My Go-To Makeup while Moving

As I said in my last post, I'm back!

And I also mentioned that I'm moving back to my mum's since my (now ex)boyfriend broke up, which means mh makeup has been packed down, so I have a little makeup tray with makeup for everday, which I will now show you, haha!

Here you can see it all! Lipsticks, eyeshadows, brushes and everything else!

Here are my makeup items. My ELF Custom Eyes palette, DIY lipstick palette, 3CE Lip Pigments, ELF blush in Peachy Keen, Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB Cream, ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer in Tone Adjusting Green, Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer, L'oreal Matte Morphose Foundation, IsaDora Mascara, Oriflame Mascara and the H&M Liquid Eyeliner.

¨

Here's my ELF palette! I have 14 shades!

Ivory - Pink Ice - Truly Pink - Wisteria - Periwinkle

Golden Glow - Wheat - Mocha - Moondust - Drift Wood

Sage - Navy - Aubergine - Dusk

Mocha is a lot redder than it seems in the picture, and Moondust is darker. The blitz doesn't do them justice at all.

Then there's my little DIY Lipstick Palette with 12 lipsticks. Again, the colors aren't completely accurate, but it's close on most of the colors. You can see the numbers, so I'll list the shades with numbers!

1. NK - Very Berry, 2. Color Works - Ebony, 3. Oriflame - Wine, 4. MNY - 809A,

5. Viva la Diva - Hot Tulip (More pink and darker), 6. Viva la Diva - Vampire Red (a true red IRL)

7. Miners - Baby Pink, 8. Miners - Cinnamon, 9. S.he Makeup - Just Peachy, 10. NK - Amethyst

11. NK -Berry Plum, 12. Viva la Diva - Cream Coral

As you can see there's a good mix, and I'm going to put all of my lipsticks in these palettes. I got this on eBay for $.99 and a full lipsticks fills up one container, so it's the perfect size and really compact for 12 lipsticks! Love it!

Sigma E50, Sigma F25, Joursna (no name), Sigma E25, ELF Eyeshadow Brush

and then two random lipbrushes from a eBay brush set !

So that's the makeup I'm living with right now! Hopefully I'll have my full stash soon hehe. I just have to get in order, I hate moving and cleaning and ugh! Wish me luck, hah!

I'll see you soon :*

My Vacation-Palette

On the 17th of July I'm going to Gran Canaria, Spain, and since it's still a month, and I can't wait to go I decided to make the vacation-palette I have had in mind.

For my palette I've used this MAC 15 Pro Palette which I've taken the separator out of so I can fit whatever I want in there.

On the inside I've but blushes, eyeshadows and my powder so I have all my powder-products in the same place. And if you were wondering, I'll have this in my carry-on when we board the plane since I don't want any of this to shatter.

The Powder I'm bringing is by Kubiss Cosmetics, and it's their Face Powder in the shade 1 Translucent. As you can see that thing is huge with 17grams of product!

These eyeshadows are all by ArtDeco, and they are pre-magnetized which is great!

L-R are the colors:

527, 235, 84, 49, 638 and 258.

These eyeshadows are really soft and pigmented, and there's a good variety of colors.

Then I have some more neutral shades, like a matte black and a light matte brown.

L-R, the colors are:

Oriflame Pure Colour Duo Eyeshadow - Harvest Browns 3286

Matte Black from the IsaDora Smokey Eyes Palette

Matte Brown from the IsaDora Matte Chocolates Palette

The white shimmery eyeshadow is from Max Factor, but I don't have the name.

Then I'm bringing this ELF Brightning Eye Color Quad in Drama which has all the colors I need for a nice smokey-eye.

For my blushes I'm bringing these which, again, are my ArtDeco. The top shade is a matte peachy-shade (16) and the other is a light rosy color with a teeny bit of shimmer (24). As the eyeshadows, these have magnets on the bottom. The blushes are alot more pigmented than they seem in the swatches, too!

