A soft angelic makeup look!

During my vacation in Macedonia this summer I had the chance to do a lot of my friends makeup. One of the looks I did was on this beautiful young woman. She wanted a very soft and angelic makeup look so I created this look for her. I used a lot of brown colors on her and I really highlighted her cheeks.

The products I used on her}

FACE: For priming and hydrating her skin I used the Smashbox Photo Water Spray Primer. After that I let her face cool down and went with the Make Up Forever mattifying step one primer just because I waned her makeup too last all day during the hot weather in Macedonia. After that I color corrected her dark circles using the NYX cosmetics concealer in pink shade. Then I put the Too Faced Born This Way foundation and I used my Real Techniques buffing brush. I wet the brush with the Smashbox water primer. After that I used the Nars concealer and highlighted her face and gave that extra dimension on her face. Before blush I baked her face using the Laura Mercier translucent loose powder. While the face was baking I went to her eyes. After I was done with her eyes I swiped her baking powder off with some of the light powder from the Kat Von D shade and light contour kit. After that I bronzed her face using the Bahamas Mama from The Balm Cosmetics. And then I went with the contour using the Kat Von D shade and light contour palette. After I was done with the contour I highlighted her face using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Sundipped. And for the finish touch on the face I used the Benefit Cosmetics blush in Coralista.

EYES: While the face was baking I was doing her eye makeup look! First of all I primed her eyelids using the MAC Paint Pot in painterly. I asked my client what kind of colors she wanted to have on her eyelids. It is very important for me as a freelancer to ask my clients what kind of colors she wants. So as a good freelance you should work from that. She wanted all soft brown. I used the Kat Von D Eye Contour Palette! For liner I used the NYC Liquid Eyeliner in black. For mascara I used for the bottom lashes the MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash and for the upper lashes I used the MaxFActor False Lah Effect.

EYEBROWS: I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer and MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set.

Earings mania!

One of my top favorites jewlery are earings. I think that they are one of the most things for that perfect outfit look!
I am that kind of girl that buys affordable earings because I think they are really nice but also a lot of people can buy them.
For an example I have these earings and most of them are from H&M, GinaTricot nad Glitter. If you live in Scandinavia you will know what kind of stores I mean.

I also stopped at the NYX section and bought some products from them. I bought the WonderStick, Highligh and Bronze cream, HD Concealer and a Jumbo Pencil stick in black. The Jumbo Pencil are one of my top favorties eye pencils of all time. They are so creamy and smooth to apply.

Last but not least, two eyeshadow palettes from Zoeva Cosmetics. One in Cocoa Blend and one in Taupe. I am so happy that I found this brand in a local store in Helsingborg. They had tons of products from this brand and also different brands. I will deff go back there.

Micheal Kors - Gold and Classy

M.A.C. ~ Retro Matte Liquid Lipsticks!

For some weeks ago I bought some of the new MAC cosmetics Retro Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the colors Dance with me which is a rich red color, Lady Be-good which is a nude color with peach undertones and at last Oh Lady which is a purple/pink color.

I really like these lipsticks and I can say they are really long lasting but also very drying. If you have really dry lips be sure to give your lips tons of hydration. I will buy more of these colors.

The Gwen Stefani eye shadow palette from Urban Decay Cosmetics

When I got the message from the beauty store KICKS that the Gwen Stefani eye shadow palette has arrived in Sweden I got so excited. I went directly too the computer and ordered it together with the Laura Mercier Translucent powder.

I have heard so much great things about this palette and the colors are so right up my alley.  The pigmentation of these colors are so well and the blend very good too. You have different colors to create different looks such as day looks and night looks.

Over all I love the Urban Decay eye shadow palettes! They are really good and they do put a lot of time to create the absolute perfect palette for every look, day and night!

My next order will be on the Naked Smokey palette from the Urban Decay!

Which is your favorite palette from Urban Decay or favorite product?

H&M Cosmetics

Some days ago I went a quick stop to my local H&M store too buy a plane shirt and I went through the makeup section just to check some new products out. I know that H&M have re-done their makeup products and I bought a eye shadow palette and one single eye shadow color from their line. So I wanted to try their lipsticks and their lip stain. I watched the Kathleen Lights review tutorial on her Youtube channel where she absolutely fell in love with their lipsticks so I wanted to give it a try.

As you can see on the top I bought only three products from this line and it was because I wanted to try the formula first and how pigmented they are. 

I really love their lipsticks! They are really creamy and moisturized lip products! I will totally buy more lip colors. And I LOVE THE PACKAGING! You can never go wrong with white, gold and black!  

As for their lip stains I have to get used to it. I don't love it but I don't hate it either.

As for the price I bought the lipsticks for 99 Swedish kronas which is 11.66 american dollars and the lipstain for 79,50 Swedish kronas which is 9.36 american dollars. 

