January 2018 - What I Bought This Month!

Happy Monthly Haul time! I have really enjoyed seeing what I buy every month! I like that I get to share everything I have purchased (because really some of it would get lost in my beauty collection if I didn't!) Also these posts helps to keep me on track - I am planning on trying to only spend around $100 per month on beauty since I am be on a smaller budget with a new baby! 

I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts, pr samples, and freebies are usually shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts! 

Now, let's be real I knew with my trip to California that I would not even be close to being on budget this month, so I did 2 little makeup auctions before leaving (from my declutter what I didn't donate/give to friends) and definitely earned some money for my trip! 

Here is a look at what I bought in January: 

Beautylish Lucky Bag ~ $93.75 US = $123.29 CAN. So, I technically pre-ordered this on December 26, but it didn't ship or arrive until January so it's in this month's haul! Every year Beautylish releases a Lucky Bag for $75.00 plus shipping and you are guaranteed at least $150.00 products worth of products - it's always a surprise what you get! I did a huge unboxing of what I received in my Lucky Bag with swatches of everything - you can check out the full post here! 

Superstore Travel Goodies ~ $8.41. I just had to pick up a few things for our trip - I pretty much have travel size products of everything except these products. I've never tried this hairspray so I will see how it is (it's just all they had). 

Sephora Order ~ $57.75. Okay, I could not resist placing an order when the new Too Faced peach palette - I feel like I must have ALL the peach palettes! This one is really unique to this collection too and I'm excited to play with it! Also, I love that the deluxe sample was the Too Faced Peach Primer - I have been eyeing this! 

Seacret Hair Brush ~ $33.60. This is the Seacret Pro Styling Hair Brush and it amazing! I have thin hair and it works so well - no pulling and no frizzing (especially while my hair is wet!) It is very gentle and that's why my hair dresser started using it on me and it I had to pick one up! 

HUGE U.S. Shopping Haul ~ $417.40 US. So, whoooops, I spent a little extra while I was in California - this is waaaay too much to talk about on this post, so I did a huge shopping haul post and you can check it out here for details on everything I picked up! 

So, for January I clearly went over budget spending about $640.45 - let's not even factor in my USD to CAN conversion because I might cry! I'm planning on a no-buy for February - fingers crossed!
