Holiday Makeup Look!

Christmas is closing in fast and I thought I'd make you a look that I think is suitable for a special holiday event! 
After taking the first picture I thought I'd try and make the look a bit more intense for those, like me, who like a strong eye look. Which of the two do you like the best?

Max Factor CC Colour Correcting Cream - mini review

Hello ladies!

Jag älskar Max Factor CC Correcting Cream! Ett impulsköp som jag är riktigt nöjd med. 

Har använt den varje dag i ca 2 veckor nu och den ger en bra täckning, håller i upp till 10h (har inte testat längre) och har en riktigt snygg finish. Dessutom är den även återfuktande och har andra bra egenskaper för att smidiggöra huden. Jag använder fingrarna när jag lägger på denna foundation för ett snabbt och snyggt resultat. Perfekt vardagsfoundation som jag varmt kan rekommendera om du vill ha en bra och lätt täckning de dagar då tiden inte räcker till.  

I love the CC Correcting Cream by Max Factor! An impulse purchase that I'm really happy with.

I have used it everyday for about 2 weeks now, it gives me the coverage I want, last's up to 10h (have not tested longer) and has a really nice finish. The cream is also moisturizing and has other good ingredients to smooth the skin. 

When applying this foundation I use my fingers for a quick and beautiful result. It's a perfect everyday foundation that I highly recommend if you want a nice and light weight coverage on days you might be in a hurry.

The box itself is really pretty and it's gonna look good as decoration! Thank you Dagmar & Glossybox

Lipstick's by Milani

Hello ladies!

Den senaste tiden har jag fastnat för läppstift! Så här till hösten/vintern tycker jag det är superläckert med mörka läppar, speciellt på andra. Tyvärr är jag ibland lite för feg för att själv i att gå ut med det. Har köpt på mig ett gäng läppstift på senaste, så jag försöker att nån gång då och då att slänga på nån mörk färg och gå ut för att vänja mig. 

Här är fyra helt fantastiska färger som jag fått i från USA, från märket Milani som tyvärr inte säljs i Sverige. 

Recently I've had a thing for lipsticks! For fall/winter, I think it's so pretty with dark lips, especially on others. Unfortunately, I'm still not really comfortable with wearing it. But I've bought a bunch of lipstick lately, so I just have to try to feel confident enough to put on a dark like and go out.

Here are four amazing colors that I just received from the U.S., and they are from Milani, unfortunately they're not sold in Sweden.

Eye of the day - Print

A little change can do quite a lot! So today I started doing my eye makeup and when it was time to line the waterline I couldn't decide what colour to use so I tried two different liners. One black and one blueish colour. I ended up using the blueish colour because it made the colour of my eye stand out more. Which of the two do you like the best?
