Yeah, I realize it's June 1st but let's just say that I'm "fashionably late" in posting for May 😁.

The more I use the Playa conditioner, the more I like it and I can see myself buying the matching shampoo to go with it.  The Briogeo duo are also working really well for me!  TBH, a lot of Briogeo products don't usually work out for me that well but my hair seems to like these.

Caudalie makes products that generally work well for me and now my Mom--who has EXTREMELY sensitive and reactive skin--has switched over to primarily Caudalie in her routine after I gave her a moisturizer to try out several months back.  I actually got the Sorbet for her and I'm keeping the SOS for myself.  The Elta MD is going to be something that I primarily use when my skin is feeling a little stressed or overly dried out although I haven't tried it yet--I was waiting to finish up another serum first.  And I blame @itsfi for the TJ's Watermelon Mist (thanks, girl!).  I fell in love with it last summer and if it hadn't been for her I wouldn't have known that it made a comeback again this year.

A smattering of samples/GWPs and I got a backup of my Winter shade as well as my Summer shade in the HUDA BEAUTY #FauxFilter Skin Finish Buildable Coverage Foundation Stick because it's been my favorite since I tried it a couple months ago.  And I finally ordered the Em Cosmetics Lip Cushions after stalling on them for awhile!  I'm late to the party on those, lol.

Love the hauls, @CookieGirl1! I'm glad you found that the Caudalie products work well for you and your mom.

@CookieGirl1 fantastic haul!! Caudalie is a great brand, glad it's working for your mom 😊

[CookieGirl1]

Thanks, @lmaster!

Yaaay on the TJ watermelon mist @CookieGirl1! 🍉 I'll take the blame! 😂 So happy you were able to pick one up - it smells so good and will be great for the warmer months. Oooh, I spy blue nail polish. I know you were on the hunt for a particular blue shade a while back; hope this one comes close to what you were looking for, or is even better! 💅

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi thanks again for the heads up on the mist.  I might have a few of them now 😉. And I'm impressed that you remembered that I was on the hunt for a blue polish! The Essie one didn't quite hit the mark for me BUT I found one from China Glaze (forgot to post a pic of that one--oops!) from this years' summer collection and it's almost exactly what I wanted. 💙

@CookieGirl1 Great haul.  Love Caudalie and the SOS line.  Keep the packaging because you can redeem them online for points which can get you free product.

[CookieGirl1]

@SportyGirly125 I didn't know that! Thanks.

@CookieGirl1 The box the Caudalie products come in have a code to enter on their site.

@CookieGirl1   Is that the Briogeo mango and cherry scent?  How is it?

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 yup! I actually really like them both. I don't use the shampoo everyday because I think that it would be slightly drying with overly repeated use but it does a really good job of almost having a detoxifying effect and removing product build-up from my hair so I'm okay with using it two to three times a week. The conditioner is fabulous! It adds back moisture and hydration to combat the slightly drying effect of the shampoo.  They both smell great, although slightly different than I was actually expecting - - it's almost like a tart cherry-mango scent rather than an overly sweet cherry but I like it :-).

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  Great info- thanks!  I agree that the shampoo can be a little drying.  Please, oh please, try their Be Kind co-wash sometime if you need a gentle, moisturizing hair cleanser.

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 funny you mention that! You're the third or fourth person that has talked about liking the co-wash lately and previously it wasn't even on my radar. 

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1   It was an impulse, blind buy for me with Ulta points.  One of the best risks I've taken. 🙂

@CookieGirl1 Ooh nice haul!!

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian thank you!

[SportyGirly125]

Ohhhhh that blush palette!!!! @SportyGirly125 

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster It's so pretty in person.

[CookieGirl1]

@SportyGirly125 The palette looks so much nicer IRL than in the promo pics :).  Those colors will look gorgeous on you!
