Happy 2017

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas and now are ready to bring in 2017!
For me and my family Christmas has been wonderful. What I appreciate the most is to be able to spend time together with the ones that I love. I know Christmas is a tough period for many, that for different reasons can’t, won’t and are not able to celebrate, so being able to stay with the family for me is worth everything.

For Christmas I made a simple yet glittery makeup in warm tones with red lips. Here’s a picture of what came out. The light was really scarce so I was just able to get one decent photo. The makeup is kind of similar to the one I showed you in earlier post, but here I used the glitter on the eyelid instead and with a brown eyeliner.

---

But now, let’s focus on the makeup for New Year’s Eve instead. Just a few days left!
My idea for the New Years evening is to go for an even more gold glittery look with an intense eye makeup with straight lines and blended out shades. The look I show you is an usable, easy to create, cut crease look. A cut crease makeup isn’t hard to make and if blended out well the result will be magnific. I made a tutorial for you how I created this look that you can have a look at here under.

I wish you all a great prepartion for the New Year’s Eve and a splendid start of 2017! 🎆🎇🎆 

1. Prime the eyelids with Urban Decay’s eyeshadow primer potion. Highlight under the eyebrows with Tempera.
2. Line the crease using Urban Decay’s 24/7 glide-on eyepencil in West.

Easy Cut Crease with Tutorial

Hoppas ni har en riktigt bra vecka. Jag har riktigt fullt upp, därför den dåliga uppdateringen. I måndags kväll blev det ett besök till akuten med min son som ramlade här hemma och slog sig riktigt illa under hakan där de fick sy tre stygn. Det var riktigt läskigt, men jag hoppas det läker bra nu. På måndag har vi tid för att ta bort stygen.
Idag visar jag er en enkel cut crease sminkning som kan vara riktigt fin till Alla Hjärtans Dag. Efter många månader fick jag äntligen tid att göra ett litet foto tutorial. Hoppas ni gillar det. Ta hand om er!! ❤

I hope you’re having a great week. I’ve been really busy lately, that’s why I haven’t been able to update the blog lately. Monday evening we had to go to the emergency ward with my son that had fell and hit himself really bad underneath the chin where they had to sew three stitches. It was really scary, but I hope it’s healing good now. On Monday we’ve time to take off the stitches.
Today I show you a simple cut crease that can be really nice for Valentine’s Day. After many months I finally had the time to make a picture tutorial. I hope you like it. Take care now! ❤

Spero che stiate passando una bella settimana. Sono molto impegnata ultimamente per cui non ho avuto la possibiltà di aggiornare il blog. Lunedì sera siamo stati al pronto soccorso con mio figlio che si era fatto male sotto il mento dove hanno dovuto mettere tre punti. Stavavamo tutti male e mi ha davvero fatto impressione. Ora spero solo che guarirà come deve poi lunedì andremo a levare i punti.

Snowflakes

Vill önskar er alla en underbar start på december månad. Jag gillar verkligen den här tiden på året fram till Jul och Nyår.
Jag startar denna månad med en vintrig fest sminking. Jag hade riktigt kul när jag gjorde denna sminkning men dock inte lika roligt när jag skulle fotografera den. Det var så dåligt ljus ute och egentligen tycker jag inte att någon av bilderna blev riktigt bra. Men så kan det gå när det är grått och regnigt.
Ha nu en fortsatt bra dag!

I want to wish you all a fantastic start of December. I really like this time of the year until Christmas and New Year.
I kick off this month with a winter party make up. I had really fun creating it but less fun taking the pictures of it. It was such a bad light outside and I actually don’t like how the pictures turned out. But hey, that’s how it can go when it’s gray and rainy outside.
Have a wonderful day now!

Voglio augurarvi tutti un bellissmo inizio di dicembre. Mi piace davvero questo periodo dell’anno fino a natale a capodanno.
Per iniziare vi mostro questo trucco invernale che potrebbe essere adatto a una delle tante feste natalizie. Mi sono davvero divertita creando questo trucco. Putroppo la luce era pessima fuori ed era molto difficile fare le foto dopo. Non sono riuscita a far venire fuori una bella foto che rendeva giustizia al trucco. Ma è così quando è grigio e piove fuori.
Vi auguro una bella giornata!

The fire within

Idag blir det en lite mer dramatisk sminkning. Det var så länge sedan jag gjorde en cut crease så det kändes som det var dags för det nu. Sen medan jag gjorde denna sminkning la jag till lite mer än vad jag hade tänkt från början. Men det är just det som är så kul med smink, ibland vet man inte riktigt vart man slutar.
Hoppas ni har en bra onsdag!

Today I show a more dramatic make up. It’s been a long time since I made a cut crease so I felt I really needed to make one now. Then during the making of this make up I ended up with a bit more then what I had in mind from the beginning. But that’s what’s so fun with make up, sometimes you don’t know how you’ll end.
I hope you’re having a great Wednesday!

Oggi vi mostro un trucco un pò più dramatico. Era da tanto che non facevo un cut crease per cui sentivo il bisogno di creare questo trucco ora. Poi durante la creazione del trucco ho aggiunto qualche cosa in più di quello che avevo in mente all’inizio. Ma è questo che è così divertente con il trucco, qualche volta non sai mai come lo finisci.
Spero che stiate passando un bel Mercoledì!
