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!!!

Review on Sleek e/s-pallette Chaos (with FOTD)

Finally it was my turn to try out a Sleek palette. I've been wanting to try out some matte e/s's, but it's not easy to find some good ones. And you really can se the difference between matte and shimmery when it comes to the need of good quality. Shimmery e/s's are easy to blend and you can easily get the look you want, but the matte ones are much more work.

This palette comes in a plastic see-through packaging, and for me it looks quite cheap. Don't think I should complain though... It is kind of cheap this palette. (Even here in Norway. Well, it's expensive over here when you just look at the price to compare, but when we in Norway compare with other products...) The cover is black, matte plastic, with Sleek 'written' on the whole lid in piano-black. It looks nice, but I have to get ready for war trying to open it. In other words, it seems like the lid is stuck, but using tuff girl-power... -YOU CAN DO IT! lol...

There are 12 different matte shades inside, and the lid has a mirror all over inside. It's big enough for putting on e/s without being by your make-up-table, and perfect if you have to 'put your face on' on the bus or subway in the morning. The case also contains a dobble-ended applicator, but I really prefer to use a brush.



You see the lovely colour-palette?! I think it's sooo lovely. Don't think I dare using all the colours yet, but today I tried out the white and orange.

I put on my make-up at about ten this morning, and now, eleven houres later the shaddow's just where I put it this morning! It has absolutly fantastic staying-power. Normally I get those nice lines of thick clumpy e/s in the crease after 3-5 houres, so this is... WOW! But to be fair. I've used a e/s-primer underneath.

This is what I've used for todays look...
-No7 Protect&Perfect Daycream
-e.l.f. concealer pen&brush
-BareMinerals foundation (just a littlebit round my t-zone)
-e.l.f. eyelid primer
-Sleek palette Chaos, the white on the whole lid, and the orange in the outer corner and up in the crease.
-e.l.f. waterproof eyelinerpen
-e.l.f. blusher and bronzer (only the bronzer part)
-e.l.f. luscious lipstick (don't remember the colour)

Review on e.l.f. Concealer Pencil & Brush

Yesterday a little brown box was waiting for me when I got home from my excam. Inside I found something I think will be one of my new summerfavourite, the e.l.f. studio Concealer Pencil & Brush in medium. I afraid that the colour if a bit dark for me, but the summer is right around the corner, and I think it will be perfect.

It comes in a black paper box, and on the back you can read: Medicated formula with active Salicylic Acid & Tea Tree Oil heals and clears blemishes. Provides natural looking coverage under or over makeup so blemishes disappear. The actual pencil is matte black as the rest of the Studio-range. In one end you'll find the pencilpart with a clear cap including a pencilsharpener and on the other end a blending brush.



The pencil is quite thick, and easy to hold. When applying I hold the pencil almost like if my hand was behind the pencil. Don't know exactly how to describe... But it made it easy to point the pencil right at the spot, and then I just twisted the pencil. At this point it gives too much of a cover. LOL. Well, you really can see the difference between where you have put on this concealer or not. Now is the time to use the blending brush on the other end of the pencil. And I have to say, It's a really nice thick brush. It's not too soft, but its not too stiff either. Use this in circular motions to blend out the edges form the concealer, and you'll get a soft, naturalcover-up. Me like!

Will I buy it again?! Definatly! Well, there's one thing... Next time I'll get it in one colourtone lighter. Want to try it out?! You'll get it at www.eyeslipsface.co.uk for only £3,50 in the shades fair, light and medium. -It's a bargain!

Simple and natural summer makeup...

I think I've found my summer-faves. In the summertime I want to be outside and enjoy the sun, and the fact that it's possible to wear as little clothes as we do inside the house, also outdoors... So, to use as little time as possible inside I have to find as few and good products as I can to make a nice natural summerlook, and here they are:



On the pic you'll see No7 cleansing foam, No7 Protect and Perfect with SPF 15, elf lipgloss with SPF 15, elf correcting concealer, elf mineral booster, elf flattopped powder brush, elf shimmerpalette and elf eyebrowkit. Oh... And there's one more thing (forgot to set it up for the pic), -a nude or pastel nail polish...

This combination gives me a light coverage and an even skintone, I can highlight browbone and cheekbone, and best of all, I have a nice protection against the sun. I don't recomend this for licking the sun, but it's perfect for staying outdoors more than you do in the cold, dark winter... ;)

There's only one thing I miss... I want a natural, light, matte, good quality, cheap eyeshaddow. Do you have one that you recomend?!? Tell me!
