✨✨ First Impressions ✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I recently received the Raw Glow in P.R from @dewyandbae . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been using every morning for 2 weeks after serums and before moisturiser. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have found it absorbs easily and it’s helped lock in the layers of hydration I love . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far so good , I’ll update more thoroughly once I’ve finished the bottle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ingredients - Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) seed oil, Squalane derived from Olea Europaea (Olive), Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) seed oil, Tocopherol d-alpha (Natural Vitamin E), Cl75810 (Chlorophyll) derived from Alfalfa, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) extract, Ubiquinone (CoEnzyme Q10), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) seed oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Neroli) flower oil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Sunday everyone ♥️🥰♥️.
✨ New In ✨ It was beyond my already limited ability to resist this . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From @netaporter This is the + NET SUSTAIN Beauty Kit which retails for $135 aud and contains 9 items worth around $900 aud in total . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The reason I went for it is I was interested in quite a few of the products already and thought it was a great way to experience some new to me brands especially considering they are full sizes at this price. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will list the items for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @senteursdorient Hammam Soap: 205g. @circumferencenyc Green Clay Detox Face Mask: 50ml. @aureliaskincare The Probiotic Concentrate: 10ml. @umaoils Absolute Anti-Aging Eye Oil: 15ml. @paiskincare Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil 30ml. @drbarbarasturm Anti-Pollution Drops: 30ml. @koraorganics Noni Glow Face Oil: 30ml. @tataharperskincare Resurfacing Serum: 30ml. @facehalo Makeup Remover Pad. @netaporter Canvas Drawstring Pouch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know if you have tried any of these or if you’re going to pick this up ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Thursday everyone ♥️😘. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Acids on hand ✨ I love exfoliating especially with acidic friends 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are what I currently have and a brief note on each. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @olehenriksen Phat Glow a PHA mask that is very gentle and I think most skin types would enjoy this . I enjoyed it but can live without. . . ... @goodmolecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment a gentle Glycolic acid serum that I also think would be suitable for most skins. Only used a few times and it’s nice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @drdennisgross Ferulic & Retinol Peel Pads , I’ve had these before and love them . I use weekly before using an acid serum . They are gentle and effective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @drdennisgross Resurfacing Liquid Peel , this is a strong 2 step peel that I use once a week and I love the results the following day . Glowing skin every time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that’s my current acid situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s yours ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a great week everyone ♥️😘😘
💗 Thinking 💗 I wanted to share this photo today as often on social media we compare ourselves to others . it always seems to be about why some have a larger following or receive p.r or receive more p.r than you. Questioning the success of others in no way contributes to your own, if anything it lessens your ability to focus on what is unique or special about yourself. I chose this photo as one rose is higher than the others , the shorter roses are just as beautiful and smell as fragrant , the joy they bring isn’t less due to the length of the stem. If being a successful influencer is your goal , then do the work find your voice and use it to propel yourself forward. Constantly trying to catch up with others is a race not worth running. For me I’m very happy to be a supporting flower or foliage in the skincare bouquet. . . Happy Weekend everyone ♥️😘♥️😘
💗 #1empty1newbie 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using the # started by @skinminimalist 🙌. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So my @sundayriley Good Genes is empty and I love it and will repurchase at some point, However I thought I’d take the opportunity to try the Overnight Exfoliating Treatment from @goodmolecules ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The latter is heavier on glycolic acid so this won’t be about comparing them . Just trying something new . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your favourite exfoliating treatments ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you’ve all been having a great week ♥️😘.
