February 2022 Haul!

 

Wow, February is almost half way done! I can't believe how fast the month has sped by! I did get a few new exciting things I am excited to try out. 

I got a few new face sheet masks and I been trying to use them more often. I love The Beautiful Factr. masks and I got a new hydrating one. I feel like the winter has dried out my skin. My skin is usually left glowy after using their masks, so I am excited. I also like the "I'm sorry for my skin" masks. These masks come PACKED with thick hydrating serum. These are masks a great for dehydrated skin. 

I love taking baths and I am so excited to try these lovely scented foaming bath bombs from Find your happy place. Even the name sounds fun! I got a new detox shampoo from Ouai because my hair is always in it's mood. I rarely put excess products in my hair but, I still find that my hair feels so much better when I do a scalp scrub or use a detox shampoo.

I believe I have tried a few things from Malin+Goetz but, I got a mojito lip balm and it sounds like it would be amazing. I know this brand has a cult following, so it must be good. So, I have had Kombucha but, my tummy doesn't agree with it. However, I am hoping this kombucha mist from ElishaCoy works some miracles on my dehydrated and dull skin!

February 2021 Haul Part 2!

 


 Wow, the month has blown by...in a flurry of snow and rain showers. Although, I am not really sad to see February go because the weather has been intolerable. I am very excited for warmer weather on the horizon. 

I have finished quite a few masks this month so, I bought a bunch to replenish my stock...even though I finished 10 and bought over 30... I bought some more Aroh, Detoskin, and Factory branded masks. I had really good results with their masks previously so, I wanted to try other masks from the line. I have noticed a difference with my skin texture and hydration when I been using the facial sheet masks more consistently. 

I got some new lip products...you already know the drill. I have an obsession with lip products but, yet I never seem to finish any except one balm every season. I bought two new MAC lipsticks in Mixed Media and Russian Red. Mixed Media is darker than I normally go but, I thought the swatches online looked really good. I am excited to wear it when dining out. I heard many good things about the Natasha Denona brand and this is my first lip product by them. I am really excited to try it. I got a new lip product by Clarins. I never tried any of their makeup items but, their skincare items work well. The rest of the items are things I have bought before or different colors in the same line. 

I bought two new products from Earth Harbor. I have quite a few products from them already.  I am really loving their Tidal Rose hydration mist. It smells so lovely.  I got their Sunshine Dew cleansing oil and the Aqua Aura eye cream. The one thing I don't like is that even though they have a very minimal aesthetic going on, they don't have any instructions on their packaging. I had bought a kit and it was annoying that I had to look up the instructions as it wasn't obvious.

I been loving serums lately! They definitely give you the biggest bang for your buck. I bought Byroe Tomato Serum. It looks so thick and luxurious. I can't wait to give it a try. I got a facial oil from Edible Beauty and the packaging is so cute! And finally, I got a Summer Friday mask because I been seeing it everywhere on IG. I can't wait to try it during my next spa day!

Neutrogena Collagen Kiss Lip Mask





The lip sheet mask is packed with vitamin C, vitamin E, and collagen. The single-use mask promises to leave your lips looking fuller and plumper.  The mask was easy to apply and I had to lie down because it did keep slipping off my face. It did leave my lips soft and hydrated but, I did have to follow up with lip balm. I find that lip masks are more fun and relaxation purposes than anything else. I rarely see any results from them.

Colourpop Matte Lux Lipstick - Hi Striker











  The full matte coverage lipstick promises to go on smoothly. However, the first few swipes I noticed it tugged against my skin and didn't go on evenly. I am assuming there was a thin layer of wax which probably caused the tugging. And after a few uses, the lipstick would go on smoothly. The lipstick is enriched with pomegranate, goji fruit, and grape seed extracts but, I found the lipstick to be drying on my lips. Overall, I still found the highly pigmented lipstick a great buy for $7.

Doucce Luscious Lip Stain - 615 Passion Peach











 The Doucce Luscious lip stain goes on glossy but dries matte. It promises a full coverage application and to last all day. It took a few swipes before I got full coverage and after an hour or two, I noticed that the top layer rubbed off. However, my lip had a faint stain. I didn't like that the color didn't apply smoothly or evenly. The next time I am going to use a lip scrub so, that could hopefully help with the application. Overall, it's not my favorite lip stain but, I would be open to trying a different color.

Julep Lip Shade Sheer Lip Butter - Currant















The sheer lip balm is enriched with Shea butter, broccoli seed oil, Rosehip seed oil and black currant seed oil. It goes on smoothly and left feeling luxuriously soft. However, I am a bit disappointed that the lip butter doesn't impart any color which makes this just a very expensive lip balm.

Bite Beauty Watercolor Lip Library - 01
















I was very excited when I came across this gem in one of my stash boxes (one of many....). Having been a fan of Bite Beauty for awhile, I was ecstatic to tear back the wrapping and have my fill of swatches. Unfortunately, most of the colors were sheer that I tried and very clumpy and tacky. I lost interest roughly three swatches, but I will be sure to post the rest up when I can!

This one was the "first" lip gloss and it had a yellow color but went on sheer. It went on very thick and stayed goopy on my lips. However, my lips did feel hydrated.

Like  all of of Bite Beauty products these glosses were created with natural and food grade ingredients. It doesn't have any parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates and are certified gluten-free. It did have a slight citrus scent, but not very noticeable or pungent.
