P-Co Beauty Diary

I didn't receive any  Boots No7 Beautiful Skin  products in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox  (some people did), but I went out and purchase the Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanse at Ulta. This cleanser has witch hazel to help clean away shine. I have been using this cleanser for about to weeks and I think it is an amazing morning cleanser. It is a very gentle foaming cleanser and I like that it is tailored to normal/oily skin. So far so good I will keep you updated when I finish this whole bottle if I will repurchase.

So it's that time of year again where we shop til we drop on gifts for our love ones(and our self too). I picked  up quite a bit this weekend, and I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Here are a few things I purchased for myself: I took advantage of the Sephora Black Friday 10 dollar deal and purchased Buxom In the Spotlight Set and Purity Made Simple  Photos Courtesy of Sephora   I also too advantage of the  Little Black Bag  Cyber Monday Deal and the  Ojon  BOGO deal with free shipping. I am trying  to keep the shopping for myself in check but couldn't pass up theses deals. What did you buy this weekend?

Here is what I used up Ulta Beauty Smoothie in Cinnamon Swirl-  This smells great I would repurchase again  Urban Decay Supercurl Mascara-  I got this in my Book Of Shadows IV and I like it. I like spiky mascara wands, don't know if I would repurchase it because for $20 I might as well pick up my tarte mascara(my fave) Perricone MD High Potency Eye Lift- I got this in my  QVC New Beauty Test Tube  and this was too small of a sample to notice a difference but the consistency was a bit too thin for me. RAW Skincare Ambiaty Eye Treatment-  This took forever to finish and I didn't notice any change around my eyes, would not repurchase this  EOS Hand Cream in Berry Blossom-  I have bought several of these EOS hand creams and will buy more  Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque-  I think that this mask does a great job of reducing my blemishes I would repurchase Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding-  I have mixed feeling about this product because I

I am thankful for you! For everyone who reads and follows my blog thank you so much!

Here is a quick video if my nail polish collection

This week I finished up Pure Matters Biotin-  I like these and I think they work and have already repurchased Vasanti Brighten Up Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator-  I got this is in a  Birchbox  and I really love it and I will repurchase  Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash- I really like this but it might be too drying in the winter will repurchase in the spring/summer  Philosophy Love Sweet Love Shower Gel-  I think I got this in a TestTube and I love the smell of it I might repurchase this  Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Cooling Foot Scrub-  I don't like this and I had to force myself to use it I would not repurchase  Blue Copper 5 Firming Elasticity Repair-  I only used this on my neck and didn't notice a difference, but I am only in my 20's so I wouldn't repurchase Organix Moroccan Argan Oil-  I didn't feel like this oil did anything but sit on top of my hair would not repurchase 

Inside was -Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire -the Balm Matte eyeshadow in Matt Batali -bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil -Starlet Cosmetics eyeliner in all I want is peace, love & chocolate -benefit They're Real Mascara

I received the  Kiss  Ever Pro Lash Starter Kit free in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox  to try. I normally don't wear false lashes because they can be a little tricky for me to put on, but this kit comes with an applicator to help you get close to your lash line.  Here is a picture of me with the lashes on

I was sent Goody  Simple Styles Spin Pins in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox  free for me to try. I already own several of these spin pins and I love them for putting my hair up. You can find these pins at Ulta or your local drugstore and they make it easy to put your hair up in a messy bun. They claim to do the work of 20 bobby pins and I like them because they don't snag my hair like bobby pins can. They also come in different colors to match your hair. Here is a picture of half my hair pinned in a bun so you can see how the spin pin would be in your hair.

I received the  Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream  free in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger  and I wanted to wait till I straighten my hair to give it a try. I used this cream in damp hair and allowed my hair to air dry overnight in braids. In the morning I flat ironed my hair and my hair was soft and smooth. This product retails for $6 at CVS, Walmart, and Ulta. I would defiantly repurchase it and I am going to look for the Kinky Moves Curling Cream when I go Ulta.  Here is a photo 3 days after I flat ironed my hair and you can see that the Smooth Moves Cream is doing a great job at controlling the frizz 

Here is what I finished up this week TRESemme Touchable Softness Conditioner-  TRESemme conditioners are my favorite drugstore conditioners  Heel to Toe Feels Like New Foot Softener - I don't think I would purchase this agian because it smells like hair grease and doesn't really work  Shea Terra Organics Premium Dark Chocolate Scrub-  I got this in a  Beauty Army  Kit and I love it. It smells yummy and doesn't leave a oily residue on my skin like other body scrubs do. WEN by Chaz Dean in Pomegranate-  I got this small one in my QVC New Beauty TestTube  but you can click  HERE  see my review on WEN Julep Age Defying Hand Brightener- I really like this hand lotion however I only would repurchase it if it came with other Julep products, because it's an expensive had cream. Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Triple Acton Toner-  I have repurchased this several times it my favorite toner 

Because I am moving and delayed shipping by Birchbox  (I know it's not their fault) I wont see my November Birchbox  till December so I wanted to just post what I will be getting according to  birchbox.com -Masqueology Revitalizing Eye Mask, 7D Moisture Creme, and Masque Cleanse  -MCMC Fragrance Phoenix Eau De Parfum -Kiehl's Creme de Corps  -Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer

Inside I ended up with  -Sugafina Heavenly Sours -LAVANILA Healthy Candle in Vanilla Grapefruit -Guess Leopard  Horn Necklace  -Pureology Colour Stylist Supreme Control Hair Spray  This was my first $29.95  Little Black Bag  I don't remember the total retail value of my bag but the necklace retails for $32  Here is my video unboxing 

I received the  NYC New York Color  Individual Eyes Custom Compact free to try in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox . There are a few different variations of these pallets, but each one comes with four eye shadows, a primer, and an illuminator. I received the Dark Shadows, compact and it is perfect for a night out look. The  NYC New York Color  Individual Eyes Custom Compact retails for $4.99 at most drugstores. The eye shadows are good for the price and I am actually thinking about picking up the Union Square one. Here are swatches: 

I received this mini  Bath & Body Works  candle free in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox  for me to try along with a coupon to get $10 off another candle. I loved the way that this one smelled so I picked up another one along with a few others including Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut, Frosted Cup Cake and Toffee Crunch. I love candles during fall and winter so I chose the 3 wick candles but you can also buy mini ones in  Bath & Body Works  for $3.50 to make any room smell great. Comment below if you want be to do a post on my latest  Bath & Body Works  haul.

This month they finally introduced the suedes. I picked the classic with a twist box and inside was -2 Julep polishes in Brit and Minka -Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting  and I picked 2 add-ons  -Matte top coat and Hailee  Brit (graphite suede) and Minka (copper suede) Matte Top Coat and Hailee (khaki green suede)  This is one of my favorite Julep Maven Boxes  this year

Here is what I finished up this week  Korres Body Butter in Guava-  I don't care for this body butter. I find that it leaves my skin greasy and it doesn't smell like Guava. LAVANILA Pure Vanilla Fragrance-  I absolutely love the smell of this (my hubby does too) and will be purchasing a full size once I use up my fragrance stock pile. E.L.F. Setting Spray-  I actually use this to wet my brush to apply eye shadow as liner. I don't use it as an setting spray it smells funny and I like Urban Decay DeSlick better. Melvita Floral Water-  I got this in my June Birchbox  and had to force myself to use it. It smells like roses but I have no real use for it in my life. BeautyMint Replenishing Moisturizer-  Click  HERE  to read my BeautyMint review Julep   Facial For Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub- I really like this hand scrub and have repurchased it a few times before. I got this small size in a mystery box.
