@RGbrown, yeah, the original Biobelles are fabulous; not sure why the changes in the mask material and ingredients. 😔 

I just checked out the nail thread and the Cupcake nails website and those polishes look great. I have a handful in the shopping cart 🛒 already; am going to have to whittle that down before I place my order. 😍

@itsfi 

I fell down a rabbit hole looking at a bunch of indie sites a couple of weeks ago; I totally understand the struggle in trying to pare it down!

I had found a coupon code for Cupcake; I think it was FACEBOOK10? 10% off in any case...not much but every little bit helps!

I'll throw this out there too: polishpickup dot com

Once a month (the first weekend) they have a popup shop with TONS of indie brands, each offering one specially designed polish for that month's theme. Shipping is a flat $3 no matter how many you order. It's a pre-order type of deal, so it takes around 3 weeks for stuff to ship out once the shop closes, but it's a great way to check out lots of brands all at one time without going overboard with lots of different shipping fees (or crazy large orders to avoid the shipping fee from a particular brand). I ordered 2 this month, and got notice yesterday that they've shipped...can't wait to get them, and I think I may start placing a small order most every month just to be able to sample more brands ❤️

Thank you @RGbrown!! At some point the number of polishes in the cart will go down. Eventually. 😆 That polishpickup site sounds fantastic! 💅🏼 The pre-order sounds fun - I’ll completely forget I ordered them and will be surprised when they arrive. Love it! ♥️

BeautylishUlta - this is what I'll be working on this weekend!

Ulta - a couple of Bakuchiol products. UD is from Sephora sale.

Sephora - I wasn't looking for more lipsticks, but the cases ... they're just so pretty!

[tsavorite]

@itsfi ,

Your Jill Stuart eyeshadow is so darn cute!  Now I want one!

[Loretta55]

I talked myself out of buying those lipsticks @itsfi. I am interested in your thoughts on the Boscia lip product.

[itsfi]

You have much better will power than I @Loretta55! 😆 I plan on using the Bakuchiol lip care all this week. Will let you know how it goes.

[Loretta55]

Trust me I can be easily swayed @itsfi. 

[itsfi]

Hahaha @Loretta55! 😂 You’re in good company here on BIC! 😉 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oooh, that YSL packaging is SO pretty! I don't need any more lipstick either, but I'm with you, the prettiness is worth it!

I keep hearing good things about Bioderma! I reeeally need to make that a part of my next order!

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I passed on a YSL set with a pretty case during the holidays and by the time I decided to pick it up, it had sold out. Lesson learned this time. Haha! 😆 My list of  no / low buys now includes categories - not surprisingly, sheet masks and lipsticks top the chart! Lol! 😂 

[haleyvvvv]

Oh wow, such haul goodness, @itsfi!! I'm so intrigued about good molecules. I hope you're bakuchiol search yields a good herbivore alternative. Enjoy your goodies!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @haleyvvvv! 😃 I’ve heard good things about Good Molecules and the toner looked like a good one to try. 

[lnum]

@itsfi That toner! I’m looking for something gentler to use when I go back to doing my laser treatments. 🤔

[itsfi]

I’ll let you know how it works out @lnum. What toner are you currently using?

[lnum]

@itsfi The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner 3.4 oz/ 100 mL at night 3x a week. 

When I do laser I can’t use any acids and probably no vitamin c either the week before and the week after. I usually just skip the toner step all together for the two weeks and my skin does fine. I have a DS of belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner with Hyaluronic Acid 6.75 oz/ 200 mL I was saving for when I start my treatments again. 

[tastelikewater]

@itsfi The YSL set looks absolutely divine! I'd have trouble throwing away that box on the right. 

[itsfi]

@tastelikewater, the entire packaging, the lipstick cases, the box, are all so nice. 💕

[keana1]

Lovely haul @itsfi ! The YSL lipsticks are gorgeous! Can you tag me if you post your nail designs, I’m curious to see how stamping turns out ( I was considering purchasing a stamping kit ) ? Have fun this weekend ! 💄💋❤️

[itsfi]

Thank you @keana1! 🤗 I may need to call a “time out” on lippie purchases for a bit. 😆 I’ll tag you on my post; I’m interested to see how this turns out as well. 😉 💅🏼

[l8totheparty]

Pretty cases!
