Powernap and tired laughter

Last Wednesday night I only slept 4 anxious hours (have problems sleeping alone and Miska is fishing for a few days) and I had a lot of customers at Creative Makeup yesterday. I did not sit down for a second, and suddenly deeply regretted that I had promised my friend Frida that we would go to Öregrund the following evening.

But I was a little lucky because my mother was in Uppsala so I could hitchhike with her home. She saw how tired I was and ordered me to take a power nap in the car, and when I woke up again we were in Gimo, but not close to home:
I - Where are we going?
Mom - Nowhere, I've been driving around, around, around in Gimo for a long time so you could finish sleeping. So did I when you were a baby too!

Have you heard anything sweeter? :) Nice mom ♥

It all ended pretty well anyway, we had a fun but quiet evening in Öregrund and I amused the whole bus with my tired tires on the way home at 4 this morning haha. At first I did not understand that everyone was laughing at me, until the guy in the front seat turned around and said "please can you not laugh again?" Lol.

Answer yes, my laughter is quite special when I get spontaneous laughter attacks. You may hear it in the podcast sometime if you are lucky;)

Anyway, that's me actually would say (Helena babbler Rönnblad) is that now I will go to my mother and sew up a dress, tomorrow morning I have a bridal make-up very early (in the apartment I have to have time to clean too) and then I am a babysitter the rest of Saturday. And then on Sunday, Miska and I will go out and spend time with my dad.

In other words - if you write emails and comments, I will not have time to answer them until Monday, because the remaining hours of the weekend will only be spent on beauty sleep, because otherwise these days will make me a barn owl;)

So you know! Hugs are ♥

Pride makeup

I know that I'm late posting a post about pride now, but I had freshly tattooed and flaky lips during the pride week, so even though I really wanted to, I thought that a nice make-up would still not be so nice with scab lips; )

But huuur you do not get inspired! Instagram was my best friend during Pride Week, so much color and love ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And I actually do not think it's ever the wrong time to pay attention to this, and with that said - here comes a real pride makeup a la Helena!

I was going to film the make-up, but then I got a nice visit from Nicolin and Kalle who spontaneously went from Stockholm and visited me, so I put on my make-up "a little fast" instead. But it was worth it, oh what I wish we lived closer ♥

In other words, I have no step-by-step on this or similar, but what I was going to ask you is how much do you appreciate movies on such a little more fun make-up? Do you mainly want to see useful neutral looks, or do you think like me that it is super fun with lots of color and stuff even though you may not put on so much make-up so often? :)

Love when you come with feedback, incredibly grateful for it!

Yves Rocher Exfoliating Shower Gel

Last year, Yves Rocher launched the shower series "Exfoliating Shower Gel" which then came in four different variants, and this summer the series received two more additions - the scents lemon & basil, and apple & star anise, and these two delicacies I got a press sample of this spring and thought to show you today :)

The shower creams contain 100% natural scrub grains, which together give a very mild exfoliating effect and can therefore be used daily.

Yves Rocher Exfoliating Shower Gel Lemon Basil* is the yellow shower gel and it smells, just like you hear in the name, lemon and basil. I think you feel it in the scent, sour and fresh. The scent is not a wow feeling to me, but I like it! The scrub grains in this are coconut and apricot kernel.

Yves Rocher Exfoliating Shower Gel Apple Star Anise* has the same scent as the other Yves Rocher news I blogged before, love it! So light, sweet and fresh scent of apple and star anise, yummy :) The scrub grains in this are from apricot kernel and kiwi.

I really like these products, but the scrubbing effect is so mild that I would rather call the product just shower gel, because the scrubbing effect is barely felt. The large kiwi cores in the green are too large and too few to scrub with, you get about one core per decimeter on the body. And the small scrubs in both are so small and clumsy that they hardly make any difference at all.

But the shower gel itself is incredibly nice! They are creamy and smooth, and smell both mild but incredibly good, and they foam just right. The skin feels super smooth afterwards!

The shower gel is a limited edition, contains 200 ml and costs SEK 79.

Summary - A wonderful, natural shower gel that feels super good for the skin and makes the whole bathroom smell good. But you who buy it for its peeling effect will be disappointed, but as a regular shower gel it gets two thumbs up, I love them!

Great to give as a gift too :)

Tip! As I have said for the third time now, I love the scent of apple and star anise that several of Yves Rocher's news smell. And therefore I have to tell you that you can also buy a mini-set with these products! Both the scent mist (read my post here), the shower gel (read my post here) and the shower peeling, for a total of SEK 159.

Or a mini-set, maybe I should not call it, it is only the shower gel that is smaller (100 ml), the fragrance mist and the peeling are the same size as the original packaging. You can buy the set here* :)

Hugs are ♥
