Bath & Body Works Haul

HEY YOU!
SO I was in luck two days ago, I just so happen to stop by a bath and body works and saw they were having an awesome sale! They had all of their aromatherapy line for 50% off. I am such a sucker for their aromatherapy line, specifically their stress relief line. I love anything herbal, so I just couldn't pass up this steal. I had no idea they were on sale, had I known I would have been there bright and early. I was extra fortunate that day because I had a lovely retail associate helping me (usually they have pretty awesome employees). She was super nice and told me about this awesome coupon, $10 off of $30 but of course I didn't have it! So she gave me one, I was excited because it was extra saving on top of saving! So here are things that I picked up. 
Be safe & Be you!
Xo, E. 

 This is my first time buying this scent (eucalyptus tea) as it is one of their newer scents. It is also the first time I buy this product itself, so if you would like a review on how this specif item performs let me know. 
This product I have purchased multiple times. It is one of my favorite items from bath and body works. It foams up very nicely and you can use it on your poof and also as a foaming bath, I love products that have dual purposes. It smells amazing and it is not drying. 

This is my first time purchasing this item. I wasn't even aware that they had a body bar, but that might be because I actually don't like body bars. But from a recommendation from a friend I bought it. She said it smells really good and last forever so I decided to give it a shot! We shall see...

I have tried a body oil from them once,( eucalyptus spearmint scent) but I had ran out of it a million years ago I just hadn't gotten around to purchasing a new one. I love this product, it is not too slippery and it is fast absorbing. So it being half off I had to pick it up! 

I have purchased their poketbac antibacterial hand gel before. I really love these, they don't dry out my hands. I decided to try this scent because the scent of the alcohol is diluted by the awesome fragrance.

Talk Through Tutorial + First Impressions on Mally's Eye Brightener


HEY YOU!
I don't usually make such long videos, as I don't like to watch videos that are longer than 10 minutes. What is your limit?
Anyways, I tried something different and I really ended up ling this look! I used products that have been sitting in my drawers forever and never get any love! Does that ever happen to you when you buy something with the intention of using all the time and it doesn't happen? Happens to me more than I'd like to admit! SO I hope you like this look and give it a try, maybe for date night.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and watch the video! LOVE YOU!
Be safe & Be you!
Xo, E.

MINI REVIEW: 
Mally Beauty
Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightener 
Over all I would rate this:
2.8
I really didn't like this product, it was not pigmented enough to really brighten under my eyes. The consistency of this product is strange it claims to be gel like but it is so thin that it did not counteract any of the darkness under my eye. Once you apply your concealer over it, it disappears. If you are interested in trying this product, apply it after your concealer and make sure to tap it in rather than to swipe because it will come right off. For the steep price of $35 I expected more from this product. I returned it.

Wet N Wild COLORICON LIPLINER Review

Hey you!
OMG!
You'll never believe what I found at Kroger! I found these wet n wild coloricon lipliner's and they are AMAZING! First off let's talk about how long it took me to unwrap these things! They are so tightly packed I almost gave up on them...so glad I didn't! These lipliner's are 99 cents at most retailers but at Kroger with your Kroger card they come out to be 74 cents (WHAT A STEAL!). I got to say these lipliner's feel like they should be worth so much more, but I'm not complaining about the price tag! They are so creamy, highly pigmented, and smooth! There is a total of 6 shades, I only picked up these 5 because the last one wasn't a color I thought I would care for as it was frosty looking (not my style), but for the quality and price tag I might just pick it up too! If you are ever inside of a Kroger or drugstore don't hesitate to pick these up, you wont regret it I PROMISE! 
Be safe & Be you!
Xo, E. 

PROS:
Creamy
Smooth
Highly Pigmented 
Easy to use
No tugging needed
Inexpensive 
long-lasting 
unique shades
NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS (YAY!)

CONS:
Small range of colors
they stain (could be a pro for some)
hard to open (but so worth it!)
drying on the lips
too soft 

Overall I would rate these lipliners a 
4.8
These lipliners are comparable to MAC lipliners that retail for $15. They are super easy to use, however they are really soft so you have to be careful not to apply too much pressure when using them.  For the price I would say pick all of them up.

When I first received this palette in the mail I was ecstatic because I was going to come up with so many looks with it! Fast forward 3 months and nothing! It is a hard palette to incorporate this palette in everyday looks but it is so relevant and beautiful when coming up with looks for special occasions such as a festival, concert of for a photo shoot's etc....So time to dust off your electric palette and try this look! Here is my first official look using the urban decay electric palette with many more to come!

Hey you!
I am now diving into the social media world, it is truly exciting and intimidating all in one. I have always wanted to create a blog with the intention of sharing my ideas on the beauty products I try. But I was unable to do so due to time constrains being that I was a full time college student. My college journey is soon ending, and with an ending a new beginning is soon to follow. I am now taking this time to focus on what I love most which is all things beauty. I currently have a YouTube channel that I love so much, but again due to time constrains I have been unable to really set up a dedicated time and schedule for it. Soon that will all change I will be graduating in May and with that a lot of free time will be opened for me to review and just generally talk about all things beauty. I hope that what I post will be both informative and interesting. Please follow me on this journey of all things beauty!
Be safe & Be you!
