Merry Christmas + Last 10$/Week Challenge Update

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with fun and good times with your families. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then happy holidays, or simply I hope you have a great day! :)

So you all probably have noticed that I have been quiet for the last two months. I hope to start doing more posts again during the new year. I'm sorry for my silence, and I really don't have much of an explanation to offer as to why I haven't posted. I simply wasn't feeling motivated or inspired. I actually hadn't worn any makeup in 6 weeks until yesterday! Anyhow, hopefully you will be seeing much more from me on here soon. I'm leaving for a cruise in less than two weeks so I was thinking I could start with a pack with me cruise edition kind of deal. Let me know if you'd like to see that :)

As far the 10$/week challenge, I've been doing quite well. In fact, it ends in 6 days, and unless I do something terribly stupid until then, I've managed to stay on budget for the whole year! I'm incredibly proud of myself and I can hardly believe it's already been a whole year. Anyway, enough with the rambling, here are the latest and last items that I bought this year :

MAC Moisture Cover Concealer (23$), Smashbox Full Exposure Travel Palette (23$), Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pommade (23$)

Sorry for the crap quality of the picture, I'm not home and all I have is my phone with me. :/ At least I'm posting something right? :p

So the total is 69$, which I'm basically rounding up to 90$ (or 9 weeks) because of sales taxes. So this concludes my resolution for this year! Hope you all enjoyed this and have a nice week everyone!

20$ Makeup Challenge Tag : Full Face of Makeup for only 20$!

Today I'm doing the 20$ dollars makeup challenge! The idea behind this tag is to do a whole face of makeup with only 20$ dollars. I've been wanting to do this tag for a while now, but I have been postponing it because I couldn't find an inexpensive foundation. (Actually I kind of cheated there because the one I got was on sale :P). 

I kind of struggled to find inexpensive products since the makeup in drugstores in Canada is a little on the more expensive side (nothing like Australia though). Also, Elf isn't readily available around here, except the odd product here and there at Dollorama. Anyway, I think the look I came up with is pretty cute considering how affordable it is!

 ♥ What I used ♥

Wet n Wild Blush - Pearlescent Pink (4$)
NYC Pressed Powder (3$)
Elf Black Liquid Liner (1$)
Maybelline Nude Airfoam Foundation (3$ - on sale)
Maybelline Babylips - Grape (4$)
NYX Sky Rise Mascara (2$)
Wet n Wild Sweet As Candy Eyeshadow Trio (3$)

Total : 20$!
