FOTD July 13th

Today I'm just staying at home, so my make up is quite neutral, but I had to try out the new stuff that arrived yesterday, GottaGlow-blush, BasicEyes-encyclopedia and SmokeyBrown-nailpolish...



For this look I've used:


Face:
-elf studio concealer pencil and brush in medium
-bare minerals foundation in medium
-elf studio blush in gotta glow

-elf studio eyebrowkit in medium

Eyes:
-elf eyelid primer
-elf basic eyes encyclopedia
-elf mascara (not the waterproof)

Lips:
-elf Superglossy lipshine spf 15 in malt shake

Now to close-ups...



On my eyes I started with the eyelid primer, before putting on the black eyeliner that comes in the encyclopedia just on the upper lashline. Haven't tried this eyeliner pen from elf before. Its the regular-line liner pencil, and I've heard that it's quite hard, but I thought it got on smoothly. Next up, eye shaddow. I used the brush that comes in the encyclopedia, and think it was great. Actually it almost picked up too much e/s since they're very pigmented. First I used the first one from the left on the second row on the whole lid, and a little bit right under the lower lashline. This is a really beautiful shimmery champagne-colour. I just have to say - LOVE! :D In the crease I used that grayish purple, number three from left, also on the second row. Think this one looks fab together with the SmokeyBrown nailpolish. Finished off with a light coat of mascara...



On my lips, one of my favourites. So wearable for all situations, Malt Shake. And SO good for the summer with it's spf 15.

Like it?!

Weee...!

My little brown box from e.l.f. arrived today. I've been waiting for forever even though it only took one week from them to me... lol

e.l.f. just got a lot of new products, and I was lucky to pick three products from the new arrival for free to try out. Lucky or what?!? :D The products I chose were

-Studio Blush in GottaGlow
-Nailpolish in SmokeyBrown
-TheBeautyEncyclopedia in BasicEyes

I ripped the box open, and have already tried out some of it. I must say, one of the e/s from the encyclopedia will be fantastic together with the nailpolish! Want to se pics? Haven't got any yet, but swatces will come. Stay tuned ;)

FOTD July 7th

Back to a more neutral FOTD (Yes, it's possible LOL) This isn't all face... I took pics of the nails too just to show more of my whole look today. Clothes (wich is grey) face are really neutral, so I've rocked up my look with a lovely nail polish...



Today I haven't used any e/s at all, therefor I made a tiny-little-bit thicker eyeliner-line on my upper lids. -Still quite natural LOL And as you can see on the close-up of my eyes... -No mascara.

For this look I've used:


Face:
-elf concealer pencil and brush in medium
-bare minerals foundation in medium beige
-elf studio blusher and bronzer, only the bronze part
-mineral booster

-elf studio eyebrow kit in medium

Eyes:
-maybelline eyelinerpen in black

Lips:
-elf Superglossy lipshine spf 15 in malt shake

Nails:
-elf nail polish in punk purple

FOTD July 6th

For todays FOTD I've used my Sleek palette again. This time I've tried the seagreen in the crease together with the white one as a base on the whole lid. It's a really neutral look even though it's a 'scary' colour. I think it matches my eyes well. What do you think?



For this look I've used:

Face:
-elf mineralinfused face primer
-bare minerals foundation in medium beige
-elf blusher and bronzer compact, only the bronzer part
-elf mineral booster

Eyes:
-elf eyelid primer
-Sleek palette Chaos, seagreen and white
-elf eyelinerpen
-elf ehhm... the dubbleended mascara, don't remember wich one...

-elf eyebrow kit in medium, only the powder part

Even though I like this look, my bf doesn't like colours like this... I guess most of my FOTD's will be neutral... lol

Have you tried?

Anyone tried the Lime Crime Magic Dust?!? And the Models Own powder e/s? Wich do you prefer??? I think this one from LimeCrime looks soo lovely. And I'm really curious 'bout that black e/s from Models Own with green glitter in it.

FOTD July 4th

My FOTD is as natural you can get it with this much make-up on. I love the natural look, and as you can see, this is very natural...

The one thing that I wish I could do better with this make-up is to be bolder while putting on my bronzer as contour. Do you have a tip for me?!?

I did'nt have any good close-ups, but I really wanted to show you this as a shout for help on the contouring part. LOL And those bags under the eyes... They just look that way every time I smile, and dissapear when I'm angry :p

On this look I've used:

Face:
-elf mineral infused faceprimer
-bare minerals foundation in medium beige
-elf concealer pencil and brush in medium
-elf studio blusher and bronzer, only the bronzerpart
-elf mineral booster

Eyes:
-elf eyelid primer from the regular line
-elf studio e/s in butternut on the whole lid
-elf waterproof eyelinerpen from the regular line, just a super thin line at the upper lash-line

Brows:
-elf studio eyebrow kit. Just a touch of the powder part

Lips:
-lip balm

Swatches of the Sleek palette Chaos

I promised to show you swatches from my new Sleek palette, and here it is. I've evened out the arm with some e.l.f. eyelid primer before swatching...



At the top from left to right: pink, yellow, beige, orange, brown and black. Bottom line from left: white, burgundy, seagreen, army-green, blue and turqoise.

As you see the colours are really well pigmented except the white and the yellow. The black one I couldn't get of my finger I used to transfer the colour from the palette to the arm by washing with water only. Oh yes, I needed lots of soap. LOL. Now I've used the palette several whole days and I have to say: I'm IMPRESSED!!!
