Five on Friday - October 30, 2020

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a great week! I took today off, so I had a nice short week! (Although, I was sadly planning on prepping for a Halloween party and clearly that isn't going to happen this year - Alberta lowered our indoor gathering numbers to 15 people due to our covid numbers shooting up the past month!)

Even though I'm wearing far less makeup lately, I'm still keeping up with my Monthly Makeup Baskets just so I can use everything in my collection! The products I focused on in October were:

Best of 2019 - Masks of the Year!

I'm carrying on my Yearly Favourites, and today is Mask Wednesday so it's the perfect time to talk about the best masks that I've tried all year! 

I purchased all the masks in this post - this post contains 

I try so many masks each year that it's hard to pin point some of the best and I've narrowed it down to the best 7 masks I've tried this year! 

March 2019 Monthly Favorites!

Here are the top 5 things I've been loving this month:

This month has such a perfect mix of products - a face mask, moisturizer, foundation, lipstick, and eyeshadow palette! I feel like some months I have such a wonky mix (like 3 palettes or 3 serums) and since I don't aim for any type of balance and just pick my favorites no matter what, I usually end up with a pretty random mix. So, it's so nice to see it look nice and balanced this month! 

Skincare Sunday #CBBGetsSheetFaced Week Four Recap with Reviews - AmorePacific, SKII, Tatcha, Dr. Jart and Shangpree

Happy Skincare Sunday everyone! The whole month of February Jayne from Cosmetic Proof and Chantal from Chantal's Corner and I teamed up to use 28 masks in February and we are calling it #CBBGetsSheetFaced (which is hilarious!!!). Each week we have a different theme, and this week's theme is Luxe masks, so anything over $10! I've been loving doing this all month and these posts are a lot of fun!

We have been posting weekly recaps with our masks, and it's a little sad that this is my last week of recaps! I love the idea of a luxe theme - I'm always in to trying "higher end" masks. You pay more so it should be amazing, right?! Let's find out! 

January 2019 What I Bought - Monthly Haul

I have been loving these Monthly Haul posts - they give me a way to share everything I picked up each month, and honestly, I pick up so much stuff sometimes that you don't hear anything about it until it's in my empties posts! If you see anything you want me to talk about, just let me know.

Also, this year I plan on holding myself to my $100 a month budget - I have talked about this a fair bit recently. I pick up so much stuff, that I get distracted and forget to focus on my collection. So, in addition to my Palette of the Week post, I started adding a Monthly Makeup Basket and a Shop My Stash post each month to get use out of everything! 

Sephora Shopping Haul ~ $41.35 CAN (Was $91.35 - I had a gift card). Oh, I love ordering with a gift card, so much more exciting! So, for February a few of us CBBers are doing a whole month of Masking in February. Each week we have a theme and one theme is Luxury, so I had to pick up some new goodies for the week - Tatcha, SK-II, AmorePacific, and Dr. Jart masks! The add on sample is the Lise Watier mascara, and the 2 freebies were the Sephora wipes and the Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior.
