I'm not dead... :D

Puha, det er længe siden! 1,5 år… Jeg vil gerne sige tusind tak til dem af jer der har holdt ved og blevet ved med at spørge hvornår der kommer et nyt indlæg. Det gør der NU :P Jeg har holdt en ufrivillig pause af personlige årsager og uddannelse har også fyldt en del. Men der er styr på det personlige og uddannelsen nu, så lad skriveriet begynde!

Jeg har egent lavet en del makeupmæssigt det sidste halvandet år, og har gemt billeder af det, så der vil kommer små flash backs i det næste stykke tid. Jeg har tænkt længe og hårdt over, hvad jeg vil bruge min blog til, og det bliver af udelukende egoistiske grunde. Den vil blive et "outlet" for mig, min hverdag og kreativitet og så vil jeg også bruge den som et slags visit-kort/portfolie til det freelance makeup jeg laver.

Jeg håber på at i stadig hænger i, og jeg vil enormt gerne have feedback på om der er noget bestemt I gerne vil læse/lærer mere om.

Og som et lille plaster på såret, er her et billede af Ryan Gosling.

Tak fordi I stadig er her :) 

ENGLISH:

Wow, long time nu see. It's been 1,5 years since my last post and I hope you are still hanging in there. I've had an unvolantary break from the blog because of personal issues and education. BUT that's all sorted out now and I'm ready to begin writing again.

I've been doing some makeup related work since last time, so I'll be posting some "flash backs" ind the upcoming weeks. I've thought about what I want to do with and use this blog for, and I'ts gonna be for totally selfish reasons. It's gonna be my "outlet", both with everyday stuff, but also creatively. And I'm gonna use it as a kind of portfolio for the freelance makeup work I do as well.

I hope you're still haning in there, and I would LOVE to get feedback if there is certain stuff you want to read or learn more about.

And to make it all better, here's a picture of Ryan Gosling.

Thank you, for still being here :)

Yay! Shop Mac Cook Mac kommer frem før tid!

WEEE! Shop Mac Cook Mac kollektionen kommer allerede frem fra på mandag (27.02.12) af! Jeg var lige nede og snakke med pigerne i Mac og de fortalte at  Mac har valgt at tage kollektion frem før tid i DK fordi det er sådan en stor kollektion. Derudover laver de et lille pr-stunt ud af det, hvor pigerne så skal have den vilde cupcake-makeup på og rigtig dulles op. Det bliver så fint!

Skal du have noget fra kollektionen? :)

HH Simonsen Sylen 2: Krøllejern på 3 forskellige måder

Jeg har afprøvet HH Simonsen Sylen II sammen med 2 af mine veninder (vi legede også med makeup), og vi er alle 3 vilde med den! Men først, her er hvad HH Simonsen selv skriver om Sylen 2:

“Professionelt styling jern, med uanede muligheder for at designe nye kreative krøller i håret. Det koniske designede formjern giver håret et moderne og meget spændende look. Med sylen kan du lave de nemmeste og hurtigste madonnakrøller i alle typer hår. Sylens diameter er 13-25 mm. Håndtaget er udført med rubberlook, som sikrer et godt greb, uanset om du har lidt styling-produkter på hænderne.”

Rent udsensmæssigt er Sylen 2 både lækker at se på og at arbejde med. Den er helt sort, har en idiot-sikret on/off knap, håndtag i “rubber” så den ligger godt i hånden. Og så skader en 3 meter lang ledning bestemt ikke. Det tager Sylen ” ca. 90 sekunder at varme op.

Som sagt var vi 3 veninder der testede Sylen 2 og vi har 3 forskellige hårtyper og -længder, og har brugt 3 forskellige måder at style vores hår på – så jeg vil påstå at vi har fået gennemtestet det krøllejern!

Første testperson er Sara. Hun har hår til midt på ryggen og det er meget tykt og har tendens til at kruse. Jeg tog nogenlunde almindelig totter hår omkring krøllejernet, men tog mindre totter “yderst” på hovedet.

Billedet øverst til venstre, er hvordan krøllerne ser ud når man intet gør ved dem. De andre billeder er efter styling, hvor det eneste jeg gjorde var at løbe fingrene igennem håret og så ellers gi’ det en omgang hårspray – NEMT!

