Favourites: August 2015

August was quite a month for me. My brother got married, I started looking for jobs and got one, and started it straight! I've let the blog on the side as I've gotten used to the new job, which I'm sure you all understand! My August favourites are a mix of favourites I've re-purchased for my brothers wedding and fool-proof ones to make sure I've got my best face on for interviews and eventually the first days at my new job. All absolutely great products that I'm excited to share with you all.

Review: Nars Eye Paint in 'Porto Venere'

Porto Venere was released as part of Nars' 'Nude Scene' Spring 2015 collection. I've heard that it's not actually limited edition, but I can't say that for sure. Either way, it would make a lot of sense if this is indeed permanent, as it has potential of reaching staple status for many.

Swap with Megan

For Christmas me and my friend Megan who has a youtube channel - here - decided to do a swap! Mine of course arrived way late, because the Norwegian post service (let's just leave it at that ha ha!), so I decided to save it for my birthday instead which was on January 31st. If you want to see what I sent Megan for christmas you can see her video about that here, now let me show you all the amazing things she sent me!

Favourites: October 2014

Fall is finally here! And with it a whole lot of cold weather and the snow keeps attempting it's grand entrance. It's still not gathering once it hits the ground, but if we're gonna have the cold weather might as well have the snow, so hopefully soon! I've been burning scented candles, going through even more hand cream than usual and hitting the books. Exams are just around the corner, but I'm not that stressed about it and am just really looking forward to christmas, as usual. I think it just might be my favourite time of the year!

I've been doing a project I've decided to call the "Christmas Challenge" where I've rounded up all of my red lipsticks and nail polishes and am attempting to use them all by the end of the year. The lip products are going quite well, but the nail polishes will be a bit (a lot) more of a challenge. Let me know if you'd like to see any posts on this - if not, I have to say it's quite fun and absolutely recommend it if anyone would like to have a go as well! Now for my favourites for October!

Favourites: September 2014

The past month has been weird in the makeup department. It was fall, but not quite fall yet, so it was a bit confusing what colours felt right. I've been kind of back and forth between fall and summer colours depending on if the sun was shining or not. Through switching colours there were still a few staples I stuck to for the most part, and those are the items I will be talking about today. You may have noticed, I don't have any skincare this month. This is simply because I've written about all of the items I loved this month quite recently. The star skincare item I would have to say was La Mer. I went back to using it every night and my skin has been wonderful for it. Now for the makeup and a very special perfume.

Haul, First Impressions and Swatches: My Picks from the Chanel Spring 2013 Makeup Collection

I had originally decided to put a hold on makeup purchases for a while, but I just couldn't resist Chanel's beautiful spring collection 'Printemps Precieux de Chanel'. Almost everything in the collection caught my eye, but I edited it down to "just" these 5 pieces.

Favourites: October 2012

First of all, let me apologize for the lack of posts lately. I'm in the middle of exams and so getting good grades have to be the main priority. I have decided that after my favourites, empties and possibly my 100 days spending ban "reflection post" goes up I will force myself to go on hiatus until all my exams are done. But more on that in a seperate post. Onto my October favourites!

Review: Givenchy Magic Khol Eye Liner Pencil

When purchasing my beloved Givenchy Phenomen' Eyes Mascara a while back I was lucky enough that it was being sold in a pack with a free mini eyeliner with it. I've never been much of a pencil eyeliner user, but I was still quite excited to get to try this.

Favourites: August 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 is worth a mention, but not always.
