Ulta & Bed Bath and Beyond Haul!

I guess you could call me an obsessive shopper..

A brand new Ulta opened up close to me, how could I not go?!

Benefit - The Sizzlin' Six - $27
This is a set of six travel sized very popular Benefit products that I personally have always wanted to try. I thought this would be a great set to try before committing to full sized products.

Dandelion: Brightening Face Powder 
Before I start, can I say that all Benefit products smell AMAZING but aren't too overpowering. This is a light pink slightly satin powder that can be used as a blush or a highlighter. This is a gorgeous powder that I adore and may have to splurge on the full size if this one runs out too quickly.  

Dandelion: Ultra Plush Lip Gloss
 Normally lip glosses aren't my favorite, but the texture of this is really different form many others  that I have tried. This is smooth, not sticky and looks amazing on.  

Benetint: Rose-Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain
I have wanted this SO badly and for SO long but I had wanted test how good it really was first. This really is a cool and different product for me so I really enjoyed playing around with it, but it came in such a tiny package which was really disappointing. 
Bad Gal Lash: MascaraThis mascara has a very large bristle wand which is good for defining lashes, but doesn't do a great deal of volumizing. This gives you a really natural look. This mascara, though is really great for layering with others, which is what I normally do anyway. 

Girl Meets Pearl: Liquid Pearl for Face
This liquid highlighter is pink toned with gold shimmers and when used correctly, can really brighten up your face. This is perfect for cheekbones, noses, or mixing a little bit with your foundation. 

the Porefessional: Pro Balm to Minimize the Appearance of Pores
Along with the Benetint this is a product I have been really wanting so I was SO excited to get it. This is such a creamy consistency but goes onto a powder finish once rubbed into the face. This really does fill in pores, so its perfect for a quick fix.

Dermalogica - Clear Start Toner All Over Toner - $19
I ran out of my other Dermalogica toner and I missed it too much. I needed to replenish. This doesn't seem to be making a huge difference, but it does make my skin less dry after washing so that is a definite plus. I am really looking into getting the whole line because I am obsessed with it.

Paul Mitchell - Smoothing Super Skinny Serum - $5.75
This was a quick impulse buy at the register (those always get me). This is an oil serum for calming down frizzy hair and I need all the help I can get. This is for when your hair is dry and a little too fluffy at the ends. I haven't really gotten a chance to play around with this too much because more often than not, I style my hair when it's wet.

Maybelline - Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Tinted Lip Balm - 40 Pink Me Up & 50 Soothing Sorbet - $2.99

I decided to pop into Bed Bath really quickly today with the sole purpose of checking these out. When I saw them on display right toward the front of the store I grabbed them, browsed around for a minute and I was on my way.
I'm actually in love with these. They feel minty and tingly on your lips, but it's not overpowering. The color is pretty sheer, but its still there which is perfect for constant reapplication. These are also perfect for super chapped lips thought out the cold fall and winter times.

Bath Time!

Although I don't have much time to relax, I decided to unwind today with a calming bubble bath. Here's a few of my bath time essentials. 

First, to set the ambiance and create a sweet aroma.

Cotton Candy Soy Candle

This cotton candy soy candle that I found at  Target for around $10. This has a really light, but sweet fragrance that sends a hint of sugar into your nose. 

Next, to make the bubbles.

Philosophy Orange Pineapple Smoothie

This sweet and tangy citrus smelling shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath, is perfect for the bath. It cleanses your body and creates a frothy layer of bubbles on the surface of the water.

This is actually discontinued but there are so many other Philosophy washes to choose from.
Sephora

To wash my face... 
I first mix the two cleansers on the Clarisonic and scrub them on my face for a full cycle. I leave this on for about three minutes and then rinse it off. 
I then rub the masque on my face and leave it on for the remainder of the bath.

Clarisonic PLUS
$225 - Clarisonic
This deep cleansing scrub brush cleans deep inside of your pores and gets ALL the dirt an oil out. This is also feels so relaxing on your skin. 

Dermalogica Clean Start Wash Off
This facial wash is very potent and works especially well for younger skin. This takes away so much oil from your face you can feel the difference after just one wash.

Dermalogica recently revamped the line and is now called "Clear Start" the equivalent to the product is the "Foaming Wash".
$19 - Dermalogica

Dermalogica Medibac Clearing Skin Wash
$35 - Dermalogica
This wash is better for more mature skin than the previous. It contains two types of acids to clear breakouts and kill bacteria that may be lingering on the skin. This helps to stop breakouts before they start.

Dermalogica Medibac Sebum Clearing Masque
$45 - Dermalogica
This clay mask detoxifies skin and has the most amazing cooling affect. My skin feels fresh, clean, and cool while wearing this. 

To treat the hair...

Once my hair is shampooed, I run this through my hair, excluding the roots, and put my hair up into a top knot. I leave this until the very end of my bath and then rinse it out. 

Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Hydrating Keratin Masque
$7.99 - Ulta
This masque hydrates and replenishes damaged hair and smells like coconuts. This also helps to reduce frizz, makes hair sleeker, and less puffy. 

To get out and dry off...

After relaxing with a good book, I got out of the bath to prevent turning into a human prune. I quickly dried off with a towel then put on this cute yellow bathrobe.  

Juicy Couture Velour Robe
Juicy Couture
I got this robe on super sale at the Juicy Couture outlet I think i paid somewhere between $30 and $40 for it which is a great price. This robe is soft and I know it will last me a long time.
