Lady Gaga photo Shoot!

This week I did most of the makeup for Karianne’s photo shoot! It was a lot of fun and I think the pictures turned out great! 😀 This was the first time I did skeleton makeup and I don’t think I’m very good at it, lol! ^-^ It was fun making those “lightnings” though. 😀  Check out more of the pictures, here: Karianne Kaas Photography 🙂

Gorgeous models!

 

Look at that hair 😀

My attempt at a skeleton face X)

And me with no makeup, hehe 😛

Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

Lovely Corals :)

Hi 😀 Today I thought I’d show you a more natural look, using coral colors. I think I’m going to wear this a lot more on an everyday basis, as a replacement for the normal browns. I just think it looks more fun and romantic, but still wearable! 🙂 And also, if you’re not that into having pink on your eyes, maybe you can use coral on Valentine’s Day instead? 😉 I hope you enjoy the look! ^^

False eyelashes! :D

About a month ago I bought false eyelashes on ebay and today I got a whole bunch x) It was about time they arrived, because I think I had only two pairs of lashes left! ^-^ Here’s a mountain of  220 eyelashes, lol:

There are both upper – and bottom lashes and I only spent a total of 20 $ on them! 😀 I’m so excited about making some new looks with these! Any suggestions on which ones I should try first? 🙂

I hope you’re having a great day! New look coming soon! ^-^

Beauty Portrait :)

A few days ago I did the makeup for a beauty photo shoot. 😀 Because it was going to be a beauty portrait I didn’t use lot’s of bright colors and a lot of heavy makeup. The dress that the gorgeous model (Johanne) wore, was pink, so I used a light sparkly pink color on her lid with greys in the crease. The pink eyeshadow also made her green eyes pop! 🙂

The pictures were taken by my friend and very talented photographer Karianne! You can check out more of her work, here: Karianne Kaas Photography 😀

  5. Place Mocha directly into your crease and your “outer v” area and blend it out into Cocoa Bear

  7. Then cover your entire lid with Glamorous

Orange and Blue :)

Hi 😀 I’m sorry it’s been a while since I posted a look! My computer got a virus on friday and I’ve only been able to use a mini pc to go on the internet a few times. My boyfriend fixed it yesterday, so now I’m finally able to post something again! 😀

Anyway, here is the look! A little crazy, but I love the colors and the color combination. 🙂

  • Lime Crime – Candy eyed eyeshadow helper

Sugarpill Cosmetics – Review!

Finally! Here’s my Sugarpill review! It took much longer to write than expected, so I’m sorry it’s a bit late! The Sugarpill products I’m reviewing are the two eyeshadow palettes: The Sweet Heart palette and the Burning Heart palette. Also, these five Chromalust loose eyeshadows: Tiara, Royal Sugar, Asylum, Paperdoll and Darling.

The packaging that the palettes come in is super cute and gorgeous! I love the colours and the design. The palettes themselves are really cool looking and each of them contains four eyeshadows and a large mirror. The mirror I now use every time I do my makeup. I’ve heard that some people say that the palettes are heavy and maybe they are compared to some palettes, but I’ve taken them with me a lot and never thought about the weight. 🙂

Swatches of the Sweet Heart palette:

Dollipop is a bright and beautiful matte pink colour!

Afterparty is a very vibrant, medium blue shadow, with a pearly sheen.

Midori is a very bright and pretty green eyeshadow! This colour has some shimmer to it.

Tako is a very good, matte white. You can use this for so many things: As a highlight on your brow bone, in the inner corner of your eye and on your cheekbones. You can use it on your lid and to set a white pencil liner on your lower waterline.

Swatches of the Burning Heart palette:

Flamepoint is a matte, vibrant orange eyeshadow! I think it’s a really stunning colour!

Buttercupcake is a beautiful matte yellow colour! It’s very bright and vibrant, but slightly chalky. Not a lot though!

Love + is a gorgeous, hot red! It has a matte finish with a slightly pearly sheen to it. This is a much pigmented, very true red colour! It’s the best red eyeshadow I’ve come across! Without a primer it looks very bright red and with one, it becomes more of a deep red. Also, when you fade it out, you get a very beautiful, dark pink colour!

Poison Plum: Omg! This is my favorite colour, not just of the Sugarpill colours, but my absolute favorite of all eyeshadows! It’s the most beautiful, hot purple colour ever! It’s extremely pigmented, especially with a primer underneath. It appears a little shimmery in the pan, but on the eyes it looks matte. With several layers you will definitely see the shimmer, though.

