I have been using Manukahonung MGO 600+ for a while to relieve my sore throat and try to get rid of my recurring sore throat / throat infections. So...
Det är sällan jag visar pressutskick “bara sådär” utan att testa och ge en recension samtidigt – men detta kit från Pixi får bli ett undantag för det är ju så himla fint!
These products are not something that I myself will start selling (in the current situation at least) even though I myself am a reseller for Pixi, because these special kits are not always in the range for that long.
But they are really nice, so even if you are not going to buy make-up for yourself, these are great gift tips! :)
Look how nice !! The box is divided into three different looks that are made in collaboration with different influencers: Cloe Morello, Dulce Candy and Weylie Hoang.
It is difficult to see proportions in the picture so I also took pictures with myself in the picture so you can see how cool it is:
So inspiring! I myself sell Pixi really appreciate all the nice packaging they always have for their products, you will be happy with them! :)
The Dulce Candy collection consists of two palettes:
Dulce's Lip Candy (adlink) is a lip palette with 9 different colors, so nice!
Tip! In my web shop we have sales on other palettes from Pixi and there you will also find one lip palette with even more colors for only SEK 299 :)
The collection with Chloe Morello contains a multi-palette and a shimmering lip gloss!
Palette Chloette (adlink) contains 3 blushes, 6 eye shadows and 3 brow shadows. So smart!
Lip Icing (adlink) is lip gloss shimmer that can be used both alone or to top other lip colors.
The best gift tip is the Weylie Hoang kit Dimensional Eye Creator Kit (adlink) with a small and flexible eyeshadow palette and a duo eyeliner! The eyeliner thus has a liquid eyeliner (like a felt-tip pen) at one end and a eyeliner at the other end.
Here is a bridal make-up that was so much fun to do! She did test makeup with me on Creative Makeup and these photos were taken then, it is now on Saturday I will make her up on the big day!
I was almost eager to force her to buy these eyeshadows at home haha, they suited her so well :)
Glitter usually does not want to be seen at all in the picture, but in the transition between the two eye shadows on the eyelid, I have also dabbled in a little discreet glitter that really became the finishing touch!
These eyeshadows were my first suggestion and I was so happy that she liked them! The groom would also have exactly that peach golden tone on his tie so it was spotless :)
Hope you were inspired too, regardless of whether you are getting married or not;)
Annika (who Miska and I run our company with) is the most independent person I know. She does exactly everything herself and what she does not know she learns!
As long as I have known her, she has fixed her own nail extension with chalk-white French manicure. Now after a number of years I suddenly became curious about how she does, so now she has taught me that! :)
The result I am looking for is:
Strong nails that do not fall off
Stylish and fine nails even without nail polish
Durable result on the nail polish when I want to paint the nails in one color
So I myself have not lengthened my nails (as Annika does) but only made acrylic on my natural ones for a lightening and strengthening.
Did you know that nail polish lasts longer on a built material than on the natural nail because the nails produce oil? I thought it was just because it will be such a smooth surface on built nails, but a nail therapist told me before that the nail bed produces oil that makes the nail polish drop :)
Jag använder ingen uv-lampa utan blandar lim och nagelpulver och sedan sprayar jag med en “glue activator” som härdar allting.
What you need:
A small glass bowl to mix in
Nail powder, I have a white one because I want a lightening of the nail, so it looks more stylish without having nail polish :)
Nail glue (it's like a clear liquid)
Glue activator (spray) that hardens the glue
Ordinary nail file
Polishing nail file
Transparent nail polish if you want a nice shine on the nail.
A brush (or two) you are not afraid of, it does not have to be great, you can kind of use those plastic watercolor brushes that come in children's paints you know? :) Because it gets kind of ruined later.
It is Annika who has bought this starter kit for me so I unfortunately have zero control over where you can buy everything. Shout out if you want to know and I'll ask her!
If you want to make an extension, you also need tips, then you glue on the tips before and then you do all the steps that I will explain below.
But I have quite long nails anyway so I do not need it + do not want French because then you have to redo them as soon as the tip grows too far out. My hope is that it will last so well that I only need to replenish the outgrowth when they grow out. I have never seen Annika with a broken nail so I guess it will hold me just as well :)
I could not take photos step by step because you need to be quite fast so that the glue does not dry out. But in the future when I get the speed so maybe I can show you!
Here's how I do it:
File the nails to the length you want
Pour glue into the glass bowl
Pour in nail powder and stir with the brush so that it becomes a mess, something between runny and thick :) If it gets too thick, you can easily pour in more glue. If it is too thin, it is not possible to build up the nail and if it becomes too thick, it will just be sticky and damn.
Applicera på nageln, är krämen bra blandad så är det ganska enkelt att sprida ut den jämnt för den “flyter ut” litegrann. Kolla i olika vinklar så att det ser jämnt ut. Var försiktig så att det inte kommer på nagelbanden eller på huden bredvid naglarna.
Spray glue activator. I usually do it between each nail but Annika finishes each hand and then she sprays on all 5 nails at the same time. But I do not want to risk accessing the nail and destroying so I harden immediately.
Polish the nails with a polishing file (my file has 4 steps) then the nails will be smooth and smooth!
If you happen to get major irregularities somewhere, you can file with the usual nail file before.
