Hi on are fine nine!

I'm a little behind with today's make-up because I have been filming make-up videos all morning! We'll see, everyone may not be good enough to publish, but someone will come up as soon as I have time to go through them :)

I have only filmed small tips, but here is today's make - up as I did when all the filming was done! I was eager to do a colorful party make-up in the tropical color combination yellow, turquoise and blue, and so it was :)

What do you think?

The colorful shades come from this 180 palette, but the white and the black are Paese Kashmir Eyeshadow in shades 601 and 602.

Turquoise green eye shadow innermost on the eyelid and along the globe line.
Yellow eye shadow on the rest of the eyelid.
Apply black eye shadow deep on the eyelid and along the globe line, but not on all the green.
Blue eye shadow along the lower lash line.
White eye shadow in the corner of the eye and a little on the yellow in the middle of the eyelid, as well as under the eyeliner.
Black eyeliner with wing, Paese Penliner.
Black eyeliner along the waterline, Paese Linea Automatic Eyeliner (Black Glam)
Black mascara on all lashes, Magnetic Lash Mascara.

The lipstick is Paese Lipstick with argan oil in shade 16.

Hope you have a good start to this new wonderful week! :)

Hug! ♥

Infinatura Cura Oil

I got two questions about the oil from Infinatura which I wrote about last Saturday, so I thought I would answer them now and give you a little closer pictures of the oil as well :)

click here to get to the previous post which is crammed with information!

One question was how the oil smells! The only descriptive words I can think of are mild and fresh. There are no added fragrances, but the aroma of the oil is natural from the ingredient, and it is geranium, bergamot and camellia that smell the most. But as I said, it is extremely mild.

The second question is whether it contains heat protection, but it does not. The only ingredients are eight different beneficial oils that care for both skin and hair, but there is nothing added to protect against styling tools, but you should supplement with that.

But it is also not something I miss in the product, because heat protection should be used abundantly throughout the hair, but a hair oil is recommended mainly in the lengths and people who have easy to get oily hair should be careful about applying hair oil too close to the roots.

Properties of the oil:
♥ Absorbed by the skin as fast as water, leaving it supple and moisturized.
♥ Contains monounsaturated essential fatty acids, including Omega-9 to rebuild the structure.
♥ Contains vitamins A, B, and E antioxidants, as well as Phytosqualane.
♥ Contains Squalene, a natural component of the human waist. With age, the lack of squalene causes dry skin, premature aging and wrinkles.
♥ Contains Camellia oil, which is the phytosqualene of the plant world, Adds, protects, nourishes and moisturizes.
♥ Protects skin, hair and nails from harmful UV and damage from the environment.
♥ Protects against age spots, freckles and excessive pigmentation.
♥ Prevents crow's feet around the eyes.
♥ Reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
♥ Treats problems such as eczema and psoriasis.
♥ Relieves sunburn, itchy skin. Strengthens nails, more or less removes peeling and wear.

Here you see the consistency of the oil which is incredibly light even though it consists of 100% oil. I have not tested a single oil that goes in like that unbelievable fast in the skin!

And not an oil that is so thick and good in the hair, I usually have several pumps with oil for my whole hair, but with this I have a maximum of two for the whole hair and that is enough no matter what. In addition, it is nice not to have to wash your hands after, now you can lubricate yourself with what is left in the palms as well :)

The oil costs SEK 399 and is available at Byher.se!

Wash makeup brushes

I have written posts about how to wash your makeup brushes before, but there are often questions about it so I thought I would write a new post about it now! :)

Also read my recent post about makeup brushes: Makeup brushes - Choose the right brushes for makeup!

How often should you wash your make-up brushes?
Brushes for cream products - I know that most people are careless with this, with makeup brushes used for creamy products such as liquid foundation and the like, they should be washed after each use! Bacteria love to use and moist makeup brushes, and even if you close your eyes to the bacteria, dirty brushes will also affect the result on your makeup as they are not as soft and nice anymore.

