April 2022 Haul!

 

May is that you? I can't believe May is almost half way here, it feels like it was just only yesterday the year started and now, we almost at the 1/3 mark-ish. I feel like the day goes by so quickly when you want to do something fun and relaxing but, when I am in meetings the day go by so slowly.

I got a few goodies this month but, I tried controlling myself. Ha, just kidding!  I heard good things about shampoo and conditioner bars and that they are really good for the environment. I got travel size versions of HiBar Shampoo and Conditioner bars. I recently started trying tablet toothpaste and I kinda like more some days. It definitely less messy but, more expensive unfortunately. I got another cleansing balm because I am completely addicted to them. I love how they can remove the most stubbornest makeup without drying out skin. I got a green tea one from Yadah. I have tried a few skincare products from them and they have been solid.

I got a few lip products because you know that's my thing. I got a new lip gloss from Patrick Ta in "She's Expensive" and yes, this lip balm was so expensive but so glittery! Speaking of glitter, I got some more Lancome Juicy tubes. "Magic Spell" just smells delicious and looks oh so pretty on my lips.

Is there anything you got recently that you are loving?

Salus Organic Lotion Bar - Lemongrass

The organic lotion bar is a lush mix of organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, sunflower oil, organic coconut oil, and organic beeswax. The lotion bars were moisturizing and delicately scented but it left my skin feeling a bit greasy and I found the need to constantly reapply lotion throughout the day.

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.
