Collective Haul + First Impressions!

Running out of everything all at the same time really sucks. Mostly because I have to spend so much money in one shot and I hate saying goodbye to money :(. Some of the items that I picked up were repurchases and others are brand spankin new!

Lets see the goodies that I picked up over the last month and a half...


Weleda Skin Food - Repurchase! It's in my bag as we speak and making my skin softer one use at a time.

Adama ClayDry Deodorant - This is a new purchase that I'm actually returning because it makes my underarms so damn dry and itchy that I literally scratched them till they bled. Sexy? I think so. It smells so fruity and delicious though, hurts my heart to part ways.

Oneka Balancing Shampoo - Also a new purchase. It's a Canadian company, Vegan and smells like citrus. I have been enjoying it so far.

Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo - Repurchase! I love the smell and feel of this shampoo. It gives my hair a deep clean and works like a dream to remove oil treatments from my hair.


Camocare Organics Instant Radiance AHA Lifing Peel - This is a new purchase for me. I actually had the Devita glycolic blend in my hand and got intrigued by the price and promise of this "peel". So far it's alright. I only use it a couple of times a week, any more than that and my skin starts flaking like flaky pastry.

Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel Toner - repurchase! Love this stuff. Good value for money and works so well.

Castor Oil - I purchased this to add to my makeup removing oil, which I made myself. I heard it's great for acne and figured it couldn't hurt to try out. No thoughts on it yet.

Yes to Cucumber Makeup Removing Wipes - I hate wipes but I bought these because I really desperately wanted to remove my makeup at my boyfriend's house. The thought process behind this purchase was that I can keep it in my purse for future desperate situations. It does a good job of removing my makeup but it burns a little.

Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balm in Poetic Pomegranate - I'm obsessed! It's sort of sweet and looks pretty on my bed side table. Not much else I can say.


Real Techniques Core Collection Set - I had just washed my brushes and honestly didn't want to put them back in the box, sorry *slaps hand*. I nearly jumped for joy when I saw that my Walmart (in Canada) now carries some of these brushes. I'm loving these! I should really do a review about them.

Pukka Green Tea and Chamomile & Vanilla Tea - I friggen love Pukka tea, it has replaced my love for Yogi. It just tastes so delicious and it better for how expensive it is. Oh! And my boyfriend, who only drinks special loose leaf tea and never wants to try any of my teas because he's so fancy or something, even likes their green tea! He's a tea diva, don't ask.

No more hauls for another few months, hopefully you enjoyed this one. Also, if you've ever tried any of the above products let me know. I'm super curious about whether or not anyone has specifically tried or heard of Camocare Organics.

xo!
