Last Saturday of the month = my January Humble Beauty Opinion!
My monthly subscriptions, purchases, reviews, wishlists & empties!
As always, lets start with my monthly subscription
Ipsy!
I liked this month's bag- I like the Ahava hand cream
and the Milani highlighter in "Instant Glow Powder"
Have yet to try the other products
but I HATE this month's bag- it is plastic and looks so cheap not a fan.
I picked the Youth To The People "Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil"
this month but have yet to try it
I also wanted to do a little update/review on this little set that I picked up from
Ipsy:
I really wanted to try micro needling and this was the perfect little trial set,
So far I have been enjoying it, I wanted to use it on a particular patch of skin on my jaw line
that has some scar tissue from a deep zit (probably maskne)
and it has definitely has been helping that heal and fade.
I only use it about once a week/once every two weeks and on the weekend
since you are not suppose to wear makeup for 24 hours.
So far so good!
Honestly I have a lot of products to try/use these days
so I may put a pause on my
Ipsy subscription...
I think I will wait to see what the February bag has in store
The reason why I have SO MUCH to try these days is due
to my AMAZING Christmas gifts from my mother-in-law!
because they were worth the wait for my Humble Beauty Opinion post!
Let's just start with the stocking:
Look at all these goodies!
I am loving the Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Spray- all these products smell so good!
I have yet to try the GlamGlow Starpotion
but I already know I love the Smashbox Photo Finish primer!
& that MAC "Mischief Minx" palette?!
BEAUTIFUL!
Love the packaging and the warm shades!
Then I got a HUGE bag of goodies!
I mean 😳😍
To top is all off----
I got this INCREDIBLE MAC Advent Calendar!!!
👀 at this thing!!!
I love the variety of the mini lipsticks:
top- "Pink Pigeon" | "Russian Red" | "Cockney" (I think this is my fave!)
bottom- "Sin" | "Yash" | "Relentlessly Red"
Also included in this MAC Advent Calendar:
Glosses- "Very Go Lightly" | "Explicit" | "Please Me"
MAC star keychain
MAC Prep + Prime lip
MAC LipGlass
MAC Strobe Cream
MAC Prep + Prime Base

Eyeshadows- "Shroom" (I have always wanted this!) | "Cork" | "Satin Taupe"
"Beauty Marked" | "Expensive Pink"
Pigments- "Vanilla" | "Rose" | "Melon"
AMAZINGGGGGGG
A huge thank you to my Mother-In-Law!
Got some goodies on my monthly makeup wishlist!
My favorite was Moon River, I love this tone!
I am kinda disappointed that this is still sold out and not listed as individuals
since I already have Moonstone (and honestly it is not my fave)
A very pretty collection!
I loved the little horoscopes they used to introduce this collection too:
I want this as a skittle mani ASAP!
Excited to try these!
I have got quite a lot on my wishlist this month
(I know I have been inundated by new products from my Christmas gifts but I can't help it!)
I want to try this "Teddy Bear" lipstick from
Dear Dahlia,
I love the way it looks so soft and plush on the lips!
{although it has mixed reviews online}
I must pick up this Loreal "Radical Rosewood" lip
I think I am going to try this Urban Decay "Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator"
I am looking for something with some coverage but less cakey on the face
and this looks like it might fit the bill
I have also gotten sucked into "skin care Tik Tok"
and now want to try Paula's Choice "Exfoliate Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant"
with a lot of people saying that their brushes got ruined so I am not so sure about this...
This month's empties, what I used up, loved, hated
& all my humble opinions in between:
beauty: Trader Joe's "Coconut Body Butter"- LOVE this stuff, a must have all year round | Trader Joe's "Rose Water Facial Toner" x2- obviously I love this stuff, it is the first step after cleansing in my makeup routine | Neutrogena Hydro Boost in "Radiant Rose 50"- this was one of my favorite lip glosses! The perfect amount of color and comfortable on the lips, must get a new one! | "Woman" by Ralph Lauren perfume- I loved and would purchase this! | /skin regimen/ "/energizing illumination lotion"- this as just okay but it was a lot more liquidly and scented than I expected | Sunday Riley "Luna"- I liked the way this stuff smelled and the ritual of putting it on at night but the dark blue/green color is a little intimidating | OPI "Natural Nail Strengthener"- this lasted forever and I liked it but I am ready to try the Lights Lacquer treatments!
bath: Lush "sex bomb" bath bomb- I loved the way this one smelled, would recommend! | beauty 360 Jumbo Cotton Balls- these are my fave, perfect size! | Suave "Almond + Shea Butter Conditioner"- this lasted FOREVER! I enjoyed it and it is super cheap! | Caress daily silk "white peach & orange blossom" I liked this body wash but it was nothing special | Burt's Bees' "natural acne solutions"- this was okay but sometimes left my skin a little too dry | Revlon Colorsilk "Deep Burgundy"- my fave hair color! | Trader Jacques (Trader Joe's) "French Liquid Soap"- I LOVE this hand soap, sells so fancy | Dr. Bronner's "Pure-Castile Bar Soap"- I love this soap, love the peppermint smell | Summer's Eve "Blissful Escape"- these are a must (especially for travel)! This is a new scent and I like them! | Jo Malone "Geranium & Walnut" Body Scrub- I love the scent of this and it is such a nice scrub, the scent lingers so works as a perfume too! | Sand & Sky "Australian Pink Clay" Porefining Face Mask from my
Ipsy- I liked this face mask it does feel like it tightens | the coffee scrub "rose"- I was so excited to try this! I did not know that you had to put it on and leave it on for 5 mins in the shower but I LOVE it, it leaves my skin so soft! | Trader Joe's "Peppermint Toothpaste"- I hate this as actual toothpaste, but I love it for cleaning my bathtub! It is the only thing that takes the soap scum off! I leave it on for like 5 mins and scrub it off!
candles: Yankee Candle "Evergreen Mist"- I got this to supplement our fake Christmas tree and this was a nice one! |
Rustic Sugar Creek Co "Love That Journey For Me"- I got this as a gift from my Secret Santa Courtney and I loved it! | Trader Joe's "Cedar Balsam"- I liked this but I wish these had more scent throw | Target "Cozy Nights"- this is my favorite fall/winter scent! Been a fave for years!
Whoohoo that was a long one!
