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! ❤

True Love Asks for Nothing

For Valentine’s Day this year I suggest a shimmery halo makeup. Choose the color combination you like most and your eyes will look gorgeous. I tried this combination in brown and turquoise shades which isn’t that classic but the effect you get is amazing.

I want to wish you a fantastic Valentine’s Day with much love. Myself will work the whole day and spread love with my makeup brushes 😉 . I usually never celebrate Valentine’s Day since it’s too commercial for my taste. I like to be nice and show love everyday and not closing it in one day. But the meaning of Valentine’s Day is beautiful so enjoy it as much as you can!

Look for the weekend

Here’s a look I made mixing matte neutral shades with green and purple. A simple yet fun look that is easy to create.

This weekend I will spend with my family just relaxing. It’s been a busy week! I can’t believe it’s almost December and that Christmas is coming up. I need to start thinking about all the Christmas present, hopefully without getting too stressed ;-).
This sunday we will light up the first candle of Advent, that’s a Swedish tradition I always will continue with. At the same time I will try to decorate the house a bit.

Wish you all a great weekend!

Summer Breeze

This is a look I created inspired by a warm yet breezy summer day. I used very soft shimmery colors mixed with a few matte ones just to get a nice soft blending. I added a pair of blue false eyelashes to finish the look and even though you can go strong on the lipcolor here I prefered a soft glossy shade just to enhance the eyes even more. Probably for a night out I would choose a more intense lipcolor, quite likely in a pink shade.
I used Urban Decay’s Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette to create the eye makeup.

I hope that you all are having a nice Friday and that you’ll have a wonderful weekend! ❤

Lavishly

Idag visar jag er denna sminkning som jag gjorde när vi var i Sverige där jag använt mig av Anastasia Beverly Hills Lavish palett. Jag har inte haft möjlighet att visa den tidigare och ibland är det faktiskt bra att ha lite sminkningar på lager. 🙂
Anastasia Beverly Hills produkterna är helt underbara och snart kommer jag äntligen kunna beställa hennes Dipbrow Pomade i färgen Blonde. Den har varit slut på många hemsidor men ska förhoppningsvis komma in under den närmsta perioden. Om någon är intresserad att beställa hennes produkter kolla först upp olika hemsidor för priserna kan variera ganska mycket. Jag kommer antagligen att beställa den från Beautybay.com…om det kommer in i lager det vill säga.
Hoppas ni har en riktigt bra dag!

Today I show you this make up I made when we were in Sweden. I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Lavish palette to create it. I haven’t had the chance to show it to you until now. Once in a while it’s actually good to have some back up make ups. 🙂
The products from Anastasia Beverly Hills are fantastic and soon I’ll finally be able to order her Dipbrow Pomade in color Blonde. It has been out of stock on many websites but hopefully it’ll be back within a short period from now. If someone are interested in ordering her products check and compare different websites first since the prices can vary a bit. I’ll probably order mine from Beautybay.com…if it’ll come back in stock soon.
Wish you all a fantastic day!

Can’t stop now

Idag blir det en väldigt enkel sminkning som jag tycker kan passa lika bra till vardags som till fest.
Jag känner mig inte alls bra dessa dagar och tar ipren och panodil två till tre gånger om dagen. Jag har inte feber men har värk och känner mig jättekonstig i hela kroppen. Perfekt att flytta när man mår såhär. Sen igår kväll fick Oliver feber igen så på måndag blir det helt klart ett besök hos läkaren. Jag hoppas det blir bättre snart.
Hoppas i alla fall att ni får en bra helg! Kramar!

For today I’ve made a really simple make up that I think can fit good both as an everyday make up as for the evening.
I don’t feel good at all these days and take medicin around two three times per day. I don’t have fever but I’ve pain and feel really strange in my body. Perfect to move in this condition. Then yesterday night Oliver got fever again so on Monday we’ll absolutely make a visit to his doctor. I hope we’ll feel better soon.
I hope anyway that you’ll have a great weekend! Hugs!

Per oggi ho fatto un trucco molto semple che penso sia adatto sia come trucco da tutti i giorni come da sera.
Io non mi sento bene questi giorni e prendo tachipirina e moment due tre volte al giorno. Non ho febbre ma dolori e mi sento stranissima nel corpo. Ottimo trasferirsci in questa condizione. Poi ieri sera Oliver ha preso febbre di nuovo per cui lunedì faremo una visita dal suo dottore. Spero migliorerà presto.
Vi auguro un bel fine settimana! Abbracci!
