Shop My Stash Makeup Look - February 2022 ~ Red & Peach Valentine's Day Look

Happy Tuesday everyone! I've been playing with makeup quite a bit lately and it's been so fun to create looks - it had been awhile, and I'm happy to make it a priority! This year, I really want to focus on using products in my collection, and so today's look is a fun Valentine's Day inspired makeup look!

I didn't go with the typical pink look for Valentine's Day, but instead I went with a red & peach look - I rarely play with reds and I love how this look came together! I always love a peachy look, so this was fun to do! (Was that too many "loves" in a sentence?! Or, never enough since it's love day soon?!)

Shop My Stash Makeup Look - January 2022 ~ Very Peri Eyeshadow Look

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm so so excited that this past weekend I was able to sit down and play with some makeup (it's been a little while!) I really want to focus on using products in my collection, and so today's look is a "Very Peri" eyeshadow look based on the 2022 Pantone Colour of the Year!

I don't have anything that it is quite "Very Peri" in my collection, but I have a lot of purples and some blues, so I thought I would be able to pull a look together, and honestly - I'm so happy with how this look came out! It's deep, but shimmery and pretty! It's a little more cool-toned than I normally go and I like it! 

Five on Friday - March 26, 2021 ~ Concrete Rose Book Review, March Owlcrate Box, Z Library, Baun Bon Cards and Palettes of the Week

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a great week! We are officially in to Spring and I always love Spring, it's time for everything to warm up and start growing and getting green (although, I remember that I live in Calgary and we will have snow and cold for the next month still!)

I'm keeping up with my promise of more book reviews this year - and, I feel like I'm having a really good reading year! I've already read over 25 books and I always have a mix of audiobooks, e-books, and physical books on the go! I really want to focus on books I'm loving and my second 5 star review of the year went to Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas! 

So, I own a physical copy of this book already; but, I did actually listen to this on audiobook and I would highly recommend that - the narrator did a fantastic job. Angie Thomas also wrote The Hate U Give and On The Come Up, and I enjoyed both of the books, so I was looking forward to this. Concrete Rose focuses on Starr's dad, Maverick Carter, 17 years before the events of THUG. So, even though you know the "outcome" or the eventual paths that Maverick chooses, it is still a fantastic read. This book just hit me with all the feels - I laughed, I cried, I did it all and it felt pretty powerful to me. So this book takes us back to Garden Heights with 17 year old Maverick in a very intense time in his life - he is raising a son that the mother has left with him, he loses a family member to a crime, and he is trying to decide on whether to get out or go deeper in the gang life he has been living. 

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!
