HUDA BEAUTY Textured Shadow Palette - Rose Gold Edition

Hello beautiful!

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I received the Huda Beauty Textured Shadow Palette Rose Gold Edition as a Christmas gift from my sister.  She and her hubby Anders made a stop in Dubai on their way home from their honeymoon in the Seychelles. Lucky for me it was still available there!

What can I say, I love this palette! Huda did a really good job with it. I love the packaging with the eyes, the palette itself has a see through cover which I really like. The colors are sooo stunning and they blend beautifully. At first, by just swatching the shadows on my hand, I was a bit skeptical because the matte shadows felt quite dry. But using them with a brush on my eyes, they were really great. The palette contains 18 shadows in different finishes, mattes, satin and metallic. 

The palette is quite pricey and retails for ￡65 (apx. SEK 780). At this moment it's sold out on Hudas website and also Cultbeauty. You can join a waiting list on both sites and you'll be notified when the palette is restocked.

New in - KICKS Mineral Glow Powder

Hello dolls,

KICKS har nyligen tagit fram två nya highlighters som nu finns i butik, har inte sett dem online än men de borde dyka upp när som. 

Mineral Glow Powder är ett highlighterlöspuder som kommer i två snygga nyanser, Starlight och Glam Bronze. 

Starlight är den ljusare av dem och är champagnefärgad. Passar bra för er med ljus till medium hudton. Bronze Glam är som namnet avslöjar mer guldbronsig i tonen. Som highlighter passar denna nog bäst för er med medium till mörk hudton. Till ljus hudton kan den vara snygg som en topper ovanför en vanlig bronser till sommaren.

Product review - Peter Thomas Roth - LipsToDieFor

Pris ca SEK 190

Hello lovies,

Do you see that little pretty pink jar above?! Let me tell you that it's the most precious little thing I have in my night time rutine, and probably always will. 

I've always had very dry and chopped lips, specially when the climate is changing. I tried so many lip balms and scrubs that promise nice smooth lips, but couldn't deliver. They became nice for just that moment and as soon as the product was gone, so was the smooth lips. 

But this little thing, the Peter Thomas Roth - LipsToDieFor - Pink Bombshell Lip Balm is truly a life savior, well at least a lip savior. My sister-in-law recommended this to me, so I bought this quite some time ago, but I hadn't tried it for a longer time until last week. The second day of using it, and I only use it in the morning and before going to bed, I immediately noticed a difference. If you want something that really works, you need to try LipsToDieFor! 

It applies smoothly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. Smells wonderful, can't really pin point what thou. 
For me it's, as I said, it's enough to only use in the morning and in the evening which is a really big plus for me. If I would have to have it with me and always reapply I would've probably already have miss placed it my now.

If you live in Jönköping, you can get this pretty little jar from the girls at Salongen on Smedjegatan.

This is what the Peter Thomas Roth website says about the Pink Bombshell Lip Balm:

"Protect and maintain soft, supple, sexy and kissable lips 

with this invigorating, daily lip conditioner."

AW 2015 Nail Polish

Hello lovies,

Sitter hemma och tittar ut genom fönstret. Det jag har framför mig ser ut som en sagolik tavla. Bokskogen utanför har fått, som det ser ut, perfekta - färgsprakande droppar av nyanser av gult och rött. Tröttnar aldrig på den fantastiska skiftningen som sker denna årstid. Nu kan man verkligen säga att hösten är här! 

Till hösten/vintern börjar även nyanserna på makeup och nagellack skifta och gå mer åt det murriga hållet, helt i min smak! 

Nedan hittar ni ånga av mina absoluta favoriter för tillfället.

KICKS Nail Laquer - Cognac, Forest, Cabaret, ca SEK 69 

Dior Vernis - Cosmopolite, ca SEK 265

Chanel Le Vernis - Vibrato, ca SEK 265

New Stuff - MAC Electric Cool

Hej beauties, 

Inte allt för länge sedan släppte MAC en kollektion med 16 högpigmenterade, skimmriga skuggor i flera roliga färger - Electric Cool. 

Dessa skuggor har en spännande konsistens. De är inte krämiga men inte heller pudriga. När man känner lite på skuggan så känns den mjuk och lite "studsig". Lite som Chanels Illusion d'Ombres och Diors Fusion Mono. Vid applicering är de mer krämiga men blir mer "torra" efteråt. Intensiteten på skuggorna varierar lite från färg men tycker de blir himla läckra ändå! 

Senast jag besökte MAC-disken fick jag med mig Dynamo (måste nog vara favoriten), Black Sands, Superwatt, Photosphere och Ellectric Illumination som ner ser på bilderna nedan.

Skuggorna kostar ca SEK 195

YSL Volupte Tint-in-Oil

Hello ladies, 

Recently YSL came out with a new lip product, Volupte Tint-in-Oil. I hadn't heard about it until I say it in the shops, and you guessed right - I had to try it! 

Everything about it excited me, the packaging, the formula and the color. So I thought I'd do a post about it and spread the word :)

-A revolutinary lip color with a lip tint suspended in a deep conditioning oil-

As the name revels this product is a lip tint in an oil infused formula. Four essential oils makes this product very nourishing for the lips, it's definitely non-sticky and feels very lightweight, whilst giving your lips a luminous shine and color. 

This product is like nothing I've ever tried before. the formula is so smooth and just glides on the lips. the color builds up after a few minutes. when the oil sets in your lips the color is still there, it doesn't wear off. It's available in 8 beautiful shades and the price is apx. $32 (ca. 270 SEK)

Have a nice day! 

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!
