Beauty list

7

The fun thing about blogging is that you can go back in time and see what goals you had before, and compare with your goals today. Have I achieved my goals, or am I still in box 1? This applies to both large and small things.

Idag gick jag tillbaka till ett inlägg jag skrev förra våren. Då hade jag gjort en lista med “skönhetsmål” jag skulle nå innan sommaren, superkul att läsa i efterhand!

So I thought I would publish that list again, and write under each point how it went and what my goal looks like for this spring / summer:

1. Tattoo more makeup on your face. Black eyeliner on the upper lash line, light along the waterline to open up the eye, and there will probably be a lip tattoo too! :)
Yes box, I did all this and brown eyeliner on the lower lash line. Still super happy as you know :) However, my plans now are to fill in the eyebrow tattoo again and make them a little bigger!

2. Start with Revitalash again, so I get really long eyelashes.
I started with Revitalash after the summer actually, when this was written just before Revitalash stopped selling if I remember correctly. Then I found a salon that had a package left in the warehouse, it was not forbidden to sell out what you had, but the formula just stopped being manufactured.

Now, however, I am thinking of eyelash extensions instead! But it depends on what the wallet looks like as it approaches. Otherwise it will be honest eyelash coloring and permanent with Annika at Creative Make Up :) It is very effective too, and with my tattooed eyeliners it does a lot!

3. Color the eyelashes, of course;)
I both colored and permanent the lashes in May, look how nice it turned out!

4. Train on my pink training bike that I will get home tomorrow, great !!
Haha, yes that exercise bike has been in the closet for the most part actually. But now I have started better and have been cycling regularly since mid-January! You feel so much better when you exercise, and if you feel good and live healthy, it can be seen in both the appearance and the skin! So my goal is to keep training, and get it into my routines.

5. Color the growth. In any case, I will try to wait until May, if I do not get abstinence first. The wallet sets its limits.
I have bleached my outgrowth at exactly 2 month intervals for more than a year now. But as you know, there is only one week left before it's time to dye sombré (ombré in a more natural way) and put in hair extensions, which hopefully happens the same week :) So peppered for it now, my outgrowth is chaos!

Treat yourself to lots of nail polish! Maybe even build nails and paint nice patterns in a salon :) Long nails / nail polish neither lasts nor is approved by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency if you work in a kitchen…
Oh, this really hit home as soon as I stopped working in the kitchen at Länsförsäkringar! To go to Christina on Nails Uppsala is among the best I have done I think, nice nails do so much for the whole and I feel a thousand times prettier thanks to it!

7. Bleach your teeth.
I whitened my teeth with BeconfiDent and was very pleased with the result, now I also sell it in the webshop! But I have very white teeth naturally, despite a lot of coffee, so I have not actually continued but am wondering if I should do it before the summer again! Or maybe in connection with the new hair already…;) We'll see!

8. Insert new feather extensions into your hair! Has been without for a while now.
I do not think I did it then, but now I have done it again as you have seen! But they go out again when I have to dye my hair.

–
9. Find a good cream for sunburn / rash.
I did not find any cream, but tablets + some other tips I came across myself that helped decently. You can read my previous post about it here! But since I still did not make it from the rash to 100%, I am still looking for a good cream or similar, anyone have any tips? I can manage for the summer, but we are going to Cape Verde in November and then it would be super nice to avoid a rash :)

In addition to this, I will also try to update the wardrobe with new clothes, shoes and accessories. Nice nails, nice hair, and nicely made up - without nice clothes. It's not possible;)

If I manage all these points before the heat comes, I will feel like the world's most beautiful summer girl!

Hope you were inspired :)

Make-up - Green eyes

3

To emphasize green eyes, you should use shades between purple and red. Purple, lilarosa, pink, RED, for example.

Of course, people with green eyes fit in all colors, but it is these shades that emphasize the eye color. To emphasize / fit in, are different things.

But here comes at least a make-up that highlights green eyes! :)

Firewood, firewood and firewood

0

Hey corner! :)

Excuse me for letting go of my absence here in the blog, me and Miska helped my mother with the wood all day yesterday and today I am completely tender in the muscles! Can barely bend to put on my socks type, haha.

We have no electric heating or the like at home, but fires to get both hot elements and hot water for the shower. And it is an incredible amount of work to get the wood in from the woodshed (in the yard) down to the basement of the house, where it will be lined up nicely.

It was a gym session for several hours approximately;)

Now I'm going to have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of the makeup mirror, so I can catch up on some blogging!

Hugs are :)

Zooey Deschanel Makeup

6

Hahaha, I did a Zooey Deschanel-inspired look and put on a wig with bangs and updo hair to be more similar. And then when I put the pictures on the computer, I see that I just look like a little boy! And then it was too late to take new pictures.

I offer it;)

But I have to go home and help my mother with lots of firewood now (yes, we have a stone age house hihi) and then I have to help my friend to study. So I do not have time to write in such detail about the make-up, and do not know if I have time to blog so much at all today. But it's Saturday so you might be forgiving? :)

Anyway, I found a really nice picture of Zooey Deschanel (Jessica Day from the series New Girl) where she has a discreet but intense brown sweep that she matches with orange lipstick. So nice!

Here are the pictures, comment if you have any questions!

Friday coziness

1

Det är “den tiden på månaden” nu då chokladsuget är som värst och humöret går lite upp och ner. Jag är inte alls grinig, men blir lätt känslosam och rörd. Blödig känns inte som ett lämpligt ordval, hehe ;)

So guess the feeling when I got home LCC's dry shampoo from Nordic Feel which I ordered yesterday (quick pucks) and found five nice pieces of chocolate in the package! Ooooh exactly what I needed!

IMG_1124_1

I already have dry shampoo in my hair from another brand now, so I will shower and wait a few days before I can test this.

But I have smelled it and muuums I just say, I did not think I would ever want to have caramel in my hair but I will probably want to use this every single day :)

Review coming in about a week!
