It's time for my monthly haul - I have really enjoyed seeing what I buy every month! I like that I get to share everything I have purchased (because really some of it would get lost in my beauty collection if I didn't!) Also these posts helps to keep me on track - I am planning on trying to only spend around $100 per month on beauty since I am be on a smaller budget with a new baby!
I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts, pr samples, and freebies are usually shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts!
Here is what I bought in November:
Sephora Order #1 ~ $52.08. Ahh.. the first of a few Sephora orders this month! This order was made during the first weekend of the VIB Rouge sale so everything here was 20%! I think I was fairly reasonable during the sale - I picked up another Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer because mine is running low. And, I picked up 2 new products - The Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist (because I really loved the smell of the Bum Bum cream), and the House of Lashes lash glue because why not try it on sale - I heard it is amazing! I also picked up the Tarte Birthday gift and 3 samples from Fresh Beauty and Verb!
Happy Mask Wednesday - I have actually tried this mask a couple of times now and I'm finally ready to review this one!
I have been looking for a new Turmeric mask since I have finished the Juara mask that I really liked - turmeric is really beneficial to the skin and is great for soothing, and brightening!
Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque ~ $50.00 for 100 ml or $22.00 for 28 ml. Our "instant facial" brightens and energizes the look of dull, fatigued skin to restore a healthy, rosy appearance. Formulated with Cranberry seeds and Turmeric, this invigorating masque helps soften skin and gently exfoliates it, for smoother, brighter, illuminated looking skin.
Happy Mani Day! So I know only 2 weeks ago I reviewed a couple lovely Unicorn nail polishes by Nails Inc (the Sparkle Like a Unicorn Duo) - check out the post here!; But, I was Sephora browsing and saw this gorgeous Sparkle Like A Unicorn Set that I could not pass up! I mean, it has a unicorn mask in it (and, 2 different Unicorn nail polishes!)
Nails Inc Sparkle Like A Unicorn Beauty Gift Set ~ $21.00 CAN. A gift set with everything you need to look and feel like the magical creature you are.
Being a human is too complicated—time to be a unicorn. Transform yourself from head to hoof with this out of this world beauty gift set. Start by treating your face with the illuminating Sparkle Like A Unicorn printed sheet mask. Next up, layer on the two mini nail polish shades: Unicorn Dot Com and Unicorn Vibes. Finish off your look with Lip Trippin’ Iridescent Strobe Lipstick in the shade Unicorn Tribe.
This is such an awesome set - seriously, a face mask, 2 mini nail polishes and a lipstick for $21.00?! This is a limited edition set, so if you have a unicorn lover in your life, this is a perfect little set to pick up for the holidays!
I have tried many mascaras over the years and rarely do I find one that does everything I want for my lashes - full thick lashes, lots of volume and nicely separated lashes! I also prefer a drier formula as I find I can apply 3 coats quickly without clumping. I have always been a 3 coat mascara person - even if it looks good after 1 coat, I will always add more! I want my lashes to stand out!
I am quite picky about my mascara if you can't tell already! I also prefer a full brush and do not like using the plastic bristles! Some past favorites that I love (for some comparisons) are Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes, Benefit BadGal Lash, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara and similar formulas to those!
L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara ~ $13.99 CAN (prices vary in stores and online). Voluptuous volume. Intense length. Full lash fringe. Feathery soft.
Take your lashes to paradise with voluptuous volume and intense length. Soft wavy bristle brush holds the maximum amount of formula. 200+ bristles catch every lash for a dramatic volumizing effect. Silky smooth formula glides on evenly and easily. This volumizing and lengthening mascara delivers a full lash fringe that's feathery soft. No flaking. No smudging. No clumping.
