New to My Collection: Mini Bath & Body Works Haul

By M.C. -
Every few months or so, I find myself embarking on a Bath and Body Works spree. In recent years, I've managed to get my obsession a bit more under control (it was really out of hand for a while, and I had built up quite the stock pile of B&BW products). However, when I see a B&BW sale going on, sometimes I can't resist. That happened to me recently, thus I have a B&BW haul to share with you:

Ultra Shea Body Cream in Rose - As this blog post will probably communicate to you, I really enjoy rose scented things, and I always enjoy B&BW lotions, so the two of them together are a match made in heaven for me. The Ultra Shea Body Cream is particularly nice; it's very rich and creamy and luxurious. I'm definitely going to enjoy this lotion.


Fine Fragrance Mist in Rose - I really enjoy B&BW's fragrance mists; I have a bunch of them. They're affordable, yet high quality, and the scents tend to be long lasting. I really enjoy this particular fragrance because, as I noted above, I love rose scented things. In fact, I've been looking for an affordable scent that is just rose for a long time. So, I was delighted to realize that B&BW makes this product. It smells like a high-end perfume for an affordable price. If you like rose scented perfumes, I highly recommend checking this one out.


Shea & Vitamin E Shower Gel in Rose - I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I really love B&BW shower gels. They're really concentrated, so you get a lot of use out of a small amount of product. Plus, the scents are great, and they linger on the skin. You're probably sensing a theme here, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that I picked up this product in the scent rose.


Almond Scented Candle - Candles are, obviously, not beauty products. However, I like talking about them on this blog sometimes. I picked up this candle partially because I enjoy almond scented things and partially because the packaging was beautiful. I'm looking forward to burning this candle this spring.

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...
