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.

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.

Maybelline Satin liquid foundation

Makeup Forever full cover concealer

Makeup Forever HD powder

L'Oreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner

Makeup Forever Aqua Matic S-52

Makeup Forever eyeshadows

Days to recharge

This is what you'll find me doing on days where I just need a break to reconnect with myself and find new energy. Shamelessly having breakfast in bed with a bunch of magazines and comfy, cuddly socks. Yoga on my carpet before taking a long shower, then pampering my skin with DIY masks, mixtures and different oils. Catching up on blogs and videos while eating lunch and sitting by my computer. Fixing my nails, hair and watching tons of movies will most likely also be on my list.

What do you guys do on days like these?

Purple bun and doll eyes

On thursday I was turning my sleeping pattern around, so in these photos I hadn't slept for just around twenty hours (a total of thirtytwo hours when I finally slept!!) so as you guys can probably guess I was wearing my bodyweight in Illamasqua concealer, went as overboard as I could with my L'oreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner, a tiny amount of random grey eyeshadow to fill in my brows and crease, a bit of Illamasqua's Nymph blush bring back some color to my face, MAC Saint Germain lipstick, Silver Dusk as highlighter both on my cupid's bow and cheekbones and finally some very cheap eyelashes from eBay that looks something like this - they're horrible to apply because they're way too firm, but I like the way they look. Oh and I'm also wearing this eyeliner on my waterline to reduce redness.

Sunday relaxation

I'm back from Roskilde Festival! Came back yesterday two days early, but one week of trash, noise and partying was more than enough for me. I've just been enjoying hot showers, clean sorroundings, shamelessly wearing my hair in a bun, no makeup, soft pillows and sleeping in my own bed. I also have no plans for today besides listening to Billie Holiday and reading magazines haha. In a minute I'll upload a photodiary of my festival week and tomorrow I'm gonna make a vlog + a liitle something exciting!

Here's a little music that I'm loving today -

Summer days

The weather has been great here the past few weeks, well, mostly. I went to visit my grandmother the other weekend and we went to a lovely beach and summerhouse, it was too cold for me to jump in the ocean but my brother did. We drove by a small fleamarket that we also went to last year and I found a few great bargains. I've also been hanging out with my girlfriends drinking wine in a lovely park and went for cosmopolitans in the warm evenings. I just love this weather, hopefully this summer will be long and amazing.

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!

Homemade avocado facemask

Tonight we had a lovely avocado salad for dinner and since there were a few avocados left I decided to make a homemade facemask out of them - I always love spending sundays without plans doing something nice to pamper myself like long baths, facemasks, hairtreatments and so on. This is super easy to do and doesn't cost a lot, so I just wanted to share it with you guys. Oh and obviously a lovely no-makeup-green-shit-on-ma-face-photo as well!

All you need is 1 avocado, a few spoons of plain yoghurt and a little honey.
Mash the avocado with a fork, add the yoghurt and honey and mix it together until it gets sort of sticky, then remove all makeup from your face, rinse with hot water and just dry off your face with a towel. Leave the facemask on for about and hour and then rinse it off and your face will feel wonderful and refreshed! There's a lot of wonderful vitamins and fibers in avocados and I love that this is super affordable.

You could also switch up the ingredients a bit and add bananas or use hot water instead of plain yoghurt - it's all up to you ♥

Face of yesterday.

I cut the arms of my sheer ruffle Asos shirt that I mentioned in my haul video not long ago, paired it up with this schoolgirl like cardigan with sequin pockets, a black highwaisted skirt and dotted tights from H&M. I also wore a cross necklace from my best friend, vintage earrings and had my hair in a messy fishtail braid.

If you want to see it in action you can go here and here to have a little look at my videos from yesterday. The first one is a DIY lip scrub that I posted on my youtube channel and the second one is my friday video on Androgenetics.

Three current favorites.

Joli Réve perfume - NYCE Sparkling Serum - Maybelline Onyx Black nail polish

I have a love for effortless products right now that are easy to work with but does the job. I'm constantly wearing the Joli Réve perfume and it makes me feel so light and fresh, my current favorite hairstyling product is the sparkling serum by NYCE - a few pumps and my hair looks amazing no matter what hairstyle I'm going for and the black nail polish is so easy to apply and dries in 40 seconds. Love.
