Heeeeej fina ni!

Are there many of you who will celebrate Valborg today? :)

In Uppsala it is super big, the whole city is crowded with people and it can even be difficult to call each other when the network is congested. Crazy!

I myself will work, and have, among other things, a party make-up booked with a person who is going out and making the city unsafe. Super cool! But for those of you who do not have a make-up booking with me and are going to do your own party make-up today, here is some inspiration to succeed with a nice Walpurgis make-up:

Summery, fresh but still festive looks :)

It will be a quiet evening after work as well, let's see if we go home to Gimo for a turn or if we drive a cozy evening in the apartment. It turns out, but will not be the last April celebration this year in any case.

But you who are in Uppsala are warmly welcomed past the salon! We are open 10-14 ♥

Hugs are!

When Miska saw this make-up, he exclaimed "you look like Johnny Depp!And I stood as a question mark. I saw either a handsome man on the red carpet or a sunkissed pirate in front of me, nothing that matched this yellow-pink look at all.

But I thought I reminded him of Alice in the Wonderland movie, where he has pink make-up and yellow eyelashes haha :) Can probably agree a little!

Hope you like the look you too :)

Met the world's goastest blog reader and customer at the salon yesterday! ♥

She lives outside Södertälje and has gone to Uppsala to do permanent makeup with us. Annika tattooed her eyebrows about a year ago, and now she filled in with Amir and was so happy :)

I was donating a little in the store when she was at the checkout, and then she told me that it was thanks to me and my blog that she got her nice eyebrows that she likes so much. I have been blogging about Annika for several years only since she tattooed my eyebrows, and there are very many who have come here thanks to it.

And she was so grateful that she brought me a present! How nice ?! My heart is melting! ♥

Got a super nice candle holder with spring feelings on, so nice! I will have it in front of me forever :)

It was a double gift too as I actually also needed a pink ribbon for my new blinds in the office haha. The window is so high that if I happen to pull up the blind completely, I do not reach the end so I can pull it down again. But now I have a nice light pink bow hanging in the curtain that I just reach :)

She also wrote a review on ours Facebook page after the visit:
”Am so happy! Made my eyebrows at Annika almost a year ago. Now I was back for a little filling and now they weret superproffsiga Amir who helped me. Everyone at the salon is friendly and professional and you are greeted by big smiles. And what a salon then, just say WOW! I live a good distance from Uppsala and I would have liked it to be closer to me (or maybe not if I think about the wallet...) Can be highly recommendedra Creative Makeup By Her :)”

Think that there are such nice people :) ♥

Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless (Test & Review)

Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless (Test & Review)

I have been a bit bad at reviewing products lately, which has only been due to lack of time. Do not want to carelessly test things just to get posts, and then it has not gotten rid of at all instead. But now we have new staff on site and I am not the only makeup artist at the salon as I have been lately, so now I can finally become a diligent product reviewer again! :)

Today I was going to show you a new foundation I got a press sample of this week, a foundation that should appeal to me completely if you listen to the product description. It is mattifying for oily skin and absorbs shine, gives a matte finish, is oil-free, fills in visible pores, and gives a natural result with normal coverage.

By the way, normal coverage is a word choice you do not hear so often, what is normal coverage? :) Moderate?

The foundation I'm talking about is Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless which looks like this:

This is how I like this foundation:

♥ Flexible packaging in a soft tube, so that you can easily get out that foundation cream when it starts I run out.
♥ Fills in the pores very well, I have tried to apply it with both brush and fingers, and prefer the fingers the most. It is very effective against visible pores.
♥ It covers well despite very, very thin layers. I dab a little concealer on my pimples but otherwise it covers really well.
♥ Very good formula, a little goes a long way.
♥ The skin is actually kept matte longer! I have tested it completely without face primer and powder, and am not dull all day but much longer than normal foundation.
♥ Recommended retail price is SEK 129, so it is very affordable.

X It's probably not a good choice for you with dry skin, I'm not dry but still I can see some small flakes in some places that I did not know I had.
X I do not know how they have succeeded so badly with their shades, I am quite pale right now but have never had the problem that the lightest shade is too dark for me. But even the lightest shade 105 is too dark and crazy too yellow for me. In addition, it is only available in 6 shades, which is crazy too little for a foundation that is so opaque as this that it does not adapt at all to its own skin tone.
X A matte base is really nice, I think, but this one becomes matte in a fairly flat way, a bit like having a mask on your face.

Summary - I will not use this again, if I do not feel like putting it to the test even more this summer when I got more color and can test the darker shades, but right now it is impossible as there is no shade for me. But I think it became both stylish and durable, used quite a lot of Makeup Fixing Mist and then the flat mask feeling also disappeared :)

So, I do not think there are very many of you that this one suits, but for those of you who find one in the right skin tone, are not dry at all and who like a completely matte base, you will probably like this very much!

Here you see before and after! Wrong shade and would need a little concealer in some areas, but otherwise it is very nice I think, I have used an incredibly thin layer here and massaged in the cream with my fingers.

Any of you who have tested Maybelline Fix Me Matte & Poreless? What did you think? :)

Hug!

Blue mascara

I get shocked every time I talk to people who still think it's brave with blue mascara, I've been using it for so long now, for several years, that I kind of imagined myself that it's trendy already haha.

Personally, I love blue mascara! I often wear it only on the lower lashes, but think that it is super nice on all lashes as well, especially in everyday when you do not have time to do anything other than mascara but still want something more fun than just black lashes :)

I got a press sample of IsaDora's new blue mascara "IsaDora Build-up Mascara EXTRA VOLUME 100% Waterproof" last week. It has been available in a dark blue shade before but now also comes in a more bright blue blue color. It should have been launched already but can not find the color anywhere online yet.

The mascara is waterproof and fits like a glove! Volume that it promises, I do not know if I can agree with completely, but it also says in the product description that you can apply several layers and build up length and volume, and that is kind of what saves it. I usually never apply more than one layer of mascara, but it was needed with this one. The formula feels quite wet. But the end result will be great and that's what counts :)

What do you think of blue mascara? Do you think it's nice, and would you be able to / usually have it? :)

Hug! ♥
