June Hauls & Spending Recap

Not quite the end of June yet, but I made a video this month for my beauty hauls. I think I went a bit above budget, BUT it was my birthday month, and that's what I'll keep telling myself even though I also bought myself clothes and accessories this month...! Anyway, here goes!

I cringe at how many products I purchased only this week - everything noted after the Revlon cream blush... And now that I've added up the total I spent after gift cards, coupons, etc, I am still cringing. I'll just keep telling myself that it was my birthday and I'm getting living expenses paid for by work so I'm sort of coming out ahead... Right? Grand Total: $163.67

How did you do this month with your beauty spending? I'd love to hear!

Makeup I Brought With Me...!

I was finally able to get both videos together to show you guys all of the products that I've brought with me. (Some of you may know that I came out to California at the end of May for work for 5 weeks) I feel the need to warn you - the thought process behind choosing products to bring this time around was not to be efficient or minimal. I packed all of the products I thought I'd use or want to show on the blog, as well as ones I thought just didn't deserve to be left at home! (LOL) I think the thought of being gone for a month+ made me think that I wanted everything to be as much like home as possible...! Now that the trip has been extended till late July, I'm glad I decided on things this way!

SO, here are the two videos. I broke them up into two because I was a) concerned about uploading with the terrible hotel internet and b) afraid that my camera battery would run out before it was mailed to me from home!

The first one contains some of the carry-on type products, a few nail polishes, and cheek & lip products. The second video mostly features brushes and eye products. I feel overwhelmed by the idea of listing all the products at the moment, so please ask if you have questions.

Hope you like them! Please let me know what you think! :)

As you may know, I am away from home for 5 weeks. It was tough to decide what makeup to bring, and in the end, I brought a large portion of my collection! (Ooops!) I also say "I also brought..." quite a lot in this video, so bare with me.

Part 2 of the make-up I packed for my traveling for work.

Review: Ole Henriksen Nurture Me Cream

In my last post, I showed you my current skincare products, one of which is this awesome cream from Ole Henriksen.

I've been a fan of Ole Henriksen since I discovered the Sugar Glow scrub, which smells delicious and is an effective and gentle exfoliator. Every time I drag my boyfriend into Sephora, we like to sample Ole Henriksen products, and my need for this Nurture Me cream came out of one of those excursions!

I've never been a fan of pots as packaging for creams (it always seems to get under your nails when you stick your finger in!) but at least this pot design is quite sturdy and feels nice. I love the smell, which was initially what excited me about this product. I'm not brilliant at describing scent, but to me it is a bit like orange creamsicle! I also enjoy the light, whipped texture of the cream - it looks like a whipped yogurt in the jar, and it feels quite smooth and comforting going onto my skin.

On the label, it mentions sensitive skin and rosacea, and I thought this might be good for a more even complexion. Here's what Sephora says about it:

What it is formulated to do: This intensively hydrating formula melts into the skin, erasing the discomfort of a taut, dry complexion. Nature's most precious oils, such as wheat germ and primrose, recondition skin back to a more youthful suppleness, while rose mosquette oil repairs. Dimethicone, a silicone fluid, adds smoothness while vitamins A, C, and K infuse strength and vitality.

Let me just say, I love this cream. Initially, it really helped my dehydrated skin retain moisture, and it minimized the redness on my cheeks while not feeling heavy. (While I love Clinique Redness Solutions for making my skin even, it is quite heavy to me and I don't feel like using it except in the coldest winter weather...) The first few days I used Nurture Me, my skin was noticeably more even when I woke up in the morning. And the tightness I experienced in some areas went away!

So, at least for the moment, I love this cream. I don't know how I would feel about it in humid, hot temperatures, but I do think it is great for my skin and potentially wonderful year round! There are a number of other Ole Henriksen products I'd like to try as well. Have you tried Ole Henriksen? What are your favorites?

My Skincare Routine

So I finally managed to figure out a setup here at my hotel and film a video about what products are in my skincare routine right now. Let me just tell you... it was not easy to upload even a 5 minute video here with the terrible connectivity at this hotel.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video, and I will definitely be posting more videos (since the lighting is apparently quite nice!) Hope you like it!

Here's my skincare routine - for some reason, the camera stays focused on my face, so I'm sorry for that! Wearing: No makeup, top by Free people Please visit my blog bronzerbunny.com for more of my beauty adventures!

Do you use any of these products or have any recommendations for me to try? I'd love to hear what you think! 

*Update 6/25* I did end up returning both Origins products yesterday. While nice, I didn't find them to be amazing, and in these cases, I'd rather spend the money on other products! The mask felt nice on, but didn't do much to improve my skin overall (no apparent results) and the moisturizer was good but again not amazing. I am happy with the Ole Henriksen cream and figure I can try some La Roche Posay Anthelios or put on regular sunscreen. I'm also sampling some other masks so hopefully I find something great!
