Mall Haul



I'm having a fantastic Friday and I hope you all are too! After a terribly long week for the both of us, my mom decided we should take a trip to the mall. I was really trying to not spend a ton of money as I'm saving up for some big ticket items, but what the heck, I had some coupons.

Sephora:


I really wanted to go here so I could swatch some things (which by the way, Nars blush in Exhibit A is on the top of my wish list) and ended up walking out with just one item, which is a huge accomplishment for me!
The Clinique Black Honey Glow Set was originally on my to-check-out list, but when I did, I decided the only product I would actually be interested in is the lipstick. The blush is way too sheer, the gloss is sticky, and the entire set is way smaller than I imagined. Though you can still buy this here for a limited time only, I went ahead and just got the lipstick, (I owe a thanks to MakeupSparkle's post, she's how I found out about this product). I will do a full review on this later!
Price: $14.50

Bath & Body Works:


I honestly went in here with a list of only things I needed, but that went out the window when they didn't have 2 of the 3 things, so I just went around enjoying the last of the clearance bins!


-Pearberry Body Splash
I planned on just getting this, the Country Apple, and Sun-Ripened Raspberry one, but apparently everyone has been gobbling these up. But that's okay, I love this fruity scent and it goes with the Pearberry lotion I bought in a previous haul.
Price: $3.00
-Fresh Market Apple Handibac Hand Spray
This is absolutely my favorite hand sanitizer smell, and I think it just looks a little bit chic-er than the Pocketbacs. I wish I had picked up more of these, and some in particular for my brother, who's a germ freak.
Price: $1.00









-Butterfly Flower Travel Sized Lotion
Before we headed to the mall I checked online to see if there was any good coupons for Bath & Body Works going around, and I found this one that's good for another couple of weeks. It gives you a free signature collection travel sized body lotion, which I think is a great deal! I picked Butterfly Flower because I plan on using this as my signature spring scent, so why not start stocking up on it now?
Price: Free




-Mint Chocolate Home Fragrance Oil
From previous posts you should know how obsessed I am with this scent by now! It's perfect for winter, the smell just makes you want to curl up in a blanket in front of a fire. I got this for my room instead of another candle to insure I won't be burning down the house anytime soon; I tend to forget things are burning so not a good idea!
Price: $1.50




-Scentbug
Of course I needed a little Scentbug to go along with the oil, so I just got one from the 75% off bins and it's a metallic blue color (it was that or pink, ick). I really wanted the wood print Scentbug, but that one was full price so I'll just get that one in the summer time, since it is pretty jungle-esque. I must say these things are really easy/fun to use, I wish I had gotten one earlier.
Price: $4.50

  3. @Venus In Virgo Thanks! You should get one now while they're 75% off, otherwise I don't think I'd pay $14.50 for one! Don't worry, I'll definitely be following your blog :)

    @MakeupSparkle I didn't actually end up getting the set, just the lipstick! I love it so much, I'm addicted as well!

  6. @MakeupSparkle Yeah I wasn't going to use anything except the lipstick, so that's just what I got!

    @Diary of a Short Girl Definitely get one! I have a pretty large room and it fills it in with a scent in about 5 minutes. I know, I love the wood one too! I'm planning on getting it in the summer time, along with some nice fruity scents!
