Beauty Haul

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? My birthday was last Monday. Unfortunately, I had to work. However, I did get off at 1:30, so I still had the rest of the day to enjoy with my family.

I can't believe it's summer already! This year is flying by. What are your favorite beauty products to use during the summer? Anyway, here are the beauty products I've picked up and received recently.

Verb Ghost Hair Mask

I saw this on sale on Sephora's website for $10, and since I already have the shampoo and conditioner in this line I figured I'd try it out.

Sol De Janiero Bom Dia Bright Cream

This was a freebie with my Sephora order. I've tried their Bum Bum Cream, but the scent is just too strong for me. Hopefully, this is better!

Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes in Strobe Light

I'm kinda bummed that I spent $25 on this teeny, tiny jar. I thought it was going to be bigger. Here's hoping that it's amazing and makes up for the cost.

Si Passione Eclat Eau De Parfum by Giorgio Armani

I received this complimentary from BzzAgent for review. I love the red bottle because red is my favorite color. I like the scent, but it is a little bit more mature smelling for me. It's not bad, but it isn't something I would go out and purchase either.

These next few items were gifts for my birthday.

Heatless curlers

These are from Amazon, and I am so excited to try these out! I saw someone on Tik Tok use these and the curls are beautiful.

ILNP Nail Polishes in Rainshower and Fairy Floss

 

I love this brand of nail polish. Their holographic polishes are to die for. I'm so glad I get to add these to my collection.

Sigma x Samantha Ravndahl Brush Set

Can you believe I've never purchased a Sigma brush before? I don't know why, but they just never interested me. Then Samantha had to go and create a brush set with them and here I am with my first Sigma brushes.

Practk by Sigma Liner Brush

I don't really have anything to say about this one, but the handle is pretty cute.

Sigma Disney Princess Cinderella Lip Duo in Magical Lip Gloss and Dreamy Liquid Lipstick

 

These are beautiful lip colors that look amazing together!

 Sigma F28 Powder/Bronzer Brush

 

I've heard great things about this brush, so I'm kinda excited to use it.

 

Tula Skincare 24/7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream

This was my free birthday gift from Ulta this year.

 

I ordered a few things from Sephora (again, I know) and scored some freebie there too!

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$y

I had to double check that this wasn't the exact same shade as Fenty Glow. They are very similar, but this gloss is pink toned while Fenty Glow has a brown tone. I for sure thought they were the same color at first though!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sarafine

Can you also believe that I've never purchased an ABH liquid lipstick before? Lol, idk why but I just never got around to it. I love a blue toned red, so I decided to get this shade.

SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence

This was a free offer with purchase. I've used this before and really like it, but the full size bottle is just so expensive.

Tatcha Trio

This was the free birthday gift I chose from Sephora this year.

  

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

 

Beauty Product Empties - June 2017

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  God, can you believe it's July already?!

I finished off a few more beauty products last month (not included in my annual Project Empty challenge) and wanted to give you my thoughts on them.

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner face mask - This starts out clear and turns a pale blue shade when it's time to remove it.  The cooling sensation feels nice and this doesn't feel extremely tight on the skin after it dries.  However, I didn't notice a difference in the size or amount of my blackheads after using this.  Because of that, I won't be purchasing the full size of this (especially since the full size is $47.00 for 1 ounce).

Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - I initially really liked the scent of this lotion, until I applied this all over my body.  The scent is overwhelmingly strong and it takes a long time to fade.  As a moisturizer, this is okay.  It's very thick but it blends out and absorbs fairly quickly.  I did notice that I had dry, flaky patches on my arms after using this that weren't there before and are gone now that I've switched back to my regular body lotion.  So for those reasons, and the $45.00 price tag, I won't be purchasing the full size of this.
 

Hey Honey Good Morning face serum - This felt so nice on my skin.  It's supposed to brighten your skin, but unfortunately I didn't notice any difference after using this.

 
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a fun and safe 4th of July!
