July Empties!

Here are the empties I had emptied during the two first weeks of July! Quite happy with the amount for just two weeks, and I've really come to love finishing items!

This month I finished

Patons Nail Polish Remover

My go-to nailpolish! It's really cheap and it's the best one I've tried!

Professional Touch Salon Hairspray

Really impressed I finished I hairspray, because I don't really use hairspray. Anyways, it does the job and again; it's cheap!

Dermica Intimvask

Does the job and it was on sale. If it was on sale again I would buy it because I don't like buying stuffat half price!

Clearasil Skin Perfecting Wash

The formula of this one is kind of strange, it's like a lotion. But however, it didn't break me out, but it didn't really heal my acne either as it claims to do.

H&M Silk Smooth Foundation - 10. Pastel Beige

Love the formula, but the shade is way to dark even though it's the lightest shade avaliable.

Kiss Mineral Smoothie Base Coat

I bought a bunch of these when they were like 90% off or something and I think this is the 2nd or 3rd I finished. It's an okay base coat, but it doesn't protect my nails from stains as much as I wish.

Max Factor Vibrant Curve Effect Lipgloss - Majeste

This was okay, but I probably wouldn't repurchase.

Make Up Factory Shimmer Liquid Eyeliner - 9

Very pretty but it stains badly... No repurchoso...

ELF Nail Polish - Clear

I used this as a top coat, but it's not a top coat, it's just a nailpolish that is clear. It just didn't dry quickly enough for me...

H&M Nail Polish - Paradies Pink (Yes, really, Paradies)

This was really great, I love H&M's nailpolishes!

H&M Cuticle and Nail Cream - White Blossom

Meh, nothing special, so I just used it as a hand cream instead.

Etude House Juicy Pop Tube

This is really lovely! The formula is really smooth but I'd like it to be a little more pigmented. I might get this again though!

Viva la Diva On Stage Mascara - Electric Blue Volume

I didn't really use this too much. I did get it for the blue color, but it didn't look as blue as I'd like on my lashes. It was pretty though, but I don't think I'd get it again.

SoftStyles Ansiktsservietter (Facial Cleansing Cloths)

These I've gotten many times, and I will continue to repurchase them...

Thank you so much for reading! 

Review: Etude House Juicy Pop Tube AD

Today I am doing a review on this lipgloss from Etude House which I believe is a korean brand. I got mine from a friend in Korea, so whether this is a fullsize I dont know, but its a very nice pocketsize gloss.

It comes in a little squeezy tube which makes it easy to apply. The juicy pop tube does not have to much pigment in it, so on my more pigmentet lips its pretty much looks like a clear gloss.

As for the formula, its lovely! Ita not sticky at all and feels really moisturizing and smooth. However, because its not sticky the weartime isnt great, but I dont mind reapplying my lip products anyway, so for me its not a problem. As for ingredients, shade and exact size I have no idea as the back is all in Korean.

On Imomoko.com they are sold for $5.99, but the packaging is alot different, so I think it's been changed since I got mine. Link here. I also found them on BBCreamBoutique.com with the same packaging as mine, and it leads me to believe the name of my gloss in Apricot Juice. On BBCreamBoutique the size is smaller but so is the price as $3.99, but currently on sale for $2.99.

If you hate sticky gloss with a passion.then i really reccomend this! I am not sure of the price, but as Etude House is a high street brand in.Korea I asume its a good price as well! Even though I dont wear much gloss anymore I might look at the shades.of this and get a couple more since the formula is soo great!

Thanks for.reading, guys ^^

Lippie of the Week #4

Another lippie of the week guys! This baby is almost empty so it was an easy decision to make. 

This is a mini-sized Max Factor Vibrant Curve Effects in the shade Majeste which is a.shimmery nude gloss. Its very smooth on the lips, unlike last weeks Lippie which left my lips feeling dry and chapped and wierd...

Thanks for reading, guys! I really apprechiate it alot, you have no idea =)

Lippie of the Week #3

A little over due, but there's still plenty of days left to be using this week's lippie!

This week I chose No7 Liplicious, which is a regular lipgloss.

The shade I chose is Marshmallow, and I believe I got this in a set from Boots a while ago. 

The shade is a light, natural pink with some golden shimmer to it. It will fit nicely with most makeup and outfits, and that's why I chose it for this week, as I'm going to my graduation today, and I'm also working all weekend, so it has to work with that too. Both for my graduation and for work I perfer natural colors as supposed to a bright pink or dark red.