That was my Vacation-Palette, guys! I'll also do posts on the brushes I'm bringing and the other makeup such as foundation and stuff. I hope you liked this post, and if you did, you can like it on facebook at the top, or follow my blog =) 

DIY Bracelets + Bracelet Holder!

I have ordered quite a few different styles of beads on eBay.. If you'd like to know the price and seller, you can check out my eBay hauls: #1 #2 #3.

Because of that I've been really into making bracelets, and here are the five I've made so far:

For this bracelet I've used Skull Beads, 3mm silver ball beads, 8mm rondelle beads with black rhinestones and 5mm silver round beads.

Here I've used 4x6mm rondelle crystal beads and 3mm silver round beads.

This bracelet is made of 5mm silver round beads and tibetan skull charm beads.

Here I've used 8mm rondelle beads with black rhinestones, 5mm silver round beads and Howlite Skull Beads.

For this last one I've used 2.4mm gold round beads and the black 4x6 rondelle crystal beads.

These are the two simpler bracelets I've made.

I know you can't see that well, but here are my skull bracelets.

Skulls have been everywhere lately, and buying bracelets with skulls on them are so extremely expensive, so I just decided to make my own!

Which bracelet was your favorite? =)

If you'd like an awesome DIY-way to store all of your new bracelets, why don't you just make the Bracelet Holder in the video below?

DIY Cream Blush

I told you guys I would show you how to make your own cream blush, and this is how I do it. 

 You need:

A face primer, I'm using a sample of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting touch I had laying around, and also a spatula if your primer is in a jar. Then you'll need a jar to keep your new cream blush in, an eyeshadow, blush or a lipstick in a colour you like and a bobby pin or something similar to mix it with.

Then you just take some primer and blush in a jar and mix it around. If you want a lot of pigmentation use a lot of blush and less primer and vice versa if you'd like a sheer blush.
I wanted mine pretty pigmented, and I added more blush after the picture below was taken.

Here are the watches of the blushes.

The swatch on the left is the cream and the swatch on the right is the original powder blush.

As you can tell the cream is blended and the powder is not.

Here I am, wearing the blush on my left cheek with nothing on my right cheek, so you can tell it gives a verry subtle pretty pink shade. At least mine did, since I chose a pink blush.

I am wearing foundation underneath, and it was not set with a powder before I applied the cream blusher.

You can also use it on your lips, but it depends on the primer you used if it will work or not. Here I applied a thin layer and you can see it gives my lips a pink tint, and it actually looked very natural.

OPTION:
If you wanted to use a lipstick instead of an eyeshadow or a blush you can either pick take the bullet out of the container and cut from the bottom so you can use it as a regular lipstick later or scrape out a piece of a depotted lipstick or bullet. Then the rest is basicly the same, just keep in mind that it will take a little longer to mix the lipstick with the base. I have done it though, I used an orange lipstick and it will be perfect for summer.

Another thing is if you have a very chalky, or unpigmented (?) blush then turning it into a cream will make it easier to work with, and it will also make it seem more pigemented if you use a lot of blush with less primer.

And that was it for this time!
Thank you for reading, and I hope you will try this out, because it's awesome!

Magazine Wallets

I was bored today.... Again... So I decided to make a magazine wallet! I showed it on my youtube-channel and got requested to do a tutorial, so obviously, I made another one. And now I have two awesome, unique wallets made out of magazine paper.

I wanted to show you guys too, so here are some pictures of them.

This is the front of the first one I made. The picture was on the back of the magazine cover, and it's an add for a mascara.

Here is the inside. Yuo can see the push-button or what ever they're called on the sides and on the opposite site of the cards there's room for paper-bills.

Here's a close-up of the card-site.

Here's the front of the one I made for the tutorial. Obviously, you can tell alot better that this is made out of a magazine than the first one I made, but that's the charm, right?

Here's the inside again, also with cards on one side and room for money on the oppsite.

And finally a close-up of the card-part. 

So that was it, there will be a tutorial on how to make these up tomorrow on my channel if you want to check that out, and I'll see you guys later!
