Beauty Purchases; 6/1/23

JudyL — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 15:15:07 GMT

Good morning! It's June already! Please let us know what you purchased this week and how you like it. Are you trying someting new or a re-purchase of an old favorite?

I had a busy week. Here's my list:

EM Cosmetics: Cream bronzer in Terra - really nice product. Blends easily and the shade is just right for my medium cool skin tone. Cream blush in Lychee - another nice product, pigmentation is good, blends so nicely and staying power is good too. Lychee is a pink/peach shade. Cream blush in Venetian Rose - have the Venetian Rose in the powder blush so wanted this one too. Powder blush in Magic Hour - wanted this to coordinate with the eyeshadow palette. It's supposed to be a peach shade of blush. Magic Hour eyeshadow palette - 6 pan palette with 3 matte an 3 shimmers. Two of the mattes are a peach/pink shade - one light and one medium in tone, one is a brown shade. The shimmers are very pretty - one peach, one gold/bronze and one light shimmer. All the shadows are nice, blend easily, etc.

Makeup by Mario - Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in Just Peachy and Perfect Pink. Haven't received yet so will see if I like the shades once they get here.

Perlier - The TS yesterday and White Almond bath and body set.

Thayers - from Amazon the 2% salicyclic acid facial toner

Revlon - the Revlon Skin Lights highlighter in Daybreak Glimmer. Have tried it once, used a light hand with it and liked it so will keep.

Josie Maran - Purchased the daily moisturizing spf. I love this product and it was on a great sale so took advantage of that and ordered it on AD.

Looking forward to reading everyone's posts. Take care!

Good morning everyone!

I purchased a few things on my list from Memorial Day sales.

Kopari Shield and Shine Duo-These have gone viral on TikTok a few times, and I had them in my cart at Ulta for a while. I got them as a bundle and 20% off on their website. I can't wait to get these. They are so pretty. Who knew an SPF could make your skin look so good? These will be perfect for days when I wear a sundress or dressy shorts.

Vacation SPF Classic Spray 50 and Whipped 30-The whipped has gone viral on TikTok and sold out everywhere. Ulta finally got it back in stock, and I was going to buy it. I saw QVC was carrying it as a bundle, and I grabbed it. OMG, it smells incredible, like beach, vacation, and pool days all rolled into one. I love the retro packaging. The whipped looks like whipped cream and feels so luxurious.

Amika-Hydro Rush Shampoo and Conditioner-I always look for things to keep my hair hydrated and moisturized since I bleach my hair so much. After seeing it on TikTok, I started using this brand and am super pleased. They had 30% off and a nice GWP, so I bit the bullet and went for the liters, and they threw in the pumps, so it was a win for me.

Amika Dream Routine-This is a repurchase; I use this at night before bed. It makes my hair feel so hydrated and soft. My hair absorbs this serum quickly and smells so nice.

Amika Hair Fragrance-Thie latest trend is hair fragrance, so I picked up a bottle. It gets excellent reviews, and I look forward to trying it out.

Beekman Supersize Serum Duo on AD-I just got into Beekman, and I love their products. I am constantly changing my VitC, and this one looks interesting since it is plant-based and gets good reviews. I have been reading fantastic things about Bakuchiol, so I am going to give it a try. I just had another RF Microneedling this week, so I am in an off week and can't try it yet; I am excited to see what this VitC can do.

Josie Maran Supersize Body Butter-I always buy two sets of her TSV Body Butters, and I got my last two shipments from the TSV AD last May.

Beekman Bloom Cream-I have this on AD, and it was on sale for cheaper than my AD price, so I canceled and did a new AD. This is a lovely cream, but all the reviews complain about the dispensing. I figured out that if I keep it upside down, it dispenses perfectly. I like it because when you dispense it, it forms a "bloom," there is a hole in the center to drop your serums. The flat top makes it perfect for mixing your serums in.

Beekman Oh! Mega facial Oil-I have this on AD, an excellent facial oil recommended by a plastic surgeon on TikTok. It makes my skin so soft.

Beekman Milk Drops-Another AD, and I love it. It has a lot of good things rolled into a small bottle. My skin drinks this stuff in.