Now let's hope I don't loose this too as I did with the last LotW! I haven't found it again either, so it probably disappeared off the face of this earth, hah!

Thanks for reading!

My Sweden-Haulage!

yeahs, I went to Sweden with my brother today, and even though he was nagging me to leave, I still managed to purchase some stuff. The trip from me is 2.5-3 hours one way, so it takes a while, but the savings are massive, at least for me with my beauty-girl habits, haha!

I decided I wanted to show you what I bought, so here it is!

This clock I was drooling over the last time I went to Charlottenberg as well, but it was quite expensive at 498SEK. When I was there now it was half price, so I decided I had to get it.

It is a superpretty chuncky rosegold watch, and I fell in love! It also came with the little bracelet to the left.

I also bought these three facewashes. To the left is Garnier Nordic Essentials Face Wah, then the Face: UK Facial Wash and Clearasil Daily Clear Daily Gel Wash. I have tried one of the other Clearasil face-washes, but I wasn't really a fan of it. I figured this would maybe be better, and I like the fact that you can see through and tell how much product is left.

These are three of the bodylotions I got. I'm working on my next-to-last lotion, so I decided I'd have to pick up some more. I got the three scents avaliable in Cotton Breeze, Mango Mandarin and Calm Aloe Vera. They all smell very nice, but I'd say Cotton Breeze is the one to choose if you like wearing different perfumes all the time as it doesn't smell any more than fresh.

I got three more, one in Coconut (I love the smell of coconut!), a Cocoa Butter Cream Lotion and a Aloe Vera Body Lotion. The last one mentioned smells ALOT!

I also got a couple of hair-treatments. To the left is Garnier Respons for very dry hair, and then there's Syoss, which is a brand under schwarzkopf, and it's the Smooth-one with 24H anti-frizz effects.

I also got a face lotion, and this is by Gunry. It's with olives, and it's just a regular daycream. To the right is Gunry's Makeup Remover Wipes, which claims to remove waterproof makeup, as well as contain a cleanser, toner and lotion for a one-step-makeup removal.

I had to pick up a few makeup items so I got these powders from Kubiss which is an English brand. They had four different colors, and I decided to get them all as they were cheap, and I'm close to hitting pan on my last pressed powder!

Here's the names if you can tell.

No1 - Translucent

No2 - Candle

No3 - Sweet Touch

No4 - Dreamland

I tried the shade Translucent on my face and it seemed okay, it wasn't powdery, and it looked like it mattifyed my face. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the fact that you take the entire lid off, like with the powders from Rimmel, e.g. Stay Matte. Some of the lids are also very hard to get off, so I can imagine myself dropping these noumerous times.

Last thing I got was this Lingonberry Lip Laquer from Lumene. It's in the shade 4, and it's a really pretty red color. I've used it twice already, and the color-payoff is great! It's really pigmented, and it doesn't really dry down. It's a little sticky, but not so much that it's annoying.

Here you can see the color. That's what it looks like on the lips, guys!

I also picked up some candy, Loka and Ramlösa, some soda and some meat, but I decided to show my gum as a metafor for all of that, haha! One thing I was excited to try are the "Loka Likes Old-School"-tastes of water. There were three avaliable in "Lemon Pie", "Strawberry Ice Cream" and "Chocolate Shake". The Lemon Pie-flavour was intersting. I really liked it, but my hubby didn't. I want wait to taste the chocolate-flavoured one. Can you imagine Chocolate-water being any good? Nope, me neither...

Anyways, that was what I had today, so I will see you again soon =) 

Thank you so much for reading, and remember to follow my blog as well to keep up to date with new posts!

My Current Everyday Makeup-Items

I don't quite know what to call this post, because it's not really my current makeup-items, it's more of a "what I want to use for the next while"-post. Any ideas? Please let me know!

Anyways, on to the items!

I'll start of with the lippies! 

The lipliner is Maybelline ColorSensational Lipliner in 440 Fire Coral, the pink lipstick is Maybelline MNY Lipstick in the shade 802A which was limited edition with the Material Girl Collection. The lipstick is great, too, it's really smooth and creamy but also very pigmented.

The two lipglosses are from YSL. The pink one is a Pure Lip Gloss in 4, and the golden shade is a Golden Gloss in 54. Then of course, I can't live without a lipbalm, and I chose Carmex, which is what I've been using at daytime. On the bottom is a IsaDora Twist-Up Gloss Stick in 08 Romantic Red which I actually got on saturday. The same thing goes for the YSL Lipglosses.

