Glitter Eye Shadow - Shimmer Brown (Smokey eyes)

1

Our new eyeshadows from Paese are the Glam, Sparkle and Glitter series. Previously, I made up with one of the colors from the Glam series (emerald green eye shadow in this post) and one of the colors from the Sparkle series (copper eyeshadow in this post).

So now it's time to show one of the colors from the Glitter series!

I had a very hard time deciding which of the colors I should start with, the black with silver glitter I could make a really nice smokey eye with and it itches in the fingers to show the purple glitter too!

But I decided to show the brown eyeshadow 04 Shimmer Brown first because it easily ends up in the shadows because it does not stand out next to the others - but it is SO heavenly nice :)

BASE:

Face primer - Paese Makeup Base (Correcting)
Powder - Paese Bamboo Silk Powder
Concealer - Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base (1 Cream)
Foundation -
 glo Pressed Base Mineral Foundation (Golden medium)
Powder that neutralizes redness - glo Redness relief powder
Contouring - Contouring Palette (2)
Rouge - Paese Powder Blush (57)
Fixing Mist - Pixi Makeup Fixing Mist

Eyebrows - glo Micro Brow Pencil (Light brown)

Lipstick -  Paese Silky Matt Liquid Lipstick (706)

Just feels like a boring word choice but I really feel that this eyeshadow has the perfect balance between just dark, just light and just right glittery to suit both everyday and party!

I also took a picture out of focus so that you can see the glitter better. It is therefore very glittery but with many small grains!

EYES:

Prime with eye primer before you start! I use Pixi Eye Bright Primer.

  1. Brown glitter shadow on the entire eyelid, Paese Glitter Eyeshadow (04 Shimmer Brown)
  2. Same shade along the globe line, fade out
  3. The same shade along the lower lash line
  4. Light glitter shadow in the corner of the eye and under the brow, Paese Glitter Eyeshadow (01 Starless Gray)
  5. Black mascara on all lashes, Magnetic lash mascara

If you want exactly the same results as my pictures, supplement with a light pencil along the waterline as well, e.g. glo Precision Eye Pencil (Peach). Mine is tattooed candle :)

Clear!

Many glitter shadows can become dry and crumbly from the glitter grains, but these are pigment-rich, smooth and easy to apply :)

Hugs are!

 

 

The perfect copper color for make-up! (Eye shadow)

0

A copper eyeshadow is so nice, I'm really weak for it!

Although it is a common shade in the make-up world, it is not easy to find a perfect copper eye shadow according to my taste - they often become too bronzed.

But the shade 428 from Paese Sparkle Eyeshadow är den perfekta kopparnyansen! Den är tillräckligt bronzeröd för att inte bli “bara orange” men tillräckligt orange för att verkligen få fram den koppriga tonen. Dessutom är skuggan skimrig åt det metalliska hållet vilket blir pricken över i!

Hope you like it as much as I do :)

There is something special about light lips and the same eyeshadow on the entire eyelid that makes me always want to be quite sparing with mascara, I think it gets so nice when only the eyeshadow itself takes focus! :)

Clear!

I could wear this eye makeup every day and never get tired!

Sometimes I think about how I would make up every day if I did not do different looks for the blog and I think there would have been many looks like this - a selected eye shadow that is so nice that you just need it around the whole eye and nothing more: ) Simple and effective!

 

 

My business week - New start!

1

This week started with a new week and new month at the same time, Monday the 1st of July, which made for a fresh start right? :)

In this Sunday post, I thought I would write about just that theme, because this week has been quite symbolic for me in terms of getting a fresh start!

New business year
On Monday we started a new business year (because we have financial statements last June) with a new and fresh sheet in the accounts, very nice!

We always set a goal in the company that is until June 30, so now is the time to set a new goal for next year!

Three of the points in the previous pictures were these:

  • The staff handles all daily activities and problem solving - CHECK!
  • We have a well-functioning room and routines where both customers and employees are happy - CHECK!
  • The staff's sales make the salon safe and profitable - not a complete check.

