This order was prompted mainly by ONE nail polish: China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You, from the Fall 2014 All Aboard collection. I was browsing some nail polish blogs looking at older nail polish collections and came across it. I mainly wanted it for the colour but… a part of me wanted it for the name:
(I may own the Lego minifigure of Ralph, holding this very card!)
So I had to order it, and a few other items came along for the ride:
I was giddy with excitement as I revisited the H&M Beauty department – this time with the intention to BUY! đ My first visit was shortly after the launch and I was filled with longing for all the loveliness, but left me empty-handed AND empty-hearted… but now I am FULL… of makeup!
I had mentioned last year that one of the brands I wanted to try was H&M Beauty, and now I’ve fulfilled a lifelong wish (too dramatic? đ )
New year, new collaboration!  This is another brainchild of miss Ingrid (aka Curly.Spring.Blossom) who approached me with a 10 week long blog series called Project Focus 10. The idea of this series is to focus on beauty products to try to either use them up, or give them more attention:
⢠10 weeks
⢠10 beauty products we have never reviewed, that we want to focus on or hit pan
⢠10 different product categories
There are 4 of us doing this collab so that means we’ll be showcasing 40 products! Â How awesome is that? đ
Today is the introduction to the 10 products! Mine are:
Here’s the round-up of another week-long series from last year: Radiant Skin Series – which focused on achieving glowing skin just in time for Summer.
Chemical Exfoliants
I did a few week-long themed posts last year, here is the round-up of one of them: Lash Week! Who’d have thought there’d be so much to talk about those hairs that grow around your eye socket.  But there is!
Mini Mascaras, Mini Reviews
If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know I love skincare! Here are some highlights of posts on skincare on the blog from 2015:
Grading My Friends’ Skincare Routines
I mentioned in my blogiversary post that I feel one of the strengths of the blog is that I’m able to do comparisons between various products due to my stash. Â Here are some highlights of those comparison posts (I just remembered that I even did a week-long series called “Comparison Week” ha!):
Breathless vs Breathless
Every parent says they don’t have a favourite child, but they’re liars! Â Here are my personal favourite posts from last year:
Inconsistent Products
Since I posted the other day about my top posts of 2015, I thought I’d show some love to my least viewed / commented on posts of 2015! Â I personally liked these entries but hey, my blog was quite new at the time or maybe no one else thinks these topics were that interesting. Â Here’s another chance for me to re-promote them! đ
Pretty Funny
Edit: This giveaway has ended! Â Winners are announced HERE. đ
Since it was my Blogiversary yesterday, I decided to host my first ever giveaway! đ These items are some of my favourite things – you may have seen me mention these items on the blog or in comments throughout the year. Here’s a group photo of the giveaway items:
There will be multiple winners, each will receive FIVE (5) items of their choosing (see restrictions below).  I bought some items especially for this giveaway and some are from my stash (since I realize I do not need so many back-ups!) These are all brand new, unopened, full-sized products.  The open product shots and swatches I’m showing are of my own personal items.
Here are the items in more detail:
