E.L.F. Stay All Night Micro-Fine Setting Mist ~ $14.00 CAN. Lightweight makeup setting spray for up to 16 hours of wear.

This was actually a little bit of a whim purchase when I forgot setting spray on a trip, but I really liked this - I loved how fine the mist was and this rivalled any of my favourite high end setting sprays in terms of lasting power. I used this at a couple of weddings this Summer and that is always the highest regards I can pay to a setting spray! This made my Monthly Favourites in September 2022 and it's still great. 

Repurchase: Yes! 

Halloween Makeup - Princess Peach Look (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 do try and plan my costumes around what my kids want to be and when Elliott said that he wanted to be Luigi, I knew my dreams of Princess Peach were finally answered! 

Monthly Beauty Empties - July and August 2021

Here's a look at my July and August Beauty Empties:

L'Oreal Air Volume Mega Mascara in Blackest Black ~ $16.99 CAN.The Air Volume formula is air whipped to create a lash multiplying effect with high volume charge that is weightless on lashes.

This was one of the new hyped up mascara, so I picked it up and gave it a try a few times, but I didn't like this at all, in fact, it may be one of the worst mascaras I've tried. I liked the brush shape, but the formula is too wet, I hate the packaging so that it doesn't stand up, it was wet clumpy, give me spidery lashes and then also smudged and transferred everywhere.

Repurchase: Noooooo

April Shop My Stash ~ Coral Pink Makeup Look

Coral and pinks are some of favourite colours to play with on my eyes, and it's been a little while since I've done a full face of makeup so I grabbed my favourite shades and just played!

I love how bright and pretty this turned out - the corals and pinks are just giving me all the Spring and Summer vibes (as it's still snowing here in Calgary today)! 

Five on Friday - February 5, 2021 ~ Monthly Makeup Basket, January OwlCrate, Hot Chocolate Bombs, and Lotta Love!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a good week - it's been super cold all week and snowy here (I actually took a snow on Wednesday and worked from home and it was lovely!)

I have been keeping up my Monthly Makeup Baskets throughout this pandemic; but, I am finding it a little hard to use everything in a single month as I am wearing masks all the time. So, for now, I am going to do bi-monthly baskets - I typically feature older products, but used lots of newer products for December & January, so I will make sure all of these ones for the next two months are older!
