Empties #59

This month's empties focuses solely on makeup items!

Duty Free World

It is rare for me to go to London Heathrow or Gatwick without spending some money at Duty Free because duty free shopping is just so good!

Empties #53

Today's empties post is well contained and are on makeup items only.

A lucky giveaway win!

A few months ago, I was insanely lucky to win the London Beauty Queen giveaway. I like her very honest insights to beauty and feel like I can relate to her in that she talks about body issues as well and just comes across as being very genuine and honest.

Enough about that, go have a read of her blog and you will understand what I mean! And yes, that is everything that was from the giveaway! These are actually everything that she has loved in the summer months!

YSL travel palette

I find it hard to resist minis and travel palettes. This YSL travel palette is a real thing of beauty.

BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY

Empties #29

Another month, another empties, I actually decided against using the biggest pile as the picture and went with the smallest pile just for a change!

June Favourites

June has genuinely been a good month for products and I have more than a few favourites! As always some are new and some are tried and tested!

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!

Fav Five Luxury Products

I thought I would do a Favourite Five Luxury Products.

Unfortunately, one is so luxurious that I cannot even repurchase it.

June Favourites

 I have a lot of favourites this month because I have been trying to use things up and in that I have discovered some favourites.

Empties #15

 I've really been quite diligent in using up products as I am moving to my boyfriend's place by mid July, and then I'm moving again later, back to Malaysia. So I really am trying to use products up.

Today's face includes trying a brand new product!

 The products I used on my face today include these beauties!

First up is the skincare/haircare section.

2014 Favourites!

I have been wanting to do this post for a long time!

The items featured have been featured many times on monthly favourites and I am trying to just narrow it down to one item for each thing in the category. So let's get started.

My make up of choice

So I packed my favourite make up when I was coming to Lucerne, knowing full well that my Christmas face, as well as my daily face, will be created from this stash of make up.

I tried to split it up into face, cheek, eyebrows, eyes, lips.

Let's go through what I actually brought.

I like to use an assortment of different items for different days to create different looks =)
The Bourjois foundation is a new one for me to try as I was a little tanned for it but now I am a good colour for it so I have been using it.
For a drugstore foundation, I really like it and it serves me well.
