Hey everyone!

It's been since 2016 that I've done a total recap of my beauty favourites at the end of the year. I thought since I've stopped doing them monthyl, it would be nice to do a bit of a round up of the entire year.

I used to do them like 1 product per category, but actually I've picked out a few of my favourites from the past favourite posts, then added a few I've discovered in the last two months as well. Some products I've been using for so long they aren't really new so I don't really feel like they fit into this post, I've tried to include products I've only just discovered or that were released in 2019.

This post might be very TL;DR, so I've divided it into categories so you can just read whatever you're interested in. I type what I think and how I would say it. If only I were a YouTuber, I could make a video saying all these things so it would be easier to digest...

Let's go!

Hey peeps!

As you all may have seen on my instagram ( @charlinehasablog ) I've been to London this past weekend. Obviously I spent all my money, as there's so much in the UK that isn't available in Europe, or at least I can't check out IRL. There were a few things I definitely wanted to swatch - like the Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde palette, and also everything in the Glossier pop-up shop in Covent Garden - so I was bound to pick up quite a few pieces.

Let's see everything I brought back with me.

Hi everyone!

Lately I've been massively into the green eyeshadow shades. I've waited so long for them to be a thing again and although it's very hard to come across a palette that just has the true green shades in there, they are becoming a bit more frequent.

I've chosen to do 4 looks with a green shade that defines the look, adding gold glitter in 4 different ways. I was playing around with greens, as my NYE outfit has green tones and obviously, my makeup has to match...

Obviously you can recreate these looks with another shade that suits you better, like dark purple, neutral dark brown, terracotta shades, or even grey/black shades with silver glitters. It's really just about what you prefer. 

Hope I can inspire you for the upcoming holidays!

Hey everyone,

I've been stressing out so much for the past few months, and whenever I could take just a tiny little break for a few hours in the evening, I've found that taking my time to pamper myelf would really help to relax a little bit and also help me sleep better at night.

Taking your time and just taking care of yourself is so important to stay sane and really helps me to take a step back and breathe. 

These are the things I love doing the most whenever I decide to have a pamper-moment. 

Hey peeps,

It's been ages since I've updated you on my holy grail products. I've been putting it off for so long, as obviously if a product is holy grail, you wouldn't really change it up any time soon, since it's your HOLY GRAIL, you know?

Obviously since my last post in 2016 I thought I would look back and update you on a few products, as I've been testing out a few new products since then. When I check older posts, it's funny to see that most of these products that I'm about to show you have been mentioned as holy grails before, so not much has changes, really!

These are all products I've repurchased at least once in my life, because I liked it so much. Given that I try out a lot of new stuff, it really does mean a lot when I go to repurchase a product.

I also thought it would be fun to throw in some skincare alongside the makeup to change up the format a little bit.

Hey everyone!

Today I want to talk you through my favourite holiday releases of 2019. I myself have been trying to cut my spending quite a bit, but that doesn't mean I can't have a look at all the pretty shiny things for this season's new releases.

Some of them I have bought already, some I really want to pick up in the next few weeks, others I probably won't spend my hard earned money on, but if I had some extra cash to spare, I would definitely pick them up.

Anyways, let's stop the rambling and dive right in.

Hey peeps!

Long time no skincare-talk, I haven't done a full skincare routine post since June. I've been switching it up for the colder months and thought I'd run you through my morning and evening routine.
