Max Factor Haul!

Hello guys!

I recently picked up a few bits from Max Factor. You all know by now that I love makeup surprisebags, so when my local perfumery had a Max Factor bag for 250NOK with a value of 1000NOK, I just had to get one! Each bag had 6 items and I picked one at random...

Here are all the items I got! I was very excited to see the Max Factor CC cream in the bag, but unfortunatley, it's in the shade 69 Medium and is too dark... I think I'm going to try it again in the summer, or maybe if I get the job at Walt Disney I might get a tan from the Florida sun! Then I got a Max Effect Mini Nailpolish in the shade 38 Purple Haze which is very pretty! I have it on my nails right now, hehe!

Here you can see the CC Cream to the left. Clearly a little too dark!

Then I got a lipstick in the shade 630 Eternal Flame which is very pretty, and a Wild Shadow Pot in the shade 60 Brazen Charcoal which is also very pretty, but I haven't gotten to try it properly!

I also got two mascaras! The top one is the Wild Mega Volume Volumising Mascara in Black. The wand seems okay, but not as good as I'd like. Also the formula is a little wet for me, so I'm going to let it dry a little and see if it works better then. The same problem I have with the second mascara, which is the Eye Brightning Tonal Black Volumising Mascara for Brown Eyes. Not a huge fan of that wand either, even though I tend to perfer plastic-wands. But I'll let it sit for a while to let the formula get drier and hopefully it'll work better then :)

That was all I got people! If you want a review of anything just let me know!

Bye guys!

Vacation Makeup Haul - Essence, Clinique, NYC and more!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hey guys! Finally I have my internet back! It took forever, let me tell you!
I'm back from Gran Canaria, so from now on there's no pre-written posts =) I got back at around midnight between the 31st of July and the 1st of August, and I've been so taken up grocery-shopping and washing clothes that I haven't had the opportunity to do a post until now. But here it is, my haul, and it's massive, haha!

I got a lot of things from Essence because the brand is not avaliable here in Norway. Same goes from NYC even though I didn't get so many things from them.

I picked up two bases/primers, the NYC Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer and the Essence My Base Illuminating Makeup Base. The Essence base also has a pump while the NYC primer is a regular squeeze tube. On top is the Essence I <3 Runway Highlighter. As far as I could tell it's only avalible in one color.

Favourites - June 2013

For once, I am going to do a favourites post! There's just a few makeup bits, but I thought I would shade anyways.

My makeup items are the ELF Mineral Foundation SPF 15 in Light, ELF Mineral Blush in Coral, L'oreal Matte Morphose Souffle Foundation which I did a review of a couple of days ago (LINK), my H&M Liquid Liner which I'm happily surprised with and the Gosh Serious Volume Mascara in Black! Surprised by that one two, since it's not waterproof, but I have cried with it on and it didn't run which is really good for a non-waterproof mascara!

I also have been loving my Joursna brushes which I got off of eBay, but it's basically a short stippling brush and a round kabuki-type brush. The watch is by Regal and I got it in Sweden at half price which was awesome!

I have also had a non-makeup favourite, and I got it on tuesday, so I didn't even have it in June, but I'm adding it here anyways because I want to tell you. 

It is the white shelf, and it's from EXPEDIT by IKEA. It's just a white shelf-thing with four shelfes in it. We have a black one too which we have random stuff in, but this is perfect of rmy room as my HELMER drawers which are also by IKEA are white. They are origianlly 249NOK, but I got mine used from 100NOK.

Inside I have my mother's sewing machine, oil for my boyfriend's car and my car, a thing for his electric guitar and a little set of tools, haha. In the top shelfes I have my purses which I don't use as much to the right and my stash of bodylotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in a little stash to the left. I do want to get baskets for it which are called DRÖNA and they're 39NOK each and I love them in our other shelf, but they're not made in white, haha. 

Anyways, enought rambling about interior, I'll see you later! 

One more thing, if you'd like a review of anything, just let me know!

Thank you so much for reading =)

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!
