Aliya Lando Tutorial - My first makeup video

Hi guys. 

Due to stress and exams I haven't been very active. 

However, two weeks ago I made my first ever makeup-tutorial on Youtube, I hope you all will go watch it! 

I'm having some bugs with it, since it won't say exactly how many views I have, and the quality isn't the best since I don't have a proper camera. But I'm improving every time. 

On the site-note, DO TURN ON THE SUBTITLES! Otherwise you're just gonna sit there and watch me do my makeup without explanation. 

I've added my products used in the description as well. 

Also, here's some more photos of Aliya Lando to compare. She is a super-beautiful Mavrin-model, and has the cutest face. She's (as far as I know) russian, but I have no idea about her age. 

Here's her VK-profile: http://vk.com/aliya_lando

Isn't she gorgeous? I envy her big brown eyes and tanned skin! And she has a super slim body as well. 

If you don't have a VK-profile and want to follow Aliya, don't worry. Her Instagram is linked in her VK profile. 

Next tutorials will be (so far):

BJD Doll Makeup ~ Doll inspiration

Hi guys!

I've been going through pages of Tumblr searching for these cute things called Ball Jointed Dolls, short BJD. Basically a type of supercute yet almost frightening collection dolls. I'm not sure about the concept, I have no idea about what their point is, but their face and makeup is utterly adorable! (And their hair is gorgeous, and their fashion sence better than mine!) 

Click photos to enlarge.

You can get God knows how many different kind of dolls, but I found a few who has makeup that I really like and I wanted to try my best to copy their perfect facial structures and cutsy makeup. 

I'm just gonna show you the ones I find that I like the most. I hope to recreate all their looks!

None of doll-photos are mine, credits to their rightful owners! 

Really cool and actually rather realistic-looking (compared to the rest). I really like this one doll! She looks ready to kick ass. 

She's dreamy and a little scary, but her pinky-black makeup looks really awesome. Almost like a magical creature. 

I like how you can see the makeup so clearly. Orange-tinted lips and cheeks, light straight brows and grey shadows on the lid. It's a really cute simple makeup. And her lids are huge in the most beautiful way!

This look looks challenging, and I really want to see if I can make it! It's colourful too!

I'm really unsure about this look, as it'll take lots of time and lots of makeup. If I have all the necessary items and the time this one will be the funniest!

That's all I have in mind right now, if I find something more interesting I'll add it for sure! 

Please stay tuned for upcoming makeup tutorials. You're probably also tired of review by now anyway, haha~

Bye bye ♥ 

SPRING LIPS - Lipsticks & Glosses

Hi guys!

A few things are still getting fixed on my blog, but this is how it is for now. If you like it, feel free to tell me in the comments, it will be greatly appreciated!

Still having a few troubles with the "Comments RSS" and "Entries RSS" sections, so just ignore those for now. 

You can click the pictures to enlarge.

It's turning into spring now, the weather is getting warmer and really sunny, but the flowers haven't come out just yet. 

I am and have for long been a super lipgloss- and lipstick fan. Do you guys have favorite colours this spring? I like to save the darker colours for winter and wear some light, naturel lips during spring, and then more neon-colours (especially orange!) in summer. 

First here's my nature coloured lips ony wearing Maybelline Baby Lips 

First lipsticks are from Dior, both very cute pink colours! It's Dior lipstick #503 and #517

Next one is a gift from a friend, a Chanel-lipgloss. It has almost no colour, but a lot of shine and glitter, and it's super sweet and naturel!

Etude House Milky Lipgloss is the cutest gloss ever, and for a gloss rather pigmented too. It gives you ultimative dolly-looking lips! So, so adorable! And also good for people with small lips like mine.

Heading towards the end, here's Etude Houses' liptints in the orange and red colour. (They have such strange name, I can never remember them, but they are easy to recognize.) The orange one is naturel and subtle, and red for a pop of colour. Both are so nice and effective as tints!

The last one is the super pigmented liptint from TonyMoly. Really good for a tint, I'm always amazed!

Hope you like it, tell me which one is your favorite! 

Here's all together: 

My favorite is probably the Etude House Milky Gloss. I love the cute, glossy-effect, but it lasts quite short sadly. 

Alright, that's all for this post, I will be back soon!

TonyMoly Crystal Blusher Review

Hello everyone. 

Long time no see! This is my second last review from my korean haul from 2013. Almost done with it. It took ages! The next review is the Etude House Tearliner, and this review is the TonyMoly Crystal Blusher. 

Click photos to enlarge!

Here's some pictures with and without flash. 

The pictures I had of the blush from when it was new is sadly gone, due to having my old harddisc killed. So these are from when it's already used. It was of course new and untouched when it arrived!

