Halloween Decor Haul

 Hello, all!  How was your weekend?

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. I really enjoy going out shopping for Halloween decor and hunting down amazing pieces.  I've been pretty busy this year, so I haven't been out much unfortunately.  Here's what I have picked up though!

Patchy the Bear from Bellzi

Technically, I ordered this last year. However, they sent it out wayyyy later than they were originally supposed to. I ordered this in October 2020 and didn't receive it until JANUARY! So I couldn't even display him last year.

Bath & Body Works candles and candle accessory

I'm not going to go into detail for these since I put up a separate post for these, but I'm so excited to put these out!

Kitty Vampire Squishmallow

I went to Walgreens in search of the Nightmare Before Christmas Squishmallows but they weren't out yet, BUT I found this guy and couldn't resist! He's adorable.

Magic potion bottle

I believe this was $3 from the Target dollar spot. It also lights up which is cool.

Bat candle holder

Also $3 from the Target dollar spot. There were only two left and I wish I would have grabbed the other one so I could have two of them. I don't know why I only bought one and now I can't find anymore of these. I'm hoping I see just one more!

Orange cloche

Again, $3 from the dollar spot at Target. It's super cute! I'm not sure what I'm going to put inside yet. Any suggestions?

Candy corn dish

I found this at Fred Meyer (Kroger) and thought it was so cute.

Pocketbac Holders from AsylumHandicrafts

 

These hold the Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers. Aren't they adorable? They're from a shop on Etsy. The lady who runs it has A TON of cute items. You can go take a look for yourself here.

 

 Starbucks Halloween Tumblers

 

I know the black studded tumbler isn't "technically" part of their Halloween line, but I'm counting it. LOL I also couldn't resist the lime green studded tumbler or the spiderweb tumbler.

 

Hocus Pocus mug

 

This is from Kirkland's. I had to order off their website because we don't have a Kirkland's where I live. I love this mug so much!

 

Couldron mug

 

This mug is from Fred Meyer (Kroger). I kinda wish it was a matte black, but I still love it!

 

Witch legs wall sign

 

This is something my husband bought for me while he was out shopping. He saw it and thought I would like it. Isn't he the best??

 

Couldron display thing??

 

Honestly I'm not sure what this is called, but I thought it would be perfect for holding little glass bottles filled with "potions".

 

 

The next 5 items are also pieces that my husband picked up for me. He knows my love for Halloween, so if he sees something he thinks I'll like he picks it up for me. Isn't he sweet?!

 

Jack-o-lantern candle holders

 

I wish the mouths on these were better, but they're still super cute.

 

Ghost count down decor

 

I don't have a count down to Halloween decor piece so I'm so excited for this!

 

Bat table top decor

 

I'm really into bats this year, so this is perfect.

 

Hey There Pumpkin wall sign

 

I think this is from Wal-Mart. It's really cute, and I think I'm going to hang it on my front door after Halloween. I currently have a "BOO" sign there that I want to keep up.

 

Spooky Boo table top decor

 

I love the little bat and the ghost in a witch hat on this! I wish it wasn't covered in glitter, but I can probably use a clear spray of some kind to keep it from flaking off.

 

 

Witches Brew votive candles from Yankee Candle

 

I wanted the large jar of this scent, but it had sold out so quickly I wasn't able to order one. I bought two votive size candles instead. I really like this scent and I can't wait to light them.

 

 

Creepy Cloth

 

I always forget to buy creepy cloth! I don't know why I can't remember before they're all sold out, but thankfully I saw this last one passing through the Halloween section at Fred Meyer. Hopefully next year I'll remember to buy more.

 

 

That's all that I had time to pick up this year.  What are some of your favorite Halloween finds this year?

 

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

 

 

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!

Sephora VIB Sale Haul

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

Today I have my Sephora VIB Appreciation sale haul.  I wasn't expecting a sale this soon, so I didn't have much time to think about what I really wanted.  *Spoiler alert* I actually didn't purchase any makeup this time around!  Yes, I'm just as surprised as you are!

I was browsing through the Sephora website and remembered some brushes that I've been considering for some time.  I have not had the pleasure of purchasing Hakuhodo brushes before (they're quite expensive), but I remembered there were some in the sale section.  I ended up choosing all three brushes from the remaining limited edition Hakuhodo x Sephora Pro collection.  They are beautiful brushes!  The handles are lightweight and in my favorite color (red).  The synthetic bristles are incredibly soft and dense.  I can't wait to clean them and try them out.

Kusabi - wedge sloping powder brush

Otsubu - large teardrop pointed powder brush

Ougi - fan cheek brush

That's all I picked up during the sale!  What did you purchase with your discount?

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