Recent Purchases, Repurchases, and Acquisitions

I think it's a good sign for my low buy that I don't have enough stuff for a purchase post AND a repurchase post. It's my birthday month and I was pretty restrained, as you can see. (Unlike last year...) Two of these products were sent to me for review, so I didn't even buy everything here! I'm super excited about everything, though.

Let's talk about new goodies! I mentioned it was my birthday month, so I had to treat myself a little bit. I destashed a ton more this month, so I have a little room in my collection for new things - and I'm basically recycling money that was already spent, right?

• ILNP nail polishes in Champagne Blush, Rolling Hills, & Juliette - I had been lusting after some new ILNP shades after my friend Jessica got a few new ones a while back. I decided to stick with springy shades for the upcoming months, although I wear rose gold and mint year round!
• Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle lipstick in Spanked - The last thing I need is another warm rosewood lipstick, but it's my birthday, so I bought one anyway. I have heard mixed reviews about this formula, mainly that the formula varies with each shade. But I did hear good things about Spanked, so I'm giving it a shot!
• Bite Beauty Astrology Collection - Pisces - I will tell you now, I think astrology is 100% bullshit. That being said, I will buy a lipstick that comes out around my birthday in a shade that will probably look good on me. I love Bite's Amuse Bouche formula, so it was an easy purchase! Also, peach will be a good shade for the next six months at least.
• Kat von D Studded Kiss lipstick in Double Dare - I got the original Double Dare release in the silver Studded Kiss packaging for Christmas 2016, but I like the newer formula better! Im destashing my LE silver tube, and replacing it with this mini. I love minis, because it's a much more reasonable amount of lipstick to have laying around. This was a promo code product, so I didn't even buy it!
• Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil - This is a new product to me, but it's a repurchase of a cleansing oil. I have heard good reviews of this oil, and the fact that you can get cheap refills is really appealing. I also love pump bottles for my skincare products, so this is doubly good for me.

I only had two repurchases, but I really dig both products:

• Lush Sleepy body lotion - I'm not completely done with my first small Sleepy lotion, but I'm already in love with it! I bought this full size off a friend who wasn't using it, so lucky me!
• belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb - I finished up my mini size that belif had sent me last month, and I really felt that it filled a spot in my routine. This is my perfect daytime eye cream, so I bit the bullet and repurchased the full size. Thankfully, the full size should last me a while because $48 is a little hard to swallow!

I received two products for review from Cupidrop (hence "acquisitions"!) as well:

• Cosrx Low pH BHA Overnight Mask - I love Cosrx products, so I'm excited to test out their new overnight mask! So far, so good, but it's only been one day. I plan to use it another few days before providing any first impressions.
• Cosrx Low pH PHA Barrier Mist - This was provided by Cupidrop as a bonus gift, and I was super pleased! The bottle is so, so gorgeous. I've been trying to incorporate mists more, so this is perfect!

I'm really happy with my purchases this month. I think I hit a nice balance of repurchases, impulse buys, and thought out purchases. My low buy is still going well, so hopefully I'll have another purchase post in like...April? We'll see!
