New Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your holiday weekend? Unfortunately, my son had an ear infection and woke up around 4:30 every morning. Needless to say, we were all very tired this past weekend.

On to nicer things... here's everything I received/bought recently and also some items that were in my stocking for Christmas!

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness

I received this from BzzAgent, and I did not like this at all. I already wrote about this in my last declutter post, but here it is again with pictures this time. This caused my face to break out with dozens of whiteheads. It didn't even lessen the amount of redness on my face. Not worth it at all, in my opinion.

The Ordinary Niacinamide Powder

I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but I'm excited to!

Ole Henriksen Acids Done Bright Set

 

This was on clearance, so I ordered it. I've used 2 out of the 3 products in this set before, and I liked both of them. I hadn't tried the scrub before, but it smelled divine!

Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer

 

I had a sample of this, and I loved how it looked under my eyes so I purchased the full size of it. It brightens and conceals so well, I actually look rested. lol

Youth to the People Superfood + Cedarwood Fresh Greens Hand Soap

 

I received this free from BzzAgent. This is really nice. I love the glass bottle, and the scent is very fresh. Would I pay $39 to replace this hand soap? No.

Tony Moly I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet

I've used this brands sheet masks for many years and I love them!

Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer in Shade 2

I received this free from BzzAgent. I've only tried this once so far, but it disprupted my foundation when I applied it. I'll try applying it before foundation and see if that works better.

MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish

I loved the look of this packaging, and it was on sale at Ulta, so I impulsively purchased it. I have no idea if this shade is going to be a bit too dark for me. Here's hoping it's not!

Tree Hut Vitamin C Shea Sugar Scrub

This was in my stocking for Christmas. I love these scrubs!

Hair Clips

 

These were also in my stocking. Thank goodness because I definitely needed more! I love the colors of these clips too.

Kitsch

 

*Also in my stocking* I can always use more hair ties!

Kitsch

 

*Also in my stocking* I really like these velvet scrunchies!

O Keeffe Lip Repair Lip Balm

*Also in my stocking* I have chronically dry lips, so here's hoping this helps!

Lily England Detangling Brush

*Also in my stocking* I love the color of this brush!

Tony Moly I'm Aloe Mask Sheet

*Also in my stocking* I love love love these sheet masks, so I'm always happy to get more.

Sun Bum Tinted Sunscreen Lip Balm

*Also in my stocking* I've never tried this brand before, but I'm interested to see how this works for me during the summer.

Que Bella Cleansing Aloe Vera Cream Mask

This was part of gift from a game we played with my in-laws on Christmas Eve. I love face masks, so I'm always happy to get new ones to try!

Hair Brush and Comb

This was a Christmas gift and came as a set. I've been wanting a wooden handled brush for quite some time now, but I keep forgetting to actually go out and buy one. I'm so happy to finally have one now!

Hair Bows

*Also in my stocking* I love hair bows! I haven't worn any in a long time though. I'm so ready to start wearing them again. These bows are so cute!

That's everything I got for now! Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful new year!

 

New Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend? We're finally feeling better around here. We caught covid for the first time at the beginning of the month. Thankfully, my son was only ill for 2 days, and my husband was mildly ill for about a week mostly with body aches and a headache. Unfortunately, I was miserable for a solid 2 weeks. That was the sickest I have ever been. Then, a week after I finally started feeling better, I got a tooth infection! Which, of course, didn't start hurting until Friday night after my dentist office closed, so I had to deal with the pain the entire weekend. It has been a rough month for sure, but I'm happy to say that we are all feeling fine now!

Anyway, on to the beauty stuff! Here are all of the new beauty products I picked up/received recently.

~Bath & Body Works Order~

Whipped Rose & Vanilla Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

I haven't seen this scent before, so I wanted to give it a try. It smells really good! I may go back for the body wash as well.

Blackberry & Basil Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

 

This is also a scent I haven't seen before. I thought it would smell divine, and I was right! I'm so glad I ordered the body wash to go with it.

 

Blackberry & Basil Shower Gel

Smells just as good as the body lotion!

Midnight Amber Glow Hand Cream

I got this because I wanted a small hand cream to keep in my purse. All of my other lotions and creams are in big tubes that take up a lot of space.

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Balm in Strawberry

I received this from BzzAgent for review. This is nice enough. It's thick and really helps hydrate my cracked, chapped lips. The only con is that it's REALLY thick and it doesn't really sink into the lips for quite a while. Because of that, I only use this at night.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh

I needed a new dry shampoo, and I like this brand.

Biore The Original Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

I have so many blackheads on my nose, and I hate them. Here's hoping this helps!

Flower Beauty Flower Pots Powder Blush in Sweet Pea

I don't have a lot of products from this brand, so I wanted to pick up some more. This blush looks nice, and I can't wait to try it out.

Flower Beauty Petal Pout Lip Scrub

I was in need of a new lip scrub, so I decided to try this one.

