April 2020 - Monthly Empties and Month in Masks

Here is a look at my beauty garbage from April:

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder ~ $8.00 CAN. The Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder is a loose powder that helps absorb oil and excess sebum.

I just finished this up in my 20 in 2020 Project Pan - I've had this since 2015 and it was time to use it up. It's not a bad powder, but I'm just not super in to loose powders in my routine anymore. This was super fine and I thought it creased under my eyes a little.

January 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Yay - time for my first Shopping Haul of 2020! Early this year, I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - are you ready to see if I was able to do this?!? 

I always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)! I also am trying to hold myself a little more accountable to buying products that I really want and will actually use!

I purchased everything in this post

Oomomo Beauty Haul ~ $17.85 CAN. I finally got to check out the newly opened Oomomo in Calgary - it is a Japanese variety shop that had a ton of stuff! It was super cute and I will go back for sure! I picked up a few different 3D nail stickers (I just used them in a Manicure Monday here). Also, I practiced some self-restraint and only picked up 2 masks because they are Mediheal and I couldn't resist! 

Five on Friday - January 24, 2020

Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited that it is Friday because holy has it ever been a week! Ugh! 

ONE 

I try not to be too whiny or complainy on here; but, you guys it has been a rough week and I have been feeling pretty terrible all week! We had no hot water for 8 days - it finally got fixed yesterday and it could not be a better time. It's been wearing on me a little bit - cold showers are not pleasant (like I cried because I didn't get a Jilly Box and I yelled over my Beautylish bag) - it's just been a week! Also, Calgary was in this horrible -30 degree weather for a whole week too right as the water went so it's been a little painful. I need a relaxing weekend!

My oldest kid, Damian is turning 15 today! It's so hard to believe that he is 15, almost done Grade 9 and is going to high school later this year! It's crazy - he is an amazing, sweet, thoughtful boy! 

Masking - Last 50 Days Of My #100DaysofSheetMasks

Way back on August 1, I started a #100Daysofsheetmasks challenge with a fellow blogger, Jayne from Cosmetic Proof and the challenge went all the way to November 8. Basically, we wear a mask every day for 100 days straight! I shared my reviews and thoughts of my First 50 days on another post - you can check it out here if you are interested!

While I found the first 50 days really fun, I did actually think the second 50 days was quite hard to get to - it almost made masking feel a little like a chore to me (sadly), so I actually haven't used a sheet mask since I finished the 100 days! But, I certainly plan on starting again in moderation! And, this challenge was good and my skin certainly benefited from it, I think I'd do a month timeline as a max for the next round! 

Skincare Sunday #CBBGetsSheetFaced Week One Recap with Reviews - Mediheal, SNP, LookAtMe, Dermal, Lovemore, & A'Pieu

I'm super excited for this week's Skincare Sunday mask post; because, I'm not just reviewing one mask today, I'm reviewing seven! The whole month of February, Jayne from Cosmetic Proof and Chantal from Chantal's Corner and I are teaming up to use 28 masks in February and we are calling it #CBBGetsSheetFaced (which is hilarious!!!). Each week we have a different theme, and the first week's theme is Animals and Print masks! 

We are all planning on posting weekly recaps with our masks (mine will be Skincare Sundays); but, we are sharing our masks each night on our instagram stories, so you should follow along! (And, check out the hashtag as we have lots of other fellow CBBers jumping in sporadically throughout the month!)
