Euphoria

Min lilla tjej har varit hemma nästan hela veckan från dagis. Hon har tyvärr åkt på streptokocker och har nu sedan tre dagar börjat en 10 dagars penicillinkur. Jag hatar verkligen streptokocker då det är tredje året i rad vi åker på det. Det är ju så lätt att hela familjen har det nu så nästa vecka ska jag ta med Oliver och se om han också är positiv. Om han skulle vara det är jag säker på att jag också har det och förmodligen även min man. Vi får se…
Hur som helst har vi riktigt vårväder här nere i Florens för tillfället så idag kände jag för något riktigt uppiggande och färgglatt. Jag använde mig av Sleeks i-Divine Ultra Mattes V1 BRIGHTS PALETTE för att göra denna sminkning. Bild tutorial hittar ni längre ner.
Ha en underbar fredag!

My little girl has been home from the Kindergarten almost the whole week. Unfortunately she has got streptococcus so now she has to take penicillin for 10 days. I really hate streptococcus since it’s the third year in a row we’re getting it. It’s so easy that the whole family gets it so next week I’ll bring Oliver to the doctor too to see if he’s positive. If so, in consequence, I’m sure I’ve it too and probably also my husband. We’ll see…
However the weather is so wonderful here in Florence right now so today I really felt for something refreshing and colorful. I used Sleek’s i-Divine Ultra Mattes V1 BRIGHTS PALETTE to create this make up. Tutorial further down.
Have a wonderful Friday!

Mia piccola bambina è stata a casa dal asilo quasi tutta la settimana. Sfortunatamente ha preso lo streptococco per cui ora deve prendere antibiotico per 10 giorni. Odio lo streptococco, è terzo anno in fila che lo prendiamo. E’ così facile che lo prende tutta la famiglia per cui inizio settimana prossima porterò anche Oliver dal dottore per vedere se anche lui risulta positivo. Se così, in conseguenza, propabilmente c’è l’avrò anche io e mio marito. Vedremo…
In ogni modo il tempo è stato bellissimo questi giorni per cui oggi volevo fare un trucco fresco e colorato. Ho usato Sleek i-Divine Ultra Mattes V1 BRIGHTS PALETTE per crearlo. Il tutorial troverete più giù.
Vi auguro un bel venerdì!

Här är det kallt och regnigt idag plus att det blåser storm. Kan inte annat än att längta lite efter våren nu. Det är ju ett tag kvar så jag får fördriva tiden med lite färgglada sminkningar tills dess.
Ha en fin dag!

Here it’s cold and rainy today plus that it’s really stormy. I can’t hide that I’m longing a bit for springtime now. Since it’s kind of long time left until spring I can only beguile away the time with some colorful make ups.
Have a nice day!

Summer Naturel

Kör på en neutral look idag där jag använt mig av Sleeks palett Au Naturel. Har börjat gilla matta ögonskuggor väldigt mycket på senaste tiden. De ser inte bara fräscha och fina ut utan i mitt fall tycker jag de håller bättre än vad de skimriga gör under dagen.

Sunny

Igår hade jag en helt sminkfri dag. Jag var ute med barnen på morgonen, hann med att springa för andra dagen i rad och så blev det bad i poolen. En härlig dag med mycket sol. Barnen sover som stockar varje natt då de får göra mycket under dagarna.
Denna sminkning gjorde jag i förrgår. Som ni ser även från mitt tidigare smink inlägg blir det lite annan layout på korten än tidigare. Min bror hjälpte mig att hitta ett program som heter Fotor som fungerar på MAC datorer. Normalt använder jag mig av Photoscape. Men det får gå för tillfället.

Yesterday I had a completely makeup free day. I was out playing with the kids after breakfast, had time to go running for the second day in a row and we also took a long bath in the pool. A lovely day with lots of sun. The kids sleep like a logs every night since we´ve time to do a lot during the days.
This make up I did two days ago. As you can see also from my latest make up post, the layout is different than before. My brother helped me find a program called Fotor that works on MAC computers. I normally use Photoscape. But in the meantime this has to work.

