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: 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: 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: February 2016

Now it's time for another monthly empties post! February was just 29 days, but I've managed to finish off quite a bit. A lot of full-size items, some samples and some makeup as well, which I am especially excited about.

Empties: November 2015

This months empties is full of a lot of skincare favourites, perfume samples and quite a bit of makeup in terms of mascara. I've got one month left of the year and am focusing really hard on everything that has just a bit left to get some really good numbers for the year total. For now though, here are the products I finished in November.

Empties: August 2015

There's quite a few products for my August empties post! I've finally finished a few hair styling products which I'm very excited about. I've got way too many and they seem to take an absolute lifetime to finish. I've got a few skincare staples in here and unfortunately just a small amount of makeup items. I thought I'd have some more, but those products will be in my September empties instead! With just a few months left of the year I need to step up my game if I want to even come close to my final numbers for last year!

Empties: July 2015

I guess I kind of ended up taking a bit of an unplanned break from the blog, sorry guys! I had my brothers wedding and then I've felt a bit under the weather so this post has taken a while to finish. There's quite a lot of stuff here though, which I'm of course excited about. There's also a lot of good products so you'll probably get a mini review of at least something you've been curious about!

Empties: June 2015

Like I warned in my May Empties this month's was going to be quite a massive month! I've got quite a lot of products for you, in every category - so let's just jump right in!

Empties: April 2015

April wasn't the most massive month I've done in terms of empties, but the products I finished were a lot that I've been working on for a while so it's quite exciting nonetheless. There's also quite a few full-size items, and some items I'm excited to tell you about that I never got around to do a full review on. So let's jump right in!

Empties: January 2015

Things have been quiet around here lately, and I do apologise. I was the lucky recipient of the flu virus, and on my birthday of all days as well - and have been consequently completely out of business for over a week. It was all pretty horrible, but the cloud is slowly lifting and I'm almost back in full form. To start off I'll run through the first empties post for the year!

2014 Favourites: The Rest

And now for my final Favourites of 2014 post! This one is all about hair, body, nails and perfume all wrapped into one post - hence it being called 'The Rest'. While I'm sure I'm forgetting a few products I've gone through the past year that really should be featured here, this is a very nice collection of products I've come to rely on throughout the past 12 months. There's nothing here that I wouldn't buy again when they run out, and that's really saying something.

Empties: December 2014

Even though I did a late November empties, I still managed to gather up a nice amount of products in time for my final empties post of the year for the month of December. There's a few things here I've been working on for a while, a few regulars and another couple of makeup items I decided to finally get rid of and not "take with me" into the new year. I also switched to a new empties bag on January 1st so no cheating - these are all from the last part of December.

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!

Empties: September 2014

Sorry for the picture seeming kind of flipped to the side. I didn't think of making the products face the way I would be taking the picture, rather than where I was standing when laying them out. Quite silly of me, but lesson learned! For now, if you don't mind tilting your head to the side! September has been a long month. I've gone from having just started school to starting to plan for exams already. There's also been a few personal things, a funeral, but a lot of nice experiences as well. I went to Dublin for a long weekend, which was very nice. I did a bit of shopping, eating, and visiting. I'm also a bit in "spring-cleaning" mode, or fall-cleaning as it would be. I've been clearing out closets, really trying to use body and hair care products up.. I always get this way in the fall, instead of spring. I think it might be because I still see the "new year" as starting in the fall.. I know it doesn't technically, but as a student it just makes more sense. However, this is supposed to be about empties and not my cleaning habits, so I'll shut up now and move onto the quite a few products I got through the last month!

Empties: June 2014

June was a good empties month in the makeup department. I finally finished a blush I've been working on for ages, and also decided enough was enough with some other makeup items that I realised were irritating my skin. Since getting rid of them I've noticed my skin has been much better. I also finished a few products I love, so that was a bit sad, but there were also some new finds through samples that I've now purchased which is really exciting.

Empties: May 2014

This month I finished quite a few skincare staples and some items that I've been working on for a while. I also decided to get rid of a few more nail polishes and some lip products. It's funny how hard it used to be for me to let go of products about a year back, yet now it just gets easier and easier. There's also some makeup items in this post from my 14 Products to Use Up in 2014 project which is always especially exciting!

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.
