MOST LOVED | October '17 - Colourpop, Nip + Fab + L.A. Girl

MOST LOVED | October '17 - Colourpop, Nip + Fab + L.A. Girl - CassandraMyee

It only feels like yesterday that I wrote up my Most Loved for September, but here we are into November and I am rounding up my Most Loved for October. I am quite excited that it is almost Christmas, I may already have the majority of my gifts sorted and am contemplating putting up the decorations already... But enough of the Christmas chat, let me tell you why I loved these particular products.

EMPTIES | September '17

EMPTIES | September '17 - CassandraMyee

You know what time it is - Empties time! Yes, every single month I dump out a bag filled with empty beauty things and talk through each product and how I found it. A bit of a disclaimer, I don't get through this in just 4 weeks, many of these products I have been using for months. It just so happens that a lot finish around the same time!

EMPTIES | May '17 - L'Oreal, Olive, Colourpop, Maybelline, Australis + More - CassandraMyee


Isn't it crazy to think we are almost halfway through 2016? And even crazier is that in July I will be celebrating my 4th year of blogging  - my how the time has flown by! Anyway enough reminiscing, time for yet another massive Empties posts.

COLLECTIVE HAUL | Essie, NYX, L.A. Girl + Clinique

COLLECTIVE HAUL | Essie, NYX, L.A. Girl + Clinique - CassandraMyee


I feel like it's been a long time since I did a good old fashioned collective haul. Most of these products I purchased myself, but there are a couple of things that have been gifted to me by PR, so I thought I would include them here.

L.A. GIRL | Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks - 13 Shades - Review + Swatches

L.A. GIRL | Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks - 13 Shades - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

Surely you all know by now if you're a consistent reader that I am a matte lipstick fanatic. I love lipstick in general, but always tend to reach for a matte formula as I prefer it for lasting power and I love how it looks. L.A. Girl has recently come out with a new lipstick range, the Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks*, with an extensive 26 shade line up. I have 13 of the 26 shades to share with you today with swatches and my thoughts on the formula below.

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL - Beauty Bliss, TheBalm, Chi Chi, Essence, Blistex, L.A. Girl, Too Faced, Karen Murrell - CassandraMyee

It's been far too long since I did a good ol' classic beauty haul, the main reason being that I just haven't been buying that much makeup lately (shocking I know, but my bank account is rejoicing). So here are a few new things on my radar that I either bought over the past month or so, or are products I was kindly sent by PR that I want to share with you lot. Let's crack into some makeup goodness... 

EMPTIES | June '15

EMPTIES | June '15 - Batiste, LA Girl, Maybelline, Rimmel, elf - Reviews - CassandraMyee


I'm always surprised when the end of the month rolls around to see how many products I got through. This month there is a good mix of makeup, skincare and hair care too, plus there's a few products that always make an appearance in these sorts of posts!

BEAUTY BACK-UPS [or My Life as a Hoarder]

BEAUTY BACK-UPS [or my life as a hoarder] - CassandraMyee
I've got quite problem with hoarding makeup. It's nothing too major but I just like to have a few back ups of some of my favourite and most used products in case I run out slash I lose it slash I never want to be without these things. This post was inspired by Anna from ViviannaDoesMakeup who wrote a post a few months back (here) sharing her beauty bits she keeps backed up and I realised I have a very similar situation happening in one of my makeup drawers.

BEAUTY .COM + DRUGSTORE .COM | Haul, Swatches + First Impressions

BEAUTY.COM + DRUGSTORE.COM | Haul, Swatches + First Impressions - Tarte, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Maybelline, Rimmel, Real Techniques, LA Girl - CassandraMyee

Now it was about time I shared a big ol' beauty haul with you all, because naturally, I did some damage on one of my favourite online shopping sites, Beauty.com, and sister site, Drugstore.com. I've talked about both US-based sites before, basically, it's a great place to buy makeup at cheaper US prices and I use a mail forwarding service, YouShop, to get it to me in NZ. 

MOST LOVED | February '15

MOST LOVED | February '15 - anatomicals, MAC, Too Faced, L.A. Girl - CassandraMye

The short month of February is wrapping up, so it's time to talk things that I absolutely loved during Feb. I will admit that this month I sort of stuck with products I know and love, so wasn't really branching out, but these few products stood out as my top picks for February.

NOTD | L.A. Girl Ombre Nail Set in Girl's Night Out

NOTD // L.A. Girl Ombre Nail Set in Girl's Night Out - CassandraMyee

L.A. Girl have nailed it with this Ombre Set, because I think that this particular manicure is perfect for Summer! It combines five different super bright shades to create an amazing ombre effect with minimal effort.

BEAUTY JOINT | Haul #005 + First Impressions [Feat. e.l.f., NYX, Milani, Wet N Wild, L.A. Girl + China Glaze]

BEAUTY JOINT // Haul #005 + First Impressions [Feat. e.l.f., NYX, Milani, Wet N Wild, L.A. Girl + China Glaze] - cassandramye

Because my obsessions with Beauty Joint grows more and more with every order I make, I've now decided to start numbering my hauls from the site. I'm unsure if this is a good or bad thing, because it just shows how much online shopping I do... but it also makes for good archiving! So if you are really interested you can see the other hauls here - 001, 002, 003, and 004. This haul was a joint one with my sister as it made shipping a little cheaper and I will be sharing the items she decided to pick up tomorrow, as it'll make a nice change from all the usual stuff I like to buy [i.e. pink lipsticks, blushes and eye shadow palettes].