Finish with transparent nail polish
Clear!
sustainability
As for durability and I can not say much yet than I have not had this for so long, I have got a small crack in the thumb nail after 1 week when I happened to hit it hard in a chair hehe. But I pulled on some nail glue and it seems to hold up well anyway. But other than that, they are still whole and nice 1.5 weeks after anyway!
Results
The nails turned out so good I think! Great shine, nice lightening and they feel hard and durable without being thick. I like that they still feel thin and natural as well.
Fint va? :) I like that it is bright and fresh at the same time as it is a bit transparent so that you can see the tips a little through.
Note I am aware that many will think I am completely crazy crazy who risks ruining my nails like this at home! You can get reactions if you happen to harden acrylates on the skin so you have to be careful and responsible. Annika has been doing this for any number of years, but you should be aware that it is not something to play with.
But you have to live a little too;)
If you want, I can update you with more posts about this when I have gained more experience myself? And if you have any questions already now, you know that it's just a matter of shouting :)
I have a real craze for yellow right now, every time I sit in front of the makeup mirror and think about what I should achieve today, my fingers always want to walk towards my yellow eye shadow from Paese haha.
Idag blev det “eldfärgerna” gult, orange och rött och så bröt jag av det hela med olivgrönt under ögat. Snyggt tycker jag!
Almost like sitting in the grass and watching the sunset;)
Pull out the eyeliner like a thin wing in the outer corner of the eye
Blur the eyeliner with a little light green eye shadow on the brush, Paese opal eyeshadow (Atacama)
Yellow eye shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line and over the eyeliner
Green glitter on the inside and outside of the eyelid and under the eyeliner, Mood Wood Natural Glitter (Mint)
This week has not been the most interesting this year, but it has been a lot of preparatory work that shows results soon and waited for different answers here and there.
But I still got a lot done and had a lot of customers so I have not been lazy if you say so :)
Target image June 30, 2019!
Last Monday we had planning day again me, Miska and Annika and now the target picture for 2019 is nailed! In addition, our first strategic focus, ie what we should focus on the most, the first 3 months.
In 3 weeks we have a kickoff and will present this to the whole team, I am so tagged!
Goal image in the making :)
Three happy tiredies after a long day :) Love to sit and watch with Annika and Miska !!
Sample make-up and many customers
It's been a fun customer week now! I have done two test make-ups for weddings + a make-up consultation and I have had to take before and after pictures of all three so I will show them in the blog later.
The only day completely without customers this week was last Friday so then I had time to catch up with some other admin job :)
We had a sunny Saturday morning and I took the opportunity to work a little without while Miska painted a new painting :) Next Saturday I am fully booked with bridal make-up so I take the opportunity to enjoy a 2-day weekend!
News from Pixi and preparation of blog material
I have been so diligent in producing blog material lately and have photographed many more step-by-step make-up than usual. So very soon I am ready to go to Spain and thought to be more or less blogging for 3 weeks!
Den här Spanien-puffen i ryggen har faktiskt inte varit ett dugg krävande utan jag har bara fått mer inspiration. Att planera blogginläggen och inte bara “blogga för dagen” är så mycket roligare :)
I have received a press release from Pixi that will be shown in the blog soon as well, so fun! I got this absolutely incredible kit as a blogger and not as a reseller.
I was so proud on the way to the car when we were going home haha!
Jag har även gjort en beställning av lite nyheter från Pixi! Dels har H2O Skintint och Pat Away Concealing base kommit i mörkare nyanser också – YEEES! :) Och så ska jag ta in nya nyanser av Shea butter lip balm och Endless silky eye pen, så kul! Sen har dom en ny supercool mascara + “glitter kräm” till ögonen som jag beställt testers på också – om dom kvalar in i webshopen så kommer ni få se dom nyheterna hos mig i höst!
It takes a little longer for me to get news than other webshops, because I test everything so carefully first :)
Check out how smart this mascara is! There are two brushes in the same sleeve (the narrow one sits like inside the big one) if you unscrew the top you get a narrower brush that accesses all the small strands and is perfect for the lower lashes, and if you unscrew the whole top you get a large brush which gives more volume. I think so extremely smart!
Hope it keeps the measure :) Continuation follows!
Excited by cortisone
I fredags åkte jag in senare till jobbet p.g.a läkartid på morgonen för att kolla mina lungor/feber som jag skrev om förra veckan. Han tog mig inte riktigt på allvar först, “you may have asthma then“, men sen när han lyssnade på mina lungor så ändrade han sig kvickt så det var ju skönt :)
Han sa att jag har inflammation i lungorna (och att det kan ha orsakat halsinfektionerna och att mina halsflussar inte har varit “riktig” halsfluss) så nu har jag lämnat fler prover och äter kortisontabletter.
Han sa “you should take the tablets in the morning, because you can get quite excited by cortisone so it can be difficult to sleep“. Jag älskar ordvalet “exalterad” och inte bara “pigg” haha! Det är säkert placebo men tack vare detta så har jag känt mig otroligt exalterad och glad efteråt haha!
Perfect medicine for a business owner;)
Anyway, I only get infected if I have a lot of cough (which I do not have) and do not need to rest because I no longer have a fever. So I have been approved to work as usual! Wihoo!
I know that inflamed people are spelled with 2 M but on Snapchat you apparently could not write such long words haha.
Next week will be a little more intense so now I will turn off the job brain for a while and take new steps next week.
