Best of 2023 ~ Top 10 Makeup Products I Tried This Year

I'm always excited to round up my MOST favourite products of the year - I always pull from any makeup that I've tried within the year whether it was released in 2023 or not, if I've tried it this year and loved it, it's in here!

With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! So, that is what I'm going to focus on for this year's Top 10 Favourites! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites - May 2023

 Here's what I've been loving this past month:

Last year I started just picking any number of products I'm loving, instead of trying to find 5 each month (which I did previously!) So, whatever number of products I'm loving, that's what I will be sharing. 

Monthly Beauty and Book Haul - April 2023

Last year I set a monthly beauty and books budget at $200 per month and I really stuck to it! I am trying to be thoughtful in my purchases, so this has been holding me accountable for being reasonable with my spending. Since it worked so well last year, I'm really trying to do the same thing this year! 

I do always love my Monthly Haul posts - it's a good way to keep track of everything that I picked up each 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!

Sephora Order ~ $70.35 CAN. I only made a small order during the Sephora sale - I really wanted to try out the Rare Beauty Lip Oil (full review post here) as well as a couple of Glossier products (also reviewed in a full post here!) I also grabbed a Sephora Collection velour puff that I've been using lately. The samples were the Tom Ford primer and the Amika shampoo and conditioner. 

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in Joy - Try-on and Review

Oooh I've been so impressed with the products that I've been trying from Rare Beauty - it's been a brand that's taken me a bit to get on the bandwagon, but they are really growing on me and I'm a fan!

Monthly Beauty and Book Haul - January 2023

Sephora Order ~ $126.00 CAN. I was really excited for some of these newer products at Sephora (especially that Rare Beauty highlighter!) - I did a full unboxing and first impressions of the products! First impressions of everything was good and the Rare Beauty Positive Light made my Monthly Favourites for January! So, good first haul of the year!
