Unboxing Amazon Prime Day Purchases – Parts 2 and 3

Part 2

Sunday, I got a second box of goodies from my Amazon Prime Days Sale splurge.

This order was all about Jouer.

I usually order directly from the company itself, but after receiving (but barely glancing at) a couple of emails from them about sales, I realized that they were telling me that their products were 30% off on Amazon last week.

Eye Patches

Dark circles are my life these days. Maybe I’ve had them awhile and didn’t notice them, but now that I do, I’m trying to figure out how to remedy them.

I’ve still got the other box I purchased recently, but since I know I like Jouer products, I thought I’d give these a whirl.

They are super sparkly.

They are super flimsy (is that how all of these things are?).

They are super thin.

I actually like them, but I wish more came to a box!

Setting Powder

I’d been less than enamored with the last powder I’d bought. I only use the his powder under my eyes, on top of whatever concealer I’ve applied.

I had chosen a darker color when I ordered my last compact, and it just didn’t brighten up my under eyes.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison. The new one is on the left.

I bought a new applicator brush for the new powder. This brush collapses, which makes it perfect for traveling.

Concealer

I’ve been looking for a corrector/concealer but landing on the perfect color has been something out of my wheelhouse.

Y’all, I don’t really know what color my undertones are. A girl at Ulta once told me I have neutral tones, but who knows.

This one reminds me of the Tarte tube I’ve been using for the last two months, except the Jouer version isn’t quite as thick.

I think it looks good!

Not sure what’s going on with the eyebrows though. 🤣

Part 3

Monday, when the Mr. picked me up from work, he had one of my latest Amazon packages with him. I’d ordered this shirt, which I already had in blue. It’s so comfortable that I wanted another color.

I had one more small package and a big one waiting for me on the kitchen counter when I got home.

The little one contained this concealer pen because I’m testing out all of the things to see what works best.

The packaging gave me all the heart eyes – marketing at its best.

I’m going to feel so fancy when I use this.

It’s a pump up, like a pen, which will be interesting. My fingers are crossed that this works well.

Here’s what was in the big box . . .

I’d been looking for a makeup mirror that plugged in because the one I already had ran on batteries that frequently had to be replaced.

The new mirror is rechargeable. I’m super excited about it!

I’m gonna have to slow my roll on the shopping bit. We have new air conditioner parts to pay for and upcoming trips to save for.
