etleé French Vanilla Intense

Happy August Beauty Bag Doll's! I hope your summer has been beautiful to all of you! My summer has been nonstop busy, which is why my posts here have been few and far between. I have been traveling nonstop since late May for work, brand trips and personal travel. In fact as I type this blog I am staring at my repacked suitcase that was just unpacked yesterday because I am heading out shortly. Although life is busy I do update my Instagram and TikTok constantly with my latest must haves and about my traveling. Since you all have direct messaged me about how much you love my non beauty posts I am including more of those as well. Thanks again for always sticking with me and supporting my blog and other social media channels if I'm ever MIA on here just check TikTok and Instagram for updates. 

Now back to Beauty Blogger business. I recently received a perfume from Ivybeauty.com and it is an amazing opportunity for me and you. This brand deal really is awesome. If you have followed me for a while you know I love fine fragrances but they are pricey. I have spoiled myself over the years with expensive perfumes and honestly I still do from time to time. However, the more affordable fragrances have really stepped up their game including Ivybeauty' s etleé French Vanilla Intense. This smells so amazing and pretty much exactly like my favorite Kayali Vanilla 28. I wrote my review for Ivybeauty and it is below:

I am loving this perfume. It is a warm, sweet vanilla bean scent that has a musk too it. It also has a floral finish that when it dries down on you it will make you get noticed. I have worn this on several occasions and received multiple compliments every single time. It lasts for hours on your skin and no more than three spritz are needed. I am a gourmand scent lover and this one is top shelf on my vanity. Bottle line it's warm and inviting as well as affordable I will be continuing to recommend this to everyone.

This smells devine!

Ilia Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 w/ 8 Hour Oil Control

Happy Monday Beauty Bag Doll's! I am back with another Beauty launch from Ilia! I adore this brand because they get it right! The just launched the Ilia Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with 8 Hour Oil Control. I have had the privilege of trying this out thanks to PINCHme and Ilia Beauty for sending it out to me to try out for a few weeks before leaving my review for both Ilia and Sephora. It retails for $ 40.00 and is clean at Sephora. 

Very lightweight and absorbs beautiful tint.

Grab this ASAP it's the best sunscreen that is actually a serum!

My review is below:

Ilia made the perfect sunscreen. As an oily skin woman finding a sunscreen that doesn't look and feel greasy is difficult until now. The serum texture that this has is lightweight and absorbs into my skin like skincare. The tint is beautiful and this leaves no whitecast. It can be worn alone because of the beautiful glow it leaves or under makeup. I am in awe with this formula and the performance. Ilia you have made sunscreen a dream. 

The perfect sunscreen all year round.

This is a beauty Bag must haves and another product I will always  repurchase from Ilia.

Ilia Skin Blur Serum Concealer & Super Serum Skin Tint

Beauty Bag Doll's I have a double feature for you today. I have been testing several products over the past 6 weeks and these two from Ilia were included. This is part of the reason why my posts for all of you have been on the slower side. I am lucky enough to receive products before they are released to the public and I have to keep them a secret all while testing them out for several weeks to give you, my Beauty Bag Doll's a real honest review. Today I have a full review of the new launch of the Ilia Skin Blur Serum Concealer and a review of a new to me Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen. I was blessed to receive these both for free from PINCHme and Ilia in exchange for my honest review. 

A pair that is made for one another and my skin loves it.

Ilia dropped a new concealer and I am beyond impressed and I am a fan of the previous formula so I was taken aback when they decided to release the Skin Blur Serum Concealer. This is sold at Sephora, it is $32.00 and is packed with good for you ingredients.

I didn't think I could love a long wear concealer this much!

