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

Five on Friday - January 22, 2021 ~ XO Treatment Room Thursday Special, Cookie Cutters, and January Declutter

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you had a good week! 

ONE 

I have to start by saying, it's been a little quiet this week and I will be honest, I've had a pretty long, emotionally draining week - nothing crazy, just a lot on my plate at work and it's just been a lot! So, I'm so happy it's the weekend. And, I would normally apologize for the lack of posts, but honestly, I think it's okay to not be sorry for taking time to yourself when you need it - I've been going to bed early, having bubble baths, reading and just doing what I need! 

TWO 

I purchased everything in this post

I've been really excited to try more and more from Xo Treatment Room's skincare line, XO Face Care - but, the funnest thing is that Annie (the creator) always does some type of Thursday special - sometimes it's limited edition products, giveaways, etc, but this past week she was giving 3 luxury lip oils with any order over $75 (these are a treatment oil and she wants those who get them to help pick the scent for the final product)! Plus, when the final product is released, they will be in kitty cat tubes! I just decluttered my old exfoliant, so I picked up a new one! 

Holiday 2020 Beauty Sets That Caught My Eye!

I'm a total sucker for beauty gift sets and I pick up a couple every year as I find them a good value or a good way to try a few different products from a brand! 

I purchased all these sets - this post contains affiliate links

Of course, I'm wearing less makeup, so I leaned towards picking up mostly skincare and body sets this year; but, I couldn't resist a couple of lip sets because they looked so good! 

November 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

I always love my Monthly Haul posts, so I can share with you everything I picked up in the month; because, as much as I love blogging, I can't share every single thing I picked up! 

Instead of budgeting each month (like I was trying at the start of the year), I'm just sticking to the being more conscious about my purchases and just make sure it's makeup that I will really like before buying it! I 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 purchased everything in this post

Colourpop Haul ~ $59.62. I hadn't purchased from ColourPop in just over a year, but when this Baby Yoda palette came out, I knew I had to pick it up! So, I picked up a few other things that had caught my eye lately! I did a full post on everything I picked up - check it out here! 

October 2019 - Monthly Empties!

Time to look at my beauty empties:

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Medium/Deep ~ travel size shown here ($40.00 CAN full size). A long-wearing, rich, matte bronzer infused with 100 percent real cocoa powder.

I know you've this bronzer a lot over the months because it was in my Summer Project Pan and I got so much use out of it that it was almost finished by the time I was done the project! And, I managed to finish this off a few weeks later - even though this is a mini, it still is awesome to have finished it!
Repurchased: Not until I'm done my other bronzers (But, this was a good formula!)
