My 2023 Makeup Collection & Inventory

I've been taking inventory of my makeup collection for the past couple of years - I really wanted to actually see how much makeup I own, but also to track if I'm using things up and how that counteracts the new product that I'm bringing in to my collection! 

I absolutely love looking at other people's makeup collection and thought I should combine a look at my collection while inventorying it all! I will say that my collection is spread out in a room (sorry guests, no room for you here - it's full of makeup) and it does help me use everything because I'm very visual, so I like to have it all displayed to remind myself to use everything! 

Some products were received as PR samples 

Primers = 4 (was 4) ~ I've been really great about not buying many products I don't need this past year or two, and honestly primers last forever! I think I finished one more and purchased one this year. This is a good amount in this category. 

Five on Friday - December 30, 2022 ~ Christmas, Gifts, December Month of Vegetarian/Pescatarian Meals, Declutter and End of the Year Plans

Happy Friday everyone - hope you all had a great week! I've been super productive this week as I had a few days alone, so I cleaned and decluttered my whole house and it feels so good to go in to the New Year totally refreshed!

Some things shown in this post are gifts, everything else I purchased myself

I hope you all had an amazing holiday - we had a fantastic Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve at my inlaws house with the family and it was a blast. We do a little white elephant gift exchange and had a great time and the kids do a little exchange, so always fun. Christmas morning with the boys was amazing and then we did dinner at my Moms house! 

Monthly Reading Wrap-up ~ December 2022 + End of the Year Book Freakout Tag

This year I thought I would share a little more of all my books and I thought the best way to do that would be if I wrapped up my reads of each month, so I can share mini reviews on all the books I've gone through! 

It could be a big range from 2 to 10 books depending on how much I read, but I figure I can share a little synopsis and quick thoughts on each book. I will still be doing more in depth reviews on books that really capture me! 

I purchased everything in this post - this post contains affiliate links

So, in December I read 9 books - a mix of genres from young adult sci-fi to adult romance. I love most genres, and I really want to keep my reads diversified this year - I think I have been doing a great job of that so far! Also, I've been trying to read a mix of old and new books, which I've done a good job at so far all year, but this month has been mostly new reads trying to catch up on books I wanted to get in this year. I read 7 audio books, and 2 physical book (with no e-books this month!)

Monthly Beauty Favourites - December 2022

Here's a look at the things I was loving this past month:

The concealer was received as a PR sample

I used to always have pick 5 products each month for my Monthly Favourites, but that is one thing I'm changing this year - whatever I'm loving, I will share whether it's 2 or 10 products!

Manicure Tuesday - Sparkly New Years Nails

Happy Manicure Tuesday everyone - I hope you all had an amazing holiday! I'm looking forward to the week off of work this week!

The OPI polish was received as a PR sample

I know I'm coming with these a little bit late, but of course, Christmas has our timelines all messed up - we are in the twilight zone between Christmas and New Years, so who really knows what day it is anyways?!
