Origins haul: was it worth it?

I'm not going to lie to y'all - I've spent a lot of money during lockdown. I really didn't mean to, but I'm lucky enough to still be gainfully employed, and sometimes I can't resist a little retail therapy. Or a lot of retail therapy. One of my many hauls was from Origins, for reasons...

I went to Lush and got some stuff!

While I was in Boston this weekend I went to a Lush store. For the first time ever.     Now, I've been to Boston to visit my friends (Mike and Tasha... hi guys!) several times in the six years that they've lived there, and I had no idea how close they were to a...

TAM Beauty haul

Do you ever get a package in the mail and your first thought is "What the hell did I order this time?" It's a common occurrence in my house, especially when I place international orders. So it went with my package from TAM Beauty. When my partner brought in the mail he gave me that...

I have a thing about palettes

Don't we all? Especially when they're on sale! I picked up the Urban Decay Afterglow Highlighter palette for half price ($17).   I also picked up one of the Morphe palettes I've had my eye on for awhile. These have only recently started being sold at Ulta, and I love that I can pick up...

E.L.F. haul!

So I got a few things from E.L.F. This is another one of those brands that I love because they consistently sell quality products at a great price (meaning cheap). There are five full-size products in this haul that I didn't pay for; the site was running a fall promotion, so I received two lip...

My Little Pony, My Little Pony…

My stuff arrived! I'm not typically a sucker for cool/cute packaging but this collection got me.  Do you see how freaking cute this stuff is?! You've outdone yourselves this time Colourpop. I cannot wait to try this stuff tomorrow. 

I think it’s fall now

As I've mentioned once or twice, I live in upstate New York. We've had sort of an odd summer; it was very rainy and not as hot as normal, but since Labor Day the weather has been gorgeous. Sunny, hot, perfect summer weather. I think someone switched on fall because today it's gray, gloomy and...

Essence “haul” and discount code

I finally received the stuff I ordered from Essence during their Labor Day sale. I hesitate to call it a haul since the entire order cost $18, but I did get a fair few things. I used a couple of the items last night and a full review is forthcoming but in the meantime, I...

I’m not allowed in the drugstore anymore

So, I went to the drugstore the other day... Admittedly, I actually needed some of this stuff, like the cleanser so I can clean my brushes and the scrub because my skin has been a little gross. Also, the sponges because the one I have is extra gross. What I didn't need was five foundations,...
