Good morning everyone! Only 2 more days till it’s Friday 😉
As the title indicates, I picked up a few new beauty items in July. I’m a bit on beauty-overload right now, which shouldn’t be a bad thing. But if I’m being completely honest, I bought way more than what is pictured below (if you believe “more” is possible), I just took back a lot of things out of guilt. Rightfully so! What’s the point in not buying any new clothes for a year if you’re just going to transfer that spending habit to something equally dangerous?!
I have so many options right now, I have a whole “giveaway” bag I’ve been collecting new, unused items in. I think I’m hitting the pause button on beauty purchases for a while, if this blog doesn’t change it’s title to “No New Beauty Items for a Year” altogether come September (kidding!…maybe).

I am obsessed w/ these Sephora sampler packs. They are such an amazing value, as the “sample” sizes they offered are all deluxe-sized. What can I say? I’m a sample hoarder!
What beauty items are on your hit list this summer?!

I’m going to try that EOS travel hand lotion! It looks like a really good size/shape for my little makeup bag.
It’s interesting to say the least! I really like the scent when it goes on, because it’s not too heavy. But there’s a strange after-scent once it’s dried. I can’t quite describe it. But for less than $2, you should definitely try it out and let me know what you think! I like the original the best 🙂
I can totally relate to your post! They seem like ultra nessecary products though, hihi.
Oh, I know! Glad to know I’m not alone 🙂
I go through binges as well (I LOVE sephora!). I feel guilty, but then I don’t buy anything again for AGES so I’m sure it all works out OK (and usually you save on shipping!). 😀 I’m really interested in your hair products, they look like ones I need!

Oh I’m a total binger when it comes to buying beauty products. These were the first items I bought in a while so I didn’t feel bad at first…but then I kept buying more. And more. And more. But I took some of it back 🙂 So far, I’m SUPER impressed with the NEVO leave-in conditioner. It makes my hair so soft and it smells great! It spruces up my hair for the day if I didn’t have time to shower in the morning as well 🙂
The Summer Crushes collection looks amazing! I’m a little jealous. Everything looks so fun!!
You should get it! It’s on sale for $40 (from $45, ha!) They’re sets are always worth it, in my opinion!
Darn it, I should have. I just placed a Sephora order… Maybe I’ll have to place another ;0)
