I just unboxed my October Ipsy Glambag and in that post I mentioned in that post that I re-signed up just to try out this new version of Ipsy - the Icon Box!

Best Product Discoveries of 2022 - Hair, Skincare and Body

I always love rounding up my favourite products of the year - I just completed my Favourite Makeup of 2022 and I'm excited to share the rest of the best products I tried this year! (Also, I do mean what I tried this year - some products were not released this year!

I personally didn't try a ton of new products all year - I'm really working on trying something and using it all up before trying too many other new products in the same category! With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! 

Monthly Beauty and Book Haul ~ November 2022

I'm switching up my Monthly Haul posts a little bit this year, because I'm actually *trying* to stick to a bit of a budget! I've been going a little crazy on the beauty and books front, so I just want to be a little more thoughtful in my purchases. So. I'm trying to keep my beauty and book purchases to $200 a month - we'll see! 

I do always love my Monthly Haul posts - it's a good way to keep track of everything that I picked up each 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! 

Shoppers Finds ~ $0.00 CAN. Okay, I love using my PC Optimum points at Shoppers - I had to pick up some gifts, medicine and a few other things, so I used all my points to get these for free. I'm excited to try the ELF Putty Bronzer and I love picking up these Benefit brow holiday sets - they do always have a great value! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites - November 2022

Here's a look at the things I was loving this past month:

I used to always have pick 5 products each month for my Monthly Favourites, but that is one thing I'm changing this year - whatever I'm loving, I will share whether it's 2 or 10 products!
