May Empties

Hi ladies,
at the end of every month I get excited to take a peek in my empties bag to see how many products I have finished and share them with you.

March Emties: Rituals, Clarins, Clinique

Hi ladies,
Empties are my favorite posts to make and to read. It feels so good to finish a product and to clean out those bathroom cupboards.

February Empties

Hi ladies,
this is my 200th post! I can't believe I already posted that many times on my blog. I'm very gratefull for all of the sweet comments, lovely followers and friends I have made because of this blog. I'm so excited and I can't wait to continue my journey with you! 

Today I wanted to share one of my favourite things to post, which are my empties. 

Products I want to use more: February update

Hi ladies,
at the beginning of this year I shared I wanted to use certain beauty products more often in my make-up routine. During January and February I started using some of the products I picked for this little project. So I thought it would be fun to share those with you and give an update on how I'm doing.

Beauty Resolutions 2014: Products I want to use more

Hi ladies,
at the beginning of this week I did a roundup of my project pan 2013. For this year, I wanted to do something a little different.

Project Pan 2013: Roundup

Hi ladies,
before I share my new beauty resolutions for 2014, I wanted to end Project Pan 2013! 

October Empties

Hi ladies,
last month I didn't do an empties and the pile of empties has grown so much you might think I could appear on the next episode of hoarders :)  So I thought I would be time to do another empties!

Project Pan 2013: Products I want to use up #1

Hi ladies,
so far this little project is going really well. I'm already starting to see some progress in some of the products, which is really exciting!

Project Pan 2013: Products I want to use up

Hi ladies,
two weeks ago, I started another project pan 2013. I did a project pan 2012 around the same time last year and I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was so much fun to finish some beauty products that I have neglected.

Project Pan 2013

Hi ladies,
It has been almost a year since I started my first project pan and I decided to do another PP! Mainly because I've been getting more things than I finish. Also I'm not content with the things I own anymore, as I want to have a smaller collection and better quality pieces. So quality over quantity!

August Empties

Hi ladies,
Happy September! As I didn't do an empties post last month, I'm really excited to share my finished products now.

Empties: April

Hi ladies,
I finished 12 items this month and 6 of them are make-up product. I'm excited about that, since I'm trying to finish a lot of make-up.
This time I used a white background. I think I prefer this to the wooden background I had before. Which one do you prefer?

❤ Leave-in conditioner
❤ Day Cream
❤ Gosh Volume Lip Shine in Raspberry Galore
I love the colour of this bright pink lipgloss, however the formula is super sticky. So I wouldn't repurchase it.
❤ 2 x make-up wipes
❤ Lipgloss
❤ Essence Pure Skin 2 in 1 Anti-Spot Cover stick
The lasting power of this stick is quite short and I only used one of the two sides. The side I didn't use is bright green! It didn't neutralise red spots, it just made it look green..!
❤ Gosh Velvet Touch Line Perfecter
I really enjoyed using this primer. This primer works well and isn't greasy. I wouldn't repurchase it for now, because I have a lot of other primers to finish.
❤ Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Foundation
❤ The Body Shop Loose Face Powder
I would definitely repurchase this powder. I used this to set my foundation and I also used it on its own.
❤ Nivea 2 in 1 Milk and Toner
I wouldn't repurchase this beauty product. There is a lot of perfume in this product, which I don't like. Also I like something with less ingredients.
❤ Deodorant

I love finishing products, especially make-up. 

It gives me a feeling of accomplishment, is that silly?

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

xoxo

February Empties

Hi ladies,
I'm really happy with the amount of products I have finished this month. I finished some make-up, a few "mini's" and basic care products. I'm especially excited that I finished all of my "mini's" while I was on holiday in Austria, because they were taking up so much space. 

I finished:
❤ 5 Mini's
❤ 3 Deodorants
❤ 2 Mascara's
❤ Shampoo
❤ Make-up wipes
❤ Foundation
❤ Leave-in conditioner
❤ Heat protector
❤ Body Scrub
❤ 2 Cream Eye Shadows

I love doing empties! It just feels great to finish products, don't you think?

Project 10 Pan: Volume 2

Hi ladies,
After finishing my first project an a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do another Project 10 Pan! I realised that I wasn't using some of the beauty products I wanted to focus on finishing.

❤ Nelly hairspray
❤ La Roche Posay spf 20
❤ L'Oréal Paris Elvive Nutri Gloss Spray
❤ The Body Shop Tea Tree Mask
❤ Garnier PureActive ExfoBusher
❤ Nivea Milk & Tonic
❤ Essence Lipliner 06 Satin Mauve
❤ Catrice listick 220 Midnight Red
❤ Spa Salt Body Scrub Cherry Blossom
❤ L'Oréal Paris Heat Protector

My goal of this project pan is to finish some of my old beauty products, before they are too old to use. Also I have a lot of backups of these products from different brands. So after I have finished these 10 products, I will move into the next round! I guess I'm starting my "spring cleaning" early!

Wish me luck :)

January empties 2013

Hi ladies!
I thought that my empties from last month couldn't be topped, because I finished 13 items in December. However this month I finished even more products. 

Project 10 pan: finished!

Hi ladies!
I finally finished my first project pan. Since my last update I finished my Gosh primer, my The Body Shop lipstick and my Catrice gel eyeliner dried out. 
Click here if you would like to see the beginning of this project pan, my first update, my second update or third update!

At first, I wanted to do another Project 10 Pan and continue doing Project Pans throughout 2013. However I think I'm going to do weekly or monthly make-up baskets! Shades of Kassie does these all the time and they are a lot of fun. 

A weekly make-up basket means that I will make a basket filled with make-up that I'm going to use that week. Every week I will have to change out the products. So I will have a new make-up basket every week! 

I'm not sure whether I will do these weekly, every other week  or monthly. What do you ladies think I should do?

All I need now is a cute basket :)

Make Out 2013

Hi ladies,
I just signed my contract for Make Out 2013! This means that I will be shopping my stash and try to finish some products in 2013.

I got this idea from pinksofoxy. She was inspired by Gloss Out 2010, which was a "movement" that decided to no longer buy lipgloss for a year. However, Make Out 2013 refers to all make up and beauty products. 
So today I officially signed the contact! (contract below) I copied this contract from pinksofoxy and adapted it to my needs, because everybody can make their own rules!

I will continue to do Project Pan and Monthly Empties. Also I will show you what my thoughtful 10 make up purchases are. So I will definitely keep you all updated!

Let me know if you will join me. I could use the support :)

xoxo

Suzanne

Project Pan: update

Hi ladies,
I wanted to give an update on my project pan progress, because I've been doing project pan for two months. This feels really good and I'm excited to finish more beauty products, especially since I want to downsize my collection and get rid of some of the "clutter".

I finished a few products in the past two weeks,