Brushes for dry products - Eye shadow brushes and things that are used for powder do not need to be exactly as careful, even though the best thing is of course to wash as often as possible. At least once a week, I think you should clean them!

Lazy? - A tip for you who are both lazy and hygienic - invest in several brushes instead, then you can put the dirty ones on top and take a new one every day, and then just wash them all at the same time. So I do :) I also use a cleaner that you can use to quickly wash the brushes between the thorough cleanings, and it is Laura Mercier Brush Cleanser* which both removes makeup and kills bacteria.

How do I clean in the best way?
Detergent - I only use makeup brushes in synthetic hair, and they are washed with ordinary detergent. Brushes with real hair should be treated like normal hair, with shampoo, wrapping and conditioner, but the synthetic is kind of plastic so they will never dry out or the like.

Cleaning - Wash with lukewarm water, preferably do not let the brushes soak before. Massage the brush against the palm (gently!) And rinse under the tap, repeat until you see that the foam is completely white and the brush is clean. It may be required a few times with some brushes.

Be careful with the straws, especially if you have brushes with real hair, if you rub on them too much the top can come off and then the brush is not as soft anymore! In addition, they can get messy and ugly if you are not careful, and you do not want that :)

Tips for you who wash many at the same time - I usually pour a bowl of water and detergent, then I dip the brush in the bowl, then it does not use unnecessarily much detergent.

Hard-washed brushes - If a make-up brush is difficult to get clean, for example mascara and lip make-up can be difficult, then it makes it easier to use a tiny bit of makeup remover and it comes off super easily! I use my eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup, works gallantly.

How to dry the brushes?
Press off excess water with your fingers, straighten the straws so that they do not lie messy (and do this while the brush is leaning with the straws down) and then let the brushes dry lying down! If you dry them standing, there is a great risk that the water will run down into the shaft and dissolve the glue.

If you do not have so many brushes, it can be good to dry them so that the straws do not touch anything at all, by putting them on e.g. the table edge with the straws on the outside.

Then just wait! It takes about a day to get the brushes dry, but some dry faster.

Do you have any questions, or maybe even your own tips, then just shout out :)

Light eye makeup (Step by step)

Natural / Mild makeups

In today's natural make-up, I have shown you a simple trick on how to do a very light eye makeup without it looking unnaturally bright.

To use only a light eye shadow can sometimes feel a little flat, and therefore not many people enjoy it. But if you, as I have done in this make-up, first light up with a light shadow on the entire eyelid, and then light up only certain parts with an even lighter shadow, then you get more shape on the whole thing :)

Summery and nice with pink lips to huh? :)

The lipstick is Paese Lipstick with argan oil in shade 2.

1. Light eye shadow on the entire eyelid, the corner of the eye and the lower lash line, Yves Rocher Cream Eyeshadow 01 Nude
2. White eye shadow in the middle of the eyelid, in the corner of the eye and under the brow, Yag mineral Eyeshadow (Star White)
3. Brown fringe marking with eye shadow, Paese Kashmir Eyeshadow (604)
4. Brown mascara on all lashes, Dr. Hauschka Mascara (Brown)

The light shade I have founded with is a waterproof cream eye shadow from Yves Rocher that gives a super fine glow! Great to have completely alone too.

Maternity! ♥

Good morning fine ni!

Today it is not as nice spring weather outside as we have been spoiled with earlier this week, but as I usually say - Even on a bad day, there's always lipstick! Unlike other makeup, lipstick is the fastest and easiest way to add a little extra color to life :)

In these pictures I have Paese Maniesto Liquid Lipstick in shades 910, 904, 907 & 903.

However, I myself have not put on make-up yet, but sit and cuddle in the morning at my mother's house! As usual on the weekend, Miska and I work / cozy at home in my mother's house and sleep in my old room - with glossy black walls haha, dark and cozy :)

Now I have just refilled my second coffee cup and am sitting in front of a freshly lit fire and blogging with my cat Viktoria in my lap. Can you have a much better morning? Next to me sits Miska and studies Spanish, which he has decided to learn, good!

How has your Sunday morning been? ♥
