Monthly Beauty Empties - May & June 2021

Here's a look at my May and June Beauty Empties:

Some products were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

Guerlain Meteorites Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer ~ sample size shown (full size is $85.00 CAN). For skin that seems lit from within, apply this smoothing liquid to clean, moisturized skin as an essential first step in any makeup routine.

I just shared this on my 21 in 2021 Project Pan - I finished this as much as I could before there was no more getting out. This was fine; it has the distinct Guerlain scent and the primer was fine. This is older and discontinued now. 

Repurchase: No can do

Monthly Beauty Empties - January 2021

Time for a look at my beauty garbage from January:

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

MAC Cosmetics Mini MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Primer and Setting Spray ~ $18.00 CAN. A lightweight water mist that finishes makeup, while gently soothing and refreshing skin.

This was a little mini I've been carrying around in my purse for a while - I like this as a refresher during the day while wearing makeup because it won't mess up my makeup. I also prefer this as a primer and don't use it soley as a setting spray. 

Repurchase: Likely 

September 2019 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Time for a look at everything I picked up this month - I really love these Monthly Haul posts - they give me a way to share everything I pick up each month as I don't always post about everything I get!

For 2019, I put myself on "stricter" $100 a month budget (I'm getting a little less strict as the year goes on unfortunately), not because I need to; it's actually to be more conscious about what I purchase. I also really want to make sure that I'm enjoying and using everything on my collection!

I purchased everything in this post

Besame order ~ $123.22 CAN. Okay, I could absolutely NOT resist this Besame and Sleeping Beauty collection! Besame doesn't just throw a Disney collection together, they actually work with the movie and colour matches everything perfectly to the movie! I haven't been this excited about a makeup collection in a while and I didn't even pick up the eyeshadow palette! I got the highlighter and blush palette, the translucent powder, and the Sleeping Beauty pink lipstick. Plus, Besame added a hand cream because orders were a little slow moving with the demand of this collection! 

December 2018 - Monthly Empties and Month in Masks

Time to dig in to my beauty garbage! 

Essence Eyeliner Pen Waterproof ~ $4.02 CAN. It is extremely long-lasting and offers great precision with a slim felt-tip applicator.

This was a good eyeliner - it's a felt tip pen and it worked really well. It was pigmented, applied well and lasted on the eyes! The actual product lasted a long time too! Plus, it's quite affordable. I think I like the Stila Stay All Day a little better, but this is a good alternative! 
Repurchase: Maybe

December 2017 - Monthly Empties and Month in Masks!

Let's have a look at my beauty garbage from December:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance ~ sample (full size is $24.00). 

This is a decent eyeshadow primer - I thought my shadow lasted all day and didn't crease using this.
Repurchase: Yes, I would consider this...

Five on Friday - July 14, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a great week! I always find getting back from holidays makes for a busy week! You know when I can't even find a few minutes to do something simple to my nails that it is a busy week! 

ONE

All last week, we enjoyed some family time in Fairmont, B.C. (actually, the town's name is Fairmont Hot Springs - which I thought was a little weird, but there it's pretty small so that's all that is there!) My husbands family has a cabin on the river (yes this is the view from the deck in the backyard!) Our nephew and family were in town from Sweden so there was lots of us in the cabin together!

May 2017 In8Beauty Mask Subscription - Unboxing and Review

I love new subscription boxes - especially Canadian subscriptions!!!! In8Beauty is a sheet mask subscription service started right here in Alberta, Canada! 

The thought behind In8Beauty Mask Subscription is "In8Beauty was created to make foreign beauty products (and especially Korean face mask sheets) affordable and accessible to our friends and neighbors across the country. And with so many face mask sheets to choose from what better way to sample them then through a monthly curated subscription box."

In8Beauty is $18 CAN a month + $8 shipping all over Canada. Each month you receive 5 masks delivered at the beginning of the month! (Also, if you are just interested in a one time purchase, not a subscription you can buy 1 month for $20 + shipping)

Full disclosure here - I won a year subscription to In8Beauty back in an Instagram contest so I have received this at no cost. This is not sponsored in any way and I am choosing to share this subscription because I am excited to see a new Canadian subscription like this! 

Here is a look at the May In8Beauty Box:

This month has 5 really great looking masks included! These masks are all new to me and I am really excited with the selection included!