The colour is really hard to swatch, and I therefore can't show you the colour on the skin. I apologize for this. 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧

The colour is beautiful carrot-orange, in a way that it fits my skin, and I like it. It has some shimmer/glitter in it too, so it's not matte if that's what you'd go for. However it's not visible on pictures, only in real. It stays on all day, however not waterproof/resistant. The colour is super nice and does match the pictures though!  

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Very cheap for what I consider a huge amount of product. The blush is very big, but costs close to nothing. Yay! 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

Touching it with my fingers it has a smooth and soft texture, it feels just like a highclass product actually. It's a supernice texture for brushing too, and it feels light on the skin. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ 

The design is not as cute, but it's very simple and pretty. 

Cons: 

Can't really think of any! I would repurchase this another time. 

That's my ultra-short review for now, hope you enjoy. 

Ending with an old picture from 2011, because I don't have anything else right now. Have a nice day! 

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Review

Hello everyone!

I am finally back with a review from this korean haul in 2013. This time it's the eyebrown pencil from the popular South Korean brand Etude House! 

Let's first take some pictures of the product! I think the design is adorable ♥ 

The colour is brown, so I'm sorry that it looks so dark, almost black, on the pictures! I have trouble taking pictures because as soon as I am home from school it's already dark here in the wintery Scandinavia. So please forgive me that, but it really is brown!

The pencil works kind off like a duo-pencil, the browpencil in one end and a small eyebrow brush in the other. Very perfect, but not very travelsize-friendly. 

Close-up for up the pencil. Quite a decent amount of product in it! (Not only what you can see ofcourse)

Close-up of eyebrow brush.

Alright, let's try the product. Sorry for the blurryness of the first picture. My naturel eyebrow is slightly lighter than my haircolour since I trim it, it's a little messy and has no shape. I don't pluck my brows anymore, because I usually conceal the extra hairs or have my eyebrows really thick.

I am a huge fan of thick, straight korean eyebrows it gives me a young and innocent look! But I am also a fan of the arched, sexy look. So I'm gonna challenge the eyebrow pencil to both! 

Naturel brow: 

So I hope you get the idea even though this picture is blurry. The rest is not, so don't worry. It's light, out of shape, and no way how I like it. I put lots of focus into my brows because they do a lot for a face. Never forget your brows! 

Korean-inspired straight eyebrows:

Groomed and coloured in brows. It honestly looks better without the crazy flash, but as there is no sun to see it's just not possible. 

Arched brow: 

I do this when I want to have a party, mature or sexy look. The straight look belongs to my everyday. I groomed them upwards instead of straight and filled them in more than my naturel brows so they look thicker. 

So what do I think? 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's very resistant and stays all day, but not waterproof. It's gives a lovely colour and can be build up, it can be naturel as well as dramatic. The brush is super great! It's a bit harsh but perfect for grooming your brows in place. Use hairspray or browgel if you want it to stick all day, or spring it in your purse.  

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Super cheap product! But if you use it everyday it's also soon goon, but you can easily afford it, and the quality fits the price (the quality is not super, but it's perfectly average). 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know how to describe this. It's a quite harsh product, yet it's softer than your typical drugstore eyebrow pencil. It's comfortable, and you don't have to drag it against your skin to get the colour from it. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

It's simple, it's duo-function, it's cute just like all Etude House-products! Would love it to have a more travel-friendly size though. 

Cons: 

I actually had to buy this twice, because it breaks so easily! I may have done something wrong, but each time I managed the break the pencil, it would fall out and be useless. But that's really all I can think of. 5 stars to Etude House! 

That's all for this review, thanks for reading!

"No excuses"-eyeliner + BOY london cap

HELLO!

I am back, after having not had time to blog for ages! I am so sorry, I've been busy and down, put I have some time this weekend to post something, so I am taking the chance! 

This time I will push the reviews aside, because I feel that recently it's all I do. 

I got an idea that popped up in my head when my girlfriends started complaining about how they just can't change their everyday-looks, and I went "huh?"

Power of makeup girls! Just something as simple as different eyeliner makes a whole new person (in my opinion), and it can tone up and tone down your look, and make it new! 

I will be giving you, all my girlfriends, and every girl who ever thought their everyday look was boring some ideas on how to spice up your look! Here are 7 ways to do easy, fast and everyday-friendly styles of eyeliner! 

Here's my eye with nothing: Very boring, small and I have the average scandinavian eye and eyeshape. Booh! 

By the way, the quality of these pictures are NOT very well, but I hope you can bear with me. It was super hard to flash my eyes way up close, so I had to crop the pictures a lot. Truely sorry! ♥ 

Let's get on some eyeliner! 

