collective miscellaneous subscriptions

i've been sitting here trying to figure out a cohesive way to group over a year's worth of haul-related photos, and i think the best for this one is to just have a few different brands' subscriptions lumped into one post, since there's only a couple boxes from each brand. so here ya go! ~Lindsay

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2019 -- this one's technically not a subscription, but i had to put it somewhere... and these are sometimes hard to get because they sell out fast!

1. i was so excited that i got another wayne goss brush! i'm pretty sure it's the air brush, comparing it to my other one (it's not labeled).
2. the natasha denona camel palette has become a staple in my routine since i'd gotten it. it's the perfect neutral set!
3. i really like the good molecules super peptide serum. i have no idea why, but i'm on my third bottle now, and that's saying something!

Target beauty boxes -- these too i suppose aren't subscriptions exactly..but it did kind of start out like a surprise box! these days, they disclose the contents of the boxes on the product listing, and based on the items in the festival favorites box, i decided to go ahead and order. the same can be said about these two boxes that i'd found in the store.

1. i've been wanting to try out the thayers witch hazel products, and this gave me the perfect excuse! i literally opened it just the other day, so i haven't actually tried it yet.
2. i think i mentioned it in my empties post, but i like these native deodorants. i think i prefer the cucumber over the coconut though.

Walmart beauty boxes

1. have i talked about these pantene foam shampoo things before? i don't like them at all. they're difficult to open if your hands are wet and it doesn't feel like you did anything to your hair when you go to wash.
2. i don't think i really talked about the pantene repair shot in my empties post, but i liked this. i think you're better off buying a tub of a hair mask rather than these, but it was nice to try.

1. i'm on the fence about these hello toothpastes. they work, but the clean feeling in my mouth doesn't last for very long..
2. i was so excited to see that bioderma is being sold at walmart now! woot! otherwise, stock up during the beautylish black friday bundle sale!

PopSugar Must Have boxes

1. i think i gave away most of the contents of this box as gifts, because they are great gifts.
2. i tried using the bliss wipes and didn't find them very effective at removing makeup. sad.
3. i also kept the tarte mask, but haven't gotten around to using it yet.

Fall 2019

1. i loved being able to choose the color of purse that came with this box! it is a bit odd that it's leather but doesn't have that distinct leather smell. it's super cute!
2. so when i took this photo, i didn't realize that the vahdam tea package actually contained 5 different varieties of their tumeric loose leaf tea. i've tried most, if not all of these at least once, and only really liked one or two. paul actually really likes this brand of tea for some other blend, so it was cool seeing something familiar in the box!
3. i also love that i got to pick the ring color and shade of the charlotte tilbury lipstick! the ring is super cute, and the lipstick will get passed along because i actually already had an open sample of pillow talk when i'd submitted my choice.

cyber two weeks and other recent hauls

hi guys! so online shopping is a bigger thing this year, and a lot of places were doing sales for like "black friday week" and "cyber [monday] week" thus...two weeks of sales. also, a few items snuck into a few late/last minute photos i was taking....so we're just going to rename this post to 'and other recent' hauls..... 😉 ~Lindsay

cyber deals
popsugar must have sale -- i can't remember the exact deal, but it worked out to be 3 boxes for about $60 (august through november 2017), which is awesome considering they're $40 a month. i ordered two for me (october and november), and another as a gift.
beautylish black friday bioderma sale -- they've done this for the last year or more, where you get a free travel size with each 500mL bottle you buy, and it's $30 to get free shipping, so i just got the 3(6) pack for $45ish? something like that. i won't need micellar water for a loooong time!

october, november

tarte tarteist pro glow to go palette

sephora sent out coupons to everyone. this year's rouge coupon was $25 off $50, so i ordered another fenty foundation in 140 and a nude beautyblender. i also redeemed points for the new beautyblender pro cleanser bar because it's $45 for a 5oz bar! that's crazy! but maybe it'll be awesome? who knows..
while i was at it...i bought more sponges! all of the blenders! i got a set of lamora sponges from amazon for like $13. i was also at target and got the blue sponge for $5, not sure of the brand because there were only two stickers on the container: the barcode and the price, and i tossed it. for those interested, i found these sponges on an endcap in the makeup section with other minis, and i approve! i also got two nugg masks, one for the face and their lip mask. the lip mask is only ok, it's basically blistex ointment in a pot for more money..? idk. then, at walmart, i saw these soo ae masks and needed to try them!

