Beauti-fall: Easy striped nails

Hey yo to the ey-o! I'm here with another nail-design for the fabulous season of fall! (even thought it's almost practically over)

So this nail design is really good for any nail length  Also it's really versatile, use your favorite colours of fall to mix something good together! Besides, I got a lot of compliments on this easy nail design, maybe you'll get lucky too ;)
This hereby terminates my beauti-fall series for this year, it might or might not come back next year, we'll see.

Beauti-fall: Doin' Sedona

Hey you cool guys. So one of my birthday gifts was an awesome collection of all kinds of make-up and some of that make-up was two loose pigments from youngblood. (See them in my birthday haul)

Therefore, today I decided to spice up my neutral eye with these pigments. The most obvious colour is Sedona, a dark reddish pigment that I simply love in this look!

I do also realize that I look terribly angry in this photo - I am not. I was trying to do my "cool" face, which I after today discovered does not exist ;)

How do you spice up your everyday neutral eye?...

Beauti-fall: Bondage nails (!?)

Hello you beasts! I was in the mood to try something new and fun, so I decided to do the so called "braided nails" which is supposed to come out like this: 

                                             ¨

But of course, since it's me - I failed. So in all of my despair I decided to make some extra lines and add some more colours. This is how it turned out:

So, not exactly braided nails like they were supposed to look, but still something along those lines. To me it kind of looks like bondage, not in a dirty way though ;) I still think that with the colours I used this is a very nice fall nail-look.
Have a great day!

Beauti-fall: Intense going out look!

Hey guys. Yesterday I was bored, so I decided to play around with some loose pigments my friend gave me and I hadn't had a chance to use yet. This is what happened:

Not edited (other than cropped). The yellow lighting from my lamp washed out the intensity of the eyeshadow, but it softened up the skin, made it glowy and made the blush stand out.

Not edited (only cropped).  Here it's only the white light from my blitz that lightens up. It toned down the cheeks and enhanced the eyes - one can never win with electric light. (Yes this is a different lip colour)

Edited, just because I couldn't help myself ;)

This look is very intense, both on the eyes and cheeks. Put on your favorite party dress and be prepared for a night out! This look is definitely what I'll be wearing next time I go out.. Or just want to freak someone out ;)

Goodiebox: August 2012 - Hair

Hey wait, Goodiebox AUGUST!? Yes... Why?
1) Received this in the first days of September.
2) It has been standing out for ages, I don't know why I haven't gotten around to it earlier? ;)

So the theme of the months was hair! Aligning up perfectly with my Project Hair ;)

 Silica, for hair, skin and nails. The first couple of days I took this supplement I felt a huge difference in how much my hair was shedding, but after a while I feel like the effect kind of took off. I don't know if it did or if I was deceiving myself?

50 ml of Absolute Beautifying Potion Oil from Davines, and may I say that this is a completely divine oil! It makes you hair so smooth and delicious! To the the right we have 100 ml Conditioning Whipped Creme called Milk Shake - I don't really get the name but the product is amazing! It smells like vanilla-sugar whipped creme goodness and kind of looks like canned whipped-creme, so cool!

Light'N shine lip glaze from GOSH in the colour 101. It's one of those super cool glosses with mirror and lights in it - coooool. I really like dark red lipglosses so I was very happy to receive this! This is a full-size product.

Some smaller samples, John Frieda frizz-ease Curl Around shampoo and conditioner sample, a frizz-ease hair serum, L´Oréal Smooth Ultime Taming Creme and a small Cacharel Catch me if you can perfume sample.

I promise that I'll make a post RIGHT AWAY when I receive my next Goodiebox, however I don't know when that will be because the danish Goodiebox service isn't working well - at all.
BY THE WAY! I have a gigantic announcement! Yesterday at 15.47pm I was blessed to get my first little (and likely to be my only) niece! I'm going to see her in 3 hours for the first time with my daddy whose now a grand-daddy! Her name is Mille (English equivalent is Milly) and she's a quarter Greenlandic since my brother is half and her mother is all Danish. Very very exciting! I'll also be posting a little haul of the gifts I'll be buying for Mille this upcoming week. Have a great day everyone, ciao!

Beauti-fall: Warm taupe

Hi guys! Are you ready for a beauti-fall makeup look? This is my idea of a nice and beautiful everyday cool fall, but still warm, look.

1. Prime your lids with a primer and/or apply a cream eyeshadow any neutral colour so the eyeshadows has something to stick to.
2. Apply a taupe/grey colour all over your lid except for the inner corner.
3. Apply a beige/skin colour shadown in the inner corner.
4. Bring a cranberry/dark red in your crease. If you're going out or just want more smokeyness, you can add a darker brown to the crease.
5. Sweet some of the taupe and beige beneath your lower lashline to tie the look together.
6. Mascara!
(7. Fill in your eyebrows and add highligter to your browbone and inner corner if you like.)

For the cheeks I used some toned down pink, nothing big or fancy. And for the lips I used a dusty rosa colour and added some gloss for the goodness of it.

I hope you like this look, I know I'll definitely be wearing this alot for the fall and winter.
P.S. do you like it better when I explain what I did instead of just showing a picture of my makeup?

Halloween ideas 2012!

Hello people!
As you might or might not know, I live in Denmark and here we don't really celebrate Halloween. Over the course of the past couple of years Halloween has become a bigger and bigger event though under the influence of America. However, the simple thing that Halloween isn't celebrated in Denmark and I'm personally not going to any Halloween events, I thought I'd share some ideas for Halloween looks.

First up we have a pretty classic doll-eye. I do want so say that I don't think this went really well, but hey I tried and that's what counts. Plus, my eyebrows are so friggin' big and bushy I couldn't cover them and I've never worked with latex before so covering them with that didn't work at all! ;)

BUT THIS LOOK! Omg, ME GUSTA! As soon as I had completed this look I simply couldn't stop staring at myself, wishing I was going to a Halloween party just so I'd be able to wear this! (I think this is also kind of a doll look. If I were to wear this I'd pair it with a babydoll dress.)
Note: Both of these look are done off of a picture/inspired of.

Also, this actually wasn't even done for you or for Halloween, I made these looks because I'm going to be doing the makeup for a foto-shoot my friend has arranged and will shoot. I'll be making look number 2 on the model - terribly excited to go on a shoot and do makeup even though it's just a hobby shoot.
What are you going to be wearing for Halloween?
