Spring is coming up and so the weather goes from warm to cold every other day. That tends to mess up the balance of the skin. I get very dry skin from these constant weather changes. So today I’m going to tell you about a great DIY facemask that helps nourish and hydrate the skin. This mask is so mild but does wonders. Continue reading “Life saver for dry skin : DIY”

The topic for today are brushes. There are so many brands to choose from and so many kinds. That can make it pretty difficult to know where to start. Of course you don’t need brushes but they are so fun and versatile. I started buying brushes when I started experimenting with eye shadow. Just one at a time, very affordable low brand ones. But typically when starting out, not knowing what which brush does and so on, it can be good to start with buying a set. Below I’ll be reviewing the set, pros and cons.

Since Christmas is almost here it‘s time to share some of my favourite Christmas movies. A lot of them are oldies but goodies. It‘s a tradition in almost every home to watch Christmas movies in December. These will be in no particular order, it was hard enough to only pick 10! But these are movies I watch every year around Christmas at least once. Hopefully you will discover some movies you haven’t seen yet although I think these are classics.
Disney’s Christmas Carol
This one stars Jim Carrey. This is a total classic, everyone has heard the story which is written by Charles Dickens or seen a version of the movie. This is an animated one where Scrooge is voiced by Jim Carrey and it’s my favourite version. The Muppets Christmas Carol and Mickey’s Christmas Carol are very good as well but I think this is the best one. Continue reading “The 10 must watch Christmas movies”

Today I want to tell you about some skin hacks I’ve picked up over the years. I find it incredibly hard to keep my skin hydrated and good looking during frost and wind. As soon as it starts snowing my skin rebels and becomes unmanageable. It can be so tricky getting it back to a hydrated manageable state. I thought this was the perfect time to share some of them with you! Now these are all things I do or carry around pretty much every day, and for me at least they work every time. I have dry skin in the winter so they might not apply to everyone. These are things that prevent and can fix skin problems. Especially during those desperate times of harsh weather and “ruined” skin.

Summer is coming to an end and autumn is setting in and so I think it’s a perfect time to ponder on upcoming trends. Personally I love autumn and all the beautiful colours that come with it. It is one of my favourite seasons so it’s time to bring out the blankets, fairy lights and scented candles. (more on that in another post soon)
One of the things I notice the most is that the ultra-matte look seems to be and going on a hiatus. Shimmer, shine and glow seem to be coming back and coming back strong for the winter. So say goodbye to the matte lipsticks and matte contour and welcome back highlighters, baked blushes and shiny lips. These are predicted to be THE hottest trends for this fall and I’m excited!
Berry Lips
Darker shades in all kinds of delicious berry tones come knocking as the autumn comes rolling in. From subtle raspberry tones to statement dark cherry, everything goes. But for this fall velvet shine is all the rage. What describes the look best is 90’s without the lip liner. So pigmented glosses and glossy lipsticks and have some fun with it. Personally I love the lip pencils from Maybelline and the darker shades in Rouge in Love by Lancôme. They will be my go to lipsticks this fall.

I know I haven’t written anything in a while and the reason for it is simply that I really needed a break and haven‘t felt inspired at all. I’ve had some kind of inspiration block for weeks now. I have started many blog posts and all kinds of DIY projects but somehow I’m never able to finish. But now I feel the inspiration coming back and I hope to be posting a lot more frequently and publishing the posts I’ve started on.
Today I want to talk about a new product, The Mary Lou-manizer from The Balm. It has taken the country by storm. At first I thought this was one of those super hyped products that couldn’t hold up when it came down to it. Then I decided to just go for it and try it out. I’ve been testing it now for about 3 weeks and I have come to realize that this product is not hyped up, it’s just really good. All the products from The Balm come in a 50’s styled packaging with a sassy name which is completely unique. And that goes for the Mary Lou-manizer as well. It comes in a really cute silver compact with supposedly Mary Lou on the cover.
Hello everyone!
Today I want to talk about face washing. So you walk into your house at 3 in the morning after a long day at work followedby girls’ night out. What do you most feel like doing? Crawling into bed that you’ve been dreaming of all night, this very second! A lot of the time it’s a bother to have to start with washing of the makeup when all you want is the divine bed and comfy pillows. So I’m going to tell you why it’s totally worth it to clean your face first.
Washing your face is an important part of keeping the skin healthy and beautiful. Obviously the main purpose of cleaning our face before bed is getting of all that dirt, sweat, bacteria, dead skin and make up residue. And I don’t think many of us realise just how dirty our faces get from being out and about all day. Continue reading “One of the most important beauty secrets!”
