November 2016 Month in Masks & Mask Empties

Masking is a huge part (and probably my favorite part) of my skincare routine! I try to use all types of masks as often as possible as I find they really help moisturize and improve my skin! 

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

My masking has really gone down hill over the past few months - pregnancy exhaustion will continue to be my excuse for now! I am still trying to pick it! Here is a look at the masks I used in November:

November 9

Maskingdom I Wish "Happy Birthday" Face Mask ~ $7.00. Spread the love of sheet masking and bless your loved ones with sheet mask from the Maskingdom I Wish series. Each mask contains natural extracts to care for their skin, and wishes to touch their heart. With each blessing, sheet masking can make the world go round! Each mask is made from 100% natural Japanese silk, both thin and form-fitting to deliver an abundance of moisture and nutrients deep into your skin.

November 2016 - Monthly Empties

Time to go through my trash and see what I loved and didn't in November! 

Giorgio Armani - Fluid Sheer ~ sample size (full size is $68.00). A cult-favorite, multitasking illuminator and complexion perfector. 

This was a Sephora sample and was in one of the lighter shades - I used it as an illuminator mixed in with foundation, but the shades can also be used as a highlighter, blush or bronzer. I did like the glow it gave, but think this is quite expensive and likely not worth the price tag! 
Repurchase: No

Manicure Monday - Candy Cane Striped Nails!

It's Manicure Monday and December, so it is time for Christmas themed nails! This week I am doing Candy Cane striped nails! 

This week's look is simple, but pretty and festive! 

Skincare Sunday - "Tree To Tub" Soapberri Co. Products

Happy Skincare Sunday! Today I'm featuring a unique brand - "Tree To Tub" Soapberri! This brand started on the premise of wanting to "change the way people clean by replacing harsh chemicals with nature's most gentle soap, the soapberry."

I have never heard of a Soapberry before! "A soapberry or soap nut is an ancient fruit of sub-tropical Asia like Taiwan, China, India and Nepal. The early peoples of these regions uncovered the fruit shells' ability to create a gentle, cleansing lather that's naturally anti-bacterial. For thousands of years, the soapberry has been used as nature’s miracle soap to cleanse and nourish our skin and hair."

Five on Friday - December 2, 2016

Happy Friday everyone! hope you all had a great week! Mine was a little busy this week, so I can say I am looking forward to the weekend!

Look at this amazing set of goodies that I won in a giveaway from Boxycharm and Starlooks!!! Wow - 3 full sized palettes?! I feel so lucky - I haven't really known anyone who has won one of these giveaways from a subscription box before! 

I do like the quality of Starlooks shadows - I have received a palette in the past from the Starlooks subscription! These have some really unique shades, which will go well in my collection!
