Eye of the day - Perfect for Fall

Hello dolls,

Black and red is a combo that, in my opinion, always works. Clothes, decor and of course make up! Personally I can't get enough of the reddish and orange colors this season. I need to have one of the two in one way or the other on my eyes everyday. Today I created this Perfect for Fall evening look for you guys and I hope you like it!

I don't even know how long it's been now, 2-3 months that I've been keeping away from doing my brows and allowing the hairs to grow back, but I still have a few spares areas that I'm hoping will grow out. Going to keep the hope up for a little bit longer a few days before Christmas at the latest, then there has to a change some how.

Makeup Look - Gold & Purple

Hello dolls, 

The inspiration for this look actually came from a pair of earings I was wearing the other day and all the beautiful Makeup Geek shadows that I wanted to play around with. The deep red lip color has now become a combo that I can't get enought off.

L'oréal - Pure Reds Exclusive Collection



Hello dolls, 

The L'oréal Pure Reds Exclusive Collection is finally in stores!
Here in Sweden there are 3 shades of lipstick and nail varnish available. In the UK they have 4 other shades, but as a total I've seen a picture of 8 different shades. We only have a small part of the collection, but I'm happy we at least got that!

The 3 custom made shades that we have are made by Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez and Doetzen Kroes. The lipsticks that obviously are different red shades all have a matt finish, but the formula feels really soft and hydrating on the lips, thanks to jojoba oils.



After looking, trying and testing I picked out both the lipstick and nail varnish by Blake. The lipstick has an rich deep red shade and the varnish is a dark plum shade. I also picked out the lipstick by Doetzen which is more of an orangey red color. I felt these 2 were most different from each other.


I'm impressed with this collection. Not only the quality and the nice pigmentation but L'oréal also did a really good job with the sleek modern black packaging.

Next time you're out shopping take a look at this collection!

October Beauty Favorites 2014

Hello ladies,

I haven't done a Beauty Favorites post in a while so this post might be quite long. I've collected quite a few product the past 1-2 months that I've just been obsessing about. Obviously I cant show all cause that would just make this post endless, but I included quite a few.  Let's get to it!


I personally love beautiful packaging so I had to post this pic 



LORAC PRO 2 PALETTE 
I love this palette just at much as the first one! Amazing quality, nice variation of colors and finishes. Comes in a sleek travel friendly packaging. Top row are matte shadows and bottom row shimmer finish, 16 shadows in total. 

DIOR 5 COULEURS EYESHADOW PALETTE (ca SEK 610)
in 876 Trafalgar. Limited edition shadow palette that was included in the Autumn 2014 collection. As you can expect from Dior the shadows have excellent quality. The 5 colors are shimmery but they blend really well and are very buttery to apply. The cranberry/reddish color is what made me need it in my life! 

CHANEL OMBRE ESSENTIELLE EYESHADOW
in 104 Palpitation. Single eyeshadow from the Autumn 2014 collection. Beautiful all around shadow, looks great by it self and pares nice with other colors.  

MAYBELLINE MASTER KAJAL
in Onyx Rush. Waterproof eyeliner that stays put. Love the cone shape, found it really easy to use. 

SMASHBOX ALWAYS SHARP WATERPROOF KÔHL LINER (SEK 185)
in Bare. Love the idea of not needing to sharpen the liner before each use. The twist up cap sharpens the tip every time you open it. Beautiful nude shade that I prefer over a white liner in the waterline. 


CLARINS INSTANT LIGHT (SEK 295)
Radiance Boosting Complexion Base in 01 Rose.
A multi-task-product I'd say. You can use it as a primer that will smooth the skin and also give you a healthy glow. You can mix it with your foundation, that's what I usually do, to get that little extra glow or you can use it on top of your foundation as a highlight. Comes in three shades. 

BOBBI BROWN HIGH LIGHT POWDER (ca SEK 450)
Limited Edition Highlighting powder.
Ooh Myy Goosh!! Can't even describe how beautiful this product is! And hello did you se the packaging?! Just amazing. 

TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY BRONZER
in Park Ave Princess. Not really matte but not shimmery. The bronzer is very buttery and gives a beautiful healthy glow.

CLINIQUE CHEEKPOP/BLUSH POP
in 04 Plum Pop. When you have a blush with such beautiful pattern I understand why Clinique designed a clear packaging. 


SMASHBOX FULL EXPOSURE (SEK 380 for full size)
Is a little mini travel version of the beautiful Smashbox Full Exposure palette. When it came out I thought (very weird tho) that I had enough palettes at that time so I stayed away. (we all know so many more palettes been added since haha) But as I was standing in line to pay my things at Sephora in Toronto I saw this little guy, the mini version and so I grabbed it. very convenient to take with you when traveling or to have in your purse for touch up or changing a daytime look to an evening look. 

MAKE UP FOR EVER ARTIST SHADOW
Not to long ago Make Up For Ever came out out with 210 (if I'm not mistaken) new eyeshadows in different finishes. I picked out these three and I'm soo in love with the colors and quality.  

KICKS LIP LINER (SEK 79)
in Blueberry Lips. Really good quality lip liner to a very affordable price, comes in 4 shades. I have them all and but chose to show this one cause it's a pretty dark berry color that I love wearing this time of the year. 

MAYBELLINE COLOR DRAMA (SEK 89)
in Berry Much. Lip crayon with high pigments and good staying power. I've heard that people compare them to the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. These ones are of course not as pricey as the Nars ones. Easy to apply since it's a pencil. You should try them! Comes in 6 different shades.

Makeup Look - A hint of Midnight

Hello dolls,


Here's a smoked out liner look for you guys. Love Love my reddish browns and burnt oranges in the fall time. To make the look a little bit more fun I used a blue eyeliner in the water line instead of black that I usually go for. Pared it with a "Kylie Jenner" - lip which I'm also obsessing about lately. As always you'll find the product info below the pictures and if you have any questions just let me know in the comments!