MAC Luster Glass Sheer Shine Lipstick in Put A Bow On It

The packaging! The color! Yes to all of it!

 

That's everything new that I picked up! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic week!

Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend? The last few days have been crazy and stressful for us. My husband was in a car accident on Thursday and his truck was totaled. Thankfully my husband is alright aside from some bruising and soreness. I'm so glad it wasn't worse!

On to better news, here are the new products I'm trying out!

Nars Pleasure Seeker Afterglow Lip Balm Set

I've been really into lip glosses and lip balms over lipstick lately. I saw this holiday set and wanted to give it a try. They feel comfortable on my lips, but they aren't at all hydrating.

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector

I have heard good things about this product, so when I saw it as a 100 point perk on Sephora's website I added it to my cart. I LOVE this! My hair looks and feels incredible after I use this. I've already purchased a full size bottle of this product...it's also in this beauty haul. lol

Dior Backstage Foundation sample in shade 1N

This shade matches my skin perfectly. It feels nice on my skin and doesn't look thick or cakey. I've only worn it once, and I plan on wearing it at least a few more times before I decide if I want to purchase this. So far though, this is really nice and I like how it looked on me.

Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette

This was half off on Sephora's website, and I've been DYING to purchase a Natasha Denona palette. I bit the bullet and just purchased this one. The shade range is beautiful and there's a good mix of shimmer and matte shades. The mirror is large and the hard plastic case feels sturdy.

First Aid Beauty Your Future Looks Fab Set

I love these FAB holiday sets! They are always an amazing deal, and I genuinely love this brand. I didn't NEED anymore skincare items, but I simply can't resist these sets.

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector

As you saw earlier in this post, I tried out a sample size of this product and loved it so much that a purchased a full size of it. It's really spendy for the amount that you get, but the results I get from using this product is worth it to me.

Dior Diorshow Mascara

I've used up this mascara once before and really liked how it makes my lashes look. When I saw it as a free sample on Sephora's website, I had to add it to my cart. I just wish this wasn't so heavily scented.

NARS Afterglow Lip Shine in Orgasm

This was sent to me free from BzzAgent for review. The formula is very thin and not sticky at all. The shade is very, very light. It almost looks clear on my lips with a sprinkle of sparkles.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick in Dare to Rouge

This was also sent to me from BzzAgent for review. The shade is darker and more orange than I thought it was going to be, but it isn't an awful color. I normally steer clear of orange shades because I don't think they look good with my complexion, but this shade is one I may actually wear on occasion. It's very opaque, so one application is more than enough. It is a matte shade so the formula is a bit dry, but not uncomfortably so.

 

Aveeno The Favorites Collection Gift Set

Please ignore the fact that this box is absolutely mangled. My 2 year old got to it. lol This was part of a Christmas gift. I've been using Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion for a long time, but I haven't tried much else from this brand. I'm excited to give these other two products a try.

 

 

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in Flexitarian

 

This is a stunning cream highlight! I'm so happy I finally decided to pick it up.

 

Ahava Dead Sea Water Mineral Hand Lotion

I love this hand lotion. I repurchase this all the time.

MAC Viva Glam x Keith Haring Lipstick in Red Haring

I thought the packaging on this was really cute, and you all know how much I love a red lipstick, so I just had to have this.

The Nubian Palette by Juvia's Place

I've been wanting to try out more products from Juvia's Place and I've heard amazing things about this palette. This palette is so nice! The shades are beautiful and they blend out so nicely.

 

Free makeup bag with samples

This was free from Ulta with $70+ purchase. There's a TON of samples in here!

 

DPHue Color Fresh Dry Texture Spray

I received this free from BzzAgent for review. I don't like this. It smells okay, but it leaves a crunchy, sticky residue in my hair that I am not at all a fan of. I'm pretty sure this is clear. I have dark roots right now and I didn't notice any white in my hair. That's the only thing I like about this product though.

 

 

ACO Skincare

 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for review. I was given four products to try out: Renewing Daily Cleanser, Rescue Mist, Perfecting Serum, and Purifying Day Cream. I've never heard of this brand before but I'm always up for trying new products. I'll leave a review here on my blog after I've used them for a while.

 

 

Paul Mitchell The Conditioner

 

I bought this because I'm an idiot. lol! I ran out of conditioner and wanted to try out a "better" brand (I've been using drugstore brands for forever), so I grabbed this thinking it was a regular conditioner. It's not. It's a leave in conditioner. Haha! It's alright though, I'll use it. I ended up ordering the Ghost Shampoo and Conditioner from the brand Verb instead. I tried out a sample of them and I really liked them.

 

 Givenchy Le Rouge Deep Velvet Lunar New Year Edition Lipstick in 37 Rouge

I love the lunar new year packaging on this lipstick! Also, it's red, so you know I had to have it.

 

 That's everything for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
