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!!! ❤

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!

Soft Romantic Make Up Look

De här veckorna hemma i Sverige har jag mestadels gjort softa neutrala sminkningar med något litet undantag.
Den här enkla sminkningen utan lösögonfransar tycker jag passar perfekt till något romantiskt som t.ex. en brudsminkning för den som inte vill ha en alltför markerad sminkning.
❤

These weeks home in Sweden I’ve mostly done soft neutral makeups with a few exceptions.
This easy makeup without false eyelashes is perfect for something romantic for example a bridal makeup for the ones that don’t want their makeup to be too heavy.
❤

Queste settimane qui a casa in Svezia ho soprattutto fatto trucchi neutrali con qualche eccezione.
Questo trucco piacevole senza ciglie finte è perfetto per un evento romantico come ad esempio il trucco sposa per la sposa che non vuole avere un trucco troppo pesante.
