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!

Some Sephora extra point stuff and randoms. Beautylish bonus money finally spent! Also thanks to @danielledanielle for enabling the MOB set, love it! 💞

#Dior On Stage 496 and 550 (can’t tag properly) - these feel amazing. Like a thicker balm lipstick yet glossy at first. Very comfortable and applies evenly right away as the shape really works. Quite a decent long-lasting stain. Most shades of these seem to be warmer toned. 
SEPHORA COLLECTION 12 Hour Colorful Contour Pencil Eyeliner 51 Stone 
#Ciele Flush and Protect  Rush and Blaze and brush - the 45 SPF intrigued me and they are really soft, blend so easily. Love the brush. 
Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush Magenta - this is such a great blush! Silky smooth and dries down to a great glowy blur. 
The new Dior blurring blush are very interesting. Thick moussey as others mention and dries down nicely to a blurry look. Love the vibrant shades.  I still find I like to add a little sheen something under these as they aren’t quite enough for me and I still like a bit of a glow to the look. Probably negates what they are but whatever! ( I prefer the YSL I think! Oops. ) I know, enough with the blush! 
SEPHORA COLLECTION Micro Masks Firming / 3 pieces 
The new Dior Blurring Luminescent powder is super light yet gives off a subtle radiance. So nice! My skin feels polished yet light all day.

Look at those blushes! Beautiful, @Sunnysmom!

[Sunnysmom]

Truly just shaking my head at myself any more @curlychiquita ! 😂 They are beautiful formulas all! 

[CorgiMommy]

Those shades will be perfect for fall,  enjoy @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Loving fall shades as always @CorgiMommy !

@Sunnysmom Amazing haul. I have been wanting to pick up 2 Ciele blushes since we have the new display in store. How do you like the blushes?

[Sunnysmom]

I do @SportyGirly125 . They’re very subtle and easy to blend. Soft but no real kick up. Somewhere between the Saie and Ilia in terms of pigment and sheen as they have a very light sheen but more blurring. Ilia’s is stronger in both pigment and shine think . Both seem to last all day for me. Saie maybe a little less so but I still love them, Mia in particular . I’ll have to go see the other shades as the other pink was an option or Shy too.

@Sunnysmom  That brush though… I was trying to ignore the blush compacts, but since there’s also a brush, I’ll have to investigate now. 🙃

Love seeing all your swatches, as always. I have some new Dior coming, but forgot about the luminescent powder. It sounds lovely! 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @WinglessOne , what you get from Dior? Fun! Think you’ll love them. Yes I love this little brush! The angle and softness is great. Not too soft but somehow works so well to blend and diffuse. 

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  I’m glad the brush is a love for you! Definitely adding it to one of my loves lists. 

My Dior order contains two of those new blushes, one Diorshow lipstick, and a couple single shadows. Should arrive tomorrow!

[danielledanielle]

Yes, yes, yes.... You needed that in your collection!!! @Sunnysmom 

I'm pretending I saw nothing else btw 🫣🫣

[Sunnysmom]

Ha isn’t that the truth for us all on BIC @danielledanielle ! 🤣 The reds are perfect and I love the makeup bag because we don’t have enough of those! But honestly this one is a perfect little size right?! And if not then we just have to find a new bag so it fits… NOoooo this is going in the wrong direction! 😆

Last of the August hauls. Sephora, BBW, Kopari, and Ulta.

@SportyGirly125 I'll always love those shiseido cottons.

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. 😂
