Beauty Purchases 4/1/21

[ Edited ]

Hi Beauties,  Better late than never.  I don't know what I was thinking because I was on the forum earlier.  Okay, a did a little research on this product because I wanted to have cleaner skin.  This was rated in the top 15 and reasonably priced.

 

instaNatural Glycolic Cleanser for all skin types even sensitive.  It has cucumber extract, organic  Chamomile, Green Tea extract.  The first time I used it, seriously, I did a double take in the mirror.  My skin looked so clean and bright and it felt smooth.  After I I used it, I rinsed, use a toner and my moisturizer.

 

Share your purchases.  Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter to all that celebrate it.   Easter colors for you Beauties!!! Cat HappyHeart

Well, it's only April 1 and I've already nearly spent my monthly allotment for beauty purchases!  It doesn't help that I love luxury products, so I really need to learn to pace myself!  It's a gloomy, rainy/snowy day here in the Northeast and I spent the morning online shopping!

 

First, I purhased a Kiehl's Vitamin C eye serum.  I've been using the regular Vitamin C serum for my face and really like it, so I picked up the eye serum as Kiehl's is having a 25% off sale on their site right now.

 

Then, thanks to this forum, discovered that Nordstorm was having a sale on some beauty items - ut oh!  I ordered a Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate palette for 50% off that I've been drooling over but refused to spend the money.  It's still way over priced, but better.  Then I sprung for the Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel,  the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (for use during the summer) and a Dior lip maximizer.  

 

And THEN, again, thanks to this forum, discovered a sale on certain Elemis items here on the Q and picked up a cleanser as I'm almost out of my Superfood cleanser.

 

Put a fork in me, I'm done!

This past week I bought cotton rounds, a package of Beekman wipes as I've been wanting to try those, mascara, and MAC painterly pot.  Still waiting for my Laura Geller TSV - its out there somewhere nearby! LOL

 

Saw that Elemis was having a sale on the Q so am thinking about the SuperFood cleanser that @Sammijo10 mentioned but may wait.

 

Hope everyone has a really good week.  If you celebrate - Happy Easter!

I got Alpha Skincare Intensive renewal 14% Glycolic AHA serum (brand is new to me) and Rael beauty soak it up facial sponge cotton pads. I thought I might make my own glycolic soaked pads, but I am rethinking this as I like the serum as is. From the A store.

As another had said, thanks to this forum, I saw Josie Maran's website is 25% off with free shipping.

 

I bought the special reserve and the vit C Serum.  Love both those products.

 

I also ordered tan drops HSN's Tsv (but that was yesterday) and some hairspray I never heard of but looked like something this former 80's girl needed to check out :-)

A tube of Tula cleanser for DH, who really likes it.

Maybe I should give it a try!

Nars Blush in "Thrill".  I've been looking for a bright pink blush.  Wore it today with the MAC Cherry Blossom "blush".  The MAC product isn't a blush on me, but it's a perfect pink hightlighter.  Wore it today too.

NARS - Blush Thrill 0.16 oz/ 4.8 g

Blush (if you can really call it that) isn't new this week

 

MAC Dilly-Dolly Extra Dimension Blush

Rare Beauty Liquid Highlighter in Enlighten

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez - Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight Enlighten 0.5 oz/ 15 mL

Kiss Lashes "So Real".  A new (to me) line called MLBB (My Lash But Better)

My Lash But Better - So Real

and a new computer w/ a 32" 4k monitor Smiley Happy  It's right up there with new makeup 💕

Since yesterday was the last day of the WEN Friends & Family sale, I stocked up on a few items.

  • Blessings (Hope) Hair & Body Set
  • Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Good morning @Katcat1 .

 

Not purchased this week, but FINALLY received my eyeliners from Kim G. They are really good with a minute of smudge time before they set and can be used to tightline. I also use Urban Decay's 24/7 liners and purchased the black one.

 

***Used to use Mally's pencils for years, but can't find in the sets of 3 anymore. 

 

I took advantage of the F&F 40% off and added a backup of the Bobbi Brown Serum Foundation. It's a nice change from tinted moisturizer when we go out...still light to medium coverage and very moisturizing without being too shiny. 

 

I guess this was not a big makeup shopping week. Have a wonderful weekend. Always love this thread and I enjoy reading what others have found!

@monicakm   If you're looking for a great bright pink blush, try Bobbi brown's iconic Pale Pink. It comes in powder or cream form. I wear it on my fair skin (sparingly), but can be applied and layered to the desired shade.
