LUSH Cleanse + Tone

I have never shopped at LUSH (shock!!) I went in for the first time this past weekend and came out with these 2 beauties. I'm super excited for both and I have been using the Tea Tree Water Toner Water all week. The sales associate said I should be cautious since the Tea Tree toner might dry out my skin since it fights and prevents acne, but so far I have not noticed any changes. It's a nice simple toner and I think I'm just a little obsessed with spray toners. Really wakes and freshens up the face.

The Tea Tree Water Toner Water helps with oily acne prone skin. It helps brighten dull tired skin while keeping blemishes at bay. Tea Tree Water helps reduce redness and excess oil - a great way to begin your morning routine!

The UltraBland Facial Cleanser is another product I am extremely excited to use. I tested it at the store but I have not yet used it at home. I am currently using the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish at night to wash my face and remove all my makeup.

Ultrabland is a rich oily/waxy consistency of essential oils, honey and beewax to help remove makeup and cleanse your face. After you spread it all over your face you can use a wet hot towel to wipe off the cleanser to reveal soft and ultra moisturized skin. This is a cult product that everyone loves so I'm excited to start using it soon!

Drugstore Haul

I picked up a few things I'm excited about from CVS and drugstore.com! Those are probably the 2 places I shop most for drugstore makeup.

it's a 10 miracle leave-in plus kertain
i'm almost out of my sexy healthy hair soy tri-wheat leave in conditioner and i wanted to try something new. i love leave-in conditioning sprays. they're super easy and i need something to help detangle my hair a little since it's colored. the title, it's a 10, suggests it does 10 things instantly:

• maintenance of keratin straightening treatments
• increases styling & manageability
• perfect for all hair types
• replaces lost protein
• protects the natural keratin in hair
• protects against heat
• restores hydration balance
• restores hydration balance
• detangles, de frizzes & adds shine
• strengthens hair structure
• seals cuticles for extra silky hair

tweezerman deluxe cosmetic sharpener
i just desperately needed a new sharpener for my eye pencils. i love that this one has a lid on the top and bottom to catch the pieces that get shaved off.

rimmel stay matte powder in 001 transparent 
this is a repurchase! this is just an amazing product for the price. i use this pretty much every morning to remove the shine from the t-zone and i like the transparent shade so i can use it year round.

rimmel scandaleyes shadow stick in bad girl bronze
i've already used this for the past week. i couldn't wait. it's a really beautiful russet brown color that blends extremely easily to a sheer wash of color depending how strong you want the color. After you get the look you want the color doesn't budge! Great waterproof formula.

loreal infallible eyeshadow in bronzed taupe
after hearing so much hype around this particular shade i just had to get it. it's pretty amazing... it's a pressed powder eyeshadow but it doesn't really feel like powder powder. it goes on incredibly easy and is pretty shimmery. it's easy to blend and work with on the eyes and also has great staying power.

aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer with SPF 15
it's been awhile since i tried a drugstore moisturizer that i really liked. i picked this up because again i've heard a lot of great things about it online. This moisturizer claims to even out skin tone, improve skin texture and leave skin soft and smooth in as little four weeks. It contains Total Soy Complex and Natural Light Diffusers that naturally even out skin tone and immediately reflect light to bring out skin's natural radiance. excited to test it out!

Any drugstore product recommendations I should pick up?

New Makeup Bits

Just wanted to mention a few new products I have picked up recently that I have been excited about. This is somewhat of a mini haul post I guess!

1. Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me
This is my fourth Babylips purchase. No question I love these balms! This shade especially has become my favorite because it's super moisturizing and gives your lips a this beautiful sheer red popsicle stain apperance.

2. Loreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions - Waterproof in Blackest Black
Besides Anna from ViviannaDoesMakeup always raving about this, I thought the wand looked very similiar to YSL baby doll mascara and I love that YSL mascara. I don't think this is the original Loreal Telescopic (there seem to be many different versions) and this is the Shocking Extensions version. I am eager to try this once my Revlon Lash Potion dries out. I think these wands are my preferred mascara wand choice.

3. Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum
I was so excited about this deluxe sample because I have heard great things about this lifting dark spots. I will report back but this should help also prevent freckles, pigmentation and dark spots.

4. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Esprit
I am so obsessed with everything about this lipstick. This is my first Rouge Coco Shine lipstick but I have a feeling I'm going to be picking up many more in the future. I picked a color from the new collection. I love my berry lipsticks so I'm so happy to be carrying this around.

5. Essie nail polish in A Crewed Interest
If you google image this I think you'll know why I picked this up. It's beautiful! It looks great with a tan and I currently have it on my toes! Great summer nail polish.

What have you guys been shopping for lately?
