2 safety cards must haves for fall..

So maybe you're a neutral girl when it comes to makeup, but you would like to sometimes change it up. Now when fall comes a lot of girls (men too) tends to go towards orange, red, rusty colours and that might not be you cup of tea ;) It's hard to wear rusty and reds when you're not used to colours..

I have 2 must have colours that really are safety cards when it comes to change up your make up with colours.
1. Mac eyeshadow Woodwinked- such a classic metallic gold that everyone should have in their collection!
2. Mac eyeshadow Sumptuous Olive- a gorgeous olive green with a hint of gold shine.

The very best thing about these two colours are that they both blend out beautifully so you don't need any other colour than maybe a highlight for your brows and inner tearduct. =)

Sumptuous Olive - as you can see it blends out to a nice warm brown colour.

Woodwinked - this one also blend out to nice warm brown colour, maybe a bit more 

orange than Sumptuous olive. But still very very pretty.

Back! - With a NOTD

Hello Guys!
So I'm back from a kinda' long break from everything blog/internet. I've been so so busy and so stressed and on top of it all I was sick for quite som time.

Anyways, I'm back again =) My NOTD is kinda' summery but I really don't follow the seasons trends with nailpolish ^^

H&M Light Blue & China Glaze Solar Flare as an accent on my ringfingers..

I've been really enjoying using Solar Flare as an accent on my ringfingers with whatever colour I'm wearing, Pinks Blues Greens Reds.. Gold goes with everything =)

NOTD - Starry sky

So lazy sunday, sundays are usually the days when I paint my nails cuz I just don't have the time or energy to do it other days.. And today I felt like doing some nail art (if you can call a gradient, art) with some blues and some glitter. I wanted my nails to look like a starry sky =) this is how it turned out:

I USED

O.P.I's Azure for Supre (light aqua blue)

China Glaze's Awaken (gunmetal grey) & Shooting stars (multicolour glitter)

Make up Store's Raven (dark dark blue) I think this one is actually discontinued =/

FOTN - Saturday date night

So yesterday my boyfriend took me out on a date night =) We've been together for a little more than 2½ years and I feel it's really important to still take the time to go out on dates just to keep the fun in your relationship.

So he took me to the Italian restaurant in the old part of Stockholm that we went to on our second ever date. It's one of my fave restaurants ever, it's small, cozy, great food, great service (we got comlementary champange just because we were early and had to wait a few minutes, such great service) it has those classic red & white square table cloths, it's just one of my faves. If you ever have the chance when here in Stockholm go to Ristorante Paganini Väster Långgatan 75 Old Town..

Anyways here's my FOTN for my date with John =)

I USED
Face: Lumene beauty base matifying primer

Garnier Tinted Eye roll-on

Bare minerals Original foundation

NARS Brozer Laguna

NARS Blush Deep Throat

Eyes: Lumene eyeshadow primer

MAC e/s All that glitters (lid), Vanilla (highlight), Graphology (smudged along eyeliner)

Helena Rubenstein Silk Pencil Black (waterline & along lashlines)

Isadora Eyebrow pencil Light brown

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

Lips: Eucerin Lipbalm (fave lipalm atm)

As you can see I went for a little smokey "sexy" look. I think this is as heavy as I go when on dates. I wouldn't go for more just because I want John to see my eyes and not just the makeup. Also I went for lipbalm as it's soooo much nicer when you kiss ^^

Just a little Haul..

So this month I'm on a very strict budget so I can save as much as possible. Hopefully for a round the world trip =) But, I've let myself spend a surtain amount on whatever I want and I went for an oldie but goodie and 2 completely new products for me.

First we have my fave silk serum - L´anza' Healing strength silk serum. It was on a 30% off sale and mine that I use now is almost completely gone so I just couldn't pass up on it..

Then, just beacause I'm curious and I actually don't like MAC Fix+ all that much (it does nothing else but  take away the cakyness) I went for the Urban Decay All nighter setting spray. I've heard so many great things about this setting spray I had to try it. It's also my first ever Urban Decay product hehe =)

Then, because I'm a huuuge fan of Too Faced's Primed & Poreless primer when it now was time for a new powder (my MSFN is almost gone, and it's too heavy in winter) I thought that maybe I'll like the powder as much as I like the primer. So I went for the Primed & Poreless powder =)

Now this is it for shopping this month hehe.. I only have money for food left in my budget now so any other shopping will have to wait til next payday..

