NEW YEAR(beauty) RESOLUTIONS

The new year is on its way, and as a tradition I have to have some resolutions for the new year.

It is always easier to do something like that, when you are doing it with someone, so let's do it together!

Here are some of the ones I came up with:

• Wash and cleanse my skin from make-up every night before bead.
• BE HAPPY AND THANKFUL FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY I HAVE!
• Find my signature sent.
• Use at least 2 differnt products up before buying anything new.(I have too much make-up)
• Try my best, to be the best person I can.
• Exfoliate 2 times a week.
• Drink more water - 2 liters pr. day is my goal!
• Get my beauty sleep - 8 hours or more!
• Use a facemask once a week.
• Be happy about the fact that my body works and not complain about how I look(or at least do something about it then...).

Want to get NAKED? (again)

Gold. Bronze. Metallic. It sold out like crazy. It was almost impossible to get your hands on for over a year. There is sould one i every minute. Could it really be done again? Oh yesss...


Urban Decay just prooved it could. The Urban Decay NAKED Palette 2 ust came out, and as you might have guessed: it is out of stock! The first time UD launched the NAKED Palette it had a double ended eyeliner with it, as a bounus. It didnt take too long before UD coulndt follow up with the crowd. It sold out to fast, for the factory to make the eyeliners so they changed the bonus to the carma eyeshadow brush.

I have since it first came out, wanted it, and kept an eye out on all websites that had it and when it was back in stock. It was impossible to find on all websites and I had finally the chance to buy it, when I was in New York in the spring break. It was number one on my "what to get" list for that trip. And guess what? Sold out. Agian... But I didnt want to give up, I had to have it. My mom and I were in 5 Sephoras but with no luck. We went home empty handed and see if we could get it at home on  website insted.

My birthday came up May 16th, and of course the UD NAKED Palette was on my wish list(for the 2nd time).
Both of my parents had tried like crazy to find it, and the impossible happend. My mom found it on beautybay.com! She was following beautybay on facebook and saw a post about it being in stock so she got it for me. On my birthday she had made a "fake" NAKED Palette out of a little box and pictures of the front. I really thought it was the real one for a minute and my mom told me it was on its way.


I got the NAKED Palette in mail, not to long after and I've used it almost everyday since!
It is so veritale and ypu can create almost every look you want to.

I recommend you get it, RIGTH NOW!!! As in this moment! You can get it here! 



Take care, and stay beautiful,

XOXO,

Camille

Creative Project

Hello everyone!


Soo.. A couple of weeks ago we had a creative project at my school. The students were in charge, and should write and produce everything by our self. It was an amazing experience and fun to try something new and different, because we are not normally very creative at this school.

All of the actors that should be in the spotlight on the stage had to wear make up and I was lucky enough to get to help the teachers in the make up room. YAY!!!! It was SO cool and I was totally excited about it.

I only have pictures of one of the girls, I did make up on. Her name is Mathilde and she has amazing style and a awesome fashion blog. ! Take a look at it!

Much love,

XOXO

Highlighting & Contouring 101

Hello everyone!




So for a little while I've been thinking what to do on the blog, and I came across this idea!
It's not something that I use everyday at all, but it is nice to know, when you are doing your makeup, either a party or just for fun. It really can transform your face shape and features. 


Below, on the two pictures, you can see what I'm talking about.

Highlighthing & Contouring 101

Where, what and how?

Rule #1 : Darker colors push back areas while lighter colors bring them forward.

What You Will Need
* To contour, you will need a color that is one to two shades darker than your foundation or powder. You can use a brown eyeshadow, bronzer or a darker foundation. I prefer a matte or very little to no shimmering bronzer. This will look the most natural.

* To highlight, you will need a color that is one to two shades lighter than your foundation or powder. You can use a shimmery white/beige eyeshadow, a lighter foundation or a highlighter.

* I highly recommend using pressed powders or liquid formulas as they are the easiest to use. Remember to pick a color that is neutral, i.e. one that is not too yellow or too pink.

Areas to Highlight

* Front of the forehead
* On the bridge of your nose
* Right above your cheeks
* Inner corner of your eyes
* Browbone
* Center of your chin
* Cupid’s bow (above your lips)

So are contouring and highlighting necessary for everyone? No but everyone can definitely benefit from a little contouring and highlighting. All you need is practice and make sure everything is well-blended (seriously, who would want lines on their faces?!)

Contouring and highlighting also look best under evening lighting so if you are going to be in an environment with really bright light, I would recommend keeping it to a minimum.

Some of my favorite highligthers are:

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in 'Soft and Gentle', which you can get here.
This is a powder highlighter in a light golden colour.

Benefit 'High Beam' which you can get here.
This is a pinky toned liquid highlighter.



