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 2015

I didn't finish an incredible amount of stuff in February, but I finished quite a few things "naturally", meaning I finished them not because I tried to, but because I've used them up and enjoyed them. So there's quite a few goodies in this post. There's also a very evenly distributed type of products which is fun. I've also downsized some in February, not much, but I can tell you there will be a few makeup items getting thrown away in March as there are a couple already, but that's for next month!

Empties: January 2014

After doing a bit of shopping during December on my trip to London and France/Italy plus receiving a few products as part of gifts for Christmas I knew it was time to do a bit of de-cluttering. I deemed January "sample month" and have been working on finally cleaning out the incredibly huge back-stock of products just "lying around". I also wanted to focus on finishing stuff that had been "almost empty" for a while. I've also taken a lot of stuff and given away to friends and family. It's definitely been a success and I can already see a noticeable improvement. I might even continue on into February.

Favourites: 2013

Here we are at the end and beginning of another year yet again. I have once again decided to do a yearly favourites post listing my most used and loved products of the past year. The post has been set up very similar to last years in that I have skipped any description or explanation of the products, the post would simply be way too long, and has stuck to just listing the category with the brand and product name. I have decided against forcing a product in every category and instead chose my stand-out products of the year and then added them to the category they fit into, this is the reason some categories have more than one. I hope you all had a wonderful 2013 and wish you all a fabolous 2014!

Empties: November 2013

Another month with plenty of empties. I keep thinking next month there won't be as much, but every time I keep having loads. I guess I just use a lot of products for a lot of different things and that's why. Still I'm noticing my "collection" of products, especially body care is getting smaller and that gets me very excited. It's all a lot less overwhelming now and I feel I can appreciate more the things I have without feeling like I need to finish stuff up fast before everything gets too old.

Empties: September 2013

Another month flew by and I continue to finish a lot of products. I do buy a bit as well, but not as much as I'm clearing out. This means I've noticed having more and more space in drawers and wherever I keep my products. This month has therefore been filled with re-organising everything and I'm in love with how much more streamlined everything is. I'm hoping that by next summer I'll have a really slimmed down "collection" of things. Not too many makeup products this month (a few though), but next month is looking very promising!

Review: Molton Brown Bath & Shower in 'Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod' and 'Relaxing Yuan Zhi'

I've loved Molton Brown shower gels for a long time and Relaxing Yuan Zhi has been featured in more than one favourites post. There's not many reviews on these in the blogosphere and I know their "just shower gels", but that shower first thing in the morning, or after a really long day, can sometimes make all the difference. The difference to how you start your day, or go to bed feeling ready for the next.

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.

Empties: June 2013

A bit late with this one, but better late than never! Even though we're almost halfway through July I've seperated my empties from June from the ones I've finished in July. I finally have a bit less as I was away on holiday for over half of June and didn't take my empties back home with me. Still there's a few products, and one I'm very sad about that unfortunately smashed. Next month's empties is looking like it will have quite a few "throwaways" as I'm getting sick of having so much stuff around that I don't even like. But more on that next month!

Favourites: May 2013

You're probably pretty sick of me saying I'm in the midst of exams, but I am and so the past month I've been quite stressed and have looked to beauty products to try and relax from time to time. There's been a lot of heroes and there was many products I wanted to feature, but I narrowed it down to the ones you see here.

Empties: April 2013

There's not as much as the last few months this time, but still a substantial amount. If your wondering why there's almost no posts these days, like I said in my favourites post I'm in the middle of exams so my priorities are to study. When I am finished with exams I go straight on holiday, but I will be back in the beginning of July and I am already looking forward to really getting back into blogging a lot more! Good luck to everyone else in the midst of their exams and to the rest of you - please realise how lucky you are not to be having exams! I am looking at picnics in the park outside my window while studying and have to say it is quite depressing. But it will all be over soon! Onto my empties!

Favourites: April 2013

April being over is definitely not a good thing in my book. I have exams all through May, which I am not all that excited about. This is also the reason I've not been posting lately, and probably won't too much until July. I'm quite active on Instagram though, so I'd love it if you added me on there. Still, April's actually been quite an exciting month for makeup for me. With the warmer weather I've felt more like "bothering" again so I've had a lot of fun discovering and re-discovering new products.

Haul: Huge Collective Haul - Part 2

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

100 Days Spending Ban is OVER!

Sunday November 4th was the last and final day of my Spending Ban. I had not bought any makeup or unneccesary (things I had more of) beauty products for a whopping 100 days. Needless to say I made quite a few online orders the following day and have been picking up a few bits and bobs over the last few weeks. When all my orders come in I will do my final post in this series; The Spending Ban is Over Haul! In this post I will write more about my experience throughout the 100 days and my thoughts on the whole thing.
