Kérastase Densifique

Just a few weeks ago I decided to get another treatment from Kérastase that is specific for hair loss, Densifique.

Densifique Bain Densité is a hair thickening shampoo designed to restore abundance, lushness and bounce to hair in loss of density. A fuller denser hair mass is revealed. What I do is that I first clean my hair with a shampoo which eliminates impurities so that the active ingredients in this shampoo deeply penetrate the hair for a richer lather.

Apply an orange-size amount of mousse to washed and towel-dried hair.
Distribute the mousse with a comb from roots to tips while insisting on the lengths.
Proceed to styling.

EuPhidra Eyeshadow palette Dream Velvet

I got this 5 eyeshadow palette from Euphidra a couple of weeks ago. I’ve often been using it when I work in pharmacies but never tried it out on myself. So when I got it as a present I was so happy! The eyeshadows are completely matte, they’re smooth and buttery and very blendable. You can easily create everything from a soft everyday look to a hot smokey eye.
The look I made with this palette is very classic. I just added some gold underneath the lower lashline to make the look a bit more fun. I used Motives Cosmetics antique gold eyeshadow for that. On the lips I used Euphidra’s new lipstick RS01, that you can find swatches on in a few blog posts back.

Have a wonderful week!

New Products from EuPhidra

For you that don’t know and have never heard about the Italian cosmetic brand called Euphidra I can tell you that this brand got created in 1999 by the Italian pharmaceutical company called Zeta Farmaceutici. If you’re intrested to know more about them you can visit their website here. Their products are only sold through pharmacies.

They recently updated their whole makeup line and in this post I’ll show you a few of the new products; eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks. They got many more products but I don’t have the possibility to show everything. However I’m very glad to sometimes work with them, specially now when everything is new. They got a whole range of other products such as facial creams, facial cleansers etc…the list is long and I can really recommend their products. They got something for all ages, different skintypes and most importantly all their products are produced in Italy in their pharmaceutical laboratory with safe ingredients that works perfectly also on who has very vulnerable and sensitive skin.

---

Here are the new eyeshadows. All of them are satinated, they are very soft and easy to work with and blends perfectly. With an eyeprimer underneath they’re very long lasting.

---

The new lipsticks are amazing, everything from the shades to how they last for hours without drying out the lips. They come in four shiny shades and four matte shades. My absolute favorite for the moment is the number RS01. I’ve been using it frequently since over a month now. Here under you can see the swatches in sunlight and daylight.

---

I also really like the new blushes they made. They come in three different shades and sometimes I also like to use them in the eyemakeup. All of them are matte and blends out great over the cheeks giving them a soft healthy look.

---

With these new products I created the look you see here under. On the lips I used the shiny lisptick number RS03. The black eyeliner is done using Euphidra’s waterproof black eyepencil number EA01.

Have a wonderful week now!!! ❤

Too Faced – Natural Matte Look

This Natural Matte eyeshadow palette from Too Faced has been one of those palettes I’ve been looking at for a long time without purchase, but when the right occasion showed up I just had to buy it. It’s one of those perfect ”easy to go” everyday palettes, and it hasn’t let me down. I really like it and use it a lot. The shadows are very soft with a good pigmentation and very blendable. With the right primer under they last without problem the whole day.

Easter Makeup 2017

We started with some small Easter celebrations already this morning. I had hidden the childrens Easter eggs together with a present, so we had a small Easter egg hunt after breakfast this morning. The children were so excited and happy! Then what I love about them is that they show their appreciation. I never want them to take anything for granted and I think they’ve started to understand what I mean now. ❤

For this Easter I wanted a fresh colorful makeup and this is the result. I used a soft pink lipstick to this look with a touch of glitter to the lower central lip, (which was more for the photo, I would never eat with glitter on my lips 😉 ). The lipstick comes from Euphidra, the brand I’m promoting and doing makeup for around different pharmacies here in Florence. It’s from their new serie that recently launched. I’m so exited because the quality and the shades are amazing. As soon as I’ll have the time I’m going to do a post showing you all their new lipsticks.

I want to wish you a fantastic Easter weekend and send you all lots of love! 🐣🐰

Pink Spring

Here in Florence it’s been a few days with incredibly warm weather for the season. I think we had 24 degrees yesterday and close to that also today. It’s really wonderful and all the trees and flowers are starting to bloom out really fast now. The sunsets at night are spectacular and I get so inspired by all these wonderful colors.
My makeup inspiration of today’s look come from what nature offers right now, beautiful spring colors. Then Easter is coming up soon and I love to be colorful at this time of the year.

Options

Wow the weeks are going fast now! I ended last week with some work which always is really nice.
At the same time we had a long weekend since the school decided to do a strike on Friday. That’s Italy… Noone understands why, noone tells you and nothing ever changes…hahaha… Luckily I wasn’t working Friday so I could stay with my children.

So today’s look feels a bit more ”springy”. Light green shades mixed with earthy tones is always a happy mix. I added pink lips to this look to make it even brighter.

Have a wonderful happy week!!! ❤

Dubai

I hope you’ve had a really nice weekend! I’ve just been relaxing since it’s been raining almost the whole Saturday and Sunday. This new week started as the old one ended with rain! So now I really hope to see some sun tomorrow.
I’ve been preparing this look even though the light wasn’t on my side, it’s so frustrating when you’ve to take 300 pictures just to get 5 decent ones… Probably should get myself a ringlight, but I still prefer taking pictures in daylight. Sometimes I ask myself why I’m doing this, wasting hours on taking pictures, but when the passion is stronger than the common sense you just can’t stop yourself! 🙂

The look I created today is made with Huda Beauty’s Textured Shadows Palette Rose Gold Edition. The look is a bit more dramatic since I combined the eyemakeup with strong red lips. That’s how I wanted this look to be, but I’m sure it would look great also with a pair of nude lips.

Have a wonderful week now! ❤
