Ulta Haul: Too Faced Pop Tarts Pallet

 

When I saw the Too Faced Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts Pallet, I knew it was going in my cart.  




There isn't a bad shade in the bunch. Bite me and in my fillings have me excited. What beautiful shades. Dust the crust and get toasted looks like they can be fun on a night out. I haven't bought a Too Faced pallet that I haven't loved, and I have no doubt this won't disappoint me either. 


 

I also picked up two more crease brushes from wet and wild.  They are the best at blending and finishing off that great eye look.  And you can't beat the price.  Wet and wild brushes are a great buy and not to be slept on. They are great quality and have a brush for every need. 



 

Another product I love from wet and wild is their lipsticks. I have so many and have repurchased many shades including two I got this time.

 


Think Pink is about the most perfect shade of pink out there.  Absolutely love it. This is about the third tube I have bought, and I have no doubt there will be more.  


 

A new shade I got is Cinnamon Spice.  A nice red shade with some brown tones.  Will be perfect for some fall looks.


 

Another repurchase is Skinny Dipping.  Who doesn’t love a good nude shade with a little bit of brown and pink undertones.  I have no idea how many of these I have bought but I know I currently have three.  It might be an obsession. Do they have rehab for that? 

Brazil Nut Body Butter

 

Finally got my hands on the Brazil Nut Butter from Trader Joes it smells so good and the silky texture is heavenly. I also love that it’s not heavy or greasy.

Cookbook Haul

I've recently bought my first house and making it my own.  One thing I love to do is cook so of course I had to buy some new cookbooks from some of my favorite chefs to go with the dozens I already own. I love how they provide little pops of color to my kitchen.  
One of my favorite places for new recipes and cooking trends is TikTok.  Mississippi Kween (@mississippikween) is definitely a personal favorite content creator and works hard at providing great recipes that are creative, fancy, and flavorful while still being budget-friendly. 

 I also love how she includes her kids in the process. She also has excellent product suggestions that make life in the kitchen much easier.  I laugh every time she has to taste the cheese for poison.  That's something my family has done since I was a kid. lol 

 
@Yourbarefootneighbor is another favorite. He makes easy recipes look more complicated and sophisticated than they are.  I can't wait to try his casserole with no name. Let me know if you have any of these cookbooks and what have you made.  Also, let me know who your favorite food content creators are.

Project Pan: Bath and Body Works Merry Cookie


With all the options Bath and Body Works have in the Christmas collection Merry Cookie is by far my favorite.  I use it year-round.  With the ideal balance of fresh baked cookies, rich vanilla, and sparkling sugar crystals it's just about the perfect scent. It's going to be a long few months until the next Christmas collection comes out and I can repurchase.

Pallet Review: Lemonade by Maybelline


So devastated that this is no longer available. I should have bought a backup.  The range of looks I am able to create is amazing.  I can use this every day and never wear the same look twice in a week.  This is also perfect for creating amazing looks for going out.  It is a great all-around pallet. If you are going on vacation this pallet will cover all your needs. If you know a dupe let me know.
