Autumn Empties & Review - 2023

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend?

I haven't had time to post much lately because we've been quite busy these days. I'm hoping after the holidays are over I'll have some more free time to post regularly again. So anyway, here's everything I used up over the last few months!

Verb Ghost Shampoo & Conditioner

*My husband threw away the conditioner bottle before I had a chance to get a photo.* I really like this shampoo and conditioner. I've purchased it before and I'll likely purchase it again soon after I finish what I'm currently using. The scent is nice, and it makes my hair look shiny and feel strong. I've read a lot of reviews saying this set made their hair fall out more, but I haven't had that issue.

Killian Love, Don't Be Shy

 

I received this for free from either Influenster or BzzAgent for review (it's been a while so I can't remember which one!) This scent is very strong, but I received a lot of compliments when I wore it. It is a warm. floral scent with vanilla. I liked it a lot, but it's very pricey.

Ouai Melrose Place

This is a beautiful fresh, floral scent. It's very long lasting without being overpowering.

Bath & Body Works Bahamas Hand Cream

This smells like summer vacation! Too bad it does absolutely nothing for my dry hands.

Maskiss 24K Gold Eye Mask

This was given to me and it was nice. I don't know that I would purchase it, but it wasn't bad.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation

This wasn't my favorite foundation. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't repurchase it. It didn't cover up my redness very well and settled into my fine lines.

Bath & Body Works Blackberry and Basil Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

 

This was my first time trying out this scent, and I love it! I really hope B&BW brings it back in the spring because I need more!

Bath & Body Works Blackberry and Basil Shower Gel

 

Same with this! It smells just as good as the lotion.

Bath & Body Works Midnight Amber Glow Hand  Cream

 

This was okay. I don't feel like it did much to keep my hands moisturized, but the scent is good.

Tatcha The Rice Wash

This wasn't bad, but I don't understand all the hype around this line. I don't dislike it, but I also won't go out of my way and repurchase this.

Ole Henriksen Lemonade Smoothing Scrub

This smells sooo nice! I like how my skin feels after using this too.

Ouai Leave In Conditioner

I don't really love the smell of this, but it helps detangle my hair and leaves it feeling very soft.

I also went through a tub of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, but my husband threw that away before I could snap a photo of that too. -.-

That's all I used up this time! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope those of you who celebrate have a magical Christmas and a fun and safe New Year!

New Beauty Products!

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

My son started preschool last week! I can't believe it's already September and the school year has started. I am ready for some cooler weather and all the Halloween festivities though. We're going to Halloweentown in St. Helens for the first time this year and I'm so excited for it! What are you looking forward to for fall? Anyway, here are the items I picked up/received recently!

Hair claw clips

I finally caved and made a purchase with Temu. This is one of the items I picked out. I should have read the description because I thought these were going to be bigger, but they're still really cute.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

 

I bought the big box from Costco but forgot to snap a photo before I removed the packages from the box and broke down the box.

Knock-off Vaseline Lip Therapy

 

This is another product I ordered from Temu. I swear the package said the brand name Vaseline in the photos, but this clearly doesn't. They come in a variety of flavors, so I'm still excited to give them a try.

Killian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy perfume sample

 

This is from Influenster. It smells really nice, but I'm a bit bummed that they sent out a sample instead of a full size bottle. Regardless, it smells amazing!

Women's Michiru

 

This was also sent to me from Influenster. This is for hair growth. I used this for about two weeks (it contains 1 months worth) and I stopped using it. The instructions say to apply this to the scalp twice a day. The problem with that is this leaves your hair looking greasy af! No amount of time or dry shampoo made my hair look better after applying this product. Like I said, I stopped using it, and I wouldn't recommend this product.

KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner

 

I also received this (and the next KVD Beauty product) from Influenster for review. I've been using this liner for years and I love it! It's my go-to liner and I always repurchase it.

KVD Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Moth Orchid

 Again, this is from Influenster. I don't love liquid lipsticks, but this was actually very comfortable to wear, and the shade is beautiful!

Nars Power Matte High Intensity Lip Pencil in Cruella

I received this for free from BzzAgent for review. I already have this shade in their discontinued lip pencil and I love it! This is super creamy and glides on like a dream. It dries quickly but it doesn't feel dry and uncomfortable on the lips.

Lilly Lashes in Mykonos Lite

I've never tried this brand for lashes before, and these were on sale so I decided to pick them up to give them a try.

 

Urban Decay Naked Heat Eye Shadow Palette

This was on sale for half off, and I've been on the fence about purchasing this for a very long time. The shades are nice, and I'm excited to play around with it.

Sephora foundation freebie

I'm still in the market for a holy grail foundation, so hopefully this pack of samples will help me find an amazing one!

 That's everything new for me for now! Thank you for stopping by, and have a great week!