The last point is that the company should go plus even if Annika does not take customers, which we have unfortunately not done yet. It's not really about us having a bad income (because we do not have it) but that we have too high costs. High salaries for the employees and high quality of both premises, products and consumables, then a huge amount of tax on it. We must review this thoroughly in the coming business year!

När man sätter en målbild så är det inte att “bara hoppas” på att man når det, utan man ska reach it! You follow up everything regularly and if you see that it is not going in the right direction, you have to work / change strategy so that it does. But even though we struggled, we have not reached all the way there and it feels really sour!

Men så här är det: Vi har kommit jättelångt ändå! Vi ska verkligen ge oss själva en klapp på axeln allihopa! För ett år sedan satt vi i en osäker lokal med rivningskontrakt och om jag och Miska inte var på plats så fungerade inte rutinerna. Vi kände att vi “satt fast” på flera sätt. Men nu har vi en bra lokal med ventilation och bra värme/kyla, kollegorna klarar sig själva och sköter allt dagligt jobb på salongen så som kunder, beställningar, packa webshopspaket, receptipnsjobb m.m. Så duktiga!

What will be the next goal picture remains to be seen, Miska, me and Annika will sit down some day and talk things through!

But what we have decided on already now is to invest more in marketing and resume the routines with regular meetings. When Annika had a child and we were all a bit on parental leave in the spring, we have not been able to have meetings as often, but after the holidays we roll up our sleeves again :)

So this week I booked all the meetings for the autumn! Every other week we have meetings with everyone and once a month we also have individual meetings. Hug meeting stands for kunstructive, roligt, alla moath workers and kissing meetings stand for ppersonal udevelopmentssamtal.

Exercise & diet schedule
Monday, July 1, is there a better day to buy a gym card? :)

On Monday, Miska and Annika and I started as test persons for the Fitness family, so for the next 4 weeks we have a diet and exercise schedule! The idea is that you will see before and after pictures later! You can follow on Instagram @fitnessfamiljen :) We mostly post on Insta Stories.

The fitness family has three different layouts:

Miska kör “muskelökning” och ska öka maximalt i muskler men ha en minimal fettförlust.
I kör “skulptering” vilket är främst muskelökning men också fettförbränning. Helt enkelt att forma om kroppen!
Annika kör “fettförbränning” för att bli av med sina graviditetskilon. Hon gjorde en omgång i maj då hon tappade 5 kilo på 4 veckor, däremellan har hon haft en paus och nu kör hon det sista för att nå sin målvikt.

Each diet and exercise schedule is also adapted for each person of course!

I have a pretty bad posture so every morning I do exercises to get a better posture. Nothing hard but mostly to activate / stretch the muscles.

My approach is brief as follows:
3 training days a week when I eat a lot of carbohydrates, a lot of protein and a little fat.
4 rest days a week when I eat a lot of protein, enough fat and some carbohydrates.

So there is always quite a lot of protein but the difference is that I eat some fat when I exercise and some carbohydrates when I have a day off.

The training schedule is quite tough to build muscle fast. In some exercises, you should run as hard as you can a set, then you reduce the weights but increase the number of repetitions. So hard!

Miska drove first and then the bar looked like this:

Sen tog vi bort vikterna och jag orkade inte göra ett enda marklyft med bara stången! Jag ba “I do not think Hampus understands how weak I am! How can I lose weight when I can not even carry any weights!?!" Lol.

But then we found a smaller rod for me:

Soo humid it looks hahaha! It was awkward!

3. A more mañana lifestyle
Jag är så trött på att använda ordet stress, det blir sådan negativ betingning när man hela tiden säger det även när man pratar om förbättringar så som “stress less, become stress free” eller olika former av oro/obalans “I have inner stress, I am stressed because my to-do list is so long, my skin is stressed, oh god what a stress boost when Miska wins in crocket”Or whatever it may be haha.

