Monthly Beauty Haul ~ November 2021

I always love these haul posts - it's a way to keep track of everything that I picked up every month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

Last year, I got a little crazy about trying to stick to a crazy budget and this year I'm just going to buy what I want and try and be reasonable about my purchases! 

I purchased everything in this post

Adrienne Furrie ~ $90.30 CAN. I went to a beauty and fashion event in Calgary with a local makeup artist and designer - I had never heard about the brand before, but I'm so excited to try these products out. I picked up a concealer, cream blush and liquid shadow and hope to try them right away! 

Five on Friday - November 2, 2018

Happy Friday everyone! Can you believe it is November already?! Seriously, where has this year gone! 

ONE 

Before we move on to November, I have to reflect on the best day of October - HALLOWEEN! This year the whole family was Ninja Turtles and I was so excited there is finally 4 of us for the whole gang to have a costume! 

Elliott loved his Halloween costume and pretty much wore it all day! We went to the mall in the morning to play with his friend, had the grandparents stop by before nap and then wore it again for trick-or-treating! He was running around saying Turtle the whole time and was so cute! And, if you are interested in seeing how I did my makeup, you can check out my post here! 

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! 

Beautylish 2018 Lucky Bag - Unboxing and Review!

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! These boxes are $75.00 US + $15.00 shipping to Canada (with exchange I paid $123.29 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. 

Here is a look at my 2018 Beautylish Lucky Bag:

The Lucky Bags are described as "Lucky Bags are a Japanese New Year custom that inspired us to create our own. This year's Lucky Bags are brought to you by the Seven Lucky Gods, who travel the world in their magical treasure ship to grant good fortune in the coming year".

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have had a great week! Can you believe it is March already?! I feel like time is flying by already this year!

I just picked up my free Baby Box yesterday from The Baby Box Co. and Baby Box University - this is a campaign to educate parents on sleep safety for babies! This is a huge box and actually has a mattress and fitted sheet in the bottom. It also came with diapers, wipes, baby shampoo, a onesie, a library card, and coupons! This was so cute - if you are a new or expecting mom follow the website and see if there is a free distribution in your city!
