Manicure Monday - Pot of Gold Nails

Happy Manicure Monday - can you believe that we are already half way through March?! It is just flying by! And, it's already almost St. Patrick's Day!

I rarely do anything for St. Patrick's Day; and of course this year there isn't anything going on; but, this year I thought we would have a little fun with the day and we've set up a Leprechaun trap with a pot of gold - do you think we will catch one?! 

March Shop My Stash ~ Green Makeup Look

March always has me feeling green - it's probably St. Patrick's Day, but it's the perfect occasion to pull out all the green makeup and play!

I rarely wear green eyeshadows; but, honestly, every time I do a green look, I love how it turns out! I really need to start reaching for greens more! (I even pulled out a green highlighter for the occasion - and by occasion, I really mean doing nothing, because here we are, 1 year in to the pandemic!)

Monthly Beauty Favourites - February 2021

Here's a look at what I was loving in February:

I didn't actually try a ton of new things in February and stuck to a pretty basic routine, but the few new things I did try I ended up really liking, so I have a good little mix of makeup, skincare and nails this month! 

Creme de la Creme Beauty Lounge Custom Lipstick & Makeup in Sherwood Park, Alberta

In December I was sent to Edmonton, AB for some work training and I was pretty excited to pay a visit to the Creme de la Creme Beauty Lounge to create a custom lipstick! The brand was brought to my attention when a few fellow Canadian bloggers shared about them last year - they are an Alberta beauty brand and everything is made in their shop! What's really fun about the brand is that they focus on artisan bespoke makeup! 

I purchased everything in this post

What I didn't realize until I got there, was that everything is made fresh as you order it! I thought just the custom lipstick would be made in front of me, but as I picked out an eyeshadow and nail polish, I was so surprised that they were made right then and there in the store! 

Monthly Haul - What I Bought in December 2020

I always enjoy my Monthly Haul posts, so I can share with you everything I picked up in the month; because, as much as I try to, I can't share every single thing I picked up all the time! 

With my purchases, I'm just trying to the being more conscious about my purchases and just make sure it's makeup that I will really like before buying it! 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!

House of Creme de la Creme Haul ~ $134.82 CAN. I was in Edmonton earlier in December for a work trip, and I was so excited to pay a little visit to Creme de a Creme Beauty Lounge - I made a custom lipstick shade (and actually got a full second tube!) Then, they had a buy 2, get 1 free on lashes (plus got an extra pair thrown in for free!) Then, I picked up a polish, and it was made right in shop in front of me - you can see the shade Absinthe on me in a Manicure Monday post here! And, I picked up a single shadow as well - I can't wait to share a full post on these products and my experience at the Beauty Lounge soon!