Næste testperson er Sanne der har fint, langt hår. Hendes hår vil ikke særlig gerne krølle, men som Sanne siger “det gør som det selv vil… æh!” Jeg tog igen sådan almindelige totter, så håret kunne blive krøllet fra ca. 10 cm fra hovedbunden og ned i resten af håret. Sanne ville ikke have “barbie-hår”, så vi børstede håret igennem (ret grundigt) og satte de resterende krøller me hårspray.

Sanne fortalte senere at krøllerne havde holdt hele natten og hele næste dag. Det er da ret godt klaret i forhold til at Sannes hår ikke vil krølles.

Til sidst er så mit hår, som er fint men der er alligevel en del af det. Det er farvet og har et fald (altså noget imellem bølger og glat hår – hvilket kan blive irriterende i længden).

Mit hår fik en meget hurtigt omgang med krøllejernet! Jeg delte håret (altså ALT mit hår) op i 6-7 totter og lod håret sidde omkring krøllejernet lidt længere, da totterne var meget tykke. Hovedet nedad og fingerne hurtigt igennem håret og afsluttedede med hårspray. Det tog max 10 min. Siden det gik så hurtigt, blev mit hår selvfølgelig lidt mere rodet og med masser af volumen, hvilket er det jeg gør efter. Krøllen blev mere til bølger, end krøller nu hvor jeg tog så store totter.

Vi var alle 3 meget imponeret over hvor nemt og hutigt det var at krølle håret med Sylen 2, en faktisk endnu mere over hvor godt krøllerne holdt.

Vi brugte selvfølgelig en varmebeskyttende stylingspray inden vi brugte krøllejernet, hvilket jeg virkelig anbefaler at man gør. Der er intet værre end ristede, ødelagte og tørre spidser.

Jeg synes generelt at HH Simonsen laver nogle go’e produkter, men Sylen 2 overraskede mig virkelig. Den er rigtig nemt at bruge og krøllerne holder bedre end når jeg bruger mine andre krøllejern. Det er virkelig et krøllejern jeg vil anbefale at prøve!

Du kan få Sylen 2 hos nicehair.dk til 399,- hvilket er det sted jeg har set dem være billigst. 

OBS: Jeg er ikke betalt for at skrive denne anmeldelse/test. Jeg har med mine egne surt optjente studiejob/su-penge købt krøllejernet. :)

FOTN 090212 with inspirations from Rodarte SS12

So I was feeling lost for inspiration on what to do with my face as I was going out last  thursday. So I thought "why not try something 'from the SS12 runway' ??" and the look from Rodarte SS12 was right up my alley! I think it turned out quite nice, though there is too much color on my lips compared to the pics :)

face / ansigt:

MAC Face and Body Foundation

MAC Studio Finish Consealer

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Mac Cremeblend Blush in Lady Blush

Mac Powder Blush in Perfect Cheek

eyes / øjne:

MAC Paint in Bare Canvas

MAC Print e/s

MAC Deep Truth e/s

MAC Soft Brown

MAC Feline Kohl

generic white eyeliner...

MAC Prep + Prime Lash

Rimmel London Accelerate Volume Mascara

lips / læber: 

MAC Subculture Lipliner

Kate Moss for Rimmel London 07 Lipstick

Well, I found the pictures first, so I just used what I had and thought looked similar. But later I actually found Style.com Senior Beauty Editor Celia Ellenberg's take on the look:

"If it wasn't clear from the sunflower-print opening looks that Laura and Kate Mulleavy sent out onto the runway, Vincent van Gogh and his most famous paintings partially inspired their Spring Rodarte collection and its complementary beauty look. "It's Starry Night," makeup artist James Kaliardos said backstage, referencing the Dutch post-impressionist master's oil-on-canvas depiction of the view outside his sanitarium room window.

"Bigger! Smokier!" Kaliardos told his army of face painters, who encased eyes in midnight blue accordingly, thanks to a precise layering effort of NARS' new Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Dark Rite, a shimmering navy, and its Eye Shadows in Night Flight, a deep ink, and Tropic, a glittery aqua. Cheeks were treated to a blended application of NARS Cream Blush in Penny Lane, a muted mauve that was also patted onto lips and topped with its Lip Gloss in Nano, a sheer purple, for a lavender-tinged nude effect.

