Finest Awards look

Oh what a morning I have had, both absolutely wonderful and at the same time crazy frustrating haha.

I have now fully prepared for tonight's Finest Awards, and always when I go away I think it's at least as much fun to get ready as to go to the party itself :) So there has been no need for me right away!

But our internet does not want to work (now I blog at mami's home) so I had to start putting on make-up super early (at 7 o'clock) for lack of other things to do. Thought that the internet might get started, had a lot to work to catch up with, but it still has not done so, so I had to book a laundry room and do some such useful instead.

In addition, they do something with the drains in the apartment building (standing and sucking with a truck with a hose type) and it STINKS throughout the apartment! So I've been walking around all day thinking “Hope it does not get in the clothes! Hope it does not settle in the clothes!”

But now it's finally time to run to the bus! We are four beauty bloggers to meet up and have a drink before the gala, I, Caroline, Helen and Mathias, super cozy :)

I have taken some complete pictures of what I look like and thought of bidding on it before I go!

The theme is green and cocktail, and I have not gone all in on the theme right away, have green on makeup and nails and did not feel like having a cocktail dress either. But I feel good and that is the most important thing! :)

This super nice linen that is short in the front and far back has been sewn by my wonderfully good friend Julia Ronsten! Got it in the mail a few weeks ago ”thought it would suit you wellShe wrote, golden!

Must have black heels and an envelope bag for this too :)

Write more about the make-up and show more pictures tomorrow, now I have to run!

Kiss hug! ♥

Glittery Finest Awards nails

Good morning wonderful you!

Here I am sitting in front of the computer with a large cup of coffee and super-fixed nails :) I who usually do not have more patience than painting a color on the whole nail (preferably full coverage after a layer as well) have pimped them up with green glitter the day in honor!

Tonight it's time for the Finest Awards and the theme is green. I have nothing green at all in my outfit so will run on green nails and a green makeup instead. Hope I have time to show you the whole look before I go away :)

I have painted three thin coats of Lumene Gel Effect in the shade Lapland Halo, and then glitter in the tops from Deborah Lippmann Luxurio's Nail Color in the shade Shake your money maker. And finally Paese Diamond Hard Nail Base as topcoat!

I love the glitter from Deborah Lippmann, it contains mostly green but also some gold glitter that enlivens super nicely!

Fint va? Or what do you say? :)

Now I will work a little with the webshop and then it's time to start putting on make-up for the evening as well!

Hug, hug ♥

As a makeup nerd, I become like a child in a candy store when I have new products in front of me, I kind of get an adrenaline rush and want to try everything now now now! :)

And right now I have many new brands on g for the webshop, super fun! But as you know, I test everything myself properly before, and therefore always buy home test orders on the products, so that's why everything takes quite a long time.

Yesterday I got home a fun package but lots of new stuff from an Italian brand (some of which I at first impression have fallen for pladask!) And after about 5 minutes my hands looked like this haha:

When you can not test everything on the face at once, your hands can become makeup models! Anyone who recognize themselves?

In the picture you see everything from eyeliners, glitter, eye shadows and eyebrow pencils, wonderful!

What wish you see more in the shop? Basic make-up, shadows, pencils? :) Please come with suggestions! ♥

I was asked to do more make-up with products from Yves Rocher before my discount code YRHELENA expires on the last of March :)

Here is a look that is a wonderful spring and summer make-up with earthy eyelids, clear blue on the underside of the eyes and pink lips to it, super nice!

What do you think? Step by step description comes further down in the post. (Unfortunately the images have disappeared so there is no step by step description, only one image.)

I have used these four eye shadows from the palette Yves Rocher Quad Eyeshadow 06 brown incandescent*. It is sold out quite often, I have noticed, but it usually comes into stock quite quickly again.

The lipstick is Yves Rocher Grand Rouge Lipstick 13. Rose somptueux.

1. Dark brown eye shadow at the end of the eyelid and along the globe line.
2. Brown eye shadow in the middle of the eyelid and above the globe line.
Fade the edges,
4. Light brown eye shadow deepest on the eyelid.
5. Light shimmery eye shadow in the corner of the eye and under the brow.
6. Blue eyeliner along the waterline, Yves Rocher Waterproof Kajal (02 Bleu)
7. Black eyeliner with wing, mark secret until further notice hihi.
8. Brown mascara on the lashes and blue mascara on the lower lashes, Yves Rocher Volume Mascara* in shades 02 brown and 03 Bleu.

