[Kim888]

I don't see an August Haul Thread Started Yet! Welcome to the August hauls thread! Can't wait to see all our end of summer purchases

Ulta nail event & 20%

Redeemed 1000 pts (my birthday mon is next mon already have planned purchases😈♍) only came out of pocket $18. Not bad day at all

Most excited for the sheet masks!

Forgive my paint job, I just had to swatch!

[curlychiquita]

Great buy, @sonnydee!

[bakeamuffin]

Wow, what a deal!! These masks all look so nice @sonnydee, and so do the nail polishes. Have fun 😄

[quspork]

Those nail colors are gorgeous, @sonnydee!

[sonnydee]

thanks @quspork. I only had 1 out of 3 already so that's a accomplishment for me! Almost gave up😢

What a fun haul @sonnydee! Have you used the I Dew Care masks before? 

[sonnydee]

I just used the space kitten peel off mask earlier this week. It hurt peeling off but it's specifically for your t zone & I put it on my chin.🤔I was pretty impressed with it. I've used the boscia black peel off & thought it was a little "weak" for my taste. I recently saw their sheet mask come up online & was curious about them. I figured 20% off & a set is a pretty good excuse to try!😁 @itsfi

Bought these at Marshalls today for 12.99 & 9.99, respectively. Any thoughts on these or are they just hype?

[liv545]

@infamousp ohhhh! Good purchase!! I’ve been wanting to try those. Do let me know what you think of them!

[liv545]

Skinfood is my new favorite!

I love minis. So much.

Loving all of these so far.

Ulta haul. The gwp was really good this go. Especially love the bag itself. Ulta has been getting all my money lately. I had planned for spending at Sephora but with the single use online code, no gwp if you use the code for discount, and no extra points, I went with Ulta instead. And brand websites. A bunch have had great sales. Waiting on those orders to arrive. Still waffling on whether to buy from Sephora or wait for Caudalíe to have a deal.

[curlychiquita]

@liv545, I love your haul!  So many great products!

[CC3616]

@liv545 theres a lot of caudalie at cult beauty and they have their fall goody bag out right now, may be worth a look at the gift bag thread if you're planning a big purchase 

[liv545]

@CC3616 thank you for the heads up! I’ve never ordered from Cult Beauty. Always looking to maximize my spending $$$ though. For me I’d rather get an LE item or more/free product than a small sum off of the price if I have to choose. I need a back up of my staples, the cru rich cream and serum. I’ll probably wait til the absolute last second to order, scoping out every website that sells Caudalíe 😂😂 Cult sounds like a great option! I get so excited for goodie bags. It’s like trick or treating for adults.

[quspork]

Nice haul, @liv545! It looks like you have a lot of fun things to play with! 

[eshoe]

Was that little velvet pouch part of the GWP, @liv545? How did I miss that? It is adorable!!! Le mini macaron makes some fun hand and nail masks, hope you enjoy all your new goodies🙂

[liv545]

@eshoe and I’ve never tried the macaron line. I’m in love with gourmand scents so figured at the least it would smell nice? Good to know it’s a solid brand 🙂 I only recently got really into Ulta so I’m finding all these brands I’ve never heard of before. 

[liv545]

Yes it was part of the gwp. It was the $60 buy in. The $30 actually had the neater samples (I.e. the Cargo and Winky Lux minis)

there were so many samples in there. I already divided them up between what I’m keeping, what I’m giving to my mom and then my best friend. It’s great to know people with different makeup and skincare interests. Feels like less waste that way.

Great haul @liv545! 😊 I spy some very nice Skincare products - I’ve used a couple of Skinfood items and have found them to be quite good. Enjoy your treats!

[liv545]

@itsfi good eye! I bought a couple Skinfood masks on a whim a while back and was really impressed with the results. I’ve been buying other items here and there and so far they’ve all been wonderful. And crazy affordable! I reaaaaally like the black sugar scrub I just got. I woke up with glowing skin and the only thing I’ve changed is using the Skinfood stuff. Now I want to buy a whole line but not sure if I want the black sugar, yuja, or honey propolis stuff. Any thoughts on them?

[itsfi]

@liv545, I love the strawberry black sugar mask! It’s fabulous!! 

That’s so funny you asked about the black sugar line, the yuzu one or the propolis one because I was just wondering last night which of those would be better (I was online looking at different Skinfood products). I’m inclined to go for the propolis products, particularly with my skin type and fall and winter coming. I also am interested in some of their pomegranate products. So many good options to choose from and very affordable!  

Enjoy all your Skinfood goodies - your skin is going to be sooo happy! 😃 

[liv545]

@itsfi I’m leaning toward the propolis myself. Wishing Ulta had been in stock with the propolis essence when Skinfood was buy one get one 40% off. I’m definitely going to pick up a bunch next time they do that. It was why I got so much Skinfood this time. Super shocked by the quality to price point. Now I want all the things. The brand website is doing a sale but it’s on cleansers and sheet masks. I already picked up those though during the 10x points at Ulta. Whichever ones you get def let me know. I’m going to pick up that strawberry mask. I only have the black sugar and the rice ones. And now the different fruit ones but haven’t tried those yet. I’m obsessed with the black sugar honey mask though. I use it in the shower and let it soak in while I do the rest of my routine. Highly recommend it.
