My Morning Skincare Routine

I don't often feel like blog posts are overdue, since I can basically write anything at anytime, but I haven't written an updated routine since 2016! And, while this isn't going to change *much* since then, it has gotten a little more specific to my skin and finding what works best for me!

I like to keep my morning routine quite simple and gentle - I'm up quite earlier and don't have a ton of time in the mornings, so I like quick and effective products! 

Top 8 Favourites - Best Skincare Discoveries in 2021

I always love rounding up my Favourite products I've discovered every year - sometimes I've included hair and nails, but this year I'm just going to focus on the best skincare (and I just shared the best makeup the other day)! Personally, I include products that I've discovered within the year (not necessarily products that were released in the year, or I don't include every category as I just want to pick the best products I've tried!)

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's why I didn't pick an even 10 as there was only 8 stand out skincare products of the year! Also, skincare is so personal, so what works for me, might not work great for another skin type - please keep that in mind too! 

Mask Wednesday - FabYou Botanical Healing Masks

Happy Mask Wednesday - did we know it is National Face Mask today?! (Had I known - I would have gotten this post up earlier in celebration!) 

I received these as PR samples

FabYou is a newer brand to BeautyNetKorea and they have a whole range of Botanical Healing Masks - they have lots of nutrients for targeted skin concerns, but also will make the skin soft and hydrated! 

Monthly Beauty Empties - March & April 2021

Here's a look at my March and April Beauty Empties:

Milk Makeup Kush High Volumizing Mascara ~ sample size shown (full size is $32.00 CAN). A high-volume mascara formulated with heart-shaped fibers, conditioning hemp-derived cannabis seed oil, and pure pigments for an intense black finish.

I think a lot of the mascaras I've been trying lately have not been living up to their claims, and this one finally did! It is very volumizing and looks fantastic on my lashes - it makes them full and dark and keeps my lashes full and thick all day! I think it may smudge a tiny bit after a really long day, but I'm pretty picky about that and I didn't mind after the end because it looked so nice on the lashes!

Monthly Beauty Favourites - March 2021

Here's a look at what I was loving in March: 

The AC spot treatment was received as a PR sample

I feel like there was a few products that were instant loves for me this month, which was very exciting! I also love when there is a good mix of makeup and skincare each month!
