I won got2b 2 Sexy!

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

De här kom med Posten idag! Jag vann en tävling hos Beleza och fick Schwarzkopfs nya got2b 2 Sexy big volume hårspray och mousse med collagen lift effect. Luktar hallon! :D Ska bli spännande att se om moussen överträffar den jag har (som jag inte använder särskilt ofta haha!).

Mine Minerals

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I oktober förra året beställde jag lite prover från Mine Minerals som jag helt glömt bort att rapportera om. Man fick 5 prover (Jag valde Peackock (turkos), Enigma (djuplila), Bewitched (blåsvart), In Love (ceriserosa) och Aqua (aquamarin)) för 26 kronor inklusive frakt. Blev en aning besviken på hur lite det var i de små provpåsarna faktiskt (eller är det jag som är girig och grinig!). Man fick visserligen en liten spatel med hade nog hellre sett att det var mer i påsarna.

Bilden är kanske inte den allra bästa men jag har lagt skuggorna på en bas av Vaseline (:P). Pigmenteringen var annars utmärkt. Dock fick jag en känsla av att Bewitched och Enigma är en aning grovkorniga. Dessutom skulle Bewitched vara “blåsvart” men tycker jag inte syns. En fullstor burk ögonskugga med 1 gram kostar 79kr.

Lucy Minerals Foundation

Friday, April 9th, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I received samples of Lucy Minerals foundation (I ordered the original formula – If you have oily skin they have a Oil Control Foundation and if you are extremely allergic they have a Lucy Light Foundation – without any additives.) in the shades Fair, Light and Snow White (it rhymes!). I’ve seen so many good reviews online about them that I just had to order some samples to try them out myself! They came in tiny zip-lock baggies but there were quite a lot in them! Will last long for me!
The sample sizes are $1.50 and the full-sizes are $14 with free shipping ($6.00 Minimum Order) worldwide!

What the website says

Anti-aging, natural sun protection (Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide), NO Parabens or Micronized Minerals, Water-resistant – Holds up well in humidity, Zinc Oxide has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, Ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or problem skin (especially rosacea), Contains the ingredient Allantoin (an anti-irritant) to soothe and protect the skin, Great coverage – reduces redness in skin, Free from bismuth oxychloride, talc, fragrance or preservatives…

Since I have problem with my skin; extremely dry areas and redness I was so excited to try it out! And the first time I used it I was like; WOW! Extremely good first impression! And second, and third! I love it! It covers my redness really good and it stays on longer than I thought as well. I even got a bit sweaty one day and I just had to put on some powder on my forehead to cover the shininess.

As you can see below, I have put on the “Light” foundation on the left side (just a little to make it look as natural as possible), the right side is only moisturized (look at that horrible redness, and this is on a good day!).To me it was a huge change!

After the photo was taken I put Everyday Minerals foundation “Fair” (Intensive formula) that I normally wear on the other side just to compare. The EM foundation didn’t cover the redness as good as Lucy Minerals, I also felt that EM made my skin more dry and that I had to use more to get the coverage I wanted. I have also had the feeling that EM wears of more easily during the day.

The shades

At first I thought “Fair” was too light for me but now I think that it’s almost the perfect match. If I compare with Everyday Minerals, I can use their “Fair” and “Ivory”. Even if it’s hard to tell from the picture, EM’s “Fair” is a tiny bit darker than LM’s “Fair”. I haven’t even tried “Light” yet, it seems too dark and too yellow for me.

Be ware of “Snow White”! It’s really white! :P I tried a little bit on to see if it made my skintone brighter, and hell yes. I looked like a goth afterwards! :D So Snow White is a foundation for all you goths out there! However, it’s perfect to brighten the other shades up a bit, or use it as a highlighter.

Buy full-size?

If it doesn’t happen anything unexpected with the rest of the sample, I will absolutely buy a full-size!

Have you tried Lucy Minerals? What are your thoughts?

Nerdy T-shirts from SEIBEI

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I’m totally snowed in on nerdy and geeky t-shirts. I’ve also been sick for several days with a severe cold (I’m coughing my lungs out!) so I’ve been watching too many episodes of The Big Bang Theory, so it got me looking for some new shirts! I found these neat ones made by SEIBEI (David Murray). My favorite, that you probably have seen on different blogs already, is “I’m fat lets party“. LOL!

I’m going back to the couch now. I should take a picture of the pile with snot-paper to show you all, it’s impressive, but I’ll spare you the pain. The germs might jump right through the screen!
