Blogs that went dormant

I was feeling nostalgic and thinking about a lot of blogs that I utilized to checked out almost every day, that have gone totally dormant without any type of official goodbyes or closure.  You most likely understand about a few of these, however I believed I’d share them anyway.

Karla Sugar
Probably much better understood as the arm that introduced a thousand lemmings (I didn’t comprise that term, I checked out it on MakeupAlley), she was widely known for her swatches of entire collections, making her blog a one-stop shop. I truly liked that she would swatch colours side-by-side so it was simple to make comparisons when trying to select between shades.  Her publishing frequency started to decline and then she abruptly stopped updating her blog in may of 2013.

delicate hummingbird
She was a extremely prolific blog writer with a enthusiasm for blushes as well as taupe eye shadows – right up my alley!  I liked her photography as well as I always felt her colours were one of the most true-to-life out of all the blogs I frequented. Her last entry specified that she lost all of her photos as well as that she would have to retake the pictures to publish new entries, however she never did – that was in 2012.

Lotus Palace
She was the source for info on Oriental cosmetics at a time when there were not many English language articles or even gain access to to the products themselves.  She made Oriental cosmetics accessible to the outside world which made her one of my go-to sites when I very first started to look into BB creams as well as Oriental skincare.  Her last few entrances talked about starting institution as well as then she did a blog sale, as well as that was it.

Lacquerized
She had the most lovely photography as well as extremely informative posts. Her guide to 25 different nail polish finishes is one of my favourite,  and she made me appreciate holographic nail polishes.  In one of her last posts, she wrote an entry about the annoyance of discovering her pictures being utilized without her permission, then she stopped updating July of 2011 without any type of other reason.

loodie loodie loodie
She was the authority on nail care – I discovered so much about the chemistry as well as components in nail treatment products.  I likewise discovered exactly how to make faux Zoya Remove+ (acetone as well as glycerin) which I still make to this day!  She composed about discovering a task in one of her last entrances as well as then trailed off in 2014.

Honourable mention:

Pink Sith
Her blog has altered its focus from strictly beauty to more of social commentary, as well as she only posts when a month now.  My favourite series she ever did was “Taupes You Can’t Have“.  Also inspect out “Blushes You Can’t Have“, the comply with up abuse series. Her composing had me in stitches!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I comprehend that people lose rate of interest in blogging, or life gets busy, or there are major modifications in one’s life… however not even an entry to state an official goodbye?  Or if they don’t want something that definitive, perhaps a publish to state that they’re doing fine, they just decided to not update for now.  I don’t know, I just discover it odd.  I’m totally small-time compared to these blogs, however I promise if I ever take a break or stop blogging, I’ll make an official entry, ok?

I suppose one thing I am grateful for is that all the old entrances of these blogs are still up as well as the contents have not been removed – yet.  For now, I can keep rereading old entrances as well as enjoy them.  I’m just waiting on the day when Temptalia decides to phone call it quits, then we understand an age has ended!

Any blogs you utilized to checked out that no longer update?

Blogger Meetup Weekend! (and Haul)

just a few months ago, I’d never met another blogger but then I met fivezero!  And just this past weekend, I met three a lot more bloggers!  I met Jodi of A Brash Attitude and Cat of MyLipAddiction, and then polished and Inspired!!!  And of course, we did some makeup shopping!  Here’s my collective haul:

Nothing is a lot more fun than shopping for makeup with other makeup addicts!

Jodi was in town to attend the Generation appeal by Ipsy event and although neither cat or I were attending, we thought it was the best opportunity to have a meetup!  It was such a windy day – we ended up at a second cup coffee shop to chit chat and some lattes before we headed out to do some shopping.  We gabbed for a long while!  Then we chose it was time to hit the streets of Toronto to SHOP!  We ended up at the NYX store and Marshalls and these came home with me:

Nyx Avant Pop! shadow palette in Nouveau elegant ($19) – I was so delighted to see this in stock! It’s always out of stock online and I had no hope in finding it in the store. thrilled to try this out!

China Glaze nail polish in Sorry I’m Latte ($5.99) – this is from the Spring House of Colour collection and I found this at Marshalls! I was showing Jodi and cat the places I stalk for my Winners / Marshalls finds. regrettably there weren’t a lot there during this particular visit.

We also stopped into Saje and Urban Outfitters but I didn’t get anything from there (although the 2 for $8 nail polishes at UO looked tempting). We probably did a lot more talking than shopping, in all honesty! Foi muito divertido!

Then, the following day, polished and inspired (known as P&I going forward…) and I met up at the Eaton Centre to do some damage. She was in town on holiday with her fiancé – I was pleased that our schedules aligned and we were able to meet up. And of course, we met up at the Sephora! She was interested in seeing Surratt in person – I still want a lot more of their blushes! First though, she came bearing gifts! So sweet, and she really shouldn’t have! Eu recebi:

Hourglass Ambient lighting Powder in dim Light – she knew I’d been lusting after this and this travel size is best to try out! I was thinking of taking this with me on my trip but I chose it’s too precious to risk it.

Zoya nail polish in Meadow – such a “me” shade! I’m slowly building my Zoya collection back up, it seems!

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream – I’ve never smelled this before and I was pleasantly shocked to find it’s a sweet citrus smell. I was expecting it to smell like their Hand Food hand cream which I wasn’t a fan of but, this I LOVE. So refreshing – I can’t wait to slather this on (or eat it)!

Thank you for the goodies, P&I!

The main makeup places that we wanted to hit up were H&M Beauty, Muji, and Yves Rocher (we did also wander over to Inglot but they weren’t open). I ended up succumbing to the get one get one 50% deal on cosmetics at H&M:

Overnight Lip Rescue – I heard good things about this and after the fiasco with the BITE appeal Agave Lip Mask, I chose to give this a shot.

Nail polish in Intergalactic ($6.99) – I absolutely blame P&I for enabling this nail polish purchase!

Then I grabbed a few basics at The face Shop:

Real Nature sheet masks in White Tea and Calendula – I’ve never seen these masks at the FaceShop before. Interested to try the calendula one especially

Silky & Soft Cotton Pads – I was fascinated by these cotton pads – they are like little maxi pads! There are even slots where your fingers go.

It was remarkable to meet up with all these bloggers! In flesh and blood! If you think they’re amazing people online, that’s just a tiny peek into how amazing they are in real life!  I’m so pleased we had the opportunity to meet up!  And nope, no pics of us. We’re keeping the mystery.

If you’re not following my meetup pals, then you’re missing out:
♥  Jodi of A Brash Attitude
♥  Cat of MyLipAddiction
♥  Polished and Inspired
