Wedding perfection! The dress, the headpiece, the location, almost like a fairy tale. The dress is from Sass & Bide, and is truly a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I will most definitely try making a DIY for a feather crown.

Must-haves
This is my most essential beauty products, that I mostly use everyday and simply cannot do without.
Water and sleep
The most obvious beauty tip one can give! Staying hydrated and getting enough sleep is crucial.
Favorite perfume
Smelling good is really a mood lifter. Picking your scent is as personal as finding the right foundation shade for your skin. It has a science behind it along with a touch of personal preference. The combination between the chemicals that our bodies produce and the perfume that we choose will ultimately determine if that specific scent suits us. Perfume always have three notes, top, middle and base. The base note will last you the longest. When you are picking out you signature scent, it is important that you smell for all these notes before deciding. I typically go for sweet ones that smell fruity. My favorite at the moment is Taj Sunset from Escada, but I switch it up all the time. It smells like mangos, with a hint of pineapple, orange and peach. I always get lots of compliments on it.
Lip balm
Keeping your lips moisturised is actually more important than many would think. It should be a part of your daily routine. Licking your lips instead of putting on lip balm will only do more damage, and may cause them to dry up and chap. The lip balm provides a protective layer on the surface of your lips and seals the moisture in. My favorite is the strawberry one from Rosebud, it smells like candy! And it will literally last you forever. I have it with me at all times.
Body butter
An important part of my everyday routine is putting on lotion, and since I have dry skin I find a body butter best fit for the job. I always buy mine at The body shop, my favorite at the moment is the peach one. If you use the right skin care body lotion your skin would have a healthy and glowing look. An essential step before putting on lotion are scrubbing! Once a week is enough. Doing this will make your skin soft and smooth, it also reduces the chance of premature aging.
White eyeliner
White eyeliner can work wonders, I use it almost everyday. It is literally an eye opener. Apply a light line on the lower waterline, if it turns out to harsh blend it out abit. I have been using the shade called satin white from Isadora for a long time, and they dont test on animals!
Face spray
I have really dry skin, and in the wintertime it is truly a nightmare. After applying my makeup it is difficult to moisturize with a gel or creme without ruining the makeup, so then I use a face spray instead. You can also use it to prep your skin for makeup, set your makeup, especially nice for getting rid of that powdery look after application, or as a moisture boost on-the-go. Mine is from Clinique and is part of the moisture surge set.
Eye-makeup remover
Gettin off mascara or heavy eye-makeup after a night on the town can be quite tricky! I find that it always help to use something targeted for this purpose, to avoid unnecessary stretching and pulling on the thin and sensitive skin around the eyes. I have put my trust in one from TheBalm, called balms away.
You may find my full skin-care routine here, where I use some of these products.
Freedom in solitude
Time for a new lookbook. For those of you who cant tell, its from Spell. If anyone ever want to be really nice to me, please buy this. Thank you.
My week
I have spent my easter holiday in Turkey, consisting of fashion, starbucks coffee and lots of sun! It was a huge downer coming home to the cold. Fingers crossed that I took with me some of the heat. I didnt have much internet the last couple of days, being the computer nerd I am it has provided quite the challenge. But it left me with more time to get a tan, and since I was so pale to begin with it didnt take long for me to get a slightly warmer complexion. Since thighs are the devil down there and, one have to cover up even though it is insainly hot outside. In spite of that I’m still looking forward to going back this summer. All the photos are taken with the instagram app, if you havent checked it out yet go ahead right now!
Primer potion
The product claims that by applying this potion on your eyelids before your eyeshadow, you will get a long-lasting, more vibrant eyeshadow that doesnt crease. It will last you like half a day, but may crease if the air is humid enough. Before I bought this stuff I never bothered to wear eye makeup because it would always crease and wear off. And with the new packaging you dont have to worry about not getting out all the product. Typically I have to apply it with my finger tip but that really isn’t much of an inconvenience. And you only need a small amount, so it last quite a while!
However, the primer dry up very fast. So once your have gotten the product out of the package be quick to apply it and blend out. If you dont it may look dry and flaky. It does not live up to its hype, and there may be better products out there. I have only tried the original and have yet to test out the one from MAC, but will use the full tube before purchasing anything similar.
Urban Decay does not test on animals which is a big pluss, although, I wish it didnt contain any parabens.
Fresh mint
I have a new color crush! Minty fresh and summerly.
Let’s party
I thought I would just tip you this amazing ebay store that sell great fashion pieces, inspired by bloggers, catwalks, designers etc. I have picked out four of my favorites, the links are clickable: sequin clutch, hair cuff, claw ring, 3D flower mesh jumper. I found my baroque sunnies in this store, craving the other items though!
Shady Lady
If you are looking for the perfect consistency in an eyeshadow, look no further! Each pallette contains 9 different shades, I have vol. 2 and 3, but I could have easily gone by with just one of them since they are very similar and will last me a long time. My favorite colors are racy kacy, a rusty brown, and insane jane which is the perfect taupe. Almost all the colors have amazing pigmentation aswell, I would dare to say better than MAC. And all the shades can be used either wet or dry. It also contains good ingredients that is great for people with sensitive eyes and contact wearers. The best of all is that its not tested on animals!
Never love a cowboy
I simply could not let you miss this amazing lookbook by Wildfox. I’m speechless!
