Jag beställde min från Hqhair.

Lisa at Omygloss  inspired (inspired? forced!) me to order Daniel Sandler Watercolour Crème Bronzer in the colour Fiji. A red creme bronzer that imitates sunkissed skin incredibly well. As you’ve probably seen in the product lists I use Lyster Cream Bronzer from Manasi Makeup nearly all the time, now I can switch it up sometimes (but not exhange it, never!) for something with less bronze which will look even mooooore natural. Fiji is the perfect “no makeup makeup” product as it’s transparent but warms the skintone up while it has the same glow as bare skin. It’s also said to be useful for mixing with foundations in the summer to tan them up a bit.

I ordered mine at Hqhair.

Texturen är torr för att vara en krämprodukt, den glider inte alls runt i ansiktet som krämer kan göra. Ändå går den på jämnt och suddas ut fint, ett riktigt bra mellanting för den med lite oljigare hy som annars brukar ogilla krämer pga kladdet. Den är även väldigt pigmenterad så även om förpackningen är liten så kommer den räcka.

The texture is dry for being a cream product, it doesn’t slide around on the face as creams can do. It still applies and blends evenly, a really good texture for people with oilier skin that often dislikes creams because of the stickiness. It’s also very pigmented so even though the packaging is small you won’t run out quickly.

Vänster: Ingen makeup. Höger: Fiji på ansiktets höga punkter plus kinderna för att imitera/framhäva utseendet av en riktig solbränna. Ser ni den subtila men ändå stora skillnaden? Jag gillar verkligen vad bronzers i färger som denna gör med huden, det får mig att känna mig råfräsch när jag inte har tid eller lust med mycket makeup.

Left: No makeup. Right: Fiji on the high points of the face plus cheeks to imitate/enhance the look of a real tan. See the subtle but still big difference? I really like what bronzers in colours like this does to the skin, it makes me feel super fresh when I don’t have time or energy for a lot of makeup.

You can’t undershand how insane I went over Shoot the Butterfly from CrowsToes when it showed up in the Llarowe newsletter. A black jelly polish with hexagonal glitter in silver and orange that flashes gold. Sooo dreamy, it looks like I’m wearing Small Tortoiseshells (a butterfly that you see all the time in Sweden during summer) on my fingers! Two or three coats was needed, don’t remember exactly. Of course it was super hard to remove from the nails but totally worth it, I’m totally longing to wear it again! Bought at Llarowe.

Förresten, någon kommenterade och sade att mina byt-sida-knappar längst ner på sidan är borta, och av någon anledning är de det. Klicka på “Om bloggen” under headern så ploppar sidebaren ner. Styr därifrån istället!

Today I’m wearing a classic brown smokey eye, one of those looks where you only look cooler the further down and in you go under the eyes. When the mascara is on it all ties together and you don’t look tired anymore.

By the way, someone commented and said that my switch page buttons at the bottom of the page are gone, and they are for some reason. Click “Om bloggen” under the header for the sidebar to pop down and manage from there instead!

Detta lack krävde tre lager för att basen skulle vara helt opak, och med det blir det ett vackert djup i glittret som skiner igenom. De vita glittren som ligger djupare blir ljust turkosa medan de röda glittren blir nästintill svarta eftersom grönt och rött är kontrastfärger och slår ut varandra. Överst ligger pyttesmå partiklar av kopparguld och glittrar. En fantastiskt rolig liten mix! Lacket är köpt på Llarowe.

I fell in love with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot from Scofflaw Varnish as soon as I saw it, however that happened as I’m often so-so when it comes to turquoise nails. Not that I dislike it, but it rarely enchants me. This time it was the combination of turquoise, red and white that got me, turquoise and red is one of my favourite colour combinations! An insane combinaton that still is easy to keep looking elegant.

This polish needed three coats to get the base fully opaque, and it gets a beautiful depth from the glitters that shine through. The white glitters that lie deeper down look light turquoise while the red glitters almost turn black because red and green are complementary colours which cancel each other out. On top there are small sparkly particles of coppery gold. A fantastic little mix! Bought at Llarowe.

St. Tropez Skin Illuminator – I want blingy legs for summer, and the Rose or Violet version of this body shimmer, well.. you’re welcome to move in! Available at Beautybay.

LUSH BIG Shampoo – I’m nearly out of my Karma Komba shampoo bar and now I’m thinking about giving BIG a go. It was really good when I sampled it last summer, plus it smells lovely!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Stained Gloss – A new line of GLOSSY lip tars will be released soon, I can’t WAIT! Sneak peek here, it sold me completely.

Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Harem & Venous – Saw them both at Temptalia recently and fell in love. The Illamasqua polishes are le bomb, totally worth every penny. Available at the Illamasqua website.

Burt’s Bees Sugar Scrub Mango & Orange – I have nearly ended my Cranberry & Pomegranate tub which I adore, so now I want to try a different scent. It’s really scrubby and oily, makes the skin feel wonderful.

What products/lines do you rest your eyes on at the moment?

KICKS Skin Treat Sugar Scrub är en kroppsskrubb som hjälper till att ta bort död hud och få fram lystern i huden. Jag upplever den en aning mildare på kroppen än vanliga sockerskrubbar eftersom den löddrar tjockt när man skrubbat med den en stund, löddret dämpar rivet en aning. Så ni som inte vill ha de vassaste av skrubbar men ändå vill ha ett bra resultat bör kolla in. Skrubben innehåller oliv-, makadamia- och aprikoskärnolja vilket ska återfukta huden, den lämnar inte huden sådär gött inoljad som vissa skrubbar gör (världens skönaste i min mening, men det är ju en smaksak!), men inte heller att jag är uttorkad efteråt. Skrubben doftar mjukt och rent av något aprikosliknande.

Finns i KICKS butiker eller på hemsidan för 129 kr.

Many of you wanted to read more about the sugar scrub from the new KICKS Skin Treat line (read more here), so I thougt I should mention my opinions on it!

KICKS Skin Treat Sugar Scrub is a body scrub that helps remove dead skin and bring out the lustre of your skin. I find it a bit more gentle than regular sugar scrubs because it foams when you’ve been scrubbing a little, the foam softens the scratchiness a bit. So those of you who don’t want very harsh scrubs but still a good result should check it out. The scrub contains olive macadamia and apricot kernel oil which is supposed to moisturize the skin, it doesn’t leave it nice and oily like some scrubs do (best feeling ever in my opinion, but that’s a question of taste!), but it doesn’t dry me out either. It smells soft and clean with a hint of apricot.

Today I finally received my latest Llarowe order! Llarowe restock at certain dates and times where the newest collections from the indie nail polish brands get available. As usual when it comes to these limited polishes you’ll have to fight to get what you want. Of course I sat there with my e-shopping finger ready hoping for the best. I got the three bottles that I wanted so I’m super excited!
