Makeup Look - Mu Mu Bloom

Hello dolls, 

For todays look I used the MAC x Chris Chung Edition eyeshadow in Mu Mu Bloom. Not only are the products amazing, as anything MAC, but also the packaging is so so cute!  

I usually never do a look without a smudged lower lash line, cause that's what I feel comfortable with, but today I kept it clean. Looking at the pictures I wish I wound have put om som nice wispy false lashes. And the only excuse I have for not putting them on is that I was to lazy to do it.

Makeup Look - IsaDora Savannah

Hello dolls, 

For todays look I used the IsaDora Eyeshadow Quartet in Savannah Sunset. It's a very simple, yet romantic look with lots of lashes. Any lip color would work for this look. The pink lips look cute for this look, but now afterwards I think I would have preferred a more beige nude color. 

//Jag har använt IsaDoras Eyeshadow Quartet Savannah Sunset för att göra dagens look. Enkel men ändå romantisk med mycket fransar. Vilken färg som helst på läpparna skulle passa. Denna rosa combo är väldigt söt till. Nu i efterhand hade nog jag personligen använt ett mer beigefärgat läppstift.

First impression and mini review

Hello lovies,

Today I finally got the chance to try out the very-talked-about EX1 Cosmetics Foundation. I've heard so much about it and wanted to try for myself. 

I thought I'd do a kind of first impression while trying it for the first time to let you know what I think about it. 

Start

The container is a simple yet cute, made of plastic with copper details. I used a pump and a half for the whole face. 

I decided to use a primer on half of my face to see if it makes a difference. I used the Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer. To see how the  EX1 foundation applies I used a Beauty Blender on the half of my face where I used the primer and I used a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush on the other half. Oh and I'm using the foundations in the shade F200.

I found that the foundation applied really smoothly with both tools. I felt like the side where I used the brush got a little bit more coverage with one layer, which surprised me. (It was extremely hot today so I didn't feel like putting on another layer) 

The second thing I noticed was that on the half without primer the EX1 foundation looked more dewy then on the primed side (the primer I used was not a mattifying one).

I didn't feel like the foundation on either side made my pores appear larger or texture showing, which was really nice. 

Without primer

With primer

After five hours

After applying my makeup I rushed to work (riding my bike in the nice summer weather)

I worked for about four hours and went home again. 

I looked at my foundation again to see if I could notice any change. I saw nothing! The foundation was still looking as good as it first did after applying it and still felt hydrating. I was impressed that the EX1 foundation could still look so good after a few hours and in the heat. 

After eight ours

I looked at the makeup again after about 8-8,5 hours and it still looked really good. I could see a little change on the tip of my nose and on my chin. But honestly I think that was just from me rubbing it off. Still super impressed of EX1. 

My final thoughts

This foundation looks absolutely beautiful on the skin and is very long wearing. It blended in to the skin very nice and did not feel heavy at all.

I love that the tones of the foundations go more yellow/olive then most foundations out there. 

The price of this beauty is only SEK 145 which is insane for the quality and I got it at lookfantastic.com

I can highly recommend EX1 foundation for those of you that have the same skin type like me - normal to dry. I don't know how it will look on combination oily skin but I've heard people with that skin type raving about EX1 as well. 

If you're looking for a new foundation this is a really good one. 

Makeup Look - Anastasia Beverly Hills - Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette

Hello lovies, 

For todays look I used the B E A U T I F U L Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. It's been out for a hot minute and is all over Instagram. I really understand the hype! 

It comes in a magnetic packaging, the outside is pink and has a velvety-like feel to it and it has a big mirror on the inside. The palette contains 14 beautiful warm eyeshadows, and also comes with a dual-ended brush. And the best part - this palette is permanent!

Makeup Look - Manny MUA x Makeup Geek Palette Look 1

Hello beauties,

Today I used the fabulous Manny MUA x Makeupgeek Cosmetics palette. Let me just say that it's amazing! The color combination is great, you can du everyday looks just as well as more dramatic looks. My favorite colors are Sora, Mars and Insomnia.

/Hej! Idag har jag använt den fantastiska MannyMUA x Makeupgeek Cosmetics paletten som jag fick hem för ett bra tag sedan. Kombinationen av färgerna i paletten är superb. Lika lätt att göra enkla vardagslooker som en riktigt dramatisk kvällslook. Mina favoritfärger är Sora, Mars och Insomnia.

For the first look up on the blog using this palette I did a very soft everyday look. Something that I think everyone could be comfortable with.

/Some en första look bestämde jag mig för att göra en liten enklare look med färger som jag tror att alla skulle känna sig bekväma med.

Makeup Look - Purple mania

Hello beauties,

I say this a lot, but time is really flying by. It's already Friday and it feels like the just started. We're in the middle of November and the first snow just came here in Sweden. 2016 is around the corner and for me it's going to start of with big excitement and a big change. 2016 is welcome and hopefully it's going to be an even better year than 2015 for everyone.

Today's look is a soft Purple smoky eye, pared with natural brows and soft lips, so it's not to extreme. Hopefully it'll be some inspiration for you if you have any fun plans this weekend.

Makeup Look - Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette

Ciao bella! 

Isn't this palette just beautiful?! Bright, happy colors to make beautiful makeup looks with. Just as anything else by Anastasia Beverly Hills, this eyeshadow palette holds just as high quality, and it's worth every penny.

Even before the palette arrived at home, I was drawn to that bright yellow shade "Phresh"! So that's what I used on the makeup look below. Hopefully there will be more post with looks using this palette.

This look was done last week. Looking at the photos now, I think I would have used a lipstick color that was a bit more pale if I'd do a similar look again. 

Kisses and hugs!