All the Sugarpill pressed eyeshadows are very bright and intense, just the way I like it! 😉 They are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend beautifully! Because Dollipop, Poison Plum, Love+ and Flamepoint contain carmine, they stain a bit. But for me, that hasn’t been a problem.

Sugarpill sells these eyeshadows in single pans as well and they are a lot bigger than many other eyeshadows! Each pan contains 4 grams/0.14 oz of product and costs 12$.  That’s three dollars less than a for a MAC eyshadow pan, which only contains 1,5 grams/0,05oz of product. So you get amazing quality eyeshadows, for a very good price! Another plus is that Sugarpill does not test on animals! 🙂

Going over to the Chromalust loose eyeshadows! They come in super cute jars, where you can see both the name of the shadow and a list of all the ingredients!

Swatches of the loose eyeshadows:    

Tiara is a metallic, silver coloured loose eyeshadow. It has a lot of glitter to it and is perfect as a highlight on your brow bone and in the inner corner of your eye. It works great as an “all over lid”- colour, especially to spice up a black smoky eye! 😉 Also, because of the tiny micro-fine particles, it will look great as a body shimmer. Weight: 4.5 grams.

Darling is a shimmery teal shadow. It contains a lot of pretty, turquoise sparkles! This was the absolute first colour I fell for out of the loose eyeshadows, and had to buy! And it has definitely lived up to my expectations! Weight: 4.5 grams.

Paperdoll is the cutest lavender eyeshadow! It has a shimmery finish and there’s nothing more to say about it, other than it’s just stunning! 🙂 Weight: 4 grams.

Asylum is a rusty red, metallic colour. This one is also beautiful and shimmery and I must say I’ve never seen a colour similar to it. I like it a lot! Weight: 5.5 grams.

Royal Sugar is the most gorgeous, bright blue colour there is! Honestly, I’m so in love with this shadow and it’s my favorite one of the loose eyeshadows! It contains a lot of beautiful, turquoise glitter which I could just stare at all day. I’ve used this colour for many things: As a lid colour, a crease colour, an eyeliner and I can’t wait to try it on my lips, my eyebrows and my nails! It would look amazing anywhere! ❤ Weight: 4 grams.

These Chromalusts are the Holy Grail for a glitter girl like me! 😀 They are super pigmented, sparkly and they look beautiful on the eyes! I think they’re easy to apply and to work with. To make them as vibrant as they can be, you can use a primer as a base and apply them wet.

When I bought my loose shadows, all of them weighed 5 grams. Now, the weight varies between 4 – 6.5 grams. This is because some colours are denser while others are fluffy, and this made the jars with the dense shadows seem half empty. Now, all the Chromalusts are filled to the top, and because the jar has no sifter, you have to be carefull not to spill any of the gorgeousness! 😉

The loose eyeshadows cost 12 $ each and that’s a very good price compared to how much product you get! I bought some of my Sugarpill products from www.sugarpillshop.com and the rest of them from http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/. The shipping to Norway took 1 – 2 weeks from the Makeupgeek store and 3 – 4 weeks from the Sugarpill shop. But I bought it during Sugarpill’s Pink Weekend sale, so that’s probably why the products took so long to arrive. I was really happy when I got them though, because I absolutely love all of the eyeshadows and I use them a lot! I also got a cute sticker of their logo with my package. You can see it in the beginning of this post. Pretty, right? 😀

Looks where I’ve used Sugarpill eyeshadows:

I know this is a very long review, but I hope it was helpful!

Sugar Candy! :)

Happy New Year! 😀 I hope you had an amazing celebration and spent the day with the people you love the most! I spent the day home with my family and everybody helped me pick out which pictures to post of this look 😀 I hope you like it ^^

I used 2 – 3 hours alone, to place the rhinestones exactly where I wanted them ( I know.. I’m a little crazy, but it’s always fun seeing the final result 😛 )

If you’re wondering, this is how I did the rhinestones:

  1. Apply some eyelash glue onto the back of your hand
  2. Take a small pair of scissors or a toothpick and dip the tip of it in the glue
  3. Apply the glue to where you want the rhinestone to be (for example on your brow)
  4. Because there’s some remaining glue on your tool, it’s easy to pick up a rhinestone with it and then place it on top of the glue on your brow
  5. Pick which colours you want the rhinestones to have and place them in the order you like.
  6. It’s as simple as that, but time-consuming 😛

Products I used:

  • Too Faced – Shadow Insuranse
  • NYX – Jumbo eye pencil in Milk
  • Sugarpill – Pressed eyeshadow in Tako
  • Sugarpill – Pressed eyeshadow in Dollipop
  • Sugarpill – Loose eyeshadow in Tiara
  • Sugarpill – Loose eyeshadow in  Darling
  • L’Oreal – Super Liner
  • Maybelline – One by One mascara
  • Nailart rhinestones and false eyelashes from Ebay

I used my lovely Sugarpill products for this look and hopefully I’ll finish my Sugarpill review by tomorrow! 😉

I hope you’ll have a fantastic 2012!

