Youth to the People 20% Off Sitewide with Recommendations

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Hurry on over to youthtothepeople.com and snag yourself 20% Off sitewide with code MUSE20. This is a great deal and a perfect time to purchase early Holiday gifts or stock up on a few items for yourself. As you know I’m obsessed with Youth to the People lately.

Of course, gotta get my recs in! The top product for me, hands down, is the Triple Peptide + Cactus Oasis Serum. This is truly the best HA I’ve come across. It works all over your face including under your eyes. I use it morning and night on a slightly damp face. It absorbs easily, isn’t sticky or tacky, and leaves my skin plumped up! I’m convinced it’s softened the finer lines under my eyes! If you’re not sure it’ll be good for you might I recommend the Youth Stacks Plump Up for Dry, Dehydrated Skin Gift Set? It’s $25 but with the discount code, it’ll set you back $20 bucks and includes deluxe sizes of the serum and an Adaptogen Deep Moisture Moisturizer. There’s also the Treatment Serum Trio which contains the serum as well as two other products I really enjoy from Youth to the People which are Vitamin C + Caffeine 15% Energy Serum and Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum (0.27 oz each). This is a GREAT way to try out all three serums. I happen to suffer from morning puffy face and I really enjoy the Vit C with Caffeine to not only bright but depuff. I’ve used the retinal for several weeks and I experienced no irritation with it. I don’t really have a full review on that one quite yet as I’m still working my face through it but I’ll let you know when I have completed it and what my results were! Either way, the Treatment Serum Trio is a nice way to check out all three of these! The set is $48 but with the discount it’s $38.

I love Heimish Eye Cream as you know! It’s totally my ride or die but my other ride or die goes to Youth to the People Super Berry Dream Eye Cream. If you have dry eyes and finer lines due to dryness this will be your best friend. It’s thick, it’s creamy, it absorbs easily, and it delivers an incredibly powerful punch of moisture so your eyes will look smoother, your concealer will apply more evenly, and your finer lines will look softer. LOVE this stuff. If you don’t want to indulge in the full-size check out the Youth the People Youth Stacks Glow to Sleep Gift Set. After the discount, it’s $16 after discount and includes deluxe sizes of the Super Berry Dream Eye Cream and a Super Berry Dream Sleep Mask!

As I mentioned above I do love their Vitamin C with caffeine! Ideal for those puffy faced days! I do recommend trying it out for yourself and you can do so in the Brighter Tomorrow Duo for Dullness!

I’ve had great results with their skincare so, if you need/want any other recommendations post a comment.

Enjoy the same!

Ulta Early Black Friday Deals 2022 Brings a Bunch of Junk

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Sorry not sorry but Ulta has some Early Black Friday Deals live that have me scratching my head. I love me some Ulta but these deals ain’t it. The only thing worthy of a pickup is the Hempz Collection! They have around 30-50% off Hempz Fall and Holiday 2022. I’d def look through that collection and pick out a few items for sure as they are worth the purchase in my humble opinion!

Pumpkin Spice & Vanilla Chai Herbal Body Moisturizer is back in stock and marked down to $17.50, Bake Shop Body Butters Duo Gift Set is $10.50 (I literally just purchased this and now it went on sale sheesh!), and even Peppermint Vanilla Swirl Herbal Body Moisturizer is already on sale!

A few other items of interest would be Kristen Ess select haircare 50% off, 30-40% Off Patchology, and select Kinship skincare on sale.

It’s really nothing to get excited about sadly. Mostly skincare, some body care, and lots of supplements. I feel like they might be clearing out nearly expired skincare and slapping it up for sale. This is really very unexciting. Their traditional Haul-a-days Sale is probably upcoming soon which I hope brings better deals.

But for now the Ulta Early Black Friday Deals are a little bleak and boring.

The Mascara That Haunts My Dreams That I Will Haul During Sephora’s Sale

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Tell me everything you know about Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara because people keep telling me that I NEED to try it. Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara is a long-wearing mascara that promises longer, fuller, curled lashes. Apparently, the brush provides great lift and hugs lashes at the lash line to pull them upwards and out. This freaking mascara has haunted my life for the past few months as I hear about it everywhere. Friends tell me I need to try it, readers tell me I need to try it, Tiktokers tell me I need to try it. I’m just gonna cave! I’ve added it to my Sephora Holiday Savings Event List and I’ll be purchasing it to try out.

Let’s see how great it is. They have a mini for $11 which discounted will set me back $9 bucks but I’m just buying the full-size which is $16 after the discount. Honestly, with drugstore mascara prices as they are now $16 isn’t too bad a deal. I’ve seen drugstores hawking $14 mascaras! At least Rare Beauty is a mid-range brand. Also, Rare Beauty has some sales but most are 20% off but never higher so, I feel good about this purchase!

My ride-or-die is still Tarte Lights Camera Lashes! No one is gonna tell me it isn’t the best of the best out there. I just picked up the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-Pc Collector’s Set from qvc.com for $39 bucks with free shipping! Total score! 4 Full-Size Mascaras! Great pick-up if you love this formula!

But back to Rare Beauty….!

Tell me, have you tried the Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara?

Did you like it?

Do share!

Lorac Holiday 2022 Launches with 15% Off

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

The Lorac Holiday 2022 has arrived and it’s 15% off at macys.com today with code FRIEND. This excited me but I recently saw a Tiktok with a girl who said “Who are buying these beauty brands?!” and Lorac was on it. I was like, WHAT? Lorac is cool! Or at least, I think it’s cool. Am I wrong? This girl was all, “Who the hell buys Lorac? Did anyone ever buy it?” and I was like, “but but but what about the Unzipped craze?” I mean, Lorac had some really good times back in the day.

I feel a little sad about this because I actually still enjoy Lorac. They have a very solid eyeshadow formula. So yeah, when I saw some new Holiday Sets pop up I got pretty happy about that.
