New Beauty Tricks

Hello everyone,


I found a few new beauty tricks, that I wanna share with you.


 Mix lemon with warm(or cold) water!
Here are three reasons why you should pair hot water with lemons: 
It’s a natural energizer! It hydrates and oxygenates the body so it feels revitalized and refreshed. It’s cleansing. According to NaturalNews.com, the citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification. 
It aids in digestion. Not only will this killer combination relive indigestion, it will also help flush you out.






Match your lip(or nail) colour with a clothing/ item! 
(great for the cold winter months!)
So no matter what shades are in your scarf, use them for makeup inspiration to create a beautifully harmonious allover look. Obviously, blues, greens, purples, blacks, greys, golds, silvers and browns from your scarf can be matched with eye shadow or eye liner, while pinks, reds and oranges are best matched with lip colors. 
And of course, yellows or any neons should probably only be matched with your nail color!


Home made face mist!
Save your small spray bottles! You can use it for this homemade facemist with peppermint tea. All you do is to steep (what is the right word??) until the tea is "ready" and poor it in to your small spray bottle and put it in your frigde. 
Spray your face when you have done your makeup - it will help shrink your poors! SO nice! ( I can do a DIY with this, if you want?)



I hope, that you try some of these tips. In a couple of days I have a little surprice for you, stay tuned!


Love always and take care,


Camille

NEW YEAR(beauty) RESOLUTIONS

newyears reolutions
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...).

 


 


Stay beautiful

Love always,

Camille

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
