byredo.

I've been wearing this perfume for the past three months and it's so bloody nice. Byredo is a Stockholm based fragrance house that was only founded six years ago but seems to be doing pretty well. I know i'm hooked.

the lipstick.

This is my friend Emma's lipstick. All her lipsticks looks like this. Why? Is she using a new great technique that I should know about? Interesting.

cream.

This was a christmas present from my friend and flatmate Tess. She knows that I'm a big fan of Diptyque's beauty stuff and scents. This hand cream is brilliant. Think i've become slightly addicted.

Vanilla.

A new me. Or at least a new perfume. From Diptyque.

the foundation.

During the spring/summer months I don't use any foundation. I always think that it's good for the skin to breath for six months of the year. And also, it's hard to always match the foundation with your skin tone when you've got a tan.. But October month is creeping up and... my face needs it. Clinique's super moisture makeup is my all time favourite.

buy online.

Most of my beauty products I buy online nowadays. Just because it's easy and I know what I want. Also it's cheaper. And they always add loads of free samples of stuff to try with the delivery. And that I like. There is nothing worse than department stores that are cheap with giving out samples, even though they've got loads of them behind the beauty counter. I know, because I've had plenty of friends that's been working behind those department store beauty counters. I mean who wants to buy a face serum for £60 if you haven't even tried it on your face. A little test on the back of my hand doesn't convince me to buy an expensive product. Not sure what I wanted to say with this post. Just saying.

MONDAY

Just wanted to recommend this eyeliner from MAC that I bought a couple of days ago. Finally I've found one that stays on ALL day. Great stuff.

Miller Harris

Love these mini candles from Miller Harris. Three candles, three different scents. Great pressie for someone.

Velvet Eyes.

Check out this new beauty concept by Dior. Velvet Eyes.
These eyeliner stickers have been created by Dior makeup artists. You basically just stick them on like a fake tattoo. Brilliant.
They're available in Selfridges from 8th September. I wanna try.

found it.

Isn't it great when you find things that you thought were lost forever. Found my beloved lipstick behind a drawer! It's the perfect shade of red/orange.
Name: 'you say tomato'
From: MAC.

haunted by this scent.

My friends, I've got to tell you about this hand cream. When I was in Italy last week my sister told me about this hand cream she'd bought Fabrizio. It looked really nice so I had to try it. And my friends...the scent of this hand cream is absolutely Amazing! I want the perfume of this scent, I want to bathe in it. It is so addictive. And your hands get smooth as a baby's bottom. If you would ever come across it. Buy it.

beauty stuff

I bought this today after a friend recommended it to me. Dove summer glow, a moisturiser with a subtle self tan that gradually gives you abit of colour. I really need this. I'm going on holiday on thursday and my legs are pale. Really pale. And I don't feel like messing around with fake tan, so I thought I would try this. Feeling abit torn about buying the one for normal to dark skin.....i'm more like super pale to pale.... whatever. I'll give it a try!

Flake Away.

I just need to recommend this product to all you ladies (and men) out there! This scrub from Soap & Glory is fantastic!
First of all it smells divine. Second, it's super grainy and scrubs really well making your legs feel super soft. I used fake tan the other week and as my tan was slowly flaking off, my legs were starting to look more and more like snakeskin. Not a sexy look! This little tub solved that problem, thank god.
And third, it's cheap. £6 for the big tub and £2.35 for the little tub. You can buy them in Boots.
Think I might have found a scrub I'm gonna stick with. And also, I know it says on the tub that it's for the legs, but i will use it all over my body!

Brighton Rock!

My new favourite lipstick. Brighton Rock from Topshop. The perfect pink.

you glow girl.

Tuesday beauty tip.
Skin Glow from Topshop. I highlight cheeks, eyes and body. Very good, and not too expensive. £10.

Red lips.

When the spring/summer season arrives I always tend to switch to wear more softer pink/nude colours on my lips. But reading the May issue of UK Elle I think I'm gonna continue doing red and dark colours on my lips throughout the summer season. Why? Because it's hot!! Red lips never go out of season!

Jan Marini

What a beautiful day! The sun totally changes my mood. To a much better one. When I go out I use this. Everyday. SPF 30. Good stuff.

bubblegum

My new lipstick. Extremely pink.

In my shower.

Ok Josie M. This post is for you.

The beauty stuff that I use everyday in the shower are these.
I love them all dearly.

Dermalogicas Special Cleansing gel.
It's great. I've tried loads of facewashes but this one IS the best. Removes all makeup (even dark heavy makeup after a night out) And also it foams, i like that.

Redken colour Extend shampoo and Conditioner.
This is what I've been recommended for my hair type. And it's also great for colour and highlighted hair. They both smell really nice and the hair feels soft and nice after. That's why I keep buying them.

Dove body wash. I like the one with the scent of cucumber and green tea. I never buy expensive body washes. Seems like a waste of money. They all feel and do the same. This one is £1 in Boots or in the supermarket.

Nivea Natural Oil. Nice body wash, because it's an oil it makes the skin super soft. And great for dry legs.

NUXE Tonific Exfoliation. A good body scrub. On the package it says the scrub contains bamboo oils, amazonian plants and plant powders, that sold it to me, haha.. it does work. But I do know there is cheaper ones out on the market that work just as good. I've got friends that even make their own scrubs with sugar and olive oil, works perfect.

Bronze yourself

I buy this bronze cream every time I go back to Sweden. It's brilliant and cheap. (pharmacies own brand) I use it as a body bronzer/moisturizer when I go out, i know it's for the face but it's so cheap so it's doesn't really matter, you don't need alot anyway. The skin looks so bronzed and glowy. Sorry, realized that this turned out to be a beauty tip only for Swedes but there you go...