Areas to Contour

* Under your cheekbones
* Along both sides of your nose
* Bottom of your chin
* Jawline
* Creases of your eyes
* Temples (the sides of your forhead)

Some of my favorite contour/bronzing powders are:



You start off with just foundation, concealer and powder on your face. (or maybe as I do, only with powder and concealer)

ELF 'Blushing and Bronzing Powder', which you can get here.
It has the perfect bronzed colour with a tiny bit of shimmer and suits many skin tones.



MAC 'Harmony' Powder Blush, which you can get here.
The medium matte brown colour makes it easy to contour naturally with.



Then now, you would maybe use a bronzer, to warm up your complexion a bit. BUT! Now to the fun(and a little tricky part)


Take your bronzer or what ever you are using, and lightly dipping your brush in the product(remember to tap off the excess, the same goes with eyeshadow!!! That way you wont get too much on, it's always easier to build up the colour than removing the entire thing) and apply it, the places thats darker on the photo.

Do the same thing with highlighter, just with a light eyeshadow, highligther or whatever you'll find in you makeup bag, thats lighter than your skintone, and apply it where the lightest areas on the photo is. Sometimes when I highlight my eyes, I like to use a white eyeliner as a base so the highlight is more visable.

I hope you found this post useful somehow. Its just the basics of this subject, and I can maybe do a full-face-makeup tutorial with everything that belongs to that.


Good luck!


Much love and XOXO,

Camille

Chocolate for the face?!

DIY: Chocolate Face Mask!

Hey everyone!

So.. Here is a fun DIY face mask, with chocolate!

Cocoa is high in anti-oxidants which help the skin to fight against free radicals. There are a few 'Chocolate' skincare products in the market but they are quite hard to find. Why not make your own mask and treat yourself?

As with all nutritive sweeteners, honey is mostly sugars and contains only trace amounts of vitamins or minerals. Honey also contains tiny amounts of several compounds thought to function as antioxidants, including chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase, and pinocembrin.

Yoghurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. It moisturizes the skin alot.(yay!) 

(The point is, that honey, yogurt and cocoa is really great for your skin!)

I love making my own masks because it's so much fun and gives great results but remember that results don't happen over night. You must be consistent and patient.

Let's get going!

Here is what you'll need:

• 2 spoons of cocoa powder

• 2 spoons of yogurt (organic if you have it, if not it's okay)

• 1 spoon of honey (organic if you have it at home, if not it's okay) 

• A small bowl to mix the mask

STEP 1

Put the cocoa, yogurt and honey in the bowl

STEP 2

Mix it well, until the mixture is smooth

STEP 3

Put the mixture on your clean and makeup-free face(!!!)
(the mask works better with clean skin),

until you have a even layer on your face, except your eye- and mouth area.

STEP 4

Let the mask sit for 20-25 minuttes before you rinse it off.

Remember to continue with the rest of your usual skincare routine. 

Enjoy!

I really hope you try out this fun mask, it really does soften and moisturezes your skin!

Take care and stay beautiful!

 

XOXO

DIY: Easy Marbling Nails!

Hey everyone!

I havent blogged in forever (I'm so sorry!), my camera died and I havent been able to find any new batteries, but I think my dad finally found some! These pics are shot with an iPhone so the quality is not the best, but I hope you get the idea of how to do these cool nails!

So, a couple weeks ago I found this really  cool way to change up your nail polish super easy!

Today I finally tryed it out and thought I should to a tutorial on it. You can totally do this with all your nails if you want, I just didnt have the time so I only did my ringfinger as an accent nail.

The things you will need:

Minimun 2 differnt nailpolishes

A plastic container with water in it

A needle - or something else shap

  

Cotton pads - to remove the remove rest of the nailpolish

Tape - To avoid getting nailpolish all over your finger

STEP 1

 

Find all the things you'll need. It will make the result way prettier and so much more easy not to mess it up, trust me, I did that the first time I tryed.. Well lets say it did'nt look so good.

STEP 2

 

Choose one of your nail polishes and let it drop in the water.

The polish is going to spread a part - I found that it will only work with thin nail polish. If you use a thicker polish it will not spread - it will just stay.

Keep dropping nail polish in the water on top of the drops your already have, and continue doing that until you have a good amount of nail polish.

And at a point it should look like this.

STEP 3

Find your needle and start dragging
the colours together to create
the marbling effect.

Soon you will see the pattern form.

STEP 4 

 

Dip your finger in the polish and hold it in for about 10 sec. 

Then, with your other hand, 

take a the cotton pad and 

remove the polish around your finger. 

If you skip this step it will ruin the pattern. 

STEP 5

 

Carefully, lift your finger from

the water and see the result!

Wait 5 min. for it to dry, 

and remove the tape!

If there is nail polish on your finger go ahead and remove it wth some nail polish remover.  

I really hope you enjoyed this little tutorial, trust me - I have a lot more on the way!

XOXO,

Camille
