My 2020 Makeup Collection & Inventory!

There has been a big push in the last year or so in the beauty community to focus on your own makeup collections and using what you have. There have been a ton of No-Buys or Low-Buys, Project Panning and Shop Your Stash type posts. 

Personally, I have still been consuming a fair bit; but, I have been trying to be a little my conscious about what I'm bringing in to my collection overall (but I'm not amazing at sticking to a budget!) I have been shopping my stash, using monthly makeup baskets and palettes of the week, as well as project panning! So, while I'm not setting any goals in terms of having less at the end of the year, I just want to make sure that if I do end up with more products at the end of the year, that I really love them all! 

My collection does contain products received in PR

I love looking at people's makeup collection and thought I should combine a look at my collection while inventorying it all! I will say that my collection is spread out in a room (sorry guests, no room for you here - it's full of makeup) and it does help me use everything because I'm very visual!

Five on Saturday - November 16, 2019

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all had a great week - I love a short work week, but man do they ever feel extra busy?! I've had a crazy week and my toddler has been a total maniac too (up one day at 3:30 and didn't go back to bed and let's just say that I am happy it's the weekend!)

Some of these products were gifts and others in this post I purchased myself - this post contains affiliate links

Last week I turned 33 and I was awaiting a little Sephora order to come in before I shared my birthday gifts! I have been waiting forever for Erin Morgenstern to release her second book - I have actually read and listened to The Night Circus at least 5 or 6 times and it's easily my favourite stand alone book - it gets better and better every time I read it! So, I was very excited when I saw that The Starless Sea was being released 2 days before my birthday, I couldn't wait. Then, Erin announced back in September that she would be signing books and sending them through The Odyssey Bookshop - I immediately suggested to my husband what I perfect gift it would be and it arrived right in time for my birthday! (Also, a signed copy of The Night Circus too because it's so special to me).

May 2018 - Monthly Favorites!

Here is a look at my top 5 products I have been loving in May! 

Guerlain Meteorites Highlighting Powder Pearls in 02 Clair ~ $77.00 CAN. An illuminating powder made up of light-diffusing pearls that minimize flaws and add brightness to the skin. 

How have I not shared these on here before?! You can tell I'm getting low on these; but, I have had these for almost 4 years! I have loved these for a long time - I kind of go in and out of using these and this whole month, I have reached for no other finishing powders! This leaves the slightest glow to the skin and it just gives such a good finish! I know these are a little pricey; but, these last forever! I just dip in a big fluffy brush in this and sweep it over my face!

I have been with my husband's family in Fairmont for the week - they have a beautiful cabin on the river! If you follow me on Instagram (any if you don't - find me here @reneeclementine) then you have seen how gorgeous it is here! We don't have any wifi or anything so we have been enjoying a lot of family time!
