Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well. As you all probably already know, Sephora is having their Annual Sale and I just wanted to come on and share with you what I got. This is the first time that I purchased so much at once. Some of the things I got were new things I've been meaning to try and some are products that I absolutely love and took advantage of the sale to repurchase them.

F.A.B (First Aid Beauty)- $64 ($148 value)

I have purchased this product year after year. I absolutely love this brand and love when they come up with this bundle during the winter months. This bundle is also perfect if you want to try their other products at a great price. Would definitely recommend.

Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation- $25

I first heard about this foundation from a Youtuber and I said to myself, this girl raves about it, it must me good. She was not kidding. This foundation is amazing. It's light-weight and you can built up your coverage. The best part is that there's 49 shades to choose from. I love when a brand takes in consideration the many types of skin colours there are. 

Valentino Voce Viva- $49

On one of my previous Sephora orders I was able to get this as a sample, and WOW. I was so in love with how beautiful this scent was that when I wanted to purchase the full size it was sold out. I loved it so much that I ended up purchasing the mini set. Isn't it cute?! If your into sweet fragrances, than this perfume is definitely one you should check out.

Key Notes: Italian Bergamot, Orange Blossom Absolute, Crystal Moss Accord

Sephora Holiday Collection

Sephora (The Essential Kit)- $27

Sephora (Holiday Vibes)-$14

I recently purchased this for my teenage niece who is starting to be grab some interest in skin care. I thought this would be a great way for her to start. It comes with make-up wipes, masks, facial wash and a lip scrub.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Lip Lacquer Lipgloss- $19

I love a pretty pink gloss, and this one is truly beautiful. It's very natural and great for your everyday look. I ended up buying 2 of these, one for me and the other for my niece. 

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer- $39

I've always used liquid concealers so this was my first time trying out this type of concealer. I must say it's different but I like it. I would suggest applying it with your finger tips rather than a brush. It also comes in 29 other shades.

Voluspa Glass Jar Candle (Santal Vanille)- $18-$43

This smells so good! It's very light and not heavy which for some people is great.

 

Nest New York (Wild Poppy) Perfume Set-$100

Mini Sephora Haul!

Hi! Hope everyone finds themselves doing great. I know that it's been a hard few months but hopefully you are all managing with our new "normal". I can speak for myself when I say that things have been hard adjusting to, but also I've been doing my best to keep myself busy and motivated. Like I have mentioned in my past post, I have been doing a lot of DIY projects at home that have kept me occupied. My boyfriend and I recently re-designed our closet which I will share in the next post. 

Since we only go out to grab the necessary groceries and that's it, I find myself shopping online way more than I used to. I recently purchased a few things from Sephora that I needed to restock on and a few new things that I've been loving and wanted to share with you guys. 

I heard about these glow peel pads from a Youtuber- they are amazing! 

(Sephora-Glow Peel Pads- $11-$21)

I've always been a huge fan of Ole Henriksen. If your in the market for a new skin care- this whole brand is fantastic!

(Ole Henriksen- $29)

This palette looked so fun and cute!

(Sephora Collection Palette- $14)

Love the packaging! And the colours are so pretty.

(Sephora Collection Lipsticks- $10)

I've had my eye on this for awhile and so far I've been loving. Leaves my lips smooth and soft. Would of loved for it to have a little bit of flavour but thats ok, highly recommend. 

(Tatcha- The Kissu Lip Mask- $36)

Everything I get from The Ordinary- I truly love! Such amazing products and super affordable.

This one in particular is great for your skin and hair.

(The Ordinary-100% Organic Cold Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil- $6.80)

This one helps reduces the looks of spots and hyperpigmentation.

(The Ordinary- Alpha Arbutin 2%+ HA- $8.80)

This one helps with improving dullness in your skin. This product was actually chosen in Allure's Best Of Beauty 2019.

(The Ordinary- Hyaluronic Acid 2%+ B5- $6.80-$12.20)

This is an oldie but a goodie. One of my favourite facial creams ever! My boyfriend also loves this one too :)

Current Amazon Faves & Finds!

