I love these Haul posts; because, for me it's a way of sharing everything I pick up throughout a month - honestly, I buy so much stuff that if I don't share it here, it might not pop up until my empties post! Let me know if there is anything you want to see a full post on, just let me know and I will do it!)
Also, I do "try" to stick to a monthly budget of $100, and these posts are supposed to keep me in check! I can go a little crazy sometimes with new things though - why is there so much new makeup being released all the time?! I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts and freebies are usually shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts!
Here is a look at everything I bought in December:
ColourPop Haul ~ $23.21 CAN. I was very excited when ColourPop announced a day of free international shipping, so I had to pick up a Jelly Much shadow and a Glitterally Obsessed (which I thought was for eyes; but, it says body glitter...) Anyways, I will still use both of these soon!
Happy Friday everyone - how exciting this is my first Five on Friday of 2019! I hope everyone had an amazing New Years however you chose to celebrate it - I personally celebrated around 10:00 p.m. and then went to bed!
ONE
I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goal setting and I thought it was important to start off with a few attainable goals for me and See The World in PINK:
-stick to my $100 a mont budget
-try new brands
-create a shop my stash at least once a month
-be more conscious about what I purchase, and don't give in to every hype
-maybe film a video (this one's a total stretch and I've said it before; but, I'm not sure I'm ready for the video world!)
It's interesting, this year I've seen a ton of youtubers do a no or a low buy year - I don't really consider trying to stay to an actual budget a low-buy for me, I just want to make sure I'm really thinking through what I purchase; because, I really want to make sure I'm enjoying and using the products I love in my collection and not having them get lost!
TWO
I'm starting off the year with a little bit of a new addition - a Monthly Makeup basket! Now, it's not very big; because, I'm maintaining my palette of the week so I'm rotating eyeshadows every week. It's more so to focus on using my face products - specifically blush and highlight that I very much tend to stick to 3 or 4 favorites!
I'm back with another Best of 2018 post - I just shared my favorite makeup discoveries of 2018 yesterday! Staying on the same track as yesterday, these will be my favorite products that I have tried in 2018, so not all of them were released this year, it's just the best of what I've tried!
I will be honest and say that I didn't discover a ton of new skincare products this year and it's because my skin has been changing over the past year post-baby and not returning to birth control pills. My skin has moved from very dry to combination and I'm still settling in to the best products for me - here's to hoping that 2019 brings some solid skincare loves!
I have loved a toooooon of makeup this year, so it was hard to pick my Favorites that I tried this year! I call this makeup discoveries, because this is just a list of the best of everything that I tried in 2018 (mostly new for 2018, but sometimes I'm late to the game).
I really did love so many products this year, so this is really the best of everything I've tried this year (so, if you look back at my Monthly Favorites or you saw me rave about another product - don't worry, I still love those too!)
Happy New Years Everyone! I'm wishing you all the happiest of years this year! Before going in to a New Year, I love looking back at the highlights of my past year!
I'm super nostalgic and I love looking back a moments in time and remembering how it was and picturing myself back there (this is why I'm a big scrapbooker too!) But, I have so many great memories of 2018 and hope 2019 is just as amazing!
Family Vacation in LA & Anaheim, California
We were crazy enough to go to L.A. and Anaheim with the family with a 9 month old! We went with my mom, step-dad, brother, sister, brother-in-law and my brother's service dog, so we were quite the group travelling around!
