November 2017 - What I Bought This Month!

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!

Mask Wednesday - Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque Review

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! 


Mask Wednesday - Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque Review

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.

Manicure Tuesday Bonus Post - Nails Inc. Sparkle Like A Unicorn Set (Nail Polish Swatches, Lipstick Swatches and a Mask Review!)

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!)

L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara - Try-on and Review!

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 - Try-on and Review!

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.

Stila Written in the Stars Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set - Diamond Dust, Kitten Karma and Smoky Storm ~ Swatches and Thoughts

I'm one of those people that doesn't really get why Holiday makeup sets come out in September; because, I can't talk about them until November and December! I absolutely love Christmas; but, I'm also a pretty die hard Halloween fan so I just have to wait until the day after Halloween to talk Christmas anything - even makeup! 

But, then we run in to a problem with so Holiday sets - if they are super limited edition, then by the time I talk about them in November, they may be harder to find! 

Stila Written in the Stars Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set - Diamond Dust, Kitten Karma and Smoky Storm ~ Swatches and Thoughts

Stila Written in the Stars Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set ~ $33.00 CAN. Add starry-eyed sparkle this holiday season with this trio of long-wearing, lustrous eye shadows. The perfect mix of pearl and glitter adorns eyes with incredible sequin-like shine. Includes three deluxe sizes of our favorite dazzling shades.

I think this is one of those Christmas sets that was not in stock very long - I randomly came across it in stock on Sephora (I had a email reminder set and did not get the in stock email!) so I scooped it up right away! I don't think it was in stock very long, because I haven't seen it back!

Five on Friday - November 24, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week - I have been out and about every day this week so it just flew by! I plan on going a little slower for the weekend - a basketball game, a girl's brunch and that's about it! 

ONE

Yay I won another giveaway! This one was with Cosmetic Proof and Omorovicza and I'm really excited about it! First, if you haven't checked out Jayne's blog - check her out! She is on my weekly blog reading list - she features nails, k-beauty, skincare and makeup (everything I love!) And, I won a deluxe sample of Midnight Radiance Mask by Omorovicza - full size this is $155! Whoa - I'm hoping this is amazing!

Winky Lux Kitten Palette - Review, Swatches and Makeup Look!

Okay, okay - don't take this as a cop out post! I did just share my quick thoughts on this palette in my November Boxycharm post; but, if I'm being honest I know there are some people who aren't interested in subscription box reviews, so I thought I would share a closer look at this palette! 


Winky Lux Kitten Palette - Review, Swatches and Makeup Look!

Winky Lux Kitten Palette ~ $25.00 US. Inspired by the velvety feel of our feline friends, these ultra soft shadows glide on like a dream. The universally flattering collection of shades makes this palette as lovable as a kitten. 

Winky Lux is a new brand to me - I have only had it pop up in a couple of Boxycharm boxes. Winky Lux is a newer brand (about 2 years) that is dedicated to creating non-toxic, cruelty free, paraben free, and phtalate free makeup that is richly pigmented at a reasonable price point.

Mask Wednesday - Tony Moly Master Lab "Intensive Moisturizing Ultra Collagen" Mask Sheet

Happy Mask Day! I am always interested in trying new masks from brands that I'm really familiar with - especially, when they are more expensive with greater claims! You know, like are they better? Are they worth the extra money? I plan to test that out with a Master Lab mask from Tony Moly! 


Mask Wednesday - Tony Moly Master Lab "Intensive Moisturizing Ultra Collagen" Mask Sheet

Tony Moly Master Lab Sheet Mask - Intensive Moisturizing Ultra Collagen ~ $9.00 US for a set of 2 masks. Our Master Lab Sheet Mask Collection features an ultra thin hydrating sheet mask made of natural cellulose for even and consistent absorption of active ingredients! Each Mask features a customized formula that targets specific skin concerns.

This mask uses a cellulose material as opposed to a regular pulp or cotton sheet mask. I love a cellulose mask - they are super soft and well fitting on the face. And hands down, I would pay more for a better quality sheet.

November 2017 - Boxycharm Unboxing, Swatches, Full Try-on and Review!

Boxycharm is a beauty subscription box for $21.00 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! (I personally love all the makeup though and they have sent full size palettes in the past!) 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! 

Here is a look at my November Boxycharm:

November 2017 - Boxycharm Unboxing, Swatches, Full Try-on and Review!

This month's Theme is "Sweater Weather" which seems appropriate for November! Boxycharm always includes a detailed product card explaining the items that were included in each month's subscription.