Are they wroth the price? Yes, I absolutely think so!

Clean autumn look!

So a couple days ago I bought myself some new shoes and clothes. I have always been that girl that only wears black boots during autumn and winter time but now I thought to myself: I need a change in my life! So I went to a Swedish shoe store Skopunkten where you can find tons of different shoe styles. Every season they change their shoe collection and you will find a tons of variety. All from flat shoes to boots. The good thing about this shoes store is that they have their image where you can buy three pair of shoes and get one free or buy two pair of shoes and get one of them half the price. What a great deal! The other good thing about this store is that the shoes are really comfortable but also really cheap. Best catch ever!

So I bought these brown boots with a small thick heel that makes it more comfortable to walk with during autumn and winter time. I combined these boots with a pair of blue denim jeans, a shirt from Zara with light blue and white stripes and of course a black Zara jacket with golden details. I feel that these boots goes with everything. With grey shirt, black shirt, white shirt etc. Love it!

Kat Von D - Shade + Light Contour Palette!

So I finally  got my hands on the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour palette. I have heard so much good things about  this product. I have used my Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour palette for a while now and I thought it was time too switch it up.
The Scandinavian Sephora just brought this product to our stores and a lot of our makeup lovers bought this product directly. For the rest of the Kat Von D products which includes palettes, lipsticks, liquid lipsticks etc. will be available in February in the Scandinavian Sephora stores.

My thoughts of this product are very positive. I have only used it once but I must say I really love it. The pigmentation of this product is perfect and I love how the contour shades are blendible. I also love the highlighter of this palette. 

You get three different shades/skin color types. One for very fair skin tone, one for medium skin tone and one for dark skin tone. Of course you can blend all of the colors to match your skin color or to do your own color. 

For an example I am really fair so I use the fair skin tone colors on this palette but I do mix it up with the medium contour shade. When it comes to the darker shades I can use it as eye shadows. There are no rules when it comes to makeup. You can use these colors as face product but also like eye shadows. 

The negative about this palette is that you can't replace the colors when they are finish as you can with the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit. I hope they change it later in the future because only using it one time I really love it. 

So is it worth the splurge? YES! You get good amount of product, good pigmentation, steady palette and good variety of shade colors.

MAKEUP HAUL! Includes Chanel, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Kat Von D etc.

For some days ago I went for some makeup shopping and I did some damage on my bank account. I was actually for hunt for the Kat Von D Shade N Light contour palette but of course I ended up buying a lot more products.

Some makeuo news on Scandinavia is that our Sephora now have Sephora White and Black Cards which means you can collect points. We did not have that before but I am so happy about this because I know that a lot more people will be more products in Sephora and that means more makeup brands for the Scandinavia Sephora. I also got information that Scandinavia Sephora will soon launch online shopping! GOD BLESS THE MAKEUP GOD!!!!!

Anyways the makeup I bought was from Sephora and another makeup store in Sweden called KICKS. It's like ULTA in USA.

The things I bought in Sephora was the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette, Chanel Healthy Glow Multi-Colour in the colors Mariniére N02 and N02, anothe Beauty Blender, NARS illuminator in the color Hot Sand,  a small sample of Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum and Clarins Hydra Quench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase.

Then I went too Kicks and wanted to buy the Magic Of the Night collection but almost everything was sold out BUT I got my hands on the MAC last collection in extra dimension skinfinish in the color Shaft of Gold. It is such a beautiful bronze color filled with gold shimmer. LOVE IT. I also bought MAC mineralize skinfinish in the color Lightscapade and the two MAC lip liners in the colors Whirl and Soar. I bought two mascaras one from my favorite mascara brand of all time, MaxFactor, in False Lash Effect - Full lashes, natural look mascara and Eyeko London in Curvy Brush Mascara. I also got my hands on the famous Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer.

After that I could not resist myself so I went to another store called Åhlens which they have more higher brand of makeup such as YSL, Bobbi Brown, Doir etc. I  bought for the first time the famous Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in the color Beige. I must say it was expensive but so worth it. LOVE IT. The I also bought one eye shadow from Bobbi Brown in the color Cool Ivory 2K. It is a very cool grey tone that you can use as a transition color but also as a contour color. Very pigmented!

After seeing Tati (one of my favorite Youtuber) using the H&M makeup I headed directly to the store nearby my and bought two things from the new makeup line. I bought one single eye shadow in the color Baci Di Dama and one palette in the color Aubergine Dream. Before I took makeup serious I bought most of my makeup from H&M but the quality of that makeup was horrible but I must say that I am really impressed of the new makeup line from H&M. The have redone EVERYTHING from foundations to lipsticks. I will buy more makeup from H&M.

Would like me to post more makeup haul and do you want more close up pictures of all the products?

Have a wonderful day!
