Empties: January 2018

I'm starting 2018 with a massive declutter, primarily in my makeup collection. I feel like I'm entering a second wave of being able to let go of stuff. A lot of the makeup I am getting rid of now, I thought I was never going to be able to get rid of, short of using it up. I think the fact that I've actually stopped buying makeup for almost three years now, is why I am finally able to let go of these things. I realise I haven't reached for them for a while, they've had "their chance", and since I am not buying and buying and buying, I feel less guilty of getting rid of the stuff I don't use, since that really does mean I get to use the things I love, that I already own.

Empties: November & December 2017

So here we are at the beginning of a new year already! 2017 seems like it flew by! I definitely put the blog on the back burner this year, as my job simply takes most of my time. That probably won't change in 2018, but I'm determined to keep up my empties post as I love to tally up what I've used up at the end of each month. It also keeps my blog updated so that when I do have some extra time and feel like writing a post, I still can. I wish you all a wonderful new year, thank you for sticking around, and here's my last empties post for 2017 and a roundup of the total for the past year.

Empties: September & October 2017

Time ran away from me in September, so I am doing a combined empties post for September and October in one go. Get yourself a cup of tea, it's going to be a massive one!

Empties: August 2017

Finally, my August empties! There's a really good chunk of makeup, which is always exciting and also some skincare I've been working on for a while. I've also finally started doing some much-needed downsizing of my nail polishes!

Empties: June & July 2017

I decided to do a combo for June and July, which means I've got quite a lot of products to talk about this time. There's a nice mix of everything, including makeup, which is always the best part.

Empties: May 2017

Keeping with the current trend, I'm skipping all other posts for the moment, but keeping up to date with my empties. As I did both take pictures for, write and post the April empties a bit later than I would have liked, the May empties have a bit fewer products than my empties usually does. However, there's still some good stuff, including makeup, that I am excited to be finished with.

Empties: April 2017

Apologies are in order for basically not blogging anymore, besides favourites and empties posts. This time I'm even skipping the favourites one. As I've mentioned before, I started a new job in April. I have a lot of responsibillities, everything is new and I barely have time to go home and sleep. For now, work is of course a priority and the blog is on a semi-pause. I'm sure you understand. I do want to stay on top of my empties posts though, as I love to keep the tally throughout the year. So, while quite late, better late than never; here are my empties for the month of April.

Empties: March 2017

March has been massive for empties! I finished heaps, and on top of that ended up de-cluttering quite a bit of makeup. It's been approximatively 2 years since I did a massive declutter last. There's a lot of stuff I kept then that I've gotten rid of now because I either just wasn't using it, or I just wanted to move on.

Empties: February 2017

I can't believe we've already been through two whole months of the year! Empties-wise I have to say I've been finishing up a lot of products I've been working on for a long time. This month I finally used up some more hair products (those take aages) and some makeup as well!

Empties: January 2017

Sorry about another delay between posts, but work is continuing to be incredibly time-consuming. I've barely been home to sleep the past two weeks. Either way - I'm excited to bring you the very first empties post of 2017.

Empties: December 2016

Finally - here it is; my last empties post of 2016! It's really, really late, but I couldn't skip it, so at last let's see what the total numbers are for the past year.

Empties: November 2016

November has been a really good month in terms of using stuff up! I've got a few products I've been using for ages that I all like and enjoy, but since I have ended up throwing away a whole lot of expired products in the past, I am excited to be getting into a pattern of basically not risking that. Beyond that I've finished a lot of makeup products this month which is really, really exciting as that really is what takes the absolute longest.

Empties: October 2016

I can't believe it's almost christmas! We are fast approaching my favourite time of the year - and I've already started planning and buying presents! I haven't decorated - yet, but by the time I'm writing my November empties post, I definitely will have. For my October empties I've finished quite a few products I've been using for a long time. A lot of them came as a surprise, as I wasn't expecting to finish them already, and some was a long time coming. Either way, a really great empties post this time, and I'm especially excited as I finally get to rotate in some new skincare products.

Project 7 Pan: Update #1

So, the first update to this project comes a bit sooner than I was expecting to make one! I did say I would update you approximatively every two weeks, and I guess I am sticking to that, but I thought for sure my next update would be at least a few days into November. Either way, I'm updating early for a good reason; I've already used up two items! Yay!

Empties: August 2016

The empties I have to show for the month of August are quite impressive, if I can say so myself! There's quite a lot of products I've been trying to use up, or simply have been using, for a long time. I've also used up quite a few makeup items, which is always the most exciting of all!

Empties: July 2016

I've finished quite a few skincare and makeup items this month, which is always exciting. I'm also downsizing some makeup. There's a lot of samples and smaller option products in here as well, as I did go to Barcelona this month and these are things I brought with me. There will be more of those next month as I still haven't finished all of them. It's amazing how long some samples last. I could probably go months without buying certain items if need be. Either way, here are my empties for July.

Empties: June 2016

There's not that much exciting stuff this month. I actually didn't finish a lot of stuff. For me, at least. I did finish some makeup items, body care and some hair care, the latter being a very welcome edition to my empties as they take ages to finish. No full size skincare this month, which I think is a first. I didn't focus on using stuff up this past month, and wanted more to just use whatever I gravitated towards, which was nice, but I ended up with fewer empties. Lots of things are so close to being finished though, so they will be in next months' empties instead.

Empties: May 2016

May was quite a fun month. We had the national day here in Norway, the weather was great so I've spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful outdoors and I went for a little weekend trip to Vilnius. Due to the trip I have a few samples I didn't quite finish over there, but took back with me to finish here. Otherwise there's a lot of regulars, and some things I've been working on for a while. There's also a few makeup items and some nail polish which is super exciting!

Empties: April 2016

Here we go again with another months worth of empties! I finished quite a few makeup items this month, and decided to get rid of one or two things. Otherwise I've gotten through a few sachet samples, which I am happy about, and then it's the usual round of body products.

Empties: March 2016

Another month passing means another empties post! I don't have quite as much stuff as I usually do, because I travelled for a few days during easter and took samples that I left there. Still, there's quite a few things. A lot of full-size items, mostly skincare and body, but I've finally finished some more hair products!
