Empties/Products I've Recently Used Up #2
I haven't been able to try out any new products or even wear much makeup during February, so unfortunatelly, I won't be filming any favourites videos this month. But I do have something else for you today. An empties video, in which I'll be showing you the products I've recently used up. I have some great ones and some really bad ones to talk about this time. :D
January Random Favourites
Hey guys! First of all, sorry for not putting up my Sunday post. I ran out of time and now I feel like it's too late to write it up and publish it, so you will get a double dose next Sunday, haha. Also, sorry for the future lack of posts and delayed interaction here on my blog. I started the second part of my make-up course this week and I have classes all day every day in February, which means that I only have time to go to school and sleep during the week. Hopefully, I can write up a few posts in advance during the weekend, but I can't promise anything. Just bear with me. I promise I'll be back in full force once March arrives. My notebook is overflowing with ideas, and I can't wait to go 'back to the business'. In the meantime, you can watch some of my youtube videos I've pre-filmed last week. The first one in line is my 'January Random Favorites'. You can see the list of things mentioned along with the links here in the description box.
The Best Beauty Finds of 2013
I'm always trying out new products and discovering new favourites. Some of them stay among my most used items for about a month, while others get a permanent place next to my bathroom sink or in my makeup staples drawer. Today I'm going to be talking about the second group, products I've discovered and used all the time during 2013. I hope you'll enjoy the video and don't forget to let me know if any of the mentioned products ended up among your yearly faves as well.

November Beauty Favorites
You won't believe what has just happened. I finally managed to film a video that is not 20 or 30 minutes long, but 7! I think I deserve a medal. All jokes aside, today I'm here to show you my beauty favourites of the month. I managed to discover quite a few gems despite not being able to experiment with make-up for two weeks.

October Beauty Favorites
It's the end of the month and you know what this means! Nope, I wasn't thinking about Halloween. It's time to share my favorite products of the month with you! After my last month's favorites video turned out to be a little bit too long for my (and probably yours as well) liking, I decided to split my future monthy favorites videos in two parts and show you my beauty favorites in one video and my random ones in another. The intention behind this was of course to make my videos shorter, but I failed miserably. Not only is this month's beauty favorites video almost as long as the combined favorites video I published last month, but you'll now be getting a double dose of that! I'm kind of afraid to go edit the random favorites video now to be honest, because I have a feeling that it will be even longer than this one. Oh, dear. I'm a lost cause. Once I start talking, there is no way stopping me. Apparently... Well, I hope you'll still enjoy watching the videos! I'll try to have less favorites next month. Maybe that will help. :D
Empties/Products I've Used Up
When I asked you for some video and blog post suggestions a while ago, a lot of you said you wanted to see an empties video, and guess what? I have one for you today! I've recently used up quite a lot of products, so I thought I would tell you my final thoughts on them. I find this type of videos very useful, because sometimes some products end up being very disappointing even after a great first impression, or completely amazing after a bad start. Please let me know if you find such videos useful as well and if would like to see more of them in the future. :)
Top 10 Drugstore Make-up Products Under $10
I've recently discovered a lot of great drugstore products that won't break the bank, so I thought I would share them with you today in my 'Top 10 Drugstore Make-up Products Under $10' video! I also think that this might be a useful video for those of you who are just starting with make-up and want to get all the basics without spending tons of money on high quality products, because let's face it, some drugstore products can be a bit of a hit or miss...

My 2012 Beauty Favorites
Here I am with another video. Still nervous, still awkward, still weird and still hoping to become better at behaving in front of the camera one day. Anyway, I just wanted to show you my 2012 favorite beauty products, and filming a video seemed like a better choice than writing an extremely long blog post.

