It’s been a few weeks since our last podcast – it’s such a busy time of the year but we managed to snag Daniel the jewellery elf for a chit chat!
For those who do not know Daniel, he is the designer and creator behind Earth Elements. We talked a bit about his creative process which includes middle of the night jewellery making frenzies. 😆
This was part of the Holiday 2014 limited edition release – I’m only 2 years too late!
Actually, I found this earlier this year at Winners so it wasn’t like I’d been sitting on this for 2 years! (But it’s been known to happen… 😉 )
I bought a bunch of H&M Beauty items back in January during my free for all month of makeup haulage. 😀 I had been eagerly waiting to try the H&M Beauty ever since they re-vamped their line in late 2015. Whenever I try out a makeup line for the first time, I always default to the products I’m most comfortable with: eye shadows and blushes! ❤
• High Impact Eye Color Single Eye Shadow in Down to Earth, Cocoa Mauve, and Shiitake
• Pure Radiance Powder Blusher in Deep Brown
I’ve had a chance to wear these for a while so it’s high time I review them!
The weeks are just accelerating, aren’t they? I’m kind of glad. I cannot wait for 2016 to be over!
If you’ve been too busy with making a list and checking it twice, here are the posts that went up last week:
Trash Stash: November 2016
My Trash Stash isn’t just only about empties, sometimes I show things that are gone from my stash; for instance, I re-homed these items!
Last Christmas I received the Saje aromaBreeze Ultrasonic Nebulizer as a present, which introduced me to the world of aroma diffusers. Using that device helped to provide a basis of comparison for the Jasmine Aroma Diffuser by Stadler Form (C$85), which was sent to me by Nuworld Botanicals.
Along with the diffuser, I received the Everyday Zen Diffuser Oil Blends Try Me Kit, which comes with 6 essential oil blends (6 x 7.4ml vials for C$44).
And here we go – starting to chip away at some of the items languishing in my stash waiting to be reviewed!
I’ve had these items in my stash for nearly a year! 😳 I did take photos of them back in September so I did manage to wear them on the weekends while I was doing Project Pan.
Ouch. November Low-Buy was more like a Go-Buy… I mean, what was I expecting? Sephora VIB sale and Black Friday – why did they have to be together in the same month?
I also bought some stuff from Winners and Avon. 😳
At the beginning of every month, I think to myself, “this month I probably won’t have too many empties, I might have 2 or 3 max”. Then around the third week of the month, I am suddenly faced with a bag full of empties. Go figure.
I finished some big containers too.
It’s officially December now. Panic time! I’ve barely started buying presents so I have to get on that pronto.
Here’s what you might have missed last week if you had 30 tabs open on your browser while shopping Cyber Monday deals:
Project Pan 12: Cargo HD Pressed Powder in #20
Just goes to show that using a pressed powder for 3 months straight won’t make a dent!
Happy December! Now that I’m done Project Pan, I have to be honest with you – I’ve been feeling a little stressed and lot guilty about the pile of makeup that have been waiting to be photographed, tested, and reviewed. Ever since the floodgates opened this year for makeup buying, I’ve been amassing so many new items, all the while making mental notes to review them on the blog. The entire 3 months I was doing Project Pan, I kept eyeing the ever growing pile.
So for the month of December, instead of jingle jangle ho ho ho Christmas themed posts, I’m going to play catch up on all the items I’ve been meaning to review! Here’s a sneaky peek at what will be coming up. 😛
