Tresemme hair care! I honestly love Pantene but Tresemme is super nice too.

These were on sale for 7$ for 2 :)

I already have one in my shower but these are like staples. I love Aussie's 3 min miracle. Best leave in conditioner ever. These were on sale for 2.98 so I got two.

John Freida hair dye in 3N or Deep Brown-Black.

My hair was a golden color for summer so I decided to slowly make my way to darker browns for the fall and winter.

After I dyed my hair with this, it was nearly black but after a few washes it went to a dark brown but not as chocolate-y and dark as the color on the box. I think I'll need to dye my hair 1-2 more times to achieve my old dark hair. But it's fine the color is still super nice. It's still technically summer so I have time to get my hair darker.

I will be doing another post specifically on this hair dye!

First Revlon lip butter in "Lollipop".

My second favorite. The Revlon Berry Smoothie.

This color is super nice and I believe this color should be flattering for ALL skin tones.

One thing I'm not a fan of is that it's the most melt-y out of all my lip butters.

I don't know why but it's super gross looking like in the picture because of how meltable it is, even in room temperature.

I like the color but I'm kind of meh on the shimmer.

Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait.

I actually really like this color too. This is kind of identical to Berry Smoothie in my opinion.

I don't know if it's because of my lip's natural color or what but it is the exactly the same on my lips.

Looks gorgeous in the tube though!

My favorite of all the lip butters I have purchased. It's kind of like Berry Smoothie without the shimmer.

It's pretty and natural. I think this would be flattering for ALL skin colors too. Love, love, love this!

It's like this dusty rose color.

Revlon Lip Gloss. I don't know why but the pictures with the floral background for this lip gloss was taken in normal room lighting. It LOOKS like a light pink color but it is actually this coral color with gold shimmer.

This is a more right color.

It is the Revlon Colorburst lip gloss in "Peony".

Unlike other lip glosses where the tip is slanted, the brush is flat.

The lip gloss smells terrible but nothing that bad I can't take it. I just think it smells crappy.

The color is worth it though. It's perfect to layer over the lip butters or wear alone.

I took some out already but I bought some hair ties without the metal part because it's better for your hair!

Randomly bought this. I don't know about the smell. It smells kind of good yet kind of gross at the same time.

This is great for a light exfoliation before shaving or to use on a daily basis to get rid of dead skin cells!

A closer look at the scrub :)

Aussie's Catch the Wave Mousse and leave in conditioner.

For some reason, my hair is still permed from a perm I did nearly a year ago abroad. Usually perms last a really short while for me haha. Since I recently cut my hair, I'm cutting back on the heat. I decided to use a mousse instead. Still some sort of damage from the chemicals and but I don't think it'd be as bad as the heat from the curling wand.

This is really good. I usually put a lot to make sure I get all my hair with the product or else there'd be some limp semi-curly strands. If you put a lot, you'd get some crunch but if you rub it between your fingers, it softens without flaking. It smells delicious and I use this after a shower after squeezing and blotting the water out with a towel. I also love how it has a leave-in conditioner.

Definitely recommend for anyone that's looking for some small beachy waves without the heat.

The tip.

The two nail polishes that caught my eye.

The pink is this dusty rose color and the blue one reminded me of a China Glaze color.

Putting my Cynthia Rowley Band-aid to use! Hahaha

The names of the polishes!

Swatch of the "Vintage Rose" nail polish

This is only one coat. Extremely opaque, no streaking, super love!

Swatch of the "Blue Slate" nail polish

I was too lazy to wipe the vintage rose off, so I just painted it on top hehe.

It's super pretty. It's actually a little bit more grey teal in real life than in the picture though.

It's sort of a black tank top on the upper half and scrunches in at the waist then flows on the bottom.

There were two colors. The other color's material were not of great quality for some reason. I didn't like the other color also. So win win for me!

The fabric is pretty sturdy and it's really smooth.

Closer look at the pattern and the hi low cut.

14.99$

Randomly got a sweater. I'm transitioning from summer clothes to three quarter long sleeves to sweaters and long sleeves for the winter.

