Laura Geller Baked Balance-N-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation – Food

This blog post uses affiliate links and thus qualifies as advertisement. Please read disclaimer. My love for food is well documented on this blog, but did you know that this gets triggered by food related makeup? No joking, if something is called Gelato Swirl, Honey Bronze or just Baked Whatever, I start salivating.     And yes, I am well aware that I am so not selling the Laura Geller Baked Balance-N-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation to you here, linking it to mental images of saliva and me stuffing my face.…

Avon mark Big & Extreme Mascara

This blogpost contains PR-Samples and may use affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Mascara reviews. I haven’t done them in a while. In fact, the last one I did was on IGTV (Anyone remember that platform? It seems only brands upload teasers of their new releases there anymore.)     Kind of strange, when you think of it, as mascara is the makeup item I use every day and is the one that I replace most frequently. I might not be worried too much about expiration dates in my other face…

Glam Holiday Makeup Tutorial for mature skin

This blog post uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. I love a glamorous makeup look as much as the next beauty blogger, but even if I´d say I am wearing quite a lot of makeup compared to other women around me, I can´t help but feel a little intimidated by the Full Glam Holiday Makeup Tutorials I have seen recently.     Glitter, red lips, I am down for that (in fact I want to be buried with my favorite red lipstick, just in case you actually CAN take things…

Monthly Recap – Blog Post Topics November 2018

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. November is done and dusted, and tomorrow will be the day I get the boxes with Christmas decoration from the basement and start randomly putting them on available surface spots. Not kidding here, I am a lost cause when it comes to decorating, no matter how much Inspiration Boards I have on Pinterest. But I am making an effort, for the kids mostly, as I want them to embrace the spirit of the season.     While we get all festive…

What´s in my makeup bag for autumn 2018

This blogpost contains affiliate links and *PR-Samples. Please read disclaimer. To be fair, I don´t actually have a makeup bag. Well, I do, but I don´t use it to store my everyday makeup in. But I do have a very tiny bathroom (if you ever watched one of my Instagram Lives you can see me banging my head at the slanting walls), and a husband I need to share that bathroom space with.     And that basically means that most of my makeup lives in my basement/office/filming room and…

essence #instaperfect Foundation Review

  This blog post uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. To be honest, I almost didn´t buy this foundation because of the name. I mean, #instaperfect? That sums up everything I do NOT stand for: the hashtag-life, Instagram makeup, even perfection isn´t something I can relate to.     But the claims… The siren song of words like matte, flawless and buildable coverage was strong. So Instagram Makeup aside, today I am here to show you how the essence #instaperfect foundation wears on mature and oily skin.

Monthly Recap: August 2018

Times are busy, and I feel like they get busier every day. Catching up with my favorite blogs daily is something I haven´t been able to do in a long while, and as I figured you are probably in the same boat, I decided to introduce the Monthly Recap series. It is meant to be an overview of all the blog posts I have written, all the videos I have uploaded and a few extra informations thrown in for good measure. To make it easier to find what you are interested in I split…

The Ordinary Coverage Foundation – Confusion

This blogpost uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. While I was trying to write this introduction, I got sucked in to the black hole that is “The Ordinary Drama” time lines. As much as I claim I don´t care for drama online (and believe me, I don´t) it seems like once you start reading, you simply can´t stop. So much has happened since I shared my initial thoughts here, and it leaves me incredibly confused.     So how do I proceed? I guess I will continue with what I do best and…

Day to night makeup tutorial using affordable products

This blog post contains affiliate links and *PR-Samples. Please read disclaimer. I think it is well established by now that I don’t have much of a social life. But I do remember a time when I had, a life when a spontaneous invitation for after work drinks or even a date could happen. And I remember how hard it was to look fresh and glammed up with a ten hours work day under your belt.     I watched countless day to night makeup tutorials on You tube, but I…

Red Lipstick Love – My story

I bet you have read it by now: Sali Hughes “A love letter to red lipstick”, published in British Vogues August 2018 issue. “Red is for life, a state of mind, a personality type, a tribe. It’s beauty’s boldest, chicest, most iconic and attention-grabbing badass. And like all the best things, it’s simply not for everyone. But it is always, and forever, for me.“ – Sali Hughes, „A love letter to red lipstick“, British Vogue 08/2018     And in a world full of makeup trends that come and go, I…
