Lush and Bath & Body Works HAUL!

Hey beauties!

So I did some shopping and wanted to share everything I got with you!

I went to Bath and Body works to stock up on a few things and as well I went to Lush to restock a few things and try out some new products. So lets get into it :) Lush first <3

LUSH

Ill start with the things I restocked on

Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub- I wasn't to keen on this product when I first got it but after fell in love! Such a great exfoliator and body scrub! Very expensive though, not sure I will repurchase again sadly. Not because of the product, only because of the price.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner- I am only about half way done my first one of these but I wanted a backup on hand since the colder months are coming and my skin gets very dry and this product is amazing! it is so moisturizing and the smell is so warm and nice. Seriously go smell this product! Especially if you have dry skin cause this is perfect! You'll want it in your life too!!

New Products I picked up

Sympathy for the Skin Hand and Body Lotion- I really wanted to try on of their body lotions and I wanted to find one that complimented Ro's Argan nicely, so I ended up with this one. It has a very nice subtle scent, they say it smells of banana custard which I can for sure smell that but just a very light scent of it. It isn't overly thick which is nice because I hate to feel like a have a lot of lotion on. I haven't used this product yet so if you guys want me to let you know how it is please leave me a comment below!

Mask of Magnaminty- Peppermint, kaolin, and scrubby aduki beans... YUP SOLD! The smell and description sold me on this product. Cant wait to use it! Again let me know if you want me to maybe do a review of this product :)

Godmother Soap- I got a sample of this last time I was at Lush and just needed a full size bar. Actually I got two bars lol. It smells like Swedish berries!!! And gets your skin very clean! bonus bonus! I literally can not stop smelling this soap..

I also got some bubble bars (which smell amazing!) and some other bath things for my daughter but I have already put them away.

Next up...

Bath and Body Works

I only picked up hand soaps and candles.. since the hand soaps are already put away and some are in use im not going to really talk about them because they really aren't that interesting lol I will list the scents that I got though :)

-Pumpkin Cupcake

-Warm vanilla sugar

-Crisp morning air

-Black cherry Merlot (2) yes it smells THAT good!

-A walk in the woods

-Kitchen Lemon

CANDLES!!!

I really wish these candles were not so expensive! But they do smell incredible so I justify it lol

Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding- I got a 3 wick big candle of this scent and a small mason jar one. I think this one might be newer but regardless it smells so so good! You have to smell it for yourself to understand!

Pumpkin Cupcake- I liked the candle so much I ended up getting the hand soap to go with it. Literally smells like a pumpkin cupcake. Some of the other ones I found were to strong but this one is very nice in scent. Waiting for October to burn this one :)

Marshmellow Fireside- I was so upset they didn't have any 3 wick candles of this scent! I guess it is just that popluar, and I know why! I have never smelt anything like this before. It smells like fall/ winter to me. I could burn this candle through till spring and not get sick of it. Since they didn't have any larger ones I ended up getting 2 small 1 wick candles. I will be going back to see if I can get a few big ones cause I love it that much!

And that concludes my haul!

Hope you guys enjoyed seeing/reading what I got!

My 10 Favorite Products of ALL TIME!

Hey everyone!

So when I asked on Instagram what kind of blog post I should do, the first response was what my favourite or least favourite products. Since I already did my 5 beauty flops post I thought I would do my 10 favorite products of all time! This post was meant to only be 5 but I couldn't narrow it down to only 5 so it became 10! These will be the products that I simply cannot be without, whether they are newer to my makeup routine or if they have been around and repurchased many times. So lets get into it :)

1. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24hr Foundation

I'm sure many of you seen this one coming lol. If you follow me on Instagram and see my makeup of the day pictures, you will usually find this foundation somewhere in there. This is like my holy grail foundation. It is full coverage, matte, and long wearing. This foundation is full coverage without it being heavy or thick on the skin. I do have a post about this product so you can check it out for more info on it! Oh and it is a pump foundation..like YAAAAASSSSSS. Love pump foundations!!

2. Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution

This is a product that I have repurchased so many times I have lost count. I seriously love this product. Definitely my holy grail makeup remover/cleanser. It is so easy to use its ridiculous. All you do is squirt or pump ( depending on the bottle) the product onto a cosmetic round pad and you go over your whole face and your makeup is totally removed and all the dirt and icky stuff your skin has collected through the day or night is taken off. Small little fun fact about this product...if for some reason I have pen on my hand, I grab this stuff and it takes it off like its nothin. Also it removes hair dye off the skin! I have personally tried this and it WORKS! It's such a great powerful cleanser with so many different uses YET it is gentle enough to not irritate skin. The texture is literally like water. If you have never tried this product I would for sure you recommend trying it, even if you get a sample to try. It's worth it!

3. Sigma Flat Top Kabuki Brush F-80

Best foundation brush of life. I can not apply foundation any other way now, I must always use this brush. It is amazing and the hype is real. Everyone is loving it for a reason. I jumped on board quite a few months ago and I haven't turned back since. Don't think I could use another foundation for the foreseeable future. Enough said. HOLY GRAIL FOUNDATION BRUSH!

