I have made three long posts to the eyewear store Extra Optical with make-up tips for different types of frames that you can find on their website :)
The first, for wide and marked arches, is now published!
Ten points with tips both for wide frames and in general for all glasses, as well as a step-by-step make-up you will find here!
Hope you like :)
Ziaja is a skin care brand from Poland that is extremely large and popular there, all products contain raw materials from nature and are of high quality at the same time as they are affordable.
The brand was voted the most appreciated Polish cosmetics brand in Poland in 2012 and has received several awards in other countries, including Japan and Finland.
In Sweden, there are so far only salons that sell Ziaja (though not the entire range) but the products will be available on the webshop soon is the idea (which webshop I do not know). In Stockholm, they can be found at Polenspecialisten on Ankdammsgatan 5 in Solna, a reader told me. But you can email sara@facehelsinki.fi and write where you live and you will find out the nearest dealer!
What I was going to review today are two of their shower products in the Cacao Butter series:
Shower creams Creamy Shower Soap and body play Shower Scrub.
Both make the skin feel smooth and soft even before you step out of the shower, and the scent of chocolate is mild and good and smells summery and wonderful! Fake chocolate scents can often smell slimy and a little strange, I think, but this series only has a hint of chocolate and therefore only smells fresh!
The shower cream is a large package of 500 ml, and it is really creamy and nice on the skin. Foams well and has a consistency that lasts a long time. It contains emollient cocoa butter and moisturizing D-panthenol, allergy tested and preserves the skin's pH value.
The peeling is a new favorite on my scrub list! The texture seems to be just oily, but it was not and it actually foamed even a little. Perfect amount and size of grains that scrub, and it was absolutely wonderful to use! Contains walnut shells (they are the ones that scrub), cocoa butter and and vitamin E.
Thumbs up for these I say! :)
Ann-Sofie from the blog Color It sa…
“I actually did a lot of checking on your makeup and started using more colors and got a lot more praise for my makeup, which is super fun. I have green-blue eyes and have used some purple shades that are a contrasting color to green eyes, and then my green eyes pop a lot more of it. So thanks for all the tips and inspiration. :-)
I have a question for you, my mother who is 66 years old is getting married in August this year. She should wear a blue dress because it is not her first wedding. She wants to bring up the blue in the dress, but is still afraid that it will be too much blue around the eyes. Do you have any tips to give her that I can pass on? ”
First of all, THANK YOU for your kind words! I was super happy for your comment!
I want to respond to your comment in a post as I have some makeup pictures to show :) In addition, there are probably many who should wear a blue dress at their prom, and then these tips also apply!
A down-to-earth warm make-up with a blue color click is great for a blue dress. The warmth of the make-up emphasizes the blue, while the blue color click makes the dress and make-up hang together and creates balance.
If she has a lot of eyelashes (which you often lose with age), blue mascara on only the lower lashes is very nice, even though you have black on the upper lashes. Or navy blue mascara on all lashes.
Otherwise, it is very nice with blue eyeliner, or blue eye shadow at the end of the eyelid that glitters when you blink. A blue splash of color with eye shadow along the lower lash line is also nice, or blue eyeliner along the waterline! There are many small details that can be added, a little light blue glitter in the corner of the eye? :)
I have looked up two inspirational pictures I was going to offer, excuse the photo quality and also my make-up technique, both pictures are very old - but still nice details!
Hope this was helpful, and congratulations on the marriage from me :)
Hug!
Good morning my pinglers! :)
Today it is Valborg, which is a great proof that spring is here for real!
And this time of year, I always get more compliments than usual over my colorful makeup. Most people say "I wish I would dare to use colors too!" but then it never gets off.
Today's make-up is therefore dedicated to you who want to start using colors, but who do not know where to start :)
Common problem areas:
"I'm above strong colors"
Solution - Start with shades that are not so bright, such as navy blue, khaki green and dark purple.
"I look like a clown"
Solution - Do not apply colorfully around the entire eye at once before you feel comfortable, invest in, for example, only on the eyelid and do not go up too much towards the eyebrow.
"It looks like two blackbirds"
Solution - It can be a little harder to apply colorful shadows if you compare with natural earthy colors, because color does not blend in with the skin tone in the same way. Therefore, make it easy for you in the beginning, so that you do not get uneven edges that make the make-up look like blue eyes. Invest in only one eyeshadow, and apply only on the eyelid so you do not have to worry about getting the fade looking good around the whole eye.
If you start a little easy with the tips above, you will eventually become both more skilled and more comfortable with colors and in the end you will experiment with all possible color combinations! :)
Here is a make-up that fits the details I described above:
The shadows I have used come from this 40 palette. It will be in stock again at the end of May, it is estimated!
1. Purple eye shadow on the entire eyelid.
2. Blur the edges.
3. Light eye shadow in the corner of the eye and under the brow.
4. Black eyeliner along the upper lash line, Oriflame Eye Liner Stylo (does not seem to be available for purchase anymore)
5. Black mascara on all lashes, Magnetic Lash Mascara (without the fibers)
Lips and Cheeks, Lumene Raspberry Miracle Blush Sorbet (3 Full and Flowers)
For me, it will not be a Walpurgis celebration today, but I hope that you who have fun plans have a really wonderful Wednesday! :)
Hug!
Cream blush is becoming more and more trendy in makeup, and even though I still prefer powder blush, I can not help but like the results from these wonderful products!
Cream blush blends better into the skin and gives a nice glow. If you like colorful cheeks, I definitely think you should invest in cream instead of powder, because cream becomes a little more natural even though it gives a lot of pigment.
Now I have tested Lumene's new cream blush in pin format, Raspberry Miracle Blush Sorbet, which is available in four different shades. And I can really recommend them! :)
–
The colors are matte but light-reflecting, not at all sticky (also oil-free) and are easy to apply.
Launched now in April, and costs SEK 129.
I like the shade 3 Full and Flowers which is a very pink but still soft color.
I have used it today to show you:
Cream blush is applied after foundation, before powder. I apply directly from the pin with small strokes on the cheeks. Smooth and erase the color with your fingertips. Do not take in too much when you erase the edges, then you can destroy the basic make-up underneath so that it becomes stained.
Fint va? :) It's actually the blush I have on my lips too!
And because I will certainly get the question "How is this compared to IsaDora's similar blush?" so I can try to answer that right away. Both Lumenes and IsaDora's pin rouge give a good result, but the consistency is a bit different anyway.
It is very difficult to explain, but IsaDora is more typical opaque cream while Lumene is a little more transparent which still gives a lot of color. It feels like Lumene's name on the blush "blush sorbet" does not come by chance, if IsaDora's cream rouge is soft ice cream then Lumene sorbet! Probably very difficult for you to understand, but if you try testers in the store, you will surely understand what I mean :)
Hugs are!
