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: 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: May 2015

About a week ago it seemed like I'd have the smallest empties post to date. I made sure to focus on a few things that were almost finished, so I've still got a few products to show you! There's a few products with the tiniest amount left that I really thought I'd have finished by this post, but I didn't, so those will show up in my June post instead I guess! There's still a few things in here that I've been working on for a while, and some jumbo sized products which is always fun as it clears up a lot of space.

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!

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: 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: May 2013

Quite a few products this time as well, however; a lot of products are not finished, but going to friends, family or in the bin. I've reached a point where I've just had enough of trying to finish products I don't like, that don't do anything nice for my skin and makes me uncomfortable. What's the point? There will be a few more next month as well, but I didn't want to chuck too much in one go. In case others are also coming to the realisation that their keeping a lot of stuff around that their never going to use anyway, I urge you to start with a few things and chuck it in the bin, it feels really good!

NOTD: OPI 'You're Such A Budapest'

I wasn't going to buy any more polishes for a while, with the exception of Chanel. I really tried to not even look at OPI's Euro Centrale collection, but the blue leaning lilac "You're such a Budapest" had my heart from the start. Looking through my collection I realised it was actually lacking light, pastel summer colours, so with that in mind I justified it, and I'm really happy I did! I really didn't have anything like this!

Favourites: March 2013

Oddly I feel this past month went by slowly instead of too fast, which is usually the case. I think it might be because exams are slowly getting closer and closer and I, personally, would just like them to get here so I can be done with them already. March is one of those in-between months and so my makeup and skincare needs have been a bit back and forth and will probably be a bit for April as well. Here are the favourite products I used in March.

Favourites: 2012

I went back and forth a bit on whether to do my 2012 favourites as a best of every category, top 12 or just products that stood out to me this year. I chose the latter. I have also decided not to write about each product as the post will then be way too long as there are so many products mentioned. Also, knowing me, it would be really long. Instead I have decided to just list my favourite products and leave that as is. If there is a full review of the product I will link it next to it. If there is any of the products mentioned you wish to know more about or see a review on, please let me know and feel free to ask anything about the products in the comments section.

Onto my favourite products of 2012! These are the products I have used a lot and loved this year. Products I really love and highly recommend.

NOTD: OPI French Bourdeaux

Empties: August 2012

My second empties post! I was initially a bit worried I might not go through enough products to do these posts on a monthly basis, but I guess I couldn't have been more wrong. I have to say it feels amazing to clear up so much space in my closet and the strange feeling of accomplishment from finishing up products really is quite addicting. These posts in addition to my 100 Days Spending Ban Challenge are proving really good for my wallet as well! Everyone wins!

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..

NOTD: OPI 'You Callin Me A Lyre?'

Holiday Packing Guides: What I took and what I used - the makeup

I just returned from a 10 day trip to the south of France (yes, again) and thought I'd make some holiday related posts. I have a pretty massive haul coming up, but first thought I'd write about what I took with me on holiday and what I actually ended up using. I thought this could be interesting as a little reminder for any of you about to travel yourselves of both what not to forget, and also what you don't really need.

Overview: OPI Holland mini collection

When I first got this a few months back, I didn't think too much of it. I thought it was ok, that I would like the pink and red as always and that was pretty much it. This nice little mini collection completely surprised me and I ended up being really blown away by some colours, and pleasantly surprised by others.
