Summer 2016 FabFitFun Box - Review and Unboxing

FabFitFun is a quarterly lifestyle box! For $57.99 USD for Canadians, (FabFitFun is $49.99 in the U.S.A.) at the start of each season, they guarantee you will receive at least $100 worth of items but generally the past boxes have all had well over $200 worth of goodies in them! The boxes generally contain a range of items from jewelry, skincare, workout items, bath products, accessories, etc.  

Here is a look at the goodies inside the Summer 2016 FabFitFun box:

This box was very pretty and I noticed with the Spring 2016 the boxes were larger. The boxes also contains a magazine type pamphlet to explain all the goodies that are inside the box! 

Manicure Monday - Shark Week Nail Stickers!

Happy Shark Week and Manicure Monday! Here is a look at my Shark nails:

How cute are these nail wraps from Tattify?! 

Skincare Sunday - Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask Review

I love the Lush fresh face masks, so I am slowly making my way through trying them all! I recently picked up the seaweed mask and am excited to try it!

Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask ~ $9.95. Created especially to care for sensitive skin, BB Seaweed is a best-seller for its soothing, smoothing effects. No surprises here, it’s packed with none other than the ocean greenery itself! Seven pounds of it in each batch, in fact. This locally-harvested, nutrient-rich seaweed nourishes the skin, while finely ground almonds ever-so-gently exfoliate leaving skin perfectly smooth. We use a generous helpings of aloe vera gel and rose absolute to calm and soothe sensitive spots, and a gorgeous combination of honey and olive oil to moisturize. You look beautiful, BB!

Five on Friday - June 24, 2016

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a great week! I told you guys last week that I was going back to shift work this Summer, but got some really great news that I have my Mon-Fri work position for 1 more year! Yay! 

ONE 
I hope this week you guys noticed 2 big changes on the blog! 

First, I took the plunge and bought myself a domain name!! Ya, I own this gem now! I am now officially www.seetheworldinpink.ca !!!!! Yay! (So, if had my blogger name saved, you can switch it to this website now if you want - the blogger one will automatically redirect you to the new site seamlessly as I am still hosting through them!)

Second, I am still updating the look of the blog, but found a template that looks a little more simple and really focuses on pictures and content! There is still lots to update, but I am getting there slowly! I hope you guys like the new look!

TWO

I don't always buy the Sephora Favorites value set, but I recently had to grab this Sephora Favorites "Chic It Easy" value set. Okay, I LOVE a good deal - who doesn't?! And Sephora Canada had this product wrongly priced for a little bit - it was $49US on the American site and only $33CAN on the Canadian site (was eventually moved up to $58CAN) which tells me I got a great deal. The YSL Touche Eclat is full size and $50 alone! The face mist is $19, etc. so I am pretty excited to dig in - the only issue was everything only came in one shade so if this wasn't your skintone, it was frustrating. It is sold out now, so that is why I am not doing a full unboxing! 

June 2016 Topbox - Review and Unboxing

TopBox is a Canadian Beauty Box Subscription - for $12 CDN a month with free shipping, you will receive 4 deluxe sample size or full size products. You fill out a beauty profile and generally receive products based on what you have identified in the profile. Also, every month you have the option to wish for a "prive" box, which is a box that focuses on one brand or product for the whole box.

Each month comes with a couple variations, so you may not receive exactly the same products as me, but generally 1 or 2 are the same throughout all the bags. 
TopBox is a Canadian company and only ships to Canada. There is usually a month or two waitlist for this subscription. 

For June, I requested a regular Topbox - here is a look at what I received: 

One change Topbox made this month is that they are no longer sending a paper product card - you will now get it emailed to you around the time that your bag ships out. This helps them send out electronic links to where you can buy the products! Also, they changed to purple foil bubble mailers instead of the past signature Topbox mailer, but they are very similar.

Huge ColourPop Haul! (with swatches)

Uh oh, I may have went a little crazy on the ColourPop ordering here recently - this is actually a combination of 2 orders! The first order, they had a 20% sale, so of course I had to scoop some goodies up, and then for their 2nd Birthday, they released a special edition shadow for the occasion, so I had to put in a second order! Whoops! 

Here is a look at the goodies I grabbed:

I will break it down by products and show you some natural light product swatches! 

Manicure Monday - Eyelash Nail Art + Gold!

Happy Mani Monday!! This week I am going girly with glittery gold and eyelash nail art! 

I love long fluttery lashes, so they are perfect for my nails! 

Skincare Sunday - Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Skincare Line Review

I love quality skincare products; but, I also love when those quality products come with great packaging! 

Nip + Fab has comes with attention grabbing packaging - who doesn't want to use Dragon's Blood all over their face?! I love this! They also have other lines such as Bee Sting, Kale Fix and more. 

