Mini Bath & Body Works Haul

By M.C. -
If you've read my blog for any length of time, you probably know that I use and enjoy a lot of Bath & Body Works products. Obviously, I think Bath & Body Works is a great brand; however, I haven't actually purchased Bath & Body Works products for a while because I had this huge stockpile of Bath & Body Works stuff. As you may or may not have noticed, I'm a person who gets carried away when things go on sale. Bath & Body Works is constantly having buy three, get two free sales and stuff like that. So, long story short, a few years ago I went on a Bath & Body Works kick and ended up with a billion bottles of body wash and lotion. Anyway, I've finally started to run low on B&BW products, so I felt justified in buying some B&BW stuff (especially since they were having such good sales last week). 
Plus, I'm all about that three wick candle. 

Ultra Shea Body Cream in Waikiki Beach Coconut ($13.00) - You guys know that I am obsessed with coconut. Like, seriously, I want to live inside a giant coconut. That's how much I love coconut things, and Waikiki is a great coconut scent. I mean, obviously, it smells like coconut, but it also has this beachy undertone that I really like. I have the Waikiki fragrance mist, and I absolutely love it, so I'm really excited to use this lotion. Plus, the packaging is super cute (seriously, it's a toucan, how adorable is that?). I think B&BW rebranded the packaging for several of their scents lately, and, I have to say, the results are pretty great. Plus, let's be real, Waikiki is fun to say.


Ultra Shea Body Cream in Fiji Pineapple Palm ($13.00) - Again, how pretty is this packaging? Seriously, I love the hummingbird; it's so elegant. Anyway, as I said, I love B&BW lotion, and--aside from that--this scent is super great. It's a very nice summery, fruity scent, and I'm super excited to use it.


Shower Gel in Waikiki Beach Coconut ($12.50) - If you've read my blog, you know that I love B&BW shower gel. I've used other shower gels in the past, and I find that I have to use a lot more product to get the same result (ie being clean). So, although it's kind of an expensive shower gel, I think it's worth the money. Plus, as I already said, I'm all about coconut scented things, and Waikiki is a great scent.


Shower Gel in Moonlight Path ($12.50) - As I said above, I love B&BW shower gel. A little bit of this product goes a LONG way, so one bottle lasts a long time. This particular scent, Moonlight Path, is one of my favorites. It's a very clean, floral scent. B&BW describes it as "a lush garden blend of fresh jasmine, blue violets, sheer lavender & soft musk," which is just the sort of scent I like. I'm a big fan of floral scents.


Fine Fragrance Mist in Moonlight Path ($14.00) - As I said above, I love Moonlight Path. It's a nice, floral scent that's perfect for everyday. Plus, in my experience, floral scents last longer on the skin than other scents. I try not to wear by more expensive perfumes on an everyday basis because, if I'm going to use a super expensive product, I'd rather it be some sort of special occasion. However, this is a relatively cheap fragrance that smells expensive.


3-Wick Candle in Island Margarita ($22.50) - I don't think I've written about this on this blog before, but I love candles. They give any room a warm, homey vibe. Plus, they make everything smell great, which, after all, is the point of scented candles. Lately, I've been really into Candles by Victoria, but I also love B&BW candles--especially the three wick candles. The three wick candles last forever and, when they're burned up, you can use the container for makeup brushes or cotton balls. This particular scent, Island Margarita, is very fruity and summer-y. B&BW works describes the scent as "Sweet Mandarin, Island Mango, and Sea Salt." I think it'll be perfect for summer.


3-Wick Candle in Tomato Vine ($22.50) - Out of all my purchases, I'm most excited about this candle. I have this weird love of the smell of tomato leaves. I can't stand tomatoes, but the smell of tomato leaves is one of my favorite smells in the world. (By the way, in case you were wondering, you can't eat tomato leaves because they're toxic, but, if you could, I bet they would taste better than tomatoes). This candle smells exactly like tomato leaves, and I'm super excited that it exists. It's such a particular, specific smell that I'm surprised a brand like B&BW has created a candle based on it. I can't imagine that there are many people--besides me--who are crazy about the tomato leaf smell. However, I do think it would be a nice scent for the kitchen.


Anyway, that's what I got at Bath & Body Works recently. Let me know what your favorite B&BW product is in the comments.

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

By M.C. -

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m...

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

By M.C. -

A few months ago, I started a series called New to My Collection, in which I talk about products that I've recently added to my makeup collection and what I think about them. I didn't get a ton of new things in November, so some of these things are from October. However, I want to talk about them anyway and give you my thoughts. So, without further ado, here are some products that were new to my collection in November: Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender by L'Oreal - You can stick a fancy name on a makeup sponge, but it's still just a makeup sponge and that's what this is. Personally, I think this sponge is just okay. However, I should say that I prefer sponges with a flat edge. I think this sponge is a good size, has good density, and is very good about not soaking up all your makeup. It gives nice coverage and all of that jazz; I just wish it had a flat side. That being said, I think it's a great value for the money ($8) and I would recommend picking...
