Demure makeup

Jan 28, 2016

Update after the morning's post - My bus left at 06.54 this morning and due to train chaos I missed the press breakfast with Living Proof and was not in Uppsala until 11.15, so my whole morning was spent on bus / train / crowded, rainy platform and I did not get to Stockholmshållet or Uppsalahållet there for a while.

Completely unnecessary and fucking piss train you can think, but when I finally sat there on the train to Uppsala, hungry so my stomach barked when I did not eat breakfast (because I was going to press breakfast) so I could not help but thank the gods for not being more need to pee from the huge coffee thermos mug I wrapped in me on the way there ♥ The gods are with me!

How. As. Preferably. Do you want to see a nice make-up? :)

I did this look yesterday, mostly to see if my favorite matte lipstick also worked well as an eye shadow (the one I have on the underside of the eyes) and it did! :)

Lipstick, gloMinerals Suede Matte Crayon (Demure)

Bassmink:
Face primer - Paese Makeup Base (Matte)
Foundation - gloMinerals Pressed Base Foundation (Golden Light)
Powder that neutralizes red - gloMinerals Redness Relief Powder
Contouring - Pixi Book Of Beauty Contour Creator
Rouge - Pixi Book Of Beauty Blush Palette
Makeup Fixing Mist - Pixi Makeup Fixing Mist
Dehydrating powders - Paese Bamboo Silk Powder

Paint the same lipstick I have on my lips, along the lower lash line.
Black eyeliner along the upper lash line, down in the corner of the eye, and mark where you want your eyeliner wing, Paese Penliner
Fill half of the eyeliner with black
Fill the other half with white eyeshadow, and paint white eyeshadow all over the black eyeliner, Paese Kashmir eyeshadow (601)
Black eyeliner along the waterline, Paese Linea Automatic eyeliner (Black Glam)
Black mascara, Paese Adore 3D Lash Mascara

Have a little craze for eyeliner looks right now, you will surely see more of these in the near future. Hope you like it?

Now I will continue with the day and grab all the things I did not have time for. To take out the computer and work on the train by all means, but to do it on a platform or when you do not have a seat there goes my limit haha, so did not have time to get as much work done anyway as I wrote about this morning.

Now I'm at the salon anyway, have wrapped myself in a blanket and am going to eat some brunch and drink a hot cup of coffee.

Hugs are! ♥

Good budget deodorants

I'm so proud of myself now, in-country problem 3000;) I'm sitting on the train on the way to Stockholm, and first of all I realized just when I was falling asleep yesterday that I had to charge the computer to be able to work on the road. So I got out of bed to charge the computer. 1TP3 Self-discipline

And now I have been riding for an hour and a half already and still not picked up the computer, because every time I plan to work on the train, I have never included in the calculations that it is always packed with people!

Sitting packed like little herrings, picking up the computer to snap with my long, colorful nails, flipping through hundreds of selfies to various makeup posts, while drinking my morning coffee in a pink thermos mug from a straw, knowing that everyone around is so bored that they probably see me as good entertainment and pastime during the trip. Incredibly distracting haha.

But still I do it, and just a little ashamed! ;)

ANYWAY - What I really intended to write was a response to an email I received the other day, which I have received recurring questions about.

Hi Helena! I'm a student and I do not have a lot of money, and I wonder which budget deodorant you think is best? Preferably someone who is in regular grocery stores, has some 25-kronor coupons at ICA :) Want someone who both keeps the smell away and who gives a mild but good scent, preferably in the sweet / healthy direction. Very grateful for answers! ”

I think the deodorants from LdB are super good! They cost around 20 bucks, 23-24 kronor at the ICA store where I live, I think, and my favorite scents are the pink Vitalizing Sweet Pea & Silk and the blue Hydrating Aqua & Sea Pearls.

Scents
Vitalizing scents in the sweet, fruity direction and has the scent notes are fragrant, fruit, lily of the valley and pure musk.

Hydrating smells fresh and "freshly showered" and is inspired by water and summer, the scent notes are bergamot, white flowers and sandalwood.

