The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about my last Bath & Body Works haul. Right after I finished writing that blog, I turned around and bought more Bath & Body Works stuff. (I'm beginning to think I might have a problem with scented soaps and candles). Anyway, because of that, I now have another Bath & Body Works haul to share. I promise this will be the last one for a while (I think). Strawberry Pound Cake   Candle  - This candle is so sweet it's kind of sickening. I mean, it's like being punched in the face with sugar, but I like it. I don't think it smells like pound cake though; it's more like frosting. Also, the wax itself is aggressively pink. What's not to love? Cinnamon Sugared Donut   Candle  - This candle really does smell like donuts, which is AMAZING in my mind. It smells like cinnamon sugar, and it's just delicious. I know I'm going to love having this candle in my room. Mango Mandarin Shower Gel - I'm a...

It's been a while since I wrote a "new to my collection" blog post. I came up with the idea for these posts a while ago as a way to showcase makeup that I recently added to my collection that I wasn't planning to review separately. The idea here is to give you a lot of opinions quickly. So, without further ado, lets jump into chatting about the products that are new to my collection! Creme de la Creme Palette by ColourPop - I wanted to try ColourPop's powder highlight formula, and, when I saw this palette was on sale, I knew I had to pick it up. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy this formula. The shades aren't very pigmented, and they're extremely glittery. I'm not getting a ton of use out of this palette, but, fortunately, it only cost be about $5, so that's okay. Ultra Matte Lip in Saigon by ColourPop - I really like all of ColourPop's lip products; I have a ton of them in my collection, and I use them often. The Ultra Ma...

So, I've been testing out products by Fourth Ray Beauty for a while now, and I've had pretty good luck with all their products so far (in case you don't know, Fourth Ray Beauty is ColourPop's sister brand; it produces skin care products). So, when I saw them come out with face milks, I added them to my list of things to test out. However, for one reason or another, I didn't end up testing out ColourPop's face milks until just a little while ago. The first one that I picked up was Fourth Ray's Turmeric Face Milk. I've had it for a few weeks now, and I've had a lot of chances to test it out, so I'm ready to share my thoughts with you. First of all, I should emphasis that this product is marketed as a skin care item, not a primer or something like that. ColourPop says that it is " a subtle, illuminating moisture booster for radiant skin ." I think this is accurate, but the effects are very short lived. When you're using a skin ca...

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...

When it comes to makeup remover wipes, I'm often a little reluctant to try new products. I have my favorites (the Coconut Cleansing Wipes by Yes To), and I don't often stray away from them. However, I've been hearing one of my favorite YouTubers--Samantha March--talk about the  Patchology Clean AF Cleansing Wipes for a long time now, and I finally decided to try them. I picked up a four pack of the wipes (big commitment, I know). I've almost gone through one whole pack now, and I have some thoughts to share, so let's dive into the review! First of all, let's chat about price. Each packet of these wipes is $5, which I think is pretty reasonable. There's only 15 wipes in each packet, which seems like a below average number to me. However, they are affordable, so I can look past that. Now, let's chat about the actual product. I think these wipes are really good at removing makeup; they cut through makeup with very little scrubbing or wiping. Th...

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...
