The brushes you need?

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

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.

Color Tattoo by Maybelline

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

To go deeper into the fall trend about metallic eye shadows I want to talk about yet another Maybelline product (no I’m not sponsored). The Color Tattoo 24HR eyeshadows. These come in a variation of shades, matte, metallic or shiny. I’m going to show you my favourite three colours and tell you a bit about them. They are all beautiful on their own but they are also a great base for eye shadow instead of a primer since they are creamy and grab well to the powder shadows.

Trends for the upcoming autumn 2015 pt 2

Hello everyone

(Á Íslensku neðar)

Today I will be talking about some more autumn trends, as this is part two. What I really like is that bright skin is going to be everywhere. Highlighting and bringing attention to the cheekbones and beautiful healthy skin. Oh yes I am a big fan! Well here is part 2 enjoy!

Graphic and fishtail eyeliner.

What we will be seeing alot is that the cat eyeliner is slowly becoming less populare. This coming season is perfect to try out the fishtail style. If you are very brave you can go for graphic eyeliner which has been spotted a lot on the fall runway shows. Personally I think the fishtail look is pretty with a split wing that it gives you the look of fuller and longer lashes.  It’s relatively easy to master and as always, practise makes perfect.

Trends for the upcoming autumn 2015 Pt 1

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

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.

The new craze.. Mary Lou-Manizer, review

Hello everyone

(Á íslensku neðar)

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.