I hope everyone is recovering from the Perlier shopping yesterday

Happy June, Beauties! 🌸

It's been a big buying/spending week here, but I also was able to show some restraint, so yay for that. My Amazon subscriptions are out for delivery. I ended up with a little overstock on a few things so I was able to adjust them in advance and push the shipping out in order to get back on track. DH and I are taking off Saturday for a few days away. We planned to visit my sister for the weekend and then head to Amish territory in Northern Indiana for Monday and Tuesday. We learned earlier this week that a friend in Ohio passed away so Monday morning we'll head there to attend her funeral before makng our way back to Indiana and checking in our hotel. It's a good thing DH enjoys driving. 🚙

So here's my list for the week:

Hair Appointment - got my summer color (more blonde highlights) done - DD is really good at her profession. She's a master stylist and has a real knack for color and placement.

Assorted supplements - subscriptions shipped

Derma E SPF Mineral Powder - this is one of my go to’s when I’m going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time. It comes in a tube with a brush so it’s easy to use and portable. I use it alone or as a finishing powder over my makeup, depending on what’s going on. I ordered a new one to start the season since I couldn’t remember when I bought the last one or if it was still good.

Acure Radically Rejuvenating Eye Cream - this is a repeat purchase for me. I like it very much, along with my Mad Hippie, so I use one in the AM and the other in the PM.

Closys Silver Flouride Mouthwash Duo - repeat purchase, a staple for me

Revlon Illuminance Skin-Caring Liquid Foundation (305 medium sand) - another shade to experiment with. I like it.

Wet ‘n’ Wild Silk Finish Hydrating Lip Color (Pink Ice) - cost me all of $1.00, with shipping, on Amazon so I thought what the heck. It turned out to be a dud - too frosty.

L’Oréal Color Riche Hydrating Satin Lipstick (251 Wisteria Rose) - I need some true pinks for summer and thought this resembled @SurferWife's nail polish color from last week.

NYX Thick It Stick It Brow Mascara (Cool Blonde) - this is a new color for me. I thought I'd try it since my hair is lighter.

Box of Fabric Bandaids - needed them

Derma E SPF Mineral Powder - wanted a new one for the summer.

Gold Bond Pure Moisture Body & Face Lotion - going to try this on my face again since I can’t remember if I liked it or not the first time.

Perlier Hyaluronic Acid Black Rice A/S TS - Nice products. I’ve been using inexpensive HA and it’s felt fine for the initial hydration but it doesn’t all the bennies of Perlier. I could never afford the real price of the Perlier but this TS price was too good to pass up. The kit price is better than I paid on prior A/S plans of each item individually.

Perlier Royal Elixer Double Youth Night Serum/Cream A/S - this was a spontaneous purchase due to the price. I don’t know if I’ll stick with it or not, but I was curious to see what it was like.

Dental Implant - the next step in the process was Tuesday - the drilling in of the actual implant post. I go back next week to get the stitches removed and then wait another 4 month for the bone and post to fuse together.

Calista GoGo Mini blow dryer arrived. It’s a cute little thing. Since my hair is on the short side, I’m sure it’ll be fine. We leave Saturday for several days away and I’ll take it with me.

Have a great day all! 🌸

@JeanLouiseFinch - went and looked at the L'Oreal lipstick you ordered. That is a pretty shade. Have a safe trip!

Spontaneous purchase of the Perlier TS yestserday. I have so much to use up but the deal was too good not to purchase. I also bought the Black Rice Booster and Day Cream set because the single booster sold out. Almost purhased the shower gel and oil but I have alot of shower gel to use up.

I was also going to purcahse the Perlllier Black Rice lip balm but it was sold out. I just checked and its back in stock. Has anyone tried it before???

Dr Yates Color and Lift Fibers: Not sure about these but want to try them when my color is growing out and I look thinner. May check out some less expensive options mentioned on these boards. Haven't used yet.

Perlier Black Rice Hyaluronic TS on AD: A re-purchase of these items for me at the great price. I know I will use and like these.

Philosophy Falling In Love Body Balm: I have the Unconditional Love Body Balm and really like it so I got this when I saw it at TJMaxx (great price). I like to wear it along with the fragrance or without additional fragrance when I am out running errands. I like body balms and this one melts into my skin quickly leaving a subtle fragrance.

Elemis Pro-Collegen supplements: I decided to try these since I was already taking a HA supplement and saw some results. I take one of these daily and one of the less expensive brand daily. My joints feel better after starting these and that is worth the price alone for me.

Andrew Lessman Free Range and Marine Collagen Powder: bought this when on special pricing since my husband prefers this to Vital Proteins. Don't have to use as much, it's tasteless to us and dissolves really well. My second order of this.

