SKINCARE | Anua Brightening and Hyperpigmentation Routine

Press samples

I was SO EXCITED when I saw that I had been selected for a YesStyle x Anua campaign because I had just tried the Anua Peach 70% Niacin Sheet Mask, LOVED it and wanted to try more from this super trendy KBeauty brand! The products featured today are specifically for a routine targeting hyperpigmentation and brightening and while I haven't had the chance to use them long enough to see results, my experience so far has been promising! 

BEAUTY | October Ipsy Original Bag

Purchased by me

This October Ipsy Original Bag was a bit of an accident as I was actually going into my Ipsy account (on Oct.31st) to reactivate the "MONTHLY" option so that I wouldn't miss out on the December Bag and in doing so, I ended getting the October bag as well! Now, that I have slowed down the beauty spending, I don't mind having some smaller samples of different products around to try. Obviously the October theme was centred around Halloween and Magic though the theme and the products I received seemed somewhat disconnected. I also received an "accommodation package" for some reason and when it arrived, it contained ANOTHER single foundation? October was just kind of confusing month for the Ipsy Original Bag, but let's get on with it!

SHEET MASK | Mad Beauty Looney Tunes Sheet Masks (Tweety and Bugs Bunny)

 

Purchased by me

These Mad Beauty Looney Tunes sheet masks have been seriously nostalgic for me as my sister and I grew up watching these cartoons on Saturday mornings and after school. We knew all the little stories and we both even had Tweety and Tasmanian Devil slippers for YEARS! 

NAILS | Cozy Fall Argyle Sweater Nail Art #CBBxManiMonday

Press samples

I am super proud of myself for painting my nails every single week this month! It has been a long time since I have been consistent and it has felt really good! This week's manicure is inspired by a manicure on the cutepolish YouTube channel from 2023 that I thought was very cute and went well with my current nail shape - Argyle Sweater Nails!

SHEET MASK | The Creme Shop Be Jawsome, Skin Sheet Mask

Purchased by me

Who can resist a mask with such pure positivity in its name?! And it's a baby shark which automatically makes the "Baby Shark Du Du Du" song run through my head! The Creme Shop is still one of the more accessible sheet mask brands that does printed masks fairly regularly so when I saw this one at Miniso, I had to grab it because of the cuteness factor!

SKINCARE | Laneige Open to Wonder Midnight Minis Holiday Gift Set

Purchased by me. Affiliate links.

OMG, it has been soooo busy at work these last two weeks! Don't get me wrong, I love the client aspect of it, but it is the admin side and the constant worry that I have forgotten something that stresses me out! Plus, I find this is the time of year where because things are frantic, staff get messy, forgetful and their brains stop functioning. I will say that it truly is a skill to keep your brain working under stressful periods. Basic math can go out the window or you suddenly forget how to do things you've known how to do for years. One thing that I have NOT forgotten to do is to hydrate my lips especially overnight! Don't you love my super smooth segue?
