Empties #4

So, today is ''officially" the first day of March Break!! Hopefully you're all having a great day so far... What are your plans? For me, I don't have any major plans, just gonna catch up with a few things (specially my blog)... Other than that I'm just gonna go with the flow (as always) ahah! 

Another empties post! I'm not sure if I've mentionned this before, but I'm trying to use up alot of my products. Not saying that I'm on a spending ban, it's just that I'm not buying that much beauty products and trying to use, rediscover and enjoy what I currently own.

I truly enjoy using up products/hitting pans on eyeshadow as it means I can buy more! ;) ahah, and I know that I used my money right! So today, I will present you 5 of these products and let you know if they're actually worth it.

Jergens Natural GLOW Daily Facial Moisturizer // 

This product is one of my all time favorite! Specially during this time of the year where my complexion is way too pale for my taste! This is a face moisturizer that makes you appear more bronzey and doesn't look fake. Plus, it has SPF 20.

Pantene Pro-V Curl Defining Mousse // 

In all honesty, this mousse was not my favorite at all. I didn't like the way it made my hair look.

Soap & Glory FOAM Call Shower & Bath Body Wash // 

I really liked this body wash. Despite the price, it does last forever. I adore the smell of this. Its like a fruity smell with mint. I love that it has a pump as well.

Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque // 

This is the first masque that have made something for my hair. It is on the pricier side, but for a miracle product I don't mind paying the price. It smells gorgeous. I will surely rebuy it again!

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment //

 Although the Macadamia masque was a miracle for me - I did not feel the same about this. It was okay, but I was expecting more...

Summer Drugstore Haul // Bourjois, Soap & Glory, Nails Inc.

Hi beauties! Today, I went for a visit to my local pharmacy and I haven't been there for a while. Of course, as a beauty lover like myself I wanted to buy everything. I knew that my pharmacy had Soap & Glory and a few, a very few, Bourjois products. So I decided that I would buy 2 out of the 3 Bourjois products. Also, to my big suprise, they now carry Nails Inc. line of nail polishes.

I had a really good day off today. After working 7 days in a row I think I deserved a good day off and little treat! aha! Went for a little drive (stop at my pharmacy of course), enjoyed the sun (finally!), listened to good music, took my first pictures of products outside for my blog (nobody was outside expect my dad, and he was too busy to even notice I was taking pictures of my beauty products ahah!) and went out to a restaurant with my family!

As I said I was really suprised to see the Nails Inc. nailpolish line in my pharmacy. And I'm really happy about that since they seem to be quite popular in the beauty world! I rarely buy nail polishes unless I've seen swatches or someone rave about it aha. But this color instatly catched my eyes, it's exactly in my alley and seems like the perfect color for summer. A beautiful peachy coral pink coral is how I would describe it.

As I said Bourjois products are really rare to find around here. In my pharmacy they only carry about 3 out of the Bourjois line, so I tought why not try some since it's a very popular brand everywhere but where I live ahah! :( This kit comes with the Volume Glamour Mascara in Noir Ébène and Khôl & Contour in Noir Expert. I'm excited to try out these!

Ahhh! My second Soap & Glory product! I'm seriously getting addicted. I've been wanting a body wash from them for the longest time. But my pharmacy only carried Clean on me, and to be honest I don't know if I want to have a body wash that smells like perfume or something, but while browsing through I found this, I've never seen it before... the smell is what really made me want to buy it smells like fruits and mint. That's so me aha! As all the other Soap & Glory products, the packaging is flawless--also, the pump adds a nice fancy touch to it!

I've been looking for this bronzer for the longest time and I finally found it! The packaging is super cute, it looks like a chocolate and kinda smells like it too. Alot of people rave about this product so I'm excited to try it out!

Here are some swatches:

Hopefully you enjoyed my little haul! I might write a review on some of those products, so if there's any you're really interested in knowing more about please do let me know in the comments below! Xx

Soap and Glory Hand Food

Well, now I feel like a true blogger! I've bought my first Soap and Glory product and not any product: Hand Food. Which is one of the most popular S&G product. Want to hear what I have to say, yeah? Let's go!

