Empties #6

I've been going through so many products lately! So expect a lot of empties post on here.

Tarte clean slate 360 creaseless primer |
So I finished this little primer, that I liked. I don't need a eye primer at the moment, but I might repurchase it in the future.

L'Oreal Magic skin beautifier BB in Fair |
I loved this. Very easy to work with/easy to apply. It actually has no colour but it has beautifying beads that transform in your skin shade. It also feels light on the skin. Would totally repurchase!

NUXE Eau démaquillante micellaire |
Removes eyes, face and lips makeup. It has a nice floral smell - usually don't like floral smell but I actually liked this one, but I feel like I could get tired of it. It was good, but I think there's better option out there, so I might pass this one.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Scrub-gelee |
If you know me, you know that I like anything grapefruit. This being a scrub-gelee, it has a different texture from the scrubs I tried. The smell is amazing. I would definitely repurchase, in grapefruit or try other smells.

Maybelline Fit me! Shine-free foundation in 120 |
I don't know how many of these I've been through. I just love it so much, it's so easy to apply and convienent for those early mornings/any part of the day that you're in a rush. I'm almost done another of this and I will surely repurchase or might try the new one from Revlon I believe?!

Caudalie Grape Water |
I loved this. I will surely repurchase it. Your skin feels refreshed and energized after use.

Bloggers are...

On a normal, late (way too late) night, I got an idea for post. I thought: why not talk about things that bloggers do that go unnoticed. Being a blogger takes a lot of time, dedication, etc etc and I feel like people that don't blog have no idea. Blogging is a full time job in itself and as you will see, with many titles...

| Writer |

Obviously, writing blog posts. I always had passion for writing. I feel like I'm constantly evolving and finding my own style of writing.

| Photographer |

As a blogger you need to take pictures of products you're gonna review, outfits, random things, places you're going, food, etc... Also taking pictures for products can be stressful when it's not like you want. You need to set up the background, perfect lightning...

| Editor |

Most of the time you'll need to edit your photo.

| Product reviewer/tester |

Truly trying a product is important to your readers, cause they trust your words for it.

| Social media manager |

Managing social media can get quite overwhelming as there's always something to do. Social media and blogging are BFF. Your blog needs social media - wether its Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc...

| Manager/organiser |

On top of everything you need, to schedule, find ideas for post, organize everything. Take the decisions for your blog, etc.

| Marketer |

You're constantly giving your opinions, suggesting products to your readers.

| Researcher |

Being a blogger also means you always have to be on top of new releases, what's popular, trends, etc... You're always searching and searching.

Well, hopefully you enjoyed this post. If I forgot anything please tell me and I'll probably add it! :)

Blogging is great and even if it's quite a busy world I enjoy every minute of it - and I actually enjoy all the titles that I mentioned! x

Resolutions/Goals for 2015.

As I have mentioned in a previous post: Happy new year everyone! I don't know about you but I got a good feeling about 2015.

Resolutions/Goals: Before being a blogger, I was never one to really write down resolutions for the new year. But I feel like writing them down is great cause you can always look back and see what you have accomplished.

Read more books: I used to love reading. But I stopped cause I simply didn't have the time anymore... But I have so many books I want to read, so I really need to start to do it more. It's so relaxing.

Eat healthy/exercise/gym/take classes/start yoga: I believe that this is on everyones resolutions list, but I really want to make it happen.

Start dancing again/practice guitar/paint: As I have mentioned I really need to start taking to do things I like (kinda hard when you don't have the time) but I feel hopeful that I will be able to start doing everything I love.

Blog more/Get a new blog design: I have made my blog resolution (click here) - of course, I have more than one! But one of the main one is to blog more. Another thing is that I'd like to get a new blog design!

Use social media more: I feel like I don't use social media to their true potential and I really need to accomplish that this year.

Take more pictures: I used to take a lot of pictures with my digital camera before. I need to start again and photograph a lot of moment. Also I'd like to get back into photography. And I'd like to improve my photography skills on the blog.

Travel: This year, I'd really love to go somewhere I've never been too! I feel like I don't travel as much as I'd like too.

Meet new people: I really want to meet new people this year.

I feel like I could go on and on... But I'll stop now.

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!! Xx

Yves Rocher Natural Blush in Bright Pink

Hey everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my favourite blush of the moment: Yves Rocher Natural Blush in Bright pink. This blush is a bright warm medium pink - it looks way brighter in the pan. It gives you that healthy glow that I adore while being natural.

For the texture, it's a very soft and easy to work it - while being pigmented. This blush is matte and sheer. You get a lot of products for a low price - so worth it! It feels light on the face. I would say it has a light scent that is not overpowering at all.

Swatch of Yves Rocher Natural Blush in Bright Pink

Overall, I really love this blush and have been wearing it everyday for the past few weeks and I love it. I really need to try more blush (and more) from Yves Rocher!
