Birthday Haul!

Hey all! My birthday was just a few days ago, so I thought I would share with you what I gave myself for my birthday! I forgot to include the Sephora Birthday gift, but if you want to know more about it you can read about them on my first makeup bag Friday post! 

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette 

The biggest item I splurged on, which I had been planning to do so since I found out they were going to be restocked was the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette, so far I really like it! However, I'm not a big fan of the scent, its a little too strong and sweet for my liking, but it fades away after you apply the shadows. 

Essence Pure Nude Highlighter

This was the only impulse buy, everything else I had been planning. The Essence Pure Nude highlight has been getting so much attention recently and I saw it at Ulta so I was like why not? So far I am really liking it!

 Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso

I actually had this blush a few years ago but I decluttered it for some reason? This had come back on my radar a few months ago, but then when I saw Jamie Paige's dupe video and how it was a dupe for the Too Faced Papa Don't Peach blush I was sold, because again, I don't like the scent of the peach collection. Really looking forward to wearing this blush this spring and summer! 

Wet 'N' Wild Ombre Blush in In a Purple Haze 

I have been wanting to pick up at least one (but really all) of the Ombre blushes when they first released, but I kept putting it off because I had too many blushes, but I finally had decluttered a bunch I never wore and I was like score I can pick one up! These are very sheer blushes, which is okay with me, I prefer sheer blushes. It doesn't look purple on the cheeks but it looks more pinky/lilacy on the cheeks and I really am enjoying it! 

Let me know if you would like to see a review on any of these products!

Unboxing: Target Beauty Box

Beauty boxes, ah how I love and hate them... They provide inexpensive ways to try out a wide variety of products, but if I got everysingle beauty box out there I'd be broke. Haha, there is Glossy box, Birchbox, Boxycharm, Ipsy, and even Sephora is coming out with one in 2016! It is madness! Absolute madness! The Target Beauty Box is one of my favorites because you get around 2 or 3 fullsize products and you get a coupon. Not even just a $1 off coupon, $3 off of $15. Which if you time it right like I did with my last coupon and wait for a buy 3 get a $5 gift card sale, you are then basically paying for $7 for $15 worth of beauty stuff! Which is over half off! Boo Yeah! Okay enough rambling, onto the goodies!

See that card? That tells you whether your product is fullsize and it also contains the coupon! :)

- Fekkai Pre-Soleil Hair mist ($19.99/5 fl oz) This is a deluxe sample size of the hair mist. This mist is supposed to help protect hair from sun damage, while also adding shine. I am excited to try this! It is an oil based product so you do need to shake it before every use. The spray has a nice light sunflower scent, which makes sense considering it contains sunflower seed oil. 

- Clairol Hair Food Moisturizing Mask ($11.99/6.3 oz) This hair mask is full sized. This product alone makes this box worth the $7. Hair food is paraben and mineral oil free and is supposed to remove dulling residue to restore luster and shine all while moisturizing hair. 

- Covergirl The Super Sizer Mascara by Lashblast ($5.99/.44 fl oz) This mascara included is also full size, and again, this alone almost pays for your entire box. I am super excited to try this mascara, it claims to give up to 400% fuller lashes, so we'll see how it goes haha.

- Crest 3D Whitestrips 1hr Express ($44.99/20ct) I have never tried these whitening strips. I've gotten them before but my sister always stole them! So I am super duper excited to try these out! They are on the pricey side, so who knows if I'll ever end up buying the actual product. They claim to be non slip strips that are packed with enamel safe whtening agents to remove years of stains.

- Olay Active Botanicals Moisturizing Toner ($14.99/5 fl oz) This toner claims to by non drying, and removes excess dirt and oil, leaving skin soft and fresh. Well its claims aren't too grand, so it will be easier for this product to live up to all of its claims than say like the mascara.

- Olay Active Botanicals Day Lotion ($14.99/2.5 fl oz) This claims to be a lightweight formula with a hydra-complex and snow mushroom to hydrate skin for up to 24 hours. Snow mushroom....? Well okay then...

The Target Beauty boxes range in price from $5 to $7. They are not a monthly thing, they are a whenever Target feels like it thing. In July they had 2 back to school boxes and then around the 1st of August they had this box. So it is hit and miss as for when they are available. Also if you see a box you want, do not hesitate to purchase it! They sell out super fast! LIke within a day of being available!  What is your favorite subscription or beauty box? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I went to B&BW last week and while I was there they had their aroma therapy lotions and body washes on sale. So of course I picked up a few because they were a little over 50% off. Of course you can't leave B&BW without any candles, so I grabbed a few scents that are new or that I didn't have.

Leaves, Spiced Pumpkin Cider, and Thanksgiving Morning (Pumpkin Pecan Waffle)

Stress Relief - Eucalyptus  Spearmint (They have a limited edition bottle of this one for Christmas)

Sensual - Black Currant Vanilla

Sleep - Lavender Vanilla