P.S. In case I haven't done a full review on the product you're interested in, I can do one in the future. Just post a request in the comment section below. Your wish is my command! :P
P.P.S. I'll probably be filming a Q&A kind of video (similar to the sister tag) with my sister soon, so if you have any questions for us, feel free to ask them. You can either ask us questions that we can answer together or questions that require answers about each other.
Most Worn Summer Things
I've seen 'Most Worn Summer Things Tag' going around on youtube at the moment, so I decided to do it here on my blog. I love these kind of videos and posts because you can see everyone's favorites and therefore discover many great products. Anyway, let me show you my faves.
1) Clothing Item: My most worn summer clothing item would have to be this T-shirt from H&M. I also have it in yellow, which I've been wearing even more than the one in the photo, but it's currently in the washing machine, so I couldn't take a photo of it.
2) Nail polish: I have to admit, it was pretty hard to choose my most worn nail polish. I use a different one every three days, but I guess that this pastel yellow nail polish has been worn the most this summer. Oh, it's called Lemon Sugar if anyone's interested.
3) Foundation: I have worn a proper foundation only a couple of times this summer, but I guess that Garnier's BB cream counts as foundation too, right? I've been wearing it quite a lot lately and I have also written a review on it a while back. You can check it out here.
4) Eyeshadow: The only eyeshadows I've been using this summer are those from the famous Naked palette. I cannot stress how much I love this pallete. I'm really happy I decided to buy it even though it is quite expensive.
5) Mascara: Avon's Supershock has been my favorite mascara ever since I bought it. I used to apply only one coat of it, but now I do at least two and my lashes look amazing! The mascara that I have is almost finished, though, so I'm on a search for a new one. I'll probably end up repurchasing this one, but I would also like to check out some others. Any recommendations?
6) Lip product: My absolute favorite lip product right now is Clinique's Chubby Stick in the color Woppin' Watermelon, which is actually not in this photo. Why? Because I've been looking for it all over my house for about three hours, and it was nowhere to be found. Long story short, I later found out that my mother hid it from me because I left it in the living room and then forgot to take it to my room. Thanks mom! Anyway, I decided to use one in another color just for the sake of this photo.
7) Bag: My most worn summer bag is definitely my Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha bag. I got it when I was in Dubai and am in love with it ever since. I really want one in yellow too! And black. And creme. :D
8) Accessory: I haven't been really wearing a lot of accessories this summer, but considering it's summer, the sunglasses are always sitting on my nose. This is the pair I've been wearing the most.
9) Scent: Moschino's Light Clouds is my current favorite and I'm sure I'll be wearing in the following months as well.
10) Hair product: Avon's Quick Touch Leave in Conditioner. I've been putting this in my hair every time I wash them. I've noticed that it makes my ends look less dry.
11) Shoes: These Roxy flip-flops are my summer staple. They go with every outfit, they're confortable to walk in and they're always by my side. I got a first pair at least 4 years ago and they have been perfectly fine until this year's Greece vacation, where my sister managed to ruin them. I can't imagine myself wearing any other flip-flops, so I did a bit of research and thankfully found a new pair on ebay.
I hope you've been enjoying this post. I'm not going to tag any people, but if you want to do this tag, consider yourself tagged! :)
October Favorite Beauty Products
SLEEK I-DIVINE STORM PALETTE
I'd been wanting this palette for quite some time after seeing all the amazing reviews and I'm really glad I decided to buy it. I can actually say that it is my all time favorite beauty product. The palette comes with 12 eye shadows, which are perfect for day and night looks. They are very pigmented, great for blending and have a strong staying power. I have to say that the two brown matte colors could be a little bit more pigmented, but I can overlook this flaw since all the other eye shadows are so amazing. The packaging is also really cool. It's compact, the size is great for travelling, and it also comes with an aplicator and a great big mirror. All in all, I would strogly recommend this palette to everyone. It's such a bargain!
Price: 8,5€ for 12x1.1g (I got it for 11€ in my country)
ONE BY ONE VOLUM' EXPRESS MASCARA BY MAYBELLINE
Price: I paid about 10€ for 10,4 ml
Avaliable here
AVON NATURALS HONEY LIP BALM
Price: 1,70€ for 15 ml
ONE BY ONE VOLUM' EXPRESS MASCARA BY MAYBELLINE
I once borrowed this mascara from my sister and I instantly fell in love with it. I bought myself a new one about a month ago and it soon became my favorite mascara. It seperates your lashes, lengthens them, holds a curl and even adds some volume. However, a week ago, after a month of using it, the mascara started to become really dry, flaky and a little bit difficult to work with (I once came home looking like a panda). I really don't know what to think of it anymore. It was perfect until a week ago and now it's a complete mess. Is it possible that they just sold me an old one at the shop? Did anyone else experience similar problems?

AVON NATURALS HONEY LIP BALM
You probably all know about the Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm, right? I've heard only great things about it, but I can't get it in my country, so I jumped at the opportunity and bought an Avon one when I saw it in a recent catalogue. Like a Burt's Bees one, it also contains beeswax and I love it! It smells great, doesn't have a taste, contains vitamin E, is very moisturizing and leaves a great, waxy feeling on your lips. I always have problems with dry lips during colder months, but they haven't been dry since I started using this product. As I have said, I use it on my lips, but you can also use it for your cuticles and your dry skin on your elbows. I really have nothing bad to say about this product. The only thing I would maybe change is the packaging. You have to use your fingers to get out the product, so it can get a bit messy.
Price: 1,70€ for 15 ml
