Lots of goodies from Bath & Body Works. One can never have enough, right?! I got sea island cotton (never tried it before!), Sugar plum dream, Twisted peppermint perfume and hand cream (one of my all time fave), Pink Chiffon kit (one of my fave as well!).

I got the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow palette! *heart eye emoji* Sooo perfect and it smells like chocolate?! YUM. I will do a review on it soon, don't worry people! ;)

So just a few random bits and bobs, I got the Dial Frozen Yogourt Cooling Body Wash (smells delicious!), I've actually been meaning to try this for ages! Also, got the AVON makeup setting spray,  girl right here can never have enough! I got this Revlon Photoready Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash in Peach Prism - I actually thought this was a nail polish at first haha. But nope. It's cream eyeshadow and glitter eyeliner. I got the Avon Secrets to Keep perfume roller ball (which smells great.) Lastly, I got the Mane 'n Tail Detangler.

I got some nice little earrings. Obsessed. Some nail polish goodies.  Some nail art black/white stripe, I really want to start doing more nail art - also got the nail art wheel so I will be able to practice nail art and for preparing nail polish blog posts... The pretty turquoise polish is Bourjois in Turquoise Block.

Last but not the least, I got the PRADA Candy perfume - that I've been wanting forever. It smells amazing. And the packaging is gorgeous!

Empties #5

Hi everyone! I haven't realized I haven't blogged for the past 7 days! Time seems to go by so quickly that I just don't realize! 

Today, I'll be doing an empties post! 

1.  Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Sandstorm.

This is one powder that I constantly go back to, it's not expensive and it works pretty well. I've been using this since high school and whenever I don't know which powder to buy I go to this one.

2. Physicians Formula Organic Wear Pressed Powder.

Another powder - I wish I could finish my other beauty products as fast as powder ahah! Anyways, this powder was good, but not AMAZING for me to run out and repurchase. The packaging was in like thin carton or something and the cover broke...

3. Bath & Body Works Marshmallow Fluff Hand Sanitizer.

I love those! I'm obsessed with B&BW hand sanitizer. This one smells really good. I love the PocketBac ones but I also like the pump ones. I'm also almost done using another one...

4. The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum.

This is a pre-moisturiser treatment. It's really great. This has been the product that made me obsessed with serums. I also really want to try more of The Body Shop's vitamin E range.

5. Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff eye roller.

I really like using this! It actually works and really wakes you up in the morning. I will surely repurchase it once I'm done using all my eye creams.

Empties #2

Hi lovelies,

Today I'm doing another empties post. Am I the only one who gets super happy about those posts? I love when I finish a product/hit pan (which rarely happens). For me, it's kinda like an accomplishment because it means I love a product/used my money for a good thing. As a beauty blogger, I have tons of makeup, so it's refreshing to use some up to buy some more! HAHA ;) So let's start!

ELF makeup mist: It was an okay makeup mist: not the worst, not the best. Made my makeup less cakey and made it stay on all day. The smell was bit odd, though, it bothered me. For the price, I would repurchase, but they don't sell any ELF products, so next time I'm out of town I plan on buying an Urban Decay One at Sephora.

KORRES Face Primer sample: I just got like three uses out of this sample so I can't really give a good review. It was good, liked how it felt on and made me realize that I need to try more Korres products.

Aussie Sprunch Mouse Leave-in conditioner: As curly/wavy haired girl, this is one of my favorite mousse to achieve beachy wavy hair, not only does it conditions your hair but leaves it soft without that annoying crunchy feeling. As all Aussie products, the smell is great.

Evian Spray: During this time of the year, I love a good facial spray and this one, is a great one! I often get them on sale for like, 3$ at my local Wal-Mart, that's a great deal since they're usually around 20$! This actually replaced my ELF makeup mist until I get an Urban Decay one: leaves my face not cakey and moisturizes/refreshes! I just LOVE this product.

Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple Shower Gel: Don't get me wrong, I love Winter Candy Apple by B&BW, but it was time for a new spring/summer shower gel! I will surely repurchase this one during the holiday season.

Bath & Body Winter Candy Apple Anti-Bacterial Gel: Same thing as the shower gel,  I love the smell but for spring/summer, it's about time that I've used them up! I go through these little PocketBac so much! Love them.

