If you know me, you know i love anything handmade.
I am very picky on the reviews i do for this blog but i am a huge supporter of small business/local business etc. So when Miss Vilay approached me to try the handmade earrings she makes, i simply had to say YES!

Miss Vilay aka That Crafty Girl runs an etsy shop out of her home and she makes the cutest and original crochet earrings!

If you are like me, chances are you probably have a lot of little sample packets from different cosmetic/skincare brands. Some of them are probably GWP [gift with purchase] or perhaps from a gift from another beauty blogger?
Whatever the case, do you use them?

Sometimes i take them away with me when i go on a roadtrip but more often than now, i only get one use out of them.
Its rather wasteful since there are usually a few uses in each packet but i find it difficult to store them for more than one use as they inadvertly leak or perhaps get dry due to exposure etc
