LUSH HAUL

Hi beautiful people!

Today I'm sharing a lush haul along with a few Mac goodies that I picked up. 

A few of these items were Christmas gifts and others were purchases with gift cards that I received for Xmas. You all know that I swear by Lush products and a lot of these are repurchase for me!

First up is the Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh face mask that I've repurchased tons of times. I got this one free from bringing back 5 clean empty containers to the store. Next is the Celestial Moisturizer, which I've talked about a million times. It's by far the best Moisturizer that I've ever used.

Next is the Sleepy Hand and Body Lotion. This is a new product to me and it's by far the best hand lotion from Lush that I've used. I've loved the other lotions I've tried from Lush as well but this one is definitely the winner. It's s sweet lavender scent and I'm obsessed.

The Honey Trap lip balm is another product that I've purchased quite a bit of times from Lush. No lip balm that I've tried compares to this.

And the Bubbly Shower Gel is another new product for me. This is a mini size that came with a gift set I received for Christmas. It's an amazing shower gel, smells amazing, and also doesn't dry out my already dry skin (thanks winter!). I'll definitely be purchasing a full size of this in the future.

Next up are some bath bombs. From left to right are Yoga Bomb, Twilight, and Golden Wonder. I've tried all 3 of these before and love them all.

And on the bottom of those photo is the Fresh Pharmacy Face Bar. I tried a sample of this and fell in love. I couldn't wait to purchased a huge piece of it and this is now my daily face cleanser. *Does anyone want to see a updated skin care routine?*

Lastly are two goodies from Mac. I ran out of my Pro Longwear concealer so that is a repurchase from me. I also wanted a new blush and picked out Mac Pro Longwear blush in Make You Mine. If anyone is interest in a review for this blush with swatches let me know!

Have you tried any of these products before? If so, let me know your thoughts on them in the comments!

Lush Haul | Bath Bombs and Skin Care!

Hello! Welcome to my first Lush haul of 2016!

My mom got me a Lush gift card for Christmas which made me super excited. I love Lush (as you all probably know) but I don't get to go very often since there is only 3 in Michigan and they are all almost an hour away from my house. I don't order online usually for a few different reasons- mainly because the shipping takes forever and is usually kind of expensive, and also I like to see the products in person and ask questions about them. Their bath bombs can easily break a little in the mail (which you will see me rant about in the video!). 

Anyways, I did end up ordering online because some of their items were buy one get one free, so I could not pass up that deal. Most were bath products and from the holiday collections, so I got some of those, and some skin care items that I've been wanting to try out as well!

Sorry for the crappy quality of this photo, with all the shadows and bad lighting! I really wanted to use one of the bath bombs when my order arrived, and I kind of forgot to take a photo for the video thumbnail and blog post until after it was dark outside and the lighting wasn't very good.

Anyways, enjoy my haul video!

Also- I've switched the comment section to the Google+ one. I've been wanting to change the comment section of my blog for a while now, but I haven't due to laziness. I like how to Google+ and Disqus notifies you when someone responds to your comments. On the original blogger one, you have to click notify me, and it notifies you when everyone comments and you have to go back thriough and see when the blog owner replies. Google+ and Disqus emails you directly and its just easier. I reply to every comment on my blog, and I want my followers to see when I reply and see my response so thats why I changed it! I originally wanted the Disqus system but it seemed complicated and since my dumbs is no good with tech things, I didn't feel like dealing with it so I went with Google+ and it was super easy! Do you guys like this form of commenting better?

Sephora VIB Sale + Lush Haul

Hello! I wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow!

Today I'm sharing what I purchased during the Sephora VIB sale, and some goodies I picked up from Lush while I was at the mall!

I really wanted to film a video for this, but I'm having issues with my memory card. Every time I try to delete the files from my Mac, it tells me that it's unable to delete them. I also went to get a new memory card from target yesterday, but my dumbass got distracted by all the targetness that target has, and forgot. 

Anyways- I just decided to do a blog post because otherwise I'd have to wait till next week to film. I still will film a haul of any of you want to see the products in action, so let me know. 

