August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - and I've been stressing out trying to stick to it. Evidently I am not a "budget" type and I don't want to get myself worked up over it. One of the reasons I wanted to stick to a budget was so that I'm a little more conscious about my purchases and just make sure it's makeup that I will really like and I want to make sure that I can use and enjoy the products I have in my collection and that I will really use the products I picked up! 

I always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)!

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

XO Treatment Room ~ $87.15 CAN. This was my first time trying out XO Treatment Room skincare and I cannot wait to try more - spoiler alert, this was worth every penny I spent on this! It is a leave on pineapple exfoliator and it's so gentle yet effective! You can see a full review of this product here

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Cheekbone Beauty ~ $59.85 CAN. I picked up one of the new Face Palettes from Cheekbone Beauty - I got the Stardust Shimmer palette and I cannot wait to try this out and it will be up for review as soon as I do! This is a Canadian indigenous women owned brand and they are also focusing on sustainability and refillable packaging! 

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Biore Sunscreens ~ $36.95 CAN. These are my favourite sunscreens - I have a few face sunscreens on the go right now, so I picked these up as back ups! This is a really easy to wear, gel formula and it's so good on the face! 

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Lush Beauty Sleep Mask ~ $47.36 CAN. This was an ebay find and I'm so happy I got this (even though I paid enough for it!) This was only available in the June Lush Kitchen subscription box (which I skipped) and I was so sad I missed it, so I had to pick it up! It's such a lovely mask and it smells great! I don't think I will do a full review of this because it isn't available, but it is going to pop up in a post soon! 

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Amethyst Roller ~ $39.20 CAN. I was in a gem shop in Invermere and I couldn't resist this roller! I have a little jade roller, but these are huge and this one was too lovely to pass up! These are so nice to cool and use nightly! 

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

The Body Shop Banana Hair Products ~ $16.80 CAN. I stopped by the Body Shop store in Banff and I couldn't resist picking these up - these are some of my favourite shampoo and conditioner and I tried out a different brand that's not working well for me right now, so I picked up some replacements. 

August 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

September Scratch Monthly Mani Kit ~ $20.24 CAN. This was the 50th set of wraps by NinaNailedIt and Scratch and always love to subscribe when they have floral wraps! These ones are so gorgeous! 

So, I spent $307.55 - thank goodness I don't have to go through months ahead and try and figure out how to balance the budget down the road. I don't think I've purchased anything unreasonable this month, so I'm not feeling guilty about this month's spending!
