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.

The month of Christmas has arrived and I am very excited. One of the best things about advent and the few weeks leading up to Christmas is without a doubt the Christmas songs. I’m a huge fan of Michael Bublé and his Christmas album is on repeat in my house from November till February. He released a new Christmas song yesterday and i’m ecstatic. I can not put into words how happy and christmasy this song is! I wanted to share it with you because it captures what to me is the essence of the season and it’s so festive.(As he can do no wrong*swoon*)
Is there anything better than sitting at home during the cold weather and snow with a big cup of christmas tea and listening to Bublé croon while you make a batch of ginger cookies or hang up some lights? I think not.
I hope you can enjoy this with me 🙂

Halló allir!
Jólamánuðurinn er kominn ég er orðin mjög spennt. Einn af mínum uppáhalds hlutum við aðventuna eru án efa jólalögin. Ég er mjög mikill Michael Bublé aðdáandi og jóladiskurinn hans er á repeat heima hjá mér frá Nóvember og fram í Febrúar. Í gærkvöldi gaf hann út nýtt jólalag. Ég er að springa úr spenningi og ánægju, ég get ekki lýst því með orðum. Þetta lag gerði mánuðinn minn og verður hérmeð fastur hluti af jólum og aðventu á þessum bæ. Ég vil deila þessu lagi með ykkur því það nær jóla andanum fullkomlega að mínu mati (Enda er allt sem kemur frá honum æðislegt)
Er eitthvað betra en að sitja inní í vonda veðrinu og snjókomunni að drekka jólate oghlusta á Bublé á meðan maður skellir í smákökur eða reynir að hengja upp seríur? Ég held ekki
Vonandi njótið þið þess að hlusta á þetta jafn mikið og ég 🙂
Today I’d like to talk about the new mascara , Lash Sensational from Maybelline. I’ve been trying this one out for a few weeks and I really like it. The formula is thin and lightweight and very build-able The wand itself has silicone comb bristles, long on one side and they grow shorter on the other side and the brush is slightly bent. This gives the wand the ability to comb each eyelash separately, the result is amazing.
Now while the wand is exceptional it takes some getting used to. I was very clumsy when I was applying it for the first couple of times. This mascara does lengthen the lashes and separates them extremely well and I think it gives a lot of volume. When I’ve been using this product I only need 1 coat which is super quick and nice. I find that even though I’ve used the mascara for a few weeks it still has that “way too much product in the comb” thing going on. Continue reading “Lash Sensation! The new mascara from Maybelline”
Today I thought I’d rave a little bit about my new favorite product.
The new Maybelline intense velvet lip pencils. I’m very picky when it comes to lip products, one of the most important things I go for when I’m picking out a new lipstick or gloss is how long they stay on looking beautiful. So I first heard of these last autumn and got really excited to try them out. As the name gives away they have intense color and a velvet look and feel on the lips. When they finally arrived they sold out in the matter of days and were out of stock for months before the finally came back in January. Continue reading “Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencil”
I want to talk about hand and nail care! Personally I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way their hands look. Usually you won’t find me with naked nails. I always wear nail polish and it really depends on the season what colour range I go for. At the moment I’m longing for warm summer days. In the summer you can pull off wearing the whole range of colours and glitters. The thing about nail polishes is that they chip up way to quick and if you are like me it’s impossible to have cracks or half chipped nail polish. If I wear just plain old polish it lasts about 2-3 days until it cracks up, even with base and top coats.
So I started a hunt for the ultimate nail polish that lasts and doesn’t chip off. For a while I thought it would be impossible and tried brand after brand and it was always the same story. Then I discovered Gel nail polish. I went for a manicure at the local beauty parlour. They offered a free try for the Alessandro Gel Lac. So I thought to myself, why not try it? It’s amazing! The whole thing took about 30 minutes and lasted 10 days without cracking or chipping at all! Continue reading “Perfect Polish”
