Mini Haul! + Thank You!



I got a few things this week for myself and I got the Dior Oil Blotting Sheets and Nivea A Kiss of Shine Natural Glossy Lip Care, as well as the Bio-Oil and Etude Sleeping Pack from a very lovely swapper. I really wanted to get the Nivea lip balm/gloss to see how it compares to my amazing Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfecter, but it really doesn’t compare at all. There are very few similarities between the two products. I might do a comparison post, but I'm not sure yet. I got the Dior Oil Blotting Sheets because I can never have enough and I’m an oil slick! I haven’t tried the Bio-Oil or Etude Sleeping Pack yet, but I’m excited to try them! I’ve heard great things about the Bio-Oil and the Etude Sleeping Pack would seem like a great mask! I tried the mask on the back of my hand and it seems pretty promising. There is no way that I'm actually going to sleep in this mask, but I will make sure to have this on for a long time. I'm hoping to use the Bio-Oil to get rid of an acne scars and hopefully it won't break me out. I did get a few other things this week as well, but I don't deem them very interesting, since the products are just products that I repurchased and have used before. I do have a few packages coming in with BB Creams that I can not wait to try! Let me know if any of you guys want me to do any specific posts or any review of the items I have mentioned. 

On another note, I have been blogging on this beauty blog for exactly a month and two days and I can not thank you guys enough for reading my posts and following me! I've gotten so much feedback from you guys and I'm so grateful! Thank you so much! <3

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy in #2 Dewy Papaya


I have recently gotten the Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy in #2 Dewy Papaya in a swap and I absolutely love it! However, I would never purchase this. The way I see this product is that it is a lip balm, that gives a glossy finish, in a lipstick form. The reason I say that I absolutely love this product is that I love the way it looks and feels on my lips! It is great at moisturizing your lips and it gives your lips a very natural glossy finish. The finish is actually very similar to the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector! I also find that this product last a good amount of time on the lips. Of course, I can not forget the delicious and amazing scent (and taste) of the Yves Saint Laurent lip products! I can not stop smelling this lip product! It smells soooo delicious! It smells just like melon candy! 

So yes, it does feel, look, and smell amazing, however it is definitely not worth the $30 for this lip product. The main reason is that it goes on clear! There is almost no tint to this product at all, it is clear! I would probably have to swipe this product on my lips 20 times to get the peachy tint out of this product. The Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy are luxurious and smells fantastic, however the formulation of the product is not worth the $30! I would rather go purchase the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector, which are just as good (and better!) as the Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy.
