Yet Another Summer Haul

Hello lovelies! For some odd reason I was under the impression blogging in the summer would be easier but wow these last few weeks have proven me wrong there. But I am so happy and thankful for you all. The blog has no had over 1,000 views!! Wow, thank you! I can't believe it. (: 

Why is it that in the summer girls just go shopping, then go shopping again, and again? I've been shopping so many times this summer with friends. On my most recent trip I said I wasn't going to buy anything but ended up with a few beauty purchases that I have been wanting to make for quite sometime and other classics I needed to refill the stock I had at home. 

This is a pore minimizing cream that is put on under make-up to make your daily look even more clear. I've been eyeing this product for probably 4 months. I am very skeptical about any make-up claiming they can minimize pores and cover up any imperfections. When I found the mini-sized product I was elated to finally be able to try it without spending a large chunk of money on something which might not even work. The woman working the register then asked me if I had used the cream before and when I said no she began to go on and on about how great it was, and I do have to admit her skin looked great. So, I was excited to go home and try it. I can 100% agree with the cashiers words, the cream is amazing and does everything it brags to do and more. If you haven't found a good pore cream for you yet, go check this one out.
If you have been following my blog for a while you most likely already know of my love affair with this product; brought together by chance but fell in love by fate. This is one mascara that I can always go to and not worry about it clumping on my lashes or not bringing them to their full potential. I absolutely love it, if you hadn't picked up on that yet ;) I bought the smaller one  because it lasted forever last time I got it and I use a cheap water proof mascara almost everyday of the summer since I am always at the pool. But, this mascara is perfect for getting the total full lashes look.
I am not a bath person by any means but after watching countless videos from my favorite British YouTubers I had to give Lush a try. We don't have an actual lush store near me but they do have a counter at Macy's. I went with my friends and they did an example presentation using this bath bomb and wow was I surely pleasantly surprised. It felt like satin and smelled so delicious. I had to buy one. In case you don't know, hot baths soothe menstrual cramps like magic (this is a girl's guide) so pair that with this amazing bath bomb and your time of the month is not nearly as miserable as usual (: I am going back to get a lot more of these to have on hand because they have officially converted me to a bath lover. 
I didn't want to walk out with just on bath bomb so I bought this one also. It smells like a nice spring day full of flowers and sunshine so I couldn't resist. I have yet to try it though.  I will update this once I have tried it with a review.
 5 and 6. Bath & Body Works Body Wash Forever Sunshine and Coconut Water Chill
There was a giant sale going on for discontinued products at Bath & Body Works so I got these before they go away forever. I love Forever Sunshine. It is a sweet flowery scent but it is not overpowering. I love to use it when I don't want something super strong smelling on my skin. I have never used the coconut water chill body was before but it smelled delicious and was $3 so I said why not. I love it.
7. Bath & Body Works Tiki Beach Candle
8. Bath & Body Works Oceanside Candle
9. Bath & Body Works Rainforest Sugarcane Candle
I don't know how to review candles because I feel like you just have to go smell them for yourself. People have so many varying opinions on what smells good and what doesn't. I like these personally. I am all into summer scents and these really capture summer to me. 

Well, that's it for this week (: I am not going to promise anything more this week just because I don't know how crazy it may get. I did film a little vlog footage over the weekend but finding time to edit is another story. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! 
THANK YOU
XOXO
Gretchen
