New This Week

Hey pumpkins! Here are a few new goodies I picked up this week!

I have gotten quite a few samples of the Not Your Mothers Hair Care line; mostly from Influenster. I have fallen so much in love with the brand I stopped by Ulta to pick up the Beach Babe Shampoo. Just my luck the entire line was Buy 1, Get 1 Free ! I decided to get the Clean Freak Shampoo since it is the only other one I have sampled and loved. 

I received a free They're Real mascara, pencil sharpener and compact mirror with my purchase as well. #winning

THIS. PALETTE. IS. CHOCOLATE. 

literally. smells, tastes and looks like chocolate. Definitely a Too Faced signature. 

I have been eyeing this palette for some time and a friend of mine sold me hers. Never opened or used. 

Used it for the first time today and am hooked. The bronzers are perfect warm and cool tones and the highlights are life. Definitely worth investing in this beauty!

Lastly, we stop at Marshalls. I love a good bargain hunt there. In the clearance section I found an Instant Self Tanning mousse by SugarBaby. It smells tropical, easy to apply, left no streaks and the color was gorgeous. It is supposed to last 5-7 days but only lasted 2 :/

Lady Gaga Fame perfume I have ALWAYS wanted. This baby was only $8. I love the packaging, the bottle, and the fact that it is black liquid. Not to mention it smells good, which is important when you buy a fragrance; that you like how it smells- duh :P

I have never tried any of the Ole Henriksen products. I found this eye cream hiding on the shelf. Only $10-- a total steal! Vital Truth Eye Cream helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I have been wanting a new eye cream since I am running low on my Bobbi Brown one and am not trying to shell out for it because it is so pricey. This alternative will do for now.

For the past 2.5 weeks I have been able to test out these awesome products sent to me by Influenster. I honestly think this is one of my favorite boxes to date!

I have received samples of Not Your Mothers Shampoo and Conditioner from the purifying line before, this time I got Beach Babe. I can definitely say that I am 100% behind this line. I love the cleansing shampoos because they have little to no lather. This line is sulfate-free,paragon free, cruelty-free and overall just awesome. 

Something I have always eyeballed at Target is the No7 skincare line. For a drugstore brand, I am highly impressed with the quality and packaging of this line. I have normal to dry skin and gets more dry in the winter. I have been applying the Beautiful Skin night cream every night and wake up every morning with Glowing, supple, soft skin. The last time my skin looked like this was when I used Estee Lauder's Nutritious line. I also received a $2 off coupon off any skincare product. I plan on purchasing the No7 Hydration Mask :)

I have heard the NYC bronzer is similar to a high end bronzer. I love NYC bronzers. This one is soft and gives just enough color to keep the summer glow going on into the Fall.

The Suave Smoothing Lotion smells like cocoa heaven. I love how thick and creamy the product is but I personally feel it is a bit greasy. Maybe I am just applying to much (quarter size)? You could easily cover enough area with a dime size of product.

Lastly was the Protein Bar. I took one bite just to test the flavor. Compared to other protein bars, the flavor is definitely there and it is a soft, chewy texture. I love that it is gluten-free and the yogurt was a nice contrast to the nutty inside. Personally, it contains too much sodium for me so it would not be a product I would purchase on my own.
