Empties: January 2018

I'm starting 2018 with a massive declutter, primarily in my makeup collection. I feel like I'm entering a second wave of being able to let go of stuff. A lot of the makeup I am getting rid of now, I thought I was never going to be able to get rid of, short of using it up. I think the fact that I've actually stopped buying makeup for almost three years now, is why I am finally able to let go of these things. I realise I haven't reached for them for a while, they've had "their chance", and since I am not buying and buying and buying, I feel less guilty of getting rid of the stuff I don't use, since that really does mean I get to use the things I love, that I already own.

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.

Use it Up: Update #8

I did kind of just update this project, but I've made a decent amount of progress and finished some products so I figured it'd be fun to do an update. Also, most of the people that project pan on youtube do at least a monthly update, so I guess once a month one the blog isn't too crazy either. Especially these days as I've been super into using stuff up, and basically using nothing but these products and my palette in my pan that palette challenge. Anyway, let's get this post going!

Use it Up: Update #7

This is going to be one of the better updates of this. Not that I've ever done too shabby, to be honest, but this time around I've finished a whopping 6 products. This means I'll also be adding 6 new products at the end, which is a lot. I considered not adding them and just finishing the remaining products by the end of the year, and then being done with the project, but I don't want to do that. I'd rather keep cycling through ten and another ten and another ten products, no matter what year it is or was. Either way, let's get into showing the progress I've made on the products I am still working on, what I've finished and what's going in the bin.

Review: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Quite a while back I used and reviewed ( here ) the Smashbox Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer. I was very happy with it and always meant to re-purchase, but never did. My skin type has since changed from combination/oily, to dehydrated, so my wishlist changed from the Light version to the regular version. Still I wanted to finish my other primers before trying it again. Then imagine my joy when I received the Photo Finish Primer as a complete surprise present! And now here is my review!

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!

Shopping My Stash #1 / Project 6 Pan

This is the first time I've ever done a post like this, but seeing as I've made it a point to try and finish some of my products it felt natural to have a little look through my makeup collection and chose a few things to try and get more use out of and try to finish up.

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.

Review: Smashbox Photo Finish Light

Anyone that reads beauty blogs will have heard about the Smashbox Photo Finish Light. A staple in many a beauty junkie's collection, I was rather late to try my own hand at this bestseller. Could it possibly live up to it's hype?

Paris Haul!

Galeries Lafayette at Boulevard Haussman

This past weekend I visited Paris for a romantic 4 day long weekend and it was amazing as always! It wasn't my first time in Paris, but it was my first time in Versaille and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been!
