Here are the top 5 things I have been loving in January!
Note Cosmetics Luminous Silk Compact Blusher in Desert Rose ~ $15.75 CAN. With special active ingredients including argan oil to boost moisture levels in skin, this formula adds luminosity and cares for skin at the same time.
I got this blush in one my last Boxycharm's last year and I didn't try it for a few months as I thought it was more of a Spring/Summer color; but, it's actually this perfect peachy shade with just a little pink in it that gives an amazing glow! I pulled this out for my January Monthly Makeup Basket and I'm so happy I did! Along with a gorgeous shade, it's got the perfect amount of pigmentation that doesn't go on too heavy or light - it's lovely!
I have been loving these Monthly Haul posts - they give me a way to share everything I picked up each month, and honestly, I pick up so much stuff sometimes that you don't hear anything about it until it's in my empties posts! If you see anything you want me to talk about, just let me know.
Also, this year I plan on holding myself to my $100 a month budget - I have talked about this a fair bit recently. I pick up so much stuff, that I get distracted and forget to focus on my collection. So, in addition to my Palette of the Week post, I started adding a Monthly Makeup Basket and a Shop My Stash post each month to get use out of everything!
Sephora Shopping Haul ~ $41.35 CAN (Was $91.35 - I had a gift card). Oh, I love ordering with a gift card, so much more exciting! So, for February a few of us CBBers are doing a whole month of Masking in February. Each week we have a theme and one theme is Luxury, so I had to pick up some new goodies for the week - Tatcha, SK-II, AmorePacific, and Dr. Jart masks! The add on sample is the Lise Watier mascara, and the 2 freebies were the Sephora wipes and the Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior.
I said earlier at the beginning of the year that at least once per month, I wanted to "Shop My Stash" and come up with fun makeup looks with products that can get forgotten about in my collection. This months look was all about the deep teals and a bold eye look!
I tend to love everything new and shiny and can easily get distracted by wanting to play with everything new and exciting; but, I really love my makeup and don't want to have anything get lost in my collection!
Happy Manicure Monday everyone! This week I'm trying out a nail technique that I have been wanting to try for a while; but, haven't tried yet!
I know I'm a little late to the game with some of these techniques; but, last week I tried nail foils and it's been so long that they were "in", that I saw new nail foils on Ulta, so it looks like they are coming back! So, maybe it's not bad to be late to the nail trend train!
Happy Skincare Sunday everyone! I always love talking about new masks on here and I feel like it's been a while since I've talked about a Leader's mask on here!
Leaders 7 Wonders Mask - Amazonian Acai ~ $6.00 CAN. Acai extract purifies skin and curbs damage from environmental stressors.
I came across these Leaders 7 Wonders masks when I was strolling through Anthropologie a little while ago, and I picked up a couple of different types to try! I have tried a few Leaders mask years ago and liked them, so I was excited to try these! Plus, these are a Bio-cellulose Mask and that's by far my favorite mask material to use!
