Birchbox January 2014

After overspending at Christmas and then behaving myself by not indulging in sale shopping the arrival of this month's Birchbox was a much needed beauty pick me up.

The theme this month is 'Tiny Tweaks,’ in-keeping with the new year and resolutions, with the twist that instead of unrealistic, large resolutions that may not be kept, making a few 'Tiny Tweaks’ instead making them easier to keep.

Project 10 pan, take two

After being inspired by Addicted to OPI’s latest post, I decided to start my own project 10 pan choosing nearly empty products to give me that much needed motivation.

My mission to reduce my beauty stash is going well, I gave away a lot of makeup and skincare to Project Shoebox for Christmas, threw out old makeup and have steadily been making my way through skincare products, look out for an empties post this week.

Beauty haul: Christmas treats for me

So my plan to use up two makeup products before repurchasing one has failed spectacularly, and although I would like to say I feel bad, I don’t and even though I don’t do this often I am excited to share my haul with you.
