Happy Monthly Shopping Haul time! I hope you guys enjoy seeing my shopping - for me it's a way of sharing everything I pick up; because, honestly I buy so much stuff that some doesn't get talked about at all until it appears in an empties post! But, if there is ever anything you want to see a full post on, just let me know and I will do it!!!
Also, I do "try" to stick to a monthly budget of $100, and these posts are supposed to keep me in check! (Haha - supposed to, being the key word! I am clearly a beauty addict!) 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!
For February, I was supposed to be on a "no-buy" or a really low-buy (but, I broke it slightly because I got a new job and thought I deserved a present!)
Here is a look at what I bought in February:
Sephora Shopping ~ $10.50 CAN (would have been $47.25 CAN). I have been wanting to try this foundation for a while - I am on the tail end of a few foundations and then I'm going to try this! I had a gift card that couldn't be used online, so I finally got to use it! Plus, I picked up samples of the Farsali Rose Gold Elixir and the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Skin Booster because I have been loving my Smashbox Primer Oil and wanted to try a few new ones!
Here are the 5 things I have been loving this month:
Too Faced White Peach Eye Shadow Palette ~ $55.00 CAN. A matte, shimmer and glitter eyeshadow palette infused with peach and sweet fig cream.
I have to start by saying that this is not a palette for everyone; but, I'm a big fan! I know this is an overall really light toned palette - there isn't a lot of medium toned transition shades or deep shades. But all that considered - for me, this is an actual every day go-to palette (especially when I go back to work in April)! For every day looks I really just go with a simple, light and pretty eye looks so I don't need a lot of deep shadows as I prefer every day looks without.
Happy Manicure Monday! I haven't been feeling super inspired with nail art lately because my nails are sooo short and I always find nail art harder with little nails! But, I went through my Instagram searching for inspiration and went waaaay out of my comfort zone with this Mani (and I love it!)
I take no credit for the design of these nails - this is all NinaNailedIt inspired - I have talked about her nails a bunch of times! She is basically a nail art goddess (and she partners with Scratch for their Monthly Mani Kit designs). So, thank you Nina for giving my inspiration and getting me out of my comfort zone!
Boxycharm is a beauty subscription box for $21.00 US a month + $5.00 shipping to Canada (shipping is free to the U.S.) Boxycharm sends 4 to 5 full size and luxury size beauty items.
This subscription focuses heavily on make-up items - so that is something to keep in mind! While it is a little pricier than the more inexpensive beauty boxes, the majority of the products are full size, with a deluxe sample every once in a while.
Every subscriber generally receives the same products, but their is usually 1 or 2 items that have a few variations, so our boxes may not be identical!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have all had a great week!
ONE
On this week, I had a job interview for a position in my workplace for when I go back to work! I thought I would share my go-to interview makeup! I work in a conservative workplace, so I think really neutral look is good that brightens the eyes and looks professional! And, in a time like this, I always rely heavily on my holy grails and favorites so I know they work well and look great! (But, I had a couple of stress blemishes that I needed to coverup as well).