I have a period now where I both have a lot to do, have financial catastrophic thoughts and also a little insecure in the feeling that I live temporarily in a tiny cottage. Sure, it works well now, but it's not a life goal right away.

Men vet ni vad jag känner? Det är en sak som jag börjat tänka på och påminna mig själv om ganska ofta den senaste tiden – att allting behöver inte alltid vara så djupt jämt! Ta det lite mañana Helena, haha :) Ni som lyssnar på fredagspodden vet att Amanda Shulman ofta refererar till låten “let it be” och det har hjälpt mig mycket också, men mantrat “mañana” började jag tänka av en slump och det hjälper verkligen!

Jag vill ha en lite mer chill inställning till saker, ta problem och utmaningar med en klackspark. För vet ni vad? Det gör ingen skillnad av att vara orolig eller stressad! Jag gillar inte tankesättet “vad gör det om 100 år?” för nästan ingenting gör någonting om 100 år, om man tänker så så har ju ingenting någon betydelse. Men livet går framåt även när saker inte blir som planerat vilket sker exakt hela tiden :) Alla företagare lever mer eller mindre med ekonomiska katastroftankar men vad är det värsta som kan hända? Jag kan bli av med företaget, och jaa det vore supertråkigt verkligen men livet går vidare även då! Om jag gör mitt bästa och det ändå skiter sig så kommer det skita sig oavsett om jag mår bra eller dåligt under tiden haha.

Som min kompis Hampus (som driver Fitnessfamiljen) som fick gråstarr och blev helt blind på 4 dagar! En annan hade ju suttit hemma och oroat sig, men vet ni vad Hampus gjorde? Med en gammal trälist som blindkäpp tog han sig hem till en kompis mitt inne i Stockholm för att se hur det var att åka tunnelbana och ta sig fram genom rödljus utan att se någonting! Sen åkte dom till krogen för att testa hur det känns att festa när man är blind. Det gick bort efter operation så han ser nu, men det visste dom inte innan eftersom han var ett specialfall. Han sa “but I could not do anything, if I become blind I will become blind regardless“. Snacka om chill inställning till livet!

Att vara mañana handlar alltså inte för mig om att jag ska skjuta upp saker “till imorgon” eller ta mindre ansvar, utan att kunna skratta åt komplicerade situationer, inte må dåligt av småproblem och även att hoppa på saker utan att tänka igenom det 100 gånger, vara spontan! Livet ska vara roligt! Detta är min personlighet egentligen, men det har varit så mycket ansvarstagande och problemlösning de senaste åren att jag tappat bort den delen av mig själv litegrann. Jag behöver någonting som påminner mig om detta, som en kom-ihåg-lapp som jag ser hela tiden ;)

Annika solved it for me today:

Tattoo studio on g!

Here I have my remember-note! How nice? ♥ And how good is Annika who writes the worst font freely?

It is located right on the side of the arm / wrist so if you look at the arm straight from the top it will not be visible. I'm so happy! It feels so good!

Och vet ni någonting ännu roligare? Hon ska tatuera en likadan på Miska! Så nu har vi samma :) Han ska även tatuera in “shoes are optional” som han har funderat på att tatuera in sedan september förra året. Det är lite samma tänk som “mañana”, att det är lite chill och man får leva livet precis som man vill! Man får ha skor på sig men man får också få barfota liksom :)

Now I will eat a cheese salad with mozzarella and vegetarian meatballs for dinner because today I have a day off so then I do not have to cram in carbohydrates :)

Then we get to see what the evening has to offer, we take it a little mañana! ♥

I am currently sitting on a pillow in front of the fire and working with the computer in my arms and the coffee cup on the floor, while the rain sounds so cozy outdoors :)

Paese Eyeshadow Swatch: Glam, Sparkle & Glitter

0

As you know, we have some news in my webshop and one of them is eye shadows from the makeup brand Paese!

