The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

Guys, I've been shopping A LOT lately. It seems like there have been so many good sales and deals lately, way too good to pass up. So, I thought I'd put together a new to my collection blog; I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd share some of the products I picked up recently. Peppermint Twist Goat Milk Lip Balm by Dionis - I wear lip balm everyday, and my favorite brand of lip balm is Dionis. It's cheap, and the formula is very creamy and moisturizing. Plus, the brand makes great scents. I ran out of the Dionis lip balm that I was using, so I picked up this balm in their peppermint scent. It's very refreshing, and, more importantly, very moisturizing. I highly recommend it. Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream by Mario Badescu - My favorite eye cream is Clinique's All About Eyes. Unfortunately, however, it's quite expensive, so I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. So, I decided to pick up the Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream by Mario Bad...

As I've said before, I love writing empties blogs, but I haven't had a chance to write an empties blog in a while. So, I have a LOT of empties to talk about today. Let's get to it! Aventurine Crystal Setting Spray by ColourPop - At first, I wasn't the biggest fan of ColourPop's crystal sprays; I thought that they were just okay. However, after using the Aventurine Crystal Setting Spray up completely, I have to say that it did grow on me. The sprayer was not good at all; it left big droplets on the face. However, the formula itself was pretty decent, especially when layered with other setting sprays. I think ColourPop discontinued this spray, so I can't repurchase it, but I did like it. Amethyst Crystal Priming Spray by ColourPop - I have to say that I like ColourPop's crystal priming sprays more than their crystal setting sprays. They're very light primers, if that makes sense. I haven't really been into using a lot of primer lately, so I...

It's been a while since I've written a New to my Collection post. Basically, I write these posts to give myself a chance to talk about makeup products that I wouldn't normally talk about because I don't like or dislike them enough to mention them in other posts or do complete reviews. As a makeup lover, I'm constantly adding new items to my collection, and there's no way I could possibly review every product individually.  In any case, I have a few products to talk about that I picked up recently, so let's jump into it:  Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation by Maybelline - I've tried the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation in the past, and I really liked it, so I thought I'd give the dewy version a try (I mean, come on, you guys know how I feel about dewy makeup). After trying both foundations, I have to say that I prefer the Matte + Poreless version. It's a little weird because the Matte + Poreless version isn't really matte;...

Happy 2018! I don't know about you, but I can't believe it's already 2018. Seriously guys, I feel like the year 2000 was like yesterday. When did it become 2018?? I feel old.  Anyway, now that I've needlessly complained about the passage of time, let's get to my empties from January. I feel like I used up a ton of products this month, so we have a lot to talk about.  Coconut Ultra Hydrating Overnight Eye Balm by Yes To - I think I've used three or four bottles of Yes To's Coconut Ultra Hydrating Overnight Eye Balm. I really like this product; it smells great and it hydrates and softens the skin around my eyes. However, I'm not going to repurchase it because this product contains alcohol, and I'm trying to eliminate alcohol from my skin care products. I do think it's a good product, so, if you don't mind alcohol in your skin care products, I would recommend this product to you. Keratin Mist Leave-In Strengthening Treatment by Ch...
