Cleansing & Pore Reducing Mask ~ Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

Innisfree, another Korean brand that I´m loving, has this wonderful mask that I want to share with you today.

This is a mask for the ones with troubled skin and that need something that cleanses the skin real good.

The Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask is a 3 in 1 product - it claimes to remove sebum, brighten skin and treat blemishes. It´s also supposed to be soothing and moisturizing to the skin.

It is made of hardened LAVA (pretty cool) and it deeply cleanses the skin and pores, this is why it makes it so good for troubled skin and impurities!

MAC Dreamy Lipglass *Review & Swatches*

I feel like this is one of the glosses I´ve been searching for all my life!

Mac Dreamy Lipglass is a semi sheer glitter gloss with a frosty/crystal finish.
The glitter is pink/gold and it has a lot of shimmer in it. I didn´t manage to catch too much of the glitters on the lipswatch picture, but it does really show when applied on the lips. I love it!
The glitter is not chunky so it´s not uncomfortable to wear at all.
It has a sticky texture, but it feels quite moisturizing

Boots Coconut & Almond Hand and Nail Cream

 
My hands have been very dry and sore lately, the weather has been harsh and I am trying out new hand lotions and cream all the time to find that special one.

This is one of my top three favorites at the moment!
First off; Boots Ingredients Coconut & Almond hand and nail cream smells AMAZING! I love everything coconut and that is the main reason why I got it. When I saw the name "coconut" I just had to have a quick sniff and I was sold. I got even more excited when I tried it because the formula is really good too!

Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Sebum Clear Facial Mist

Hi all!

Today I´m going to share with you a product I really like. It helps keep your makeup set all day!
Holika Holika is a Korean brand, and I love all the fun and extremely good quality products from Korea.

Do you use any Korean brands?

St. Tropez In Shower Tanning Lotion - Does it work?

 

I am not going to make this a very long review, because the only thing we actually want to know about this product is - DOES IT REALLY WORK?!

Loreal Paris Superstar Eyeliner

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 

I was in need of a new eye liner and it was completely random that I ended up with this one. I thought the design was cute, it was relatively new and it had a felt tip. Sold.

I was a bit suprised when I opened it because it has this fun, tear-drop shaped innovative tip! The nib is completely flexible and makes the application very easy. It holds a ton of produt and it is very pigmented. 

Maybelline Brow Satin Filling Powder Duo

 

I've been a Anastasia Brow Wiz addict for a long time now and it's a constant repurchase of mine. Recently my local drugstore stopped carrying it and my only options is to either drive for 30-40 minutes to buy it in another store or order it online and get it after a week of waiting. I don't prefer any of those options as I am a person who lives in the moment. If I want or need something, I want it right now. 

Worth the Hype? Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer *Before & After*

So I finally decided to give this one a go!

I´m always on the hunt for something that can help my pores appear smaller, and I have a box full of different primers. Most of them are ok, and probably more than ok as well, but I just don´t think I will ever get satisfied with anything unless my pores go away completely:p So I might not be the most fair person to judge a pore minimizing product, because we all know a primer won´t make any pores in the world dissapear completely. But it can make the problem less noticeable, there and then - so let´s get into my thoughts, is it worth the hype or not?

I´ve seen many other bloggers and you tubers rave about it!

I have purchased almost all of the primers from Smashbox, and I´m a huge fan.

I´m always on the look for something to reduce my pores, so naturally I had to give this one a try!

New In: MAC Blankety *Review & Swatches*

Mac Blankety, a delicate pigmented lipstick with an amplified finish.

It´s creamy with a pinky beige nude shade, and one swipe is really all you need!

It´s definitely one of my must-have nudes from Mac and it looks absolutely gorgeous with a darker lipliner!

Do you have this color from Mac?

What is you must-have nude shade?

How to treat your damaged hair:) Joico K-Pak Shampoo & Condtioner Kit!

As a hairdresser at heart I love recommending products for your hair!
I really love this shampoo and conditioner, it smells amazing and makes my hair amazing.
If your hair is damaged from let´s say bleaching and heat tools - you should try this :)

Came in this handy bag! Nice for traveling!!

