Beautylish Lucky Bag 2022 Unboxing

Every year on Boxing Day (or December 26 for you non-Canadians), Beautylish releases the pre-order for their Lucky Bags which ships in January - if you are interested, these sell out quickly on the day of so make sure your ready on that date! These boxes are $94.00 CAN + $18.45 shipping to Canada; but, you are guaranteed at least $200.00 CAN worth of makeup and skincare. They are all totally random, so it is a complete surprise what you get, and I love surprises! Some bags are extra lucky and include gift cards, etc. 

I picked up the regular lucky bag for fair/medium skin. There was also XL lucky bags, Jeffree Star Lucky Bags, and a Buy One Gift One as other options. I'm a total sucker for these mystery boxes and this is my 4th year getting one - you can see my past unboxings here!

Here is a look at my 2022 Beautylish Lucky Bag:

The Lucky Bags are described as "Lucky Bags are a Japanese New Year custom that inspired up to create our own. The shisa on this year's Lucky Bag are known as guardians in Okinawa, Japan. They are said to ward off evil spirits while keeping good spirits in. We hope the surprises inside invite you to leave the bad behind and take the good with you in to 2022."

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!

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! 

ColourPop The Mandalorian "The Child" Baby Yoda Shadow Palette + Other Newer ColourPop Goodies!

Okay, I will just put it out there early - I'm a Mandalorian fan and every episode, every time Baby Yoda comes on the screen, I comment about how stinkin' cute he is. So when I saw this ColourPop eyeshadow palette and how adorable it is, I HAD to have it!

I'm not often drawn to green eye shadows, but in addition to thinking the packaging was so adorable, I actually like the olivey-green neutral vibe this palette has! The shades are really pretty! (This palette is currently out of stock, but they are doing a restock on November 27, so if you are interested it will be available again soon!)

For the month of July, the Canadian Beauty Bloggers group is featuring Canadian Brands all month long, and I thought what better way than to share my top 10 products from Canadian beauty brands that I currently have in my collection!

I have a good mix of skincare and makeup products from a mixture of large and small brands! I know there is a ton of amazing Canadian brands out there and I can't touch on them all here, which is why I'm focusing on only the products that are currently in my collection! I've used other amazing products from great Canadian brands in the past and they are still loved!
