Every year during different seasons I treat myself to a beauty binge. I use this time to replenish my inventory of products I already own and to search for some new to me brands and products. I find this shopping adventure to be both exciting an therapeutic ;)
This is year I ventured out in the winter and found makeup and skincare goodies great for this season and beyond. My destination is always the same, the @Loreal employee store. @Loreal is the parent company to most of my favorite hair care, skincare and beauty brands, think: @MizaniUSA, @CarolsDaughter,@YSLBeauty, @TheBodyShop and many...MANY....more!
During my visit the store they were doing a complimentary raffle for patrons and were giving away loads of FREE products with purchase to boot. You didn't find out what you got for free until checkout which added to the excitement for me and my fellow shoppers.

The first freebie in my haul was a @LorealParis La Palette/Lip kit in Pink. I had previously received another complimentary La Palette in Purple (blog post and review here) so I felt like my collection was now complete. The same creamy richness and bold colors in the purple palette were present in the pink one as well. I haven't used this goodie yet but when spring comes this will be my go to!
I also grabbed a handful of @Redken5thAve No Blow Dry styling creams perfect for my little guy. His naturally curly hair needs just a little bit of help when hat season is in effect.

Another FREE product with my purchase was a body milk and exfoliate by a "new to me" brand @DecleorSkincare. This two step system has become a staple in my winter skincare regimen this year. The exfoliate is effective but not too abrasive and the body milk hydrates my skin without leaving it sticky. I'm so grateful this set made it to my bag, always love finding new brands that work for me!
OK so that's 3 for free! So what did I actually buy?
My first purchase was a lip-gloss set from @TheBodyShop. The packaging on the Born Lippy glosses was so eye-catching I just had to grab it and I figured these five balms would be great at helping prevent the dryness I experience in the winter, fruit themed flavors were just a bonus ;)

The next thing I looked at were beauty masks by @GarnierUSA. These are relatively new and there were so many options that I bought one of each. I typically like to use a mask every 10-14 days and my skin fluctuates more in the cold so I'm prepared for whatever comes my way. I'll have hydrated, anti-fatigued, soothed, glowing skin after an easy 15 minute application.
During my adventure I picked up a few more pieces before leaving but to my surprise I was a raffle winner!!! I took away a basket filled with @YSLBeauty and @GiorgioArmani beauty products which reduced my need to purchase almost anything in that department ;) I always have a great time exploring new brands and finding items to meet my needs and this beauty binge was no exception. Leave your comments about the brands I took home below along with any recommendations you have for next time.