✨💗 New Things 💗✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Picked up a couple of things from @meccacosmetica and luckily my Beauty Loop box was there 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve wanted to try more by @susannekaufmann_ for awhile now, sadly they were out of a few items but luckily the Cleansing Milk was in stock . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Couldn’t resist the new @glowrecipe lip treatment so far I’m liking it , keeps my lips feeling soft . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Beauty Loop Box had these deluxe samples inside @sandandskyaus Pink Clay Mask. @drunkelephant F- Balm. @chantecaille Stress Repair Concentrate. @narsissist Eyeshadow Base .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . Excited to try all of these 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anything here you’ve tried or want to ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy weekend everyone ♥️😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨💗 Cannabella 💗✨ I was sent these treats in P.R and thought I’d share brief thoughts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Renewal Serum $74 aud for 30ml The star here is Unfiltered Hempseed yet it also has a lot of great ingredients around it including Camellia oil ,Broccoli seed , Watermelon Seed , ,Rosehip ,Jojoba , Baobab ,Apricot Kernel and Vitamin E . I found this to be extremely nourishing. Will purchase for winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hemp Jelly $62 aud for 60g ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a balm texture and melts into skin easily again a beautiful ingredients list the star being unfiltered hempseed again . I also found this to be nourishing without feeling heavy on the skin, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So 2 products I’ve really enjoyed, I will be doing a more thorough review on the blog on Monday. Thank you @cannabella_au ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for reading ♥️😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨✨Good Molecules✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thought I'd share some thoughts about these products I received in P.R from @goodmolecules ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll go left to right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Squalane Oil - $8 usd for 15ml. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know that so many love squalane oil and its in many products I use. However I've always been on the fence about it as a single product. This was nice just not something I felt rich enough for my dry skinned preferences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Discolouration Correcting Serum - $12 usd for 30ml ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I really enjoyed this and noticed an improvement in my pigmentation and overall skin brightness. It has tranexamic acid which I've seen in serums costing 5 times this also has our old friend niacinamide. A brilliant serum that I would highly recommend and will be purchasing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Super Peptide Serum - $12 for 30ml. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I never notice what these serums do for my skin whilst using , so I tend to not replace immediately to see if I can notice any changes. This has copper tripeptides as well as other fancy ones. I've not used for 2 months and have noticed a slight change in how hydrated & plump my skin appears.At this price I would happily purchase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ultra Hydrating Facial Oil - $10 for 15ml. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This has camellia & sea buckthorn oils and I really enjoyed this, it felt very hydrating and nourishing. I will definitely buy this as I think its a great oil to always have on hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far I'm a fan of this brand , the serums are a wonderful texture that play well with other products and the oils are a size that even the most occasional oil user would be able to finish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will share some more thoughts on this brand soon about products bought and received in P.R. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for reading ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know if you have any favourites or questions ♥️😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨♥️ Retinol Mix ♥️✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I do know that retinol should be applied directly to a cleansed face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also know that I've been enjoying mixing things in with this retinol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I first read about this on @ms_hannah_e Retinol series and thought I'd try , safe to say I like it with a strong retinol like @drunkelephant A-Passioni. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I use retinol about 4 times a week , and I'll either add the @goodmolecules Niacinamide or @deciem Modulating Glucosides so basically I add more skin loving/calming ingredients to the mix. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you dilute or buffer your retinols ? Hope you are all having a great week so far ♥️😘
✨ #bestofbeautychallenge ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 22 - Perfect Palette . @natashadenona has won my heart with her palettes and gotten me into shimmers. Star palette was my first thanks to @her_beauty_full_life and then I picked up Sunset , I emptied both palettes to make my perfect selection and placed them in the Star palette I gave the shades I didn't think would work to a friend. Most recently picked up the Sunrise palette and I'm loving it. Also I clearly make an absolute mess when doing my eyeshadow lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 23 - Magic Lashes. For me its @surratt all the way !!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 24 - Eyebrows on Fleek. Really love the newish @fentybeauty brow pencil it’s very fine and easy to use with a tiny toothbrush style spoolie. @surratt Brow Pomade is for getting them to sit where I want and for the final touches and definition I use @ctilburymakeup in 2 different shades. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 25 - Selfcare Saviour. All of the products I buy are physical cues to unwind and stop thinking so a vital part of making my day my own again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @raakhitanvimakeup @thesestolenflowers @zarrine_beautyjunkie @skinoverbeauty For hosting ♥️😘
💗#bestofbeautychallenge 💗 Day 18- Prime Time All about glowing for me and these @ctilburymakeup & @vdlus do that in spades !!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2nd Photo Day 19- Base Case Again I like formulas which make my skin look creamy and hydrated. My 3rd time repurchasing @westmanatelier Vital Foundation Stick. I’ve also enjoyed the @patmcgrathreal l Foundation and find the powder sits well around my eyes . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3rd Photo Day 20- Lipstick Love This is more about formula for me as I’m hopeless at reapplying so I’ve found @patmcgrathreal & @ctilburymakeup have nice staying power. Then I top up with @henneorganics tinted lip balms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last Photo Day 21- Lush Blush I really like the @hourglasscosmetics and @surratt the blush’s are just beautiful & shade range is great . As for the lipstick generally when I don’t like a colour on my lips I move it to my cheeks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @skinoverbeauty @zarrine_beautyjunkie @thesestolenflowers @raakhitanvimakeup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For hosting ♥️😘.
