The week has consisted of two things: Products, products, products and a deep dive straight into my brain ghosts haha!<\/p>\n

Lots of text today, sometimes that's how the Sunday posts are :) Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paese sale, news and new packaging<\/strong>
\nArranging a sale and bringing in news may sound like a quick thing to do. But not this time haha. Partly because there is always a lot more work than can be seen from the outside, but above all because Paese is always a bit awkward.<\/p>\n

Note I love<\/em> Paese! Men det \u00e4r ett helt virrvarr med nyanser, n\u00e4stan alla heter bara siffror som dessutom \u00e4r helt random. Nu har vissa utg\u00e5tt fr\u00e5n vissa serier och det \u00e4r j\u00e4ttesv\u00e5rt att minnas vad nyanserna heter s\u00e5 man m\u00e5ste alltid dubbelkolla allting. Bara att r\u00e4kna lagersaldon till rean gjorde en helt slut i huvudet “8 st 686, 10 st 668, 12 st 345” p\u00e5 30 olika nyanser. Sen ska alla dessa in i webshopen ocks\u00e5.<\/p>\n

In addition, I want to ask the person who made their nuance pictures how the process went, because I am really curious about how it can be so bad haha. When I was going to put the pictures in the webshop, I had to edit them myself in photoshop!<\/p>\n

Of course, shades can differ a little on different screens, but on the glitter shadows it was extreme! Example: A light gray shade with a slight pull towards the beige side. To the left you see Paese's picture and to the right you see mine that I edited myself:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you buy the shadow on the left which partly looks very dark but above all blue (!) And gets the eye shadow on the right, then do you think you got the wrong color home?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think this kind of job is fun but not when you do not have time.<\/p>\n

Shopping online is not the same as in a store, so you have to work extra hard not to disappoint anyone. In addition to editing the product images, I also took swatch images on all 19 new eye shadows!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here I sit at half past ten on a Saturday night and take eye shadows haha. If I have decided to finish that week, I have! ;)<\/p>\n

I updated our Insta Story (do you follow @ creativemakeup.se on instagram?) With all swatch pictures at the same time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So useful and SO nice! You will find them in my web shop here<\/strong><\/a>! Soon you will see make-up with these nice eye shadows!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know that you are injured at work when you take a shower, but realize how nicely the eye shadows shimmer and go out to pick up the phone haha.<\/p>\n

Now the pictures are taken so next week I will blog about them in more detail! I will photograph the new blushes as well, but it will be next week too :)<\/p>\n

Take role models for the Fitness family<\/strong>
\nIn a Sunday post<\/a> a few weeks ago I wrote about the company Fitnessfamiljen which we will start up again with Hampus. He ran it very successfully 4 years ago and went from being overweight all his life to super trained!<\/p>\n

But due to life's circumstances, he stopped both the company and taking care of his health and now he is on square one again - 128 kg and 128 cm around the waist (how easy is it the same number? Haha) and yesterday we took role models for tomorrow he will start again!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is July 1st and<\/em> Monday, how nice but new week and new month on the same day? As done for a fresh start :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Redo att fota f\u00f6rebilder! Jag tog \u00e4ven bilder p\u00e5 f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen Hampus st\u00e4llde sig p\u00e5 v\u00e5gen vilket var p\u00e5 gr\u00e4nsen att jag fick, det \u00e4r ganska \u00e5ngestladdat eftersom Hampus inte \u00e4r tjock f\u00f6r att han lever “det glada livet” utan f\u00f6r att det \u00e4r destruktivt f\u00f6r honom. Alla \u00e4r olika, en annan kompis till oss \u00e4r tjock, glad och n\u00f6jd men f\u00f6r Hampus \u00e4r det m\u00f6rkare \u00e4n s\u00e5.<\/p>\n

At the same time as you get to follow Hampu's weight journey, we start working to receive new customers, build a website, log in and various questionnaires and documents are on the go! Soon we will start publishing more info on Instagram and Facebook and start searching for test persons to get more before and after pictures :)<\/p>\n

Email me at helena@creativemakeup.se if you are interested in testing for free and post on before and after pictures. The face does not have to be visible. I received two inquiries when I wrote the last post and I have already written down your email addresses!<\/p>\n

Follow The fitness family<\/a> to support Hampus when starting tomorrow !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Det ser n\u00e4stan riggat ut haha men detta \u00e4r allts\u00e5 Hampus tv\u00e5 dagar innan “resan” b\u00f6rjar. Han hatar n\u00e4r jag kallar det “hans resa” men jag vet inte vad jag ska kalla det annars haha. Redbull, folk\u00f6l och cigaretter samtidigt som vi har m\u00f6te ute i skuggan. Jag var bara tvungen att fota en bild!<\/p>\n