This shampoo and conditioner doesn't weigh your hair down, so it fits those of us with fine hair. It also has a nice rich and creamy formula, which also makes is perfect for thicker and coarser hair!
It is supposed to repair damage, and they claim to go straight to the damaged cuticle filling in lost amino-acids, restoring the elasticity, strength and shine of the hair.

Besides Redken, Joico is one of my favorite brands!

If you are looking for a good quality shampoo/conditioner for your damaged hair, I would definitely give this a try :) It locks in moisture as well as reconstructing your damaged hair and split ends!
Combine with a good reconstructing mask about every fourth hair wash, and maybe the "split end mender" from Joico and you are off to a good start towards healthy hair!

Have you tried this?
If you have a hair care routine post on your blog I´d love to see it! :) xx

GHD V Gold Classic Kit - new straightener for my hair :)

I was in need for a new hair straightener as my old one decided to die on me. 

There´s nothing like a good quality hair straightener so I was super happy when I came across this offer. This kit has the same price as the straightener alone!

I love GHD straighteners and it is so much better for my hair than the cheap ones you can get everywhere...

I got the classic styler, paddle brush (sooo pretty!), two sectioning clips and a bottle of heat protectant.
I´ve tried the heat protectant a few times, but I don´t really know what to say about it yet.. I don´t think I´m a huge fan. It smells kinda like male perfume.. and my hair does not get soft at all... But the paddle brush is super nice and so good. Heat protectant or not, it was a pretty good deal!

The classic gold styler is suitable for all types of hair and lengths, which is nice for me because of my super thin/fine short natural hair, and for when I wear thick long extensions :)

It heats up in a matter of seconds, ready to use! You can´t choose how high or low you want the temperature, and that might be a con if you need to protect your hair a bit extra. But then simply this is not the straightener for you. I try to be careful with heat tools in general, so I don´t mind..:)

What type/brand of hair straightener do you use/is your favorite?

ST. TROPEZ Express Tanning Mousse *THE BEST*

The best self tanner I know! 

Absolutely loving this mousse, it develops quickly, you can shower it off after 1, 2 or 3 hours - depending on how deep color you want, but it continues to work and develop for at least 8 hrs.

It gives such a beautiful tan.

Apply with a tanning mitt and you won´t have a single streak or uneven patch.

Smells amazing, but unfortunately it still has that nasty self tanner smell to it after applied to the skin...

What is your favorite type/brand of self tanner?

MILANI Baked Blushes ~ Fantastico Mauve, Bellisimo Bronze, Red Vino & Rose D`oro ~

I´ve never been much of a blush-girl so my collection of blushes is not that huge. Actually, it mainly consists of these four blushes from Milani Cosmetics! Could you ever imagine? 

It gives me a sense of relaxation though - knowing I have ONLY four blushes to choose from. Fewer options is gold for a indecisive person like me. Do you know the feeling?

If you're interested in seeing more of these blushes, which have become a favorite of mine - take a look!

NARS Turkish Delight Lipgloss *Swatches/Review*

I had a little last-minute shopping spree at the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport on my way home from my holiday in Dec-Jan.

I picked up a few items and one of them was this - a gloss I´ve been wanting for a very long time!

I guess it´s quite known for being one of Kim Kardashians go-to products to get those beautiful milky pink nude lips of hers (MAC Stripdown lipliner, MAC Angel lipstick and NARS Turkish Delight lipgloss). And since I love nude lips more than anything eeelse - of course I wanted it!

*HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT* Honeybee Gardens Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation

Top left: Malibu

Top right + lower left & right: Luminous

I was introduced to this powder sometime last year by my sister and it became an instant favorite of mine.
Used as a powder foundation it melts into my skin and gives great coverage. It doesn´t dry out my skin or settle into any dry patches I may have.
I love that I can wear it both as a full coverage foundation and look fab (I can even use this if I´m going out) or if I just want a natural no-makeup look. It gives me the coverage I need and evens out my skin tone, but it doesn´t necessarily look like I´m wearing any make up at all..

Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Laquers

Finally I got around and did some swatches of these cute glosses.

BLOGTOBER 2nd - Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in "Venom" *Review & Swatches*

I guess it´s time for another lippie post!

This has actually been a draft since last fall, and I´m very grateful for that at the moment because I will be on a spending ban for probably the rest of my life right now. Haha. 

Let´s just say I got myself an apartment and it´s not too cheap. 

Well, over to the lipstick
