December Favorites

24 Comments | Makeup

After spending way too many hours at the mall, we finally finished almost all the Christmas presents, hurray! Of course I can’t go shopping without getting something for myself too, so right now I’m chilling in my brand new PJ’s and playing around with some new makeup. I’m still trying to get used to the nude lipstick from Estée Lauder, and I’m obsessed with my new nail polishes from Tromborg. They’re amazing!

And my new favorite, which I probably shouldn’t call a favorite because I only tested it in the store, but it was so fantastic so who cares..

These shimmer cubes from The Body Shop are a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! How have I ever done my makeup without these? They give just enough of a shimmery look without being too sparkly. My eyelids now have a fabulous glow with a rich color. I love them!! They can be used over matte eyeshadow for daytime if you just want that little extra pop, or go all out with them if you’re dressing up for holiday parties etc. My favorite is the gold one, it’s just so darn pretty! They have lots of different palettes, but this one which is called 06 is definitely my favorite. And a little tips, if you apply them with a moist brush the color intensifies even more. A makeup must have this month!! Now it’s bed time, I have a rough day ahead of me tomorrow and I couldn’t be more nervous. Bah! Nighty night angels♥

  4. Siden vi er inne på sminke, jeg kjøpte ny øyenskygge for noen uker siden, fra Maybelline, men denne drysser noe så innmari :( Har du noen tips til hvordan få øyenskyggen til ikke å drysse? :)

  5. Så artig å se et tips som ikke var sponset! Det er sjelden kost både på din og andres blogg. Gir litt mer troverdighet når jeg vet du har bestemt deg for å prøve den selv, og betalt for den. Ikke meningen å være frekk, jeg er stor fan av bloggen din og deg :-)

  9. I had exactly the same reaction to the shimmer cubes when I first tried them a couple of years ago.. Now I use them almost every day.. They are AMAZEBALLS :D Best thing about them is that they are almost impossible to run out of, and they blend soo well! Happy to see I’m not the only one who’s discovered these little gems ;)

  19. Jeg syns absolutt ikke du er frekk :) Det er jo veldig sant! Nå velger jeg ut sminke fra Coverbrands selv som jeg har lyst til å teste og har hørt bra ting om, jeg ville aldri skrevet om noe jeg ikke var fornøyd med selv. Men jeg skjønner absolutt hva du mener :)

  20. For det første bør du kjøpe en god eyelid-primer! Studiomakeup og Urban Decay sine er veldig gode, men finnes masse å velge mellom. Utenom det kan du ta en cottonpad eller brettet dopapir (veldig fancy, haha) under øyet mens du påfører skyggen. Påfør litt og litt, og sørg for at all skyggen fester seg ordentlig til primeren. Så skal du være good to go, hvis det fortsatt drysser ville jeg kjøpt en annen øyenskygge :)
