Haul: The Essentials and New Loves

Here's a recent haul I did. A few essentials really. I'm loving Colgate Optic White. Can you have an HG toothpaste? This is it for me. Amazing! And yes, it does work. Burts Bees lip balm. Very peppermint-y and not slippery the way some balms can be. I do need to keep re-applying though which isn't a problem for me as I'm a bit of an addict. I'll be getting the pomegranate oil ones soon. Korres Lip Butter in Guava: I really need to stop with these. They're not all that but I guess I keep buying them in the hopes that one would work for me. I mean don't get me wrong...they make the best lipstick bases but as a moisturizing lip butter? Meh. I find they actually dry my lips out. This one I bought to sheer out my darker lippies without adding gloss and it works great for that. MAC's Korean Kandy...Sheen Supremes are the 'it' lipstick from MAC for me. They're so soft that if you're not careful they can melt on you in very hot weather but I love them anyway. The hair product is a very recent buy and I only used it yesterday as a leave in treatment. My hair is amazing soft!!! Without any extra product. I'll give it a few more goes before I do a review.
La Roche Posay Fluid Extreme Tint!! How could i forget? SPF 50 to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Yes. I'm obsessed with suncare these days. Not much thought on this yet but will review after some use.
Biotin capsules. I've been doing some research on anti-aging and this is a supplement they recommend. Of course, finding out that it can aid in weight-loss because it speeds up your metabolism is a plus. My mom also uses this as it's good for persons with diabetes.
*A word on weight-loss* I busted through my plateau today (could it be the Biotin?). I expected at least a pound down when I woke up this morning but it was actually 2.8lbs. This makes me happy because I think I've finally found a way to make my routine work for me without doing anything too drastic.
Let me know what you've tried!

And Today's Lunch: Parmasean Crusted Tilapia, Garlic tossed Veggies and Plantains. Yum