1. Prime your eye with Urban Decay´s primer potion. Put on tape for a precise application.
2. Start with the yellowgolden eyeshadow and apply it in the inner corner of the eye. Right after it, over the middle lid, apply the orange eyeshadow.
3. Now take the lightbrown shiny eyeshadow and blend it in over the crease.
4. With a medium blending brush blend in the red eyeshadow over the outer lid and blend it up in the crease.
5. Highlight under the eyebrows with a matte whitebeige eyeshadow. (I used FOXY from UD Naked2.)
6. Apply MAC´s fluidline eye-liner gel Blacktrack and make a wing. Take off the tape.
7. Under the lower lashline apply the blue eyeshadow.
8. Line your upper and lower waterline with a black kohl pencil.
9. Put on mascara and false eyelashes. As a face contour use Bronzing Veil from Too Faced the secret to no makeup makeup palette. On the cheeks apply Sephora´s blush Romantic Rose.
10. On the lips apply Urban Decay´s Stardust Sparkling Lipgloss Andromeda. Done!

Soft summer look

En enkel soft sminkning i ljus rosa och gråa färger. Passar bra som vardags sommar sminkning. Jag använde ett knallrosa läppstift till för att bryta av lite, men det går absolut lika bra med naturella eller ljusrosa läppar.

A simple soft make up in light pink and grey colors. Fits good as an everyday summer makeup. I used a fucsia colored lipstick for some more color, but you can just keep the lips neutral or lightpink as well.

1. I primed my eye with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and applied NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in MILK over the mobile eyelid.
2. I started to apply the matte light pink eyeshadow, nr1, over the whole mobile eyelid. Then I took a soft blending brush blending in the matte light grey eyeshadow, nr2, starting from the outer corner blending in and over the crease.
3. To create some soft intensity I took the matte dark grey, nr3, with a smaller blending brush, blending it in into the outer V and blending it up in the crease.
4. Now over the crease I blended in FOXY, nr4. I highlighted with BOOTYCALL, nr5, under the eyebrows and applied it in the inner corner of the eye.
5. Now I applied the black gel eyeliner from Bobbi Brown creating a wing.
6. Under the eye close to the inner corner I applied the matte pink eyeshadow, nr6, and under the rest of the eye I applied a mix of the two grey eyeshadow, nr2 and nr3.
7. I lined my waterline with NYX MILK pencil and over it I applied the purple eyeshadow, nr7. I put on mascara and the false eyelashes from H&M.
8. On the cheeks I applied Elf’s cream blush ”Tease” and on the cheekbones I applied a bit of Elf’s all over stick ”Spotlight”. On the lips I applied with a lipbrush Sleek’s POUT PAINT in ”Pinkini”. Done!

Matte look with a four colored eyeliner

Idag har vi sovit ut, vi var så trötta igår efter eftermiddags shopping med barnen. Blev att stanna på hemvägen och äta pizza, sen var vi hemma vid 21:20. Oliver var så busig medan Alma somnade på en gång. Hela morgonen har det provats skor! Jag hittade lite godingar på Kiko som jag kan visa lite senare.
Här kommer en make up där jag använde mig av alla fyra eyelinerna från ZOEVA. Eftersom alla är ganska mörka syns det inte jättebra på korten.

Today we slept until late, we were so tired yesterday after the afternoon shopping with the kids. On the way back home we stopped for some pizza and then we were back home around 21:20. Oliver was so wild and played while Alma fell asleep at once. The whole morning they’ve been trying on their new shoes. I found some goodies from Kiko that I’ll show later on.
Here comes a make up where I’ve used all four of ZOEVA’s eyeliners. Since they’re all kind of dark it doensn’t show so good on the pictures.

1. I primed my eye with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and started to apply the matte beige eyeshadow, nr 1, over the whole mobile eyelid.
2. I blended in the matte eyeshadow, nr2, over the crease and highlighted under the eyebrows with the eyeshadow, nr3.
3. In the outer corner of the eye and a bit into the crease I blended in the brown eyeshadow, nr4. I didn’t use much product here since it’s very intense.
4. I applied ZOEVA’s cream eyeliners in this order from inner to outer corner:
   ”Secret Garden”, ”Cocoa Bean”, Night Violet”, ”Denim Bar”
5. Under the eye I first applied the darkbrown eyeshadow, nr5, and then under that the darkpurple eyeshadow, nr6.
6. I lined upper and lower lashline with a brown eyepencil. I put on mascara and false eyelashes. On the lips I used Sleek’s POUT PAINT ”Pin Up”. Done!

Lunar

Här kommer en annan variant på en sminkning gjord med Sleeks Sunset Palett. Den påminner om sminkningen Sunset jag gjorde men här har jag använt mig av de andra ögonskuggorna, en mer varm bruntonig sminkning. Älskar den här paletten!

Here comes another version of a make up made by using Sleek’s Sunset Palette. It reminds of the make up Sunset I made but here I used the other eyeshadows, a more warm browntoned make up. I love this palette!