What do you guys say? Have you tried any of these products? =)

Hi Ladies!
So i found this great little list thingy on Funky Makeup Junkie and thought that it looks like a fun way to expand my horizon and find other blogs that I otherwise wouldn't. So check these blogs out and/or enter the list yourself =)

August favourites!

Can you guy beleive it's september allready??? I can't, crazy! Anyways September is here and it's time to rally up the August favourites =)

Head & Shoulders Hydrating smooth and silky Shampoo & Conditioner - I have a very sensitive scalp from time to time so I sometimes need a more hydtrating shampoo and conditioner that will help my scalp aswell as my hair. These does he trick. My scalp doesn't feel as dry and sensitive anymore and my hair is silky and soft. It's smells gorgeous aswell =)

The body shop Coconut Body butter - I bet you've all tried this one before and loved it as much as I do. I usually get very sick of the coconut smell during summer, but when summer is almost over I tend to use this just because it is so moisturizing and I feel it's summer just a litlle while longer =)

CLEAN Outdoor shower fresh perfume - Been obsessed with this one the whole month. I just love it!

O.P.I Nail polish Koala Bear-y - This is such an amazing berry pink it's crazy. It has an amazing formula aswell. I can actually get away with just one coat sometimes, but just to be safe I always do 2 coats but still. Formula is amazing =)

Garnier Tinted Eye Roll-on - So easy for those days when you don't have much to do, maybe some grocery shopping or something. I just roll on some under my eyes, dot it all in, finish the skin with some powder and blush and that makes me look so natural and fresh. Love it!

MAC eyeshadow All That Glitters - I've been using it all over the lid those days when I just want a little bit righter eyes. Such an easy colour to wear.

Special Favourite:

Bicycle helmets - A few days ago, a man almost ran me and Balto over but he managed to just in time stear away but the bike went down and he went up in the air flying towards a moving car and he hit the car (on the side) with back of his hed, neck and shoulders. I'm sooo thankful he had a helmet on, his head would be crushed if he didn't. He got away with just a soar shoulder and some scratches on his legs.

So please people, wear a helmet when biking in the city!!

Products I've hit pan on atm..

Since I use so many different products all the time, eyeshadows blushes etc. It's rare that I hit pan on something so quickly. BUUUT I have hit pan on 3 products atm. My absolute fave eyeshadow highlight, my fave blush and my fave bronzer (chocker that they are my absolute faves right? ;P)

¨

This is one of my favourite blushes ever. NARS Deep throat. 

It's kind of a weird place for hitting the pan but when I got the blush it was a little 

(tiny tiny tiny) dent there along the side, so I guess that's why ^^

My fave bronzer, NARS Laguna. In summer time I rarely wear a lot of makeup. I usually go with a TM, concealer, bronzer and blush on my face so I've been using this every day since summer began.

MAC eyeshadow Vanilla.. OMG this is my must have absolute fave hoghlighter ever. 

It's easy to work with, easy to build up, it has a nice finish (satin) not too shimmery or matte. 

It's just theeeeeee perfect highlighting shade =)

What have you hit pan on recently?? 

2011 VMAs - Kim Kardashian inspired makeup

Hi guys! I had the worst day today ever.. So when I got home the first thing I did was calm down with some coffee and a Jerseylicious episode (yes I know that combination may not be calming for everyone ;P).. After that I felt I needed some makeup therapy and decided to do a VMA 2011 Celebrety look. I decided on Kim Kardashian's look, just beacuse she had on such a nice purple shadow that I thought was more fun than a regular smokey eye.. Here's a picture of Kim at the VMA's..

Here's my look

Now, I could have gone out a bit longer with my liner, winged it out more but I didn't hehe

An update on what products I used will come later or tomorrow =)

NOTD - OPI Flashbulb Fuchsia

So I wanted to paint my nails today after I cleaned the apartment.. You know, to relax myself and feel a bit more pretty (I usually feel quite disgusting after cleaning haha) but I had no idea of what colour I wanted.. So when I looked in my collection I found an old fave of mine, a bright bright fuchsia pink with some blue shimmer.. I haven't used it in probably a year so I though it was time now =)

Isn't it pretty?? It looks a little softer in the picture than it does in real life though =)
