Short hair cut!

I have been thinking of changing my hair, I was a bit sick of the old style, so I just went for it and got myself a haircut, and I decided to dye it when I was at it:)

Line up!

So I just applied some liquid eyeliner to the look, and it completely changed it:)



Brown smokey eye.

So I was just playing around with my makeup (I'm trying to practice a lot before I'm attending school), and I quite like the outcome:)




It's definitely a wearable everyday look!

London here i come! (makeup school)

Big and exciting news! I'm going to London, where I'm attending a makeup school.
I couldn't be more thrilled!


I'm attending a intensive makeup course, it's a school called Beauty Base London www.beautybaseschool.com/main/#/home .
I can't wait to get started. I'm looking forward to meeting the other participants, to experience the cultural aspect of the city, just trying something completely different!

It's all about pursuing ones dream, and I couldn't be more motivated!

Makeup - practice makes perfect!

I'm dreaming about becoming a makeup artist. I want so bad to have the opportunity to be creative when I go to work!
I've practiced a bit on my sister, the lovely blogger of www.regitzehess.blogspot.com.
Tell me what you think:)
 A lovely classic! Red lip and eyeliner.

A bronzed and natural look!

A journey back in time!

Due to my daddy's birthday, we went to a kind of amusement park, where they had created a world to assembly the ones of Stone Age, Viking Age etc. Here are some pictures showing which fabulous things I tried that day:)










Sadly my aim wasn-t nearly good enough for this shot.
This is my sisters skilled try! :)


I was wearing a new skirt frem H&M, I got it in the sale!
Top from Gina Tricot.
Thrifted loafers.
Knitted cardigan from Monki.

On duty!







This might not be of any help, but:

Thrifted t-shirt from local charity shop
Logo femme shorts
Catwalk wedges

If you want to see how I created this crop top, check out my blog post below:)

DIY! from old t-shirt to crop top!

I was feeling a bit creative today, and while I was looking through my sewing gear and fabrics I found an old thrifted t-shirt, which I decided to turn into a no sleeved crop top! Thought I would show you how I did it:)

 Here you have the old worn-out t-shirt,
but it's in for a makeover!

 Firstly you measure how wide you want the neckline to be.
I've chosen 3 cm (1.2 in).

 Now you want to make similar marks all around the neckline seam,
it should end up looking like this.

 Then you cut from mark to mark. But only on the front site,
when you reach the back site you just cut straight across,
as close to the original seam as possible.
Lastly you cut as close to the sleeve seam as possible
to add wideness to the upper part of the crop top.



And then you only need to measure how long you want your crop top to go. I made mine go just below the belly button. You want to make sure to cut straight across to add a square look to the top.

HAVE FUN! ... and if you want to see the finished result, you can check the post above! (coming up today)

Starry Nails!

I was going out with some friends this weekend, we went clubbing Saturday and Sunday we went out for a festival called Grøn Koncert, it's held every summer in different cities all over Denmark. So I wanted to make my nails bright and festive. This is what I came up with...


 The last picture is perhaps more detailed, the others just me and my sister having fun :)

 I painted my nails in this coral coloured nail varnish from a danish brand called GOSH. I loved the colour so much.
Then I drew stars on some of the nails with this nail varnish with a pointy applicator.


BUT, OH NO...
The fairytale didn't end well, after a single weekend my nails looked like this. And surely you can't blame me exclusively:)
Urgh!

Outfit for going down memory lane!

I was going out for coffee with an old high school friend of mine, and I was wearing my new shoes from h&m for the first time. Thought I would share it with you, I think it came out nice and classic!

I love these shoes, they are really feminine but still comfortable!
They were only 89.50 Danish kroner, in pounds it's a 10.55!

Makeup essentials!

Here is some of the most important makeup in my collection, it's more or less the core of my everyday face routine, and I'm always taking them with me when I'm travelling!
I thought I would show you, so you can get inspired or perhaps go out and purchase the same stuff, or something similar. I highly recommend it! :)
I apologise if some of the makeup I'm showing you are limited edition.

From top left to buttom right:
Mac Cork
Mac Shroom
Chanel Vitalumière Aqua
Mac Chez Chez Lamé
Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer
Mac Paint Pot - Painterly
Lr Colours Concealer Stick
Mac Blus - Pinch o' Peach
Chanel La Ligne de Chanel
Mac 224


 Cork is a light warm toned brown, which to me is multi functional.
You can use it to define your crease, so your eyes become more sculpted.
And you can use it to fill in your eyebrows, this will of course vary giving your natural eyebrow colour.

Shroom is a great and subtle highlighter to place on your brow bone and inner tear duct.

 Chanel Vitalumière Aqua is an amazing quality foundation, it has a light texture and is easy to handle, I recommend you using your fingers to work it in your skin.
It has a matt finish, which is great for the slightly more oily skinned.
It hasn't got heavy coverage, but it's possible to build more coverage from more layers.

Mac Highlight Powder gives a really beautiful and natural luminosity to the skin.
I recommend you to use highlight powder on the highest point of the cheek bone and the bridge of the nose.
Remember to blend it out well!

 Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer is really great and gives good coverage.
My advice is to get a concealer with salmon undertones no matter what colour skin you have, because the red will cancel out the blue in your under eye circles.
NW is the red toned ones, whereas NC is yellow toned.

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly is an eye shadow base, which purpose is to prolong the lasting of the eye shadow, to prevent creasing of the eye shadow and to give more vibrant colours.
You can get a lot of different colours, but this one is skin toned, so it is wearable with every colour and look.

The green concealer from LR you use before foundation on areas with red tones or blemishes, this will again cancel out the colour.
It's important you blend it well, and only use it on the actual red spot, otherwise it will only defeat the purpose.

 Mac 224 brush is a blending brush, which is an essential to have in your makeup collection.
It works perfect with blending out eye shadow, but it works just as well with applying concealer under your eyes.

The Mac blush is a really pretty sheer pink.
It's easy to work with and gives a beautiful and fresh colour to your cheeks.
But really it could be any pink you prefer, as long as it's a tone of pink that suits you, you will never go wrong with pink on your cheeks.

The Chanel liner is really not an essential - but a liner is!
I'm just trying this one out, because I ran out of my last one.
This one comes in a powder form, and if you wet the brush and mix it with the powder, you will get a very opaque black liner.
I have to say that it's not the most easy liner I have used, so if you're new to the whole liner thing, I would recommend you getting a felt tip liner instead.

I hope this is a bit helpful. I would really love to hear some of your makeup essentials, I'm looking to expand my collection and always appreciate advices. x
