Recent Purchases & Acquisitions!


April means lots of spring sales (because it's also tax season! Gotta spend that refund!) (I did not spend my refund on this stuff.) so I was able to get some new goodies. I had posted earlier about what I was planning to buy with my various coupon codes, and here are all the shiny new things! I also included some new items purchased not from Sephora/Ulta, and some PR goodies.

I'm going to break everything down by category just to keep it as simple as possible - there's a lot here! Just going to share a little bit about why I purchased each one. I will hopefully be doing more thorough reviews of most of these down the line!

Makeup

  • Stellar Limitless Foundation - Picked this up after having it recommended to me and trying a sample.
  • YSL Tatouage Couture in Nude Emblem - I like the other one of these I have, and I think this will make a great everyday shade!
  • YSL Volupte Liquid Color Balm in Undress Me Coral - This looks like it could be the perfect summer lip formula.
  • Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle lipstick in S1ngle - I really loved Spanked so I decided to get another shade!
  • Sephora #lipstories in All Washed Up - One of my friends got this and it looked amazing on her! Also, it was only $8.
  • LA Girl Shady Slim brow pencil - Another friend got this and recommended it. I'm all about cheap brow products, so I'm excited to give it a try!
  • Lime Crime Plushies in Milk Tea - I have been loving lip stains lately, so when LC released these I wanted to try this shade. It seems to be a good everyday shade.
  • Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in Drop of a Hat - I haven't tried a shimmery squishy blush yet, and this looks like a nice shade for warm weather.
  • Colourpop clear brow gel - Can't go wrong with clear brow gel. 
  • Colourpop eyeshadow pans in La Playa and Slay-Farer - I had been looking for Urban Decay's Deep End shadow, and saw that Slay-Farer is close, and much cheaper. Had to get La Playa because I can't turn down a mint shadow!
  • Colourpop Lux lipsticks in Reverie and Dream Easy - I hadn't yet tried the Lux lipstick formula, so I got some spring/summer shades.

Skincare

  • Make P:rem In Shower Face Pack - I saw this at Target for $12 and had to! I had tried it in the past and really liked it.
  • Bliss What-a-Melon overnight mask - My friend Jessica got this and said it was great, so I wanted to give it a try!
  • Philosophy Purity Made Simple moisturizer - Jessica also got this, and recommended it. I tried it in store and it reminded me of my beloved Clinique gel so I wanted to try it.
  • The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal clay mask sample - I want to see if this is as good as the GlamGlow clay mask I love but refuse to buy.
  • The Body Shop Japanese Matcha clay mask sample - I love green tea stuff!
  • Cosrx Two in One Poreless Power Liquid - This was actually sent to me for review from Cupidrop. I love Cosrx and am excited to use this!
  • Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinol serum - I've heard good things about squalane in skincare routines. I got a (very generous) sample of this in store at Sephora, and noticed my skin was much brighter, so I got the full size during the sale!
  • Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate - 100 point perk! I love mini skincare.

Hair & Body

  • Drybar Southern Belle - Another 100 point perk! I love volumizing sprays so I'm excited to give this a go.
  • The Body Shop Piñita Colada shower gel - I loved the chai one I had (and am finishing up) over the winter so I decided to go for a summer scent.
That's all of it! It seems like a lot...and I guess it is. Certainly a lot of lip products - seven in total! I've destashed a bunch so hopefully these get lots of love! I will hopefully be sharing more thoughts about all these new things soon.