As plain as it looks here. It's pretty nice on. The material isn't cotton which makes me sad but it's really soft and comfortable.

The sleeves.

I think like 7-8$

They had several colors but I really like grey or blue sweats. I already have black and grey sweats so I went for the blue ones. They are so perfect. I'm petite (around 5'3) and the hem cuffs loosely RIGHT at my ankle. They're the perfect length! They are super comfortable but I won't be wearing them as often now because it's still very hot in Cali :(

15$ ish I believe

This is such a pretty and fun skirt. I don't have any bright or red skirts and I have a LOT of skirts.

I think the polka dots are so cute. It's like a lady bug skirt :)

11$

Awkward putting a bra up here but there shouldn't be a Gilly Hicks haul without a bra! Polka dots like my skirt.

15-20$ It's been a while!

Let see!

Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Gel

I am SO glad that I didn't get any shower gel because I have a haul coming! I went to Bath and Body Works yesterday because they had a Buy 3 Get 3 Free!

I love the Japanese Cherry Blossom smell, I got the large lotion but I have never tried their shower items so I guess this will be exciting. I wouldn't have picked this because I have so much soap and shower gels but I suppose there's no harm in trying this! Better than a lousy sample that wasn't suited for me :)

EMANI Foundation Primer and Hydrating Serum

I actually didn't want this one because I'm not fond of primers. I have 2 already and have neutral opinions of them. One from the ELF mineral collection and one from a previous BA box. They both felt and acted the same way for me. A velvety texture that made my face feel smoother. While my face felt smooth, I didn't feel like it made any difference, which is why I'm not that fond of them. Primers are supposed to help smooth any wrinkles and blemishes over and such but meh. This is supposed to be hydrating so I will use this after my moisturizer and before my BB cream. After testing it out, I won't be using on a daily basis hahah

NAILTIQUES Formula 2 Nail Protein

I wanted this when I saw it because I've been recently really intense on my nails. I don't have any nail treatments so this seems like it would be fun to try out. This is already sold out so I wonder if this is a great product or not :)

My nails aren't soft, peeling, bitten, weak or thin but it would be nice to PREVENT them from doing those things! I'll probably end up putting this on my toenails too because they are pretty weak. I chipped off half my toenail from stubbing my toe and .....more. I'd rather not go into it. With that mental image in mind, onto the next sample LOL!

SKYN ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

I love eye gels because my eye area is always dry and I always sleep really few hours so it is super nice to relax with them on. The dryness has actually improved with the MAC hydrating cream so I might look into that also ;)

It's claiming a lot so hopefully it does everything it says it would. I can't wait!

LIPSI COSMETICS Aphrodite Powder

This is a finishing powder. Actually now looking at this, I wouldn't have gotten this either. I only use powder occasionally. Because my skin is so dry in the summer, BB cream is enough for me. We'll see how this goes since it says for all skin types and tones! :) I can't wait to see the packaging. I wonder if it will be like the bareMinerals sample with the cute little container hhaha

Bottom Right

NUME Hydro Punch Shampoo

I actually wanted this. I usually HATE getting Shampoo and Conditioner, mainly due to size problems. But the sample is quite generous. I THINK I got the conditioner from BA. I'm totally in love with the conditioner. Mainly because of the smell. It smells sooo good. The conditioner works average but the smell, the smell, the smell. I can't wait!

So I have been on the fence lately about this mascara and I finally got it at Ulta.

The original price for this is 23$ but at Ulta you get a little one with it! I've heard very good things about this so I was excited to test this out.

The brush is really stiff. There are hard plastic bristle/spikes and at the end is a ball of spikes. You can't really distinguish it in the picture.

I didn't find it that amazing for the price. The Maybelline Falsies gave me the same if not better results. This is really good at separating my eyelashes. There is some volume but doesn't do much for length. After 2 coats, it is clumpy. It doesn't flake for me like other people said. It's hard for me to get it to the root of my eyelashes because the bristles are so hard and plastic-y. The formula is pretty good. It doesn't budge unless you go full-out rubbing your eye. 

In my opinion, save your money. It's not worth the 23$ :(