Kailijumei Flower Lipstick in Flame Red - Try on and Review!

Okay, I know the pretty flower jelly lipsticks aren't new anymore; but, I'm still dying to try them! I jumped on the bandwagon a few months ago and picked up a lippie from the original creator of the Jelly Flower lipsticks - Kailijumei!

Kailijumei Lipstick in Flame Red ~ $22.00 US - currently on sale for $14.00 US. The lipsticks will change according to your ph level. They all swatch the same colour. The names are correspondent to the flowers, not the color is swatches.

Five on Friday - November 17, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week - mine was a little busy but good! I think i'm getting repetitive; but, the baby is teething again this week and has had a few rough nights! So, the days seem to be longer when there is something on the go and I am getting less sleep! Enough complaining though, here are some highlights from my week:

ONE  

I just received my package from the CBB Secret Santa! Every year a group of beauty bloggers get together and swap gifts - we usually swap makeup; but, my little wishlist had everything from makeup to teas to books! I already tried the Pluck Icewine Berry and it's so good! Plus, 13 Reasons Why was on my to-read list and the mug so cute! 

Plus, my Santa chose to remain anonymous, so thanks to my Secret Santa!

Smashbox Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlight Palette Set Review ~ Ablaze Cover Shot, Sultry Cover Shot & Pearl Spotlight Palettes!

'Tis the season for all the amazing beauty holiday sets! I'm not going to lie, in general I wasn't feeling a ton of brands holiday sets - I find them to be a little repetitive and this year there wasn't a lot that jumped out at me!  

Insert the exception - Smashbox! This Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlight Palette set looked amazing! I had been eyeing the Smashbox Ablaze Cover Shot palette for a while and it was sold out for so long that it slipped my mind for a while! But, then I saw it in this set and had to have it! In addition to including 3 beautiful palettes (1 limited edition and exclusive to this set) it was a fantastic deal! 


Smashbox Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlight Palette Set Review ~ Ablaze Cover Shot, Sultry Cover Shot & Pearl Spotlight Palettes!

Smashbox Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlight Palette Set Review ~ $48.00 CAN. This set of palettes brings you three highlight shades and 16 on-trend eye shadow shades. It’s everything you need to create makeup looks that range from holiday parties to everyday chic. 

Now, this may be a little repetitive for some people - if you already jumped on the Ablaze bandwagon, or purchased the Spotlight Pearl highlight palette when it was released, then you might not be thrilled with this set. But, for me it is not because all 3 of these are new to me! The Ablaze Cover Shot palette is absolutely gorgeous - just what I expected! The Sultry Cover Shot palette is really pretty as well. Plus, I'm a fan of he highlight shades - they certainly won't work for all skin shades; but, they work well for me.

Mask Wednesday - Aprilskin Magic Snow Mask Try-on and Review!

I don't know about where you are; but, here in Calgary it is full-blown Winter. Snow everywhere and cold! So, doesn't it seem appropriate that I use a mask this week called Magic Snow?! 

Mask Wednesday - Aprilskin Magic Snow Mask Try-on and Review!

AprilSkin Magic Snow Mask ~ $25.00 US for a box of 10. Magic Snow Mask is infused with 19 naturally derived ingredients including Sparassis crispa extract to nourish dry and dull skin, and achieve a brighter and refreshing complexion. 

I received this mask in an In8Beauty subscription and I'm always in to trying new masks and different brands! Aprilskin is a new brand to me! I love their packaging - of course, snow would be great for brightening and moisturizing the skin!

Manicure Tuesday - Nails Inc Unicorn Nail Polish Duo "Rainbow Wishes" and "Dream Dust" Swatches

Happy Mani Day everyone! I know some people are feeling over the whole Unicorn trend; but, I could not resist these Unicorn nail polishes from Nails Inc! They are so gorgeous! So I think whether your still feeling the unicorns or not, you are going to be intrigued by these polishes! 


Manicure Tuesday - Nails Inc Unicorn Nail Polish Duo "Rainbow Wishes" and "Dream Dust" Swatches

Nails Inc Sparkle Like a Unicorn Duo ~ $16.00 CAN. Give your hooves an iridescent makeover with this gleaming duo. Choose from two unicorn looks: dreamy, soft sheen rainbow or blinding sparkle with 3D pigment. Wear them alone or together for full unicorn magic. Both polishes have been formulated with a long-wear system and feature the NAILS INC. wide brush for flawless application. 

