Matching makeup and nails

4

It has been a full roll today, and that is why today's make-up is published so heavenly late!

It is actually photographed around 19 o'clock, and therefore I did not get a good close-up of the eyes as it was so bad light, but I think you look decent with only full pictures of this particular look :)

The make-up is inspired by my new nails that I have done on Nails Uppsala today - pink, orange and yellow!

More pictures of the nails can be found at modernmom.se, they got a little dull on my makeup pictures so I recommend that you look in there too :)

As I said, the nails look a bit dull in the make-up pictures, but in reality they are about as bright!

What do you think? :)

The Incredible Face Mask

5

This weekend I tested The Incredible Face Mask for the first time, and even though I think you have to use it a few times to see a big difference on the skin, I still thought to give my first-impression review :)

Ansiktsmasken är en “peel off mud mask” som appliceras på huden, och sedan när den har torkat helt (mellan 30-45 minuter) så ska man dra bort den med fingrarna – och då följer pormaskar, gammal hud, olja och orenheter med!

Efter första användningen försvinner den “ytligaste” smutsen, men vid regelbunden användning så ska man kunna se större resultat så som mindre akne. Finns det inte massa smuts och orenheter i huden, så kanske den där finnen som skulle ha blossat upp, aldrig gör det.

It also comes with a brush, which I think is nice, so you do not have to mess too much with your fingers!

I chose to only apply to my problem areas the first time, and not all over my face. On the one hand, I do not have a lot of pores and the like in the rest of my face, but mainly because I have so much fun on the sides that I want to keep;)

The mask feels comfortable on the face, and is easy to apply.

When it had dried, all you had to do was pick up a flap on the side, and then you could pull off the whole mask like a whole big piece. It's quite tight, so I'm glad I did not apply it so much on the sides.

Man såg faktiskt efteråt att det satt en hel del “porisar” och orenheter på ansiktsmaskens insida! Inte jättemycket dock, men jag har inte megamycket sådant heller.

The skin felt smooth and comfortable afterwards, and above all clean! I peeled the face right after as well, because it felt a bit like you pulled up a lot of dirt that was not really stuck and followed with the mask.

A test package costs SEK 249 and contains 5 masks + an application brush, and you specify the discount code helena30 you also get a 30% discount! :) The discount code is valid until April 8.

Tummen upp säger jag, och det ska bli kul att testa fler gånger och se slutresultatet! Det är dock ingen “snabbmask” innan man ska iväg någonstans, då den dels tar ca 45 minuter att torka, och dessutom blev jag knallröd efteråt också och det tog en stund innan det la sig.

But I like it! Any of you who tested? :)

Emite Make Up - Aloe Powder Blush

6

About a week ago I wrote a comment on Hiilen's blog, as I think she has become so good and spends so much time on her posts. This made her so happy, that she actually sent me a little product kit! :)

Där i låg bland annat Emite Make Up Aloe Powder Blush som var en “Limited Edition”-produkt i deras sommarkampanj 2012, men den ser fortfarande ut att finnas till försäljning here! It is in any case possible to put it in the shopping cart.

You can excuse sloppy pictures, but I'm in a hurry to go and fix my nails Nails Uppsala today so I'm a little stressed :)

Anyway, I like this 3-color powder! The two darkest shades are applied under the cheekbones and the light one is used as a highlighter on top. I also use the center color as shading for the rest of the face.

Aloe Powder Blush contains extracts from "summer snowdrop" (which gives an anti-aging effect, stretches the skin and evens out fine lines) as well as Aloe vera and emollient jojoba oil. Perfect summer product in other words!

I think the colors are very nice, they are very rich in pigments so you have to be careful and shake off the brush before applying on the face when you need so little! The darkest tone is a bit too dark for me right now, but will be super nice when you get some color.

The package is large enough that you can easily take only one color, or several on the brush!

Thumbs up I say, will definitely continue to use this product! However, a little juicy price, SEK 310.

Hugs are!

Miska's nephew Collin was also there (6 years), and was very fascinated when he found a skeleton in the forest “en ÄKTA dinosaurie!!!”  he shouted and nagged to take it home, haha. His dad had probably been happy enough then;)

Now I'll cook some breakfast before it's time to go to Uppsala to drive Collin home (we are babysitters). Is just over today, when I was both a drunk driver yesterday and that the clock was set for an hour as well. And Collin is damn morning alert ..

Hope you had as great a weekend as I did! :) Hugs!

Colorful Eyes

For two days in a row, I have photographed my make-up in another window, I usually do, and have only judged the pictures on the camera screen and thought they would be super good.

But now that I put them in the computer, they are mega-greyish, super sad. You may excuse me, but here comes another greyish step by step but I promise to improve! :)