My experience with this Ilia concealer is nothing but positive. I have not stopped wearing it since it arrived. The formula is hydrating yet it self sets. It is all skin type friendly. Even my combination acne prone skin is happy. It covers my dark circles and any imperfections that I have. It does not crease which to me is worth it weight in gold. I do not have the crease lines in my around my eyes after 8 plus hours of wear. The applicator is worth noting because the shape get in the corner of your eyes. I also want to mention this feels more like skincare than a heavy concealer yet it is a medium coverage. There is no smell to this formula and your skin will love it.

Along with trying the brand nee Ilia concealer I got to try the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen. I am an avid user of the Ilia Foundation and I have been using it since 2022 read that review here. However when given the opportunity to try the Super Serum Skin Tint I said yes sign me up. This is again packed with skincare ingredients like plant based squalane and niacinamide to promote smooth and even skin. Two sizes of hyaluronic acid to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. All while being oil free, fragrance free and silicone free. I am all for this formula as well as SPF 40. This is also available at Sephora for  $48.00. Read on for my review.

This is a beautiful skincare formula for skin tint coverage!

This truly the best of both worlds. I don't know how Ilia did it but they packed skincare and a beautiful lightweight buildable medium coverage in a hydrating skin tint. I use this every single day. The coverage is beautiful and it blends perfectly with just your fingers. It is a dewy formula that gives your skin that beautiful glow and I am beyond happy. This is the best skin tint I have ever used the added SPF makes it even better along with antiaging skincare makes this a slam dunk. I am only going to purchasing this skin tint from here on out. Pair it with the Ilia concealer and you will get full coverage for the full beat baddie. 

These are both beauty Bag must haves and two more products I will always  repurchase from Ilia.

Natasha Denona Hy•Glam Brightener

Beauty Bag Doll's it's good to be back! I have been gone for a minute but I have been keeping a Natasha Denona launch from all of you. I was lucky enough to try the Hy•Glam Brightener for a few weeks before it's official Sephora launch and I fell in love with it after the first use. I received the Natasha Denona Hy•Glam Brightener from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review and below I will leave for you the review I left for BzzAgent. 

My review:

This is an absolute game changer and must have! I have been using this for several weeks and my under eye area looks better than ever. This eye brighter glides on and blends out beautifully. It makes my dark circles disappear and it did not crease even after a 12 hour day. You can layer it with or without concealer depending on the coverage you need. I honestly have not reached for anything else after using this for the past 3 weeks. Natasha Denona made a brighter I can't be without.

This is an absolutely must have and a luxurious formula.

I want to note that this sells for $32.00 and is worth every penny. If you purchase this starting today at Sephora you can save 20% or 15%/10% starting April 14. Savings depends on your Sephora membership status. I personally will never be without this so I have already purchased a back up.

 Happy Valentines Day week Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope February has been good to you so far! I am excited for this review and if you follow me on TikTok and Instagram than you know I already dropped my review for the Estee Lauder Futurist HydraPlump Lip Balm but I never want to forget my loyal Beauty Bag Dolls so I will leave my review here for you. Also if you're making a Boo basket for Valentines day I recommend this as one of the goodies you include. I am a a big fan of a pink Lip color so this one is in my wheel house but I have been stepping out but this is a beautiful shade. Read on to read the review I left.

A Beauty Bag must have!

This is a hydrating lip balm with a beautiful shade. I have the shade 705 Petal Boost and it is a gorgeous shade of pink. I can wear it day or night. It is not sticky it's just a plushy balm that keeps your lips very hydrated and soft. I highly recommend it! I am going to have multiple shades of these. "I received this product for free from Estee Lauder for testing and review purposes."

Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy to bring you a new review of the Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum. I was lucky enough to receive this complimentary from Skeepers and Innisfree. I wrote my review for Skeepers after using this for three days because I was so excited about my results. I will post my initial review that I left for Skeepers and an update. This is sold at Sephora for $37.00. I hesitate with Retinol for a multiple reasons but this one has green tea which I heard good things about. So I tried it and well read on.

This is the best Retinol serum I have tried in a long time! I cannot wait to try more from Innisfree!