Blue for New Year’s Eve? :)

This look I wore the other day and I wanted it to match my blue nails, so this was what I came up with 🙂 I used the most beautiful blue eyeshadow in the world, Royal Sugar by Sugerpill! I just got it and I had to try out that gorgeous colour, right away 😀

Products I used:

  • Too Faced – Shadow Insurance
  • NYX – Jumbo eye pencil in Milk

  • Viva la Diva – Glitter Liner in Silver
  • L’Oreal – Super Liner
  • L’Oreal – Volume million lashes mascara
  • Too Faced – Brow envy kit

How to:

  1. Apply a primer
  2. Blend out a light green eyeshadow from your crease and up and create the shape that you want
  3. Apply a blue colour all over your lid and blend it into the green crease colour
  4. On your brow bone, apply a matte white highlight and blend it into the green
  5. I used a loose eyeshadow with silvery glitters (Tiara) in the inner corner of my eye and on my brow bone, but you can use a shimmery, white pressed eyeshadow as well
  6. If you want even more glitter, apply a silvery glitter liner in the inner corner of your eye
  7. On your lower lash line, apply the blue eyeshadow in the outer corner and the green colour the rest of the way in to the inner corner. Blend the colours together
  8. Use a white pencil liner and apply it to your lower waterline. Set it with a white eyeshadow
  9. Line your eyes with a black liquid liner and create a winged out “cat eye”
  10. Apply mascara and also false lashes if you want to
  11. Done 😀

I hope you enjoyed the look!

Gorgeous NYE look by Stacey Brennan! :D

Hi beauties! I was contacted by this sweet and talented girl Stacey yesterday, where she told me that my looks inspired her to do this amazing New Year’s Eve look, on her youtube channel. 🙂 I got so happy, because my main goal with this blog is to be of inspiration. She mentions my blog in her video, which I’m so honored by!! Also, I’m so thankful and happy about her overwhelming compliments. They mean so much to me!

Check out this tutorial and all the other great videoes on her YT channel, if you want inspiration and to learn new things about makeup! 😀 http://www.youtube.com/staceybrennan

In the video, she’s wondering if I have a youtube channel. Unfortunately, I don’t have one yet, but I’ve been wanting to start making video tutorials for a while now. So I’ll definetly start doing that soon, I just have to save up enough for a video camera first. 🙂

Thank you so much, Stacey! ❤

Blue Glittery Nails :)

I got this H&M Blue My Mind nail polish for Christmas. I really love that gorgeous and bright blue colour, so I thought I’d create a nail design with it. 🙂

Products I used:

  • Sally Hansen – Complete Care 4-in-1 Nail Treatment
  • H&M – Blue My Mind nail polish
  • Seche Vite – Dry Fast Top Coat
  • NYX – Glitter on the go in Cool Blue
  • Blue nailart rhinestones from Ebay
  • DUO – Eyelash adhesive

How to:

  1. Apply a base coat
  2. Apply your favorite blue nail polish
  3. Make your nailpolish last longer by applying a top coat
  4. When your nails are dry, cover your nail (except for the tip of the nail where you want the glitter), with a piece of paper. This will create a sharp line when you apply the glitter.
  5. Apply a clear nail polish to the tip of your nails and cover this area with blue glitter. I used a flat synthetic brush to pick up the glitter and place it gently onto my nails.
  6. Remove the paper
  7. When this is dry, apply blue rhinestones along the glitter line
  8. All done 🙂

  5. Create an “outer v” with a small amount of Corrupt. Don’t pick up too much of the eyeshadow, because it’s very pigmented and we just want it to darken the outer corner a little bit, to give the look some depth.
  6. From the outer corner of the eye, bring Corrupt slightly in along your lower lash line
  7. Blend Mocha over the black “outer v” for a more soft effect
  8. Apply Shimma Shimma to the inner corner of your eye and on your brow bone, as a highlight
  9. Use a small pointed or angled brush to apply Corrupt close to your upper lash line. Wing it out and blend it a bit, to create more of a smokey look. Hehe, the colour is so black that it looks like a liquid liner. I’m not complaining 😉
  10. Fill in your lower water line with a white eye pencil
  11. Apply mascara and also false eyelashes if you want to
  12. And the look is complete! 🙂

Makeup Geek Starter kit – Review!

