A Haul With One Picture | 6/5/23

Hello and welcome back!

While I haven't been very active here, I have started to post to Instagram. So far, it's just been pictures of random beauty products but I hope to start posting makeup looks and tutorials soon.

I also plan on posting some skincare content as well. I've always been bad about staying consistent with my skincare routine, but my makeup looks infinitely better when my skin is properly looked after. So I'm hoping my content creation efforts will help to motivate me to build and stick to a proper skincare routine.

 

I went to Ulta knowing that I definitely needed to repurchase the Clinique For Men Exfoliating Tonic. I've used this for years now. It's a salicylic acid toner so it's really good for breakouts and oily skin.

Then I wondered around a bit and found the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum. My skin has been particularly dehydrated lately so I've been wanting to get a hyaluronic acid serum to add to my routine.

Then I remembered that I wanted to check on the The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Moisturizer. I saw it on the back of this month's Ulta catalog, which noted that it's good for combination skin. Since I have combination skin I figured I'd give it a try.

Lastly, I grabbed the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter in the shade "1 fair". I haven't tried this yet, but I've seen a lot of people talk about it. It's a multi use product. It can be a primer or a highlighter or can be mixed with a foundation to make said foundation more dewy.

For years I've had a preference for Matte or natural finish foundation, but between following Katie Jane Hughes and Danessa Myricks on Instagram and my skin being a little dryer lately, I'm starting to seek out more dewy options.

That's all I have for now. Be sure to check out my Instagram where I have been noticed by CoverGirl, CoverGirl Switzerland, Neutrogena, Lano Lips, Dionis Skincare, and Fresh Beauty! I'm quite excited by this so I had to take this opportunity to brag a bit. 😊

What product/products have you bought recently? Any products you have your eye on? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading! Love, Grace.

A Haul Without Pictures 5/23/23

 I went to Walmart today and spent a little to much time wandering around the beauty section. Which resulted in me spending a little to much money. But now I have something to write a blog post about. 🤷‍♀️ I considered buying the Profusion Cosmetics  Moonstone Eyeshadow Palette . But it was quite big and I do have some other eyeshadow palettes that I need to make better use of, so I skipped it this time. I do think that I will go back for it when I start posting content regularly. I've never used anything from Profusion before but the palette looked rather nice. It included an array of neutral browns, some grays, a couple of blacks, some chunky glitters that, sadly, are most likely not eye safe. If you, reader, have used any Profusion products, do let me know in the comments. (I have no idea what this writing style is. "Do let me know in the comments." I don't know who I think I am. I'm in a weird mood.) Anyway! Moving on to the products I actually purchased. I...

Blemish Solutions

   It's been a year since I last posted here. 😬 Writing motivation has alluded me until just now as I was finishing up a new Instagram post . I decided to post about the products that are currently helping me to battle a period induced hormonal blemish, and I felt like expanding on the subject a little more...   Most of the time if I get any pimples or brake outs, they're small and mostly, or even completely, painless. But for the past several months I've been getting one big, PAINFUL hormonal spot around the time of my period that takes AGES to go away! While the products pictured above do not make it magically go away overnight, they do help reduce its appearance, and (most importantly) eliminate the pain!   Of these products, the one I've used the longest is the Clinique For Men Exfoliating Tonic. I originally bought it to test out as a possible solution for my younger brother when he was having some bad breakouts in his teens. It worked really well for him, an...
