DARK EYES AND LIPS

Reviews & Product Tips

Feb 15, 2015

Many people preach that it is a make-up rule that you should invest in either eyes or lips, but that is not true at all!

It is definitely a smart idea to put the most focus on just one area if you find it easy to feel overwhelmed, but there is nothing to say must have light lips if you have dark eyes and vice versa. Had it been a real rule, smoky eyes and red lips would not have been one of the most classic looks;)

It just gives more balance in the face not to have all the focus in one place.

Last Friday I had a very visible make-up on my eyes, and in the pictures I showed in the blog I had bright lips because I felt it right then. Then I changed after an hour or so and wanted darker lips instead, and painted on Dr. Hauschka's lip pencil in the shade 06 Auberige, and I enjoyed it like the fish in the water in it! :)

Surely it was nice? :) Read mine previous posts to see the look with nude lips.

Something I usually think about instead is blush, because you have a lot on both eyes, cheeks and lips, the make-up can actually go from balance to "messy".

My tip to you is in other words:
Focus on eyes and lips - a little blush
Focus on eyes or lips - more blush

Then you get a harmonious impression with a nice balance in the face no matter how you make up eyes and lips!

Hope you all have a wonderful end to the week ♥

I got home three fun perfumes a week!

They come from the French brand Parfums Hashtag, which is aimed at young people with different personalities. Funny idea I think! The three different fragrances #imaPrincess, #iloveYou and #CrazyGirl, all are EdT and are now available for purchase! :)

They cost 99 kroner, however THESE currently has a campaign and they sell for only SEK 79!

“The successful brand from France has come to Sweden! Parfums Hashtag, a completely new perfume brand with three EdTs for teenagers. The successful brand Parfums Hashtag has taken France by storm. The super popular perfume brand all young people talk about is now being launched in Sweden. Parfums Hashtag is developed for the young girl who wants a personal and unique fragrance that enhances her personality, whether she is a fashionista, trendsetter, party ping or most cares about love and friendship. The brand's three fragrances #imaPrincess, #iloveYou and #CrazyGirl represent different personalities. ”

#CrazyGirl smells fruity and exotic. I think it smells sour and healthy!

Top notes: Bergamot & black currants.
Heart notes: Blueberries & violet.
Base notes: Vanilla & musk.

#iloveYou is described as "delicately powdery floral" but according to it actually smells a bit homemade, very sweet and reminiscent of buns :)

Top notes: Bergamot & cotton candy.
Heart notes: Jasmine, freesia & praline.
Base notes: Vanilla, honey & tonka bean.

#imaPrincess smells fresh, floral and sweet, and I agree it is a little more fresh and fresh than the other scents, but still in the sweet direction.

Top notes: Tangerine & orange blossom.
Heart notes: Jasmine, iris, plum & raspberry.
Base notes: Patchouli, vanilla, praline & musk.

I probably like #CrazyGirl the most, but #imaPrincess will not be far behind :) I think everyone smells very good, however, there is no one that I personally fell for 100% but it is really just about taste and I think many can find a favorite among these!

Immediately after spraying, I think they smell very much, almost a little strong, but it gets milder quite quickly, which is good. And surely the packaging is cute? Lots of cute hashtags :)

Have any of you already smelled these?

Organic lips with Benecos

I truly love lip makeup and sometimes have to stop me from not just bringing in such products to Byher.se haha, it's more fun to apply eye shadow, but if I had to choose between them purely in terms of appearance, I would have chosen lips without a doubt!

And now I thought I would write a little more in detail about two of Beneco's organic lip products that I brought into the webshop a while ago, I have not made a post about them yet and have received requests for it :)

Here you see all the nice lipsticks, Benecos Natural Lipstick!

I was asked if they are fat or not, and to that I answer that they are fat in a very, very soft and smooth way. They are not sticky fat as well but creamier than many pins. I have probably never worn lipstick that is so smooth on the lips, it feels like it almost melts on the lip a bit (in a good way). And they contain caring and moisturizing ingredients such as jojoba oil, sunflower oil and beeswax.

The pins slide on the lips quickly and easily, smell fruity and good, and are rich in pigment and full coverage.

Available in 10 nice colors and costs SEK 79! Available for purchase here!

In this picture I have Just Red on my lips :)

Then there are also these wonderful lip glosses Benecos Natural Shiny Lipcolour! Perfect for us who like glossy lip balm that gives a little color, because these are not as glossy as a classic lip gloss, but they are glossier and more pigment-rich than lip balm, at the same time as they are as caring as lip balm! Do you follow? :)

These are super easy to carry in your purse / pocket and improve during the day, incredibly flexible!

The lip gloss contains jojoba oil, sunflower oil, beeswax and vitamin E which nourishes and protects the lips. Available in three nice colors that are semi-opaque but pigment-rich, and give a very nice natural result. They are very smooth and lovely on the lips, and smell fruity and good.

Costs SEK 89 and is available for purchase here!

Here you see the three nice shades!

In this picture I have the shade Silky Tulip:

Why buy lots of bad and boring Lypsyl when you can get such a wonderful, moisturizing, nice and organic results with these ?! :)

Now I'll sip my cup of coffee the other day, and then a make-up customer will come here for a baptism later today. It will be super fun to make her a little extra nice in honor of the day!

Have a wonderful Saturday nice you ♥

Make up over tattoos with Dermablend

Reviews & Product Tips

Dermablend is the well-known make-up brand that has such comprehensive creams that you can even apply make-up over tattoos, and I have tested their "Leg & Body Cover" which is for large areas such as a whole leg or similar.

I used this when I made up a newly made sleeve tattoo last Sunday, and therefore thought I would tell you what I think of it!

I have the shade Light which I bought from Vivamondo.se (incredibly long delivery, think it took 3 weeks before I got it home!). Det was the lightest shade they had, and it does not fit porcelain skin directly, but there should be two lighter shades as well.

The video clips I have seen with this cream show how quickly it is possible to cover over a dark tattoo, and the only thing they do is to moisturize well before, lubricate the cream with your hands and powder abundantly afterwards.

So did I and can say that after the first layer, the tattoos still shine through a lot! So then I used a make-up sponge and dabbed on instead. I let it dry in between but applied 3 coats in total, and finished with loose powder.

The end result was good enough not to be seen in the picture, neither on bad mobile pictures nor on the photographer's camera. So it was nice. But the darkest parts of the tattoo shone through in reality, and as I said, it took several layers to even get that result!

In this picture it is not at all visible that her whole forearm is full of tattoos!

In other words, it covers better than most foundations and you could put several layers without it getting cakey, but I had much higher expectations and would not use this to make off a sleeve before going to a party if you say so!

On the other hand, Dermablend has other products, cover creams and cover sticks, etc., so I think those products must be better because otherwise the brand would not have become so famous. But this cream is not something I recommend to individuals directly :)

I long for Anastasia's concealer to be launched in Sweden, it should be able to cover tattoos, I have heard. It will be exciting to test!

Do any of you know a product that is so comprehensive that it covers tattoos at once?