The famous painting's swirling stars and dark backdrop inspired nail guru Deborah Lippmann as well, who custom-mixed large pieces of silver and graphite sequins into her sparkling navy lacquer Lady Sings the Blues. "You've gotta amp it up for the girls," Lippmann said, referring to the Mulleavys, who are particular about every single detail that goes into their shows, right down to the toes. "They didn't want them to match the nail," Lippmann mentioned, slicking on pedicures with two coats of her universal neutral varnish Fashion.

Odile Gilbert diverted from the art-history reference to add a retro forties element to the equation in the form of "sweet sixteen" hair that worked well with the designers' series of fantasy, almost promlike dresses. "It's sort of teenager-y," Gilbert said, scrunching in Kérastase Volumactive Conditioning Mousse and its Double Force Hairspray for a tiny bit of texture. It wasn't all youth and whimsy, though—the front row's mean age notwithstanding. Gilbert side-parted strands and then created a twisted wave that she secured with a hair comb. "That's the part that's sophisticated," she said."

So long story short, they used Nars! :P

Have you tried any of the runway SS12 looks yet? BTW! This would look AWESOME on brown eyes!! :D

DANSK! Jeg var lidt inspirations forladt da jeg skulle i byen sidste torsdag og så tænkte jeg "hvorfor ikke prøve en af de looks fra SS12 catwalk'en?" og jeg fandt Rodarte SS12, som var lige det jeg ledte efter. Synes selv det blev helt okay - selvom der er for meget farve på mine læber i forhold til billederne.
Jeg fand billederne først og brugte bare det jeg havde liggende som jeg synes lignede. Men jeg fandt Style.com Senior Beauty Editor Celia Ellenbergs ud talelser om Rodarte SS12 showet og makeuppen (ovenover). De brugte Nars, hvor jeg så brugte MAC.


Har du prøvet et af de mange SS12 looks? FORRESTEN, så ville dette look se MEGA godt ud på folk med blå øjne! :D

Face of the day with GOSH Liquid Eyeliner in Black, MAC All That Glitters eyeshadow and MAC Strayin' lipstick. And then foundation and such... Really easy and simple.


I like the color of Strayin' a lot, but the formula (frost) is very drying on me (and I have a problem with dry skin, so this is a big no-no). Do you have a product you like the color of, but the consistency... not so much?

Kate Bosworth's Lipstick at Sundance Festival

I have been on a wild hunt to find out what lipstick Kate wore at the Sundance Festival (well on of the days). And I found it!


It's the Nars Semi-Matte Jungle Red Lipstick. (Total detective here!)


And if I could get Nars in Denmark, I would so go get it. You can order it from the european Nars website, but i'm one of those girls that need to try a lipstick on before I buy it! It's a b*tch.


I just think this is the perfect bright red for summer and spring. But it might look different on me, since I have brown hair (and don't have the looks or complexion that miss Bosworth has - GOD she's beautiful!)


I will have to make do with my own favorite summer lipstick, which is MAC Pro Longwear Lipstick in Love Forever (bright pink). I am also wearing it here...

Do you have a favorite bright red, pink or coral lipstick for summer?


DANSK! Jeg har været på en vild jagt for at finde den læbestift Kate havde på en af dagene til Sundance Festival. Og jeg fandt den! Det var Nars Semi-Matte Jungle Red Lipstick. Wee! Jeg synes virkelig at det er en perfekt "bright red" her til sommer og foråret. 
Man kan købe Nars igennem deres europæiske hjemmeside, men jeg er desværre en af de piger der skal prøve en læbestift før jeg køber den. Så jeg holder mig til min nuværende ynglings sommer læbestift, MAC Pro Longwear i Love Forever, som jeg har på ovenover.


Har du en ynglings "bright red", pink eller koral farvet læbestift til sommeren?

FOTN 290112 + before and afters!

So I was out with my two friends last saturday, and I did their hair and makeup. AND, just to make it a little more fun, we took before and after pictures! YAY! (Come on, we all love a good makeover!)

I did Sara's makeup and hair first. She's not at girl that needs a lot of makeup and she has gorgeous skin, so she just needed to get a little contour around her eyes, so the blue of her eyes would stand out better. And we were going out, so we wanted to play with a little color (unlike on her wedding day, were I also did her makeup - pictures to come soon). 