One of the best part about buying this duo is that this comes with 2 full sized nail polishes and is the price of 1 full sized Nails Inc polish! Plus, both of these polishes are stunning! I would have bought them likely regardless of the unicorn branding because they are really unique shades (especially Rainbow Wishes!)

Viseart Petit Pro 1 Eyeshadow Palette - Review, Swatches and Makeup Look!

I have been wanting to try Viseart for forever; but, it's quite an expensive brand - it's hard to justify spending $100 on a palette without having tried the brand before! Also, I love when brands have mini palettes; because, I love travel size palettes and they are so cute an easy to come up with shadow combos! 


Viseart Petit Pro 1 Eyeshadow Palette - Review, Swatches and Makeup Look!

Viseart is a high-performance makeup line that uses the best of plant-based natural resources with modern technology to create quality makeup that naturally enhance the skin! Again, this is a high quality brand and there palettes are not inexpensive, but if they are high quality then I wouldn't hesitate to buy more from the brand!

Skincare Sunday - Vichy Makeup Removing Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

Happy Skincare Sunday everyone! I don't consider myself a super picky person; but, for some reason I really struggle to find face wipes that I like for my skin and actually remove all my makeup! I have only found one or to that work really well - I find most are too dry or just don't work on all my makeup. 

I was excited when I heard that Vichy just released some new makeup removing micellar wipes! I have my fingers crossed that these work well! 


Skincare Sunday - Vichy Makeup Removing Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

Vichy Makeup Removing Micellar Cleansing Wipes ~ $14.95 for a pack of 25 wipes. A one-step cleansing solution that cleanses, removes waterproof makeup for the face, eyes & lips while soothing the skin.

These are hypoallergenic and are free of fragrance, alcohol and parabens so they are suitable for all over the face, including eyes and are gentle enough for sensitive skin! They claim to remove all impurities from the skin, plus remove all traces of makeup including waterproof makeup!

Travel Post - Orlando, Florida ~ Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Swimming With Manatees!

I'm going to take a little break from Beauty posts today and share some fun travel bits! I love to travel; but, I don't do it very often! We usually take a small trip every year or two (think a few days or week in California), with big trips (Hawaii, Honeymoon) every few years.

It's no secret that my family looooves going to Disney - or at least my husband and I do, the verdict is still out on my older son (and the baby will decide in January whether or not he likes it!). But, I really wanted to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Florida (they do have a small bit in Universal Studios Hollywood; but, I think any true Harry Potter fan needs to see the huge set up in Florida!) Also, as a true Disney fan, I really wanted to check out Disney World and the 4 Disney parks! 


Travel Post - Orlando, Florida ~ Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Swimming With Manatees!

Three years ago (to the month) I planned a huge trip to Florida - and, I'm talking PLANNED! The first thing you need to know about Disney World is that it would be very difficult just to wing it. Disneyland is much smaller and can easily be an unplanned, quick trip; but, Disney World in Florida is not small. Think, it has 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, golf courses and over 20 hotels - it's huge!! Disney recommends you plan at least 6 months in advanced and after planning a trip myself, I would vouch that you should be planning at least 6 months in advance, if not a little longer - I was planning 9 to 12 months out.

Five on Friday - November 10, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week! 

ONE 



This past week I celebrated my 31st Birthday - on Nov.7! It was really quiet - we went shopping during the day, ordered in from our favorite Indian restaurant and had a yummy bottle of wine! We also had a couple family dinners! Nice and quiet!

October 2017 - Monthly Favorites!

Here is what I have been loving in October:

October 2017 - Monthly Favorites!

Viseart EyeShadow Palette Petit PRO ~ $40.00. An eight-shade eyeshadow palette in versatile pigment rich colors in matte, satin, and shimmer textures—curated from Viseart’s heritage Parisian formulas. 

I had been waiting for a long time for this to be in stock for months and finally I got my hands on it and it is lovely! The shadows are soft and blendable and have just enough pigmentation that they show and are not too hard to work with! Love! I have a review of this coming up soon!

Mask Wednesday - Saturday Skin Spotlight Brightening Mask Try-on and Review!

Happy Mask Day everyone - I am really excited to share today's mask with you guys! I have been looking forward to trying the brand Saturday Skin! 

Saturday Skin is a really based on the idea of #SaturdaySkin - think sleeping in, brunch with friends, and the rest of the day to relax - basically, you are happy and it shows on your skin! 

