Bath and Body Works Haul

I think it is safe to say that i LOVE Bath and Body works, but i don't love some of the prices. So when there is a sale i love to stock up ! The first items are for my boyfriend, I got him Six, 2 in 1 hair+ body wash. Five in the scent Citron and one in Oak. He gave one to his dad and one is currently in the shower. He LOVES Citron so much. The scent is very light but still masculine, it has a nice woodsy smell tied in with citrus i love it too ! Now the Oak one is more dense musky wood smell. It is really strong and more of a sexy scent for a date night. Next i got some Shower Gel for myself! I started with my all time FAV scents from Bath and Body Works, Twilight Woods and Paris Amour. Twilight Woods is what my "scent" was. My aunt knows when im around because she will just smell me from far away, which i personally love. It has a rich apricot/ flower scent and it is to die for ! Paris Amour, i discovered this from a girl at school and i have been hooked ever since. It literally smells like what i
imagine France to smell like. It smells like tulips, champagne, and beautiful apple blossoms. I have the matching body spray and just used up the body scrub ! I would most definitely recommend these both. Next I got Beautiful Day and as you can see , i pretty much used this up already. It has the scents , Creamy musk, fresh pink peony, white peach, blonde woods, sun kissed apples, dewy pear, lily, daisies and cassis. SUCH an amazing combo of scents. If you love Apples and Pears this is for you ! Moving on to White Mango Chill. This is part of there "Summer Chill" collection and i actually got this for free !!! It hit the nail on the head for a summer scent, with white mango, strawberry frost, kiwi sorbet, flowers and blue sugarcane. It packs a "Fruit Punch". If you love sugary scents mixed with fruit you will love this ! Sticking to the summer theme i picked up the ever so famous Exotic Coconut . If you love
Coconut you will be in PARADISE! It smells just like toasted coconut and vanilla , with hints of creamy musk, warm sandalwood, pineapple, guava and papaya. Next we have Country Apple, Now this just smells like a fresh picked McIntosh Apple to the point where you can still smell the orchard. I love this because it smells so light and fresh ! Its great if you just want something to lift your spirits. Last of my Shower Gels i got Cucumber Melon. Bath and Body Works doesnt sell these in store anymore, but thats okay because they are online ! This will always be one of my favs. It smells like a crisp cucumber on a "dewy summer morning". Its great to lift your spirits and feel super clean! I love the Shower
Gels because they are extremely nourishing, with shea enriched gel combined with aloe vera and vitamin E. Then i got a body scrub in the scent Rome Honeysuckle Amore . To be honest i hate the smell of honeysuckle and i love this because it is combined with the smell of blackberries, raspberry, peony, cypress wood, italian peach, golden amber and soft sandlewood. It is a very dainty girly scent. I love the body scrub because it has a Superfruit complex made from the antioxidant fruits such as blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate. Moving onto Body lotions! First i got Wild Citrus Sunflower, and honestly that is just what is smells like. Yummy nectarines and sunflowers. I hope it will be online because i still
want to buy it ! Next from the same line i got Wild Peach Poppies. I am obsessed with the smell of peaches and this on my skin just smells so luxurious. It smells just like peaches , fresh poppies and a hint of sugary musk ! I wish i would have bought more of this one ! Last of these i got just a staple Sweet Pea body lotion. If you have never smelled Sweet Pea before you need to get yourself to a Bath and Body Works A.S.A.P. It is the sweetest floral scent ever and i must always have it at all times ! I love the body lotion because it has Vitamin E, Jojobo oil and Shea butter which
keeps your skin healthy and the jojobo oil makes it absorb into your skin quick so it isn't greasy. Moving on to the Triple Moisture Body Cream in the Sweethearts collection Honey Sweetheart. I love this smell of sweet honey violets with a dash of pink sugar. The triple moisture body cream is my favorite because it is so rich and light at the same time. It has so many great ingredients for your skin , 24 hour moisture and it is light / non-greasy . Coming up next we have Fresh Picked Hand Cream in Tangerines. I payed full price for this because it wasn't on sale at my Bath and Body Works but i had to get it because when i tested it , it was just so smooth, creamy, soft and
non-greasy all at the same time , Nick even loved it. It smells divine and just like sweet yummy juicy tangerines and i had to
have it . Im sad that they wont have this scent again but they still have others that will be staying. This hand cream has Shea Butter and Vitamin E so whenever you feel like your hands need some TLC use this! It is a perfect size to just throw in your purse! (i just put some on!) Now moving onto The Fine Fragrance Mist! First i got Cucumber Melon just because i love it , and they don't sell these in stores that's why it is the old packaging. This smells just like the body wash and a staple to smell fresh. Then i got Country Chic, This just smells like a sweet southern woman
fruit and flowers is the best way to put it ! Last scent i got is Pure Paradise and that truly what it is, just full of fruit, musk , coconuts, and flowers, just like a tropical island! I love love love this scent because it stays on for a long time. The next few products i got were hand soaps , literally each and every one smells delicious and if i go on about them i would never stop so i wont go into detail but i will go through the names. First of the Anti-Bacterial deep cleansing hand soap is Peach Bellini ,Fresh Picked Pears, Vanilla Berry Sorbet, Ocean
Pearl, Caribbean Escape, Fresh Picked Wildberries, and last Coral Reef. I also got three gentle foaming hand soap all in the scent Wildberry Dahlia, which i am in love with !! Each one smells DIVINE !!! and im so happy i got them . After that i just got some basic Anti-Bacterial Hand Gels , pretty basic, and they change the scents all the time so i dont think it
would be fair to share how much i love them and then you cant find them so i will just show you a picture. I got a super cute pocket bac holder that you can see in the picture ! I think they are still available . And Last but not least i got candles ! Their candles make me so happy. I only buy them when they are on sale i got four, but i used up Mahogany Teakwood (Abercrombie) and Pink Sangria (lemonade). The two i am going to share are Vanilla Coconut and Tiki Beach. First Vanilla Coconut smells just like the name vanilla and a creamy coconut with a hint of musk, i love this candle so much! Tiki Beach is a
little sweeter coconut , vanilla musk and orchids. This smells just like an island somewhere !! I hope you liked what i got , and i hope you are still reading ! I know this was long but i really wanted to share my finds with you. This haul retails for over $360 and i only paid around $90 ! So wait for sales and ALWAYS go to Bath and Body Works Armed with a coupon.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

