hi guys! i'm a few days late on this one. haven't been feeling like doing much of anything after coming home from work lately, so i'm trying to catch up now. i haven't decided if i'm doing a dedicated july favorites post yet or not, but it'll likely be a couple more days before i get around to it if i do. ~Lin-chan ^.~
i can't remember the reasoning for placing this order, but i bought quite a few repeat skincare items (not pictured) along with two of the new loreal cleansers to try. and for spending all the monies, there were three choices of sample bags. of the three this one had more things in it that i would be inclined to use, though one of the others had something i really wanted to try but everything else was meh. anyway, i'm keeping most of the items included here and passing others along to friends.
so. amazon prime day. i ended up placing maybe 4 separate orders throughout prime day and
these bath bombs were one of them. having them in person, they're quite small, probably smaller than lush's butterball (which is among their smallest). but i wanted to try them nonetheless.
i went to lush! it's been a looong time since i've bought myself something from there, hasn't it?! i was actually getting a few items for my mil and sil's upcoming birthdays, and got myself a
the experimenter which i haven't tried,
twilight, and
intergalactic. while there, i mentioned wanting to pick up a
wiccy magic muscles and the girl showed me the
93,000 miles shower jelly, which has the same scent. now, i have mixed feelings about the execution and usage of shower jellies, but i decided to pick one up anyway.
i can't remember if i mentioned it or not, but i got a ton fewer birthday coupon emails this year. but i don't remember if that's partially because i intentionally unsubscribed from a lot of websites over the past year or not. anyway, urban decay was among those that i did not receive. so late june or so, they sent me a 'omg we forgot your birthday' email. a few months late, but better late than never! and the gift was quite nice. they sent out a full size of their sin highligher. i still have a sample from a previous box or something that i've been neglecting... anyway, i'll hold onto this for now but i'm not sure if i'll keep it or not. and for that order, i bought an eyeshadow in tonic because
all of the unicorns.
sigma also sent me an offer i couldn't refuse: free copper F80 with purchase. heck to the yes. so i ordered their new F83 brush (which is denser and thicker in diameter than their past kabukis), and to get the free gift at $30, i added this eyeliner in nutmeg, which is a pretty color. the free gift isn't pictured because i plan to give it away.
nutmeg, sin, tonic
placed another order with skindinavia because i'm running out. they frequently have discounts and free minis with purchase, so i got 20% off on the 8oz oil control setting spray, plus minis in their regular setting spray and primer spray.
sephora did something a little different this year. they sent out a $20 off $100 coupon to rouge members for the vib program anniversary or something.. anyway, i actually ordered one more thing, but it was cancelled for being out of stock. thankfully they still charged me accordingly with the $20 off. i didn't really
need anything at the time they sent this coupon out, but i got a new pair of kat von d tattoo liners, and i wanted to try these peace out acne dots to compare them to the peter thomas roth ones. just for starters, there's a huge price difference, but i'll eventually talk about my thoughts on them. and for 100 points, i got this makeup forever aqua xl color paint in M56. i forgot to swatch it, but there's swatches on the sephora page for it. i still haven't fully decided my thoughts on it yet.
