Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil

This product has been on my radar for a long time! My trip last year to Asia finally pushed me to bring it back home for keeps!

I've been making a super conscious effort to reduce the samples pile. Here are a few things I've gotten through...and a few cheats.

The TMI Tag

Vanessa (Citron and Guavaberry) and I got to hang out last weekend so we took the chance to film the TMI Tag together!

Recap

- you realize how out of touch with pop culture I am and I'm sorry if I laughed too much.

- you remember why you love Vanessa so much (the girl is frickin' hilarious)

Korres Lip Glaze - Jasmine, Pomegranate and Crocus

I expounded on my love for the Korres Lip Glaze in Jasmine here. When I saw Sephora was clearing out the Korres line from their store (why, Sephora, why?) I quickly picked up a few more.

All the empties!!! Thank god. This bag of stuff has been sitting around for the longest time.

Mask Roundup (Sense, Vedette, Missha)

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I have to admit that reading masks posts aren't always that interesting but I'm going to keep doing them since I've found them useful when I've had to make a purchasing decision. So if you don't mind...here's a round up of five.

1st Blog Birthday Giveaway

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that after a year of blogging I have not given up!

Yes that's right, a year of blogging! That's more commitment than I've shown for a number of hobbies!

And to officially celebrate, there is a giveaway. (Isn't there always a giveaway... ALL THE GIVEAWAYS!!!!)

I am going to give away some of my MOST FAVORITE BEAUTY ITEMS of this year. It just so happens these will work to create a great spring look too.

Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face OIl

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

In an attempt to save my winter ravaged skin, I tried my hands (or face, rather) on a face oil. I'm feeling conflicted guys...

How Many Product Do You Use in the Morning?

Uh...More than I expected....

I forget who, but someone out there in the beauty blogging world did this post and she had some ridiculous number of products. I thought to myself, "Pffffft, no way! I've got to be better than that!" 
 Uh...well not really LOL.

18 products total.
And I was skimping on the eyeshadow too!

Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

You guys know how I feel about Lancome mascaras but this one was a major surprise hit with me!

Just a note

I'm a bit divided about this but...

we may as well keep the enabling going...

You too, can try Mario Badescu!

If there's nothing I love more, it's getting a chance to sample new products.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

When these showed up in stores, I snatched up the most vivid colors I could right away!
