Buys & Finds: April 16 Edition

Buys & Finds: April 16 Edition

Hope everyone had a fabulous Monday and continuing with that, has a fabulous week ahead! My Birchbox finally made it to my house after a trip for what seemed like months! I was so excited after seeing so many other boxes to receive the Zoya nail polish & hand salve, but alas neither was in my box this month. Read below to find out what actually was in my Box this month:

Atelier Cologne - Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue - Full-size, $55 - $150
Befine - Skincare Sampler - Full- size, $24 each
Oile Biologique - 004 Huile Moderne - Full-size, $56
Revolution Organics - Freedom Glow Beauty Balm - Full-size, $36

Lifestyle Extra
Le Palais des Thes - Tea Bags

I would have to say the item that I am most excited to try is the Beauty Balm, which is a beautiful color & I actually think it may show up on my skin tone(some blushes just don't!). I'm interested to try the Essential oils but a bit scared to try them on my face as it just seems odd to avoid oil filled products on your face & then just lather up with raw ones all over. The perfume smells a little girly & is called a cologne so I must do more research to find out if it is indeed for him or her. I do really enjoy Befine skincare, I have the full sizes of the Scrub, Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer, & Night Cream; they are pretty fun to use and guilt free since they are food grade products.

Today I ventured back into my local Ulta armed with my $3.50 coupon & a couple Zoya polishes in mind. I've never tried Zoya before but I've wanted to especially after I missed the buy 3 get 3 free sale! The 2 shades that I picked up were Bevin & Avril, I had to get Bevin since I was set on it arriving in my Birchbox & Avril just jumped out at me; which is so odd for a neutral color! I just finished applying 3 coats & a top coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine & I am quite pleased, it wasn't streaky & I'm in love with this shade!

I am currently in search of a serum & new day cream to use since my Clarisonic Mia 2 :Coral seems to be drying out my sensitive skin. Hopefully I will have more to post on the Clarisonic & what I find during my search this week or next.

Updates...oh Updates!

So lately I haven't exactly been on a "no-buy" but I have been more conscious and thoughtful of what I spend my money on. With that said, I did purchase $30 worth of nail polish this morning, I went crazy after trying 1 of the new Wet N Wild Megalast nail colors, it went on easy, I fell in love with the color on my nails (Sugar Coat) & I fell in lust with other swatches of the other colors in the collection! There were some gorgeous colors to consider & I enjoyed every second of putting them in my cart at CVS! Even with the 25% off I still had some buyers remorse but that is slowly slipping away!

Here's a list of the color's I picked up:
Wet Cement, Break the Ice, 2% Milk, Private Viewing, Sugar coat, Undercover, Bite the Bullet, Through the Grapevine, Under your Spell, Haze of Love, I Red a Book, On a Trip, Heatwave, Club Havana, Tropicalia, Candy-licious, Disturbia, & I Need a Refresh-Mint

Stay Tuned for another update when my "not so surprising" package arrives later this week & I can share all about it!
