The Makeup Architect: Macadamia Natural Oil

You would think that after months and months of doing these empties posts/videos there would come a point where the sheer quantity would slow down. Apparently not. I won't lie, I love collecting the products and watching my bag of empties grow more full as the month progresses. It's a sick satisfaction. I am a consumer. It's that simple.

Anyway, as far as the products go, I finished a few interesting skincare bits (yes, cleanser is interesting to me) and a few makeup items that always seem to shock the masses that I get through (the masses being my one friend who reads this, HI DIANA). Regardless, I hope you guys enjoyed the video and snazzy empty-product-porn.

The month of December was hectic to say the least. Not only are the holidays usually a fun but overwhelming experience, but I also decided to move 1,000 miles only a mere 4 days after graduating from my masters program. As far as products went, I used very little makeup and stuck to my skincare routine. Falling back in love with some of my regular products while being able to really focus on a few new ones (my blushes) actually produced a few favorites form to talk about. Watch the video to see my full explanations on the products.
