BEAUTY Purchases/Recommendations week ending 6/28/19

Hi Beauties,  I will try this thread once again and see if it catches on.  This is for your Beauty purchases this past week and anything you purchased and would like to recommend.  

 

I purchased:

 

Fresh Cirtron de vigne Eau de Parfum and Body lotion.  This is the most beautiful citrus scent I have ever encountered.  I highly recommend it.

 

How about you?  What beauty purchases did you make?  Have a great weekend.  It is super hot in the Midwest high 80's low 90's and humid. Cat Very Happy

No purchase but a visit to Lancôme counter at Macy's to try the new Hypnose Eyeshadow Palette in Kaki Electriqué.

 

I had primer on. Put all the colors on with a dry Q tip. Most of the shades were flaking off & causing fallout on the counter. The green shade was a true green similar to the Lancôme Drama Liqui Pencil in Pacifique color. I may try another Macy’s & ask them to use a brush or even if available (sink in the cosmetics area) with a damp brush. I wonder if the flakiness is caused by them being metallic shades or maybe they do need a damp brush for application?

 

The palette is the same size as the old Color Design palettes, just reconfigured.

   hi @Katcat1 

I purchased WEN this week, both on eBay and at Chaz's website.

 

I'll come back and update the particulars later, because I'll probably buy some from QVC too, before the night/week is over.

 

Who makes that fragrance you ordered?

I bought Coconut Lime Verbena fragrance at Chaz's site.

Pre-ordered a new limited edition Chanel perfume - “VENISE - An eau de toilette with a sensual structure. The beautiful contrast between the fresh and luminous neroli essence and the enveloping warmth of an oriental accord with an ambery tinge of vanilla and tonka bean notes.”

 

Will be available mid July.

I purchased Mally's Complexion Perfection Soft Focus Foundation, on sale at Kohl's for $10.  I loved it the first day I tried it, but the next two days, it was very watery.  Even shaking it, I couldn't get it to mix.  I don't know if it's the heat, but I put it in the refrigerator and will try again tomorrow.  I also went back and purchased Mally's Perfect Prep Poreless Primer, but I haven't really given that a shot yet.  I also bought one of the shadow sticks.  It's pretty on the back of my hand, but I haven't worn it on my eyes yet.  I have several and know it will last all day.

@x Hedge  It is by Fresh.  fresh.com is their website or Nordstrom has it.  Life is also very pretty but it fades fast.  Citron de vigne lingers and it really beautiful.  Fresh offers many perfumes but I need to get out to Sephora or Nordstrom to see what fragrances they carry.  Some of the fragrances have travel size for $25.  Otherwise bottles are $50 and $90.

@JustJazzmom  That is very interesting that the shadows are flaking plus they are expensive, I am sure.  You should not need a damp brush to apply.  Maybe give Bobbi Brown a try.  I know she offers lovely shadows.

I bought a few beauty items this week:

 

From Winners I bought a Julep Off You Glow! 2 piece skin care kit that consists of a 45 ml (1.5 oz) grapeseed cleansing oil and a 4 ml (.14 oz) rosehip oil for $12.99 CDN. This kit was sold on QVC in 2018 so it's not too old yet.

 

I also bought a Marcelle Lumi Power facial moisturizer that comes in an airless pump dispenser. This item is being discontinued by Marcelle so it's about half price or $12.50 CDN at Save on Foods grocery store. I've seen the bonus size package at Winners too for a couple of dollars more. Marcelle does not include fragrance or color additives in their skin care products.

 

I also bought an Escada Miami Blossom 50 ml eau de toilette spray at Shoppers Drug Mart. Every year in January/February Escada comes out with a limited edition summer fragrance and this is this year's version. I generally like these Escada limited edition summer scents too.

 

Last week when I was in Las Vegas I bought a Tocca Stella hair fragrance set that consists of a 40 ml hair fragrance, a roller ball, and a hand lotion. This set is in the Sephora store at the Miracle Mile mall (they had several sets left last week) but is not on the Sephora website anymore. I also bought the Sephora yearly sunscreen try me kit that comes out in April in the U.S. but not in Canada as that Sephora had them in store. Lastly I bought some Inkey List items that I hadn't seen in Canada. If you are in Las Vegas, check out the Sephora at the Miracle Mile Mall (that's next to the Planet Hollywood resort and casino) as that store caters to tourists. They have the Pat McGrath makeup line and the Charlotte Tilbury makeup line just an FYI.

 

I also bought a Shiseido sunscreen, SPF 38, 100 ml bottle and a Peter Thomas Roth sulfur acne cream at the Marshalls on the strip at the Showcase Mall (across the street on the strip from the Park MGM resort and casino).

It's not what I purchased, it what I did not purchase.  I need my Garnier Fructus Root Amp spray hair mousse, but I can't find it anywhere.  Oh Noooo!  Has it been discontinued???  Whatever will I do?   The Root Amp is (was?) so perfect for styling my piecey pixie hair.  I'd recommend it, but now you can't buy it.

 

Otherwise, my usual supermarket purchases:  L'oreal mascara and CeraVe moisturizer.  These are "can't live without" products for me.
