June 2020 - Monthly Empties

Time for a look at my beauty garbage:

Some products were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Apple Lime ~ deluxe size (full size is $26.00 CAN). A leave-on lip mask that soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight.

I really love the original formula of this lip mask - it's fantastic. This is the second deluxe size of a scented one I've tried and I just don't think the formula is quite as good as the original. This worked well and left my lips nice and smooth, but not as amazing as the original! 

Repurchase: Will likely repurchase the original, trying another brand right now! 

July 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Time to look at my July beauty garbage:

Some products may have been received in PR - this post contains affiliate links

Hard Candy Setting Spray - Long Wear ~ $6.98 CAN. A weightless spray that locks in makeup for all day wear.

This came in a hard candy set and the setting spray itself worked well and I thought it helped extend the longevity of my makeup; but, the nozzle sprays this product out too thick, if that makes sense. I prefer a finer spray so that it doesn't leave any dots on my face.
Repurchase: Maybe, I would prefer if the nozzle was changed 

April 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Here is a look at my beauty empties from April:

Some products may have been provided by PR - this post contains affiliate links

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil ~ sample size shown (full size is $55.00 CAN). An ultra-light, fast-absorbing face oil that doubles as a face primer—imparting a glowing, radiant look with a dewy finish.

I never thought with combo skin and an oily t-zone that I would have really loved an oil primer; but, this works amazing for my skin in Fall, Winter and early Spring. It gives me a nice glow and really helped my foundation apply smoother! This made my Feb Favourites last year! I can't wear this in the Summer or when it's really warm; but, it looks good any other time! 
Repurchase: Yes! 

Skincare Sunday - Acure Radically Rejuvenating Under Eye Hydrogels Mask

Happy Skincare Sunday! It's been a little while since I've talked about Acure on the blog; but, they are still on my radar! And, April is always a good time to talk about cleaner beauty products! 

Purchased by me - this post contains affiliate links

Acure Radically Rejuvenating Under Eye Hydrogels Mask ~ $5.55 CAN for one set of 2 eye masks. Intense, soothing under eye elixir hydrogels to help rejuvenate with Cucumber and Persian Silk Tree. Keep in the fridge for a cooling boost and say hello to deep hydration!

Acure is the perfect brand to feature during an "Earth month" or month where we talk about clean brands - their slogan is 100% vegan, 0% questionable. Their products are paraben free, sulfate free, phtalate free, mineral oil free, petrolatum free, silicone free and cruelty free! Acure really focuses on delivering organic products at an affordable price to help steep people away from toxic chemicals. 

August 2018 - Monthly Empties

Here is a look at my Monthly beauty garbage:

Smashbox Super Fan Mascara ~ sample size shown (full size is $24.00 CAN). A lengthening mascara that gives you modern, fanned-out volume without any heaviness or clumping.

This was a hyped up mascara for it's release and I really liked the sound of it; however, it just didn't do it for me. It was super clumpy and made me look like I have 5 spider lashes - not what I'm going for. 
Repurchase: No