✨✨Augustinus Bader✨✨ The Body Cream $165 usd for 170ml. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comprehensive Review on the blog , Link in Bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY THOUGHTS - This is my favourite body cream ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took me about a week to notice increased hydration on my body where like my face I’m extremely dry naturally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I noticed a change in skin texture within a month i.e. cellulite and and /the start of sagging on my stomach and chest (boobs). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This has not erased my cellulite merely contributed to the area looking firmer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have noticed that the skin on my body has greatly improved by body brushing daily and using this of an evening . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ FACTS -  Surprise it’s expensive and again I personally don't believe that your life will be worse if you don't have it, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this does fall comfortably within your budget then it’s a beautiful luxurious treatment that does what it says. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Again it contains the patented TFC8 complex ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ REPURCHASE - I absolutely loved it so it’s a yes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for reading ♥️😘
✨ #bestofbeautychallenge ✨ I’m playing catch up again!!! Day 15 - Must Have Mask/s Massive fan of these 3 last year , they offer gentle brightening and skin clarity whilst leaving my skin soft . The Petal by @mahalo.care and from @Lea hlaniskincare Meli Glow & Mermaid Mask . Day 16 - Spot Zapper . Apart from avoiding mirrors , I use a clay mask on the spot and a bit of acid . Day 17 - Luscious Lip Balm . I don’t have any true loves so will be scouring your entries to find one 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @thesestolenflowers @raakhitanvimakeup @skinoverbeauty @zarrine_beautyjunkie For hosting ♥️😘
✨✨ Augustinus Bader✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comprehensive Review on the blog , Link in Bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY THOUGHTS -  Using as a moisturiser at the end of my night routines I found this lovely and moisturising and would wake with soft plump skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ However this truly shone when I took a 2 week holiday and used only this after cleansing morning and night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Within a week my dry skin felt and looked hydrated and plump and the glow was extremely real , I took it around my eyes as well which is the driest part of my face and I couldn't believe how hydrated they were. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By the end of the 2 weeks my skin looked fresh and dewy and felt amazing . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ FACTS - She is expensive !!! If you're only going to use this as a moisturiser after many previous steps I don't think its a must have unless your budget easily accommodates it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It has a top secret TFC8 complex which even if what it contained was public I wouldn't know how to explain but it’s fancy and patented technology. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ REPURCHASE - I will as I love it and enjoy the effects even as part of an extended routine but also on the nights I can’t be arsed and it was wonderful on holidays . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for reading ♥️😘
✨💗 Birthday Bliss 💗✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Couldn't resist treating myself to some luxe goodies for my 43rd bday yesterday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In fairness I can't resist most days lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After spending 24hrs living on gelato & waffles I will now return to being a slightly more sensible adult. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @slipsilkpillowcase Silk pillowcases are my favourite way to not wake up with face crinkles , need an entire sheet set as now I get body crinkles 😭. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The beautiful candle was a gift from the lovely women of @myflowerroom_melbourne where I also got these and all my beautiful flowers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Words of wisdom from a 43 year old ,, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Eat gelato !!!! 🤗💗🤗💗🤗

✨✨ First Impressions ✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I recently received the Raw Glow in P.R from @dewyandbae . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been using every morning for 2 weeks after serums and before moisturiser. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have found it absorbs easily and it’s helped lock in the layers of hydration I love . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far so good , I’ll update more thoroughly once I’ve finished the bottle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ingredients - Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) seed oil, Squalane derived from Olea Europaea (Olive), Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) seed oil, Tocopherol d-alpha (Natural Vitamin E), Cl75810 (Chlorophyll) derived from Alfalfa, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) extract, Ubiquinone (CoEnzyme Q10), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) seed oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Neroli) flower oil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Sunday everyone ♥️🥰♥️.
