The Try Outs Part I… New Skincare - Clease & tone!

Since the start of this new year (which seems like yesterday, but is actually ages ago), I have been trying out some new bits in the skincare area, as my skin wasn't really looking and feeling its best.

I haven't changed out my whole routine and many of my core products are still the same (you can see me skincare routine here and here), I just tried out and added in some new products here and there to help improve the condition of my skin.

Some I loved and some I liked, but will leave once they are finished.

For this Part I, I will share three cleansing products and a "toner" - for Part II (coming up soon) I will do the serums and moisture products.

I'm in love with the coco… Inspiration - Coconut Appreciation!

I love coconut - not particular for consumption, but for the beauty effect.

After the benefits of coconut oil were "revealed" a few years ago, coconut have made its way into the beauty world in quite a way.

And it gets me every time, I see a new beauty product with the word coconut on it.

Not only does coconut products tend to smell amazing, coconut oil have proven to have great effects on especially my hair.

I thought, I would share with you some of the coconut products, I have in rotation at the moment.

Summer Face Part II - Inspiration - Summer make up look feat. eye and lip product reviews!

So as promised I'm back with the second part of my summer make up look with products reviews - if you didn't see the last one, you can see it here.

Just to recap - I did a dewy light base with glossy peachy cheeks, a simple eye with a bright colorful twist and matte lips.

Today I will take you through my thoughts on the NYX eye pencil and liquid liner and the Sephora and NYX matte lip options.

Mud Face… Review - Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying!

Oh, I love the Internet and especially the beauty/fashion community on the Internet.

If it hadn't been for the beauty community, I would never have bought this one.

I have had some luck with the Sephora Skincare line in the past, but still I would probably never have reached for this one.

But when I heard it was a good dupe for the Glamglow (which I haven't tried though) and I saw the price, I decided, there really was nothing to loose.

I have now been giving it a good try for a couple of months and it ready to report.

Ways of application… Inspiration - My Foundation Application tools!

The key to stepping up your foundation game is the applicator.

I prefer using some sort of applicator and only very rarely use my fingers, but depending on the base I'm using, I prefer different tools.

Today I'm going to take you through my foundation/base applicators, and what I use them for.

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.

Green Gathering… Green Nail Polish Edit!

So the time has come for the green nail polish selection, which is one of my favourite brights for summer.

This selection also include some new discoveries brand-wise, which I'm very exited about!

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!

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.

We all do it!… Product Battle - L'Oreal Color Riche Eye Colour Pencil vs. Sephora Jumbo Liner 12 HR Wear!

Yes, we all do it - get lured by the same type of products, colours, brands etc. over and over again.

This means, that we often end up with things very similar to each other - hell I have even bought the same lipstick twice without realising it!

I really try to be good about this, and I do actually have a few tips, such as having a wish list on my phone, and always giving it an extra thought, if it is not on that list, to avoid the above scenario to often.

However it did happen recently, when I came home with the new L'Oreal Color Riche Pencil and decided to do a bit of clean up in my eye liners and realised, that I already had a very similar colour from Sephora.

But hey, this gave me the opportunity to do product comparison, so it wasn't all bad - right? :-)

Wash them brushes... How I clean my brushes!

I not going to preach, because you probably all know, how important it is to clean and take care of your make up brushes.

But I want to share my "technique" and the products I use.

Rubber Dub... Review - Sephora Exfoliating Face Disc!

I almost can't get my arms down from excitement about this "device".

And I can't believe, that no one is talking about it - so now I will!

Smooth lines... Review & Swatch - Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12HR wear!

Recently I have been very into eye liners in different colours.

And I especially like creamy ones, that lasts all day.

When browsing Sephora before my exam last week, these caught my eye.

Terracotta Sunset.... An eye look!

For autumn I loved the reds on the eyes (I still do by the way).

For this spring I'm ready to wear the orange shades.

It all started with a matte nude orange, I got at Inglot - If I should give it a name, I would call it Terracotta!

I really wanted to do a look with this shadow as the inspiration, so I gathered up my other orange toned shadows and ended up with this.

And yes, I'm wearing a kid bandaid on my neck, it's a long story:-)

Brush Away... My favourite make up brushes!

A good brush just makes such a difference, when applying your make up.

So I wanted to share my favourites and what I use them for!

Lets get started :-)

Red Eyed Girl... How to wear burgundy on the eyes!

Burgundy is a big trend for this autumn, and I love it!

I have actually always loved burgundy eye shadows, however I understand, that it's not for everybody.

But I want to show, that you can do red on the eyes without looking like, you got punched.

I'm Lovin' It... Current Beauty favourites # 2!

It's been a while since, I did my last (and first Current favourites).

But lately I have been loving a lot of products.

Some of them new and others old reruns.

Let me just start by saying, that all the products mentioned in my "London Lovin'" post is still favourites.

So lets get started!

Nails:

Sally Hansen Miracle Cure & Sally Hansen Mega Shine:

This combination have really done a difference for my nail polish.

I use the Miracle cure for base coat and the Mega Shine for top coat.

Usually my polish starts chipping already at the end of the first day, but now it can actually last for 2-3 days before chipping.

And I love, that the Sally Hansen products are very reasonable priced, because I do go through both base and top coat quit fast.

It's a big no no!... Products I regret buying!

We all have them - Product we've bought with big hopes and happiness, and then they just let us down!

I'm normally quite good at researching and getting samples, so that I avoid a lot of wrong purchases.

However to avoid it totally, when you buy as much as I do, is impossible!

So to spare you the same disappointment, I thought, that I would tell you about the products, I regret buying!

Please note, that every one has different experiences with a product, so some of the products below, might be you favourite. This is just my opinion!

Skin- and haircare:

"Like, Like, Like".... Current favourites #1!

I love see and read what other have as their favourites.

So I want to share mine as well.

I know, that most do monthly favourites, but that's not for me. 

So it will probably be a current favourites once in a while.

But for now, here are my current favourites:-)
