01. Soap and Glory Hand Food– I’ve been out of hand cream for about a month, but I was using a sample in the meantime. Since I made a couple trips to Sephora while my sister was here, I figured I better restock this favorite of mine.
02. NARS Audacious Lipstick in Charlotte– I was on the hunt for some new fall lip colors and I swatched several of them when I was in the store. Originally I was drawn to the Bite Beauty Matte Cream Lip Crayon in Brandy. I liked it when I swatched it on the back of my hand, but not so much when I actually put it on my lips. I did fall in love with this new NARS lipstick though. The color is absolutely perfect for fall and the formula is deliciously creamy. Also, the packaging is super sleek and I love the magnetic closure. I really hesitated about paying $32 for a lipstick (this is the most expensive one I’ve bought so far!), but in the end I decided to put back a couple of the other things I was going to get and treat myself to this lipstick instead. I haven’t worn it out yet, so I’ll report back when I know how it wears throughout the day.
03. Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Rollerball– I haven’t bought a perfume in ages. I had so many samples stocked up, so I was just going through those. Now I’ve used up all the samples I actually like, so I wanted to get a new scent without splurging on a full bottle. I’ve been eyeing this perfume for a few months now and every time I went into Sephora I would smell both the white and the black version. I wasn’t sure which one I liked better, but my sister preferred the white version on me. I busted it out earlier this week and every time I caught a whiff of the scent, I was quite pleased. I like the rollerball aspect too- it makes it easy to tote around if I want to reapply it later in the day.

LOVe the picture of your products. The Elizabeth and James is my new FAVORITE perfume. I was running low on my perfumes so and decided to pop into Sephora a couple of weeks ago. After going through and testing a bunch the Elizabeth & James White was the one! It has that perfect musk and floral scent. I the soap and glory foot cream. It totally works wonders esp since I work out a lot.

Thanks Heather! I love the E&J perfume, I’m wearing it right now :) I thought it was such a funny coincidence that we both bought it on the same day (great minds!). I’ve never tried the Soap & Glory food cream, but if it’s as nice as the Hand Food, then I need to.
I picked up Charlotte recently too and am obsessed! My new favorite shade for fall. I also have that rollerball, it’s so nice! Sephora does have 100 pt perks of the black one online, if you’d like to scoop that one up for mixing/wearing alone! I couldn’t decide either, and that’s what I wound up doing. Enjoy your new products!
Charlotte is so pretty! I really love some of the other colors as well, so I may get another eventually (eek!). Ahh, that’s good to know about the Sephora perk- thanks for telling me!
I am obsessed with Nars lipsticks, seriously, they are awesome!
This is my first one and now I know what I was missing out on!
I think I remember you talking about the Soap and Glory Hand Food and I have always wanted to try it! Their packaging is so cute too!
Yes, I did a beauty fave post about the hand food before :) Their packaging is adorable! I want to try some of their other products as well.
I love Soap and Glory Hand Food too. And I have been all about rollerball perfumes lately. My skin has been acting crazy so I have been restraining from using any new products lately but I did recently stock up on several nail polishes for fall.
I’m loving the rollerball. It’s the perfect size to carry around. Ooo, which nail polishes did you get?
Deborah Lippmann Pretty Vacant and NARS in both Seize the Night and Ecume. Now I’m really wanting a pretty nude shade.
All of those colors are so nice. I love the pictures of Seize the Night that I saw online!
Last product I bought was a blue eyeliner from Avon… yeah really classy :)
I bought a navy eyeliner recently and I really like it! I’m so used to black, that the navy felt like a big change :)
The last thing I bought was Neutragena night cream as I was looking for a nice moisturing one – this one is actually quite good and the smell isn’t off putting like some creams :)
That sounds nice :) I’m picky about scents because certain ones really irritate my allergies!
nice purchase! hand food rules!

Thanks Jessica! I’m a big fan of the E&J scents (I like the black one too!).