Hi loves! Hope you are all doing great! So I'm back with another Amazon Finds post sharing some of the new things I have recently purchased. Since being on quarantine I have found myself purchasing a lot more things online then I used to and to be honest I don't mind at all. I hope you guys enjoy the post and find something you guys would like to try out.

1. MudBuster ($24.99)

This thing has changed my life! I take my dog out everyday for 2-3 walks a day and usually it's a 2 hours walk. He runs around like crazy, gets into mud and dirt and is always coming back home with dirty paws. Before it was so hard cleaning his paws since he's such a big dog (German Shepherd/Lab mix) but now it's so much easier to clean them. Total life changer!

2. Schick Silk Face Razor ($5.99)

I have been removing the peach fuzz from my face for a couple of years now, and I have always used this particular product. This is definitely a product that I highly recommend and trust.

3. Along-Fit High Waisted Leggings ($28.99)

Okay! Let me just saw that I have purchased a million leggings (yes! I practically live in leggings) and wow! Was I surprised when I received these. My boyfriend actually got me these leggings after he saw me eyeing them for awhile. I was iffy about it at first because when I buy clothes I actually like touching the fabric and seeing first hand the quality of the clothing. But when they arrived was I surprised, the quality of these leggings actually feel nicer then other expensive leggings that I own and they are a fraction of the price. I would 100% recommend these! So much that I ordered a couple more pairs in different colours!

4. iPhone Case- Pink ($10.99)

Both of these iPhone cases are so cute! and really good quality.








iPhone Case- Neon Orange ($9.99)

  5. Malouf Bed Glides ($23.99)

I recently purchased a new headboard from Pottery Barn and purchasing these helped my give my bed the height that I needed in order to attach the screws to the bed frame.

6. Foot Spa Massager ($74.99)

This foot massager is life changing! I have it used a couple of times but I think that my mom has enjoyed this even more since she always using it! She loves it! haha and I can't blame her.

7. Rubbermaid Storage ($39.99)

I have never been a fan of tupperware, I feel like whatever I put in them stain the containers and they eventually start to smell throughout time but these ones don't stain nor do they smell so that's awesome.

8. Make-up Sponge ($13.99)

I love applying my make-up with a beauty sponge. I think it's a great tool to help apply your make-up beautifully, but it can get expensive. I always wash my beauty sponge to help eliminate the germs from it but I also like to replace them every now and then. This is a great dupe if your looking for one!

9. Beautural Lint Remover ($17.99)

This little thing will change your life! If you hate the lint that your clothing forms throughout the time after a few washes, then you'll love this guy! Once I use it on my clothes, it leaves them looking brand new! It's amazing! I have even used it on bed sheets which is amazing.

10. Sponge Storage ($2.74)

This is great way to store your beauty sponge and help prevent germs getting on it. Besides it's super cute! and comes in 3 different colours.

11. Multifunctional Clothes Hanger ($11)

I recently purchased these for my sister. She has 3 little girls so that means a whole bunch of clothes! So to help her store the girls clothes and not over crowd their closets and I thought this would be a great way to help her out.

12. Tie Dye Kit ($55.49)

I decided to get on the tie dye bandwagon! I've seen so many people get these and make cute shirts, shorts and socks. I thought it would be a cute idea to do these with my nieces. Besides these remind my of when I was a little kid.

Last Minute Valentine's Gifts

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day and for those who are just starting their day, I hope you guys have a good one. I feel like Valentine's day is one of those holidays that your either love or hate, and to be honest I love it. I remember when I was little my dad would always come home with a bouquet of flowers for my mom and chocolates for us and we would all share them after dinner. My mom would walk us to school and we both would be so excited with a bag full of Valentine's day cards and chocolates we prepared the night before with her to exchange with our friends in class. When we would get home from school we would be so excited to show my parents all our Valentine's day cards we had received. My mom would wait for us with a special dinner that she came up with ( my mom is known for putting a meal together with what ever she had in the fridge, it was her "inventions"). Now that I'm older I hold all those memories so close to my heart and think "wow" we had such a beautiful childhood. I like to spend Valentine's day with those I love, this year I'm away from home but I'm still very lucky to spend it with Andres.

