Fun Weekend Makeup & Beauty Haul | Garnier, Wet N Wild, Essence, Infusium 23



I feel like I haven't purchased some new beauty products in a while. This weekend while out running errands I came across a few beauty products that were new to me, they were all pretty affordable so I thought I'd give them a go.

I'm so excited to test all these products out! I plan on reviewing most, if not all of these, so stay tuned for upcoming reviews.

Essence Blush in Satin Love

The first item that I purchased is Essence's new Satin Touch Blush in Satin Love. It was the only colour left at the Shoppers Drug Mart I was shopping at. It appears to be a beautiful everyday shade that will go with any look. I've never tried this formula by Essence, but I've tried their Silky Touch blushes, which I own many of, and they are some of my favourite blushes. Essence is a Cruelty-free brand. This blush was only $3.99

Garnier Moisture Bomb Mask Sheet Mask

The next item that I picked up during my Shoppers Drug Mart trip is this Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb "The Super Hydrating Sheet Mask." This also states that it's new, and it was the last one left in the store. It was on sale for only $2.99. Love that they call it a "Moisture Bomb" mask, we'll see about that. I can wait to try this! Update: Full review linked here!

Infusium 23 Dry Shampoo

I also found this Infusium 23 Color Defender Dry Shampoo at Shoppers Drug Mart. It was on sale for $3 and it was also the last one left. I used to use Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner all the time and I really liked it. I'm really excited to try another Infusium 23 product and see how it compares to my DIY dry shampoo (made from cornstarch).

Wet N Wild Nude Awakening Eyeshadow Palette

I had to stop at Walmart as well, I love to check out their beauty aisles and see what's new. I was happy to see that they had some new Wet n Wild products, including this Au Naturel eyeshadow palette in Nude Awakenings #754A. I haven't read any reviews on this product, so I'm hoping for the best. It has a lot of pink shades and it looks like it has several matte shades too. The other aspect that sold me is that there are a lot of light colours in this palette, as that's what I wear mostly these days. Wet n Wild is also #crueltyfree This palette was $7.50

Ion Leave-in Conditioner

My last stop was Sally's Beauty Supply. I picked up this Ion Styling Solutions Leave-in Conditioner. This 3oz size was around $4.00. I've tried other products by the Ion brand and remember being happy with them. I use a leave-in conditioner every time I wash my hair since it's so dry and damaged. I appreciate this trial size so I don't have to make a big commitment to see whether or not it works for me. This product is 100% Vegan!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed seeing my new beauty buys!

Have a great week ahead!

  3. Love the shade of the blush!
    Didn't know Garnier had face masks, will definitely search for it :)
    That palette looks beautiful, how's the pigment? I've always wanted to try Wet N Wild's eyeshadows.

    1. The face mask is a win! Initially I was really disappointed with the WNW palette. Now I'm using it all the time for simple eye looks. Although the shadows aren't the best quality- crumbly, fallout etc. The dark colours are really pigmented, not so much for the lighter colours. I tap off my brush and I'm actually enjoying the palette, especially for the price.

    1. haha.. I know, I feel so cheap sometimes. I like to think I'm frugal. I was disappointed in the eyeshadow palette at first, but since I've been using everyday to test it out, I'm really enjoying it! xoxo
