Monthly Beauty Favourites ~ April 2024

Here's a look at what I was loving last month:

I purchased everything in this post

The last little bit I have no number of things I've been loving and honestly, I've been trying products a little slower, so my favourites have been a little smaller and more curated than the past few years! 

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2022 Unboxing

Every year on Boxing Day (or December 26 for you non-Canadians), Beautylish releases the pre-order for their Lucky Bags which ships in January - if you are interested, these sell out quickly on the day of so make sure your ready on that date! These boxes are $94.00 CAN + $18.45 shipping to Canada; but, you are guaranteed at least $200.00 CAN worth of makeup and skincare. They are all totally random, so it is a complete surprise what you get, and I love surprises! Some bags are extra lucky and include gift cards, etc. 

I picked up the regular lucky bag for fair/medium skin. There was also XL lucky bags, Jeffree Star Lucky Bags, and a Buy One Gift One as other options. I'm a total sucker for these mystery boxes and this is my 4th year getting one - you can see my past unboxings here!

Here is a look at my 2022 Beautylish Lucky Bag:

The Lucky Bags are described as "Lucky Bags are a Japanese New Year custom that inspired up to create our own. The shisa on this year's Lucky Bag are known as guardians in Okinawa, Japan. They are said to ward off evil spirits while keeping good spirits in. We hope the surprises inside invite you to leave the bad behind and take the good with you in to 2022."

Top 8 Favourites - Best Skincare Discoveries in 2021

I always love rounding up my Favourite products I've discovered every year - sometimes I've included hair and nails, but this year I'm just going to focus on the best skincare (and I just shared the best makeup the other day)! Personally, I include products that I've discovered within the year (not necessarily products that were released in the year, or I don't include every category as I just want to pick the best products I've tried!)

The FabYou, Paula's Choice and Skoah products were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! So, that's why I didn't pick an even 10 as there was only 8 stand out skincare products of the year! Also, skincare is so personal, so what works for me, might not work great for another skin type - please keep that in mind too! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites - May 2021

Here's a look at what I was loving in May:

The Dr. Teals and Skoah were received as PR samples

This month I wasn't trying or playing with a ton of makeup, so this might be my first Favourites in a long time that doesn't have any makeup products in it! 

Skoah Retinol Concentrate + $10 off Coupon!

It's been a little while since I've talked about Skoah on the blog; but, it's still a brand I love! So, when they contacted me asking if I'd like to try their new release, I was very excited! 

This product was sent in exchange for a review - this post contains a referral link

I have tried quite a few of Skoah's product line and I really enjoyed their masks, so when I found out the new product launch was a retinol, I was very excited!