PlannerStudio on etsy was having a black friday deal 30 sheets of mi'me's for $30 in skin/hair colors of choice. uh heck yes. not only that, she allowed for 5 keywords to cater the random pulls. there are a couple duplicates, but for the most part, she was spot on with some sheets that i wanted, which was super exciting! her shop is definitely worth the wait! (note: these sheets are about the size of a baseball card)

other recent haul things
sephora -- saw tracy and stephanie talking about this sephora favorites set at jcp and had to get it! as mentioned earlier, buy all the beautyblenders! i love all nighter and tattoo liner, smashbox primer's pretty good, and three other things to try? heck yes! then, makeup forever appears to have repackaged (reformulated too??) their artist eyeshadows, so i got 3 (M532, ME912, ME840) and a large pan to try! (you get some kind of discount when you buy them with cases..) and i don't recall how i redeemed them, but i also obtained a mini tom ford lipstick in indian rose and too faced milk chocolate soleil bronzer.
makeup geek was doing a 12 days of christmas sale, and i had been eyeing their nude palette for a while now, but couldn't bring myself to buy it because i already had half of the shades in it. when i saw that they were offering the always quad with the 4 new shadows, i jumped on it because these were what i wanted from that palette!

stila patina, tarte stunner

M532, ME912, ME840, so pale, buffed, creased, dark roast -- swatched over primer

tom ford indian rose, too faced milk chocolate

ulta -- these guys have been ridiculously awesome this year. all of the crazy awesome brands that they're now carrying, in a week or two they're going to announce their new tier of membership (which will likely be akin to rouge status), and of course the points become dollars off your purchase. yes. anyway, they sent out yet another 20% off everything including prestige... and i'm about halfway down my tarte maracuja eye cream, so i decided to get another, and get a backup it cosmetics bye bye under eye corrector in light. i also got two tony moly sheet masks, and they were offering mystery bags, which i'll probably give most of away because i'm not going to use it. but awesome nonetheless!

OWML 2nd anniversary box -- sooo many goodies!!!

OMWL & TCMC december/end of year stickers

popsugar must have december 2017

hi guys! i got an email on black friday for $15 off december's popsugar must have box*. so i "gifted" myself another non-reoccurring subscription box for $25, because they're teh awesome and i love them. >w< ~Lin-chan ^.~
pshhhh. i just copied and pasted that ☝ from an old post..but it's still applicable, so why not? lol.

here's my impressions:

1. tilo twilight scarf ($98) -- this is such a nice scarf! to be honest, i haven't even used the one that i got last time (dec 2014)... so it's living with that one for now until i decide to use it. but i really like the color and it's perfect for louisiana weather!
• tiloscarves.com
2. lalicious extraordinary whipped sugar scrub in sugar kiss ($35) -- i'm super excited to use this. i love sugar scrubs! this smells really nice too! this is more of a solid granular scrub as opposed to having some sort of liquid or gel-like substance holding the sugar together. so i guess you'd say it's 'dry'? anyway, i'm interested in trying it out.
• lalicious.com
3. chloe + isabel pave bar long pendant necklace ($42) -- this is a pretty simple necklace. i'm trying to decide it's fate because i don't know if i'll actually wear this..
• chloeandisabel.com
4. wild ophelia sugar cookie chocolate bar ($3) -- i'm passing this along because i don't eat chocolate, and teh paul thinks the ingredients are too yuppie, if one could call food that..
• wildophelia.com
5. baublebar sugar and spice coaster set (4 coasters, $38) -- who the F will pay $38 for some pieces of acrylic with glitter in it..? that aside, these are pretty, simple, and nice.
• baublebar.com
6. ashkahn for you gift tags ($12) -- these are really cute. i'm the type to recycle gift bags, so having tags is always nice to add to them when reusing.
• ashkahn.com
7. pier 1 imports cocktail candle in vanilla burbon ($15) -- before burning this, it didn't really smell like a whole lot. i've been burning this candle for several hours today and i don't smell it at all. like if i'm within a foot or so, i smell a lil bit of somethin. but that's about it... maybe other scents are better..but this one is whatever.