#1 "The basic line"

Pale no-mascara lashes hahah ~ This line is the basic and probably most used line. Simply just line your eyes as close to your lashes as possible! It's basic and the quickest, and opens your eyes and adds some focus and depth. 

#2 Cat-eyes 

Very quick as well. Super easy with an angled eyeliner brush, but hard to get even on both eyes. Takes a little practise the first times, but looks lovely on almost all eyeshapes. You can make the line smaller or longer depending on what you wear and your eyeshadow. I love this eyeliner with red tinted lips! 

#3 "Lower lashes"

To spice this up even more add some colour in the "hole" between the lines! It makes your eyes big and lively, and drags a lot of attention in the daily life! Using a brush it's not hard to master. 

#4 Egypt eye

Cat eye, egypt eye, arabic eye. This style has many names. It's cool and stylish, and makes your eyes deepset and gives them a boom of attention! This type changes the eyeshape the most in my opinion. It looks pretty and excotic with some red/yellow/orange eyeshadow colours as well, and it's even better for the tan people, or brown eyes! 

#5 Dragged downwards

I think this is also called "tired eyes". It can give you the puppy eye effect, and can be worn very cute. Looks great with a pair of falsies applied at the end too, that will really give the puppy eyes effect! 

#6 "Ulzzang"-inspired puppy eyes 

This is the base-eyeliner for when I make my usual ulzzang-inspired look. It's very thick and heavy, but add some sparkle/shimmer or highlight and you quickly will make everyone go "awww". And it takes only five minutes! 

#7 Winged eyeliner

Similar to the cat-eye, but instead of going upwards, it's more "straightened out". It's super everyday-friendly and adorable. Can be even more simple by making the line less thick or the wing shorter. 

So that's it! Now you will not have have any excuse for showing up with the same look every single day, right? Go ahead and try something new! Whether it's your eyeliner, a new lipstick or a blush, don't look the same everyday! 

Also, I just recieved my BOY london hat, so I will shortly show off/review it, because I am so happy about it!

I love BOY londons collections, and I love the brand. They make the most awesome clothing! I finally recieved my cap from Ebay, and the quality is top despite the price being so low! Inside the cap the BOY london cap is printed all over, and it's unisex size, hence a little big for my small head. 

It's a simple cap with the letters "BOY" all across it, and underneath the cap, it says "GIRL". Total love! Comes in several colours, but most "famous" in black and white (this is the white version). 

So are you a BOY? 

Or a GIRL? 

(If you ever want the pictures larger, just click on them!)

That's all for this entry. Stay tuned, pinky promise I will be more active! 

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Review x 2

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posting. 

But I for once have a valid excuse other than my lazyness, because not only did I work really hard on this review - the whole weekend I fought intensevly with a virus on my pc! Not before today I got a friend to help me, so super much thank you to Steven! I owe him! But my PC is finally up and works properly again. 

Now I am here with not one, but two reviews! I will be reviewing Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in the orange and red tint. You have seen my orange tint from my korean haul. I recieved my red tint too late, hence I didn't have it yet! 

Let's get to the review, right? 

Etude House Fresh Chery Tint in red and orange:

Orange: 

(Quite obviously taken at two different times haha) 

And the two babies: 

Orange:

Red: 

Effectivity & Colour: 

Orange:✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ Red: ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

The orange works wonders, no doubt. It makes your lips pop, it's shiny and cute, and perfect for pouty lips. But the colour makes me so unsatisified. There is barely any colour at all, especially compared to the red one. Maybe it's just my naturel colour of my lips, but the colour is really sensitive. You need to bring your tint in your purse. It is not water, food, or kissing-resistant! 

However, the red tint has amazing colour! Very sharp and dolly, and very resistant. Actually be a little careful, because it almost staints your skin. I showered, brushed my teeth and slept, and the day after it was still there! 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦  ✧

Very cheap, but also no colour. Will not repurchase in this orange, but possible in red or another colour. A nice amount of product in the container. 

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I like it. It's a articifial candy-smell, it's quite strong, but it will fade out eventually. I like!

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know what tint is "supposed" to feel like, but I like the texture a lot. Non-sticky. Non-watery. And not thick at all. The texture is "soft" as I would describe it. Very nice to wear on the lips. It's also not as drying!

Design/Packaging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Etude House - you never fail at cute packaging. Never. I even keep the packages I recieved them in, because I love the small little cherries and the pink box, it's too cute to throw away! The bottle itself has soft curves and its beautifully shaped, cute designed. 

With the orange tint I created a summery naturel look, which is kinda fun and sweet, and all over innocent. It's sheer, almost nude, and fits many colours!

With the red one I made a sexy, adult look! Can you see how I go from my ordinary age to like 20+? Power of makeup!

Which one is your prefered look? Stay tuned and enjoy november!
