October 2022 - Monthly Favourites

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

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!

Halloween Makeup - Princess Peach Look (Shop My Stash)

 Happy Halloween everyone! If you guys have been around for a few years, you know we take our Halloweens pretty seriously (or at least - I take my Halloween pretty seriously and everyone else in the house puts up with it!)

I do try and plan my costumes around what my kids want to be and when Elliott said that he wanted to be Luigi, I knew my dreams of Princess Peach were finally answered! 

Five on Friday - July 29, 2022 ~ Terra Moons Celestial Equinox Quad, Kiko Milano Mood Boost Radiant Blush in Perfect Mauve, Kiko Milano Fruit Explosion Eyeshadow Palette in Rose Alchemy, Fenty Beauty Resting Peach Face Cream Blush & Mini Gloss Bomb Cream, and Kiko Milano Winter Sales Eyeshadow Palette 03 Sunset Time

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a good week - I've been computer-less enjoying a week at the cabin with all the family! 

Since I'm away, I'm skipping a life update for my Five on Friday post (and will save my update for next Friday!) and instead I'm sharing and swatching 5 palettes that I've been keeping in my collection for a while and totally missed getting reviews up on them in a timely fashion! 

ONE 

Terra Moons Cosmetics UO Exclusive Celestial Eyeshadow Set ~ $24.00 CAN. Eyeshadow set by Terra Moons Cosmetics for Urban Outfitters, featuring four pressed pans of shades inspired by the celestial elements. 

This was an exclusive set for Urban Decay - they've previously had a couple of sets with them and they were little sets of pre-existing shades, so when I found out they were all brand new, I knew I had to pick them up! The shadows are stunning and the Harvest Moon shade even made my Favourites one month last year. I have played with them, but didn't get a review in time, so now this set isn't available, but I always like to have swatches saved in case these things do come back! 

Beauty Gift Sets That Caught My Eye This Year - Last Minute Gifts and Stocking Stuffers for Beauty Lovers

I haven't done very many holiday posts this year - the holidays still feel a little different and I know my family is trying to keep things local or smaller this year for the holidays, so I imagine we aren't the only ones going that route.

But, of course, as a beauty lover, there was still a few little fun sets that caught eye this year. Personally, what I like in a beauty set is a low price range with a mix of a couple new to me products from a brand I'm interested in trying more from! Or, a few of my favourites from a brand I love will also hook me! 

Monthly Beauty Haul ~ November 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!

Adrienne Furrie ~ $90.30 CAN. I went to a beauty and fashion event in Calgary with a local makeup artist and designer - I had never heard about the brand before, but I'm so excited to try these products out. I picked up a concealer, cream blush and liquid shadow and hope to try them right away!
