Back in the game!

Hello lovies, 

It's been too long since I've been on my blog and I've missed it so much! 

So a lot has happened since last time and that's part of why I've been absent. When I last posted I was working nonstop, preparing and gift shopping for Christmas as well as I was counting down the days to my wedding! All this at once was quite a lot to take on and that's why its been silent here. 

Me and my hubby got married on January 5th 2016! We had our family and friends and it was just such an amazing day. We started planning the wedding in the beginning of November (crazy I know!!) but I'm so pleased with how it turned out and we were very happy with it all. 

A few days after the wedding we left for our honeymoon, we did a Caribbean cruise for 7 days and spent 3 days in Miami and Fort Lauderdale (makeup haul will be up!). It was PERFECT! During the cruise we stopped on 3 islands: Bahamas, St Thomas and St Marteen all three paradise islands. 

Since me and hubby didn't live together before the wedding you can imagine that we had a lot of things to pack up, movie and organize the time after we got back from the honeymoon. But it's been heaps of fun. 

Well, that's what I've been up to (the very short version) and that's why I've been gone.

Now that things are about to slow down, I wanted to get back to doing what I love! I wanted to wait until my wedding photos were done so I could share a few pictures together with the first post, but they aren't done yet and I didn't want to wait anymore to start writing and doing makeup looks for you guys. Hopefully I'll be able to share the professional photos with you later on. 

Until then here are a few cell phone pictures from the wedding and honeymoon!

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."

Makeup Look - Purple mania

Hello beauties,

I say this a lot, but time is really flying by. It's already Friday and it feels like the just started. We're in the middle of November and the first snow just came here in Sweden. 2016 is around the corner and for me it's going to start of with big excitement and a big change. 2016 is welcome and hopefully it's going to be an even better year than 2015 for everyone.

Today's look is a soft Purple smoky eye, pared with natural brows and soft lips, so it's not to extreme. Hopefully it'll be some inspiration for you if you have any fun plans this weekend.