My Review:

This is the best firming serum. I have used it twice daily and I saw results within 3 days. The lines on my forehead softened significantly. I never had any  sensitivity just results that I am happy with. It also has no scent and absorbs quickly. 

The texture is very light and absorbs quickly!

Update: I have not stopped using it and the results are amazing. My skin is firmer and my funes lines are diminish. Give this a try. You won't regret it.

Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick

Hello to my Beauty Bag Doll's! I am extremely excited to bring you a review of a new product that I recently purchased at Ulta Beauty. I went in to buy a few thing to restock on and the Morphe display caught my eye. Particularly two products and the Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick was something I knew I not only wanted but needed because I was at Ulta Beauty to repurchase the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand. I have been using that for contour for a very long time and I paid $42.00 without complaint until I saw the Morphe display and their bronzing stick is $15. I know what your thinking is is as good quality as the Charlotte Tilbury. Yes it is so good! It comes in 5 shades and the Charlotte Tilbury comes in 7 shades. Yes I do think Morphe needs to expand and they actually have since I purchased mine in a version called Morphe Shapelifter Micro Contour Stick in 7 shades. 

The Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick is a Beauty Bag Must-have!

I am not going to base my entire review on comparing the Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick to Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand because to me they both give you the contouring effect you are looking for just a different price points and different applications. I will leave it at that. I am loving the Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick so much that I did not purchase the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand that day. I went home tried the Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick and fell in love. The formula is so creamy that it glides onto the skin and melts after you blend it, I prefer a brush to blend it with. It leaves this very beautiful snatched effect. I choose the lightest shade called Flicker because I knew it would give me the contour perfection if I am wearing my summer shade of foundation or my fall/ winter shade of foundation. I am very impressed and happy with the quality of this formula for the price point. After using this daily for 6 weeks I am beginning to see I need a repurchase soon so it is on my list. 

The shade Flicker is perfect for me. 

I did want to mention that I had the 20% off friends and family discount for Sephora this week and I did repurchase the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand because I was saving money but without the discount I would have not repurchased it. I will now keep both in my Beauty Bag but will only be purchasing the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand with my discount code when I have one and only if it is completely empty other that that the Morphe Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick is honestly a better formula because I used it with different types of foundations and it never caused my foundation to pill like the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand does sometimes. Only honesty here. 

Stay tuned Beauty Bag Doll's because I have another review coming soon and the new product may or may not replace another very expensive brand I have used for years.

Real Techniques Limited Edition H-Diamond Blending Brush

Happy Tuesday Beauty Bag Doll's! How have all of you been? My summer has been pretty busy, but never busy enough not to be shopping at my two favorite stores Ulta and Sephora of course. Now most recently, I was on a restock trip to Ulta for some haircare when the Real Techniques aisle caught my attention along with Morphe but with Morphe everything was out of stock that I was interested in so I have to stop back in or order on Morphe's website. But the one item that really caught my eye was the Real Techniques H-Diamond Blending Brush from a limited edition collection called New Nudes 2.0 and this beautiful Brush only costs $11.99 but after using it and I am thrilled with how well it works the quality of this brush is phenomenal for the price which I think is to low but I think k is too low but I am not complaining. In fact I will be heading to Ulta at the end of the week to buy another one and to buy a few as gifts. But read on for my full review that I even left on Ulta.com because I believe in this brush that much.

Beautifully Packed which makes it so gift worthy!

This handle is very sturdy. I am beyond impressed!

The brush itself is very dense yet soft and never leaves your makeup looking streaky.

I am beyond impressed by this Real  Techniques H-Diamond Blending Brush. This brand never disappoints. This brush blends out my foundation without the need to go back and press the makeup in with a damp sponge because this brush does not leave streaks! I am so happy with how dense it is and how it fits the curves of my face. It is also durable and has a beautiful pink translucent handle. I have used it every day since receiving it, and I have washed it, and it holds up perfectly. I highly recommend it for foundation and for applying contour. 

