First of all; I know it's been such a long time since I last uploaded a blog post, so sorry for that..
And MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :-)
In this blog, I want to show some of the beauty stuff I got for Christmas - if some of you have a review on some of it, I would love to see it, so write a comment if you do.
I didn't get A LOT of makeup and beauty stuff for Christmas, but I got some few things that I am quite exited for:
OPI nail polish in the color "Designer... De Better"
This nail polish is from OPI's The Muppets Collection, and I first saw it in one of Carly Christman's videos on YouTube and I immediately knew that I wanted to try it out, cause I LOVE this kind of golden-glittery-glam sort of nail polishes.
I actually have it on my nails right now, and I just looks so PRETTY and shiny :-) A really nice color, which would also be great for New Years Eve...
Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss
I havenøt tried this lip gloss yet, but I thought I would just show it, since it's a really pretty color. I already have another lip gloss from this same line in a color that is more red, and it looks really good on.
MUA Mosaic Bronzer in Shade 1
I'm really happy to finally being able to try this bronzer! I have only tried it one time so far, and it's really pigmented and looks good on my skin, so it's definately a product I will get a lot of use from. When I used it, I combined it with a blush, but I guess that when we reach summer, and my skin hopefully will be a little more tanned, it will look good to only use this bronzer to get a nice sunkissed look.
Soap & Glory Lid Stuff
Yaay!! I have been looking forward to finally trying this product, since I've heard so many good things about it on YouTube. Soap & Glory is not available in Denmark, where I live, so my parents had been so kind and had bought this one for me in London.
The product contains of four eyeshadows: Vanilla, Pink T, Mudhoney and Aubersheen and I think I will get a lot of use out of these, because on a daily basis I would probably just use Vanilla and Pink T and then I can combine them with the other two shades if I'm going out in the evening.
I've one tried them once until now, and the color actually lasted all night (I used an eyeshadow primer underneath).
Definately an exiteing product for me, since I have green eyes and blond hair and quite pale skin in the wintertime, hence these colors fit me really nicely.
The color Vanilla reminds me of MAC's color "Blanc Type", which is actually my everyday eyeshadow that I've used for the past three months or so on an almost daily basis.
Rituals Whipped body cream in Organic Sweet Orange & Cedar
This cream was a gift from one of my best friends, and I actually hadn't seen this product before, but I had seen some scented candles by the same brand, which were really nice looking and also smelled really good, so I was kind of exited to see that Rituals also makes body creams. I don't know if it's a Danish brand or if it's a new brand on the market, but I have never really seen that many products from this brand at all.
The cream has a lovely scent to it, you really notice the orange scent and it smells very fresh. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to it and I think the bottle that holds the cream has a nice look to it, sleek and nice.
H&M Eyelashes setI know that these aren't makeup, but I thought I would show them to you anyway. I got these lashes from one of my best friends, and they are crazy long, but at the same time really pretty. I like the last ones best, and they are so insane long that I'm looking forward to see how it looks when I have them on! Definately not the kind of eyelashes you would wear on a regular night out. At least I wouldn't.. But I think they would be really nice for New Years Eve or maybe a big Birthday party or something like that.
I have pretty long eyelashes myself, and I rarely wear fake eyelashes, but sometimes I do think it's fun to dress up and go all in with a pair of eyelashes, but I have never tried on anyone as long as these babies, so i just thought I would show them :-)
That's it for now, I hope you will all have a happy New Year's and I promise to write more blogs in 2012! :-)
