Life saver for dry skin : DIY

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

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 10 must watch Christmas movies

Hello everyone

(Á Íslensku neðar)

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
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”

Must know winter beauty hacks

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

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. Continue reading “Must know winter beauty hacks”

Favourite summer products 2015 pt 2

Hello everyone!

(Á Íslensku neðar)

Here is part two of my favourite summer products..!

Skin Perfection anti-tiredness day cream by L’Oréal.IMG_1605+

I did a whole post dedicated to this product. It does everything that it promises while hydrating the skin all day. I don’t know if there it has any SPF in it, it doesn’t say on the product. I was working a lot this summer and it made such a difference in my appearance. This is I really good alternative to foundation and is a total must if you have pale skin.

Favourite summer products 2015 pt 1

Hello everyone!

Summer is coming to an end and so the time has come to talk about my favourite products over the last months. These are products that I feel defined my summer. I might do a more detailed review about some of these items later on. Please let me know if you see a product you’d like to know more about. Some of these items are new while others are ones I have repurchased a few times. Most of these items have a really good staying power which I find so important. Since I have so many products to talk about I will be cutting this post into two parts. I did the same with the autumn trends just so someone other than me can actually get through it. Now I’ll get to it!

False Lash Effect Fusion, volume and length by Max Factor.
This mascara is so great and for a good part of the summer was my go to mascara. I don’t feel that it gives great length but it gives amazing volume. It combs each lash individually and it stays put all day every day. This is my third tube(almost empty) and I will be buying it again.

ColorElixir, Color Sensation – in the colour Alluring Coral (400) by Maybelline.
This is summer in a jar. This shade is a bright orange with a pink undertone.(the photos do not do it justice) The colour is so bright that sometimes I think it might glow in the dark. It has a faint pleasant smell to it. It’s very pigmented and shiny. The shine wears off eventually but the stain remains for a long time. It doesn’t crease which I like a lot. It’s just so fabulous.
