Empties | Products I’ve Used Up #6

This month's collection of empty products is definitely smaller than other months, but still significant. I am amazed every month that I manage to finish 5+ products every time. As you'll see, I finished a lot of skin care this month, as well as a few hair and body products and one makeup item. I'm nearly finished something from my Finish 5 By Fall Challenge too, but I want to save that for next month. Bumble and bumble, Sunday Shampoo. I have loved using this clarifying shampoo all year. I use a lot of products in my hair, from dry shampoo to styling cremes to … [Read more...]

My Travel Makeup Bag

Last weekend, I went camping for a family reunion with my dad's side of the family. On a normal camping trip, I wouldn't be too concerned about taking my makeup bag with me. However, we went to church that Sunday (in the town where my grandma grew up), so I felt the need to put something on my face. I just can't go to church without makeup. I remember one time last year, after we moved, I forgot to wear makeup one Sunday (because I'd been off work and unpacking all week) and felt like I was missing a limb or a piece of clothing. Anyhow, I thought I would share what I … [Read more...]

The Weekend Post | 08.08.15

After a weekend of camping, my motivation to do anything has gone completely downhill this week. I waited at least three days to do laundry, and only put our dirty dishes from the week into the dishwasher last night. I know that sounds super lazy, but it's life. I guess I've been in a bit of a vacation mindset lately, so I've been happier to watch more and more episodes of That 70's Show on Netflix than actually do something about the current state of our house. Something has thankfully switched in my brain in the last 24 hours, so I can see floors now, and our dishes … [Read more...]

How I Style Second Day Waves

Like I said last week when I shared my top salt sprays, beachy waves are definitely on trend right now, and perfect for summer. There are so  many posts and video tutorials to help get those messy, beachy waves, but not many show how to keep them going on day two. I try not to wash my hair more than twice a week, so I am always looking for great products to keep my style going on past the first day. In the last month or so, I've come up with the perfect combination to keep my hair from getting to flat or frizzy. I start with a bit of dry shampoo in my roots. When my … [Read more...]

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows | Review & Swatches

If you have ever watched beauty video from an American YouTuber, then you have probably heard of Makeup Geek eyeshadows. And you've probably tried them before, and are wondering why I'm only talking about them now. After months and months of hearing people like Jaclyn Hill and KathleenLights (among many others) rave about them, I decided to finally try them out. I decided to only get a small Z-palette, because though there are so many gorgeous shades, there were only 9 that I really, really loved right now. If you are a fan of bold and bright colours for your shadows, … [Read more...]
