Loved and left them… Inspiration - Hyped products we forgot about!

The beauty industry has changed - we have more beauty brands now than ever and see new ones launching all the time.

This means a huge amount of new products, launches and re-launches, meaning that it is pretty much impossible to keep up - even for beauty addicts.

It also has two ofter "consequences" - firstly we hype up a lot of products, that we very quickly forget about again, because something new comes along, we have to try.

Secondly there are a quite the chance, that we will miss something good out there!

So I thought, I would give these two categories some love in this little two part series.

Today I will go through some of the products, that were really hyped at some point, but we never really hear about anymore - probably not because we don't love it, just because we got distracted by something new.

Light Sheen… Spring/Summer Nail Inspiration Part II

So I'm back with my next little instalment in my Spring/Summer nail inspiration series.

This one is another "shade" family - this time consisting of pale "metallics" or with a sheen, if you prefer.

Lets look at my little selection.

// Revlon Parfumerie Lavender Soap // Formula X Illusionary (not available online) // W.I.P Barely (similar here) //

Volume on budget… Product Battle/Review - L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara & Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara!

I find it really hard to keep to just one mascara and buy that one over and over again.

I do have a few, that I have repurchased (which I should probably do a post about), but with all the options and continuously new launches, I just get to tempted.

As I did with these two.

Even though neither L'Oreal nor Revlon do my all time favourite mascaras, I do have had quite good luck with these brands before.

L'Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt Mascara // Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara

Beam me up… Inspiration - Strobing for fair skin!

As I mentioned in my August favourites, I've really been into the whole strobing trend.

I have always been a sucker for highlighting, so this new strobing-trend aka. highlighting gone crazy is just up my street - much more so, than the previous contour-trend.

Strobing is actually great for fair skin - I think it enhances and compliments fair skin beautifully.

So I thought, I would share my favourite products for strobing/highlighting, and how I do it.

Illamasqua Gleam in Aurora - theBalm Mary-Lou-Manizer - No. 7 Instant Radiance 
Revlon Photoready Skinlights in Bare Light - L'Oreal Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in Ice

Blue Bundle… Blue Nail Polish Edit!

Blue is actually my favourite colour - or lets change that to everything from a mid bright blue to dark navy is my favourite colour.

Despite of this blue is not a colour I normally go for in nail polish, however I did still manage to gather four I really like.

And it is a good mix of cream, metallic and glitter and a light and dark.

1. Sephora Formula X A Little Sexy 2. Maybelline Color Show Cool Blue 3. Revlon Chic 4. Nails Inc. Sweet Way

Purple Pack… Purple Nail Polish Edit!

Time for another little nail polish edit.

This one is for the purples, which very much fit into my liking right now.

I'm totally obsessed with all thing lilac right now!

I hope you enjoy.

Nail No No… Disappointing Nail Product!

Just because I haven't been posting a lot about nails recently, doesn't mean, that I haven't been trying out new nail polishes and products.

Some have been good and some have been not so good.

I want to share with you the not so good ones in this post.

Bang Bang Pop… Review & swatch - Revlon ColorBurst in Adorned!

Revlon ColorBurst in Peony is one my all time favourite lip glosses.

This was placed on the featured products stand on the Revlon display in Boots, when I came to the UK.

I resisted for so long, but in the end, I just had to have it :-)

Face Naked... Review - Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation!

I have been wanting to try the Nearly Naked Foundation from Revlon since it came out - it really seemed like the perfect foundation for me.

Unfortunately Revlon isn't available in Denmark (come on Revlon - launch in Denmark!!).

So it was one of my first buys when coming to the UK.

Nail on... Autumn Nail Polish Picks Part 1!

So I haven't really been that inventive with my nails, since coming to the UK - to be honest, I just really can't be bothered and I don't really have the space, time or tools to do great nail art or creative NOTD's.

