Empties: March 2014 Part 2

And now, before it gets too far into April, the second part of my empties all from the month of March.

No this isn't an error, it's just a very late October empties. I decided to delay my empties post for October until after my exams as my empties posts are incredibly time-consuming and I just didn't have a whole 6-7 hours (yes, really) to dedicate to a post when I needed to focus on exams. Here it finally is though, as promised! With my November Favourites and Empties to follow shortly! I have finished my exams for the semester, and quite early, so I'm feeling incredibly lucky getting to really enjoy christmas this year. I hope you are all enjoying December as well!

Empties: July 2013

I finished quite a few things this month, even some makeup! I've also started clearing out stuff that is old, dried up or that I never use. Little by little I'm clearing out more and more stuff that is causing clutter and have been noticing that I am getting more room to organise my products in a much nicer way.

Review: Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Treatment Lotion

I've finally gotten 'round to writing a review on the Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Treatment Lotion. And you thought the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm had a long name?!

My Morning Skincare Routine: July 2013

Seeing as I'm quite obsessed with skincare and have been for a while, I figured a post about my skincare routines would be fitting. I've split them into two parts; morning and evening.

First a little bit about my skin; It's fairly normal, but is somewhat dehydrated and can lean oily at times, mostly during the summer months, but only in the t-zone. I'm your bog standard combination skin. My skin has been quite the independent soul, doing whatever it pleased in the past, but I've got it under control now and have had it that way for almost the last two years. Please take my skincare advice with a pinch of salt as I'm not a dermatologist or in any way a skincare specialist. I am only sharing what I do in the hopes that it might give someone an idea of what to try if they are looking to improve their skin.

Empties: May 2013

Quite a few products this time as well, however; a lot of products are not finished, but going to friends, family or in the bin. I've reached a point where I've just had enough of trying to finish products I don't like, that don't do anything nice for my skin and makes me uncomfortable. What's the point? There will be a few more next month as well, but I didn't want to chuck too much in one go. In case others are also coming to the realisation that their keeping a lot of stuff around that their never going to use anyway, I urge you to start with a few things and chuck it in the bin, it feels really good!

Review: Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum

I bought the Dr. Andrew Weil's Mega-Bright Serum around christmas time and have used it for about three months now. Having been a huge fan of every Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins product I've used so far, I was really excited for this to (hopefully) finally help clear some of my post-blemish marks. With the serum now nearing it's end I figured it was time for a review.

Empties: March 2013

I seem to be going through products quite quickly these days. Not that I'm using excessive amounts, but after I decided to really try and focus on finishing products, the half-empty ones especially and sticking to one in every category at a time, I've been reducing the amount of products I have to the point of noticing my drawers getting much neater and more easily organised. I'm also starting to reach the point where I am throwing out things I just don't want anymore, which I find quite the relief.

Empties: January 2013

As I've decided 2013 will be the year I make a serious downsizing of my makeup and skincare collection, the latter especially, I'm off to a good start with an insane amount of empties for the month of January. I've naturally started off by finishing up those half and almost empty bottles hanging around here and there and so the result is a long post and a lot of freed up space - a great start to the new year!

Favourites: January 2013

A very late January favourites, but better late than never. Between school, working and going to events to look at the summer collections and seeing what product launches are on the horizon, a lot of exciting stuff by the way!, the only other thing I've had time for lately is sleeping. But enough of the excuses, onto my January favourites.

Haul: Huge Collective Haul - Part 2

The second part of my huge haul, which is much much smaller! All skincare or haircare items!

Favourites: 2012

I went back and forth a bit on whether to do my 2012 favourites as a best of every category, top 12 or just products that stood out to me this year. I chose the latter. I have also decided not to write about each product as the post will then be way too long as there are so many products mentioned. Also, knowing me, it would be really long. Instead I have decided to just list my favourite products and leave that as is. If there is a full review of the product I will link it next to it. If there is any of the products mentioned you wish to know more about or see a review on, please let me know and feel free to ask anything about the products in the comments section.

Onto my favourite products of 2012! These are the products I have used a lot and loved this year. Products I really love and highly recommend.

Empties: November 2012

Here comes my very, very late November Empties post. It's a proper November empties though, as I started collecting my December empties in a separate bag when the new month started.

100 Days Spending Ban is Over HAUL!

Quite an overdue post, as will the next couple ones be, but better late than never! My final exam finished on the 17th and it's so nice to be done finally. Now however I am in the midst of the christmas rush and am also working every day after my own wishes so am still quite busy. Thank god I finished my gifts back in November and all that was left was to wrap them, it took me 5 long hours yesterday though! This post is about the stuff I bought after I finished my 100 day spending ban. It is quite a few weeks ago now, and I have to admit there are quite a few more hauls coming after this one. It's been nice to write this post now still as it reminds me of how excited I was when I bought all these products.

Empties: October 2012

I continue to be amazed at how many products I go through every month. This month especially there's a lot of full sized products. I've also made it my mission to try and use the samples I've got lying around in an effort to save money and also, obviously, to try a couple of new things which is always exciting.

Favourites: June 2012

These are products that I have used and loved this month. It could be new purchases or old re-discoveries. There won't always be one in every category, as this is not for what I've been using, but products that have really stood out and that has gotten me excited about make up and skincare. Sometimes I might include things from other categories if I feel it's worth a mention, but not always.
