What I Got Myself for Mother’s Day (2014 Edition)

I make it a point to get myself something nice for Mother’s Day. This time around I found some really affordable gifts. 🙂

Image

Image

I’ve had my eyes on this nail polish set for quite some time. I originally received the Pardon My French mini nail polish from Color Club in the June 2013 Birchbox. This color was from the Wanderlust collection. I would periodically check the Birchbox website to see if this four piece mini set was still available.

Image

Image

Birchbox offered another collection I liked as well. I received the Heirloom Pearls mini nail polish from Color Club in the April 2014 Birchbox. This color was from the Gala’s Gems collection.

Image

Image(L-R) Heirloom Pearls, Aquamarine Azulino, Gold Struck, Breakfast At…

These palettes from BH Cosmetics have been out for quite some time now. I was on the fence on whether or not I was going to purchase them. I kept seeing them on sale. I decided to buy the San Francisco and Malibu palettes during their Mother’s Day sale. I also purchased the liquid eyeliner.

I first found out about Nature’s Shea Butter when this company was on HauteLook. I ordered the Taste of Shea Mini Sampler. Nature’s Shea Butter had a Mother’s Day Sale on their website. This time around I ordered my favorites from the mini sampler pack. I also received samples of their soap.

Here is another reason why I love HauteLook. I can always count on HauteLook to have fantastic beauty deals. The Pucker Up Lip Beauty Bag was too good to pass up. When I originally purchased this lip beauty bag it was being offered for $24.00. I checked HauteLook today and the beauty bag is being offered for $20.00.

Clinique Purchase from Macy’s

Image

You know it must be Spring when Clinique has their gift with purchase at Macy’s. This time I purchased a 16.5 fl oz bottle of the Clarifying Lotion for combination oily skin. I ordered the big bottle because my daughters use the clarifying lotion as well. Hopefully this bottle will last through the rest of Spring in my house.

Image

By the way, I love everything about the Gift with Purchase.

Natural Products Purchase from Coastal Scents

Coastal Scents had an Earth Day sale. This sale lasted for a week. All of their natural products were 35% off. This included their soaps, butter, oils, and essential oils.

Image

Since I’ve already been using the shea oil on my hair, it seemed logical to order another bottle.

Image

I also ordered more of the shea butter. My daughters have also been using shea butter. Winter was very hard on my oldest daughter’s skin. Regular lotion wasn’t working. I gave her some shea butter to try. She no longer has dry patches on her skin. My youngest daughter had burned her hand a little using a curling iron. I told her to try some shea butter since this was a minor burn. The shea butter worked on that as well.

Image

Image

Image

I ordered the cocoa butter because it was on sale too.

Image

I was also given a sample of the black soap. I’ve read great reviews about this soap and can’t wait to try it.

I also received this eyeshadow sample again. I really like these colors. It didn’t bother me to get it again.

Lorac and Crown Brush Purchase from HauteLook

Image

To start things off, I was intrigued when I saw the Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder makeup. What really got my attention was the price ($3.00 each). Maybe I should’ve purchase three instead of only two of the Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder makeup. LOL!

Image

Image

ImageThis shade is WD5 (dark)

Image

Image

I am very pleased with the coverage of the Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder. I applied the makeup with a damp bronzer brush.

Image

It’s no secret I have a weakness whenever Crown Brush is being offered on HauteLook. I couldn’t pass up this cute little set. 🙂
