Empties: January 2015
My first ever empties post, how exciting! This may not be a monthly occurrence since it takes some time to finish full sized products. I’ll try to save up enough items to warrant an entry devoted to showcasing empty bottles and jars (before they go into the recycling bin!) Likely, my empties will predominantly feature skincare, hair care, mascaras and maybe face makeup – it’ll be a unicorn sighting when I do finish up a colour makeup item (but it has been known to happen!) Personally I find empties videos / posts to be valuable because the reviewer has used up an entire product, so they have a comprehensive experience of the product’s performance

Project Use it the F*%@ Up!
This idea came to me when I rediscovered my Mirabella Outshine lip gloss in Illusion, which I keep in a pen holder on my desk at work. I absolutely LOVE this lip gloss, it’s probably one of my top 5 coloured lip products of all time. But can you believe that this particular tube is almost 4 years old?

28 Days
Conventional addiction recovery models suggest that in order to break a habit, one has to give it 28 days (some literature even say 21 day – whoa there buckaroo!) Well today is day 28 of my planned No-Buy 2015. So how have I fared? I think I did amazingly!
Bwahahaha! Have you seen my Target entry?

Charmzone Natural Skinade BB cream
I’m a big fan of BB creams and light coverage base makeup in general. What are BB creams? Since BB creams have become much more prevalent outside of Asia in recent years, I’ll let the authority provide an explanation: Wikipedia. For ages, I wore the Skin79 Super Plus Beblish Balm Triple Function SPF30 PA++ (also affectionately just called the Hot Pink BB) but I always found it to be a bit too ashy / grey on me. I routinely mixed it with the now discontinued Kiehls Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in Medium, which was too dark on its own for me. The mixture worked well, but it wasn’t ideal.
After using up my last Skin79 BB cream, on a whim, I decided to try the Charmzone Natural Skinade BB cream.
Untrieds: Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Polish in #730 Almond Kiss
A recurring series on this blog will be to showcase items in my stash that I have yet to try (spoiler alert: a lot of nail polishes). The first in this series will be The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Polish in #730 Almond Kiss. I’ve been eyeing this ever since the Body Shop nail polish line launched in October, so I included in my Christmas wishlist and received it in my Christmas stocking.
Best of 2014 discoveries
I have to hop on the “Best of” list bandwagon before January is over and they become passé.