Shop Ulta.com and Real Techniques to purchase.

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer

 Happy July Beauty Bag Doll's! I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July and your weekend! I recently did my 3rd restock on my favorite foundation which if you read my previous posts is the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. That has been my go to Foundation since I tried it but at Sephora recently I knew I wanted to try the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer. After a few minutes of shade comparing I decided on shade 11 Light Neutral. It was the perfect choice because after getting it home and using it the next day with the foundation everything came together perfectly. 

The best new concealer I have added to my makeup bag. Oh and that applicator is everything!

The perfect shade match and the best concealer formula I have used in a while.

The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer is doing something that other concealers just don't. It is very creamy and it is not heavy. I place under my eyes and it melts into my skin. It is not a dry formula and doesn't settle into any fine lines. I prefer to blend it out with a brush. For me this concealer helps to brighten my under eye are for a few hours while Hydrating the under eyes. I have been reaching for only this Concealer for the past month that I have used it. This to me is a must have Concealer. It costs $32.00 but is worth so much more because it is a Concealer you cannot even feel it's on. 

Shop Sephora or Haus Labs to purchase.

Juvia's Place Blushed Cream Blush

 Hello Beauty Bag Doll's! I am happy to be back after a bit of an intermission. I have been super busy but I have still been testing several products that I have purchased over that past month or so. This new blush is one of them. The Juvia's Place Blushed Cream Blush caught my eye several weeks ago on a restock trip to Ulta Beauty and I walked away and then regretted it so went back to buy it the next week and I have not stopped using it since. I rarely change up my blush, but this one has officially got me. I now layer my Blush or just wear this beautiful shade Peach Please alone. For me to change my blush and for it not to be a pink shade but a gorgeous peachy coral is really big. I try a lot of blushes and they all fail me but this one. The Juvia's Place Blushed Cream Blush in shade Peach Please is a must-have and it costs $16.00 and you can buy it in store or online at Ulta Beauty. I think everyone is sleeping on this blush and it's not talked about on social media enough. I have posted a review on Ulta.com because I adore this blush so much. I will post my review below.

The best new blush I have tried and incorporated into my makeup routine in a long time! Juvia's Place Blushed Cream Blush is a beauty bag must have!

This is an absolutely beautiful blush. I have it in the shade, Peach Please, and it is creamy, bendable, and perfectly pigmented.  I will say it is buildable, so do not be intimidated by the shades. They are so good. Juvia's Place is really a top-notch brand. I have already gotten more shades of the blush and will not be without it.

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation

 Hello to all my Beauty Bag Doll's! As you know my love for foundation as well as concealer and lip products is a real thing so of course I could not hold until the Sephora sale to purchase a new foundation I went in to buy a brow gel and walked out with that Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and it is so good and for that I have no regrets. I don't know why I didn't try it out when it went viral about 2 years ago but I have been missing out. I purchased it in shade 160 light medium. For me shade matching is so hard even in person and online it really stresses me out but I actually picked out a great shade but be aware at first it won't seem like your shade but after Blending it out with a brush first and then going in with a damp Beauty Blender is the best application. The foundation melts into the skin. I would say it is definitely buildable coverage to about medium. It is very lightweight and feels like nothing on the skin. As for a Primer I have used a Matte one and a hydrating one it just depends on your skin type and preferences. I have also got about 10 hours of wear without a primer. But 12 plus hours with one. 

This foundation looks beautiful on the skin and warm up to your skin within a few minutes. It also plays well with your cream/ liquid blushes or bronzers and contour routines. Any powder on top works well. I am telling all of you that this foundation is seriously good. Try it if you haven't yet. It retails for $49.00 and buy it during the Sephora sale and save because I didn't but I will be buying another one. Of course I have my eye in another foundation and some concealer but I am trying to control it. Now back to the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation it is a must have. It has joined my other favorite Huda Beauty Easy Blur and Illia.
