Review of Face Stockholm ''Volumizing mascara''!

This is honestly the first mascara that I got two examples of. I really like this one called ''Volumizing mascara'' from Face Stockholm. These tubes are old, so it's why they've an old design. It's available in six different shades; black, black brown, brown, eggplant (lilac), navy and teal (light blue). Both my mascara tubes are in the colour ''black''. Face Stockholm promises this: ''Our rich formula, thickens, lengthens and fortifies lashes. Create dramatic, enticing, captivating eyes with just one coat.'' I do agree, partly. Keep reading and I'll explain why!

(On the pictures above, have I only used one coat of this mascara. Love it!)

This is how the wand looks like. It's quite thick, but it really captures every each lash easily. It's supposed to give you a dramatic look, but I'd rather say it gives you a very natural look. I do really really really like how it turns out to be though! This is seriously one of the best mascaras I've every tried. I just love how natural it looks especially on my lover-lash-line, I don't even think my mascara from Lancôme (by the way it's time to make a review of that mascara too, sorry I've totally forgot about that!) does my lover-lashes that good as this Face Stockholm mascara!

I've had these mascaras for more than a year now, but I've barely used them (I don't know why??). Anyway what I wanted to say with that was that that the formula still hasn't drought, at all. I definitely do recommend this to you out there who are looking for a mascara that really makes your eyelashes look natural. If I've to say something negative, it would be that it doesn't give you enough volume as it promised you... Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend this mascara!

Different looks

Some different looks from the latest magazine from Makeupstore! What do you think?

The new summer collection ''Softbox'' from Smashbox

Have you seen the new summer collection from Smashbox called ''Softbox''? The definition of that name is basically natural-looking makeup, just the way that I want it during the summers!:) As I see it, there are six new lipglosses in sex different colours, and they're all looking like something that you can wear everyday, which is great. And then there's a palette that contains 12 different colours, and there are a lot of brown shades in it, which will also look great this summer (and autumn?). You'll probably be able to do a really cool brown smokey eye-look with this palette! According to me, there's nothing ''special'' about this collection if you know what I mean, but I suppose it's a collection that you can basically be using everyday. GREAT!

New: Max Factor ''Xperience Weightless Foundation''!

A few days ago I bought this foundation from Max Factor called ''Xperience Weightless Foundation'' in the shade ''60 Medium Sandstone''. As you know there's a whole ocean out there with foundations.. I looked for a foundation that would be appropriate for the summer. The reason why I chose this foundation was because it said that it had a quite light coverage and because it has SPF 10, which is awesome! I'll definitely give you a review of this product later when I've been able to try this!

Bronzing: Budget-Medium-Expensive

1: ''Lumene Sun Mineral Bronzing'', this bronzing powder comes in two different shades. It's minerals (don't know if it's pure minerals though) and it has got great reviews. The cheapest one of them all too! 2: ''IsaDora Bronzing Powder'', this product is great! There's a looot of product, if you haven't seen this product I just have to tell you that it's HUGE! It's very long-lasting also and it comes in 1 shade. 3: ''IsaDora Mineral Bronzing Powder'', this was the bronzing powder I bought for a few weeks ago. It's loose powder, which I personally LOVE! The packaging is awesome and so is the product. I highly recommend this one.

1: ''MAC Bronzing Powder'', this product promises you a shimmery but natural result. It has great reviews and comes in 5 different colours, so you won't have any problems with finding the right shade for you! 2: ''Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights'', I was so close to buy this product but I didn't (don't really have any explanations for that). This product is suitable for every skin-tone, and it also comes in another palette-colour. 3: ''Makeupstore Bronzing Powder'', you can use this product on bare skin or over a foundation (as with any other bronzing-products basically). This one is available in 4 different shades.

1: ''YSL Terre de Soleil'', this is an awesome product considering that this is the only of those 9 products in this post that contains SPF (according to the web page), it has SPF 10 by the way. This will give you a transparent feeling and it comes in 3 shades. 2: ''Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Duo'', this one is available in 2 different shades. It's non-oily and makes your skin appear glowy and fresh. 3: ''Lancôme Tropique Minerale Loose'', this is also a loose-powder, which I like. It's also a mineral product so big plus for this bronzing powder. It does also contain aloe-vera which protects and helps your skin to heal. Seems great!!

I can win a kick-ass palette!

