Monthly Beauty Haul - April 2021

I always love these haul posts - it's a way to keep track of everything that I picked up every month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

Last year, I got a little crazy about trying to stick to a crazy budget and this year I'm just going to buy what I want and try and be reasonable about my purchases! 

(Also, I'm only sharing what I received every month now since I'm not trying to stick to a crazy budget, so some things I ordered in April will show up in my May haul now if they don't show up on time, ect!)

I purchased everything in this post

April Lush Kitchen Subscription Box ~ $95.68 CAN. I love getting this fun subscription from Lush every month - you can check out my blog post here to see a little bit more about everything in this month's box! These are pricey with the exchange because of shipping from the UK, so how do we get Lush North America in the subscription business!

The Funnest Skincare Product of 2019

Yesterday was all about my Favourite product of the year, but as I was collecting everything I loved this year, I had another standout product and it was by far the funnest group of products I used all year - body masks! 

All the products featured in this post were purchased by me

Earlier in the year, a little group of beauty bloggers decided to do a month where we tried all different masks for different body parts and I went off the deep end trying these and they were so much fun! 

May 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Here's a look at my May makeup garbage (I know it's a little late ok):

Some products may have been received as PR samples or in giveaways - this post contains affiliate links

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ~ sample size shown here (full size is $26.00 CAN). A leave-on lip mask that soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight.

This lip sleeping mask is amazing! It made my Best of 2018 Makeup products because it was so good! This little sample lasted me for a couple of weeks, so this was a handy little sample and this is the best formula!

Repurchase: YES!

May 2019 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Time for a look at everything I picked up this month - I really love these Monthly Haul posts - they give me a way to share everything I pick up each month as I don't always post about everything I get!

For 2019, I put myself on stricter $100 a month budget , not because I need to; it's actually more to test myself and be more conscious about what I purchase. I also really want to make sure that I'm enjoying and using everything on my collection!

(Let's note before we get in to it, I spent more than I intended on spending; and dipped in to June's budget early - I will save it for next month though) But, I'm happy with the purchases, but I would like to be a little more responsible for next month! 

Iceland Blue Lagoon Mask ~ $50.00 CAN. So, this product was a total extra splurge and I knew that I was allowing myself to purchase this outside of my budget as I love a good mask splurge. I had a friend travelling to Iceland and going to the Blue Lagoon and offered to bring me back a mask! So, this is really cool and I'm very excited to try this out!
