Hi everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of joy and love.

I had a great Christmas and I spent it with my family. I cooked the food for the Christmas dinner this year and it was my first time. I had help and together we made way too much food so we are probably going to eat the same food for a couple of days in a row.
Hopefully today we will change it up and eat some turkey that my mother made for us.

I had to work on Christmas Day so I was away from home and my computer for most of the day so I am taking the opportunity to give you all my best wishes and I hope that you are happy and feeling well.

The end of the year is coming up and I hope that 2010 was a great year for you. But there are still some days left of the year so lets make them happy ones.

I want to thank you all for taking the time to read my blog so Thank You and lots of Happy Hugs from me to all of you.

On my eyes: Smokey Purrfect Eye

I have fallen in love with the black liner color in the Purrfect Cat Eye Talking Palette from Stila. I think that this color is called Black Cat and this is not completely black but more a grayish black with shimmer. I think this is a perfect black for a dark smokey eye because it gives the eye a little more dimension than a matte black such as Carbon from MAC.

I have run out of my good eyeshadow bases and decided to try to use the High Tech Lighter by Make Up Store and this one creases a bit. So there is some creasing going on on the eye, but I am going to pretend that it's supposed to look like that. Lets pretend that it is a little bit more Rock 'n' Roll.

To add some sparkle to the eyes I added false lashes with some bling. This makes this look more fun than a traditional false eyelash.


For this eyemakeup I used the following products:

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch
Make Up Store High Tech Lighter in Platina as a base.
Stila Purrfect Cat Eye Talking palette, Line Color and Base Color.
MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline.
Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara
Make Up Factory Eye Brow Styler no 3.
Ardell Lashes called Pretty

On my lips: Crème Cup from MAC

During the winter time of the year I get really pale. The suntan that I acquired on my vacation is long gone and I am starting to look a little ghost like. During this time of year I love to wear lipsticks that are more cold tone and my favorite is a light cool pink color on my lips.

Right now my favorite lipstick is a Cremesheen lipstick from MAC called Crème Cup. This is a creamy well pigmented lipstick and this is a color that I would like to call a cool toned nude pink.

I like to layer this over Sharp Rose lip Pencil from Make Up Store to make it a little more bright pink. I think these two work very well and for now they create the perfect pink for my pale skin.

Christmas at LUSH

I have had a cold all week and I therefore beauty has not been on my mind this week. I hate colds since you do not feel that great and you definitely don't look that good. Your nose gets all red (at least mine) and your eyes water and there is nothing that will make you look good.
But I am better now and I am no longer sporting the "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" look and I am now enjoying makeup and beauty again.

It is December now and we are in the Holiday Season and one thing that I look forward to every year is the Christmas Products from LUSH. I love the imagination that LUSH has and I am always excited to see what they have come up with.

I focused on the bath products this year and I managed to not buy to much stuff and I am rather happy with my small haul.

The things that I picked up this year are:



Cinders Bath Ballistic: This was my favorite last year and I actually bought two this year. This Bath Ballistic has a warm spicy scent and it has Pop Candy in it. This makes a crackling sound that reminds me of a crackling fire in an open fire place. This is perfect when you want to warm yourself up on a cold winter evening.

Li'l Lush Pud Bath Ballistic: I passed on this last year and I am curious about this one and I am especially curious about the color of the bath water. This is a brown bath ballistic and I think it is supposed to look like a Christmas Pudding. It has a spicy scent as well with lemon and clove notes. According to LUSH it is a soothing Bath Ballistic that contains Aloe Vera, which is good for dry skin.

The Böögg Bath Ballistic: This is inspired by a Swiss tradition involving Fire Works and a Snowman. This Bath Ballistic is white but it as colorful pieces in it which will release when the Bath Bomb melts making a colorful pattern in the water. I hope this one will do a better job than the Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic, which didn't impress me at all. This one has a green and herbal scent.

The Bearded Lady Bubble Bar: The thing that got me all excited about this one is that it contains bananas and avocado. This sounds like a great product for dry skin since both bananas and avocado is very moisturizing.

The Gingerbread House: what can I say? It's a Gingerbread House and it is enough for me. This is a spicy Bubble Bar with Ginger as the main note. I love the look of this one but sadly my Bubble Bar has lost its cinnamon chimney.

I definitely recommend that you check out the Christmas products from LUSH this year. There is something for everyone. If you prefer more sweet and Candy like scents I recommend that you check out the Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Candy Cane Bubble Bar.

These products were bought with my own money and this is my own opinion. I am not affiliated with LUSH.

Review: Lily Lolo Mineral blushes

I am continuing my reviews on the products that I have tried from Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics and I am now taking a look at the blushes.

I have two blushes, one matte called Clementine (on the left side of the picture) and one shimmery called Candy Girl (on the right side of the picture).


Clementine belongs to the matte category of blushes and is a beautiful peachy pink blush. It isn't completely matte and it has a small amount of sheen to it. This blush is beautiful on the cheeks and it gives you a nice healthy glow. This is definitely my favorite of the two blushes and I am thinking of buying a full size jar of this.

Candy Girl is a pale pink blush with shimmer. The color is beautiful, a pale pink color but there is too much shimmer in the blush. I am not a huge fan of shimmer in blushes and this amount of shimmer isn't a look that suites me because it might look a little unnatural and also emphasize pores on the cheeks.
I have used a small amount of this on a large fluffy powder brush as a highlight on the cheekbones and it looks beautiful that way.

When you buy samples of the blushers on the Lily Lolo website you receive the samples in small zip lock bags. This makes it a little tricky to use the blush and I wish they would provide the blush samples in small jars like they do with the foundations and bronzers.

On my eyes; The True Romance palette in True Love from Kat Von D for Sephora

For this eye makeup I used my new palette that I bought at Sephora when I was on vacation in Hawaii. The palette is called True Love and comes from the Kat Von D line at Sephora.

I was very impressed with the pigmentation of the shadows in this palette and how easy they are to work with.
The palette comes with 7 powder eyeshadows and one gold cream shadow called Benji. I haven't used the cream shadow yet so I cannot tell you if it is good or not.

The shadow names from left to right: Peanut, Benji, Rebekah, Lucifer, Cholita, Shiba, Babe and Missy

For this eye makeup I used the following products:

MAC Paint in Bare Study as a base.
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk also as a base on the lid from lashes to crease.
Kat Von D Palette in True Love and I used the following shades, Missy, Babe, Shiba and Lucifer.
Make up Store Cake Eyeliner in Black
