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.

Davines LOVE Smoothing Heat Protectant Serum

Happy May to all my Beauty Bag Doll's! I know we are several days into my busiest month but I have been very busy testing several products for all of you. The lastest is the Davines LOVE Smoothing Heat Protectant Serum that was gifted by Davines via Skeepers. It is sold at Sephora and costs $33.00. I have not personally stopped using it. I was required to of course test it for several days before reviewing it on Sephora.com and I did so. This coming week will have another review so stay tuned here and on my Instagram and TikTok. My review is below.

#gifted_by_Davines

This is an absolute game changer for my haircare routine. It is hydrating my hair without leaving it feeling greasy or heavy. My hair drank it in and felt so soft and smooth. It controlled frizz well and protects my hair from heat styling. I also love the way this smells. I highly recommend this to everyone. 

The texture is so lightweight and it smells amazing!

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.

Innisfree Green Tea Supercharged Set for Hydration & Skin Barrier Support

Beauty Bag Doll's Happy March! Can you believe it's almost spring. I know technically it is considered meteorological spring but my skin does not agree just yet. I have been using for well over a month now a new Innisfree Green Tea Supercharged Set that was sent over to my by Skeepers for my honest review. As mentioned I had well over a month to try it out and leave a review on Sephora.com. I was of course required by Skeepers to do so and I will leave that honest review for you here.

Hydrating duo that my skincare routine has to have!

My review:

This is an awesome skincare system. The Green Tea Milk is soothing and hydrating yet my skin drank it in and glowed. The Green Tea cream hydrated my skin perfectly and kept it balanced. My skin is acne prone but this system doesn't break me out. My skin is plump, soft, glowing and has bounce to it. This is a very effective skincare system that I am sticking with. 

I kept this a secret for over a month but I know it delivers results! Firming your skin and leaves it with a glow and bounce!

 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.

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.

Bobbi Brown Skin Enhancer Blush, Bronzer & Highlighter Multi-Stick

 Happy New Year and Happy January Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope all of you are having a beautiful 2026 and may it stay that way! I know it has been a minute since I have posted. However, December and January are very busy with the holidays and now my Birthday month it seems as though I need to split myself in half and half again if I want to make everyone happy. Now that being said I never forgot my Beauty blog completely because I did post multiple times on Instagram and TikTok with quick reviews of products I was testing out and loving. 

The products I have tested out the past few weeks were top secret and I couldn't talk about until now. The first new product is the Bobbi Brown Skin Enhancer Blush, Bronzer & Highlighter Multi-Stick. This was sent to me from  Topbox Marketing and I used it for several weeks before I could even review it for them and talk to all of you about it. The Multi-Stick Enhancer comes in 12 shades, and I have the Highlighter Multi-Stick in shade Morning Dew. Do note that there are 8 blush shades 2 bronzer shades and 2 highlighter shades. This also sells for $35.00. I am a long times user of a few different products from Bobbi Brown but that did not influence my review of this new launch. Read on for review I left for Topbox Marketing.

My Review:

This is an absolutely beautiful highlighter. It glides on like a dream. The formula is creamy and does not take off the makeup you have on underneath. It leaves a beautiful glow that is not glitter but a dewy soft glam highlight that is natural. "I received this product for free from Bobbi Brown for testing and review purposes."

This is my favorite highlighter!

Mac Dazzleshadow Liquid Eyeshadow

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been keeping a beautiful eyeshadow from you for a few days now. I am very picky when it comes to my eyeshadow and when Topbox sent me the brand new Mac Dazzleshadow Liquid Eyeshadow I was very excited about it. I did not want it to disappoint me and it did not! I used it for several day on different occasions just to make sure like I do with any makeup product I try and this has me dazzled. It is sold at Ulta Beauty for $28.00 and comes in 10 shades. I received the Mac Dazzleshadow Liquid Eyeshadow from Topbox Marketing and Mac for free in exchange for my honest review. Below I will leave the review I left for Mac and Topbox Marketing.

This is a beautiful eyeshadow in shade Flash or Dash

This is a beautiful eyeshadow! It is perfectly for quick application and blends out easily. There is no fallout which is a must have for me when using a glitter shadow. This dazzles for a daytime look and is dazzling for an evening look. I am recommending this to everyone.

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.

Estee Lauder Glossy Pout Lip Oil

 Happy September Beauty Bag Dolls! I cannot believe it is September and there are only a few short days left of summer, that being said I am still holding on to my summer wardrobe until the chill in the air takes over for more than 24 hour's. How about you? But what I am transitioning to fall is my skincare and makeup. First thing is First is my lip products. They are the easiest and luckily for me besides my obsession for foundation, concealer, color corrector and contouring sticks my overall obsession has been lip products. I have been lucky enough to be able to try out since late August a new launch from Estee Lauder. The Estee Lauder Glossy Pout Lip Oil in shade hot cocoa. This lip oil officially launched on September 1st 2025 and I posted my review on my Instagram and TikTok. I will attach it below for all of my Beautiful Beauty Bag Dolls!

This is an absolutely beautiful lip oil. I have the shade hot Cocoa and it is stunning. The applicator hugs my lips evenly distributing the gloss. It is perfectly pigmented and hydration is perfect. It stays on for several hours before needing reapplying. I adore the high shine it gives. By far the best lip oil!
