Skin Care Haul

Hello! Today I'm sharing a skin care haul! I seem to have run out of everything at the same time, so I made a trip to Ulta and Target. Some of these are repurchases for me, and some a new!

I ran out of my self tanner so I repurchased the NKD SKN self tan from Ulta. I like this because its organic and made with natural ingredients. It's not my favorite that I've ever tried, but it's affordable, dries really fast, and has a minimal scent to it!

I also repurchased the Dr. Bronners Pure Castile soap in the Hemp Almond scent. I use this stuff for body wash and for hand soap in my bathrooms and kitchen. This stuff is amazing, and its seriously the best makeup brush/sponge cleanser!

The next repurchase for me is the Burt's Bees Acne Solutions Toner. I could not wait to repurchase this again, and I'm so excited to have it back in my skin care routine. I was also going to purchase the Acne Solutions Cleanser that I raved about in my July Favorites  post on Monday, but neither Target nor Ulta had it in stock. I was a bit annoyed because I really love it, but I took this as an opportunity to try a different cleansers from Burt's Bees instead since I've had good luck with their skin care. I picked up the Gentle Foaming Cleanser with is for normal to combo skin. I'll do a review on it once I try it out for a bit.

I wanted a new face mask since I ran out of all of mine, and the only one that interested me was the Formula 10.06 Pores be Pure Skin Clarifying Mud Mask. I haven't tried anything from this brand before, but I remember being interested in it a while ago! They had a few different mud masks, and I chose this one because it has Kaolin Clay in the ingredients, and my skin responds well to it. I'll also do a review for this once I try it out for a while!

And the last product I picked up is the Derma E Purifying Detox Scrub. I reviewed this a while ago (here!) when I was sent some Derma E products from Brandbacker. I really loved this scrub, so I wanted to repurchased it when I ran out!

Covergirl Lash Perfection Mascara Review

Hello!! I recently purchased the Covergirl Lash Perfection Mascara from Target and wanted to share a review for it here on my blog. This is a mascara that I have heard great things about and have been meaning to pick up for a while. I use to use Covergirl mascaras a long time ago, but I haven't used one since I have discovered other drugstore mascaras that I loved more. I was excited to try this because I haven't used this brand in a long time so I was curious how I was going to like this. 

The wand for this is rubbery and plastic and the bristles are made of rubber also. I usually prefer mascara that have the regular bristle hairs on them.

Here are my lashes with no mascara on.

Here is one coat of the Lash Perfection mascara on my top lashes.

Here is two coats of the mascara on the top lashes, and one coat on the bottom.

This mascara makes my lashes look really long and spidery. 

My Thoughts on this Product

I actually really like this mascara. It has really good formulation because it's not too wet or too dry. Sometimes when mascaras are too wet they make my lashes stick together really bad and I usually have to wait a week or so for it to dry out so I can use it. This mascara was the perfect consistency when I opened it and first applied it. 

I like mascaras that give my lashes volume and length at the same time, and this mascara did both. It applies really nice and easily, but on the second coat my lashes clumped a little bit. 

You can purchase this mascara for around $6 at the drugstore. It's really great for an affordable price!
