Monthly Beauty Empties ~ November and December 2021

Here's a look at my beauty empties from the past two months:

Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer ~ sample shown (full size is $68.00 CAN). A velvety priming balm of pressed silk that smooths and makes makeup last longer while keeping it out of skin, helping to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

This was fine - I don't loved the idea of a potted primer, especially for $70! Personally, I don't love dipping in to things while getting ready. The formula itself was smooth, but not really for me! 

Repurchase: No

June 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - last year I attempted this and didn't do so well, so I'm actually trying to be a little more strict on myself! I really want to make sure that I can use and enjoy the products I have in my collection and that I will really use the products I picked up! 

I always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)! I also am trying to hold myself a little more accountable to buying products that I really want and will actually use!

I purchased everything in this post

Well Order ~ $0.00. Last month I decided that repurchases weren't going to count towards my monthly budget, so both of these are repurchases but I wanted to quickly talk about them both. Marvis is basically the best toothpaste ever - I can't use anything else now. The La Roche-Posay face sunscreen has been so highly reviewed and since I'm out of face sunscreens, I really wanted to try this! 

April 2020 - Monthly Empties and Month in Masks

Here is a look at my beauty garbage from April:

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder ~ $8.00 CAN. The Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder is a loose powder that helps absorb oil and excess sebum.

I just finished this up in my 20 in 2020 Project Pan - I've had this since 2015 and it was time to use it up. It's not a bad powder, but I'm just not super in to loose powders in my routine anymore. This was super fine and I thought it creased under my eyes a little. 
Repurchase: Nah

April 2020 - Monthly Favourites!

Here are the top 5 products I have been loving this month: 

I received the Catrice Primer as a PR sample - this post contains affiliate links

Honestly, for the month of April, I haven't been trying a ton of new products - some of these are new, but, for the most part, I've been trying to use this time to get through products in my collection!

March 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Happy haul day everyone! Early this year, I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - are you ready to see if I was able to do this?!? 

I always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)! I also am trying to hold myself a little more accountable to buying products that I really want and will actually use!

I purchased everything in this post

Facebook Auction Find ~ $10.00 CAN. This was a brand new mist I picked up on an auction and this was a product that has been huge on my to-try list! This is a full sized product that is regular $37, so I was pretty excited to pick it up! 

March 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Here is a look at my beauty garbage I used up in March: 

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

Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation in Buff Bisque ~ $7.97 CAN. Specially made with a matte, light-diffusing complex to give your skin #nofilter perfection.

This foundation made my Monthly Favourites in January; but, I will be honest in that I didn't fall in love with this immediately. It looks amazing on this skin applied with a dense, flat foundation brush - not with a sponge! This is so good and it's so affordable - I can finally see what all the hype was about! If you want to see it on me, you can see it in a look here! 
Repurchase: Already have in a touch lighter shade

July 2018 - Monthly Empties

It's late in August to talk about July - whoops! Time to dig in to my beauty garbage! 

Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ ~ $14.00 CAN for travel size (full size is $30.00 CAN). A lightweight water mist that gently soothes and refreshes skin and finishes makeup. 

I love Fix+! This little mini is so good because I always have one in my purse to refresh my makeup during the day - this is one of the best sprays to make me look non-powdery and cakey!
Repurchase: Yes! 

May 2018 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Time for a look at my beauty garbage! 

It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm in "Grape" ~ $10.67 CAN. Handy lip balm with lovely macaron design and pleasant sweet fragrances.

How adorable is this lip balm?! It's a little macaron - I personally don't love potted lip balms because I hate my nails getting goopy but this worked fine.
Repurchase: Not likely... 

Five on Friday - January 12, 2018

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week - it got super cold again this week in Calgary so it has me counting down the days until we leave for California (8 days!)

ONE 

I love when someone knows me so well and just picks out cute little gifts for me! My sister just sent this little gift and everything is so cute! She lives in Vancouver and mentioned this store Miniso - it looks so cool! There isn't one in Calgary; but, when I'm nearby one I have to check it out! The blog book I'm sure wasn't in that store; but, everything else was!
