If There's a Nail God… Review/Rave - Sephora Formula X!

If there is a nail god out there, I'm sure he/she would be the one, that sent these my way.

I heard about this line, when they were first launched, but didn't really think much of it, as I was in the UK at that time, and didn't have access to Sephora anyway.
For a long time, after coming back to Denmark, I passed them up on my regular trips to Sephora.
However that was until one my absolute favourite Youtubers Essiebutton gave them the stamp of approval.

On my next trip to Sephora my eye fell on Over The Top, unfortunately it was sold out, and it turned out to be quite the hunt to get it - but I finally did, and I haven't looked back since.

Save my face… Review - Antipodes Manuka Honey Treatment Mask!

My skin is not perfect. 
But I try my best to stay to a routine, I know works and keeps my skin at its best - with the occasional try out of new products of course:-)
However some time as with so many other things in life, my skin just kind decide to be bad.

When that happens I'm always in desperate search for that quick fix product, so that it turns back to normal state as quickly as possible.

A while ago I decided to give this Antipodes mask a go, because it seemed to do a bit of everything.

An Everyday Wonder… Review - Head & Shoulders Apple Fresh Shampoo/Conditioner!

I used to be quite a "experimenteur" within the shampoo/conditioner area, but then I meet Tigi Dumb Blond, and felt like I never wanted to use anything else.
After Dumb Blond I meet John Frieda Luxurious Volume in England, and continued the affair back in Denmark.
But a few weeks ago my John Frieda was running out, so I had a look around my stock, and found these.

They reminded me of the joy of changing out and discovering new drugstore shampoo and conditioner.
Also I do actually think, that it is best for your hair to change up your shampoo and conditioner ever so often.

So now I'm starting project "Discovering Drugstore Shampoo & Conditioner", where I will try something new every time I have used up a set, and therefore venture into the land of different drugstore shampoo and conditioner, and of course I will take you along for the ride.

Velvet Vibes… Review/Swatch - Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipsticks!

To be honest, the whole matte lip isn't really my thing - I do like the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107, but besides that, I often go for a more glossy look, probably because it makes my tiny lips look more luscious:-)

However I always get intrigued, when brands launch these hybrid lipstick/gloss things, so of course I had to try the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets.

No Sandals… My Summer Style Essentials #2 - Shoes & Accessories!

So if you are expecting a wide selection of sandals and flower crowns, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

As with my clothes, I don't change that much in the shoe and accessories department, when summer comes around.
Still I wanted to share, what I will be reaching for this summer.

Pretty Pink… June Beauty Favorites!

There are some quite hot pink items in this monthly favourites - but a bit of coral, glow and summer tan has also made the cut as well as some new cleansing bits.

June was as every year an exam month for me, but also a month of family gatherings and new student job - so all in all quite good.
But now July is here, and I'm enjoying have time of from the books.

But lets get started with this months beauty favourites.

Smooth Operator… Review - Sephora MicroSmooth Baked Foundation Powder!

I hate looking powdered, that is why I love a the Hourglass powder, because it take away the unwanted shine without taking away the healthy glow.

However, that powder is quite expensive and also not available in Denmark - so I use it sparingly.
Also it doesn't have much coverage, and in the summer I actually really like using a light layer of a light luminous foundation and then pair it with a higher coverage powder.
I used to use a mineral powder, but the one I used from Tromborg, is also quite expensive!

One day I was browsing Sephora, as I do quite often, and a display with this new powder caught my eye - especially the word smooth.
That day I didn't get it, but I went back a few days later and got it, because the look of it and the swatch had left my intrigued!

I still prefer black… My Summer Style Essentials #1 - Clothes!

Black suits me, my style and my comfort - and that doesn't change just because it is summer.
As I very rarely spend time in the direct sun anyway and prefer the shade, I still gravitate towards the black even when it is 20 degrees plus.

But I do pair it with some lighter pieces as well - and these the nine items, I like to have in my summer wardrobe this year.

Holy Cleanse… Review/rave - Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel!

Sometimes something magical happens - the first time I used this cleanser was one of those moments!

Cleansers are normally not the place, where I expect to get an experience like that.
But oh, what a difference a good cleanser makes.

Three Step Red… My Perfect Red Lip!

I mentioned several times, that when I want a bold lip, I often turn to a bright pink or dark berry purple.
But once in a while, every beauty-loving girl get the need to wear a red lip.

I have recently been perfecting my perfect red lip, and feel that I get the best result with this combination.