For my eyes, I've chosen the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette, as well as a self-made little thing with a few eyeshadows in it as well. The nude/brown duo is from visions, the pink/charcoal duo is from H&M. The highlight-color is from Max Factor, and the last shade is from NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow Palette in Sandbar. I've used up the other shades except the purple, which is why it's not it the palette anymore.

Below that is my Gosh Serious Volume Mascara, H&M Liquid Liner; both in Black. For my primer I'll be using the ELF Eyelid Primer in sheer which is nearly finished, and the kohl-pencil is L'oreal Contour Kohl in Jet Black.

And then there's the face-items!

I have two blushes, one shimmery and one matte. The matte blush is ELF Mineral Blush in Coral, and the shimmery one is ELF Essentials Blush in Glow, but it's not the same now as it was when I got mine. You can tell I've used it alot as there's nearly nothing left in the pot, haha! I also have tgree concealers, the Missha Style Perfect Concealer and IsaDora Perfect Cover Stick for my blemishes and Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll-on for my undereyes. For a primer it's the only one I have at the moment; Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer. I have one BB Cream and a foundation too, if I want to change it up, and the Skin79 Diamond Collection BB Cream is a good one-step products as it has SPF in it. I chose L'oreal Matte Morphose Foundation because it's matte. I don't like a dewy face. Last things are my powder, and I have one translucent powder which is the ELF Complexion Perfection. This is now called "Tone Correction Powder" and the color I have is Cool. The other I have is my ELF Mineral Foundation in Light which is good if I just want a natural look. That too has an SPF of 15.

Here are the swatches for the palette with loose eyeshadows.

Top left is the highlighter, next to it the NYC shade. Then there's the pink/charcoal duo and the nuse/brown duo.

On the Comfort Zone palette I've done a full review which you can read HERE if you'd like to know more! Since the review was done I've actually hit pan on the browbone-shade to the left. I just noticed this morning, haha, I was so excited!

The swatches are left to right:

Maybelline Lipliner, MNY Lipstick, YSL Pure Gloss, YSL Golden Gloss, IsaDora Twist-Up Gloss Stick.

Under that is my ELF Essentials Glow blush and ELF Mineral Blush in Coral.

Then there's the two eyeliners - L'oreal Contour Kohl in Jet Black and H&M Liquid Eyeliner in Black.

I actually forgot to take pictures of the face-products, but I will add that in the morning! It's almost 3am here now, and I'm a little tired, haha! In the meantime, I just just write them down here:

L'oreal Matte Morphose Foundation

ELF Mineral Blush - Coral

ELF Essentials Blush - Glow

Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer

ELF Complexion Perfection Powder - Cool

Missha Style Perfect Concealer

Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On - Light

Skin79 Light Pink BB Cream

ELF Mineral Foundation - Light

Yeah, on we go, almost done now!

For my perfume I'll be using Escada Taj Sunset which I love! Sadly, this waws Limited Edition in 2011, so it's not avaliable anymore...

And here are all my things all neatly put away in a basket that has it's own little place on my desk.

Thank you so much for reading, I really appreciate it!

What items are your must-haves lately?

Review: ELF Pumping Lip Glaze

I know I said I would do the reviews after I finished the products, but then I found out it would be hard to swatch them that way. Clever, huh?

Anyways, I'm almost done with this, and I'll have to use a brush to get to the bottom of the tube.

Here is the packaging. Very simple and kind of cheap, but this cost £1.5, so the packaging doesn't matter that much, at least not to me. I forgot to mention this, but I have the shade fire coral.

Here are the swatches. The left shade is a little more pink than it originally was though. Reason being I've used it over bright pinks and reds. The glosses are a little sticky, but that also means they stay on longer. It's not overly sticky, though, so don't worry. The coloured side is fairly pigmented and it does give some colour to your lips. My lips aren't super dark, though, so if you have very pigmented lips it might now show up as much.

Here you can see what I was talking about above; the sponge-tip doesn't go all the way down in the tube so there is quite a lot of product left in the bottom. You can reach it with a lipbrush, but it is a little unconvenient to carry a lipbrush in addition to the gloss when it alreaedy comes with an applicator.

I really like this, but I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it, just because there's so many other lip-products I'd rather get to try out.
