eBay Beauty Haul- NYX, Skindinavia, Proactiv, Tarte


Hello all ~

So there have been a couple products that I have been hearing people rave about on YouTube, so I decided I wanted to check them out. Since I am a huge eBay junkie, that is the first place that I went.
So here's what I got :







The first thing that I picked out was the Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray. I had been using ELF's makeup spray, and was not completely happy with the results, but I had been hearing about how so many guru's used the Skindinavia line, so I went after it. I am very glad that I did, because I love it! It goes on very easily and sets relatively fast, and helps my makeup stay nice and fresh all day!

I paid $11.50 for this with $3.99 shipping.















So I have been looking for more primers to use, even though I do like my Clinique Pore Refining Solutions primer. So after watching Nicole G.'s YouTube video's one night (nguerriero19), I decided to give this one a go. I haven't used it much, but so far it is very nice. It gives my face a nice, soft feel, and it does help my makeup to go on smoother. Such a tiny amount though :(  (.25 Oz.)

I paid $8.99 for this product with free shipping.







The next thing that I decided to purchase was the Proactiv Refining Mask. I had used Proactiv years ago and did not really see the results that I had been hoping for, so I switched to Clinique's Acne system and have been happy with the results. However, I have had a lot of stress lately with minimal sleep due to college finals, so I found myself breaking out more severely. I decided to give this product another go, and I am very glad that I did. After the first use, I could already tell that my acne was healing, and I felt great about my purchase. I will more than likely be repurchasing this mask.
I also like Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask but it has been out of stock everywhere lately! : (


I paid$6.90 for this, with free shipping. (I love free shipping!)






Last, but certainly not least, I had been wanting the NYX Black Label lipsticks for a long time since my favorite beauty guru, shaaanxo, has been using India quite often and it looks beautiful on her. So I ventured over to eBay after seeing that the two colors that I wanted were out of stock on cherryculture.com and I found a great deal with 2 Lipsticks of my choice for one price. I chose India, a light coral, and Girly Pink, a light shimmery pink. So far I do like them, but I haven't found a good, creamy lip liner to go with them. I will continue the hunt!

I paid $10.99 for a set of two lipsticks, and $1.75 shipping.

India = right

Girl Pink, India




 If you have any of these products, or any other primer/spray that you are loving, let me know! I'd love to check into them : )

Rite Aid Haul - Skin Care

Hello All ~


So this week I picked up a few things from Rite Aid that I had been wanting for a while, and I thought I would share it with all of you!




The first thing that I picked up was the Coconut Milk White Chocolate Shaping Body Souffle from Organix. I picked this up because from the first time I picked it up, it smelled AMAZING. It smells like a light, creamy coconut without being overpowering and obnoxious. I don't typically like coconut smells (like Aussie products), but I love this. It's extremely smooth and silky, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy.

I paid $9. 99 for this, and Organix products were buy one get one free this week  : )



Since Organix products were on sale this week, I decided to also pick up the Coconut Milk White Lotus Body Mist as well. I wanted this product to go with the body souffle, as well as to give my skin a nice tropical smell for the summertime. This wasn't too overpowering either, and leaves me with a fresh tropical coconut and flowers smell.


The last thing I got was the Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub by Giovanni. I had wanted a new body scrub for a while, and I noticed that Rite Aid had a few on clearance. I swear to you, this product smells exactly like freshly made hot chocolate. It is so amazing. I plan on saving a lot of it for the wintertime, just to give me the extra feeling of warmth (or I may buy another one). The packaging is very sleek, and the texture is a really nice, larger grained scrub.

I believe this was originally $13.99 or $15.99, but it was 75% off, so I think I paid around $3.99 for it.


So that's all that I picked up this trip!

Has anyone else tried any of these products? If so, what do you think about them?
Also, if you have a favorite Organix product, let me know! I'd be really interested in trying it!

Thanks for reading~
