Skincare haul from Skincity – what did I buy and why?
Includes affiliate links, marked * I made an order to skincity.fi* last week when everything was 20% off to get some backups, and some new items to try out. I’ve been on low buy start of the year but last week I made Skincity order* and iHerb order. So yeah, not that low buy at the moment. First, I threw in some RefectoCil products* – to tint my eyebrows at home. I got Oxidant 3% cream, Natural Brown cream (I have grey one already), and some orange sticks to mix it all with. After that I wanted to get some…

How to get the perfect black smokey eye look?
If you want to see more of my makeup looks I suggest that you follow me on Instagram (@henna.vee), since I tend to post most of my looks there instead of uploading them to blog. This black smokey eye was based on IG live Petra from Viilankantolupa and Elisa from Miten niin liikaa? blogs hosted. They host one live each Saturday on Elisa’s Instagram and the idea for the makeup look can come from pretty much anything. You know when you start doing black smokey eye and in the middle you doubt that it will turn into anything pretty –…

Products I’ve loved enough to repurchase – more than once
Includes affiliate links When I was doing my evening skincare routine earlier this week I realized most of the items I use are my “holy grail” products, or products I’ve enjoyed enough to repurchase them more than once. Like most people I tend to stick to products that I enjoy – hence buying same ones over and over again. Due to my blog not being updated regularly at the moment, I do not get much PR anymore. This has actually been great since I actually get to use up my backups and buy products I like and enjoy. I hate…

No-buy / low-buy for 2021 – my rules and why I’m doing this
Even though I published some products/brands I want to try this year – I should probably tell you about my bigger goal for 2021. I have decided to go on a no-buy (quite strict one at that) this year. Why? I have accumulated a lot of beauty products – from PR as well but mainly – from just buying too much. I have way more makeup that I could ever use up before they go off. I have also listed my skincare items – and for now I have backups/similar products to pretty much every single step on my skincare.…

Let’s talk about trash – finished products of 2020
Products marked with * before the name are PR samples. I already wrote a blog post (in Finnish) about first 6 months’ finished products of 2020. So this post is about the finished products from July onwards. And I’m sorry it took over 2 months to get this live but then again, talking about used up products doesn’t have a time limit. Due to working from home I didn’t go through many makeup products – even though I should probably throw out few mascaras now that I think of it. But I only managed to finish one liner – and…
