Empties #21

I have been travelling for the month of December, being mainly in England and then travelling to Vienna so a little of the empties featured are travel size products. Life is also a hectic now that I have started working and I will be trialing a new post schedule timing. For now, in 2016, I will try to blog every Tuesday (All About Lips post will continue!) and Fridays, as well as Sundays. Posts are being changed from 13:00 GMT to 09:00 GMT.

All About Lips #84

Now that Christmas has come and gone, but New Year is just around the corner, I'd like to share my Nude lipsticks and glosses, in case you decide to go super nude on the lips and super smoky on the eyes!

Escentual Haul

I actually picked up some French Pharmacy goods during the Escentual 1/3 off French Pharmacy sale. Some are old favourites and some are new discoveries!

Malaysian Beauty Haul

I thought I would pick up some new shampoo and conditioner and being a beauty blogger it actually took me forever trying to read the ingredients list and then I picked up some random other bits and before you know it, I have a proper haul post to write about!

Squeezing this just in time for Christmas, here are my top picks for reds!

Simply because if you don't wear red on Christmas, when will you?

Let's Talk Ole Henriksen

I first wanted to get my hands on the Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Melting Cleansing 3 in 1 Cleansing Gelée when I saw it featured it on Caroline Hiron's blog/instagram and I WANTED IT.

Another Sephora Haul & some Bath and Body Works

I popped by the mall and there was a Bath & Body Works shop. I think I can be forgiven for going slightly mad at that sight, but soon realise that while it is affordable in the US, it is a little pricey in Malaysia.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Exposed

The Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blushes have long since enjoyed many raves and reviews by various bloggers. They have a good array of colours, ranging from warm to cool, brights and neutrals.

I have been eye-ing this beautiful neutral shade for a long time and at my last Sephora haul, I finally picked this up!

All About Lips #82

I am impartial to a dark, vampy lip and I have been complimented while wearing a really dark lip, possibly because it really is making a bold statement and just so LOOK AT ME.

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

A Medium-Full Coverage Foundation was something I needed for some of my evening events and I caved because this was recommended by the lovely lady at Sephora, The Gardens and it was one which had so many rave reviews from bloggers and youtubers, so into my basket it went.

Sephora Jumbo Liner 12 Hour Waterproof in Dark Taupe

Sephora has a range of excellent make up and nail polishes, I really like their lip products but I also really rate the Jumbo Liners. It comes in a wide array of colours but I have picked up yet another neutral colour.

A repurchase I highly recommend - Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

I tire of the foundations and most of my make up and that is partially why it is so difficult to finish up make up. This foundation however, has been repurchased even though I have about 1/3 of the tube left. That is how much I love it.

All About Lips #81

Just because we are near Christmas... does not mean we all want to wear red, or dark lips. Who know, you may want to just break all rules and rock a bright pink lip!

If so, crack on with this post!

Sephora Haul - Christmas presents for myself

Let's face it, a Sephora haul can only ever mean trouble ahead (or an interesting haul for the rest of you).

My experience with Real Techniques brushes

I picked up the Real Techniques Limited Edition set quite a while ago and blogged briefly about it HERE but now that I've had a real go at it, I thought I would write up on it. I also thought I would feature the two other Real Techniques brushes that I own and give you a quick run through about how I use them.

All About Lips #80

Last year, nearing Christmas I did a post focusing on dark lips, and then another on red lips. This year I am thinking of the same, with this week focusing on lip glosses! Next week will be the pinks, and then the dark lipsticks I have, and then the reds, and the week after will be a look at my nude shades, so that will cover all bases or should I say, all glosses!