New make-up brand on g?<\/strong>
\nYou know that I used to go quite far in my research to make my own make-up brand with a special niche, it is quite unusual with make-up concepts that do not already exist and I really believed in the idea - and then you have to test!<\/p>\n

For several years I have had two make-up brand ideas, 1. a brand that is colorful, fun and unique! And 2. a more professional brand with a niche in a specific area.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r ett \u00e5r sedan kollade jag upp m\u00f6jligheterna f\u00f6r b\u00e5da dessa och ins\u00e5g att det “professionella” m\u00e4rket inte var aktuellt just d\u00e5 av olika anledningar, s\u00e5 jag b\u00f6rjade s\u00e4tta t\u00e4nderna i det f\u00e4rgsprakande m\u00e4rket f\u00f6rst!<\/p>\n

I still believe in the idea to be added, but after I did my research, I put the colorful make-up brand on ice, maybe forever. That concept had many difficulties:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The concept is based on the products being cheap and our idea included a way to bring down the prices, but it turned out that it is mostly packaging and handling that costs and not the content itself. So it cracked a little there.<\/li>\n
  2. However, it would still work if you produced an extremely large amount at once to reduce prices, but the costs are calculated per shade and not per product and to make this concept work, a huge number of shades are required, which would have resulted in a much larger investment. than we predicted.<\/li>\n
  3. And these points simply do not go together, we with the help of investors might have been able to do this IF we were sure of profitability. But to get a budget brand profitable, low costs are not enough, you also have to sell to so extremely many customers. Because even if the profit per product sold would be 90%, it will still not be many kronor per customer if the product is very cheap.<\/li>\n
  4. This had been a colorful brand that had demanded that there was always news, limited edition, themes, campaigns, collaborations, etc. and that was what I previously thought sounded most fun! But I have reevaluated a bit. When I started getting testers and color samples from manufacturers, I realized that I do not want to work on getting a lot of new products out quickly, especially not for a budget brand where you always have to prioritize to keep prices down. I can not choose a ready-made formula that they already work with because there are always small things that need to be adjusted - and then it costs accordingly!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jag vill l\u00e4gga allt krut p\u00e5 f\u00e5 produkter ist\u00e4llet!\u00a0S\u00e5 jag ins\u00e5g att det \u00e4r sminkm\u00e4rke nr.2 som jag vill g\u00f6ra, det mer “professionella” men som inte var aktuellt. S\u00e5 hela v\u00e5ren har jag bara jobbat med salongen och s\u00e5dant som jag redan har, inte p\u00e5b\u00f6rjat n\u00e5gonting nytt n\u00e4r jag inte vetat hur jag ska g\u00f6ra.<\/p>\n

    But before midsummer I was told that there may be a possibility for make-up brand no. 2 anyway! So now I have started to specify exactly what I want for products etc. and started a presentation. Part of me is afraid to start dreaming too much (more on that later in the post) but part of me is SUPERPEPP!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Saturday started with a long shower where I thought about my make-up brand and sang at the same time haha. Then I started writing a presentation! It's pretty fast because I've had these ideas in my head for so long. Has already come up with a great name for the makeup brand too, woop, woop!<\/p>\n

    Am I afraid of failure?
    \n<\/b>I tisdags satt jag, Miska och Annika och hade ett “inspirationsm\u00f6te” d\u00e4r vi pratade b\u00e5de h\u00f6gt och l\u00e5gt, bland annat fastnade vi l\u00e4nge p\u00e5 det h\u00e4r sminkm\u00e4rket jag ska s\u00e4tta t\u00e4nderna i nu.<\/p>\n

    Jag sa n\u00e5gonting i stil med “jag k\u00e4nner inte riktigt igen mig sj\u00e4lv, jag brukar vara en s\u00e5n som dr\u00f6mmer mig bort direkt och hoppar in i allt utan att t\u00e4nka, men nu t\u00e4nker jag n\u00e4stan bara realistiskt och probleml\u00f6sande fr\u00e5n dag ett”. Och efter att ha pratat fram och tillbaka om alla “problem” s\u00e5 sa Annika “men jag k\u00e4nner mig n\u00e4stan lurad nu, inget av det h\u00e4r \u00e4r ju problem!” haha.<\/p>\n

    So we went a little more psychologically into my mindset (Annika has spent many years in therapy so she is almost a self-taught therapist haha) and finally I realized that this is how I feel:<\/p>\n

