Birthday Haul - Pacifica, Sephora, Goodwill, and More!

My birthday was on July 27th and I just wanted to show a couple of the things I got. And I'm focusing more on birthday perks/rewards from some of the companies I follow than actual gifts. FYI, I filmed this video a while ago but have just been able to successfully get it off of my camera *sigh* Thankfully, I was able to upload it before the end of this month. Check it out to find out more. Please rate and subscribe. And please watch in HD. Oh, and I'm at the beau's place here.

New Natural Mineral Makeup and Skin Care from Pacifica!

I've been a fan of PACIFICA.for some years now. I've used their soaps, lotions, solid perfumes, candles and loved them all. I have a little stock pile of their solid pefumes in my fragrance stash collection  from a couple years ago. They still smell great. So when I saw that they were introducing mineral makeup and skincare products to their line, I was really excited to check it out. I looked the new items on their site and they look really interesting. Plus they're relatively affordable
The color line includes lip tints, multi-use shimmers, an eyeshadow palette, and a bb cream which claims to adjust to your skin tone. The skincare line includes a foam  face wash, cleansing wipes, and day/night cream

I'd love to try it all, of course, but I'm most interested in the shadows, and  lip tints in Sugared Fig, Blood Orange and Coconut Nectar (shown below l to r) . I think the shimmers would be cool  too. They are multi-purpose colors for eyes, lips and cheeks. I also need to see if that bb cream really adjusts to your shade. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does

Wander Lust Beauty Set.

I''ve seen Pacifica sold in  Whole Foods, Sephora and Target so I hope that these new items will be available there. That way I can see them up close and personal. Otherwise, I might get one these Wanderlust Mineral Color Sets to start. I'll keep you posted.
Have you used any of Pacifica's products before?

Note: They currently have samples of  all of their solid perfumes for $2

My Fave Solid Perfumes















Many years ago my mom worked for Avon so there were always perfume and body products around. There were especially lots of perfumes that were packaged in collectible or keepsake bottles and containers. I was especially fond of a locket that had solid perfume in it-I thought it was so cool.


Now, I have recently been seeing solid perfumes popping up again, so of course I had to check them out. So far I have bought solid perfumes from Pacifica- pacificaperfume.com and Lush Cosmetics- lush.com. I went totally wild and bought way too many perfumes from both places. For instance, I bought about five perfumes from Pacifica. They were $8.95 each and %15 percent off-so I just went for it. The scents I bought were Tuscan Blood Orange, Brazilian Mango Grapefruit, Hawaiian Ruby Guava, Bali Lime Papaya, and Malibu Lemon Blossom. I like them all especially the Blood Orange. Plus Pacifica also has spicy and woodsy scents like sandalwood and amber-If u don't like the fruity stuff.


When I bought the Lush perfumes I got about four at $12 and some change. The scents I got were American Cream, Silky Underwear, Champagne Snow Showers (seasonal), and Honey I washed the Kids. These fragrances come from other popular Lush products that have been around for years (conditioners, powders, soaps). I then returned to Lush and bought Go Green and Fever. I like the Champagne Snow Showers the most-too bad it is only around during Christmas.


Now, that may seem like way to many fragrances for one girl to have, but I'm obsessed. Plus, I love to layer scents and solid perfume are perfect because they are usually pretty subtle. And they last a long time. I also like the idea of not smelling like everyone else- so I mix and match scents all the time. Even if I have a fragrance that smells just ok- I can add something and make it great. Yay me!!!

Both Pacifica and Lush use organic ingredients in their solid perfumes . The perfumes are also vegan. Yay them!!!!