As every other Soap and Glory, to begin, how cute is the packaging and name? Makes me feel so luxurious and girly. The scent is great. It is kinda strong, smells like you're putting strong perfume on your hands. Myself, I'm not a strong perfume person and it doesn't bother and I think it's a great smell!

This hand cream contains Shea Butter, Macademia Oil and Marshmallow. If you're like me and dislike any thick and greasy cream well this is the total opposite. Sinks in really fast and leaves your hands soft. Although, I wouldn't say this is the perfect cream for intense moisturizing or dry skin. But if you have normal skin this is a perfect everyday hand cream with a wonderful smell. And it will leave your hand wonderfully soft.

I will surely buy more Soap and Glory product! Any suggestions?

First online Sephora order

Hey lovelies! I'm so happy, today, I received my first Sephora order! The closest Sephora to my town is like 2 hours away. Since I didn't go to that Sephora 2 weeks before or after my birthday, I didn't want to lose my beauty insider gift. So I bought one thing (I would have bought more, but I bought so much makeup lately, I need to calm myself a bit aha), I bought the Urban Decay Naked Basics! Aside from my birthday gift I got a bunch of samples, I was very pleased with them, and I will surely order from Sephora online again! :)

Here's an overview of everything I got.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: This is the only thing I ordered. It was on my wishlist of numerous beauty things I want, the decision was hard, but it was only 32$ (which is not expensive if you're familiar with Sephora) and I got my beauty insider birthday gift and numerous samples. I'm in LOVE with the packaging, it's super cute. As I only got it today, I have not had the chance to try it that much, so I won't do a review right now, but I will soon. 

Benefit real birthday turns-on including Benefit They're Real! mascara and Watt's Up soft focus highlighter for face: I was super excited when I saw that this was the beauty insider birthday gift for this year, because I've been wanting to try these products for SO long. Maybe I could do a review of those two products and tell you girls if I will buy the full-size product? Let me know! This is actually my first time having a Sephora beauty insider, super exciting, right? Haha! 

Too Faced Glamour Gloss Volumizing lip gloss with lip injection Comfort Plump in Flirt: As the name says, it's a plumping gloss, the color is a pretty neutral pink! Seems like a color I will use alot. 

3 samples: I'm not positive but I think that you can always have 3 samples when you order on Sephora. So these are the ones I chose:

• Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Radiance
• Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity 3-in-1 Daily-detox vitamin c facial wash
• Justin Bieber's Girlfriend Perfume

Hope you enjoyed seeing my first online Sephora order. I will be doing some review, I will do one about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette for sure! And I was very please with the online service from Sephora and I will surely make a bigger order! haha. If you want any other reviews or more information let me know! xoxo

My wishlist

wishlist
with Too Faced, Benefit Cosmetics, Soap & Glory

1) Urban Decay Naked 2 palette: I have the first one and I love it. But I would really like the second one because of its cooler shades, perfect for winter.

2) Urban Decay Primer Potion: I've used up mine so I need a new one.

3) Stila In the light palette: It is such a beautiful palette. The colors are beautiful and I've been wanting to try the shade 'kitten' for the longest time.

4) Soap & Glory Hand Food: I've heard so many good things about the brand Soap & Glory. Specially their Hand Food cream. I own nothing from them and I think it's time that I dive in.

5) Too faced smokey eye palette Sorry for writing STILA* on the picture but its actually by Too faced. I've been eyeing this palette for quite a while. I think it's great because I have nothing quite like it. It's something I plan on buying sometime soon.

6) Benefit They're real mascara: I've heard so many great thing about that mascara. I really want to try it.

7) Benefit Hoola bronzer: I really want to try more Benefit products. This bronzer looks great. I feel like it's the perfect bronzy color.