Long intro/rant aside, let's get into the haul!

Sephora 

First thing I picked up was the Stila Holiday gift set. This was a totally impulse buy, and I don't usually gravitate towards Stila products. But I think this set is nice since it comes with a lot. It has a shadow palette with 5 shades, a blush bronzer and highlight trio which you all know I'm a sucker for, a lip gloss, and an eye liner. 

I picked up the Becca highlighter in Moonstone, which I already did a review on. 

The last thing I picked up was this Nars shadow duo in Kalahari. 

With my points I chose a delux size of the Philosophy Miracle worker night cream. I didn't get much from Sephora because I was trying not to go crazy like I did last year. I didn't need much, but I knew I wanted a Nars duo and the Becca highlight. 

Lush 

I picked up two bath bombs, both I haven't tried before. Yog Nog is on the Left, and Yoga bomb on the right. I had to get the yoga one because well, it's call yoga bomb. 

Next I wanted to get another of the Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask. The last thing is the Celestial Face Moisturizer. I tried a sample of this a long time ago and I've been wanting the full size for a while. My skin has been super unhappy lately so I decided to splurge and get this! 

I will definitely be doing a review for the Stila set, the Nars duo, the Lush Moisturizer, and I'll probably share both bath bombs either on here or my Instagram! I also have a makeup tutorial using the Stila set that I need to edit!

Drugstore & Lush Haul

Hello beautiful people!! I feel like I haven't blogged in forever. I tried to keep up on everyone's blog posts while I was out of town. I think I did a good job but if I missed any of your posts please let me know so I can check them out!

Even when I'm on vacation, I still somehow find a way to go shopping and buy makeup. True makeup addict right here. 

While I was away I found some drugstore makeup items that I wanted to try out, and I also went to a lush store and got a few things. 

1. Lush Bath Bombs in Dragons Egg and Twlight. They didn't have any new ones to try out so I picked up Dragons Egg because it's my favorite, and I've tried Twilight before but I don't remember it. I also got a Tea Tree Toner Tab which is a facial steamer. 

2. Lush Fresh Face Mask in Catastrophe Cosmetic. I have never tried their fresh face masks before so I was pretty excited about this. The toner tab I got was to use with this to open my pores before I apply it. I will be doing a review for both of these in upcoming 'skin care Sunday' posts!

3. Wet n Wild MegaGlo illuminating powder in Catwalk Pink. I've never seen these before and I was curious because it was only $3.99. It's more of a blush but the name sounds like it would be a highlight. I also got the Loreal True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator in Rose. Everyone seems to be talking about these but I've been obsessed with highlighters lately so I wanted to try one. 

4.  I got two of the Loreal La Lacque lip crayons. For some reason I can't find the names of these on the tube. I got a pinky mauve shade and a raspberry shade which is super bold for me. I will be doing a review on these soon and hopefully can find the names of them! The last thing I picked up a Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in the shade Kisses. This one is a dark mauve shade that's on the more purple side. 

This completes my haul post! I hope you all enjoyed reading!

Have you tried any of these items before? I'd so, leave your thoughts on them in the comments! 

Beauty + Makeup Haul #13- Sephora, Ulta, Lush, and Mac!

It's safe to say I did some damage. I have a quite large beauty haul to share today! I got a 20% off coupon for one item at Ulta and then Mac's Alluring Aquatic Collection was released online, I went to a mall that had a full sized Sephora and Lush and I just keep making up all these excuses of why I bought so much stuff LOL!

These were all the things from Sephora, Ulta, and Mac. I forgot to include the Lush items so I will put them below in a seperate picture. 

From Ulta 

So I needed a new eye brow pencil so I repurchased the Anastasia Brow Wiz, and I also repurchased the Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation. I picked up two more of the Nyx Butter Glosses because after trying one of these, I was completely obsessed. I got them in the colors Creme Burlee (left) and Angel Food Cake (right). 

