Video - First impression

Hello!

I have made my first "first impression film" where you test a product for the first time while filming it. I think such films are so much fun to watch, because you easily forget what you thought, believed and thought the very first time you tested something. Then it does not have to mean that you think the same thing after several uses, but you get a good overview of the product, I think.

First out is Pür Minerals foundation novelty which will be launched in September - Air Perfection CC Cushion Foundation which is a foundation in sponge form.

Exciting huh? I was quite skeptical at first, but look at the movie and you will see if I was pleasantly surprised or if the product was as I thought :)

(I forgot what settings I started filming with, and now I do not get it as well again… Anyone have tips on how I can change the settings in the camera to get a better picture?)

Pixi Lid & Line Smokey Olive

This make-up is completely made with the multi-product Pixi Lid & Line which contains both eyeliner, eye shadow and eraser mojäng, so simple and so nice!

I have used the shade Smokey Olive which is an olive green and glittery color that is incredibly nice for a smokey eye look that is intense without getting hard.

And do you know what the best thing is? I have also recorded a video that will be coming soon, where I talk and show properly how I use the Lid & Line pen! And I do the same principle with all the shades, so that video is great for you whether you are thinking of a light or dark shade.

But here are some pictures to start with :)

Reason - Pixi Eye Bright Primer
Eyeshadow & eyeliner - Pixi Lid & Line Smokey Olive

Lumene Arctic Sun Highlighter

Just in time for the summer, Lumene launched its summer news, which is only sold now during the summer. The collection is called "Artic Sun Collection 2015" and consists of a highlighter powder (which I was going to show you today) as well as a lustrous bronzing cream and a gel effect nail polish with a rosé-bronze tone. Wonderful products!

I have wanted to blog about them for a super long time but managed to neglect them all in our mini-small apartment, how now it is even possible. Got press samples of these several weeks ago. But a few days ago I finally found them in a bag that I was absolutely sure contained something completely different haha.

So now I have tested and I will show you the bronzed highlighter powder "Lumene Arctic Sun Highlighter", which I fell for on first use :)

The powder consists of two different shades, the light should be completely matte, it says in the description, but I think it is a bit lustrous anyway, but that is just a plus on my part. The darker one is full of gold shimmer, it is super small grains so it does not look glittery at all, but the skin gets a nice golden bronze luster that is just as nice!

Here you see the two shades:

When I use the highlighter, I sweep with a powder brush over the entire can, and then apply in the high parts of the face. Then the light and the golden are mixed and give a discreet and nice luster with a mild golden tone. Super nice even in the cleavage and on the arms. And when I have done that, I take a smaller brush and dab more in the gold color, and take a little extra on the cheeks where I want a more bronze effect.

If you have more burn / darker skin tone than me, you can take the light color on the high parts of the face for a more shaping effect, but for me the light color is not light enough, it does not make much difference on that front.

And I can generally imagine that you with darker skin tone will like this product even more than me, I think it is wonderful, so can only imagine how nice it will be on you who have more golden brown in the skin to emphasize :)

How nice is not this pattern in the box? Loooove ♥

I can not find the collection online, but they are certainly available at all regular retailers for Lumene, Kicks, Åhléns, etc. This box contains 9 grams and costs SEK 129.

Two thumbs up I say, and I long until I get more tan, then I will overconsume this highlighter on the whole body :)

Hugs are!

Hot summer makeup

Yesterday I was hungry for yellow, so summery and nice! So I pulled out two yellow eyeshadows and let them inspire me. Hope you get inspired too :)

Matte neon yellow eye shadow, Paese Kashmir NEO Eyeshadow (662)
Shimmery light yellow eye shadow in the corner of the eye, Paese Opal Eyeshadow (Hot Summer)
Brown eye shadow at the end of the eyelid, along the globe line and along the lower lash line, Paese Opal Eyeshadow (Hot Summer)
Black eyeliner along the upper lash line, Palina Drama Queen Perfect Liner Black.
Black mascara on all lashes, Paese Adore 3D Lash Mascara.

The nice orange-red lipstick is Paese Lipstick in shade 8 :)

So nice to have it colorful only on the inner part of the eye, and then a more earthy shade all around. Then the whole becomes soft and down to earth, even though you brighten it up with a bright color :)

Hugs are! ♥
