Halloween Makeup 2023 ~ Cat Princess Peach Makeup (Shop My Stash)

Happy Halloween everyone!!! If you guys have been around for a few years, you know we take our Halloweens pretty seriously (or at least - I take my Halloween pretty seriously and everyone else in the house puts up with it!)

I tend to plan my costumes around my kids (while I still can - if it fits in to a family costume!) and Elliott asked to be a Cat Goomba, so since I was Princess Peach last year, I thought it would be perfect for me to be Cat Princess Peach! 

Quarterly Beauty Empties ~ October - December 2022

Monthly Empties posts were getting a little overwhelming - they were a lot to write and keep notes about. I've decided to still talk about empties, but only makeup products and skincare products (no more body, hair, nail or personal care products!) It was just getting too much, but I still want to share my thoughts on products I've used up!

Physicians Formula Butter Believe It! Skin Mist ~ $17.49 CAN. Incredibly weightless formula smooths skin texture and effortlessly sets and refreshes makeup for all-day wear!

I didn't really need a new setting spray, but I couldn't resist! I love the scent of the Physician's Formula products, and this has that summery scent that smells delicious and I loved that! I finished this one, but this one was a little thick and the spray wasn't as thin or easy to apply.

With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! So, that is what I'm going to focus on for this year's Top 10 Favourites! 

Shop My Stash - Wedding Guest Makeup That Lasts All Night And Day!

I was soo happy this year to get back in to attending weddings! So, I thought I'd shared my go-to Shop My Stash look for a wedding I attended - these products are all tried and true for a long wearing makeup look (and I got a ton of comments, so I think it turned out well!)

One of my goals this years was to do more Shop My Stash makeup posts, but unfortunately, I only got a few posts up this year. So hopefully, now or next year I can get back in to it again -  I love playing with makeup!

While my daytime routine is quite simplified, I do tend to have my nighttime routine a little more in depth - I like to take my time going through the steps and making sure my skin is taken care of!
