Like that past few months, I haven't been trying a ton of new products; but, I have tried a few new ones that I loved and also have been reaching for some older products that I have been loving as well! 

Beauty Stocking Stuffers Under $30

The final countdown is on for Christmas! I always leave stocking stuffers for the last minute, so if you're in the same boat and you need some last minute ideas for the beauty lover in your life, look no further! These are also great additions to gift baskets, white elephant exchanges - you name, beauty products are always a great go-to!

Or, if you're just a beauty lover yourself, most of these are holiday sets and sets usually come with a good value for what you pay! They are a great way to try new products from a new brand or brands you love! 

March 2019 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Here is a look at my beauty garbage I used up in March:

Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation in Buff Bisque ~ $7.97 CAN. Specially made with a matte, light-diffusing complex to give your skin #nofilter perfection.

This foundation made my Monthly Favourites in January; but, I will be honest in that I didn't fall in love with this immediately. It looks amazing on this skin applied with a dense, flat foundation brush - not with a sponge! This is so good and it's so affordable - I can finally see what all the hype was about! If you want to see it on me, you can see it in a look here! 
Repurchase: Already have in a touch lighter shade

October 2018 - Monthly Favorites!

Here's a look at what I've been loving for the month of October: 

Makeup Revolution - Revolution x The Emily Edit "The Wants" Palette ~ $27.99 CAN. An eyeshadow palette you'll want to use everyday! Created and crafted with content creator Emily Noel, aka Beauty Broadcast, The Revolution x The Emily Edit - The Wants Eyeshadow Palette features 24 matte, satin and shimmer shades.

I had never tried anything from Makeup Revolution prior to Emily Noel creating this palette with them; but, I really wanted to support her and give this a try and I really like! I've done a full Palette of the Week post with this palette and 5 looks with this - you can check it out here! It's incredibly versatile and has a ton of colours that I don't own a lot of in my collection - greens, purples, etc. There was some mixed reviews on the formula; but, I really found it workable and easy to use. (I think it's currently being reformulated over other an issue with on or two shadows, but I know it will be back in stock soon!)

Skincare Sunday - Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Acne Skin Kit Review

Did you guys know that June is Acne Awareness Month? I did not until recently and I think it's important to talk about all areas of skincare. Talking about acne may not be very glamorous, but if you suffer from acne then you know it's important to talk about! 

About 8 out of 10 people will suffer from acne, and I have been pretty vocal that I am certainly one of them! I am plagued by hormonal acne, that was made much worse by my recent pregnancy and post-pregnancy. I have been trying for a year to control my breakouts. While my skin has been improving lately, I know I will have to maintain a preventative skincare routine to maintain clearer skin. 

Thursday Plantation offers a line of health and beauty products that believes in the power of pure plant oils to restore your skin. Their products are natural, cruelty free and synthetic paraben free. 

They have a whole line of acne care products all based in the antibacterial power of tea tree oil - this includes a 3 step skincare routine, as well as a few products to complete your routine.
