Haul: My picks from the Spring 2014 Collections

I feel like I've made a fairly modest selection of the spring collections this year, picking just a few items. I was very proud of myself for skipping on the Chanel nail polishes this year, but I did test Tapage at the store and upon arriving home having looked at it all day.. I think I'll definitely end up going back for it after all. For anyone curious about the polish I have a picture of how it looks on my nails in the post as well.

Haul: My picks from the Chanel Holiday 2013 Collection 'Nuit Infinie de Chanel'

Chanel's holiday collection; Nuit Infinie de Chanel is stunning as always. I ended up getting three pieces plus a new powder from their permanent lineup. This post will be a general overview and first impressions on the products. I will be posting more in-depth reviews of them all individually later

Haul: My picks from the Chanel Fall Collections; Superstition and Moiré Le Rouge

I originally thought I was just going to get Hasard from the Chanel fall collections, and all the fall collections across the brands actually, but as I should have learned by now; I ended up buying a few other things as well. There's just something about Chanel I find impossible to resist...

Haul: A Few New Things

I picked up, and was gifted, a few new things this past month that I thought I'd share with you guys. There's so many exciting new launches coming this spring and summer, not even half of which are out yet, so it's hard to keep up. These are a few things, a few of them new products, that I'm excited to try out.

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.

Haul: Huge Collective Haul - Part 2

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

Haul: Huge Collective Haul - Part 1 & A New Sort-Of Empties Project!

I didn't want to post too many haul posts so I figured I'd make one gigantic post about all the new beauty products I own with the intention of showing it so that you could let me know if there is something in particular you would like for me to do a review on. Believe it or not, I actually forgot a few things when taking the pictures for this post, so that's why this is 'Part 1'. Part 2 will be a much, much smaller post, thank god.

London Haul!

I had a week between two exams in December and decided as a bit of a spur of the moment thing to take a short trip to London. I needed to get away and "breathe" for a bit as the stress of the exams were really getting to me. I went for just one night and two short days but got a lot done, shopping-wise anyway. As I've lived in London before I didn't really feel a need to do any touristy things anyway.

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.

The 100 Days Challenge: First Update, 2 Hauls (Oops!) and Fall Wishlist - Day 51

On 'darker side'; Truly Madly Deeply Tee, Guerlain Meteorites from their Holiday 2012 Collection, Black Asymmetrical Sweater from Zara, Burgundy Levi's jeans, Yves Saint Laurent ring, Louis Vuitton Empreinte Bag and Zara Studded Sneakers. On 'Beige Side'; Benefit Dandelion, Mango Beige Metallic Sweater, Yves Saint Laurent ring, Elie Saab Le Parfum, Neom Luxury Organics Candle and Prada bag.

Originally I had planned on doing these updates weekly, but as the days went on and the challenge as well I found the less I thought about it the less I, well.. thought about it! I've done quite alright so far, but as I'm just crossing over to the second half of the 100 Days I am finding it increasingly challenging.. I really thought it'd go the other way..

Summer Holiday Hauls: The Airport On The Way Back

My third and last haul from my last summer holiday in France. These products I purchased at the airport on the way back. This will be my last haul for a while, if my 100 days of no spending go as planned. I have ran out of some stuff whilst doing it though, so there might actually be a little mini/mega-haul coming up in combination with my first update - all to be explained! But first onto this little haul that looks quite gorgeous spread out I have to say.. Beautiful packaging is arguably worth the extra money sometimes..

Summer Holiday Hauls: The Skincare

The second installment of my 'Summer Holiday Hauls' trilogy. This is the skincare, mainly purchased from different pharmacies in different locations along the French Riviera.

Summer Holiday Hauls: The Drugstore Makeup

These summer holiday hauls posts are a tad late as I got back from France a little while ago now. As I am doing the 100 days of no spending however, I figured there was no need to rush it and I have also decided to split it into 3 parts as well. Partly due to me buying quite an overwhelming amount of stuff, partly because I won't be doing any hauls for a while so why not spread them out?

Haul: Dior-centric July Haul!

Just a couple of things I picked up this week!

A little summer haul!

Hairproducts haul! or "The road to recovery - Part 1"

Make that the long, time consuming, all sucking, mega expensive, sad hairdays due to no styling allowed road to recovery. I made the biggest mistake of all. I didn't overexplain to my hairdresser what I wanted, put my trust in her and now I am paying the price, tenfold.
