Review and lipswatches! OCC Lip Tar & hourglass liquid lipstick!

This is OCC the lip tar in radiant. Amazing read which I love. Easy to apply and dries to a beautiful satin finish!

My perfect nude! This is the hourglass opaque rouge liquid lipstick in canvas! oh my god, I love this. Dries totally matte but not dry on the lips.

This is the hourglass opaque rouge liquid lipstick in icon! I actually dont like this. It’s very difficult to apply and it applies uneven and streaky.

So I totally made the lip tar in femme look crappy, so i post this picture of me wearing it some days ago instead.

After!

Lashes for days, jealous!
I will post a video when he does my makeup soon! 😂

Review: thebalm NUDEtude pallette.

Hi guys.

Today I am posting a review on thebalm’s NUDEtude pallette. I actually did not plan to buy this, but you know how it is when it suddenly is 50% off. I could not resist.

So I really like the size of this pallette. I think it is really original and cute, and also has a great variety of colours. It has 5 matte shadows and 7 shimmer shadows. The only thing that I think is missing is a light matte, since both sassy and snobby are shimmers. The pallette has great pigmentation and the shadows blend very well! Here are the swatches of all the colours.

I think that the shimmer shades swatch WAY BETTER than the matte ones. I actually like all the shades exept silly and sophisticated. These to are not really that pigmented. But if you want a little glitter on top maybe that’s what you will use them for. The pallette comes with a brush which creates a lot of fallout! But the pallette has a lot of fallout anyway..

Pro

Good colour selection
both mattes and shimmers
goes on smooth and blends well

Con

A lot of fallout
Some shadows are not pigmented
Bad shadow brush
Missing one light matte shade

Would I buy this if it not was 50% off? NO Is it a okay pallette? YES

My weightloss journey.

Helloo!

1 year makes a hell of a difference!

So, I decided to post this for you.. because I hope that I might inspire some of you to make better choices in life!

In september 2014 I was the biggest (and sadest) that I have ever been. I was really depressed and sad inside while I tried to look happy on the outside. The truth is that I wanted to lose weight. I had already a membership on a local gym here in Oslo, but I never went there anyways. But on the 4th of September I met my saving girl! That was the day when I met my beautiful personal trainer Camilla! (link to her blog, she writes in Norwegian)

Camilla basically wanted to help me get my life back, and she did! I trained with her for 8 months, and learned more about myself than I ever knew before. Our communication and focus was perfect, we were the perfect team. The training program is based on exercises I liked and felt like I accomplished. I hate to run, therefore I have not run a meter since I started. Why do something that is actually demotivating? As motivator is Camilla is amazing! One can not actually force someone to not go home and eat chocolate after training. Therefore, our method has been perfect for me! Eating healthy 5-6 days a week, and I can treat myself with something sweet on weekends. The reward you then get to been good all week can not be described. Both to see the numbers on the scale and knowing that she enjoys herself is of course a motivation in itself. But being able to eat sweets on the weekend makes you not feel that you are dieting.

Here I am now, 8 months later and 25 kgs (55lbs) lighter. I have never felt better about myself. I changed my lifestyle and started to like myself again. Yes it has been exhausting and really expensive, but it was worth it!

I hope this might inspire and help you if you are a little bit stuck in your own journey! I just want to tell you that it is worth it and you can do it!

Love, Kristine

First impression: MAC mineralize moisture foundation

Hi guys.

Could not wait to blog tonight because when I got home from my workout the MAC foundation that I ordered was in my mailbox! I honestly bought this foundation because of this video by Sally Jo where she talk about MAC products. Check it out!

So I wanted to do this first impression after my workout, that’s why I am wearing a makeup shirt! haha, don’t judge!

I did clean my face with the Garnier Micellar water, and for reference I have really dry skin on my forehead and nose. I actually have a dry T-Zone, which may sound really weird.. But on my cheeks I have normal skin. Color reference: in the winter I am a (very pale) NC15 but now I am NC20. I don’t usually get really tan, so this works for me.

I always use the MAC prep+prime natural radiance primer in radiant yellow. I will test the foundation with both the beauty blender and the ZOEVA 104 buffing brush to check if there are any differences.

my clean face!

This is after I applied primer and foundation to the left side of my face.

Then I used the beauty blender on the other side and I did not notice any difference. This foundation leaves your skin really dewy and especially with the primer. I need this glow because of my dry and dull skin, but if you have oily skin I don’t think you will like this.

Finished face, and I must say that i LOVE this foundation. I used the MAC pro longwear concealer in NC15 and set my undereyes with E.l.f HD undereye setting powder. Then I set my face with the NYC smooth skin translucent powder. My contour and blush was so easy to apply. I used the Anastasia countour kit in light and E.l.f baked blush in peachy cheeky with my favourite highlighter: Mary Lou-manizer from thebalm.

I hope you liked this review and I will post the haul and swatches with lip products this weekend.

Love, Kristine

My top 5 youtube beauty bloggers!

Hi! Thought I would mention my top 5 beauty bloggers on youtube tonight. It was REALLY difficult to pick these out, but these are the youtube channels I watch for inspiration!

1. JAMBeauty89

Jessica Murphy’s channel is my life. Seriously, I watch her all the time! If I want to know about the quality of a product, I will check her channel first! She actually made me buy my FAVOURITE translucent powder. She gives great reviews and she is all about the drugstore products, which I love!

2. Flowerbomb31

Natalie is so freakin’ gorgeous! I basically started watching her because we have the same pale skin. I fell in love with her videos, and I love her skincare reviews.
