Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been testing and reviewing different things over the past few weeks and this one is another one from Neutrogena. I am always on the lookout for new cleansers, and I actually worked in an acne prone skin friendly one that I was going to share with you soon until this one came into my skincare cleansing rotation. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free has a lot of positive aspects to it. At a glance it is fragrance free and super affordable at $12.49 at Ulta Beauty whereas my acne prone skin friendly one is $32.00 while that one works well at just cleansing your skin (I would say it is the second cleanse of your routine). The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free is amazing at removing make without needing a double cleanse and it is even good at just cleansing your skin in the AM. I have paid upwards of $50.00 for makeup cleansing balms and this one does the trick at just $12.49. I posted an Instagram post for all of you as well and did a little review here. I hope it helps you figure out your cleansing routine because it is never ever good to go to bed with your makeup on.

Ilia True Skin Primer, Foundation & Concealer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have a triple review for you today! As promised a little while back I was on a search for the perfect new foundation. I did say I wanted a primer and concealer from the same brand since I have found that matching the brand works best for me for a while now. I searched for a while researching and trying to make the best choice for my skin type, I also wanted something on the clean beauty side, and I have found the Ilia True Skin Radiant Priming Serum, Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer. The price at Sephora and the Ilia website is for the Primer $54.00, the Foundation $52.00 and the Concealer is $30.00. 

These three amazing products from Ilia are a beauty bag must! Due note that the Foundation drops on February 8, 2022 at Sephora.com 


The Ilia True Radiant Priming Serum is great. It applies like a serum and dries in a minute. My skin feels soft and matte ready for makeup. This is a must have because it is a skincare primer which is rare in the makeup world. I struggle to find a good primer that doesn't break me out and this one is the winner! I did notice however an off smell to this one it can be a deal breaker on some days, I won't use it.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer is amazing. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my dark circles easily, some blemishes as well. In fact, I felt when I removed my makeup after a few days of use it helped to heal my blemishes. It was a medium coverage and never ever felt heavy. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their foundation as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. I will try another shade because with concealers I like to have a few different shades on hand for when I am sunless tanning.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation has great coverage. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my blemishes and even out my skin. In fact, it truly felt like nothing on my face, and I never had mid-day shine in my T-Zone. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their concealer as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. 

An additional note: I am a big fan of this brand since trying their mascara in fact it is my must have go to and I was thrilled to fall head over heals for this trio of products!

Neutrogena Skin Glowing Weekly Exfoliating Facial Treatment

 Today is February 1st and while my skincare game is going strong, I am awaiting the arrival of...my new foundation that I finally decided on. I am not sure why it is difficult for me to pick a foundation, but I am leaning toward the fact that I have acne prone skin and it freaks me out to break out when I use a new foundation and apply it in the AM and cannot take it off until PM and with skincare, I usually try it out at night and if an issue arises, I can immediately wash it off. Now that I have updated you on that I can get back to the review of the brand-new Neutrogena Skin Glowing Weekly Exfoliating Facial Treatment I have posted my review of this on my Instagram, and you can click any of the highlighted words to check out the review and a photo.

March 2022 QVC TSV List and an Update...

Hey Beauty Bag Dolls. I have a tiny sneak peek of the upcoming March Today Special Values for QVC. What are you interested in? I have my eye on the NYDJ, Fashion and of course the Beauty Day on the 8th this Beauty Day on the 8th is interesting so I will be on the lookout to purchase. The 11th, 15th and 19th have now caught my eye. Read on the for the TSV and an update on my update! 

Now my update...

How have your beauty purchases gone so far? I have started a new eye cream and its seeming like a failure because I stopped using it and now, I purchased another. (I will reveal the brand in a few days after one more try). Also, still on the hunt for a new foundation, concealer and primer. I am struggling because I would like for it to be from the same brand all three. That has worked for me so far and I would like to stick with it since mixing and matching has irritated my skin in the past. I am again leaning toward clean beauty like my bareMinerals foundation which I have been using for over a year now (interchanging with others of course) but I have that urge to switch it up. I want to have a new foundation in my rotation next month a review for you after that. I am also trying out a new weekly facial treatment and I will have a new review for you soon. I know some of my blog posts are a little more on and off but do know I update on Instagram as well just depending. Follow me below for more frequent updates and read on for the QVC TSV's.

Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray

 Beauty Bag Dolls in this new year I seem to be focusing on haircare not on purpose just kind of happened organically when I was looking into what to use on my hair and how to switch things up because I have been curious about different brands that actually seemed to meet my needs for my hair. The Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray was one that looked like I could use almost every day! I was happy when it arrived and tested it for several weeks. I have a full review on my Instagram so click any of my links in this post to read my full thoughts.

Augustinus Bader The Shampoo/The Conditioner & The Scalp Treatment

 Beauty Bag Dolls I am coming to you in the new year with a new review of some brand-new products that are dropping from the Augustinus Bader line. The launched is for haircare and I have been testing it out for a few weeks now. I was sent these products out complimentary from Influenster.com in exchange for my honest review and you can sign up for your very own voxbox that is sent out in exchange for your honest reviews if you click on any of my links with the word Influenster in it. As far as these reviews for the Augustinus Bader The Shampoo/The Conditioner & The Scalp Treatment I was asked to review for Influenster on their website as well as Sephora.com which is what I did. I will link below my reviews that I left for both websites as well as my initial thoughts when my products arrived on Instagram along with of course a picture. Now as far reviews read on. 

Augustinus Bader The Shampoo impressed me after one use and with continued use I have had no issues. It lathers nicely and cleanses my hair well. It never feels dried out or weighed down. After the past few weeks, I have noticed less shedding and increased volume. This shampoo is a must. I also must use it with the Augustinus Bader The Conditioner for added hydration. The price point is perfect for the quality of shampoo it is honestly very affordable compared to other shampoos that do nothing. Do note that this shampoo has no scent which to me is not a deal breaker because my styling products are more than enough scent. 

Augustinus Bader The Conditioner is my favorite conditioner right now. It is unscented which means in never competes with my shampoo or leave in treatments it truly hydrates my hair without weighting it down and it detangles my hair which is a must since I have long hair. A quarter size amount is more than enough to condition from root to tip which makes the $55 price tag worth it. Give this haircare line a try it is really good.

Augustinus Bader The Scalp Treatment really works. You need to give this a try and use it consistently for at least two weeks. I noticed that my hair was shiny, and I had less breakage while using this scalp treatment. I do also use the companion shampoo and conditioner from the Augustinus Bader line, and it has made a big difference in my hair. I will be purchasing this line again to continue to improve my scalp and hair!

I know I teased in the beginning of this review how I got this product for a company called Influenster to try the for free in exchange for my honest review. I signed a long time ago and from time to time you may get chosen to try out products in exchange for honest reviews and I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Augustinus Bader  #voxbox . I have had a few of these voxboxes over the years and it really awesome. You sign up answer questions and then wait and see if your matched to any of the Influenster current campaigns. I have linked the Influenster website throughout this review for you to sign up and you can also sign up right here. It's free and easy to join!

Perricone MD Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Ultra-Smooth Clean Shave Cream

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have an awesome product that is for everyone who shaves. Perricone MD is a brand that I do love for skincare. I have reviewed their products on my blog and now they have what I would say is both a skincare and body care product that was just dropped early last month. I have been testing it out and I must say I am hooked on the Perricone MD Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Ultra-Smooth Clean Shave Cream. While shave cream is something I do care about I usually just bought what I found at my local Target or Ulta Beauty in the shave cream aisle which was usually eos brand because it always seemed to keep my skin calmed when using it however now the Perricone MD Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Ultra-Smooth Clean Shave Cream was sent to me via BzzAgent in exchange for my review and I do love it. It sells for $29.00 which is pricy compared to my go to eos which is around $4.00 but when comparing the two I do have to use more eos and less of the Perricone. Now to find out if I have made an official switch to Perricone check out my Instagram post here
