October 2023 Collective Book Haul Part 3

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Well, this is the last post in the October 2023 haul posts! I planned on publishing this post prior to Thanksgiving, but those plans changed. Instead, I’m publishing it before December starts!

The books in this haul are either fall themed or are what I think of as potentially fall themed. They include four fall themed romance novels and one novelization of a medieval fantasy movie. Out of all the books I purchased in October, the books in this haul are some of my favorites. When I purchased these books, I felt worried and hesitant about purchasing them. Now that I owned them for over a month, I am very happy to own them. They are now some of my favorite fall themed books I own.

Hard Candy x Wednesday Collection at Walmart- In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

While on a shopping trip to Walmart earlier this fall, I found the Hard Candy collaboration with the TV series Wednesday for sale. I have many friends that are Tim Burton fans. Because of them, I knew about Wednesday, which is a TV series about Wednesday Addams, from the Addams Family. In the series, she learns to master her psychic abilities at the Nevermore Academy. Four out of the eight episodes from the first season were directed by Tim Burton, who is also an executive producer for the series.

For Halloween 2023, Hard Candy released a makeup collaboration collection inspired by Wednesday. Some of the products I saw in Walmart could be purchased at Walmart only. Others are still available and can be purchased off Hard Candy’s official website.

ProFusion Cosmetics x Casper The Friendly Ghost Collection at Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I was really surprised by the amount of Halloween makeup collaborations collections available at the Walmart I normally shop at this year. I didn’t know this at the time, but this was a sign that the Walmart would have different makeup brands available for sale there in the future. This is why I saw makeup brands I never saw for sale before or collections I never thought would be for sale there. One of these makeup brands was ProFusion Cosmetics.

Prior to this, the only way to find ProFusion Cosmetics is either at Ulta Beauty, which was a longer drive away from Walmart, or to order them online. (Unless you drive even further away. Then you can find them at other stores as well as other Ulta Beauty stores.) Seeing ProFusion Cosmetics at my Walmart was a surprise. Especially the Casper The Friendly Ghost collaboration collection!

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A month or so before October, I discovered my local Walmart had the Batman x Makeup Revolution collection. for sale. The collection is formally called Revolution x DC Universe by Makeup Revolution. The collection I saw at Walmart was inspired by Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.

Even though the collection has been out for a while, I didn’t publish a post about the collection or the photographs I took of the collection. I wanted to publish this post in October, but things didn’t work out right. Instead, I decided to do it now before Thanksgiving is in full swing.

October 2023 Collective Book Haul Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In October 2023, I purchased many books that are either fall themed or would be great for reading near Halloween. Since is was getting near Halloween, I really wanted to find some books that were spooky enough for my tastes.

After sorting through the books I purchased for collective haul posts, I decided to group four of the books into one post. All the books have either a plot that I personally would associate with Halloween or, in the case of on of the books, has a cover that is dark and fits in with the rest of the books in this part of my haul posts.

October 2023 Collective Book Haul Part 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In my September collective book haul, I mentioned I decided not to buy many books at that time. In October, I went on a shopping spree for books! In fact, I was worried about the mount of books I purchased. Even though I purchased a lot of books, all the books are ones I considered purchasing for months if not over a year.

Since I purchased so many books in October, I decided to split the collective haul into three posts. This post has the most books in any of the posts. It also includes some books that I wanted that are fall or magic themed. I purchased them with the intention of reading them in October. As of this post, I

September 2023 Collective Book Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Since the Spring of 2023, I went on months book shopping sprees. In September, I decided to cut back on my book shopping. I was willing to go book shopping, but I didn’t like many of the books that were released that month. So, I decided to wait to purchase more books another month. Even though I didn’t like the books released in September, I did do some book shopping. I ended up purchasing four books during the month. Despite the small size of the book haul compared to previous months, I am still happy with the books I purchased that month.

Collective Book Haul- August 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In August, with the seasons changing, I decided it was time to go book shopping again. Even though I had the best intentions to keep my book buying to a minimum, I still found many books to buy. This time, I purchased more than I thought I would. Way more.

By the end of the month, I had purchased ten new books! Most of the books had been ones I’ve been looking at for years, but never purchased. Others were newly published yet I seriously believed I would enjoy. Out of all the book hauls I wrote posts about, I am the most happiest with this one! All the books are ones I’m looking forward to reading, some of them again! I am happy to own all these books!

Lottie London x Vampire Diaries Collection at Walmart- In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Halloween is two weeks away! I’m both excited and nervous. I’m excited to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, but at the same time I’m not ready for it! I don’t have a costume ready or any plans. Still, I think I’ll be spending my Halloween night eating snacks and watching movies.

One of my favorite things about Halloween I have begun to look forward to is the seasonally themed makeup. I started to pay attention to the makeup released around Halloween time a few years ago. Since then, it has become one of my favorite things about Halloween. This year, I found multiple new, limited edition collections released in time for Halloween. All the collections I saw in person were available at Walmart. I took photographs of many of them to write posts about them.

One of my favorite, and Halloween appropriate, collections was the Lottie London x The Vampire Diaries collection. I found the collection available on the end cap at Walmart.

Collective Book Haul- July 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It has been a few weeks since I wrote a book haul post. Sadly, I was very busy these past few weeks, so I couldn’t write anything for a while! Now, I’m back with a new book haul post!

This haul is a July 2023 collective haul, which means all the books I purchased are from different places and from different times I shopped. In July, I decided to shop for summertime, beach read themed books. Specifically, the kind of books that are popular on TikTok. I found many of them on sale for less than I expected them to cost. I didn’t get to read them all before the end of summer, but I am happy that I own them and don’t need to search for them anymore.
