Beauty Favorites | New video

Just uploaded a brand new video after a seven month hiatus. Phew. I'm shocked at how easy it is to edit on my MacBook so I felt a little something inside that makes me want to post more. Now. Or tomorrow. Or very, very soon. Here's what I was wearing in the video:

Dress from nelly.com
H&M necklace gifted from my colleages
Nail polish is L'Oreal Island In The Sun
Half Baked, High, Beware, Riff and Buck eyeshadow from UD
24/7 Perversion liquid liner from UD
Urban Decay Trap lashes
Urban Decay Sheer Obsessed lipstick

Oh, I also dyed my hair back to pastels. Really liking this purple/pink combo right now. I will probably always return to these colors I think. 

Orange hair tips

Around two months ago I decided that I needed a little hair change - as I always do - dyed my hair orange and chopped off my long bangs. It's been fun, but as usual I'm about to go back to my lovely pastels. There's just one more 80's work look involving crimped hair and Whitney Houston makeup that must happen next week before getting back to basics. So, I thought I would share my orange hair tips before saying goodbye.

Orange is fun. Constant redying, is not. I started out with Direction's Apricot which looked cool, but lasted approximately one hair wash. Do not recommend. Next I mixed Direction's Mandarin with a tiny blop of Bright Daffodil. Cool color, better longevity, pretty bad fading. Boo. However, the orange that has worked best for me has been Napalm Orange from Special Effects. The color starts out a dark, neon red-ish orange that almost hurts to look at (picture six) and fades into a nice, intense yellow based orange (picture five) that after five hair washes still doesn't need any touching up. Very pleased with Special Effects as always and will keep using their hair dyes for my next adventure. Talking about that, please say a little prayer to the hair gods for me so my hair will go blonde without any nasty stains when I bleach it next week..

Working girl / favorite makeup products

Lately I've been having a lot more days with makeup on, than days without and the products I use the most and work for me best has really stood out clear. I decided to share a little list of all my current favorite beauty products, since I usually get loads of question on instagram, tumblr and facebook about what I use. So here it is, easy peasy, everything about all of it in one place.

Skin products ♥

I use Makeup Forever Mat Primer to prime and perfect my skin. Then I either use a combo of Makeup Forever HD Foundation in 117 + Pro Finish Powder in 113 or a combo of Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Foundation in 20 and the pressed HD Powder. Favorite concealer is the Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer in shade 4. I always finish off with Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray that I love.

Brows ♥

My favorite brow product is the Makeup Forever Aqua Brow applied with the 274 brush. I use shade 15 all over the brow and add a little shade 25 towards the end. I also like to use the Urban Decay ''Buck'' eyeshadow applied with an angled brush and finish off with Nars' Brow Gel in Athens.

Contour, highlight & blush ♥

I've been loving the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette - especially the highlighter is amazing and I use it on my cheekbones, nose and cupid's bow for that perfect glow. Also love the Illamasqua Nymph blush.

Eyes ♥

My absolute most favorite thing in the universe right now is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette that both smell and taste like chocolate (don't ask, haha). I've been using it most days since I bought it and the gold shadow is the prettiest eyeshadow I have ever had. I've also been using the Urban Decay Naked2 palette a lot. For eyeliner the Makeup Forever Aqua Liner in 13 is what I love most and then either use Studio Sculpt Lash from MAC, Urban Decay Perversion Mascara or Smoky Lash from Makeup Forever. False lashes either  MUFE 14 or 15 ones.

Lips ♥

I love the Naked Lipgloss in Walk of Shame for everyday use, it makes my lips tingle and feel so soft so I reallyreally recommend it. Also love Makeup Forever Rouge Artiste Intense lipstick in number 23, 34 and 48 + the Makeup Forever Rouge Artiste Natural lipstick in 18N + MAC's Saint Germain, as always.

Phew. That was a whole lotta info. Are you guys using any of these products yourself and is there any product you want to recommend for me to try out? Hope this post was helpful to you!

Tribal makeup for work

Since regular blogging is on hold for now, I figured I might as well try to post some makeup looks for work. Today the Makeup Forever girls and I picked a tribal theme - you can see all of us on instagram here - and this is what I wore, besides a nude lipstick that I didn't have at home. This was kinda put together last minute and I was running out of several products, but the final result reminded me a bit of the girls from Rasputina, so I'm not complaining.

Makeup Forever full cover concealer

Makeup Forever HD powder

L'Oreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner

Gold glitter nails for the cheap

When you're trying to save up for a new apartment, occasional trips to the nail salon really aren't very realistic, and sometimes just wearing plain nail polish get's boring. It's in times of boredom you must turn to nail stickers, glitter and fun ways to make your nails look personal.

I've been very into glitter dipped nails lately so I decided to try it out myself. It takes no time and is super affordable. First step is to apply Max Factor's Marshmallow nail polish on your entire nail, then quickly before it dries sprinkle some Stargazer gold glitter from eBay on the tip of your nail, wait for it to dry, brush excess glitter off and finish with a clear topcoat! And you're done!

Product test - ShaveSafe

I have been dealing with extremely sensitive skin since I started shaving my legs. Rashes, razorburns, ingrown hairs, you name it. I've also tried a ton of different products for hair removal but none that really worked and I'm honestly sick of not being able to wear nude legs in the summer because I might ''break out'' the day after I've shaved.

I've done a ton of research and a lot of people have sworn by this product, so I decided to give it a go. It's 100% free of perfume, parabenes and colorants and should help make the shave go smoother, leaving your skin free from all the bad things you might have experienced earlier. You get the best results after three weeks of using the product and you should shave every two-three days at first. So I'm gonna do that and see how I like it!

Last Minute Halloween Makeup + DIY Fake Blood!

I decided that I had to do better on the halloween videos this year so I wanted to show you guys how to easily get a creative and scary look for all the halloween parties without having to spend a lot of time and effort doing it. It's basically made from old makeup laying around and stuff most people can find in their kitchen. And let's be honest, who doesn't love being covered in blood and makeup a few times a year? Fake blood, that is..

ELF Gem tools collection!

I recently discovered this Gem Collection by ELF and now I'm totally obsessed with it! There is everything from eyeshadow brushes, eyelashes curlers, powder brushes and everything comes in three different colors - pink, purple and silver. I'm not sure about the quality but for the cheap prices I think it's worth it! It's not available in Europe yet, but I'm sure I will get some of this when it is. 

You can see more of the collection right HERE

New in - goodies.

Finally I got all the stuff I ordered weeks ago + plus a little more while I was out picking it up.

I love Stargazer for it's cheap prices and good quality.
