Hey guys! Throughout May I've been trying my best to participate in #maymaskmonth.  A portion of these are ones that I've used throughout May, and some in the latter half of April.

Seeing as I like a tidy makeup table, I thought I'd whip up a post with some short thoughts and throw! that! trash! out!!!

2015 is quickly coming to a close, and I thought I'd wrap up with a quick post about some favourite AB products that I enjoyed this year.  I got into AB more earlier this year, but focused mostly on skincare and easing some skin issues I have during the summertime, particularly redness and dry, dehydrated skin.

These aren't necessarily products released in 2015, but here are some products I enjoyed this year, and have had a significant positive result on me:

mizon snail recovery gel

I'm almost done with my first tube but I can say, I notice the difference when I'm not using the beloved snail goop on my face.  I know a lot of others say (or shout in caps) how big of a difference there is, but I truly believe it! There is a distinct missing layer of softness that I'm lacking--since I"m almost to the end of my tube, I haven't included Mizon's Snail Recovery Gel in my current routine... :( But I have enjoyed how soft my skin feels and the minor amount my redness on my cheeks drops after usage--guess it's time to reorder another tube soon (or three).

Hey guys! So today I tagged along with my mum to do some errands after her doctor's appointment. We had lunch and just hung out, and did some shopping.

I had read recently about AB-er's scoring AB in Marshall's, and I have a store nearby--so I thought I'd go check it out.  I made a beeline for the skincare while my mum looked at some purses (we boh have our haunts...!) I spotted two boxes of Black Pearl in the skincare area, but as I posted over on the AB subreddit a couple of day ago, I happened to be looking at the tea aisle a little later on and found some extra MBD!!

I have to say, I really love my local TJ Maxx's skincare area right now.  My luck has been great.  The store is kind of small (compared to other stores up further north) so the foot traffic isn't as intense.  Still it gets a lot of traffic so if you see something you like, you really do have to get it then and there.
