Makeup Look - Classic Smoky Eye & Dark Lips

Hello ladies,

Today I did another smoky eye. A bit softer and more toned down then I usually would. I probably said it before but I think that a smoky eye can be worn anywhere anytime. For this look i did two lip options for you. One that works for daytime and one darker lip for nighttime. 
I hope you like it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Customize your own palette - How to: depot your eyeshadows

Customizing your own palette can be really easy. A lot of brands now sell empty palettes where you can put in their products, MAC, Make Up Store, Anastasia Beverly Hills and more. 

Then theres the bunch of single eyeshadows that don't have it. I used to have a drawer full of single eyeshadows that I collected over the years. As my palette collection grew bigger I found that I reached for the singles less and less, mostly out of convenience. I wanted to change that, cause I had a few favorites among the singles. So I bought an empty palette, started to depot my eyeshadows and now their being used more frequently again. 

Below I'm going to show you how to depot your shadows so you can have them all in one place. packaging come in different shapes and sizes, but the technique is almost always the same. And there are different tools to use and different ways to get the heat. I'm going to show you the way I found to be the easiest. 

Att bygga ihop sin egen palett kan vara jätteenkelt. Många märken säljer nu tomma paletter som man kan fylla upp med de skuggor man själv vill. MAC, Make Up Store, Anastasia Beverly Hills är några av dem. 

Så finns det den bunten av ögonskuggor som inte har passande paletter. Förr hade jag en hel låda med ögonskuggor som jag samlat på mig. Ju större min palettsamling blev desto mindre öppnade jag lådan med singel-ögonskuggorna, oftast på grund av smidigheten. Men jag tycker det va synd att ha så fina skuggor som inte användes tillräckligt. Jag bestämde mig för att göra något åt saken så jag köpte en tom palett och började depotta mina skuggor. 

Nedan visar jag hur jag gör för att depotta mina singel skuggor. Hylsor kommer i olika former och storlekar, men grunden är mer eller mindre den samma. Jag har depottat alla möjliga märken, MAC, Make Up Store, Chanel, Dior, IsaDora mm och inte tyckt att det varit mycket större skillnad. 

Lets get started! 





What you need:
- Ett värmeljus /candle
- En pincett /tweezer
- En kniv eller annat vasst föremål /knife or other sharp tool
- Små magneter, en till varje ögonskugga /small magnets
- En tom palett /empty palette
- Ögonskuggor /eyeshadows




How to:

1/ Oftast sitter locket till hylsan på ett sett som är lätta att lossa, så jag brukar börja med att ta bort det (dock gick inte det i detta fall med Chanelskuggan). Ta sedan ditt vassa föremål (kniv eller tunn spatel i mitt fall) och leta redan på glipan mellan den lilla kopp som ögonskuggan ligger i och själva hylsan. OBS inte själva metallkopp som ligger närmast produkten. 
/Start by finding the groove in between the shadow and the pot.  Carefully wiggle your sharp tool metal tool back and forth until the shadow "pops" out of the pot.


2/ För ögonskuggan en bit över lågan så att limmet mellan själva skuggan och hylsan lossnar. Börjar man försöka bända upp skuggan för snabbt är det lätt att skuggan går sönder. (Tips om hur man gör då kommer i ett annat inlägg)
Här får man vara försiktig så man inte bränner sig samt vara medveten och försiktig för den ånga som bildas. 
/Place the eyeshadow a bit above from the candles flame. This will help the shadow from popping out easier. If you go yo quick your shadow may break. (Will be another post about that later on) Be careful not to burn yourself and be cautious of the fumes that will appear of melting plastic. 



3/ När limmet börjar släppa är det bara att sära på delarna genom att föra in ett vasst föremål under och rucka loss - OBS! metallpannan är nu mycket varm! 
/When the glue starts to melt, poke you sharp tool between the plastic and metal pan to separate. 
Be careful - the metal pan will be very hot!

4/ Sätt på en magnet på undersidan - KLART! 
/Put a magnet on the back of the eyeshadow pan - DONE!



Extra:
6/ På vissa hylsor är det möjligt att lossa originaletiketten som sitter i botten. Ta underdelen med en pincett och håll den en bit över logan så att limmet släpper. Bara att sätta den på den nya depottade delen. 

Därefter är det bara att fylla på din palett med dina favoritskuggor! 

Good luck and have fun customizing your own palettes!

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 

Face
Pixi Flawless and Poreless Primer
Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation #3.25
L'Oréal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator - mixed a small drop in my foundation
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Effect Concealer in Light

Calvin Klein Beauty Skin Illuminator #100 - to highlight cheekbones

Brows

Eyes
MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

     - Hazelnut - in the crease


On the mobile lids I mixed a bunch of MAC eyeshadows in brown and bronze shades. I didn't get the tone just as I wanted it at first so I just mixed. You don't need to use all the shades I did at all, just use 2-3 of your favorite brown/bronze shades and that will work just as well.

Makeup Look - Palma Waters

Hello chicas,

Just a few days ago I was enjoying a couple of days in the beautiful city of Palma in Mallorca (Majorca), where I was visiting my brother and his family. It's such an amazing place. We did some shopping, sightseeing, eating good food and drinking lots of Cava! From their house you could see the ocean, which was my inspiration for this look. Sitting here, in still a very cold Sweden I really just wanna go back there. 

On the last two pictures I added a light blue winged liner just as an option, black wing would look really good too. I hope you like this look and have a great day!
