Eye of the Day - Apolosophy

Apolosophy is a quite new makeup line that is sold in some pharmacies around Sweden. I've looked at the products a few times, but kept myself from buying since I don't really "need" more makeup. But the other day I fell for the temptation so I went a head and bought one of their eyeshadow palletes.  The whole makeup line seems really nice, and after playing around with this palette I might go back to try out more things =)

Makeup Look - Fashionista

Hello dolls, 

For today's look I wanted to use bold colors but still keep it very wearable, so that more people would feel comfortable recreating it. I did a deep green winged liner and pared it with a bright magenta pink lip color. As I usually say, you can of course switch the colors to your preference. I waring my favorite Flutter Lashes for this look. 

Have a blessed Sunday <3

Nya ting coming your way

Hello lovies,

Jag tycker det är så roligt när drugstore-märken hänger med i tiden och lanserar produkter i samma takt som de lite "finare" märkena. När de dessutom kommer till den svenska marknaden relativt rätt i tid är det ännu bättre! Contourkits, highlighters, liquid lipstick är bara några av de få produkter som bland annat Maybelline och L'oréal har fått in på den svenska marknaden nu!

De läpprodukter som jag har med i dagens inlägg är på ingång eller har precis lanserats. Jag köpte dessa när jag var utomlands för någon månad sedan.

L'orèal Virgin, Maybelline Nude Flush och Nude Thrill

Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid är som titeln säger, matta flytande läppstift. De appliceras med en läppglansapplikator som sedan torkar, ger en matt finish utan att torka ut läpparna. I USA släptes det 10 nyanser, hoppas att alla kommer till hit! 

Läppstiftets konsistens gör att det är väldigt mjukt och lätt att applicera. Det man ska tänka på är att inte lägga för tjockt lager, då kommer inte läppstiftet att torka ordentligt för en snygg matt finish.

Sedan har vi även en ny matt läpprodukt ifrån L'oréal - Matte FX Infallible Lipsticks. Denna produkt är väldigt olik någon annan läpprodukt jag någonsin testat. Väldigt svårt att beskriva konsistensen, lite som en mouse, fast ändå inte. Ni får helt enkelt testa! Appliceras lätt med den konformade skumsvampen. Applicera med ett lätt tryck för mindre färg, tryck lite hårdare och ta något lager extra för mer intensitet. 

Önskar er alla en underbar midsommar!

Makeup Look - White

Hello dolls,

Today's look is very fresh and easy. Natural face, no color on the lid but the twist is the white liner. Because who says that a wing has to be black, right?! Just for fun I added a small little crystal to the look. This look can of course be worn with any lip color. I took my favorite bright pink lip! What's your favorite lip color for the summer?

Makeup Look - Rosé

Hello ladies,

Todays look is a really simple one. I used to do looks like this all the time, when I worked more with loose pigments. Unfortunately I don't reach for my pigments as much anymore, but hopefully that will change. A look like this is very quick and easy. You don't need a pigment for this you can just as easily use a regular eyeshadow. What I did was just to put the loose pigment all over the lid, and when blending out the edges is gives the illusion of different colors. I also used a brown shadow on the outer part of the eye for a little bit of more effect. Perfect for when you're in a rush! 

Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Hello lovies, 

Imagine you go to work, do your 8 hours, drive back home a ride that usually takes 30 minutes but because of construction and traffic it takes almost 1 hour. Just as you're getting out of the car you realize you forgot you phone at work. Would you panic? Well this happened to me today and I panicked! I stood there seriously thinking if I should just drive back and get it or wait until the morning. 

I know that I'm very addicted to my phone but didn't really know how much. Haha it's kind of silly, I know, but since I got home I can't count how many times I "reached" for my phone. Ah well, I'll just have to suck it up and wait until tomorrow. What would you have done? 

Ok let's get to the real topic of the day, a new makeup look. Todays I have another colorful look for you guys! So playful and fun in my opinion. I bought a loose pigment by MAC when I was in Palma and I hadn't gotten around to use it yet. It's the star of the show today :)

I also show you two different lip color options. One really nude and one more nudish brown. 

I hope you like it!

Makeup Look - Inspired by

Hello dolls!

A few days ago I saw a picture on Instagram with a makeup look that I really fell in love with! I'm not 100 % sure who it was but I think it might have been the Swedish fashion blogger Kenza. She had brown/bronze shades on her lids and a hectic sparkly green color on the lower lash line. As I can't find the picture I can't recall what color she had on her lips. As i think it was a nude color I went with a nudish pink.

As I said, that look was fantastic! I wanted to recreate it, but tone it down a notch so it could be easier to wear for everyone. I'm probably going to wear it as intense when I do this look the next time, but I think the way I did it now turned out nice as well. 

Pictures and product list below a always. 

Wishing you all a beautiful Wednesday! 

Before starting with the makeup I prepped my skin with Sensai Silk 10 seconds Awakening Essence. What it does is that it awakens the skin and senses (just as the label says) and provides extra defence against UV rays and external stress. It's also called a "Cinderella cream". The light texture feels really good on the skin, feels fresh and sinks in to the skin quickly. 

I just read that it works great as a makeup primer. Nothing that I've heard before thou so I did use a "regular" primer this time. I'm going to try and use it as a primer next time. 

Side note: I usually write the products going face > brows > eyes > lips. But I usually start with my eye makeup first so that I don't get fall out on my foundation. It also makes wiping away mistakes much easier