Also my nail polish collection is a bit limited being away from home :-)

But nail polish is still my one great beauty passion, so I wanted to share my favourite autumn nail polishes, some of the them old favourites and some new discoveries.

Gloss-tastic... Review & Swatch - Revlon Super Lustrous Lip glosses in Pink Pop and Kiss me Coral!

I'm much more a lip-gloss-kind-of-girl, than lipstick.

I like lipstick and do also buy and wear then, but some how I always finds, that a lip gloss works better for me.

Maybe it is because, I have small chapped lips :-)

But I still want a some pigment and colour and not just a glossy shine.

These Revlon Super Lustrous really met all my needs.

Wawawow Lash... Review - Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara!

For me Revlon is one of the best on the high street, when it comes to mascara.

I saw this in Boots, I hadn't heard anything about, but the name really intrigued me.

So I went with it and after trying it out for a couple of days, I'm happy to say, that they hit the mark once again.

Colour Crayons... Product Battle - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain vs. Bourjois Color Boost!

Almost every make up brand has one of them - a crayon lip product.

Recently Bourjois also added one to their line, and I thought, it would be interesting to compare it to one of first ones - Revlons Just Bitten.

Easter Egg... Nail of the day!

I have been seeing this kind of look several times the past weeks, and really wanted to know, but without any information on how to get it.

But then when going through my nail polish collection, it just came to me how to get it.

And I love the look!

Farewell the longest month ever!... January Beauty Favourites!

I know, that people say, that they can't believe another month had gone by, when they do their monthly favourites.

This was not the case for me and January!

So I can't wait for a short and hopefully more eventful February :-)

But I still manage to gather quite a amount of favourites - a few new ones and a lot of rediscoveries.

Skin:

Body Nordic Lovely Summer Body Oil Lotion:
This is a really nice lotion.
Sinks in really quickly, but still really hydrating.
Unfortunately this was only a small sample, and I have to many body lotion to justify buying another one right now.

Strawberry Bluecake... Nail of the day!

So recently I had my last exam for the autumn semester, and I got this idea, that pretty nails would give me some extra luck and good karma :-)

I have had this design in my head for a while, and I really liked the result.

Hot as Hell... Fuchsia lip products!

I find it very hard to wear red lipstick.

Maybe it's because I have very small lip or maybe, because I have to yellow teeth :-)

Either way I prefer a fuchsia or hot pink lip, when I want something a bit bolder.

These are my favourite products to achieve the look.

1. Rimmel Vinyl Gloss No Regrets 2. L'Oreal Caresse Impulsive Fuchsia
3. Max Factor Elixir Pomegranate 4. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lovesick

Hi, I'm a mascara hoarder!.... My current mascara collection!

Like so many other beauty obsessed, I'm always on the hunt for the perfect mascara!

And I'm not good a waiting for one to be used up, before I buy another one and try it out.

So the result is, that I always have more than one mascara in use a time.

And at the moment I have five!

So I thought, why not give you a look into my current collection.

(of cause I have a stash as well, but these are the ones, that are open, and I have tried out).

In my current collection, I have favourites, that have been there for a while.

New ones which I'm both loving and one that let me down.

And one, which is there for the second time.

Lip Fight... Product battle - Revlon Lip Butters vs. L'Oréal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipstick

My friend brought me some Revlon Lip butters from USA a while ago, as we don't have Revlon in Denmark.

I really like them, but was very tempted to try the L'Oréal Caresse lipstick, which was said to be their version of the lip butters.

However they are not yet available in Denmark.

So on my trip to London, I picked up two of the Caresse Lipsticks.

And I thought, why not compare the two?

Miami Disco... Summer Nail Dairy # 5

I never saw Miami Vice, but POP's Mint Magic just remind me of Miami.

I was there a few years ago, and right now I so wishing myself back there... or just to USA in general :-)

(I so want to go on holiday!!!)

But my longing for a nice holiday gave me the inspiration for these nails.
