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.

LoveShackFancy Endless Dream Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In 2024, LoveShackFancy released the fourth fragrance in their fragrance collection. The fragrance is called Endless Dreams. This new fragrance peaked my interest because it has scent notes I usually like. Even though it has scent notes I like, based off previous experience trying LoveShackFancy’s other perfumes, I didn’t think I would like it. In order to give me a chance to try Endless Dreams without spending a lot of money purchasing a bottle, I decided to buy the travel size of it.

The Creme Shop x Pusheen Candy Glaze Lip Oil Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

For the past few months, I’ve been diligently working my way through my stash of beauty products. So far everything is going well, but there are some products that I have enjoyed more than others. One of these products is The Creme Shop x Pusheen Candy Glaze Lip Oil.

As I type this, I’m nearing the end of my tube of oil. Since I have used it so much, I believe this would be a great time to write a review post about 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.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

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.

Some of the Fragrances in My Collection Feature (And a Few Opinions About Them)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few years ago, after some serious health problems, I began to declutter my things. Years later, I am still slowly making my way through my things, declutting them and deciding what I ultimately want to do with them. One of the sections of my things I’m the most overwhelmed to declutter is my fragrance collection.

To me, fragrances are hard to get rid of. If I don’t like the scent, then I don’t mind getting rid of it. Yet, there are some that I like the scent of, but don’t like wearing it. Over the years, I amassed a large collection of fragrances I still don’t want to get rid of.

Even though the day is coming for me to get rid of some of the fragrances, I still want to keep them. Since I am still currently committed to keeping my fragrance collection as is, I decided to write a post featuring some of the fragrances I own and some opinions about them. All the fragrances on this post are not ones I mentioned on this blog before and were collected over the years. All the fragrances are celebrity fragrances or are inspired by a TV show, which is one of the reasons why I don’t want to get rid of them. Although there are specific fragrances in this post have scents that I like a lot, there are some I don’t. I’ll go into this a little more later in this post.

LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Discovery Set (Old Version) Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I purchased the LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Discovery Set from Sephora. (There is also a LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Travel Spray Set, but I won’t be talking about it in this post.) I don’t own clothes from LoveShackFancy (Partly because they’re a premium brand and the price reflects it. Partly because none of the clothes come in a size that fit me.) so I’ve been looking at other products they sell, including from collaborations with other brands such as Pottery Barn.

One of the other products I was the most interested in trying last year was their perfume line. Even though I loved the way their perfume bottles looked, they were well over $120 USD per bottle! Since it was an investment, I debated how to proceed in purchasing the fragrance to try. That’s why I was so happy to find a sample set called Perfume Library!

At the time, the Perfume Library was on sale. This didn’t make much sense to me because of it’s popularity until I realized there is would be a new fourth fragrance coming out. Since the Perfume Library contained samples of the original three fragrances, it would be discontinued. Today, LoveShackFancy’s Perfume Library is now available, but with all four fragrances. Even though I own the old version of the Perfume Library, I decided to write a review about it and compare it to the new version of Perfume Library.