I have been wanting this Urban Decay Primer Potion for the longest time, because of all the beauty gurus on YouTube raving about it. I never ended up getting it until my sister and I saw it at Nordstroms Rack. It is in the old packaging so we got it only around $8.00. I was super excited about it ! Then once i got home i used it, and i was a little upset because it didn't really cover any veins and my eye shadow still creased. So I stopped using it. Once I moved I re-discovered it. Even though it doesn't cover my veins , the lasting power is crazy ! Here are a few pictures of swatches.
I used the color Baby, it's cold from the MAC Holiday duo Pallet , the color is very similar
to their permanent Nylon. I first put the primer on and the eyeshadow over it. The Urban Decay Primer Potion really made a nice base for the eyeshadow to show its true pigmentation.



The shadow on the left is over the primer potion, and the right is not. Now I did a couple of things to see how it would stay on. I first ran it under some water and swiped it one time, you can tell in the right picture that the eyeshadow without the primer is already coming off. Then the second thing i did was wash my hands. you can see in this last picture that the eyeshadow on the right had no chance. Over all this is a great product. However I wouldn't buy it for full price as of now. There are other primer bases that work well and are way less expensive; but if you want to splurge then go for this product, because it isn't terrible but i think my money can be spent in different places. If you want me to do a review on any other primers, please let me know !!

