March 2022 Haul!

 

 

 

Wow, I can't believe March is already here. I feel like it has flew by so quickly! February was over in a blink. Well, on to the goodies!

I got a few bath salts from Bathorium that look exciting. I love taking baths and these look like they would be so soul soothing and hydrating to use. They were a bit more expensive than I would normally buy for a single use sachet though. My friend is obsessed with SunAroma soaps and I usually love trying new soaps so, I decided to pick up an eucalyptus and a lavender soap to try. The soaps smells so fragrant before I even open the packaging. 

I got a new lip butter mask from Seraphine Botanical that I am excited to try. I usually try to use a lip mask before bed otherwise I wake up with dry and cracked lips. Speaking of dry skin, I am excited to try the Josie Maran body cream. I have tried her other products and other than the nail wipes, I found them to be of quality. I also subscribe to Ipsy and recently they introduced their own line of products. One of the items I got from their "refreshment" line is their lavender deodorant. The packaging is cute and it smells nice. I am hoping it works well too!

Is there anything you got this month that you are excited to try?

March 2021 Haul!

 

Wow, its already March 13th! Where has the month gone? I feel like this year has been moving so quickly...although last year was quite the blur. 

I got a few Bonvivant masks and they are pretty good. They are decent masks that I used to get from Memebox when they were selling stuff. Now, I usually get them from Amazon. I am still sad that they are no longer a store that sells other brands. They used to have some really amazing deals.

I got quite a few new lip products. I got a few Clinique chubby sticks, I haven't used these in awhile but, I remember loving them. I can't wait to use this one especially the red. I got this really cute heart shaped lipstick from Kaja in Be Mine. I got a few repeat lip products that are favorites such as the Tarte lip pencils and Burt's Bees lip balm.

As the weather is warming up, I got two new scrubs to help get rid of  flaky skin. I love coffee scrubs but, sometimes they are so messy. I bought two different brands: the Coffee Scrub and Frank Body. I am excited to see how each one performs.

I been breaking out a lot lately so, I got some of those acne patches. I heard good things about it so, I am excited to try it. I got another bottle of Huxley Secret Essence. This thing is amazing and I love it so much. I am excited to try the Peach and Lily Glass Skin serum. People swear by it and my skin could use a pick me up.

Did you get anything this month that you are excited to try?

Etude House My Beauty Tool Lovely Etti Head Band

I have long hair so, when I came across this cute headband, I knew I had to get it. The headband has a thick band to keep hair secure while using masks, cleansing, or showering/bathing. It did take me a few times to set the wideband correctly and it was a bit tight even after a few uses. I am afraid that while it holds my hair up now, if it will keep its shape after multiple uses.

Go To Face Hero Face Oil

I love facial oils! They make skin feel so soft and hydrated. It does wonders for your skin. This lightweight facial oil is composed of 10 plant and nut oils that leave skin hydrated and revitalized. It has almond, jojoba, macadamia, brazil nut, apricot kernel, evening primrose, buriti, rosehip, kiwi fruit seed, and vitamin E oils. It is also enriched with calendula, arnica, and rosemary leaf extracts. The face oil went on smoothly and left my skin feeling glowy and radiant in the morning. The oil has a pleasant but otherwise unnoticeable scent. At $34 a bottle, the facial oil is pretty affordable as it's quite the workhorse.

Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Face Sheet Mask

The Purlisse watermelon mask is enriched with watermelon, aloe vera, cucumber. The mask fits well and it left my face feeling refreshed and glowy. I sometimes pop these mask in the fridge for an ultra cooling effect that feels like a treat. However, for $5 per mask, it can be a bit pricey and so, I usually get the pack.

The overnight treatment is packed with CoQ10, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin E, Avocado, Grapeseed Oils and Organic Red Tea to revitalize dull complexion. The creamy moisturizer goes on smoothly and left my skin feel soft and smooth. When waiting up in the morning, my face felt soft, smooth and radiantly beautiful. I didn’t notice my skin feeling any firmer but it definitely revitalized my skin. I tried a small sample and I am sure the full size product might have enough product for me to notice my skin getting firmer. I would definitely get the full size but it’s a bit pricey ($85) so I might wait for a sale.

Clarisea Sea Salt Solution Face Rapid Detox Charcoal Exfoliant

The all natural exfoliant is packed with naturally detoxifying ingredients like activated bamboo charcoal powder, almond flour, Pacific ocean & Himalayan pink sea salt. The dry exfoliant can used by itself with water made into a paste or can be used with any other cleanser. I have tried both methods and before using the exfoliant with another cleanser.  Although, without fail I always end up with a bit of charcoal in my mouth. When using with water, I always add too much and the end product becomes too watery. I love using it with the DHC cleansing oil because when I add a little to it; it foams!! (As you can tell, it doesn’t take much to make me ecstatic). After washing out the exfoliant my skin feels smooth, softer and brighter. I would definitely purchase this again if  I can just figure out a way not to get it into my mouth.

Erno Laslo Firmarine Face Bar

I received this tiny bar of soap in one of my subscriptions. I love the brand so I was still excited but disappointed in the size. I packed this little bar for my roadtrip to NC. The soap had a fresh ocean breeze scent and had a good lather. The soap promised to firm, hydrate and leave skin feeling soft and smooth.I read online that you had to splash still and then running water on your face about 20 times a piece. Honestly, who has time for that? Perhaps, it was the reason why I didn’t notice any results from using this bar. It was quite the disappointment.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream

I love the Fresh brand and I needed a new moisturizer, so I decided to give this a try.  The moisturizer is formulated with Fresh’s “Super 7 Complex”,  that promises to prevent signs of aging, boost radiance, improve elasticity and improve moisture in skin. I wasn’t pleased with the scent, it smells like pickles or maybe I got a bad batch. The face cream was a bit greasy but it does absorbs very easily.  My face did feel radiant and moisturized but I still couldn’t get over the scent. I am not quite in love with this face cream, so I don’t I will get this again.

Coola Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face

This eco-friendly is packed with 70% organic ingredients and protect you against both UVA/UVB rays. It is packed with Vitamin C, strawberry extracts, plankton, primrose, acai, and linseed oil to pamper and protect your skin. I love the plumeria and the unscented version of this and I couldn’t wait to try this scent. The lightweight formula does go on smoothly and evenly. It left my face feel soft, moisturized with a matte finish. The only thing I didn’t like was the supposedly “fresh, spa-like” cucumber scent, I didn't like it very much and could have done without it.

Boscia Bright White Mask

This anti-aging masks promises to brighten, hydrate, and smooths your skin. The white mask is packed with vitamin C to reverse the skin damage caused by UV radiation. The mask is not formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, preservatives, ethanol alcohol, artificial color and animal ingredients. The whitening ingredients brightens, even outs skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots. Not only does it promises to improve the condition of your skin but also reduce the appearance of line and wrinkles but supports the production of natural collagen. I really love this white peel off mask. It made my skin feel soft, smooth and absolutely just glowy. I couldn’t stop staring and touch my skin. I totally love this mask, I can’t wait to try the other Boscia ones.
