I thought instead of going full steam ahead to review all of my backlogged beauty products, I’d take a step back and talk about how I review beauty products. It’s something people don’t really dissect or provide a guide when you start a beauty blog.
Everyone has their own method and here’s how I approach reviewing beauty products.
Nail polish haulage deserve its own post! 😎
I have no regrets! 😛
When I look at it all together like this, I think I got a bit carried away with makeup hauling…
But when you pick up a little bit here, a little bit there, it doesn’t seem like it’s that much! 😉 I wasn’t able to go on actual Boxing Day to shop but many of the deals are available for the whole month of January – basically when stores sell out of stuff is when the sales end! 😛
It’s the magical month known as Hauluary when I have no holds barred on shopping! I hauled so much in the past few weeks that I decided to divide my haulage into 3 posts: body care, makeup and nail polish. 😛 Today I’ll tackle the body care stuff:
It didn’t help that the Bath & Body Works store near my work was closing down so they put almost the whole store on 75% off clearance. 😳
I’m slowly climbing out of the mountain of boxes and bags containing beauty products from post-holiday clearance hauls. So begins Hauluary 2017. XD
First up, my Korean beauty hauls from 2 places: Holika Holika and Ibbi Beauty.
* This giveaway is now CLOSED! * Winner announced here.
I suppose it’s become a tradition now – to coincide with my blogiversary, I like to host a giveaway! 😀 This will be different than last years’ giveaway but it will likely be the best giveaway I’ll host all year! XD
This is a selection of some of my favourite things from 2016! (which I just posted about last week)
And here it is – as you can imagine, trying to narrow down the best items was difficult! These items are new to me but may not be new launches in 2016. Also, these items may not necessarily be my absolute “Holy Grail” of all time – they’re simply the best from the past year (I probably should do a “Holy Grail of All Time” post one of these days…) Here’s what made it into my Best of 2016 Discoveries list:
A departure from previous years, instead of doing Top 10 or “Top xx of 20xx” (ie. Top 16 of 2016), I’ll list top items within categories: makeup, skincare, nails, body care etc. This post is long but rather than breaking into several posts, I decided to do it all in one – I just hate it when they break movies into 2 parts – I don’t want to do that to you! 😛
My blog turns TWO today!
I really hope it doesn’t go through a phase of terrible twos… 😉
I started this tradition last year and I’ll continue as long as I keep up with my empties. This is what 12 months’ worth of empties looks like:
😮 And since I have last year’s Trash Stash stats, I can also do some year over year comparisons!
Final Trash Stash for 2016!
Fairly routine empties except for one item: I finished a perfume! 😮
