Hello to you wonderful you! Did you have a good end to the year yesterday, and a good start to 2015? :)

I had it! Annika and I did New Year's make-up at Creative Make Up and I had 5 customers who looked super beautiful before the evening, so much fun! One of the customers was a mother with 8 children (!) Who had a babysitter and would hit the big time with a hotel night with her husband, wonderful to hear and you could see how good-looking she felt when we were done!

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the New Year's make-up (I was asked to show before and after pictures from the day) because I never dare take out the camera and ask if I can publish pictures in the blog when I make up private individuals, because I feel so unprofessional then on something way. But here is at least a picture of my wonderfully nice workplace where I stood and put on make-up:

Fin salong va? Annika has had such a great time at Creative Make Up since they changed venues this summer!

When I got home, the plan was shrimp sandwiches and bubbly together with Miska, but ICA closed so early that there were no shrimp sandwiches. Instead we ate macaroni with lentils, corn and pesto - from the same plate haha. Fancy or what;)

And when both were full and satisfied, we sat together at the kitchen table with lit candles and shared a bottle of bubbly, in front of all the rockets that people jump-started with right outside the window. Really super cozy to just sit and talk, both about big and small, and of course also about plans and dreams for 2015. Wonderful! ♥

However, I had not slept well at all the night before (drank coffee too late and could not sleep) so I was so drowsy tired in the evening and about 10 minutes after twelve o'clock we went to bed haha.

Hope you are as happy with the end of the year and the beginning of 2015 as I am, regardless of whether you had big or small plans!

 Hug hug!

Just in time for the new year, Byher.se has received a new skin care brand - Zoya Goes Pretty specializing in body butters with 100% natural ingredients that are also 100% organic!

What is a body butter?
A body butter is, unlike a lotion, a little fatter and more intense for different problem areas. At creativemakeup.se there are now nine body butters from Zoya Goes Pretty with different scents and properties. These butters are not just for the body, but can also be used on the lips and face.

A body butter is absolutely perfect now in the winter as many of us are very dry, and this winter I know that many are drier than usual as well, the air must be unusually dry this year or whatever it may be.

About Zoya Goes Pretty Body Butter
All body butters are 100% organic and unrefined. The products contain a maximum of two ingredients, some only one, which I think is great because the fewer ingredients, the less risk that the product contains something that you can react to! They are not diluted in any way, not even with water, moreover, the vegetable oils are melted together during 40 degrees - these two details result in body butters that provide maximum nutrition for the skin, and it is also noticeable on the consistency which is quite firm, but when you take a click in the hand, it melts and becomes soft on the skin. The company Zoya Goes Pretty is from Bulgaria.

The packaging is sweet jars with a content of 100 grams!

Ingredients
Eight of these body butters contain organic shea butter from Ghana. Shea butter is very rich in vitamins (A, E, F), it nourishes, moisturizes, softens the skin, accelerates skin healing and counteracts various skin conditions such as pigment spots and wrinkles. In addition, I think shea butter smells really good! :)

The only butter that does not contain shea butter is Cocoa Butter which is purely pure, organic cocoa butter from Peru! There is also a body butter which is a mixture of shea butter and cocoa butter.

The ingredients come from:
- organic rosehip, lavender & rose oil from Bulgaria
- organic, unrefined shea butter from Ghana
- organic cocoa butter from Peru
- organic argan oil from Morocco

Caco Butter (pure cocoa butter)
Characteristics - Helps reduce stretch marks and make scars less visible. The cocoa butter is slightly hard at room temperature, so take a small piece and let it melt in your hands. The chocolate smell is so good that you want to eat the whole jar!

Shea Butter (pure shea butter)
Characteristics – Soothes, nourishes, softens and smoothes the skin. Accelerates skin healing and counteracts various skin conditions such as beauty spots and wrinkles. An abundant moisturizer for dry skin that increases skin elasticity and suppleness. Shea butter has a firm consistency at room temperature and melts in contact with the skin. Absorbed well and the smallest click gives maximum moisture!

Shea & Roseship Butter (shea butter + rosehip oil)

It helps reduce small lines and wrinkles and counteracts scarring and pigmentation. Together, shea butter and rosehip oil improve the skin's moisture level and restore the soft feeling in dehydrated skin.

Shea & Rose Butter (shea butter + rose oil)
Characteristics - The fragrant roses bloom in May and a few drops are enough to feel the healing power of rose oil. Rose oil relieves dry and inflamed skin and is beneficial for ruptured blood vessels. Helps to enliven the mind and has a calming effect on the skin. The Bulgarian rose oil not only has an irresistible scent - it is also a real skin elixir!
Ideal for - Dry, mature, and inflamed skin. Works well as an anti-age cream, good both in winter and after sunbathing.

Shea & Cacao Butter (shea butter + cocoa butter)
Characteristics - Helps smooth out stretch marks and is a naturally rich moisturizer that keeps the skin healthy and supple. This blend combines the healthy effects of African shea butter and Peruvian cocoa butter. The fragrance mixture between shea butter and cocoa butter is reminiscent of white chocolate!

Shea & Seabuckthorn Butter (shea butter + sea buckthorn oil)
Characteristics - Antioxidant-rich sea buckthorn oil with the nutritious omega fatty acids has a positive effect on the skin's ability to heal itself. Together with the unrefined shea butter, the skin's structure is improved and skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, burns and wounds are relieved. A natural blend for softer and healthier skin.
Ideal for - Dry, mature and sagging skin. Is excellent for small wounds, burns and after sunbathing.

Shea & Argan Butter (shea butter + argan oil)
Characteristics - Relieves sensitive and itchy areas, penetrates easily into the skin and is very suitable for sunbathing. Argan oil, also known as Moroccan gold, is well known for its amazing properties and its positive effect on the skin. Argan oil is unusually rich in vitamin E and omega fatty acids, which slows down the aging of the skin and restores the natural moisture balance.
Ideal for - Dry and mature skin and areas that itch.

Shea & Coconut Butter (shea butter and coconut oil)
Characteristics - Promotes skin pigmentation and contributes to a faster and healthier tan. Has a calming effect on dry, sensitive and irritated skin. Excellent also for body massage. Pure coconut oil with a sweet tropical scent contains the highest content of saturated fatty acids - the best moisturizers for the skin. A fragrant mixture that moisturizes and softens from head to toe.
Ideal for - Dry and stressed skin. Not recommended for oily and acne prone skin

Shea & Lavender Butter (shea butter + lavender oil)
Characteristics -  Relieves irritated and inflamed skin. De-stressing lavender oil together with caring shea butter makes the product soothing to both body and soul. Pure Bulgarian lavender oil soothes the skin and counteracts irritations. Body butter with shea butter and lavender oil softens the skin wonderfully and gives a good relaxing feeling. Suitable for massage as well as for lubricating dry skin.
Ideal for - All skin types that need moisture and nutrition.

My personal favorites are Cocoa Butter, Shea & Rose Butter and Shea & Lavender Butter, they smell so wonderfully good :)

The prices vary a bit depending on the content of the different variants, but they cost between 129 and 199 kronor!

Two thumbs up :)
