anyway, I have a few products to show you that I've picked up recently.

GVP 1 1/2" Travel Iron
I recently cut my hair shorter than I normally do.  As a result, my ends flip in crazy opposite directions.  I had planned on going my entire life without purchasing a straight iron since my hair is naturally straight, but I definitely need one now.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
I did not plan on ever repurchasing this product since it's quite spendy.  However, my SIL has a FabFitFun subscription and she lets me see all the add ons each season and I can purchase whatever I want through her account.  This was only $19.00 as an add on compared to the retail price of $79.00!  Total steal!

It's A 10 Miss America Edition Miracle Leave-In Product
It's A 10 had a promo going on where they were giving this product away for free on their website.  My order confirmation was in April and I only just received this in the mail a couple of weeks ago.  I guess I really can't complain though since it was free.

MAC x Aaliyah Bronzing Powder in Baby Girl
This collection was on sale at Ulta so I picked up a couple of items.  I really like the packaging and I'm hoping this bronzer works for my skin tone.

MAC x Aaliyah Lipstick in Try Again
This lipstick is much darker than I thought it was going to be based on the photo online.  It looked like a light nude instead of a brown.  Since I'm not a fan of brown lipsticks, this one is just going to sit in my LE collection.

Milani Cosmetics Limited Edition Halloween Color Statement Lipstick in Red After Dark
As I've said before, I love dark lipstick during this time of the year.  I can't wait to wear this all Autumn long.  lol!

That's everything!  What are some new products that you've been eyeing lately?

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