Sephora Haul- December 2022

Published on January 20, 2023January 9, 2023 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In December 2022, Sephora had a pre holiday sale. I wanted to do some more shopping for myself, so I purchased more items I wanted but didn’t need. I am very happy with my purchases and am very excited to start using them!

Some of the items I purchased in this haul are holiday gift sets or limited edition, so I don’t know if they are still available. If they are, and you want one for yourself, I highly recommend them! I don’t always like it when hauls have limited edition products that I can no longer purchase at the time the video or post is seen for the first time. So, if it bothers you too, I’m sorry about the post delay! I still hope you enjoy reading this post!

Favorite Dior Beauty Atelier of Dreams Gift Sets for Holiday 2021

Published on December 11, 2021November 22, 2021 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After waiting for weeks for Dior to release their beauty gift sets, Dior has finally released them for purchase. I wanted to buy one as a self gift, but after looking at my beauty product collection, I’m confident that I won’t need anything until mid 2022. Despite this, I enjoyed looking at Dior’s gift sets on their official website.

Even though I have no plans to buy myself anything until 2022, I wanted to share my favorite gift sets from Dior’s official website. Since this is just for fun, I included some products that will be well out of many people’s price ranges (Including mine) but I liked the look of or the products anyway.

5 Makeup Prodcuts at Sephora I Would Like to Try- February 2021

Published on February 15, 2021February 9, 2021 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I needed to shop at Sephora for a product I ran out of. While looking at Sephora’s website, I found new makeup products I want to try. After finishing browsing Sephora’s website, I narrowed my makeup wish list down to five products I would love to buy and try. I’m unsure if I will ultimately buy and try everything on my list, but I hopeful I will try at least three before the end of the year.

Top 5 Favorite Dior Makeup and Beauty Products

Published on November 21, 2020November 11, 2020 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the time of the year to buy Christmas makeup gift sets and great excuse to buy makeup to try out. Buying myself makeup gift sets is how I discovered some of my favorite Dior Beauty products. Dior is, of course, not affordable for everyone and I need to be careful how many items I buy at one time so I won’t spend more money than I allow myself to. Despite this, I have some make up and beauty favorites that, if I need to replace it, I tend to look at those items first before I search for anything else from Dior.

Recently, while shopping recent makeup and beauty sales, I discovered some of my favorites on sale. Although I didn’t buy back up of them during the sales because I’m happy with the number of backups I have, I thought it may be fun to list my favorite makeup and beauty items from Dior. Although they are pricey, I am happy with the quality of the makeup and beauty items on my favorites list and I hope that, if anyone wants to try new make up, they could start with one of my favorites.

Dior’s Diorific Vernis Nail Polish- Lovely

Published on March 20, 2019February 28, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last week, I talked about Dior’s Diorific Vernis Nail Polish in the color Audace. When I placed my order to Macy’s for Dior beauty products, I also ordered a second polish in the same nail polish line but in the color Lovely.

In case you’re wondering, yes I did take the photo of the nail polish bottle outside. I did this because the lighting is better than in my normal photography set up. And yes, that is me and the yard in the bottle’s reflection.

Just like the color Audace, Lovely is a color not available in Dior’s normal nail polish lines. Instead, this color was part of Dior’s 2018 holiday collection. Between Audace and Lovely, Lovely is the color I wish was part of Dior’s nail polish lines instead of being limited edition. It is a very pretty metallic rose pink with silver flecks in it. I’m sure that there are many who would love to use this color as an everyday nail polish color instead of using it for a seasonal color only.

I really love the color but, like with Audace, Lovely requires two coats in order to make the color opaque enough to block out my normal nail color. Although it needs two coats, I found that, since my nails match the pink tone of the polish, it was ok if the polish did not completely block out my nail color.

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Macy’s Dior Beauty Haul- January 2019

Published on February 27, 2019February 18, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few months ago, I placed an order for Dior beauty items on Macy’s. Even though it was months ago when I placed this order, it wasn’t until this month I had the opportunity to write a post about it.

For the most part, I purchased limited edition items for the 2018 holiday season, but the colors are perfect for late winter and spring as well. Continue reading “Macy’s Dior Beauty Haul- January 2019” →

January 2019 Beauty Favorites

Published on January 31, 2019January 30, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s February which means it’s time for me to reflect on the the previous month and discuss my favorite items I discovered or continued to use through out January. I tried to write a monthly favorites post last year, but I was unable to keep it up. This year, I want to change that and try to write a new monthly favorites post each month.

This past January, I did not try as many new beauty products as I planned to, but I did discover a handful of products I really do love and want to share!

Dior Make Up Haul- September 2018

Published on October 24, 2018October 18, 2018 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In September, I discovered Macy’s had a beauty sale on Dior beauty. I wanted to try Dior makeup for quite some time, but never took the opportunity to purchase any. I almost purchased some Dior makeup during Sephora’s fall VIB sale, but the Sephora I was at did not have the makeup I wanted. When I saw Macy’s sale included Dior makeup, I decided to pick up the makeup I had my eye on for months.
