My Nails - French design #1

 I think it's more fun to paint my nails when they are long and that's probably because I really like to do some kind of design with a french tip involved.
I have used a random old sheer silver glitter on the whole nail and two layers of a white polish from e.l.f. to do the french tip. For the lines, that remind me of seaweed, I have used acrylic paint. Then a few light purple rhinestones to add something more and finish the design.

Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Daily Oil Elixir


Over the winter my hair got pretty dry and I heard a lot about different hair oils, so I wanted to try one to get my hair in better condition. This is the one I went for.
You can use it before you wash you hair, after in damp hair or after you have styled it. I always use two pumps of it after I have washed my hair because I think it works the best that way, but it can be different for different people.
It doesn't make my hair feel or look greasy at all and it doesn't weigh it down. I find that it also makes my hair dry quicker which I like since I always let my hair air dry.
My hair feels really soft after using this oil and looks shiny and healthy.
I would really recommend this product if you have dry hair since it have help my hair so much and it doesn't cost much compared to some other hair oils.

With/Without blue eyeshadow for brown eyes


As you probably already know there are certain colours that are good if you want to enhance your eye colour. I have brown eyes and the colour that enhances brown is blue.
So on the picture above I have one eye with just eyeliner and mascara and one with some blue eyeshadow under the lower lashline too.
I think my eye looks more life full with the blue under. It also looks a bit more fun with a pop of colour.


The blue eyeshadow is 5H from this palette from Viva La Diva. It is a quite true blue with some shimmer. It looks a bit lighter when it's applied though.

My Nails - Mattte Pink/Purple


After I saw this video a couple weeks ago I really wantet to try that technique. I have a matte top coat polish but it doesn't work that good to be honest. So yesterday I boiled some water and painted my nails.
It actually worked really good, as you can see on the picture.
The colour of the nail polish, Depend nr. 193, looks more purple here than it is. It's more pink in real life.

My skincare routine


These are all the products I use for my skincare right now and I'm quite happy with all of them.
The first thing I do on the night is to use the Nivea Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover. I used to use one from L'oreal that I loved but I actually think I like this one even more. It's so easy to get rid of both eyeliner and mascara, and it's goes fast. That might be because it's made for waterproof make up and the make up I use isn't.
Next I use the Nivea pure and natural cleansing milk for all skin types. It says on it that you're supposed to use it with a cotton pad but I find that it works much better to use it on wet face with my hands, then wash it off.
After that I scrub my face with the Neutrogena visibly cleas pink grapefruit daily scrub. This is also I product I really like. I feel like my skin has become more clear since I started using this. It's a quite gentle scrub so there is no problem with using it everyday. It also smells good which is always a plus.
Now I need to moisturize my skin with the Nivea  Daily Essentials Nourishing Day Care. I do like this but now I have the one for dry skin, which was what I needed on the winter, bot now I think one for combination skin would be better and that's probably the one I'm going to buy when I'm out of this one. (Yes I use a day cream on the night).
Last I use my Vitamin E Eye Cream from The Body Shop that you can read what I think of here.

On the morning I just use the cleansing milk which makes my skin feel fresh and then I moisturise with the same cream as on the night.

Btw, follow my blog on bloglovin if you want!


Btw again, I have now I header that I'm happy with!

Outfit #3


My outfit today is really simple with a grey oversized t-shirt, black tights and a black bodycon skirt under. That skirt is probably one of my favourite things in my closet. I'm that kind of girl that doesn't like jeans but wear tights all the time instead. Bodycon skirts are the such a good thing to wear either under the top so I don't show my bum or to tuck the top in the skirt which I think gives it a little more 'dressed' look a guess. While it looks more casual to have the top over the skirt. Mine is from H&M and even though it's cheap it has good quality. I have had mine for at least half a year and it's just as nice as when I first bought it.
When my outfit is so simple I love to play with jewelry. Today I mixed gold and silver.
I love this watch. I think the thing I like about it is that it looks more like a bracelet than a watch.
It's from a webshop called cocoo.se. I got it for my birthday last year so they don't sell it anymore, but they do sell a lot of nice jewelry.

My Nails - Orange Flower


Here is the nail art I have on my nails now. I wanted something spring inspired and what's better for that than flowers?
I really like it and I like how it looks when the outlines of the petals doesn't really outline them if you get what I mean.
If you have any idea of a cool nail design then please leave a comment. I don't have that much inspiration right now so it would really help! Or if you want me to write a post about something or do a make up for that matter.