Five on Friday - June 17, 2016

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you guys had a great week - I actually had a surprise short work week (my husband had to go in for a last minute 2nd knee surgery so I had to take today and yesterday off to take care of him). It sounds like everything went well this time and it should be fully fixed! 

ONE

While I was awaiting my husbands surgery I had time this week to shop (I feel like I never actually go out shopping and do most of it online). Luckily for me, I was actually needed to get new hand soap when I happened across Bath and Body Works having a big soap sale - 10 for $30! I scooped up a ton - my favorite scents right now are Peach Bellini and Mango Dragon Fruit! 

Mask Wednesday - SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Ampoule Mask Review

It's Wednesday, and while I have no wine to share this week, I do have a mask I have been waiting forever to try! 

SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Ampoule Mask ~ $3. This highly concentrated sheet mask is made from edible Sea Bird's (Swiftlet) Nest Extract to provide moisture, soothing, skin flexibility, and skin vitality benefits.Very nourishing and hydrating, this is a great sheet mask for anyone looking for moisturizing and anti-aging benefits. 

Manicure Monday - Flamingo Nail Art

Happy Manicure Monday - this week I am doing some bright and fun Flamingo nail art! 

I love how bright and fun these are! The Flamingos are not my best nail art, but they turned out decent! 

Skincare Sunday - Soak It Canada Hibiscus Coconut Clay Mask Review

Happy Sunday everyone! Tonight I need a clay mask to deep clean my skin! I recently won a set of goodies from Soak It Canada and it included 4 individual clay masks to try! Soak It Canada is a Canadian company based in Ontario that focuses on making vegan and vegetarian bath and body products.  

A set of 4 Single Use Clay Masks are $7, and a full size container is $10. Tonight I'm trying Hibiscus Coconut! (there is also other options such as Chocolate Mint, Blackout, and Oat & Honey!) 

Five on Friday - June 10, 2016

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a great week! I have to say sorry for no Wine and Mask Wednesday (I was with a friend catching up on the 2 nights worth of the Bachelorette and I was exhausted afterwards!)

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette - Swatches, Makeup Look & Review!

I recently reviewed the Face Palette from the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection, and wanted to follow up right away with the Eyeshadow Palette! (for more information on the rest of the Champagne Collection and to see the face palette, you can go here!)

However, as I was finishing up writing this post, I watched Jaclyn Hill's snapchat and saw that they would no longer be selling this palette at all. It was a long story, but to make it short Becca ended up using a different factory to produce this palette than they normally do and the eyeshadow is not up to their regular standards. 

I thought because there may be those of us that did purchase it, to review it anyways! 

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette ~ $48.00. The limited-edition Eye Palette includes a Champagne Pop-inspired shade for the eyes, Champagne Toast—created by Jaclyn Hill. This versatile palette of lustrous and matte shades allows you to enhance the eyes with layers of light and color. 

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette - Review and Swatches!

Alright, I'm sure most of you guys have heard of Champagne Pop by now - this is the original highlighter that Youtuber Jaclyn Hill created with Becca Cosmetics. The highlighter is absolutely gorgeous, so when Becca Cosmetics and Jaclyn Hill announced that they were collaborating again, I was so excited!

The whole "Champagne Collection" was released online on May 26 and will be in Sephora stores on June 16 (there will be a 2nd release online on June 16 as well for the limited edition items). 

The collection includes 3 permanent items and 2 limited edition palettes. The permanent items are the highlighter Champagne Pop in Pressed, Poured and Liquid (if you want to see the pressed Champagne Pop review and a comparison between the 3 types of highlighters, you can check out my post here!)

The two limited edition palettes include a Face Palette and an Eyeshadow Palette - today I am reviewing and swatching the Face Palette (and will review the Eyeshadow Palette right away too!)

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection ~ $59.00 CAN. The limited-edition Becca X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette has five shades of highlighter and blush to illuminate all skintones. Every shade was designed by Jaclyn Hill, to allow you to mix and match so you can create endless layers if light and color for the perfect custom glow.

I have turned in to one of those people who loves empties posts - mostly because I love looking back on each product I used and see if I loved it or not! I have a ton of products and I can sometimes forget about something I love, but not with my handy garbage posts! So, I hope you guys like it too! 

I used a surprising amount of makeup up this month, which is great!

May 2016 Month in Masks

As most of you know by now, my Skincare Routine is very important to me and masking is a huge part of that routine (and it is probably my favorite part of my skincare routine! 

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

For March and April I was really good about using masks at least every other day - I didn't do as great for May, so I will hopefully do much better next month!
