Hello Tuesday my lovelies!! Hope you're all having a fantastical day. I am oddly in a superb mood... The weather probably has something to do with it. :P Such a lovely day in the neighborhood. I hope it rains! I need some rain on my life. Haha.
So a couple weeks ago, I placed an order on
drugstore.com because I had some coupon that was fast expiring and the Chapstick I needed were only available on drugstore, soooooooo... ya know. Shipping normally is $6-ish but they had a spend $35, free shipping deal. It wouldn't be right if I bought a $4 lip balm and paid $6 for shipping. No.. Never!
Ever so conveniently, I came across the new EOS lip balm that I have not seen in stores yet. So I basically stocked up on lip balms. It's Winter, I'll be needing these anyways. Haha... delusional excuses.
But yeah, here are the things I picked up from drugstore, all of which are mostly lip balms. Hope y'all enjoy! :)
LIPS
Nivea A Kiss Of Milk & Honey Soothing Lip Care
Chapstick Moisturizer with SPF 12 in Green Apple
Chapstick Moisturizer in Apple Caramel
EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balm Sphere in Vanilla Mint
EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balm Sphere in Coconut Milk
EOS Limited Edition Collection Inspired by Rachel Roy in Barbados Heat Wildberry
Lip balms, lip balms and more lip balms. Who's complaining? Sure ain't me! I love lip balms, I looooove the feeling of smooth, healthy lips. I tend to go crazy during the Winter months though. The cold weather and lack of moisture just sucks the life out of my skin. I will always have some sort of lip balm on me and all day, errrrday applying them.
The Green Apple Chapsticks are a personal favorite amongst the brother and I, we use it for bed time. Apply it before bed and it will stay on for 8+ hours. The scent is just heavenly! I have a weakness for anything Green Apple.
Speaking of apple, look at this snazzy thing, apple on one end, caramel on the other. Can anyone say genius? Apple on the top lip and caramel on the bottom is how I wear mine. Simply delicious. ;)
I'd prefer Chapstick and EOS over Nivea any ol' day but I use Nivea as a fill in if that makes sense. I throw it in my bag for on the go a lot. I also use Nivea as a lip balm treatment while I apply my makeup. I already own the Kiss of Smoothness and Kiss of Green Tea and Olive Oil I think so I wanted to try this one. Not my most favorite I must say, I prefer the Kiss of Smoothness.
Annnd of course, more EOS lip balms. They are so inconveniently bulky and a pain to store but I love them to pieces! EOS has got to be the best lip balm I have EVER tried, hands down, drug store and high end. I know some people don't see the hype in it but I am crazy about them. I have all the scents. LOL. Their formula is amazing.
I have not seen these two new scents in store yet so might as well pick them up while they're still around. I already love the Mint scent, now Vanillas Mint? Uh, yes please! Coconut Milk I'm not too crazy about but that just might be me, I'm not too fond of the coconut scent. And the last one, limited edition, ugh... Smells so yummy! It's a bit too strong compared to other EOS scents so it might be a turn off for the normal EOS users.
EYES
NYX The Adorable Shadow Palette
Another eyeshadow palette?! I have waaaay too many eyeshadows, I shouldn't buy anymore said no makeup enthusiasts ever. LOL. I've actually had my eyes on this palette for quite some time but never actually felt like I needed it. It's basically a nude palette, similar to the many nude palettes that I already own. Oh the struggle..
I finally went for it this time because I needed to reach $35 and I had coupons so.. I know, I know. Horrible reasoning but it worked. Haha.
Besides the packaging being super cute, I also adore NYX's eyeshadows. It is truly one of the best drug store eyeshadows ever. I've actually used this once already and I was not disappointed. Pigmented, no fallouts, applied so creamily, easy to blend. I cannot get enough of it. I think there were two other palettes, Natural and Smoky, that I may just have to pick up now. Ohhhh boy.
TOOLS
EcoTools Six Piece Essential Eye Set
One can never have enough brushes, especially if they are EcoTools. They are incredibly soft and easy to handle; I don't think I've ever came across an EcoTools brush that I did not like. This set in particular is travel sized which is sooooo handy when packing. You just wanna bring everything but you can't bring everything. Welllp, super glad I came across these babies and for a discount too. I believe I snatched these for about $5.
Speaking of traveling, it also comes with its own travel pouch-case thingy. I might not use it for these brushes but it is a nice pouch that I can definitely use for other purposes.
I hope y'all enjoyed my little haul. It's nothing exciting but I know there are those of you who are interested in seeing my purchases and basically get an idea of what works for me. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :D
