Audacious and Atomic August Hauls 2025

[danielledanielle]

 

It's the peak of summer ⛱️

Oooh, bummer

No Sephoria (yet) and school may start soon.

But we're about to swoon

Over your haul

Whether they are are audaciously large

Or atomically small

Holiday sets hitting up your charge 💳

Friends and Family may be at large

For all these gifts, I might need a barge

Three for me, one for you, though

Following that @blackkitty2014 credo

 

Happy Birthday to all the August BIC Babies!

A few beauties for my last August hauls post.

Sephora, Ulta

Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer - the new limited edition Cinnamon Gingerbread scent (not populating to tag) Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer - Touchland | Sephora

Shiseido Super-Soft, 100% Natural Facial Cotton 165 sheets are the softest out there - thanks to @danielledanielle for letting me know these were/are half-off.

Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask - Beauty of Joseon | Sephora

Tom Ford F Fabulous Lipstick (with leatherette case) (limited edition) - I picked up shades #F2 Blush and #F5 Rose (swatches in spoiler) - there are 10 shades total in the collection. The store only had 7 of the 10 out.

I purchased the 111SKIN Black Diamond Contour Gel after having it used on me during a facial. The Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Treatment Mask, Repair Serum NAC Y2 and black satin pouch were gifts with purchase, and the aesthetician generously gave me deluxe samples of their Black Diamond Vitamin C Brightening Booster and Black Diamond Retinol Oil to try. 

I have a few catch-up hauls I still need to photograph (I know 😞) and a few orders from this past week that will arrive in September, but other than a piece or two (or three!) from Hung Vanngo's new line, a Rhode item I don't yet have (I know! 😲), and possibly the soon-to-be-released Chris Collins fragrance, the One/Size Makeup Remover Dissolving Mist, and maybe a new-to-me foundation, it will likely be a quiet September / early October, haul-wise for me, unless a sale, promo or event comes along that makes resistance futile. 😂

Beautiful TF for you I’m sure @itsfi. I’m excited to hear about the Hung Vanngo line from you and to see it on Sephora. I know nothing about it! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, thank you; the TF will keep me distracted for a while. I'm fairly certain there will be BIC beauties a plenty who will pick up one or more items from Hung Vanngo's eponymous (always wanted to use that in a sentence so I'm checking that off the bucket list! ☑️) line so there should be some good swatches and thoughts coming to the Sensational September 2025 Hauls thread in a couple/few weeks. Alicia Archer uploaded a YT video with some swatches including a beautiful berry lipstick from his collection. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ha that’s a lovely sentence @itsfi ! I couldn’t do it! Uh oh a berry?! Nooo. 🥺 I’ll have to look. I am waiting for my TF Plum to come, exciting times. 😂 Distractions are good! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, the berry red shade from his lipstick collection is "Award Winner" - I'm not able to tag the product, sorry. Here's the screenshot of the swatch from Alicia Archer's YT video. The orange red next to it is Vanngo Red shade.

Oh that’s really a good berry @itsfi , thanks for showing me. I’ll look up her video too! 😘

[curlychiquita]

Everything looks wonderful, @itsfi!  I love the Tom Ford colors you bought!

[itsfi]

Thank you @curlychiquita; the TF lipsticks were unplanned but well loved purchases; they'll be great for fall and winter. I also like the new foundation but going to hold off on that for a bit.

[lmaster]

Ouhh the touchland scent sounds wonderful,  gorgeous lippies! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I just saw that Sephora is offering a set this year of seasonal scents ... that I can't seem to tag, sigh. 😅😞 - Cinnamon Gingerbread is the newest scent, but they're bringing back scents from last year - Spiced Pumpkin-tini, Salted Caramel, and Peppermint Mocha.

Limited Edition Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Seasonal Trio Set - Touchland | Sephora

[CookieGirl1]

I feel like I haven't spent as much time in BIC lately (this Summer has been a busy one 🙁) but I've still been doing a little hauling.

[Sunnysmom]

Looks like you picked up so many good things @CookieGirl1 ! Love the Sulwhasoo cleansing oil too. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom I haven't tried it yet!  I went on a bit of a cleansing oil kick and decided that I needed to try a few.

[curlychiquita]

Great shopping, @CookieGirl1!  I haven’t been on as often because I needed some stitches on a finger which in the scheme of things is not a huge deal except that it was annoying to hold my phone. 🙄

[CookieGirl1]

@curlychiquita Oh no, what happened?!

[curlychiquita]

@CookieGirl1  Nothing too bad, I had just burst a blood vessel. It’s getting better, thank you! ❤️

[lmaster]

Gorgeous haul @CookieGirl1 

[CorgiMommy]

@CookieGirl1 awesome hauls, enjoy!

[SportyGirly125]

@SportyGirly125 @CorgiMommy, @lmaster thank you!
