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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most important beauty secrets!

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. nivea wash

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!”
