Organizing mineral samples

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Got really sick of all the mineral sample baggies laying around everywhere, even in a drawer, so I took a couple of round-head fasteners and organized them by brand. The organizing-me is so much happier now!

Foundation – Lucy Minerals

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

On April 12, I ordered my very first full size mineral foundation ever! And yesterday (26th) it arrived! Lucy Minerals foundation in Fair! This is the best foundation I’ve tried so far! Read my review on it here.

Swedish: Den 12:e april beställde jag min allra första full size mineral foundation! Har annars bara använt en massa prover. Igår den 26:e kom den fram! Nyansen Fair från Lucy Minerals. Den bästa foundation jag provat hittills! Läs min recension här.

Smashed

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Look what I discovered when I got my latest order from E.L.F yesterday. The Natural Radiance Blusher (Shy) is totally smashed and powdered. THE HORROR! The other blusher I bought was just fine! Now I’m sad :|

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.

Yesterday I received some Barry M Dazzle Dust samples from IaMias. Cherry Red, Neon Pink, Candy, Gold, Lime, Pink Gold and Block Blue. So many amazing colors!

I did a fast (as in not properly blended and all that!) eye make up with Gold and Lime (and “Yellow” from Ninja Minerals under the lower lashes and wing), with UDPP as a base. For the eyebrows I used the Eyebrow Lifter And Filler (both sides) from ELF (not a big fan of that one though). Sorry for the crappy pictures, I was in a hurry and used and old digital camera ;).