Paese has three different series with shimmery single shadows and here are swatch pictures of the shades and a description of what is the difference between the three different variants:

The biggest difference is that they are very shimmery:

Glam gives the eyelid a nice glow but does not contain large shimmer grains
Glitter contains large glitter grains and gives a more glittering effect.
Sparkle are so shimmery that they look metallic and are also a little more creamy in the formula (but not so much that it is a cream eye shadow)

För ett tag sedan visade jag en sminkning med kräm-ögonskuggorna “Paese Foil Eyeshadow” och flera av er blev sugna på dessa! Mitt första intryck var jättebra så jag skrev att dom antagligen blir en kommande nyhet – men efter att ha testat lite till så beslöt jag att vi inte kommer börja sälja dom p.g.a. att hållbarheten inte höll måttet. Så dom kvalade inte in i webshopen tyvärr! Men för er som blev sugna på dom så kan jag rekommendera Sparkle-serien istället! Dom är i samma stuk som Foil-skuggorna men inte lika krämiga :)

Paese Glam Eyeshadow:

Glam Eyeshadow became the new favorite right when I got them in my hand for the first time! Every single shade is incredibly useful, the formula has a very nice luster and they are silky smooth and pigment-rich, which makes them very easy to work with.

201 är min nya “i ögonvrån-skugga” då tonen drar åt gulbeige vilket jag gillar! Jag har använt mycket silvervita toner den senaste tiden vilket blir lite kallare och hårdare.

204 is a shade that does not stand out in the crowd in the pictures but oh my how nice it is in reality! Perfect intermediate light / dark to be able to be used completely alone on the eyelid or as a complement to darker shadows. It is beige but has a glow that shines a little of apricot. So nice!

I'm so glad I have all the colors at home because if I had to opt out of any of these, the decision anxiety would have been a fact!

Here you see the green shade 206 on the entire eyelid. Mums! Out of the corner of my eye I have 201.

Paese Glitter Eyeshadow:

Glitter Eyeshadow is such a nice glitter collection !! Just enough glitter so it will be a very nice effect but not discoblingbling as when applying loose glitter.

When it comes to glitter shadows, there are two common types that I do not like: 1 Too much glitter grain so that the formula becomes dry and grainy / crumbly, then I prefer to apply loose glitter on the side. 2. Too little glitter, so that it glitters in the jar, but when you apply it on the eyelid, it becomes almost like a regular eye shadow.

But Paese's glitter shadows have the perfect balance! They are rich in pigment, smooth in the formula and easy to apply - but at the same time they are glittery and beautiful on the eyelids!

The brown shade became my favorite right away! It is perfectly light / dark to suit both everyday and parties and is really effective without being super dark. I was pleasantly surprised by it because compared to the other colors, it was the one that stood out the least when I held the jars in my hand for the first time. But it is cruel !!

Photographed in a bit out of focus to bring out the glitter better in the picture.

Here you see the brown 04 Shimmer Brown on the entire eyelid! Out of the corner of my eye I have 01 Starless Gray.

Paese Sparkle Eyeshadow:

Paese Sparkle Eyeshadow - the best metallic shadows! It is not fully cream eye shadows but the formula feels a bit in the creamy direction and becomes very pigmented and shimmery in a slightly metallic way. Despite a slightly creamy feeling and incredible pigment, they are still very easy to fade out and last all day.

All shades are gorgeous but the two on the far right, 428 and 432, huuur nice !?

I am weak for copper colors but even though it is a common shade in the make-up world, it is not easy to find a perfect copper shade according to my taste - they often get too bronzed. But the shade 428, what a gem! Perfect copper shade! Could have it exactly every day!

Also photographed here a little out of focus so that you can see the metallic effect a little better.

Here I have the shade 428 on the entire eyelid and in the corner of the eye I have a dab of 407.

It was all new shadows from Paese! I'm in love! Links to my webshop:

It's starting to fall but we still have eye shadows left on sale for only SEK 50 each! All the colors are based on the range, so we have a sale. Buy all SALE shadows here!
