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).

August 2020 - Monthly Empties

Here's a look at my Monthly Empties:

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

Hard Candy Sheer Envy Perfecting Primer ~ travel size (full size is $8.98 CAN). A skin tone perfecting formula that brightens dull skin while decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pores to provide a flawless, smooth finish.

I finished this in my most recent Project Pan post - this was a good primer and a really decent drugstore option. I personally have enough primers to last me the next 5 years, so it isn't something I will consider repurchasing for a while; but, it is a good primer! 

Repurchase: Not right now 

June 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - last year I attempted this and didn't do so well, so I'm actually trying to be a little more strict on myself! I really 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 always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)! I also am trying to hold myself a little more accountable to buying products that I really want and will actually use!

I purchased everything in this post

Well Order ~ $0.00. Last month I decided that repurchases weren't going to count towards my monthly budget, so both of these are repurchases but I wanted to quickly talk about them both. Marvis is basically the best toothpaste ever - I can't use anything else now. The La Roche-Posay face sunscreen has been so highly reviewed and since I'm out of face sunscreens, I really wanted to try this! 

May 2020 - Monthly Empties and Month in Masks

Here's a look at my beauty garbage from May:

Lip Smacker Easter Tsum Tsum Minnie - Strawberry Lollipop ~ $4.95 US. Your favorite Tsum Tsum characters have arrived just in time for Easter! Add Easter Minnie Tsum Tsum to your collection, in a yummy Strawberry Lollipop Flavor.

How adorable is this little Minnie Mouse?! I love Tsum Tsums and these are just the cutest lip balms! This one smelled really good and was a good lip balm. 

Repurchase: Maybe, it was an Easter one so it's probably seasonal 

Best of 2019 - Hair, Body and Accessory Discoveries!

I'm carrying on with my 2019 Favourites, and today's post is all about hair, body and accessories! 

The hair tool was received in PR - this post contains affiliate links

This is a category that hasn't been very big in past years, but this year I love lots of beauty "extras" that aren't makeup, skincare or nails! (Don't you worry - I still have more Favourites coming in those categories!)

December 2019 Empties & Month in Masks

Here's a look at my beauty garbage from December! 

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

Morphe Highlight & Contour Beauty Sponge ~ $10.00 CAN. A latex-free makeup sponge perfect for applying liquid and powder formulations.

This sponge was really hyped up when I first picked it up - this is just too stiff for me in terms of a sponge. I do really like the flat edge, but this just didn't work for me. When I picked up a beauty blender again, it was a relief. This didn't apply my makeup well at all. 
Repurchase: No

November 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Time to dig in to my beauty garbage from November! 

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

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer ~ sample shown (full size is $45.00 CAN). A replenishing face primer that hydrates, smoothes, and brightens skin for a dewy, healthy looking finish.

This was a really hydrating primer - I liked the faint coconut scent and it was really nourishing. With my combo/oily skin I could probably only get away with using this in the Winter! 
Repurchase: Probably not

October 2019 - Monthly Empties!

Time to look at my beauty empties:

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

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!)

Five on Friday - October 18, 2019

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have had a great week - I love a short work week, so it was nice to have a long weekend and only a 4 day work week!

The perfumes were sent as PR samples, everything else was purchased by me

September 2019 - Monthly Empties

Time to dig in to my beauty garbage:

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

Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer ~ sample shown (full size is $20.00 - $55.00 CAN). A face primer and moisturizer in one that delivers 24-hour hydration and powerful primer benefits in the lightest possible texture.

I've heard rave reviews about primerizer and I thought it was okay - I actually thought it was a little thin and I'm not sure that it really let the makeup adhere better or last longer, so it didn't do what i expected. It was moisturizing and felt nice on my face, but that's not enough for me to like a primer! 
Repurchase: Not likely 

August 2019 - Monthly Empties

Time for a look at my August Beauty Empties: 

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

Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation in 150 Buff ~ $20.99 CAN. Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation provides an amazing, full coverage perfected look that lasts all day long. 

I fell in love pretty instantly with this foundation - it made my March Favourites and you can see a full look at this product on me here! It's a very neat texture - it almost feels whipped, or as Revlon refers to it as velvet. It applies really softly and nicely; but, dries down nicely and doesn't stay tacky at all and it wears all day - well around 10 hours without breaking up on my combo skin! I have noticed it can disappear from the nose a touch, so I'm careful with my powder; but, I loved the coverage of this. I really like this foundation!

Repurchase: Yes 

May 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Here's a look at my May makeup garbage (I know it's a little late ok):

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

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ~ sample size shown here (full size is $26.00 CAN). A leave-on lip mask that soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight.

This lip sleeping mask is amazing! It made my Best of 2018 Makeup products because it was so good! This little sample lasted me for a couple of weeks, so this was a handy little sample and this is the best formula!

Repurchase: YES!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've had a great week! Mine's been bust again as per the usual few weeks of my life! And, this weekend is no different - it will be busy!

As this is posting, I'm currently driving my oldest son to Kelowna for the weekend for a basketball tournament! He's got a couple of games Saturday and Sunday, plus I'm going to have dinner with an old friend and get in some family time as well! And, I'm hoping to pick up some wine in there too!

This is such a random mix of products in this months favorites - sometimes it a little more balanced; but, I just keep track of what I love and it's always interesting to see what mix of goodies pops up each month!

Let's get started with a recap of my March Monthly Makeup Basket - I will show my April picks in next week's Five on Friday. Each month I pick a few face products to focus on for the month (sometimes I pick them randomly from a list and others I pick that I want to use!)
