YSL Mini Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick Trio Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In December, I found two luxury brand lipstick gift sets I really liked at Sephora. After some thought, I decided to purchase them. The first set was a Givenchy mini lipstick set. The second is a YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) lipstick set. I already talked about the Givenchy lipstick set in a separate post. It can be read here.

For this post, I wanted to talk about the YSL lipstick set I purchased. It came with a full sized version of one of their lipsticks, two mini sized versions of a different lipstick, and a makeup pouch. Even thought the set is no longer available, I wanted to write a review about the set in order to give anyone looking to purchase a different YSL Beauty lipstick set an idea of how a set looks like.

Givenchy Mini Le Rogue Lipstick Set Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I purchased holiday themed lipstick gift sets from two luxury design houses. I was curious to see if I would like their products more than my normal lipsticks. The sets did cost more more money that I normally spend, but for me, it was worth it to buy the set instead of individual lipsticks at full price.

One of these gift sets is from Givenchy. The gift set included four lipsticks in two types of formulas in three different colors. Even though the set is no longer available to purchase, I wanted to talk about it in a post. Continue reading “Givenchy Mini Le Rogue Lipstick Set Review” →

Sephora Haul- December 2022

Published on 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!

Sephora Haul- November 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While searching my photographs for something, I found photographs of two Sephora Hauls from 2022 I never wrote a post about! Even though I wanted to write and post them in 2022, I didn’t have the time to do it. Since finding them, I decided to post the photographs and talk about the items I purchased this month.

In November 2022, I decided to buy some items I wanted and needed during Sephora’s seasonal sale. Since starting this blog, the name of the seasonal sales have changed. I usually call the sales the VIB sale, but I remember this sale was called something else. I don’t remember what it was though. Still, the sale was pretty good and all the items I wanted were in stock. Continue reading “Sephora Haul- November 2022” →

Ulta Beaty 21 Days of Beauty Fall 2022 Favorites- Week 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when Ulta Beauty holds it 21 Days of Beauty sale! This fall, I found quite a few items I really liked and want to purchase, but, as I write this, am having vehicle problems. Since I cannot go in store and shop the sale (My favorite way to shop the 21 Days of Beauty sale) I will be focused on shopping online only. Despite this setback, I hope everyone will be able to shop the sale the way they enjoy the most!

As with other 21 Days of Beauty sales, I will be writing a post, one a week, about all the products that caught my eye. Since I will probably be limited in shopping (I need to think about the cost of fixing my vehicle!) I wanted to share not only all the products I love, but also products I think shoppers will like to purchase and brands that may be of interest. This week, there will be three days with surprise beauty steals. One of the days (Monday, August 29) is open for Diamond and Platinum rewards level members only and includes three deals from three different brands. The other two happen on Friday and Saturday and are open to anyone on any rewards level member. Continue reading “Ulta Beaty 21 Days of Beauty Fall 2022 Favorites- Week 1” →

Favorite Dior Beauty Atelier of Dreams Gift Sets for Holiday 2021

Published on 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.

MAC Cosmetics Frosted Firework 2020 Holiday Collection Haul- Lipsticks

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

A few weeks ago, while trying to figure out what I wanted to talk about in January 2021, I realized I didn’t post a haul post of the MAC Cosmetics I gave myself for Christmas. I planned to post a haul post for Blogmas, but my life became too busy to write the post in time. So, I’m starting the new year off by showing off my new make up.

I’m very excited to own MAC make up again. I used to own lipsticks from MAC and loved them, but after they ran out I didn’t replace them. For Christmas 2020, I decided to treat myself to some MAC make up from the holiday collection. After a year of avoiding buying new make up and wearing the make up in my collection, buying new make up was exciting for me. The 2020 holiday collection was very pretty (The theme was called Frosted Fireworks and was inspired by fireworks) and I found many items I wanted to own from the collection, but I limited myself to buying the lipstick and eye shadows I know I can and want to use no matter the season.

Since I bought so much make up (Well, it looks like a lot to me), I decided to split the make up haul into two different posts. This post is the lipsticks while the second post will be about the eye shadows. Continue reading “MAC Cosmetics Frosted Firework 2020 Holiday Collection Haul- Lipsticks” →

Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

When I was a teenager, Clinique was one of the most popular make up and skin care brands in a higher, above drug store price point. I used Clinique when I was in my late teens and liked some of the products and didn’t like others. After years of not using Clinique’s make up or skin care, I decided to try some of the products I liked or wanted to try but never got around to it.

The first product I tried is Clinique’s Dramatically Different Lipstick in the color 44, Raspberry Glace. Continue reading “Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick Review” →

Nicole Miller New York Lipstick Holiday Collection Unboxing

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After going through all my old make up, I found some make up from Christmas I never talked about online. And this is when I realized: I’m so behind in posting about the make up I bought for and after Christmas it’s not even funny. So, to try to remedy this I decided to talk about and review my old make up.

One of the make up I need to try is the lipsticks in my Nicole Miller New York Lipstick Collection. I purchased the set from Marshall’s as a Christmas gift to myself. Before I started to try each color, I took photographs of the box and the lipsticks while they’re new and unused.

Beauty Favorites for July 2019

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The past few months was crazy. Aside from taking care of a family member that had surgery, I had my own health problems as well as a busy work life. Since I was so busy, I decided not to do a beauty favorites post. This past month, I had the time to try new beauty products, so I feel ready to make a beauty favorites post for July 2019.
