Beauty Purchases This Week; 11/7/24

[ Edited ]

Good Morning Beauties!

 

FYI - I won't be doing a Beauty Purchases post next week, Thurs Nov 14th because the day before, Wed Nov 13th, I am having knee replacement surgery and am assuming I will not feel up to posting on Thursday.  I will be back posting the following week.

 

Here is my list:

 

From the Sephora Sale:

 

Laura Mercier - Winter Wishes Mini Caviar eyeshadow set for DD's Christmas stocking.

 

Sol de Janeiro - Mini Cheirosa '59 Perfume Mist.  DD loves this scent so got one for her stocking.

 

Makeup by Mario - Have heard many good things about his new SurrealSkin Talc-Free Soft Blur Setting Powder so wanted to try it.

 

Sephora Collection - Organic cotton pads.  Like these so much more than those small round ones you find at the drugstore.  Also ordered a Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner Pencil in matte Olive.

 

Innisfree - Super Volcanic AHA Pore Cleaning Clay Mask.  Heard about this on a Dr Idriss YT video so thought I would try it.

 

Laneige - Lip Glowy Balm for DD.

 

Paula's Choice - Have been liking the 25% Vitamin C & Glutathione serum so decided to pick up a back-up while the Sephora sale was going on.

 

Natasha Denona - I had wanted to get my DD the mini holiday Baby I Need A Nude kit from Sephora's sale but it sold out before I could order it.  Went to Natasha Denona's website and they also were having a sale - although not as good as Sephora but close enough - so bought it there along with, yes I caved - the Golden eyeshadow palette.

 

Perlier - Had put an Imperial Honey Pearl Body Cream on AS a couple months ago when it was under $20 and will use this shipment for DD's Christmas stuff.  Will cancel the AS as soon as I receive it as I certainly do not need any more body cream.

 

Looking forward to reading everyone's posts!

@JudyL  I hope all goes well with your knee replacement surgery and recovery.

 

My purchase this week was Maybelline  Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect mascara. This is a new mascara for me and will open soon to replace one I am using now.

@JudyL - Wishing you all the best with your upcoming knee surgery.  I don't often post here but I read regularly and enjoy the many tips and recommendations from fellow posters.

 

I did place an early order for the Korres TS  ( 2 tubes of Clean Cotton ) body cream.  I was a little dispappointed there was no unscented available this time around.

 

Enjoy the rest of week

Re: Beauty Purchases This Week; 11/7/24

Good morning Beauties!  After a gloomy, wet start to the week weather wise, it's a beautiful cool, crisp, sunny day today, full of promise.  

@JudyL - I want to wish you all the best, for a successful surgery and smooth recovery.  If you want me to, I'll be happy to sub for you next week.

 

I made "a few" purchases and had some subscriptions delivered this week ~

Silksense Eyelash Growth Serum - I’m using on my lashes and brows (thanks Judy) so I set it up on subscription to come every month.

 

CosRx Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner - a staple for me.

 

Tintark Talc Free Loose Setting Powder - my second purchase.  I like this product and it’s very budget friendly.

 

Dove Baby Body Wash - our granddaughter has decided she likes to have a bath at Nana’s when she visits.  We get the little boy in and out and then the granddaughter plays in the tub for a little while.   It’s a big monkey business but I remind myself that it’s a memory in the making.   

 

RMS Beauty ReDimension HydraBronzer (Beachwalk Betty) - I currently use Tan Lines, but I thought I would go a little lighter in the bronzer department for winter.  Amazon had an additional promo discount so I struck while the iron was hot.

 

RAZUYEN 10% Niacinamide Dark Spot Correcting Serum - I don’t know a thing about the brand.  I just stumbled upon this serum.  It sounded interesting and there was a discount code so I thought I would give it a try.

 

Perlier Royal Elixir Cleanser - my first purchase of this product. I plan to use it at night. It was on sale and I had a $5.00 HSN code so now was the time.

 

Skinn Hand Restore A/S (4 oz. tube) - this was always a favorite of mine.  It was on a nice sale price (half the price of the 2 oz. duo) and I was able to get the $5.00 discount on the first shipment.

 

Philosophy Amazing Grace Eau de Parfum Intense purse spray - I like having purse sprays since it’s not a huge commitment and easy for travel.

 

Laura Geller Italian Marble Lipsticks (Honey Bun, StrawberryToffee, Peach Bellini) - purchased three from her website with a 35% off code and discounted shipping.

 

Dr. Denese Advanced Firming Pads A/D (300) - re-upped for another two year’s worth of pads.  The first delivery now and one more A/D in  a year.  I had a current similar A/D  from last year that was a smidge more in price and the was shipment scheduled to ship in February anyway, so I just got the ball rolling a little earlier.  Dr.Denese says to use these at night but I use them in the mornings with no adverse effects.  I had thought about letting my pad subscription run out and then move on to another 10% glycolic pad from somewhere else, but decided why mess up my system?

 

Kim Gravel LWYA Hydrakiss Lip Gloss Duo (both sets) - call me crazy but the lip glosses were the only part of her lip TSV that I liked.  There aren’t many reviews and those that are there aren’t stellar.  I’m not looking for a huge color payoff but more as a topper.  If it provides more color on me, I won’t be mad.  Since there was free shipping I decided to try them.  I hope ai didn't make a mistake.  We’ll see. The ETA isn't until next week. 

 

Olay Cleansing Melts - my first try, purchased for travel.

 

Bliss Glycolic Pads - my first purchase, just a small set of individually wrapped pads that I will use for travel at the end of the month.

 

Perlier Youth Creator Eye Serum A/D - I’ve been using this AM and PM for a couple of weeks.  The bottle is supposed to last 60 days, but I am thinking that’s only when used once per day.  I bumped  my next shipment up just so I’d have it on hand, if I ran out before 60 days. I’m tracking it, so we’ll see.

 

Gold Bond Neck & Chest Firming Cream - it’s been quite awhile since I’ve used this but decided to get back on it again.

 

BTW - I’ve been using the Calista Go Go Mini I purchased a couple of weeks ago and, I have to say it’s a great little tool.  Don’t let the size fool you.  It heats up quickly and does the job.  Granted, my hair is short so I can’t attest to how it works with medium or long hair.  I just know I like it much better than the one I had been using prior.  It’s ideal for travel but has also become my everyday heated styling brush. I'm considering ordering a spare.

@JeanLouiseFinch  - I like the Royal Elixir cleanser quite a bit and saw that it was on special pricing last week.  Since I already have a few in my stash, decided not to get another one this time  Hopefully, it will go on sale again soon.  Have been using the Youth Creator Eye Serum twice a day and so far so good.  Although, have to admit I've been lazy about doing my nighttime skin care so haven't used it for a few days.  That might help stretch it out until the next shipment the beginning of Dec.

 

If you would like to sub for me next week, that would be great!  Thank you for offering!
