Forgotten treasures

I've had a couple of the Inglot AMC pure pigment eye shadows for years but for some reason I rarely reach for them. The same goes for my Kryolan UV-dayglow palette.

So why not use them together?

I was quite pleased with the result, but I don't think the pictures do the gorgeous duochrome Inglot shadow justice. At all. That's my excuse for the amount of pictures in this post. I was just trying to capture the color! ;)

Absinthe + Nylon

It's still super hot and summery here (by Danish standards) and I can't think of a better excuse for minimal eye makeup and super bright lips.

Not that you'd ever really need an excuse for wearing Nylon lip tar, but you get the point :)

Also, let me take a moment to (repeat myself and) tell you how much I love Sugarpill Absinthe! It's super bright but also very easy to blend out and use in a look like this.

Blown out pink

I can't even tell you how much fun I'm having working my way through all the Urban Decay Electric colors!

Could I have created this look without the palette? Sure.
But it seems that the Electric colors were just what I needed to get more creative with makeup again. Along with vacation, of course ;)

Anime

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of pink. Especially when it's neon and on my lips.
Thanks, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, for making this awesome color!

Grande Lumiere

I used to use my Ben Nye Grande Lumiere palette all the time. Probably because I got it when I was first getting into makeup and wanted everything BRIGHT and SHINY.
Looking at that palette really makes me think about how much my makeup style has changed. I'm still head over heels in love with bright colors and glitter but it seems to be in a very different way.
At least I like to think that there's more attention to the details in the looks that I do now compared to the "one bright color on the lid and another bright color in the crease and I'm done"-type of looks that I used to do.

And so I give you a quick look inspired by the 17-year-old me* with the help of my beloved Ben Nye palette!

Azalea

Ahh, color blocking. It's such a simple and easy way to wear bold colors.

And I think I just remembered my favorite way to wear gold: with bright colors.

Strawberry Patch FOTD

Sooooo... The MAC Vera collection. I love it. I think it's fun, bright and pretty much made of awesome.

Favorite thing? The Pearlglide Intense Eyeliners and the fact that they're staying in line! Yay for non limited edition items! <3

I got the Strawberry Patch crushed metallic pigments set(man, that's one long product name...) and wanted to try the one called Moon Rose.
It's a pretty simple look but I think it shows off Moon Rose well :)

Angel Flame look

A pretty simple look to try out the (semi)new MAC Angel Flame quad from the Fall Color Collection :)

I quite like the combination of colors in the quad. Like my colleague said: "I just get so happy when looking at those colors!"

Sugarpill Sweetheart look

I had a bit of time to play around with some fun, colorful makeup today and decided to bust out my beloved Sweetheart palette from Sugarpill :)

Colorful fun :)

 I've been in such a terrible makeup rut lately. I've done bold lips and black liquid liner a lot and even a couple of basic smokey eyes but that's about as fun as it's been. I've really missed doing bright colors :)

I did feel a bit rusty when doing this, but at least I finished the look, so here you go! ;)

FOTD: Bright Fuchsia!

Wohooo, a new POST!

I don't really have any excuses for not posting other than being away on vacation for three weeks and just being busy in general for what seems like forever.
I had so many exciting things I wanted to post over the summer but I'm already back at the university. Wow. I really wish I had more than 24 hours a day! ;)

Hope you're all doing great :) Thank you so much to those of you who e-mailed me while I was taking this little unintended break :)
And thanks to everyone else for sticking around :D

Quite Cute!

I've had these pictures on my camera for weeks, but haven't gotten around to posting them.
Sorryyyyyy!

I did this look using mainly products from the MAC Quite Cute collection, which I was pretty excited about - mostly because of Candy Yum-Yum, which is the most amazing, matte pink lipstick. Ever.

I wasn't really excited about the eyeshadow palette at first, but after using it a couple of times, I actually think it is exactly what it's supposed to be: cute ;)
The pastel colors are great for spring, and even though they're far from being the most pigmented shadows I've ever used, they work well for certain looks, especially if paired with more pigmented, matte shades to give the looks some depth.
All I used besides the eyeshadow palette in this look was actually a colored base in the crease!
And I'm honestly surprised at how much I like the pink color in the palette! Definitely my favorite of the four :)

Playing with colors, glitter and lip tars!

Bright colors are awesome!
I finally had the time to play around with some fun makeup today, and this is what I ended up with! :)

Make Up Store Magazine inspired: Bold brows, eyes & lips!

Have I told you that I love Make Up Store Magazine?!
They're always super inspiring, and the latest issue is no exception :)

I wanted to do a look inspired by the picture on page 150 in the newest magazine (issue #15), and this is what I came up with :)

Bright Fuchsia look

Back with another FOTD :)
I did this look for work at MAC this past Saturday. It's amazing what makeup can do, really! I slept for just two hours the night before, and I still managed to look (and feel) awake ;)

Once again, Photobucket seems to be messing with the brightness of the pictures and I'm thinking I need to find another way to post them ;)

Look & Tutorial inspired by Make Up Store magazine!

I had so much fun doing this look!
Like I say in the video, the look was inspired by a look from an old Make Up Store magazine, which you can find on page 106 here.
I've looked at that picture so many times without ever trying to recreate it but I'm so glad I finally did! :)

Do you ever try to recreate looks you've seen other people do?
I rarely recreate other people's looks but I get inspired by them very often :)

Ban This!

I did this look for work a couple of weeks ago, but I quite liked it, and had the time to take pictures for once ;)

 

These pictures are of a look I wore to work a few weeks back but I just never got around to pow

Green brows?!

Wow, I've missed blogging! Basically, I've been busy with school and getting to know a ton of new people there, so blogging hasn't really been a top priority, unfortunately :/
I really, really hope to get back into blogging regularly, but I don't know when that'll happen. After all, it's "just" a hobby for me.

Thanks for sticking with me, I really appreciate all you guys!! :)

I have a post coming up with some of the new 80's Child collection colors from Glamour Doll Eyes  later today but I have this look to share first! :D

Yeah, I bleached my brows to be able to do fun colors on them more easily, haha! :)

Keep reading if you want to see more pictures and list of products used :)

Dare To Wear!

Gimme That!

I'm in love with the (not so) new Dare To Wear Lipglasses from MAC! In love!
And my favorite is probably this one... Gimme That!
