December 2020 Haul!

 

 

Where did the month go?! It feels like it was just December 1st only yesterday!  However, I should actually know better because I bought so much stuff during the holidays and used my credit card with wild abandon.

I bought a few more bath bombs from Lush that I am looking forward to using. I been trying to indulge in a bath more often. I got a few more sheet masks from Facetory. I got another Factr mask that I am excited to try. I got a new lip mask to try but, I am on the fence. They are relaxing but, I don't know if they actually do work. Sometimes, my lip gets dry even after putting on balm.

This is our crunch time at work and I haven't been sleeping that well lately. I bought these new Dream patches that you apply to your wrist and it delivers an even dosage of melatonin. I am looking forward to how these work compared to the pill version. 

No shopping haul could be complete without me buying a few lip products. I am loving the Too Faced Drunk Dial lipstick. That purple! Swoon! I bought another Huda lip strobe in Snobby (even though I didn't even use the first one yet). I wish dining was opened again because I can't wait to wear the Scarlet Empress by Nars and Bite Beauty in  Marsala and Cognac. The Marc Jacobs in snap shut looks nice and different from anything I own. The Nars Velvet Matte lip pencil in Do Me Baby isn't as nice as I thought it would be.

I have bought a few things from Facetory's brand but, they are usually their face mask. I decided to try their cloud pouf cleanser to see how it compares to my normal one. I have used the Go-To Skincare facial oil and liked it. I decided to get their exfoliating pads to see how they work.

Lastly, I got a really expensive treat item the Chantecaille facial cream. I can't wait to use this but, I am also afraid of the results. What happens if they are so great, that I NEED this cream in my life? I dunno about anyone else but I love a good head massage. I bought this new head oil that you warm and pour all over your hair and give yourself a head massage and then wash out your hair. I can literally do not even care about the benefits to my hair, I just want a head massage.

Nars Audacious Mascara - 3871 Black Moon
















The all in one mascara promises to separate, lengthen and amplify lashes. The lash catching brush has over 200 bristles that equally spreads out the buildable formula.  The tapered tip can be used for the inner and outer lashes along with the smaller lower lashes. The voluminous formula is lightweight and long wearing. The mascara went on easy and gave me a false eye look.  The formula didn't smudge or cause flakes but if you blink to quickly the formula ended up all over my eyelids. A definite new favorite mascara.

Nars Cream Blush - 5210 Enchanted




















The soft peachy blush with a bit of golden shimmer goes on sheer. When, I say sheer I mean it goes so sheer that I can barely see it on my skin. I think I am rather use this as a highlighter than a blush. The creamy blush goes on smooth and felt soft against my skin as it is enriched with vitamin E. The blush melted into my skin but stayed put for  2 or 3 hours although not that can I tell sometimes [all I see a glimmer here and there].

NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil - New Lover







This velvety lip pencil imparts a glossy sheen and leaving lips buttery soft. The  creamy lip pencil is packed with vitamin E, hyaluronic spheres, and phytosterol esther. The lip pencil left a soft strawberry color with gold flecks. While I like the color, it is hardly noticeable against my natural lip color. Overall, I like the soft wash of long lasting color and how soft my lips felt. Applying the lip pencil felt like apply lip butter but not as greasy and not sticky. A word of caution, I was using this during the summer, so try not to sharpen to much product otherwise the tip breaks off easy or melts a bit.
