Five on Saturday - November 28, 2020

Happy Saturday everyone! What a week it's been - the covid cases having been spiking in Alberta and we re-went under a state of emergency and lots more restrictions were imposed, including High Schools being at home until January and no social gatherings at all. So, it's been crazy, but I would rather be safe!

Time for a look at my November Reading list! I always find November is the month when I want something dark or moody and atmospheric - it's just after Spooky October and it's starting to be cold and dark, so something that I can curl up with a warm blanket and read. I think these all have a little magic or weirdness and they feel perfect for the month! 

Five on Friday - November 6, 2020

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you've had a great week - I've found this week pretty stressful, with huge jump in case numbers and the U.S. election craziness, it's just been a long week. But, it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that!

If you guys don't follow my on instagram, then you haven't seen our family Halloween costumes! We went with a full Nightmare Before Christmas look - Lock, Oogie Boogie, Jack and Sally. I was really hoping Elliott would let me paint his Jack face, but he look super cute with his mask on and the costumes turned out great (especially with not much to do for the night).

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2019 Unboxing!

I was so excited to receive my 2018 Beautylish Lucky Bag in the mail! I'm such a sucker for these mystery beauty bags (or mystery box in terms of how it arrives!)

Every Boxing Day (or December 26 for you non-Canadians), Beautylish releases the pre-order for their Lucky Bags which ship in early January (and if you are interested, these sell out quickly!) These boxes are $75.00 US + $15.00 shipping to Canada (with exchange I paid $130.84 CAN); but, you are guaranteed at least $150.00 US worth of makeup. They are all totally random, so it is a complete surprise what you get. Some are extra lucky and include gift cards, etc. 

I picked up the regular lucky bag for fair/medium skin, and my bag shipped from California on January 16 and arrived in Alberta on January 22 - so super fast shipping! (There was also XL lucky bags, Jeffree Star Lucky Bags, and a Buy One Gift One as other options). 

Here is a look at my 2019 Beautylish Lucky Bag:

The Lucky Bags are described as "Lucky Bags are a Japanese New Year custom that inspired us to create our own. The sumo wrestlers, or rikishi, on this year's Lucky Bags are said to bring good luck and fortune. We hope the surprises inside make your 2019 a little more lucky."

I was pretty excited when I opened my package and saw the goodies that I received in my Lucky Bag! I received 6 products from Viseart, Hourglass, Wayne Goss, Good Molecules, Jouer and Kevyn Aucoin! 

December 2018 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

I love these Haul posts; because, for me it's a way of sharing everything I pick up throughout a month - honestly, I buy so much stuff that if I don't share it here, it might not pop up until my empties post! Let me know if there is anything you want to see a full post on, just let me know and I will do it!)

Also, I do "try" to stick to a monthly budget of $100, and these posts are supposed to keep me in check! I can go a little crazy sometimes with new things though - why is there so much new makeup being released all the time?! I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts and freebies are usually shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts!

Here is a look at everything I bought in December:

ColourPop Haul ~ $23.21 CAN. I was very excited when ColourPop announced a day of free international shipping, so I had to pick up a Jelly Much shadow and a Glitterally Obsessed (which I thought was for eyes; but, it says body glitter...) Anyways, I will still use both of these soon! 

New Years Eve Makeup Look Using the Jouer Cosmetics Funfetti Collection Set

It's almost time to bid farewell to 2018 - I've got a cute, blingy little set to help ring in the New Years with lots of sparkle! 

I'm of the opinion that glitter should always be included in a New Years look! And, Jouer Cosmetics is a newer brand to me, so I wanted to give a few of their products a try! (I personally love these little minis to test products out!)