✨ New In ✨ It was beyond my already limited ability to resist this . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From @netaporter This is the + NET SUSTAIN Beauty Kit which retails for $135 aud and contains 9 items worth around $900 aud in total . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The reason I went for it is I was interested in quite a few of the products already and thought it was a great way to experience some new to me brands especially considering they are full sizes at this price. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will list the items for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @senteursdorient Hammam Soap: 205g. @circumferencenyc Green Clay Detox Face Mask: 50ml. @aureliaskincare The Probiotic Concentrate: 10ml. @umaoils Absolute Anti-Aging Eye Oil: 15ml. @paiskincare Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil 30ml. @drbarbarasturm Anti-Pollution Drops: 30ml. @koraorganics Noni Glow Face Oil: 30ml. @tataharperskincare Resurfacing Serum: 30ml. @facehalo Makeup Remover Pad. @netaporter Canvas Drawstring Pouch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know if you have tried any of these or if you’re going to pick this up ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Thursday everyone ♥️😘. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Acids on hand ✨ I love exfoliating especially with acidic friends 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are what I currently have and a brief note on each. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @olehenriksen Phat Glow a PHA mask that is very gentle and I think most skin types would enjoy this . I enjoyed it but can live without. . . ... @goodmolecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment a gentle Glycolic acid serum that I also think would be suitable for most skins. Only used a few times and it’s nice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @drdennisgross Ferulic & Retinol Peel Pads , I’ve had these before and love them . I use weekly before using an acid serum . They are gentle and effective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @drdennisgross Resurfacing Liquid Peel , this is a strong 2 step peel that I use once a week and I love the results the following day . Glowing skin every time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that’s my current acid situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s yours ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a great week everyone ♥️😘😘
💗 Thinking 💗 I wanted to share this photo today as often on social media we compare ourselves to others . it always seems to be about why some have a larger following or receive p.r or receive more p.r than you. Questioning the success of others in no way contributes to your own, if anything it lessens your ability to focus on what is unique or special about yourself. I chose this photo as one rose is higher than the others , the shorter roses are just as beautiful and smell as fragrant , the joy they bring isn’t less due to the length of the stem. If being a successful influencer is your goal , then do the work find your voice and use it to propel yourself forward. Constantly trying to catch up with others is a race not worth running. For me I’m very happy to be a supporting flower or foliage in the skincare bouquet. . . Happy Weekend everyone ♥️😘♥️😘
💗 #1empty1newbie 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using the # started by @skinminimalist 🙌. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So my @sundayriley Good Genes is empty and I love it and will repurchase at some point, However I thought I’d take the opportunity to try the Overnight Exfoliating Treatment from @goodmolecules ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The latter is heavier on glycolic acid so this won’t be about comparing them . Just trying something new . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your favourite exfoliating treatments ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you’ve all been having a great week ♥️😘.
✨💗 New Things 💗✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Picked up a couple of things from @meccacosmetica and luckily my Beauty Loop box was there 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve wanted to try more by @susannekaufmann_ for awhile now, sadly they were out of a few items but luckily the Cleansing Milk was in stock . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Couldn’t resist the new @glowrecipe lip treatment so far I’m liking it , keeps my lips feeling soft . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Beauty Loop Box had these deluxe samples inside @sandandskyaus Pink Clay Mask. @drunkelephant F- Balm. @chantecaille Stress Repair Concentrate. @narsissist Eyeshadow Base .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . Excited to try all of these 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anything here you’ve tried or want to ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy weekend everyone ♥️😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