    Det \u00e4r en del av min personlighet att jobba flitigt och om jag p\u00e5b\u00f6rjar n\u00e5gonting s\u00e5 g\u00f6r jag det f\u00e4rdigt! Men sedan vi startade salongen s\u00e5 \u00e4r det s\u00e5 mycket id\u00e9er och projekt som antingen inte har blivit av alls eller som vi p\u00e5b\u00f6rjat men lagt ner f\u00f6r att det inte fungerade som planerat. Allt fr\u00e5n sm\u00e5saker som en enkel rutinf\u00f6r\u00e4ndring och nya behandlingar till st\u00f6rre projekt som det d\u00e4r f\u00e4rgsprakande sminkm\u00e4rket. Och nu k\u00e4nner jag n\u00e4stan att jag hellre inte b\u00f6rjar alls \u00e4n att b\u00f6rja och inse att jag m\u00e5ste l\u00e4gga detta p\u00e5 is ocks\u00e5.\u00a0Det har liksom varit f\u00f6r m\u00e5nga “misslyckanden” i f\u00f6rh\u00e5llande till “antal vinster” f\u00f6r att min personlighet ska orka med haha. Jag \u00e4r r\u00e4dd f\u00f6r att bli en s\u00e5n som bara snackar och p\u00e5b\u00f6rjar massa projekt men aldrig slutf\u00f6r n\u00e5gonting.<\/p>\n

    Annikas svar p\u00e5 detta var “v\u00e4lkommen till livet som kreativ!” haha. Och hon har ju r\u00e4tt,\u00a0att v\u00e5ga testa nya saker \u00e4r en del av att vara en bra f\u00f6retagare och att avsluta saker snabbt som man m\u00e4rker inte fungerar \u00e4r inte ett misslyckande, det \u00e4r smart!<\/p>\n

    I really know that I am not one who just gives up, but you have to say it out loud and realize why<\/em> you feel like you feel to be able to shake it off :)<\/p>\n

    So now I can let it go and become myself again haha. Hey ho let's go!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Here I swim and think about the future and my make-up brand haha. We were on Gotland over midsummer and the first two nights we stayed in a hotel and I started every morning by swimming and bathing \u2665 Best meditation!<\/p>\n

    My horoscope for June 27 - July 19 is: Cancer:<\/strong>\u00a0“Hello new income opportunities! With quick Mercury in your income and money house, you may have good opportunities to sell you or your product. The result is more money in the account or perhaps a whole new income opportunity.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

    Sounds promising iiih! As always, I read Helena's Horoscope<\/a> at Amelia.se :)<\/p>\n

    Well-needed active holiday<\/strong>
    \nSometimes you need a holiday in different ways. To spend time alone with Miska and just rest in a deck chair and eat good food, I need when I have worked physically tired. But right now it is more mental work with decisions, problem solving, future plans, etc. and then I need an active holiday to disconnect everything.<\/p>\n

    So our midsummer vacation could not have started better: Two hotel nights on F\u00e5r\u00f6sund Fortress<\/a> at the top of Gotland! Can highly recommend that hotel! It was quiet, calm and harmonious at the same time as it was a cool environment and you had to borrow bikes and cycle around as much as you wanted :) And very easy to take the ferry over to F\u00e5r\u00f6.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    My darling on a bike \u2665 The most fun person to go on adventures with! Get flashbacks to the feelings you had when you were little, Miska is the cool guy who does tricks on the bike and shouts at me excitedly over a giant toad that chills among bone remains in a cave. And I'm the giggling girl who comes swaying on a saddle that is too high and needs help to climb too high rocks. I think Miska is the most fun in the world and Miska thinks I'm the most charming in the world, haha! Kind of like our days were! :)<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    I realize I have the same dress in all the pictures haha! But it is so practical when it is sunny outside because it is strapless because I do not want sun stripes. Perfect everyday dress in the summer :)<\/p>\n

    Then Friday-Monday we lived at Frida and Bj\u00f6rn's house on their magic farm they moved to last week! So it is absolutely amazing! And there it was full of guests until we went home so there was a lot of talk and excursions all weekend, so nice! Just what I needed right now!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Idah, me and Frida in front of the stately midsummer pole! Behind you see Frida's horse paddock which soon has two horses in it. We helped to paint the fence, the perfect mix of enjoying the sun, hanging out and doing good at the same time \u2665 So thankful that I have Frida as my best friend, she is the best!<\/p>\n

    Now it is 11.15 this Sunday morning and I will have a coffee in the sun and then I think about sewing a little maybe. It is also a good active holiday :)<\/p>\n

    Hope you had a fantastic midsummer weekend and week you too, no matter how and if you celebrated!<\/p>\n

    Hugs are \u2665<\/p>\n