Brushes I have used:
Steps 1-4, Nanshy Tapered Crease Brush
Step 5, Nanshy Pencil Brush

The discount code YRHELENA thus gives you a 20% discount on the entire purchase and the glitter shadow Yves Rocher Loose Pearls in shade 05 completely free!

This is the shade I have used for the glittery effect on this make-up:

Yves Rocher 100% Intense Kajal review

Love your posts about products so you learn to find the right one in the makeup jungle :) Can you not show a little more tips and makeup with products from Yves Rocher before your discount code goes out there? Happy eyeshadows and eye pencils! But even if you have some lovely nail polish from there. Also hope for a review of the new "eye pencils" - you have already shown it with a green-blue shade. Would like to see what the others look like and if those colors cover better :) Silence for a super blog! ”

Thanks for your comment gulle you! I was actually going to do a Yves Rocher make-up today actually :) And more will come before March is over!

But I can start by reviewing the new eye pencils - Yves Rocher 100% Intense Kajal, which you got a glimpse of in this make-up I did last week!

I have received these as a press sample but unfortunately only got the green and the black shade, so I can not review or show the others. But the blue color showed MakeupbyLina.Devote.se in a super nice make-up the other day that I think you should look at, and she has almost only used make-up from Yves Rocher in that look :)

Yves Rocher 100% Intense Kajal are Limited Edition pens in 6 different shades. They contain natural oils and waxes that give a creamy texture and care for the sensitive skin around the eyes.

It was a bit of a shame that I did not get them all, because the green and the black are very different from each other, I think, so it is difficult to give a crystal clear review. But I have googled around on some pictures from other beauty blogs, and it looks like most of the other pens are more like the black in their properties.

The black shade 00 Black Carbone is incredibly rich in pigment and carbon black! The texture is creamy but still firm, it adheres well to both the skin and the waterline and is easy to fade out for a sooty look. I like it!

It does not dry after a while but is still a little creamy, but you can easily dab a little black eye shadow to fix it so it lasts even longer.

Along the waterline, however, it is great that it is creamy, because a dry product absorbs more moisture from the eye and therefore releases more easily. This one lasts well even along the waterline, not because it is waterproof but thanks to the creamy texture. I have not tested it hard from morning to night yet, but it definitely lasts for several hours anyway, and I have very teary eyes!

The green shade 02 Vert de Cobalt is a super nice jade green shade! I love jade green, a mix between mint green, turquoise and khaki green type, so I was very happy when I saw how nice the color is!

However, the consistency of this is even more creamy, which makes it a little more difficult to work with, it becomes very nice and lasts well once you have finished the make-up, but you have to work quite a lot to get a nice fade (if you just do not blur it a little along the lash line) and along the waterline it did not want to attach at all!

If you look at my make-up that I linked at the top of the post, the black shade is not as carbon black along the waterline as it actually is, and that is because I tried to apply the green there first but was not at all satisfied so I drove over with the black directly only (but might have dried the line with a tops first). So, if you are looking for a green shade to the waterline then so be it Yves Rocher's ordinary waterproof eyeliner pencils much better!

So this green does not get as good points as the black, but the color is incredibly nice so I will certainly use it in the future but only for certain parts of the look!

But as I said, I have checked out some other pictures and reviews, and the other pens look as pigment-rich as the black one, except for the Vert de cobalt and Rose India which are a little too creamy to stick along the waterline.

The shade Terre de sienne is, on the other hand, an incredibly pigment-rich and good-looking orange color that gave me a desire to have after reading Thestylingdutchman.blogspot.se, check out her photos! I have to have it!

Blue Indigo, Rose India, Green Cobalt, Seine Ground, 00 Black Carbon and Gold Leaf.

Conclusion: Really fun pencils to have in your make-up bag! However, the properties differ somewhat from each other depending on the shade, so whether they are good or not depends on what you are going to use them for. Blue Indigo, Terre de sienne, 00 Noir Carbone and Feuille d'or work both to the waterline and around the eye, but Rose India and Vert de cobalt you should not buy if you want them along the waterline, but they are nice around the eye!

The pens cost SEK 119, and you enter YRHELENA at the checkout on Yvesrocher.se you get both 20% discount and Yves Rocher Loose Pearls in shade 05 on the purchase!

Hug! ♥