I cant exactly remember what I used on her, but I know I used:


MAC Face and Body Foundation
MAC Sudio Finish Consealer
MAC Mineral Skinfinish Natural (and the shade darker to contour)
MAC Cremeblend Blush in Lady Blush
MAC Marquise D' lipstick


on her eyes I used differnt colors from my generic 88 eyeshadow palette. Purples and neutrals mostly.

Next up is Sanne, who is just annoyingly good and beautiful on photographs! (GRRR*) ;P hehe. She's worked in a beauty store herself, so she has a lot of knowledge about beauty products as well - just look at that base (she did her own foundation and consealer). Again, I can't remember all the products I used on her and I used some of her own to.


MAC All That Glitters eyeshadow
MAC Club eyeshadow
MAC Corduroy eyeshadow
MAC Carbon eyeshadow


...and that's all I remenber. We where sipping champagne at the time :P

And lastly, me. I where by far the one that needed makeup or a makeOVER the most. Jesus, I look sick without it! I am really a good example on what wonders makeup can do. :) We where running out the door when started doing my makeup, so all I remember using was (wow, I sound like a drunk by now...):

MAC Face and Body Foundation

MAC Sudio Finish Consealer

MAC Mineral Skinfinish Natural (and the shade darker to contour)

MAC Cremeblend Blush in Lady Blush

MAC Powder Blush in Perfect Cheek

MAC Heritage Rouge Pigment

MAC Soft Brown eyeshadow

GOSH Liquid Eyeliner in Black

MAC Pro Longwear Lipstick in Love Forever

False lashes by Kiss... I think.


We had a lot of fun doing these before and after pictures(and I with the makeup) and I hope you'll like them to. I will make a separate post on how I did the hair, so please stay tuned. :)


DANSK! Jeg var sammen med to af mine veninder sidste lørdag og så valgte vi at tage nogle før og efter billeder af makeup'en (for hvem elsker ikke makeovers?!)som jeg lagde. Sara, har jeg lagt makeup på før og Sanne kan sku' selv selv de sh*t, så det var rigtig sjovt at få lov til at ligge på hende også. :) Det lyder som om at vi/jeg var mega stiv den aften, men jeg har bare en dårlig hukommelse når jeg ikke skriver sådanne ting ned.


Vi havde i hvert fald en rigtig sjov aften og jeg håber I kan lide billederne. Jeg laver et separat blogindlæg om hvordan jeg stylede håret, så tjek endelig tilbage! :)

Weee! Face of the day! This is how I look when i'm super busy and just running out of the door... or have like 5 min to get ready. Oh, and using your lipstick as a blush both saves you time and space in your purse. I really got a lot of compliments for my "fresh-looking" cheeks. :)


Face/ansigt:
Origins VitaZing SPF 15 (tinted moisturizer that gives you a little bit of color - just don't wear white with this one!)
MAC Studio Finish Consealer
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
MAC Pro Longwear Lipstick in Positively Dashing (dapped on with fingers as a blush - it really looks nice and stays put)


Eye/øjne:
MAC Eyelash curler
MAC Brow Set in Clear
Rimmel Volume Accelerator Mascara


Lips/læber:
MAC Pro Longwear Lipstick in Positively Dashing


DANSK! Sådan her ser jeg ud hvis jeg suse ud af døren og/eller kun har 5 min til makeup. Og at bruge din læbestift som blush spare tid og plads i din taske. Jeg fik mange komlimenter for mine "friske kinder". :)

The Goldens

I know I'm late on the whole "Golden Globes-bandwagon", but there really was some beautiful looks on the red carpet that night... and a few not so beautiful (yes, I am very judgmental).


I really thought that Zooey Deschanel, Rachel Wood, Rooney Mara, Mila Kunis and reese Witherspoon had some of the best hair and makeup.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Debra Messing look plain out scary to me. :/

Did you have a favorite look from the Goldens?

DANSK! Jeg ved godt at jeg sent ude når det gælder Golden Globes, men jeg synes virkelig der var mange flotte (og få knap så flotte) looks på den røde løber i år. Især Zooey Deschanel, Rachel Wood, Rooney Mara, Mila Kunis og reese Witherspoon havde noget af det flotteste hår og besdte makeup. Sarah Michelle Gellar og Debra Messing not so much.

Har du et favorit look fra Golden Globes?
