Bath and Body Works Fireworks Pop Shower Gel and Fine Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The 4th of July is next week. For me, this time of the year means I’m usually staying inside to escape the heat of summer! Even though I normally stay inside whenever possible, I still try to celebrate the holiday and summer in general no matter  if I’m inside or not.

One of the ways I tried to celebrate the 4th of July is by using certain beauty and self care products. I isn’t much, but it is something I notice and enjoy. One of my favorite beauty product to use for this reason is Bath and Body Works’ Fireworks Pop Shower Gel. I noticed I never publish a review post about the shower gel, so I decided to write a review post about one of my favorite beauty products for summer. I will also talk about the fine fragrance version of it.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Advanced Healing Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For many years, there were certain lip balms I would turn to in order to heal my chapped lips. Vaseline’s Lip Therapy Advanced Healing was one of them.

This year I am trying old lip balms and products to see if I like them anymore. This one was one of the lip products I wanted to try the most.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After a break from posting beauty reviews, I’m back with a new review! This time, I’m reviewing the last Maybelline New York Baby Lips balm I purchased.

This balm is 15 Cherry Me. It is a tinted and scented balm and is the only tinted and scented balm I purchased to try earlier this year.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips 05 Quenched Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I decided to get rid of all my old lip balms. They either no longer worked or were irritating my skin. That was when I decided to turn to an old lip balm line I used to love, Baby Lips by Maybelline.

I used to love this lip balm line, but I had to discontinue using it due to health problems that included allergies and skin problems. Although the lip balms didn’t cause the irritations I suffered from, I was advised to take no chances and to get rid of all my old favorite beauty products. Today, I am doing much better and can now use many of my old beauty products again.

When I decided to replace my old lip balms with Baby Lips balms, I decided to purchase three different balms from the line. I already wrote a blog post about the first balm I used, Dr Rescue, in a post here. After using Dr Rescue, my lips healed enough to start using other balms. The second balm I decided to use is 05 Quenched.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips Dr. Rescue 55 Coral Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I’ve been struggling with chapped lips for several months. Even though I have lip balms, my balms are old and don’t seem to work well anymore.

After giving up and throwing away my old lip balms, I began to search for new lip balms to use. I still can’t travel very far (Echos of the vehicle problems from a few months ago are still persisting) so I decided to see what my local Walmart had for sale.

That’s when I remembered an old type of lip balm I used to use called Baby Lips. The balms are by Maybelline and were priced well when I used to use them. Even though they work well, I decided to stop using them due to my health problems. Since my health problems are under control, I decided to buy some of the balms and try them again.

The first one I decided to try is Dr. Rescue in 55 Coral. Since my lips were having problems, I decided to give the medicated balm a try before I used any other other balms I purchased.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to purchase a few products I used to use. I discontinued using the products for a variety of reasons, but sometimes I wonder if I want to keep a smaller size of the product in my collection in case I want/need to use it. One of the products I decided to purchase and try again was Fresh’ s Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner.

I used to use it, but I stopped using it party because I wanted to reduce the amount of facial products I was using and partly because I wasn’t using it enough to justify owning it. During a shopping trip at Ulta Beauty, I found a travel sized version of the bottle. The Rose Facial Toner was one of the products I wanted to try, so I purchased up the travel sized bottle and began to use it.

It’s almost time for week 2 of Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty for Spring 2025! I hope everyone has the ability to purchase everything they want during week 1 of the sale!

for week 2, I have many favorites for the first three days of the sale. After that, I struggled to find products I like or want to mention in this post. Even though I struggled to find my own personal favorites this week, I know there are still popular products that I didn’t pick but are in the sale. Because of this, I highly recommend checking out Ulta Beauty’s website and look at their 21 Days of Beauty sale preview.

Some of the stand out favorites from week 2 are the fragrances (Including Lancome’s Idole and Clinqiue’s Happy), IT BRushesCosmetics for Ulta makeup brushes, and Estee Lauder’s Prue Color Revitalizing Crystal Lip Balm. There will also be a surprise fragrance deal on Friday.

It’s time when Ulta Beauty holds their 21 Days of Beauty sale! For this year’s spring sale, there was a preview day for Dimond and Platinum rewards level members. This preview day, which was held on Thursday, March 6, was when the middle and top members of Ulta Beauty’s rewards program could shop the sale a day early.

Every 21 Days of Beauty sale, I try to write a post about my favorite products in the upcoming week’s sale. Unfortunately, I was too busy to finish a favorite post about the sale for the preview day. Instead, I will be focusing on what rewards would be available for sale for all reward program levels. For week one, I found many popular beauty products and tools on sale. My favorites are the BayBylissPRO hair dryer, Dry Bar hair curling tools, and Bionic hair curler.

Native x Dunkin Body Care Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Over a month ago, I heard Native was releasing a collaboration with Dunkin’. I didn’t think I would see the collection in a store near me, but I was wrong.

Near late January, I found the collection for sale on an end cap at my closest Walmart. They had the whole collection for sale that day. Since then the collection had sold out, but I really enjoyed seeing the collection in person.
