So as we all know by now, I went H.A.M. for my birthday and let's be honest I just can't stop myself and I still am.

Guess what that means?

Here's the next installment of my Birthday Hauls!!

Let me also say I've been using all the Sephora Haul & these Ulta Haul products for the past couple weeks, so the updates will be coming up sooner than later.

Let's get right into this shiznit..

We'll start with the skincare products to get it over with because I feel like everyone just wants to get to the makeup and swatches. Hahaha.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel ($27)

This is a repurchase.

My absolute favorite daily daytime moisturizer that I always find my way back to.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray w/ Aloe, Herb, & Rose ($7)

Mario Badescu Facial Spray w/ Aloe, Cucumber, & Green Tea ($7)

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips ($15.99)

The Biore Strips are a repurchase.

Seriously who doesn't love these things?

I've tried a bunch of pore clearing masks, especially those black trendy ones and so far none have really compared to these bad boys right here or at least for my nose plus they're super affordable.

Pulling out all that crap on these strips is so fucking satisfying.

I don't have as many clogged pores as I used to, so I usually have my husband do it with me so we can oooh and aaaw over how gross his is lmfao.

The Rose Facial Spray is another repurchase.

This stuff is so good and affordable that I would recommend everyone try this out for so many different reasons whether it be skincare or makeup related, I myself use it for both.

BTW I see a lot of people seem confused about what this product is so I just want to say that this is not a makeup setting spray in the sense that it in no way will make your makeup last longer.

What it will do is melt everything down into place and take down away that powdery effect of your makeup, foil shadows, and is more similar to what M.A.C. Fix+ does than a setting spray.

It's also amazing for added hydration before moisturizer or anytime throughout the day for a quick boost of hydration, it's refreshing, and won't fuck up your makeup either.

Very soothing on the skin, full of vitamins & minerals, and the smell even gives you a nice aromatherapy boost, it just makes you feel good.

I go through this stuff so fast, I spray it before moisturizer, after makeup if I'm wearing makeup, and throughout the day. Pretty much every time I see the bottle I want to spray my face, it's that good.

The Cucumber & Green Tea Facial Spray is a first time purchase.

Obviously my obsession with this spray is too real.

When I found out that they had come out with another one I was all over it.

This one is supposed to be more soothing and cooling because of the different ingredients.

It's also exclusive to Ulta.

BareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion Serum ($48)

My daytime skincare routine has been lacking a serum for quite some time (like a year, oops) but nothing had really popped out at me.
Skincare gets expensive for something I'll end up hating or doesn't work out for me plus I'm not really the type to return things so yeah being patient has been hard.
I received some deluxe samples of this serum and I had probably about 3 of them which lasted me around 4 weeks, so basically I tried this out for 4 weeks and absolutely loved the results so far and decided to jump in and buy the full size before I ran out.

I'll obviously use this a few more weeks before I make any crazy claims but so far I'm excited about this product.

I've also been thinking about doing an updated skincare routine being that I've switched up quite a few things with the season change and just cutting out some crappy products.

So be on the lookout for that soon too.

Definitely also been thinking about posting twice a week instead of my usual one, since I'm also trying to incorporate so many more content ideas.

Okay, okay I know, on to the makeup products and swatches.
