New Years Eve Makeup Look Using the Jouer Cosmetics Funfetti Collection Set
It's almost time to bid farewell to 2018 - I've got a cute, blingy little set to help ring in the New Years with lots of sparkle!
I'm of the opinion that glitter should always be included in a New Years look! And, Jouer Cosmetics is a newer brand to me, so I wanted to give a few of their products a try! (I personally love these little minis to test products out!)

Five on Saturday - December 29, 2018
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season - I have been off of work for the week, so I feel like i'm in this weird limbo time; but, I have been spending lots of time with my family!
ONE
I had such an amazing Christmas with my favorite boys! Damian and Elliott were a blast opening presents and were so much fun! Mitch got to be home in the morning and watch the boys open their presents, and then he had to work. But, we are so used to shift work, so it's not a big deal! My family came over and spent the night with up and it was perfect!

Storybook Cosmetics Book Club Subscription Box - Volume 01 (November 2018) Little Women Palette Swatches and Try-on + My Experience
This might be a bit of a long post, I feel like I have a lot to talk about in terms of my experience with the Storybook Cosmetics Book Club Subscription Box!
Storybook Cosmetics announced back in May 2018 that they were coming out with a subscription box and that it would available in August 2018. I was very excited about this subscription - it was at a time I was getting frustrated with my beauty subscription boxes and was looking for a unique makeup subscription! I signed up and paid immediately (May 8th to be exact!)

December 2018 - Monthly Favorites
Hello end of the year! I will be doing my 2018 Yearly Favorites as well in a few days; but, I always think that favorites feel incomplete without doing December! So, here is what I was loving in December:
Bite Beauty Astrology by Bite Limited Edition Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Scorpio ~ $30.00 CAN. A limited-edition shade of award-winning Amuse Bouche Lipstick, created for the zodiac sign Scorpio. For sexy Scorpio, Bite mixes up a bombshell fiery orange-red. This searing, spicy shade is made for hot dates.
This is a limited edition shade, and it's no longer available on Sephora; but, Bite Beauty still has some on their website! This is an orange red, and honestly I wasn't sure how it was going to look on me; but, I love it! I have been making an effort to wear this out multiple times since I got it! My husband even told me that he doesn't like bright lipstick; but, he likes this shade on me too! The formula is long lasting, and I just need a quick blot so that it doesn't get on my teeth!
You can see my full review and swatches here and I just used it in a recent holiday glam look that you can see here!

Manicure Monday - Glittery Green and Stamped Stockings
"T'was the Night Before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a Mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be there."
Happy Manicure Monday and Merry Christmas Eve! The Night Before Christmas is such a tradition for our family to read on Christmas Eve together before bed time - it's perfect to help get the kids settled, and it's been happening since I was a kid!
So, I thought what better nails to do for Christmas Eve nails than stockings?! Also, stockings are my favorite part of Christmas time - I look forward to that more than the presents. My mom always stuffed my stocking and snuck in and put it on the end of my bed, so it was the best to wake up and have presents right there! So, I've been doing it for my older son, Damian, too and will start with Elliott when he's old enough!

Five on Friday - December 21, 2018
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a great week - mine has been so busy! I have been counting down to this Friday and am looking forward to having just about a week and a half off of work! It is much needed!
Are you guys all ready for Christmas?! I got the last of our gifts and stocking stuffers this week and we are ready to go! I will do all my wrapping and prep this weekend; but, we are good! It's relieving not to have to go out and get anything this weekend!
ONE
I really tried to plan ahead and get us funny outfits to wear for our Christmas cards and our reindeer onesies are great and the cards turned out fun. But, I've been so damn busy that I did not make good timing to send them out to most people this year! Ugh - I don't know how people get everything done with toddlers and work because I clearly can't keep up!

Manicure Monday - Christmas Ornament Nail Art!
"O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches" - what am I going to do when I have to find another back drop rather than use my Christmas tree anymore?! We are just over a week away from Christmas and I couldn't be more excited!
One of my favorite Christmas past times is decorating the tree - we always get a real tree and there is just something about the smell and getting the decorations all set up that just gets me in the Christmas spirit!

