HAUL! Bath & Body Works, Ulta & Target

Hey guys! So unfortunately I have another haul for you today. I know, I know, I'm so bad with shopping. My new years resolution is to not buy anything beauty related for three months. I say new years resolution because I know the rest of this year I won't be good, so January 1st is a good start. Anyways, lets get into the haul!

First I went to Bath & Body Works last week because their 3 wick candles were 2 for $20. They seem to have that sale fairly often because I bought two others back in October for the same deal. Anyways, I know I've said how much I loved my Hot Buttered Rum candle so of course I had to buy another one. I was smelling all the other ones they have and the Pineapple Mango jumped out at me. I didn't notice this scent when I was there last time so I'm not sure if it's a holiday scent or if I'm just blind. This candle smells so good! It reminds me of a nice fruity summer drink which is kinda odd considering it's getting to be winter. Here's the description of the scent on the bottom of the jar: "Luscious tree-ripening mango and sweet tropical pineapple are complimented by crisp lotus and a hint of warm vanilla." I don't smell any hint of vanilla to be honest, but I absolutely love the pineapple smell so this will be a nice candle to burn when it's freezing to remind me of summer!

Then just a couple days ago I went to Ulta because I had one of those coupons for $3.50 off a $10 purchase. Also, sorry for the horrible pictures. Not sure what's up with my camera. But I finally found the EOS lip balms in the Alice in Wonderland edition! I was so excited when I saw this and it was only $7.99, which I think is a pretty nice deal, especially since I had a coupon. Then I bought a China Glaze nail polish in the color Cast A Spell. This was on clearance for $4.99 and the color is so pretty. It's hard to see in the picture but it's this pretty dark, mossy green color with gold and dark green flecks of shimmer in it. I've never owned anything from China Glaze so I'm excited to see how their polishes are and if I like this one, I'll definitely pick up more!



The same day after Ulta I went to Target because I'm still having issues with finding the limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoos. Seriously, I've looked everywhere and can't find them at all. Please help! Anyways, with no luck (still) in finding the color tattoos I wandered around the other cosmetics, skincare and haircare products seeing what I could find. I've also never tried any Aussie products and these were 2 for $5 which I thought was a good deal so I picked up the 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner to possibly help with any extra dryness my hair has in the winter. I've also heard a bunch of good things about this so I have high hopes. I also picked up the Split-end Protector because I can tell now that I need a haircut, but I don't really feel like spending the money so I'm hoping this product will help to at least keep my split ends smooth and less noticeable. 

Well that's everything! I don't think this was a very bad haul. I didn't spend a whole lot of money and I'm really trying to be good about that, so hopefully you won't be seeing too many more hauls from me for a while ;)

any good products you've bought recently?

    1. I really like the candles, surprisingly. I'm so sensitive to scents that I have to be careful what I buy because of allergies but these don't irritate me! Haven't tried the Aussie product but I'm excited to try it!

    1. I'm surprised it's cheaper at Ulta than Walgreens. Ulta is very hit or miss with me. Alot of times I think their stuff is overpriced, even for drugstore, other times I feel like I hit the deal of the century!
