The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

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 particul...

It's been a while since I've written one of these new to my collection blogs. I've picked up a lot of new products recently, so I have a lot to talk about. Let's get into it. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion by Clinique - I needed a new moisturizer and, fortunately, I got a sample of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, which I've been wanting to try for a while.  I've only been using it for a few days, but so far I like it! It feels very nourishing and refreshing on the skin, and it's definitely helping me do battle against dry, winter skin. Overall, I'm quite happy with this product, and I think I'll be repurchasing it in the future. Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Caught In Your Web by Wet n' Wild - I was at Wal-Mart a little while ago, and I saw this highlight, and I was like "yeah, I'll buy that." This highlight is kind of a silvery, icy, purple-white shade, which is right up my ally. I...

I don't know about you, but October went past pretty quickly for me. I feel like I say this a lot, but I feel like I blinked my eyes and October was gone. I tried quite a bit of new makeup in October, which I'm working on reviewing now. However, I do have some new favorites this month, and I'm excited to share them with you, so let's dive in: Climax Mascara by NARS - I've been hearing about how great NARS' Climax Mascara is for a while. I finally got a sample from Sephora, and, let me tell you, it is not over-hyped. It is a really, really nice product. The mascara really makes your lashes look very full and long and "fluffy" for lack of a better word. It's a gorgeous and very flattering mascara, and I understand why so many people love it. I've been really enjoying this mascara this month, but I don't think I can justify repurchasing it because of the price. I get so many sample mascaras, and there are so many good quality, cheap mascara...

So, Bath & Body Works has been having a TON of sales lately, which means that I've bought a lot of stuff from B&BW over the past month. So, what else is new? Like, if you offer me discounted lotion and candles, there's no way I'm not going to buy it. That's why I have a small stockpile of B&BW products under my bed that would last me through the zombie apocalypse (assuming I live long enough during the zombie apocalypse to need bath products). Anyway, I picked up bunch of stuff that I want to talk about, so let's dive into the haul: Shower Gel in Warm Vanilla Sugar - I'm sure I've written about this before, but I love B&BW shower gels. They're very concentrated, so you only have to use a small amount of product to clean your body. The Warm Vanilla Sugar scent is, from my perspective, a very neutral scent. It basically just smells sweet with a hint of vanilla. Shower Gel in Dark Kiss - As I said, I really like B&BW...

As I've said before, I really like writing posts about products that I used up. I buy so much makeup that sometimes it's nice to prove to myself that I can/do use things up and actually get my money's worth. It's weird, but I feel accomplished when I use things up, and, somehow, I used a LOT of things up this month (which is good because I'm moving this month and I'm trying to de-clutter things before I move). Anyway, let's get into this month's empties: Airspun Translucent Extra Coverage Loose Face Powder by Coty - Say what you want about this powder, but it lasts FOREVER. I think I purchased this product in October, I used it almost everyday, and I'm only now using it up. That's crazy, no? Anyway, I finally used up this powder, and I have opinions about it. At first, I didn't love this product because I thought it looked dry and cakey on my skin; however, I realized that I was using too much product. I think this is definitely a '...
