Cheetah Inspired Makeup

I posted this on my facebook and makeup bee, and now I'm posting it here! If you want to see a tutorial for this, please let me know!

It's washed out, but I didn't get a better picture because it was taken late at night and I had to use a blitz.

I used a felt-tip black eyeliner from L'oreal

Miners VoloptuLash Voluminizing Mascara

Mac E/S Espresso

Mac E/S Blanc Type

What do you think`?

Rambling.

Oh my God, guys! It's been forever! 

But I didn't come up in any written finals, so now I'm hoping I'll skip out on the vocals too! Hopefully I'll only have my media exam and that will be it, which means more time for youtube !

I have filmed two videos now; one with me curling my hair and a fresh and simple summermakeup! I installed a new movieeditor on my computer last night, so hopefully it wil work with the videos I've filmed both for my beauty-channel and my hama-channel now. Actually, I've filmed 3 videos for Chrisbeeblack, becuase I filmed a nail-video too, but I'm not sure if I'm going to upload it, I might film a new one instad.

And I've been obsessed with iced coffe lately. I've just been buying Nescafé's ice coffee from an Asian store in Hønefoss, and I love it.

Is there any other videos you'd like me to film? Any reviews or something? 

I'm planning to do a collective haul too, because my london-haul didn't work out and I deleted it instead of saving the files. Obviously that was a bad idea, and now I'm not sure where everything is. But I have bought some shoes, and some other things I want to show you.

I post a few beauty-related things there too!

Thank you for your time!

Review: ELF Duo Eye Shadow Cream

Have any of you tried this?

Here's the packaging.

The shades I have are Black Licorice and Coffee and Cream.

They are both very pigmented, they're easy to work with and all that, but there's one problem:

They crease like crazy! It's such a shame because the colours are beautiful, there's a decent selection of colours too.

As you can see the white shade is the only one that's a little patchy, other than that they go on super smooth and pretty. As I already said, they fail massively as cream shadows because they crease so bad, but they are great as a coloured cream base for your sheerer eyeshadows. Just keep in mind that you need a very thin layer.

If you need a base, go for it.

If you're looking for a cream shadow to be worn alone you should stay away, try the Studio Cream Shadows instead, they're great. 

Review: ELF Eyebrow Treat and Tame

This is what I'm reviewing today. It's the Eyebrow Treat and Tame by ELF. Basically this is a two-step product to make your eyebrows look better. At first when I got this I used the Tame side the most. It's the coloured side and I have the shade Light. I wish I'd gotten Ash though, because it can look a little dark on me sometimes. 

Now on the other hand, I use the Treat side, and it's supposed to make your eyebrow hairs grow. 

I wasn't really expecting much from this side, but it really worked! I just applied it with the brush-applicator it came with all over my brows before I go to bed. It dries pretty quickly too. 

Here are the applicators and the colour of the tame side in Light.

I really like the product, both sides of it actually, but I do perfer my eyebrow-pencil better. It looks a bit more natural, but sometimes I just run this through. They work, which is good, the price is low, which is also good, so I would suggest trying this if you either want to tame your brows, or grow some more hairs to them.

I can't promise you a miracle-worker, but at least for me the treat side did something for the better!

OOTD - 16.02.12

Not super exciting, but I wanted to show you.

I wore the same dress yesterday for my date as well, but I chose high heels and a gray cardigan instead of the black one and the converse.

Chose to put some colour in this with my home made rainbow-bracelet. 

If you want a DIY on that one, just let me know! 

And that was it! 

I hope you liked it.

OOTD - Happy Valentine's Day!

I don't really have a date or anything tonight because my boyfriend is working late, but I decided to do my makeup for school today and I felt like sharing it with you guys, so here it is!

Review: ELF Studio Blushes

The review of the day will be on the Studio Blushes from ELF. I have two shades, and I'm planning to get more in the future. You can see the packaging in the picture below. It's an almost matte black backaging, kind of NARS-ish, with a peek-though window in the top which I really like. That was you can see what colour it is without having to actually open it.

On the backside of the packaging there's also a sticker saying the name.

The shades I have is Blushing Rose and Gotta Glow.

As you can tell from the sticker the blush containts 4.8g / .17oz of product which is quite alot. For comparison a regular MAC blush containts 5.9g / .21oz as far as I could figure out. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Something I did notice thuogh, is that while the sticker on the back says 4.8g the ELF website claims it contains 4.75g, but I guess it doesn't really matter. Just something they should think about.

Here is the shade Blushing Rose. 

As you can tell this has quite som golden shimmer to it, but it doesn't at all look glittery or overly shimmery on my skin. I really like this shade, but it is more of a fall and winter colour than spring and summer because it is a rather darkish berry colour. I don't have any problems with this on my skin though.

Here are the swatches.

Left one is blended and the right one isn't.

And here is Gotta Glow. It looks a little white in the pan, but it is actually a little golden. It has some golden shimmer to it too, so if you're not fond of shimmery or golden highlighters you will not like this. I quite like it, but it is a little strong for daytime I think. I perfer a more subtle shade for everyday. 

Here is the swatch. I had a hard time catching this shade in a photo, so this will just have to do for now.

At leas there you can see the golden tones in it.

I really like these blushes and I'm planning to get Peachy Keen and Candid Coral as well. Maybe I'll pick up one of the pinks as well. This blush costs $3 or £3.5 depending on where you get it from. If you get it from the EU/UK site like I have to it's £3.5. How ever it's still a very cheap blush. 

It's got good quality and pigmentation. Sometimes I wish the highlighter shade was a little less pigmented, but it's easier for me to apply less than for someone who's darker to apply it over and over again to get some colour.

Definetly reccomended as well !

Review: H&M Silk Smooth Foundation

I decided to post another review today, just because I'm in a really good mood after I went bowling with some friends earlier today, and now I'll be going to my boyfriend to sleep over there.

This time the review is on this foundation:

It is from the Swedish clothingstore H&M which means this is avaliable in pretty much the whole world I think. I got mine for 39NOK when I bought it the first time, while I paid €1 the second time when it was on sale in Amsterdam this summer. It contains the regular 30ml / 1 oz as most other foundations do.

The foundation is very soft, and it says "new formula" on it, but I don't know if that's true anymore, because it's been there for forever. The formula is great though. It's easy to blend, and has a light to medium coverage I think. The shade-selection is not that great though. I have the lightest shade, and it matches me just fine. It's not perfect, but it's not that bad. It's perfectly usable. The formula is a little thick, so it doesn't slide around on your hand like my IsaDora and Maybelline foundations do.

The shade has some yellow undertones to it which is what I perfer for my skintone. I wish I had something I could compare this to, but I don't. I'm usually the lightest shade in everything, though, if that helps you.

When I got this I was a little afraid it would bother my skin and give me a break-out, but it didn't, and for a foundation this cheap that is awesome! For the packaging it's just a regular squeeze-tube. It's easy to handle, but I do perfer a pump. This doesn't leek or anything though.

In general I really like this for my normal, but acne-prone skin. It stays on when I set it with a powder which I always do. I really reccomend it, and you should definetly try it out, atleast for the price you can't really go wrong. And if the shade is a little off you can correct it with a powder or something.

Definetly a hit for me!
