Five on Friday - May 17, 2024 Swatch Post ~ Wayne Goss The Luxury Eye Palette - Amber, Urban Decay Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow Palette - Space Rider, Lancome Eye and Face Palette Holiday 2023, Natasha Denona Pastel Plexi Glow Highlighter, and Natasha Denona Cranberry Eyeshadow Palette

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a good week - I've been computer-less enjoying a week at the cabin with all the family! 

Since I'm away, I'm skipping a life update for my Five on Friday post (and will save my update for next Friday!) and instead I'm sharing and swatching 5 palettes/products that are older, but I just came in to them this year but just won't get to doing a full dedicated post for! 

ONE 

Wayne Goss The Luxury Eye Palette - Amber ~ $77.00 CAN. The Luxury Eye Palette in Amber features six essential eye shadows in matte, satin, and shimmer finishes you’ll reach for again and again. Infused with smooth-blend emollients and micronized pigments, Wayne’s custom eye shadow formula blends with the lightest touch—no special techniques needed.

This is a palette that I got in my Beautylish Lucky Bag - there is always a palette, and honestly I've never tried Wayne Goss beauty before. I do really like this palette's shades (but overall his palettes haven't called out to me before). Having said that, this is a god formula - I've used it quite a few times now and it applies good and it easy to use!

These boxes are $103.00 CAN + shipping and duties (mine worked out to $154.22), but, you are guaranteed at least $200.00 CAN worth of makeup and skincare.

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 - I didn't get one last year, but I always get FOMO so I decided to pick one up this year!

March 2018 - Monthly Favorites!

Here are 5 things I have been loving in March:

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme ~ $14.95 US. A more potent version of our bestselling glycolic fix pads, these extreme night pads contain our highest level of glycolic acid at 5% and have been further enhanced with the addition of salicylic acid, making these your ultimate night treatment to refine pores, brighten the complexion and de-congest the skin through the improvement of the skin’s natural exfoliation process. 

I have noticed a really great improvement to the overall look and texture of my skin since incorporating Glycolic Acid in to my routine. I love these pads - I actually think that these are amazing at night time. I do find that with the Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid in them that I only need to use these once or twice a week to maintain clear skin!