From Sephora 

I have been wanting to try a new self tanner for a while and have heard nothing but great things about St. Tropez. I got the St. Tropez Gradual Tanner Firming Lotion. Self tanning scares, me so that's why I opted for a gradual one. They had the regular version of it which came in light/medium or medium/dark. I didn't know what color to get so that's why I got the Firming one. It didn't offer a color choice so I went with that one so I wasn't confused lol. I also picked up the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I have been wanting to try this stuff for so long!

I used 500 of my Beauty insider points to get this St. Tropez self tanner set. It comes with delux sizes of the body bronzer, the gradual tanner in medium/dark, a face tanner, a mini tanning mit and the self tanner mouse. 

From Mac

Ok I had to have some of this Alluring Aquatic Collection. I mean come on the packaging is to die for! They were pretty much sold out online when I went to order so I got one eyeshadow and one lip stick.

The eyeshadow is in the color Lorelei and the lipstick is called Siren Song.  I will be doing a separate post on both these items very soon! 

From Lush 

I picked up the Enchanted Eye Cream and the Tea Tree Water Toner. The toner is a repurchase for me and I have tired samples of the eye cream before. I totally went crazy and got a ton of bath bombs and bath melts too. I didn't include them in the picture because I used some of them already and they just aren't as exciting as the other things I got!

I hope yo hall enjoyed the haul post and thank you for reading! 

Beauty Haul #3- Target, Lush, and the Balm

Hello Everyone! If you read my blog, you will soon find out that I have a shopping problem. I buy way too much makeup and beauty products!! I'm going to share all of my recents beauty product purchases which are from Target, Lush, and some makeup from the Balm that I got off of Hautelook a few weeks ago when it was on sale.

From Target

The first two items I picked up are the Olay oil minimizing toner and the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. These are products that I always repurchase, and I'm almost out of the ones I'm using now. 

These are two products I've never used before. I was wanting to try this Maybelline Clean Express makeup remover but I kept forgetting to pick it up. I thought it looks different than other kinds because the product kind of looks like a gel so I was curious about how this would work. They also have a lotion formula and a liquid one thats for waterproof makeup. I also picked up these Simple cleansing facial wipes because I have been on the hunt for a new kind. I recently tried some by Olay but didn't like them, and I am tired of my Neutrogena ones. These are also cheaper than the Neutrogena ones, and since I go through so many of them they can get expensive!

 This first product is the Covergirl & Olay simple ageless Foundation. Since I liked the Covergirl & Olay simply ageless eye corrector, I thought I would try the Foundation. I love trying new foundations lately and I also love the Covergirl outlast foundation so I am excited to try out this one. The next makeup product is the L'Oreal carbon black extra intense liquid eye pencil. This is the thrid L'Oreal eyeliner I've bought this month (ugh I have a problem!). I recently heard that this is really comparable and a good dupe for the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in perversion, which is why I picked it up because that is my all time favorite eyeliner. Since the UD one is so expensive, I would love a cheaper alternative! The last item I picked up from Target was this little Elf Kabuki brush. 

From the Balm 

The Balm was on Hautelook a few weeks ago and I got really excited because I have always wanted the Mary Lou Manizer. I love buying makeup off of Hautelook because everything is so cheap! I also picked up an eyeshadow and crease brush, and a loose eyeshadow pigment. 

I absolutely love this highlighter. It's so pretty and it applies so nice to my skin. 

This pigment is really pretty as well. I believe it's called If you're Rich, I'm Single.

Here are swatches of the eyeshadow and the highlighter. 

From Lush

OK, I'm super addicted to these bath bombs by lush. I'm obsessed with using these for some reason. I placed an online order from Lush's website last week because I was buying a gift for someone, so I decided to order 4 bath bombs as well. 

The first one is called Dragons Egg, which is my favorite bath bomb so far. This is my 3rd time buying it and it's probably one that I will always purchase. The second one is called Pink Mini, which I really liked as well. It turned the water hot pink and it smells soo good! 

The next two are called Uluru and Butterball. These are two that I have not tried yet before. I think the Uluru is one that you can only purchase from online. 

This completes my haul, I hope you all enjoyed and thank you for reading!