Andres and I spend the last few years keeping things very low key, cooking at home, which I love, and then we would always end up watching the same movie- Titanic lol. Restaurants are always very packed and if you don't have a reservation, well- you'll be waiting along time.

As you guys already know I'm currently in South America and to be honest I didn't get a chance to buy my boyfriend a gift as our trip was really last minute. So here I am contemplating on what I should get for him. I know that he'd be happy if I just baked him something but, I personally really like buying him a gift. So I have narrowed down on what would be a great last minute gift that I can just run to the mall and pick up. I think I'm leaning more into the Resident Evil game- since I'm also a nerd for video games LOL!

I hope these ideas will help you out if your doing a last minute gift. No matter how you are celebrating or with whom I wish you an amazing Valentine's day filled with lots of L-O-V-E.   

For Him:

1. Puma Clyde Court  2. Apple Watch Series 4  3. Dior- Sauvage Eau de Parfum  4. Bose SoundSport In-Ear Wireless Headphones  5. H&M Joggers   6. JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Bluetooth Wireless Speaker  7. Resident Evil 2 (PS4/ XBOX One)  8. Nike- Brasilia X-Large Backpack

For Her:

1. Givenchy- L'Interdit Eau de Parfum  2. Pandora- Shape of my Heart Jewelry Set  3. Victoria Secret- Short Satin Kimono  4. Herbivore Hydrate + Glow Natural Skin Care Kit  5. Daniel Wellington Classic Petite Melrose Watch  6. Steve Madden Dulce Blush Heels  7. Bath and Body Works Lotions

Natura Products

I was first introduced to Natura products back in 2012 and fell completely in love with them. For those of you that are not familiar with this brand, it's a Brazilian beauty company that offers a variety of products such as, skin care, hair products, fragrances and make-up. I'm completely obsessed with them, no joke!- it's that amazing! Let me just start by saying for those of you who are new to my blog, first of all welcome! lol and second of all, I'm a complete skin care junkie as everyone knows. You know that friend that tries out all the creams possible at a store that once you guys leave she smells like a bowl of sugar candy?- yup I'm that girl, but that's me everywhere even at home when I just bought a bag of new goodies lol. I love trying new products that will help my skin feel smooth and make it look as radiant and healthy as possible. So I'm constantly trying new things and this is one that I will forever love.

Make sure to check out their website to check out the products they offer.- www.naturabrasil.com 

Disclaimer- packaging may be different since I buy mine when I'm in South America

All of the scents that they carry are completely amazing but, I have to say that my all time favourite scent is the "Acai" collection. The whole collection is fantastic especially the hand cream, which leaves my hands feeling moisture all day long. The smell is incredible and not too over powering which is perfect. This hand cream has a very nice consistency that don't leave your hand feeling sticky.

 Body Creams

I've never had any complaints when I try something new from this brand, everything smells fantastic  and once I apply it, my skin instantly feels smoother. I'm very particular when it comes to the lotions that I apply on my legs especially after shaving. The reason being is because I feel that scented creams sometimes make my legs get a rash after I apply it on right away. I didn't understand if it was the ingredients that was in a scented lotions that would cause this or it simply happened because I have really sensitive skin. But to be quite honest I haven't had that problem with these lotions at all! I use it all the time and guess what?- no rash! I'm seriously obsessed with these body lotions and they come in a variety of scents. The body lotions have light weight consistency that absorbs quickly into your skin. It's a product that has got some very good reviews and is highly recommended.

Official product details from Natura Brazil website:

Its formula enriched with shea butter and Long Term Nutrition Complex moisturizes the skin for 36 hours, strengthens its natural shine, for a beautifully radiant skin.
