Five on Friday - January 25, 2019

Happy Friday everyone! I've had possibly the craziest busy work week of my life - so exhausted, I'm so happy it is the weekend! 

ONE 

The highlight of my week was Damian turning 14 years old! This is so hard to believe - the time seemed to fly by! He wanted to celebrate with Fat Burger, dessert and a little party with his friends this weekend! Also, he wants to get his Learner's Licence because he's old enough now! 

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2019 Unboxing!

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 (and if you are interested, these sell out quickly!) These boxes are $75.00 US + $15.00 shipping to Canada (with exchange I paid $130.84 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. 

I picked up the regular lucky bag for fair/medium skin, and my bag shipped from California on January 16 and arrived in Alberta on January 22 - so super fast shipping! (There was also XL lucky bags, Jeffree Star Lucky Bags, and a Buy One Gift One as other options). 

Here is a look at my 2019 Beautylish Lucky Bag:

The Lucky Bags are described as "Lucky Bags are a Japanese New Year custom that inspired us to create our own. The sumo wrestlers, or rikishi, on this year's Lucky Bags are said to bring good luck and fortune. We hope the surprises inside make your 2019 a little more lucky."

I was pretty excited when I opened my package and saw the goodies that I received in my Lucky Bag! I received 6 products from Viseart, Hourglass, Wayne Goss, Good Molecules, Jouer and Kevyn Aucoin! 

Covergirl Exhibitionist Mascara - Tryon and Review

I always get excited when a new mascara launches that promises full, thick, volumized lashes, especially when they are drugstore brands! Covergirl recently made a big splash in the beauty world by announcing that they have gone cruelty free and are leaping bunny certified, so that is very exciting for a drugstore brand! 

I can be rather picky about my mascara formula - I happen to have long and curled lashes, so really all I want from a mascara is a full, volumized look. And, not just a little volumized, I'm talking full, thick lashes - but, not clumpy looking! 

Manicure Monday - Scratch Reverie Wraps with Gold Foil Accents

Happy Manicure Monday! This whole month, the #CBBxManiMonday group is all doing our nails based on the theme "Nails We Wouldn't Normally Do"! 

So, these look very similar to nails that I would do; but, I definitely added some techniques that I don't normally do! 

So, the first thing I don't normally every do is negative space nails - I think I've done it twice ever, and to be totally honest, I'm not the biggest fan of my nails peeking through! And then, I added nail foils which I've never done before! (I think I'm years behind trying this!)

Skincare Sunday - Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer

Well, since I've been reviewing some Summerish products this week - the Too Faced Tutti Fruitti collection (which is adorable btw), so why not stick to a fun, fruity theme for this week's Skincare Sunday?! 

I've already raved about the Glow Recipe Watermelon line on here a whole bunch! This moisturizer made my December Monthly Favorites and I've been using it for a couple of months now! So, spoiler alert - I already love this product!