Exact Facial Cleansing Cloths: Great makeup wipes, for the price I would repurchase! I still haven't found the BEST makeup wipes yet, what are your favorites?

Hope you enjoyed this post! If you did not see my latest post, I have a new Twitter and Instagram for my blog :) So if you don't follow me over there, please do xx

Empties #1

Hi beauties! Missed you all so much! Goal for April: write moooore posts! Hopefully nothing will get in the way this time, cause I love blogging. :)

I'm so excited to show you some of empties that have been sitting in my MAC bag just waiting for me to write this post! So, let's go.

Make up remover wipes (Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, Nivea Aqua Effect Gentle Cleansing Wipes, Maybelline Clean Express! Makeup Remover): I was impressed with all of them and I would repurchase all of them. They all did a great job at removing makeup but the one that stood out the most to me was the Nivea one. But all in all they're all really great makeup remover.

TRESemmé Rejuvenating Mud Masque: Since I've tried Macademia Deep Repair Masque all drugstore hair masque seems to do nothing for me. Or a huge difference, let's put it this way. Btw, it has a great smell.

Tarte Clean State Flawless 12-hr brightening primer: This was a good primer, I haven't tried that much face primer to say this is one of the best. But it was a good product for the time it lasted. I need to try more Tarte products.

Maybelline Dream Lumi: I feel like I was expecting too much from this highlighting concealer since everybody raves about it. I would say it was a decent concealer, but I did not notice anything major about highlighting/brightening.

EOS hand cream: This was a very nice hand cream. Not thick, very light with good hydratation and a very good smell. As all EOS products, very cute packaging also. I will probably repurchase once I finish the hand creams I currently have.

Nivea Pure & Natural Body Milk/Face care tester: I always seem to forget about my testers. Those were good but I don't think about purchasing them anytime soon.

Covergirl Clean Foundation: If you're in the market for a cheap foundation, this is a great option.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation: I don't get how so many people LOVE this foundation. I don't hate it, but I  just don't think it's worth all the attention that it's getting, way too liquidy (don't you see how messy the bottle is?) like seriously, ain't nobody got time for that. Also I love having coverage but with this I feel like I'm wearing a mask which is not very my thing, okay! But I mean I don't hate it, just not my ultimate favorite like everybody else.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution: I'm sure you've all heard about this, but it's such an amazing product. I won't say much, but it's the best makeup remover/cleanser, literally removes everything.

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Beam Noel Shower Gel: The smell of this is the BOMB! I can't describe it, it's like cozy, well all I can say is that it's magical. I will buy this every year during the holidays cause I love it that much. Enough said.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Make Up Remover: For the price, it does a good job. This isn't my first time buying this and I will surely repurchase sometime soon.

Now that I have used up some product I can buy some more! YAAY! #bloggerprobs

Bath & Body Works: Vanilla Beam Noel

I've had this in my B&BW haul! And I think this WONDERFUL smell needs its own review. I don't even remember the last time a smell had me in such a good mood. It is so conforting; and like, cozy and warm(ish). It's just perfect. I am love with this shower gel and I surely will repurchase more of that bad boy.

On another trip to the mall, I needed to stop at B&BW, and as my obsession with this smell grew stronger, it only felt right to pick up this body spray.

Two words: get it.
It will change your life. I basicly want everything to smell like Vanilla Beam Noel, and I surely plan on stocking on that wonderful smell before they go out of stock!!

What's your favorite B&BW holiday products?

Haul: Bath & Body Works

I'm obsessed with the holidays. So many different things are in store. One of my favorite during the Christmas season have to be B&BW. Their Christmas stuff puts me in jolly mood! I've bought some things and I plan on buying more. Yup, I'm obsessed! I love the smell. I love vanilla. There's something about this one though. Sorry I suck at explaining smells.

I love this one also. Cannot wait to try them.

This cream is so moisturizing. It's perfect for this time of the year.

I'm so excited about using this one. I love peppermint and this smells EXACTLY like peppermint. Christmas mood guaranteed.

I bought 5 of them because they were on special. 5$ for 5. And I use them all so much. Also I bought some Christmas ones. B&BW are my favorite hand sanitizer.