When the founder of Makeup Geek, the gorgeous Marlena, added eyeshadows to her makeup line, I just had to try them out! I pre ordered the starter kit which contains 8 eyeshadows, 5 matte and 3 shimmery ones. As you can see, the packaging is very similar to the MAC eyeshadow refills, but personally I think these are much prettier! 🙂

First of all I have to mention that their shipping was super fast! The day MUG got these beauties in store it took only one week before I got them! And I live in Norway, so I’m used to getting packages from The US 2 – 4 weeks after ordering them, and sometimes even longer! :/ So I was very happy about that. 😀

Now, on to the eyeshadows. I absolutely love them ❤ They’re extremely pigmented and the smoothest eyeshadows I’ve ever tried! They just feel like velvet on your skin. They’re also easy to apply and I have no trouble blending them. The colours Marlena has picked out for this kit are gorgeous and will work great for any occasion; There are matte colours you can wear during the day and more shimmery ones that you can use at night. Underneath you can see some swatches I did of the eyeshadows, but I don’t feel like the pictures do them justice!

I’ve tried out these eyeshadows for a few days now and I’ve done a few looks with them, that I’m going to post soon!

Purely Naked is a nude coloured eyeshadow which has some shimmer to it. This one would be perfect for blending out colours in the crease or as an all over lid colour, for a natural daytime look.

Mocha is a warm medium brown colour with a matte finish. I would use this as a crease colour.

Cocoa Bear is a warm, reddish brown colour. This one is also matte and I would wear it on my lid or in my crease. I really love this colour and I can’t wait to show you a look with it! 😉

Glamorous is another one of my favorites! It’s a metallic bronze gold with a shimmery finish. It is very nice and creamy and it would be perfect to wear as a lid colour at night time!

Shimma Shimma is also a shimmery eyeshadow. It’s a beautiful champagne colour which works great as a highlight. This eyeshadow is really soft and I think it might be my new favorite highlight colour. 🙂

Corrupt is incredible! It’s the blackest black eyeshadow I’ve tried! It’s more pigmented than my former favorite, matte black eyeshadow, (Stiletto from the Too Faced Naked eye kit), and it’s even better than MAC’s Carbon! Need I say more? 😉

Purple Rain is a deep, matte finished purple. This one is not as pigmented as the other shadows, but I think it’s great and the colour is lovely! It would work great as a crease colour or on the lid, for a purple smokey eye.

Unexpected is a light pink/purple colour with a matte finish. I think this shadow would look very pretty on the lid and also it would work great to blend out colours in the crease.

That was all of the colours. They fit perfectly into empty palettes, such as the Z palettes (I just ordered a pink one 🙂 ) and the MAC palettes. They are not tested on animals and they’re both Talc – and Paraben – free!

When it comes to the weight, the MUG eyeshadows give you 1,8g / 0,064oz of product. This is a bit more than the MAC eyeshadow refills contains, (1,5g / 0,05oz), and you get them for half the price of a MAC one! Still, the Makeup Geek eyeshadows are of a very high quality and I feel like some of them are even better than the MAC eyeshadows, so they’re definitely worth checking out!

Now, there are 40 more eyeshadows you can choose from on Makeupgeek.com. They look gorgeous and I’ll definitely buy more of them. The ones I have to get are Razzleberry, Unicorn, Neptune, Shimmermint, Poolside, Chickadee and Mango Tango! Very creative names, don’t you think? 😀 Here’s a link to the eyeshadows if you want to check them out: http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/eye-products/eyeshadows/makeup-geek-eyeshadows.html?p=1

Individually, the eyeshadows cost 5,99 $ and the kit I ordered, with 8 colours, costs 45$. They ship worldwide and as I said, the shipping is very fast. 🙂

I don’t think I have anything negative to say about these beautiful eyeshadows. I just have to say “You’re very welcome in my makeup bag!”

Stars: 5/5 😀

I hope this review was helpful and don’t be afraid to ask any questions about the eyeshadows. 🙂