Mask Wednesday - Saturday Skin Spotlight Brightening Mask Try-on and Review!

Saturday Skin is targeted a women in their 20's and 30's and is meant to be preventative, high-performance skincare! This line was created by the scientists at CHAUM - an iconic Korean wellness centre. The secret to the whole line is Saturday's Skin is their signature patented ingredient, Cha-7 es Complex™. This is waaaay to scientific for me to explain; but, it has to do with 7 peptides that helps support the regenerative process of the skin!

October 2017 - 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!

Here is a look at the masks I used in October:

October 2017 - Month in Masks & Mask Empties!
October 2
Purlisse Blue Lotus + White Tea Treatment Sheet Mask ~ 6 masks for $36.00 ($6.00 each). 

This mask smelled really good and it worked decently on my face. It was a bit thicker of a mask but it did brighten my skin. It was good, but not the most amazing mask that I have ever tried. At $6 each - it should be pretty good. I can find better for less $!
Repurchase: Not likely...

Manicure Monday - Essie Gel Couture in "Berry In Love"

Happy Manicure Monday! I have already RAVED about the Essie Gel Couture line - you can see my first impression thoughts here and then my impressions after a week of wearing the polish here

I don't normally jump on the nail polish trend bandwagon - I like to do my own nail thing; but, I could not resist the hottest trend of Fall and that is beautiful, berry nails! 


Manicure Monday - Essie Gel Couture in "Berry In Love"

Essie Gel Couture's Berry In Love is a deep berry creme polish and the polishes and the top coat are $10.95 each on Nail Polish Canada. I love these because they wear like a gel polish - last well up to 2 weeks with no chips from previous wear, and the brush is lovely to use! This shade itself takes 3 coats to full cover and the shade is stunning!

Skincare Sunday - Neal's Yard Remedies Bee Lovely Body Butter Review

Neal's Yard Remedies has a lovely skincare line "Bee Lovely" that is going to be amazing for my dry Winter skin! And bonus, a portion of every sale from the full line goes to projects to help saves the bees!

October 2017 - Monthly Empties!

Let's take a look at my beauty garbage from October:

The Face Shop Fresh Cleansing Wipes ~ $15.00.

I love these Face Wipes - I reviewed them here and they made my Monthly Favorites in August! They are vey saturated and actually work to remove all makeup types, including mascara and liquid lipsticks! Love! 
Repurchase: Yes I need to! 

Friday, November 3, 2017

Five on Friday - November 3, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! Can you believe it is November already?! It certainly feels like it - Winter came in full force this week in Calgary! It is snowy and cold here! 

Also, November is National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) and I have challenged myself (along with a few CBBers) to post every day for the whole month! I post a fair bit already so I am hoping you like the extra posts this month!)

ONE



I have had this little Dragon costume for Elliott for a while and I had to be the Mother of Dragons and have my husband be Jon Snow! We are huge Game of Thrones fans - read all the books and watched all the seasons, so it was a must! I really tried to get Damian to be a skeleton dragon, but it wasn't scary enough for him! He wanted to be Freddy Fazbear from Five Night's at Freddys!

October 2017 - What I Bought This Month!

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 October: 

1st Sephora Order ~ $53.03. Ah, again there is more than 1 Sephora order this month! I really wanted this Stila Written in the Stars - it comes with 3 of their glitter liquid shadows that I have been wanting to try for a while! I also grabbed a couple of sheet masks (because, can I even put in a shopping order without buying a sheet mask?!) I already reviewed the Too Cool For School Pumpkin 24K Gold Mask - you can see my full review on this mask here! I l have really been wanting to try the Saturday Skin mask and will try it out soon! My freebie add ons were Glamglow, Fresh and Bobbi Brown!

Mask Wednesday - ToGoSpa Bamboo Charcoal FACE Collagen Gel Mask Review

Happy Mask Wednesday everyone! And, today is November 1 which is the first day of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) and I have joined along with a few other CBBers to challenge ourselves to post every day for the month of November! So if it seems like i'm posting excessive content; that's why! (I'm kidding - I want all the posts to be good quality!)


Mask Wednesday - ToGoSpa Bamboo Charcoal FACE Collagen Gel Mask Review

I have talked about ToGoSpa a fair bit on here - their EYES gels are my favorite eye masks and the brand has continued to expand their mask range to include LIPS, FACE and NECK. I recently won a giveaway and was excited to try a FACE mask from the brand and see if they are as great as the eye gels!
