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!

Top 10 fashion picks



I'm back with a new Top 10 of items I'm currently lusting over from all over the internet. Craving everything black, white, clear and grey - lot's of textures and materials, and shapes that stand out enough for not much color or accessorising to be needed. I'm loving contrast and this is honestly the shoppinglist that I'm currently going for. Also finally stumbled across a pretty good knock off of the Stella McCartney tread shoes, and they just happen to come in my size which is more than you can say about other models like them.. Now I just need to choose between those and the Jeffrey Campbell Scully's on preorder. What would you guys go with?

Stella McCartney vs. Jeffrey Campbell

I've had my eye on the Stella McCartney heavy tread shoes that has become an incredibly popular A/W 13 item. The over the top industrial vibe is completely balanced out by the clean, white color and I love that Stella used faux leather and thick rubber. They look so iconic and they're beautiful in both black and white. I can however not find them anywhere online (any tips much appreciated!!) but I stumbled upon the Jeffrey Campbell Scully shoes that is obviously very inspired by Stella's model - I like that the heel is higher, to me a tall heel is beautiful, but I feel like they're such a ripoff that I would feel sad wearing them. The Scully's are made from genuine leather which is a minus to me and you can almost see that the quality is in no way near the original model, especially when you own other Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I do love this design though, so my hunt for the original ones will continue!

What's your thoughts guys? Would you feel fine wearing the Scully's even when their such an obvious knock off?

Real life sexy sweaters - sweaters with realistic photos


Do you guys remember my old posts about sexy sweaters back in 2011 when the tumblr trend really took off and everyone was obsessing over sweaters with real pictures? Well, it never really became a thing in real life, but I recently discovered an amazing online store with a ton of different sweaters like the ones Sexy Sweaters made a few years back. I instantly fell in love with a bunch of their items and just thought I would share it with you as well. I picked out my favorites above, but you can click here to check out more.

Would you wear some of these this fall? I'm craving the pearl sweater!

Current obsession - 2D handbags

I have a new obsession. 2D bags. I've spotted these on several bloggers, while trying to decide which one I need to get. Designers Chay Su and Rika Lin came up with the idea to make cartoon like illustrations come to life as 2D looking bags, and the brand jumpfrompaper was born. I get pop art vibes and the first thought that came to me was how much the bags reminded me of this outfit Daryl Hannah wore in Kill Bill. I think my favorite must be the yellow one, but you can see all the bags on jumpfrompaper.us

What do you guys think? Hot or not?

Top 10 fashion picks

Miu Miu Swallow platform slingbacks - my dream shoes

 In 2010 Miu Miu put out an amazing spring/summer collection that I instantly fell in love with, all the swallow and cat printed details were perfect styled with the long braids and overly cute outfits, and especially these crystal embellished pink satin heels had me obsessed. The price kinda scared me off though, but my obsession never ended and they just need to be a part of my shoe collection!

Pretty much every fashion blogger swooned over these shoes and they were featured in endless outfit posts, magazines and editorials. Since they were such a big hit it's been impossible for me to dust out a pair in just my size, I keep falling over knock-offs like these and these but an original pair is nowhere to be found. I don't even care if I get a pair of knock-offs, I just neeeeeed them. So I'm asking you guys - do you know of any sites where I can grab a pair in a size US 9.5/EU 41? I have been looking for three years and I might soon give up. On life.

Versace for H&M must haves.

 This is my absolute favorite item from this collection. The shape is amazing, the color scheme is perfect and I absolutely love the print. It's made of quilted velour and has gold buttons all the way down. This is the one thing I'm absolutely sure I'm gonna buy and the price is really affordable. I can already see this with my pastel pink hair and a highwaisted black skirt. $150/799,-

 Palm printed, shiny stretchy leggins. I'm really not the leggins-loving kinda person, but I think this print is very unique and I can Imagine it going so well with the jacket above. Also I'm loving the bright colors and the fact that there is some dark or black contrasts on them. Costs $47/249,-



Short sequin dress with open bag and funky print. I really like the mix of colors and the sunset theme. 
I doubt that I ever will get over my sequin obsession and this dress costs $150/799,-

Sweaters with real picture print.




I have seen more and more of these cool sweaters on tumblr and it's such a good idea to use real pictures on sweaters. A few people have asked me where to get them or at least something like it, and after researching a bit with no good results I'm turning to you. The last few times I've been obsessed with something, someone on this blog always knew where to get it. It is rather annoying that where the brand should be someone drew it over with black.But if anyone know where to get something like this, please contact me or comment this post!