I Love my Boyfriend more than anything

I know some of you wont really care to read this but i just wanted to share how much i truly adore Nick. No matter what i do he is here by my side helping me with everything, and i couldn't ask for anything more. He cracks me up so much and nothing in this whole entire universe will rip us apart. Everything he does is so cute and i will never stop loving and supporting him. I know its really important to just stick together no matter what and do anything you can to show the person you love that you truly admire them. Even if its a little kiss before bed , or saying that you love them, or just making them a little card out of printer paper would mean the world. Nick is my world , and nothing could ever make me stop loving him. The point i am trying to make is that , if you have someone you love tell them how much they mean to you today. Do something special for them and never leave each other in a bad mood , because bad things happen in seconds and you don't want to have the last conversation in a fight. Just a simple kiss, hug or a little something special would reassure them that you know they are important to you and you are never leaving their side. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer , and remember actions speak louder than words. I love you Nick

Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Haul; True Blue Spa Review

True Blue Spa
Bath and Body Works has been an an addiction of mine for a very long time now. I always shop their sales , more often then just any normal day . I wanted to share my thoughts on a few products i have picked up from the True Blue Spa line during their recent sale. I got these five items becuase i have always wanted to try the true blue spa, but it is extremely expensive! They were doing a deal ,buy one get one free, and one was 75% off so i decided to go for it !

I'm almost out !!
The first product i picked up was the Mango Butter 24 hour moisture body butter. First of all, this stuff smells AMAZING if you put it on right after the shower your whole entire house will smell like mango, which i love! The formula is perfect for my skin because it is not greasy and absorbs quickly compared to other brands. I tried this on my dry feet put some socks on and went to sleep, in the morning i could not believe how soft my feet were. The texture is very bouncy and thick and is perfect for anyone with very dry skin. I honestly wish i would have gotten more of this product because it retails around $15.00
Would i pay full retail price ? Yes  







The next product i have is the 100% Shea butter, All- Purpose Super-Moisture Balm. When i first got this i thought it was a body butter, but i ended up liking it anyway. There is no scent to this, which bummed me out but that's okay. When i first touched this i was a little intimidated, due to how thick it was. It reminds me of Coconut Oil a little bit. This works wonders on dry spots like knees, elbows, and feet. Oh yea i totally put this on my feet, and my feet feel great! I have also applied them to stretch marks and it made them fad just a tad, which i love ! I would not recommend putting this on your whole body because you can definitely

feel it on your skin for a while and it is very heavy. The retail price for this product was $17.50. I'm not to sure if i would pay full price for this , but it definitely works. Try picking it up at the next sale !







The next product i got is the Pumpkin Renewing Face Mask. This smells just like Fall, which is one of my favorite
seasons. I was expecting the packaging to be a little bigger but that isn't a huge deal to me personally. When i first used this i was a bit skeptical because it smelled and felt like i was just putting some kind of batter on my face. To my surprise after i washed it off my face felt so amazing ! This mask goes on almost clear, so its great to do if you still have things to do
around the house (the mailman came to the door when i had this mask on , and he probably couldn't even tell). I am very happy with this product, it retails for $12.00 and i would definitely pay full price for it!

Up next we have another face mask! This one is the Blackberry Purifying peel off Face Mask. Now let me tell you , when i went to use this for this first time i was so scared. The color of this is a true deep black color. The smell is divine, and not to harsh being so close to your nose, it smells a little more minty than blackberry, but still amazing. After i got over that factor, i laughed at myself in the mirror, and then waited for the 20 minutes. Now this would not be good to use if there are people around, unless you like to make jokes, trust me you will hear them. When your time is
approaching 20 minutes your face will be so tight !! i couldn't even talk or laugh, but as soon as i peeled it off my face felt like a baby's bottom ! No joke, i even saw blackheads on the peeled mask, it was fantastic ! This retails for $12.00 and i would most likely buy this at full price !


Last but not least i picked up the Apricot and White Tea Supremely Smoothing Face Scrub. The name says it all , it truly does smell like white tea and hints of apricot. I really needed a new face scrub and I'm happy i got this one. My face
instantly looked clearer. I pair this with one of the face masks and treat myself to a mini spa day. This product retails for $12.00 and i will be picking this up next time i go to BBW!! All in all i am very impressed with the True Blue Spa at Bath and Body Works , i wish i would have just bought them sooner because i feel like i was missing out !However i would never pay for bath and body works without a coupon, so i recommend going there armed with a coupon! Thank you so much for reading ! please leave questions and comments down below ! Have a wonderful evening everyone ! Bath and Body Works