 

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz AND Benefits Gimme Brow

So I had to put these products into one since I use them together and for me it is the perfect combo for my brows. I keep backups on hand cause you never know. Sometimes I will use a different brow pencil and it is just never as good as the brow wiz! No matter what pencil I use I always top it with gimme brow. I don't know why but I just love the look it gives. It's just perfection. Two absolute FAVORITE brow products!!

5. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner in Intense Black

Favourite liner ever! It is so black and so user friendly. I love how the product comes out and I love how's it does not budge once it dries. This is one of those products that I have a backup of in my drawer. 

6. Maybelline Mascaras

I had to generalize this because I love most Maybelline mascaras. Maybelline is my favorite brand for mascaras. Right now "the rocket" one is my favorite. It is so lengthening and just the perfect brush. check out my last blog post for more info about why I love Maybelline mascaras!

7. Nivea Hydrating Lip Balm

I have tried so many lip balms and I always go back to this one. It is not to thick on the lips but yet it is very moisturizing. I don't have a picture of this product right now because sadly my daughter got into it so I need to repurchase asap. This is the light blue one just in case any of you wanted to try it.

8. Kat Von D Everlasting Blushes

So far I only have 2 of these and I always find myself reaching for these over any other blush I have. They are very pigmented and blend very nicely. They are expensive but you really only need to use a little bit of product so it is very much worth the money. You get quite a bit of product as well. A few reasons why I love these!

9. Benefit Porefessional

Another product that I have a backup of because nothing compares to this primer! I have tried so many primers and still try to use different ones but I just cant stop grabbing for this one. It goes on so soft and really does fill in my larger pores. Since you only really need a small amount of product it lasts for months. One little tip about this product is you can throw it in your purse and apply it over foundation throughout the day for touch ups where needed. Wonderful FAVORITE PRODUCT!

10. Pur Minerals Miracle Mist

This product has probably made a few monthly favorites. I seriously love this product! It is so refreshing and revitalizing. I don't use it as a setting spray though, I only use it as like a spray toner because I find it is hydrating and feels amazing after cleansing. I am running low on this product and need to repurchase asap! Best thing is that you can a fairly big bottle and it is so inexpensive for the amount you get. A must have in my books for sure and definitely an all time fav!

I hope you all enjoyed my top 10 favorite products of all time!

Comment below and let me know what products are your all time favorites and you just cant live without!

Until next time xoxo

All About Mascara!

This post is all about MASCARAS!!
I am only going to be talking about the ones I have tried which include new ones and not so new ones. And I will be letting you guys know my real true feelings about them.
Spoiler Alert! Most of these are drug store because I truly love drug store mascaras!!

I am going to put them by brand so hopefully that will be a little easier for you guys!

Maybelline (My favorite brand for mascaras)

One by one- This has been my ultimate favorite mascara for years. It always has done exactly what I wanedt it to do, which is long length a subtle but noticeable volume. It has a small rubber brush which I really like because it is not messy at all and great for bottom lashes. Always, always recommend this product!

The Rocket- I really enjoyed this product. It has a short thick rubber brush that is perfect for separating lashes and giving both length and volume! I did find it could be a little messy while applying but I still really like it regardless. I do recommend this one as well.

Pumped up(newest Maybelline mascara)- I really did not like this product at all. I found it so messy and the formula and way wetter then I prefer. The brush is bristle and it is very big. Too big in my opinion. Messy and clumpy. Sorry guys but I wouldn't recommend this one.

L'OREAL

Miss Manga- The brush on this is insane! no ones can describe it so I am just going to put up a picture of it. I actually don't mind the brush, I think its pretty cool and does exactly what it says it will. Unfortunately I find this formula very wet and takes to long to dry so I always end up smudging it by accident. I do like this but would only recommend it if you like a wet formula and intense volume.

Voluminous carbon black - I love this mascara! The brush is what I like to think of as a standard bristle brush and it works awesome. I love pairing it with either the miss manga or the rocket mascara. Only complaint I would have is I find sometimes the brush can have more product on it then I would like but I will still repurchase and recommend it.

Smashbox

Full Exposure- Very big bristle brush that is way way to big not to be messy. I disliked everything about this product and ended up giving it away. It was so sloppy and barely did anything to my lashes other then a tiny bit of length. I would not recommend purchasing this product at all, you can find a better one for a way lesser price.

Sample Size Mascaras Will I purchase a full size...or not?

Lancôme Hypnose Drama- The brush is like wavy and is bristle so I was skeptical. At first I really liked it but once I used it a few times the brush started to get clumpy and it was not pretty. I don't know if a full size will do that but id rather save my money so sadly I will not purchase a full size.

Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant- AMAZING! I love this mascara so dearly. The bristle is so great (ill add picture). The length I get it this is incredible and no clumping. The brush is on the bigger side so it can be a little messy but it is so worth it! Definitely will be purchasing full size!

Too Faced Better then Sex- I am glad I got to try this sample size but to be honest I didn't find it really did much for me. I found the brush odd and just not my type of brush that I could use. It ended up just sitting in my mascara drawer and me never reaching for it. I know a lot of people really like this mascara so I would be willing to try it again down the line.

I hope this helps you guys in your search for the right mascara for you! I know that it is a very personal thing and all about preference. If you guys have any questions about the products I mentioned or wondering about tips, please don't hesitate to comment below.

Thank you for reading xoxo

You guys mean so much to me <3