Five on Sunday - December 16, 2018
This post usually starts by wishing you all a happy weekend; but, it's already Sunday! Where did the time go?! It's so close to Christmas and it is such a busy time! So, I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was busy; but, good!
ONE
Last weekend was our annual Girl's Christmas Dinner gift exchange and we always draw names for gifts! It's always such a fun surprise! I think I'm super easy to shop for, so I always get amazing gifts every year! This year I got a cat trinket tray (or spoon rest), foil masks, bath bombs, and a homemade sugar scrub!

She created Pat McGrath Labs as her Golden Revolution and her guiding principles behind the brand are "Obsession. Inspiration.

Natasha Denona Mini Star Palette - Swatches, Makeup Look and Review!
Oh look, another mini Natasha Denona - I have been such a fan of the other 2 mini palettes that I've tried, so I picked this one up right away too!
Earlier in the year, I tried both the Natasha Denona Mini Sunset eyeshadow palette and the Mini Lila eyeshadow palette and I was really impressed with both of them! I thought they performed well and the shadows looked amazing on! (Both also made Monthly Favorites over this year).

Manicure Monday Recap - My Favorite Christmas Nail Art!
Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend - mine was crazy busy! So that explains why I don't have fresh nails for my Monday this week - trust me, it bothers me immensely; but, it will give me a chance to put a nail treatment on and let my nails rest for a couple of days!
But, I still wanted to participate in our #CBBxManiMonday group - we are doing holiday nails all month! And, I actually love recap posts because it gives you so many fun ideas for nails! So, I thought I would recap my favorite Christmas (or holiday) nails today!
Santa Nail Art
Santa nails are so classic for Christmas! I love how cute these Santa nails turned out and they were easy! You really only need a nail dotting tool. You can check out my original post and a quick tutorial on these Santa's here.

November 2018 - Empties and Month in Masks!
Time to look at my beauty garbage!
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ~ mini size shown here (full size is $24.00 CAN). A leave-on lip mask that soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight.
When I got this at first, I wasn't sure what the hype was about - it just worked like a lip balm overnight. Wrong - I tried to use a normal lip balm overnight again like I used to, and when I woke up half way through the night, I noticed how dry my lips were. This lip mask actually hydrates the lips all night and they are soft in the morning - plus, it just feels like a soft lip balm formula when it applies! I think the full size has a spatula with it, and that is my only complaint with the mini - I hate dipping my finger in a pot. It made my favorites in June of this year!
Repurchase: Yes

Five on Friday - December 7, 2018
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week! Ours has been good - we are full in to Christmas mode! We had a huge family dinner last weekend with the extended family and I'm having my friend's gift exchange this weekend and am making the turkey for it!
ONE
Ohhh... I always get so excited when new subscriptions ship to Canada, and I really wanted to sign up for the Maniology Mani x Me subscription; but, when they started a couple of month ago, it wasn't originally open to Canadians. So when they announced that they were shipping to Canada a couple of weeks ago I jumped at the chance to get it!
It is $25.00 US per month plus shipping (I believe it is free shipping to the U.S. and $6.00 to Canada. Each month you will receive 2 exclusive plates, 2 polishes and an extra gift. There is also the option of an express Mani x Me for $18.00 US, and it was come with the 2 exclusive stamping plates and an extra gift.

Kocostar Sliced Cucumber Mask - Try-on and Review!
I'm a day late for Mask Wednesday; but, we are going ahead with a mask review anyways!
I will say it 100 times here - I'm a total sucker for packaging on masks. The cuter it is, the more I need it on my face. So, when I came across these Kocostar masks in Anthropologie, I had to try them!

Here are the top 5 things I've been loving in November:
Lush Snow Fairy Body Spray ~ $29.95 CAN. Summon the sweetest scent with just a few spritzes of Snow Fairy Body Spray. Soak up all that saccharine goodness to enchant your senses, and let its magical scent envelop you in a cloak of candied mystique.
Ahhh... Snow Fairy is my most favorite Christmas scent and now it's in this delightful body spray! It is so sweet and yummy smelling and I just love these big body spray bottles (I have the Sleepy one as well!) This is huge - it should last me forever, and I only use one spray a day! Ahhh... so good! It's limited edition, so head to the Lush site if you're interested!

Manicure Monday - Merry Kitschmas Nails!
