Bath and Body Works Travel Size Body Mists!

Published on by danabuchmiller1 Comment

I love purchasing mini perfumes from Bath and Body Works! That way, I can try as many scents as possible.

This weekend, they are discounted down to $3.50 each. A typical sale is $4 each, and full retail price is $6.50. When I saw the sale, I had pick up a couple and bring them home with me!

Champagne Apple & Honey smells like a robust mix between red apples, cherries and champagne. It is an amazing scent, and reminds me of orchard picking when Ben and I lived in Rexburg. I’m wearing this one right now!

Gingham reminds me of wildflowers and fresh squeezed orange juice. It also reminds of picking oranges with Ben at his childhood home in Santa Barbara. I love it when scent helps evoke cherished memories.

While I didn’t purchase them, I also liked Pretty As A Peach, Wild Blackberry Vanilla and Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte.

October Empties!

Published on by danabuchmiller1 Comment

It’s empties time again! I love sharing what products I use up, and what I think of them. Without further ado, let’s dive in!

L’Oréal Sleek It Iron Heat Spray

Price: $3.97, Amazon

This is my second bottle of this heat protection spray. It works well in keeping my hair from getting damaged when I blow dry my hair. For the price, I think this works great!

Verdict: A Beauty Must Have!

Maybelline Snapscara

Price: $5.84, Amazon

This mascara is supposed to be easy to put on and easy to take off. Sadly, neither was the case. The wand was awkward to use, and I had to scrub just as hard to take off. The volume was decent, but lashes didn’t hold a curl.

Verdict: Bottom of the Waste Basket!

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara

Price: $9.99, Walmart

I definitely liked this mascara much better. I like the wand, and the formula gives good length. That said, there’s not a lot of volume. It’s not surprising considering it’s advertised as a lengthening mascara. I love to layer it with L’Oréal Paradise or Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara. On its own, it’s average.

Verdict: Meh… It’s Okay

L’Oréal Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation

Price: $11.97, Walmart

I am on my second bottle of this foundation. It makes my skin look smooth and lasts all day. Plus I love the SPF 25 in it.

Verdict: A Beauty Must Have!

Juicy Couture Perfume

Price: $58, Ulta

This scent is a classic. It smells sweet and fruity, which are my favorite notes in a perfume. Ben says I smell like peaches when I wear it. I like varying my perfumes, so I will be buying something else next time. That said, it’s a good choice.

Verdict: Not Too Shabby!

Pudaier Glitter Liquid Eyeshadow

Price: $5, Wish

I love this so much that I already bought a replacement. It has a punch of glitter and looks great layered with other eyeshadows. You can read a more in-depth beauty review here.

Verdict: A Beauty Must Have!

Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment

Price: $59 (Full Size), Sephora

I got this sample for my birthday as a Sephora beauty insider member last year. This mask is spendy, but does do a pretty good job at spot treating acne. I can’t use it as a full face mask, as it irritates my skin. So there is that…

Verdict: Not Too Shabby!

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

Price: $68 (full size), Sephora

I also got this as a Sephora birthday present. Sadly I wasn’t impressed. It did a good job as a basic moisturizer, but nothing more. For the price, I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Verdict: Meh… It’s Okay

Beauty Review: Pudaier Liquid Eyeshadow

Published on by danabuchmiller2 Comments

There are some treasures I can’t help but share. This eyeshadow is one of those little gems. I love it so much that I am on my second tube!

This glitter eyeshadow is just beautiful. It has great shine, layers well on top of powder eyeshadow. And, not only does it work well – it’s only $5 on Wish!

 

 

I have tried four colors, and my favorite is #7, a gold shade, as shown above. My second favorite is #17, a baby pink.

Stila makes comparable liquid eyeshadow -I did a post on their Jezebel (Rose Gold) Liquid Eyeshadow. This works just as well, but for a fraction of the price! I definitely recommend.

If you would like to get 50% off your first order at Wish, you can use my referral coupon code:

If you would like to try this eyeshadow, you can buy it here.

Stay tuned next time, until my next beauty review!

XOXO,

Dana

August Empties

Published on by danabuchmillerLeave a comment

It’s that time again! Here are my empties for August.

Garnier Fructis Whole Blends Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner

I tried this shampoo/conditioner duo after loving the Honey Treasures version. I definitely like Honey Treasures better. This duo is a little too heavy and weighs down my hair.

Verdict: Into the Waste Basket

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo

I got this travel size version and fell in love with the dry shampoo. It works well to soak up oil without getting my scalp too gritty. The scent is nice too. I will definitely be repurchasing!

Verdict: A Beauty Must-Have!

And that’s it for today!

Bath and Body Works Peach Bellini Hand Soap

Published on by danabuchmillerLeave a comment

One of my favorite things to do is stock up on hand soaps from Bath and Body Works, during the after Christmas sale. You can get them for $3 each, instead of the typical 6 for $24 sale price they offer.

I just finished my favorite soap, the Peach Bellini hand soap. It smells like the candy peach rings that I am addicted to. 🍑 I am so sad that it’s empty!!!!

Luckily it is still available! You can buy the Peach Bellini soap here!

Beauty Review: Milani Silky Matte Bronzer

Published on by danabuchmiller2 Comments

I got a new bronzer and I absolutely adore it! It is the Milani Silky Matte Bronzer in Sunlight. I have been looking for a light, neutral bronzer, and this one fits the bill.

I also love the formula. It is soft, buttery and not too dusty. My brush picks up just the right amount and it blends like a dream.

This bronzer comes in 3 shades, this one being the lightest.

As you can see, there is a gentle bronzing to the skin, without looking streaky or overly done. This is my new favorite!

Makeup Worn:

Face:

  • L’Oréal Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation in Rose Ivory/415
  • Milani Silky Matte Bronzer in Sunlight
  • Neutrogena Moisture Smooth color stick in Sweet Watermelon/30

  • Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter in Pearl