Perlier Lip Balm trio from HSN: I have several other Perlier lip products and like to rotate with my favorite Laneige Lip Mask. Haven't received or tried this one yet, so it's a "will see".

That's it for me beauties. Thanks for getting the thread up and running @JudyL . Looking forward to seeing what others are buying.

@wagirl I have used the Prevage eye lash serum for a while (got it in a duo with mascara from HSN) and think it's ok. Doesn't irritate my eyes and seems to work some but not a wow for me. Didn't re-purchase.

I have been on a spending spree in the past two weeks. Everything that I ordered has arrived as of today.

I posted last week about my Purity Made Simple purchases- mositurizer, facial cleanser, mask and vitamin c serum. There were good deals on QVC with free shipping so I stocked up on things I use regularyly and I am trying out the mositurizer for the first time.

JVN Strengthening Shampoo, Hydrating Conditioner and Hydrating Mask I use these regularly and I got them 20% off with free shipping. The JVN site had the mask on waitlist but Sephora had it in stock.

Lolavie Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner, Perfecting Leave In Conditioner and Glossing Detangler trial size I read about this line on the Beauty board and thought I'd see if I like better than JVN.

Clinque Black Honey Almost Lipstick. Pop Matte Lipstick in Bold Pop and Cheek Pop blush in Heather Pop. I went out to dinner on Saturday and could not find any of my lipsticks. I am sure my DD the makeup artist swiped them but she denies it. The Cheek Pop coordinates with the Black Honey. Clinque was offering 30% off and free gifts and Ulta was having a sale.

Neutrogena Hydroboost City Sheild Mositurizer with SPF, Invisiable Daily Defense SPF both lotion (which I like) and spray (which DH and DD like) I use the Hydroboost daily. I switched to Elf Holy Hydration to try it out but it was too heavy for me and was breaking me out so I went back to Neutrogena.

Blush from Mac, beauty blender sponge, Earth Therapeutics foot file, and 5 new products from Naturium...which ill have to hold off from using any of them ☹️, because I broke out from something I'm using. I'm cleared up, just one spot looks nasty, but it's drying up.

Eliminated using everything for now, then I'll start back trying the sunscreen 1st 😬 because I need to wear an spf . If that's the cause, then I'll take up @Shanus advice and find a baby sunscreen or ill go back to Shiseido.

My Water babies sunscreen feels too greasy for face, so ill look around.

Hopefully my next beauty purchase will be pretty pastel pink eyeshadows.

I bought some Perlier this week, and a bar of Beekman soap for the face:

Perlier 1oz. Caribbean Vanilla & Orange Eau De Toilette Spray--I have used the original Vanilla and the Vanilla & Mango in the past. These

are such beautiful fragrances. The vanilla is a really warm fragrance. It reminds me of a tropical fragrance. I'm looking forward to trying this particular fragrance.

Perlier 3 Pack Honey Miel Hand Cream--I have used this hand cream before. I love their original Honey scent. It's lovely. It smells so soft. It's one of my favorites, and it along with the Honey Lavender are my favorites in their Honey line. I was lucky enough to be able to use a coupon for these hand creams, but they were still a good price without the coupon.

Beekman 1802 Milk Bar Probiotic Facial Cleansing Bar 3.5 oz.--I've had this in my Wishlist for awhile. I'll switch off between cleansing bars and liquid cleansers for my face, trying different fragrance-free products. I haven't tried any of their facial products before, but i do really like their hand creams, so I thought that I'd try their facial bar.

@JudyL

happy Friday ladies !

I made one purchase . I finally decided to purchase the Fiera Concealer . I have been seeing ads for this for a while . Reviews were either love it or hate it . Recently videos for Camille Cowher came on to my Youtube feed . She actually has one demonstrating this concealer and tips .I will be 60 soon . For the past few years I really simplified my makeup routine . I am satisfied but I feel my dark circles(herditary) make me look tired and older . I have tried over the years many concealers and correctors . Most were good but nothing that I felt was exceptional . The concealer is $39.97 includes a free brush . I got a code for 10% off plus free shipping . It has a 30 day money back guarantee . It is also cruelty free . I figured it was worth a try . Look forward to seeing everyone's purchases .

I must be sick! I didn't purchase anything this week. However, I will probably make up for that when I watch the WEN show on Tuesday, plus I have a waxing appt. next Saturday and although that is a service rather than a product, I will be hairless (except for my head) so my serums and moisturizers absorb better!
