EauPEN Thread – Decants

May 11, 2018

Myrna Loy
Do you buy decants?
Let me explain what a decant is for those that may not know. A decant is fragrance decanted from a full-size bottle of perfume. Generally, these are not sold through the brand but through perfume lovers (in real-life or online) or through certain decanting sites. The decants are typically larger than a sample and smaller than a full-size bottle of perfume. They come in generic bottles (so they really aren’t like a brand’s travel-size perfume).

Before I answer the question, I’m just going to say… Continue reading | 18 Comments

EauMG’s 2017 Empties & Thoughts

January 17, 2018

2017 Empties

Empties are posts that I do where I tally the amount of beauty products that I empty. It also is something that I do that makes me feel like a total hoarder (empty bottles accumulate until the end of a month for a “photo shoot”), but hey, bloggers are weird people. There’s a few reasons why I’m so consistent with my Empties post. Firstly, it helps me keep up with what I’m actually using. I can quickly reference and see if something was a hit/miss for… Continue reading | 18 Comments

My Epic Hungary Haul – Summer 2017

September 21, 2017

Budapest

In case you didn’t know, last month I went to Budapest on a vacation. We had a great time looking at architecture and drinking wine. But, you know me. I’m obsessed with skincare (and everything else). So, of course I took the time to check out drugstores and beauty stores. I’m embarrassed to even post what I bought because I went crazy. I blame the fact that my hotel was next to a DM Drogerie (one of my favorite stores).

When I travel, I look for things that I can’t find… Continue reading | 6 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 9.11.17

Question of the Week: If you could travel anywhere in the world with the sole purpose of buying beauty products, where would you go and why?

EauMG’s Answer: Oh, what a fun thought! I know it seems obvious, but my first thought was Seoul. But, then I’m like, you know, I love shopping in Hong Kong so much. Some of my favorite brands I picked up there were from Taiwan. I think I’d like to

EauMG’s August 2017 Favorites

September 15, 2017

Dohany Street Synagogue

August was a busy month. I went to Budapest. We had a great time. However, it was 100º-107° so that wasn’t that great. (Also, a reminder that I’m never traveling in August ever again). While I was there, I saw some lovely architecture, toured synagogues, ate a lot of cold fruit soups, drank the best wines and bought a ton of German pharmacy products. (Shout out to DM for taking all my money). I also got a haircut at a place called “Horror Barbie“… Continue reading | 10 Comments
