It comes as no surprise that I’ve got a bunch of empties again this month.
Fine, I’ll admit it, I’m literally eating this stuff. I just want lots and lots of empties each month! I especially enjoyed the gulping down that Mizon snail serum – YUMMY. 😆
No makeup items this month, just lots of skincare, body and hair care again!
You guys must think I eat / drink my beauty products… I swear I don’t! 😛 Maybe I just slather the stuff on?
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!

It’s the final Trash Stash of 2015! I`ve got quite a bit of stuff this month:
I still remember my first Empties (before it was renamed to Trash Stash) – oh how time flies! 🙂
Today I’m excited to announce the launch of my first ever BLOGMAS! Ingrid of Curly.Spring.Blossom came up with this idea and asked if I’d be interested! So, Ingrid, Kaily of Hello Kaily, Sharon of Sharon Beauty Prime and myself (we’re calling ourselves the Babes in Blogland) will be posting 25 consecutive days for the holiday season. Our Blogmas will be primarily focused beauty topics with a Christmas spin. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday all 4 of us will be posting about the same topic, so be sure to check out each of our take on the topic du jour! 😀
Our topic today is RED & GREEN stuff (or Red & Green sh!t as the classy Kaily called it). I’m interpreting this topic as a showcase of red and green makeup items from my stash.
It would have been a bit of a cop-out to just feature nail polishes so I did make an effort to include actual makeup stuff. 😛
Since everyone is posting their Black Friday loot, I thought I’d post my Optimum Points Spend Your Points loot! I did go into Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM) armed with a shopping list, let’s see how well I did sticking to the plan:
Firstly, I ended up redeeming for $300 worth of products instead of $200. I had accumulated more points since hitting the top tier a little while back. And since I’ve been positively deprived of new beauty products all year long (too dramatic?) that I went all out and depleted my Optimum Points balance. It was worth it! 😀
Finally, I’m getting around to wearing MAC Party Line! I got this a while back as my Back to MAC item, where I returned 6 MAC empties for a lipstick. That was back in September. But the shade I chose was quite a deep plum colour, more of a Fall-looking shade that I had to wait until recently to wear.
Plus, I had to work up the nerve to wear this deep colour! 😮

October’s trash stash features an exciting bunch of MAKEUP products – woohoo! Every month I put my empties in a Sephora tote and this month, it was overflowing:
But I did manage to get a group shot:
Last month I seemed to have finished all my face skincare, but this month I seemed to have finished all my base makeup!
I’ve never done a monthly favourites because I fear that my picks will become too repetitive month after month, since my favourites don’t change drastically. Maybe it won’t be a monthly affair but let’s see how it goes. Before I get to my July favourites, I just want to acknowledge that today is my 200 day of No-Buy (aside from my birthday purchases, which is completely pardoned in No-Buy-land) – yay:
Onto the July favourites:
The end of June marks the official mid-point of the year! I’ve always wondered why it’s “Christmas in July” when it really makes more sense to be in June! 💡
It was especially satisfying to finish some of these products this month because many of them I’d been using for a long time.
