Happy pay day! What’s better than celebrating the weekend with a little beauty shopping binge? What’s that you say? A beauty blogger who’s got an entire corner of the bedroom overflowing with beauty products needs more? Yes. Yes, that’s correct. I’m a beauty shopaholic, I know. Here’s what’s on my beauty to-buy list:
- Clarisonic Mia 2. I’ve been wanting a Clarisonic Mia since I was first introduced to the skincare tool necessity at a department store beauty trend event. I spent the first half of the week debating between the Mia 1 or 2, and then I spent the second half of the week deciding on what color (because that is just as important). Unfortunately, still stuck on a color. I’m leaning towards the Sea Breeze (pictured). Thoughts?
- Alchimie Forever Gentle Refining Scrub. I had my first Alchimie Forever facial and simply put: most. relaxing. facial. ever. And while I was enjoying my hour long snoozefest, I had to make a mental note to purchase this scrub, perfect for washing away dead skin cells and such without any redness or irritation.
- Quality makeup brushes. I recently binged on a travel brush set from Sephora and sadly, was a little disappointed. Their great for on-the-go touch-ups, but I’m desperately searching for some new quality brushes (just the essentials- powder, blush and a kabuki). I’d love to know what brands you’re loving right now!
What’s on your weekend shopping list?
I support your hoarding!
haha thank you!
Sounds like a great start to the weekend:) The Clarisonic is the best — I have the original (though totally want a fun color, too!) Maybe go the greenish route in honor of St. Patty’s!
Thanks! Green also happens to be my favorite color 🙂
I’m in love with my Clarisonic Mia. I use the acne brush head and it helps to keep my skin from breaking out too much. Maybe I’m too much of a fanatic but I’m now trying the Clarisonic Opal for fine lines around my eyes and forehead.
Please let us know what you think of the scrub if you end up getting it!

Thank you so much for reading and the follow! Will add you on Bloglovin’!
I LOVE the Clarisonic Mia! The Sea Breeze color you’re contemplating is just gorgeous! 🙂
I LOVE Alchimie Forever…received a sample of their Kantic Calming Evening Cream from Dermstore recently, and just used the last drop of it last night.
And I’m with you on the brushes. I have been a loyal Bare Minerals brush follower for years, but recently I feel like the quality has diminished. My favorite brush from Bare Minerals is the Handy Buki for fuller coverage foundation application but the hair fallout has been awful lately.
While at Target last weekend, I picked up two brushes from Sonia Kashuk and I am VERY impressed so far! They were very reasonably priced, they feel amazing, the shedding is minimal, and they have really nice, sleek handles. She offers both synthetic and natural brushes.
I also have some kabuki EcoTools brushes that I really like – they look really nice on my vanity.
Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for these recs! I love bareMinerals too and contemplated their brushes. I actually ended up going to Ulta over the weekend and picked up their powder and blush brushes (which were synthetic and reasonable in price). So far I like the blush brush, not sure about the powder and still in need of a foundation brush! Need to take a trip to Target for Sonia Kashuk!
