Last Minute, Easy Pickup Beauty, Bath & Body Gifts and Stocking Stuffers!

Can you believe we are on the home stretch to Christmas?! I know it will be a quiet one this year, but I love Christmas, so quiet or not, I'm so excited for it! 

Last Minute, Easy Pickup Beauty, Bath & Body Gifts and Stocking Stuffers!

Now, I'm one of those people that pre-plans my Christmas shopping and starts months in advance, so I've had everything done and wrapped for weeks (I personally just try to avoid the last minute stress); but, I do know most people will be rushing out for a few last minute gifts and stocking stuffer ideas!

August 2019 - Monthly Empties

Time for a look at my August Beauty Empties: 


August 2019 - Monthly 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

July 2018 - Monthly Empties

It's late in August to talk about July - whoops! Time to dig in to my beauty garbage! 


Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ ~ $14.00 CAN for travel size (full size is $30.00 CAN). A lightweight water mist that gently soothes and refreshes skin and finishes makeup. 

I love Fix+! This little mini is so good because I always have one in my purse to refresh my makeup during the day - this is one of the best sprays to make me look non-powdery and cakey!
Repurchase: Yes!

January 2018 - What I Bought This Month!

Happy Monthly Haul time! I have really enjoyed seeing what I buy every month! I like that I get to share everything I have purchased (because really some of it would get lost in my beauty collection if I didn't!) Also these posts helps to keep me on track - I am planning on trying to only spend around $100 per month on beauty since I am be on a smaller budget with a new baby! 

I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts, pr samples, and freebies are usually shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts! 

Now, let's be real I knew with my trip to California that I would not even be close to being on budget this month, so I did 2 little makeup auctions before leaving (from my declutter what I didn't donate/give to friends) and definitely earned some money for my trip! 

Here is a look at what I bought in January: 

Beautylish Lucky Bag ~ $93.75 US = $123.29 CAN. So, I technically pre-ordered this on December 26, but it didn't ship or arrive until January so it's in this month's haul! Every year Beautylish releases a Lucky Bag for $75.00 plus shipping and you are guaranteed at least $150.00 products worth of products - it's always a surprise what you get! I did a huge unboxing of what I received in my Lucky Bag with swatches of everything - you can check out the full post here