Caring and gentle
The deodorants contain extracts from silk that moisturize and make the skin silky smooth. They have also been tested by independent institutes but very good results and can therefore be marked with Dermatologically Tested. The base of the deodorants is alcohol-free, which means that they are mild and do not sting if you use it immediately after shaving.

Results
The deodorants are also antiperspirants, which means that they both remove odors and reduce the appearance of sweat. The armpits stay fragrant for a long time, and the skin feels moisturized and healthy. The effect lasts up to 24 hours, and these deos also work well if you have to run a raggar shower;)

Other products
LdB is a skin care brand with really good products overall, I think, and there are lotions, shower creams and body mists in the same scents.

Now we are sitting still on the train with signal errors, I hope it will not be too late for the press breakfast! They do not last that long, so I get very late so I miss all the shit and have gone unnecessarily.

Although it will not be 100% unnecessarily in any case, because I pulled myself together and started working despite the circumstances haha;)

Hope you had a nice morning!

Color blonde eyebrows

Hi fine ni!

Yesterday I had an eyebrow customer with very bright eyebrows which is one of my favorite types of customers! Light eyebrows often have quite a lot of hair, although most are small hairs that you do not think about, and when you color them, it makes such an extremely big difference :)

So now I thought I would show you the result, partly to show how nice eyebrows you can get even though you have very light hair color, but also for another reason that is good for you to think about if you choose to color your eyebrows at home - and it is to put the paint in a nice shape even if you will remove more straw afterwards.

And it is simply because on a dry skin, the color wants to stick a little in the skin immediately after as well, which disappears when you wash your face 1-2 times. But if you have then only smeared on color like a large uneven gegga, the shape will look crazy if it has stained on the skin!

Nice result huh? :) On this customer, you can see that the color is a bit in the skin as well, and that is because she was very dry, and if I had not applied the color as a nice shape, the end result immediately after would not have been close to this nice , even if the picking itself has been nicely done.

Apply the paint, pulling along the sides with a dry top so that you get a nice shape. Then it is both much easier to pick a nice shape after the coloring, but you will also have a nice shape regardless of whether the color has colored on the skin or not :)

Hugs are!

Nails in pastel colors - Pastel nail polish

Nails in pastel colors - Pastel nail polish

Yesterday I showed you IsaDora's news for spring, and what I fell for most were the new nail polish IsaDora Velvet Matt Nails in six new pastel shades! So heavenly nice, gets the urge to put on shorts and sunglasses :)

Bohemian - White velvet - Blue cloud - Spring Light - Pink sugar - Vintage Blush

Nice colors huh? I have tested them all and love just about every single one!

Number of stocks
Here you see the result of two coats of paint, the shades are nice after one coat as well but more intense after two. I actually have pink gel nails underneath, which shines through a bit after two layers as well, so they are not really comprehensive but you can get different effects and variations by e.g. paint only one coat or have a white nail polish underneath first.

Application
Incredibly simple varnish to paint with, wide brush and the formula settles evenly and nicely over the nail directly.

Drying time
I first had base coat and then two fairly thick coats of nail polish, and finished with IsaDora's new novelty Quick Dry Dropper, and for having such a thick coat of varnish and painting all coats at fairly tight intervals, I think they dried very fast despite circumstances, so it was nice! but do not know how much was the Quick Dry drops merit and how much it depends on the nail polish, have to test more to be sure.

Results
These varnishes are shimmery and almost a bit in the metallic direction, at the same time as they are matte, which gives an incredibly nice result! Matte nails full of luster :) They look very velvety smooth!

The colors are bright and springy, and so reminiscent of ice cream that I want to eat them!

sustainability
I painted the nails today so can not really determine the durability, in addition, I have gel nails on almost all fingers, and then all the varnish holds very well, so it is a bit difficult to determine regardless, unfortunately. But IsaDora's nail polish usually lasts well :)

Award
These varnishes cost SEK 79 HERE

On one hand I have painted with Spring light (yellow), Blue cloud (blue) and Pink sugar (pink). Fint va? :)

And on the other hand, I have painted with White velvet (white), Vintage blush (apricot) and Bohemian (light bronze). Love, love, love!

My favorite is the hand with the more playful pastels in blue, pink and yellow:

Super nice nail polish really, recommended!

What color do you like the most? ♥
