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 =)

FOTD - Yesterday's look

Hi guys!

It's a gorgeous duo, the shadows are very silky and creamy and goes on so well.

Review - John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening spray

I bought this when I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago. I had been wanting this for so long and couldn't find it here in Stockholm. Anyways.. I've been using it since I got it and it definately works!

What John Frieda says:
Versatile, patent-pending formula with citrus and chamomile works with styling heat to gradually lighten and brighten for a natural-looking, blonder blonde. Contains thermo-protectant. Patent-pending technology combines fixative and conditioning polymers that retain hydrogen peroxide, allowing for control of lightening. Visibly lightens in 3-5 uses.

I say:
It has definately made my roots lighter. I have now used maybe 7 times (I don't use hair dryer or flat iron every time I've washed my ahir) and it has made a big difference. The mark between my coloured har and my roots has faded a bit and my roots are not looking as dull as they usually do (you know that greyish rat blonde). You do not need much of the product. I spray about 3 times on my roots and then maybe once lifting the hair on both sides of my face. I did see results in maybe 4-5 uses.
Now they say it has heat protectant in it allready but I always use my Tresemme heat defence anyways, just to be safe =)

Conclution:
I really recommend you giving this a try if you wanna lighten some areas (like the roots) of your hair. Maybe you just wanna maintane the summerhighlight you've gotten out in the sun during summer? I bet it would work great for keeping that sunkissed look for longer =)
5/5

FOTN - Lauren Conrad inspired look..

So tonight I was at a friends house just hangin' out with some friends =) And because I had watched The Hills reruns all day today I felt like doing a Lauren Conrad look for the night. She always has a black liner with a little wing on the upper lashline, she also lines her lower lashline (1/3 of the way in) and connects it to the wing. To make her eyes pop and open up some more she has a cream/white eyeliner on the waterline..

Now, I didn't want that very defined look that a gel liner or a liquid liner gives, so I just went for a pencil to soften the look =)

I USED

Face: Lumene Beaty Base Matifying primer

MAC Select cover foundation NC30

MAC Studio finish concealer NC25

MAC MSFN 

NARS Bronzer Laguna

NARS Blush Deep Throat

Eyes: Lumene eyeshadow primer

MAC e/s All that glitters (lid) & Vanilla (highlight)

MAC Eye Khol Feline (lashlines)

MUS Eyepencil Vanilla (waterline)

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

Isadora Brow pencil Liht Brown

Lips: MAC lipstick Hue

Elizabeth Arden Eight hour cream

Dupe alert - MAC Misschievous Mint vs. H&M Mint Green polish

Ever since I got the MAC Misschievous mint polish from the Quite Cute collection it has been a fave of mine. A true companion I would say ^^ Now, when I got the Summer nails minis kit from H&M about a week ago and I wore the Light Blue one and then the Mint Green one I found myself thinking "wow this polish reminds me of my MAC one" about both of them. So I thought I would compare them today. And seriously I found a 100% dupe for my LE MAC polish that I love sooooo much.

I mean, just look!

MAC Misschievous Mint - H&M Mint Green - H&M Light Blue

MAC Misschievous Mint - H&M Mint Green - H&M Light Blue

The Light Blue one is way more light blue (as the name suggests) than the other two and doesn't have any hint of green in it (yes in the pictures it's quite similar but trust me it's not). But the other two are exact spot on dupes! SO if you missed out on the Quite Cute collection from MAC and have been wanting the super duper awesome Misschievous mint polish I suggest you go out to an H&M store and see if they have the little Summer nails Kit (4 mini polishes for 39.90 SEK = £3.88 = $6-26). Maybe they even have it as a normal sized polish? I'm not sure..

Both MAC and H&M polishes has great formulations and they are set with just 2 coats. They are both smooth and easy to work with. I'm so happy I found a dupe of my beloved MAC one, cuz now I don't have to be careful of how much I use it ^^ 

What do you guys think? Do you like mint polishes? =)

Pretty Little Liars Look Series - Spencer

So as I've said my camera has decided to start working a bit again (for how long I'm not sure) so I did the second Pretty Little Liars look yesterday. This time it was the look of Spencer Hastings. Hope you like it =)

Now, when I see Spencer on the show she almost always wears a matte look. Often she wears cooler toned browns and it looks great on her. She also quite often wears a darker shadow on the lower lid/lashline area and a lighter one on the lid. So that's what I did. =) Also she looks like she rarely have anything on the lips (maybe a very natural brownish lipstick) so all I did for lips was to put on some EA 8 hour cream.

I USED:

Face: ACO Bronze face gel mixed with Revlon Colorstay Foundation 180

MAC MSFN 

MAC Beauty powder Her own devices (LE Venumous villians)

Eyes: Lumene Shadow base primer

NYX e/s in Taupe (lid) and Hawaiian Coffee (lower lid)

MUS Vanilla eyepencil (waterline)

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

Isadora brow pencil Light brown

Lips: Elizabeth Arden Eight hour cream

NOTD - H&M Light Blue

FINALLY !! I got my camrea to work again, BY pushing a button haha.. Anyways, since I'm not feeling well atm I thought I would give you my NOTD =)

w/o flash vs. with flash =)

I LOVE this light blue colour it's so pretty! The picture w/o flash is the most true to colour.
I've never ever had a just plain light blue nail polish but I found this one in a little kit of four mini polishes at H&M called Summer Nails. It had a light blue, a coral, a pale yellow and a mint green.. Really nice!
