Wednesday LOVES...

I ran into Walgreens looking for the Elf Ariel makeup line.  I did not find the complete set but this is one of the items you can purchase.

I picked up a new mascara and yes, a lot of the reason was because of the cute packaging!  I love the little panda on the packaging!  I also picked up another Elephant lip gloss in cherry for $1 and this little LA Colors set for 50 cents.

On my want list for a palette this month is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar.  I would love to own it and need to start saving for it.  It is $49 but I think I can get it on HSN for $29.

On my wish list for lipsticks this month are the Too Faced Melted lipsticks.  How cute are these?  i want them in every color! OF COURSE!

Memebox is not a subscription box service but they do sell boxes with themes from Korea with products from their cosmetics lines.  I ordered my first one today - a Naked box which means that it showed me everything that was in it before I purchased.  I cannot wait to try the bling Cream, face mask, eyeliners, and lip gloss.

Sun Safety Kit from Sephora!

FUN IN THE SUN

I mentioned the other day that I had purchased the Sephora Sun Safety Kit for $27.  This kit had three different variations with prices at the $27, $32, and $45 dollar levels.  I am happy with this version although I would have like to get the Sugar Lips that the $32 variation had.  I received 11 items for $27.

Tarte™ Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner - I will be passing this tanner onto my sister as I am much to light skinned for it.  

 Ole Henriksen Protect the Truth SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum UV Protection - I love this size sunscreen for popping in my purse or my kids backpack for field trips and field days.  SO this is perfect for me.

 Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense® Lotion - I love moisturizers and will use all of this lotion.

 Supergoop! Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - I have never heard of this brand and am very excited to try this out.  As a red headed, light skinned, blue eyed person, I can always use sunscreen.

Murad® Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 PA++ -  This is another sunscreen -  love the little size for everyday use.

Too Faced® Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer - Again, as a light skinned person, I could never pull off this bronzer - a gift for a girlfriend who tans. 

bareMinerals READY Touch Up Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Translucent  - I love that this powder has sunscreen in it!  And it is in a shade I can use!

 Algenist Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 - Again, this is perfect for me as it has sunscreen and is a moisturizer.

 Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ For Face - Love that this is a sunscreen specifically for the face.  I can pop this in my purse as well.

Stila Stay All Day® 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm Broad-Spectrum SPF 30- This is also to dark for my fair complexion and I have gotten it before in a set of Stila balms.  I will be passing it along to my sister.

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse - I will give this a try but I am guessing it will be too much for my pale skin and be passed along. 

So out of the 11 items, I will only be passing along 4 of them.  That is really not bad for the price.  

Shopping Saturday!

MY DAY OUT!

I had gotten an e-mail yesterday about the giveaway at Sephora so I knew I needed to do a shopping trip! The deal was free Benefit bag with any purchase and they would have the Pore Professional to be used if you had 100 Beauty Insider points.  Thankfully, they had two left because I had been saving my points for awhile to get something I really needed.

For my purchase, I bought the Sun Safety Kit for $27 with 11 products, the Glamglow youth mud exfoliant treatment, Sephora pore cleaner, and the Two Faced Sexy Lips & Lashes.  

This Sun Safety kit is sold out online so I was very pleased to find it in the store.
Here is one side of the Sun Safety Kit with Too Faced Bronzing Powder, Tarte self tanner, Murad Day Moisturizer, Stila bronzing balm, Peter Thomas Roth Defense Lotion.

The other side:  St Tropez Bronzing Mousse, Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, Supergoop sunscreen oil, Algenist moisturizer, Ole Henriksen Sunscreen, and Shiseida sun protection cream. 

I ran over to Target and did some shopping for my Filofax - stickers, markers, Washi Tape and a pen. Infixinity markers were recommended by another Blogger and I cannot wait to use them in my Filofax.  I love Hello Kitty stickers and these owls are the cutest ever.

Bath and Body Works had $3 sale on their Hawaii soaps and these are my favorite for the summer.  Smell so Good!  I got Island White Pineapple, Honolulu Sun and Aloha Orchid.  I also picked up a little gift for my photographer who did our family photos last weekend.  

Ulta always has great bargains and gifts with purchase and I have been eyeing this Benefit mini package for awhile - Only Online Beauty Score -  it includes Pore Professional, That Gal, Hoola, Bella Bomba, It's Potent, They're Real mascara, Ooh La Lift, Stay Don't stray, Benetint, and High Beam  - 10 mini's all for $36.  I have only tried the Pore Professional, That Gal, Benetint, and High Beam; so very excited to try the other 6 products.

 And with any $35 Benefit purchase is this cute Benefit coin purse - which is actually a very nice size - super excited to use this in my purse!

And of course a trip to town would not be complete without a cake pop and a Starbucks Frappachino!
