Glossybox November 2014

Hello dolls, 

Novembers Glossybox har trillat ner i brevlådan och här nedan kan ni se innehållet. Alla prenumeranter får inte alltid exakt likadana produkter. När man registrerar sig, vilket du kan göra här får man fylla i en liten "enkät" för att boxen ska passa just dina preferenser lite mer.  

Topz Avsminkningsservetter - Funkar riktigt bra de dagar då man har lite extra bråttom att få av sig sminket. Känns sköna, inte riviga som vissa andra servetter kan göra. 

L'occitane Shea butter Hand Cream - Kräm som jag använt tidigare och blev glad att få se igen. Perfekt så här års då mina händer blir väldigt torra. 

Sumita Beauty Eye Shadow Pencil - Förvånad över hur bra denna pennan faktiskt var. Lätt att tona ut, sitter på plats hela dagen. Vacker skimrande champagnebrun nyans.

Make Up Stoe Gloss Lips - In the shade Haze. Inte jätteförtjust i den här varianten av gloss. Den känns kladdig på läpparna men det var en häftig färg. 

Model Co More Brow, Eyebrow Thickening Gel - Enda produkt jag inte testat än då jag för tillfället har ett par andra ögonbrynsgeler som jag testar. Men ska bli kul att se hur denna funkar nu när jag ändå har en fight med brynen.  

Eye of the day - Smokey Sunrise Part I

Hello dolls,

I had this one look in mind which is seen on the pics below, did it and loved it. Then the other day I wanted to have the same look but much more dramatic, that look will be up in a couple of days. Just by changing something small or just intensifying a color can take a look to another dimension so stay tuned for that! 

Can you see how my brows are looking so much fuller now? Still have a few spares areas that I wish would grow a little more!

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.

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!

// Wow! This months Glossybox really delivered! Everything was exciting; the packaging, the box and the content! The box is definitely going to be a part of my interior and the content is going straight in to my vanity.

L'oréal SkinPerfection Unifying Day Moisturiser (full size) This is what I'm most excited for, and the reason for that is that I actually thought of buying it, but just didn't get around to do it. I already have the Serum from this range SkinPerfection Advanced Correcting Serum that I love, it feels really good on the skin. I also have the SkinPerfection Magic Touch Instant Blur. I bought the last one in Spain and I'm not really sure if it's sold here in Sweden because they don't show it on the info paper that came in the box.  

Make Up Store High Tech Lighter in the shade Stardust. I own 3 of these High Tech Lighters from before so this will be a nice add to my collection. Beautiful pearly shade.

So Susan Universal Blush - Never heard of this brand before. Supposed to adapt to your skincolor, giving you a healthy flushed look 

Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Moisture Kick Beauty Balm A BB cream for you hair to help protect, moisture and give shine to your hair

Me Me Me Cosmetics Cheek and Lip Tint in the shade Coral Blossom. 

Makeup Look - Fall look

Hello dolls,

Hope you're all doing fine! It's been too long since I posted. Here I've done a redish brown look that I love wearing this time of the year.

When I was in Toronto a while back I had already set my eyes on their new Artist Shadows before I got there. I wasn't the only one haha. All the shades that I had in mind were sold out, except one. But at the end I'm happy with the three shades I got.

Tried & Tested - Max Factor Luminizers

Hi dolls, 

Not to long ago Max Factor came out with a new foundation and concealer, Skin Luminizer Foundation & Eye Luminizer Brightener. The Luminizer part really caught my eye and my curiosity!

I bought it and I must say I love it for an everyday use. Below you can read my thought about these products. 

Both the Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation & Eye Luminizer Brightener are packaged in a neat plastic bottle and comes with a pump. Personally I think both these things are smart; the pump makes it much more hygienic and the clear bottle will let you know how much you have left. Through the clear bottle you'll see a white swirl which is the luminizer but when dispensed it's already mixed with the foundation

Foundation:

I always use a primer before putting on foundation so that's the only way I've tried this one as well. I apply it with a Flat Top Kabuki Brush, and it gives me a medium coverage but is buildable. It's a very lightweight formula and it feels really good on my skin, doesn't even feel like I have anything on. One pump is enough. For me the foundation stays put and looks nice, even after a long day at work. 

This foundation gives a luminous and healthy glowing skin, which I'm a big fan off. I don't mind that it doesn't have SPF, but if you live in a very sunny place and still want to try this foundation out, you can always use a sun screen for your face underneath. In Sweden the Skin Luminizer Foundation comes in 5 shades and the price is about SEK 160   

Concealer:

It says brightener on the packaging and that sure is what it does! This product is so beautiful for highlighting the face. The formula is very lightweight and it blends beautiful with the Skin Luminizer foundation but also with other foundations. I use about half a pump to highlight the parts of my face that I want to be highlighted and that's more than enough to cover that. It doesn't feel cakey and doesn't crease under the eye.

But, yes and here's a little but, I have quite dark circles under my eyes, and this doesn't cover that by it self. To get the coverage that I want I use a corrector color underneath. I don't see this as a problem tho because it's so good in other ways. In Sweden the Eye Luminizer Brightener comes in 3 shades and the price is about SEK 115

If you like a luminous, glowy and a nice coverage foundation I would really recommend you to try both of these products. 

Makeup Look - Lorac Pro 2

Hello ladies, 

If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that I got my hands on the Lorac Pro 2 Palette! I've looked for it since it launched but just couldn't find a shop that would ship internationally. Ah well, better late then never I guess :) 

Below you'll find pictures and information about the first look I did using the palette. Enjoy dolls and stay tuned for more looks using the Lorac Pro 2

REVLON till Sverige

Hello ladies, 

Skönhetsvarumärket Revlon, är ett stort "drugstore"-märke som finns i flera olika länder runt om i världen. Jag läste precis att det äntligen kommer till Sverige vilket är goda nyheter! Ni kanske redan visste detta men det var nytt för mig. Jag brukar alltid hitta riktigt bra och prisvärda produkter från Revlon när jag är utomlands så jag är verkligen excited. Dock kommer inte Revlon att säljas i fysiska butiker, men det går lika bra att handla på nätet tycker jag. 

Revlon kommer att säljas exklusivt på eleven från och med mitten av oktober