Doesn't this palette look amazing? I'm in a competition right now where I can win this lovely palette! Now I just have to hold my thumbs and pray so that I can hopefully win this... I can always hope, even though I don't think that the chanse is so big that I'll win this considering that there are quite many people who are participating in the competition. Anyway, just wanted to show you the palette. You can find it HERE by the way! :)

Review of Lumene Primer ''Beauty Base Crystal Radiance''

A while ago I bought this primer from Lumene, which is a famous brand from a Scandinavian country. I wanted to try this one because the brand is famous for their natural containing products and the price was also good! I would say it approximately costs £10, which I consider is an OK price for a primer (for beginners in this kind of subject)! :). It's supposed to give your skin a natural-looking radiance and make it looking fresh and younger. It's also said on the bottle that it'll give you an even base.

I tried the primer on my hand because I think it's easier to capture it there than in your face (hope that's okay). I really like that it's a tube (and not just a pot), which is hygienic and makes it easy not to get too much of the product at once. The formula is white and I can see some traces after pink also, this is of course only now because when you've worked the product into your skin it'll get transparent. Judging from this spot with product on my hand, I can see that this product contains quite much glitter, which will make your skin glow.

Here are two pictures on before and after. And what do I think about the difference? It's not as visible as I did hope it would be to be honest. My skin does look more glowy though, but with make-up on after this, you can barely see that I've been using this primer, unfortunately. Does my make-up last longer with this primer then? I'd say a little bit longer than without this, but then you need to use quite much of it. I'm not as oily in my T-zone when I'm using this and my skin both feels AND looks more smooth! I'm having mixed feelings about this primer as you maybe can see...

I give this product:

Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance

I really wanna have this fragrance from Chanel called ''Coco Mademoiselle''. It smells amazing! Chanel describes the fragrance like this: ´´A feeling of luxuriance is achieved through two exclusive ingredients that form the signature for all CHANEL parfums: Jasmine Absolute and May Rose Absolute. These delicate flowers bursting with confidence are highlighted by a touch of Iris from Florence.´´ And it's a huge plus that beautiful Kiera Knightley is ''the face'' for the fragrance, don't you think?

New loose powder from Makeupstore!

This is what I bought a few days ago. It's called Loose Powder and it's in a colour called ''Natural''. You're using this after that you've applied a liquid (for example) foundation, and it's basically transparent, but just with some colour. This will make your face shine-free and it will make your make-up looking more matte. Without this, my foundation wouldn't look as good! It's very useful!

Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding Make-up!

Did you see The Royal Wedding that was in London yesterday? I did see it, I sat there for 4 hours (I just couldn't get away from the TV)! I cried for like half of the time haha.. Anyway the reason why I wrote this post was not because I wanted to tell you how much I cried or how much I loved the wedding. I just wanted to show you two photos of Kate's wedding make-up. I thought she looked extremly(!!!!!!) beautiful and I really liked the brown/beige/pink colours that her make-up contained. I don't think she wore too much make-up, because if she would had worn less than she did, it wouldn't had looked as good in the camera I think! :). Anyway, I think she looked soooo good!

Review of L´oréal Paris True Match Foundation!

This is my L´oréal Paris True Match Foundations that I bought for a year or so. I really like these bottles that the foundation comes in. They're practical and the pump is awesome (I prefer foundations with pumps)! The price of this foundation is really good also, it only costs approximately £10. This is great for the people who wants a budget-foundation! Anyway, I don't feel like this is an amazing foundation, BUT for the low price I can't be more than happy about it. Let's tell you why I think this way...

I really like this foundation because it's lightweight and you don't think of the fact so much that you're wearing make-up. The formula isn't oily, which is really good too, because I hate when you're getting shiny in your fore-head for example. L´oréal promises you a build-up coverage and I agree about that. I feel like you're getting more coverage the more foundation you're using, and I like it. It still won't look unnatural if you're doing this build-up coverage thing hehe. My personal opinion is that this foundation will last for maximum 9 hours(!), absolutely not more than that! Overall it's a good foundation, and I'm pleased with it.

I give this product:

New: Lancôme's Foundation brush 3

So this is what I bought last week. It's a foundation brush from Lancôme called ''Foundation brush 3''. It's just amaaaazing. I've used this approximately 3 times so far and I just can't understond how I've been able to live without this. This brush is ideal for liquid or cream foundations and right now I'm just using liquid foundations. Lancôme promises you a perfect complexion with this brush and I can't do anything else than to agree. My complexion looks amazing after using this foundation brush and I also have the perfect base!

The brush is extremly soft(!!) and it's so easy to blend the foundation in with this tool. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro, you won't fail anyway! It's said on the Lancôme web page that this brush can also be used with any kind of creamy product, like face creams, masks and tinted moisturizers. But that it's ideal for the Teint Idole Ultra. I'm so glad that I bought this brush, I don't regret it at all. You can purchase this brush for approximately £26.
