Winter & Spring

4

The winter make-up I published yesterday seemed popular, fun!

Here comes one in the same feeling, but which is much more discreet for those of you who prefer it.

I also think that this one, with the pink lipstick, is both a winter make-up and a spring make-up, or what do you say? :)

The turquoise shade is from iMys 40 Palette, and the glitter eyeliner is from Viva la Diva.

I'm prioritizing the driver's license for a short period now, so I'm a bit careless with the posts but I hope you do not notice it too much :)

Hugs to you and hope you have a wonderful end to the week!

Today's question - Home remedies

11

We all have different tips and tricks we can share, and even I as a beauty blogger can not possibly have tested just about everything.

I therefore thought I would ask you a question, and anyone who is curious about this can check out the comments field to get new tips and ideas! :)

Something that I am very bad at is trying different home remedies, I think like homemade face masks and hair wraps, to make a lotion of natural ingredients you have at home in the pantry or how to get a perfect body scrub by e.g. use coffee grounds.

Today's question is - What home remedies do you use?

Do you follow? :) It is both cheap and environmentally friendly to be able to do so!

The only thing I can remember that I use (and grew up with) is homemade St. John's wort oil, which my grandmother has made from St. John's wort flowers that she picked herself in the country. St. John's wort has a healing effect and is great both for dry skin and if you get a wound somewhere.

I do not know exactly how the process works (can find out if anyone is interested) but it is at least cold-pressed olive oil and St. John's wort flowers that you make St. John's wort oil from. I have heard that olive oil actually has a little too large molecules to go easily into the skin, but since it is mostly the effect of the St. John's wort you are looking for, it may not matter so much which oil you have.

I found a site that sells St. John's wort oil, for those of you who want to try but do not want to wait until the summer. SEK 80 for 100ml you will find here!

After my cuticle oil ran out, it struck me that St. John's wort certainly works just as well, so now I use it around the nails 2-3 times a day and it works great!

Scrubbing with coffee grounds is also something I have wanted to try for a long time, but since it must not get down the drain and clog, I have not taken up the matter yet.

Hope you have some good recipes or ideas to share! If I get new tips from you, I will really try to test and review it in the blog! :)

Hug hug!

Photography course

0

I have gotten much better portrait photos in the blog after I took Emelie Ohlsson's web course in photography (you will find my previous post about it here) as I now get nice pictures without having to use flash.

Now I got a newsletter from her about one Christmas package for only SEK 499 where, among other things, the basic course I took is included, and much more as well! I feel that I want to tell you photo enthusiasts about it, as the offer is only valid until Sunday, so take care if you are hungry :)

The idea is that my makeup pictures will be even better this year, at least the close-ups on the eyes. However, I do not have time to get to grips with it right now, but soon I also thought of buying Emelie's lighting course and investing in an even better camera. Then you will see top pictures in here!

There are two packages, both cost SEK 499, one is more business-oriented while the other is more for bloggers / individuals.

“Get this party started” är grundkursen som jag gick, och är supernöjd med den! :)

This post sounds almost bought, but it is not, I'm just so happy with my course that I really want to tell you about it!

Kiss hug!

New Girl Jess - Makeup Tutorial

6

I really LOVE the New Girl series, it's so simple and fun and you can really recognize yourself in certain situations. The main character Jessica Day is like me up in the day sometimes, blue-eyed and clumsy hehe.

Zooey Deschanel, who plays Jess, is also furiously good-looking. Her look is so natural and discreet, but still she manages to get big innocent deer eyes. Me like.

Today's make-up is therefore inspired by her! :)

All eye shadows come from iMys 252 Palette.

1. Light brown eye shadow on the entire eyelid.
2. Blur the edges.
3. Light eye shadow in the corner of the eye, under the brow and at the bottom of the eyelid.
(Do not put the light shadow alone in the globe line, the idea is that the globe line should be darker in a very natural way)
4. Dark brown eye shadow smoky quite wide on the lower lash line, widest in the middle, and a little narrow and discreet along the upper lash line.
5. Black eyeliner (erased) along the upper lash line and a little at the bottom of the lower lash line, Yves Rocher Eyeliner (01 Noir)
White eyeliner along the waterline, IsaDora Inliner Kajal (50 Satin White)
6. Black mascara on all lashes, nudh mineral Mascara.
