Everyday rings

Rings are my favorite kind of jewelry. I quite a few but the ones I'm showing you in this post are the ones I wear the most. They are all quite small and simple so they go with almost everything.
These first two ones have been my favourite rings since I bought them in Camden in London last year. Both for £10 which was a really good price if you think about how much I use them. 

These rings in the pictures below are from a norwegian shop called BikBok. It was a pack with 10 small simple rings. The gold colour on them came off after I had used them only a couple times so some of them have more of a copper colour but I don't really mind that so much.

I'm going to show this nail polish in my next post if you want to know that it is.

Make up using Sleek Ultra Matte V1

This is the make up I came up with using the palette I showed in my last post. I think it's quite wearable considering the colours are so bright.

I've used nr. 2 all over the lid and nr. 3 in the crease, then nr. 10 and 12 to blend it out. Under the lower lashline I have nr. 8 and a little of nr. 4. I used blue under the eye because it's the best colour to enhance brown eyes and I thought it would be too much to have pink or purple all around my eyes. I also applied some black eye pencil on the water line and winged eyeliner.

Another easier way to use this palette is to just do a simple make up with eyeliner and then take whatever colour you like and suits you under the lower lashline. That way it will be wearable but with a pop of colour.

Sleek Makeup Eye Shadow Palette Ultra Matte V1

Since it's starting to feel a little like spring now I wanted to show you something with a lot of colours, and what's better for that than this palette?

Swatches on the top row (with no base under):

And the bottom row:

These eye shadows are all, as you can hear on the name, matte. I personally most often like shimmery eye shadows more that matte. Both because I think they look prettier and they are usually easier to work with.
As you can see on the pictures the darker/brighter colours are more pigmented than the lighter. Though the lighter colours are great to blend out the make up look with to make it softer. Also they all look better with a primer or any other base under.
I get a little fall down from them but if you make sure to tap off the excess you're fine. Or do your eye make up before your foundation.
I'm going to show you a make up with this palette in my next post so you can see what they look like on the eye and how I would use them.

Outfit #1

 This is what I wore yesterday. A quite simple outfit that you easily could make more fun by adding some jewelry, more that just the belt I'm wearing here.
A plain white top, a black cardigan, high-waisted shorts, black tights and this red belt with silver studds from H&M to add a little colour. I really like this belt. I don't wear that much colours, at least not on the fall and winter, therefore I like it to because it's an easy way to make many different outfits more fun.

My nails - White / IsaDora nr. 103 Pearly Frost

 

This is the polish I have on my nails now. It's one of my favorite even though I most often like colours on my nails.

It is a white polish with a frost finish and I think it's really pretty.

A different bun

Today I'm going to show you how I like to do a bun in my hair. It's a little different from how the usual bun looks like.

This is the things you will need; A teasing comb (or a normal one), a hair tie and a few bobby pins.

The first thing I do is teasing the hair on the crown on my head.

Brush out the teasing a little to make it look smoother, then I put my hair up in a ponytail. I make a loop and put the hair through it from underneath like in the picture below.

 After that I twist the hair around it and secure it with a few bobby pins.

This is what it looks like when it's done.

How I take care of my lips

I have quite dry lips so now I'm gonna tell you how I take care of them. It's really simple but it also works.
If you have dry lips it's important to exfoliate them to you get rid of the dead skin. I know there is many lipscrubs out there, I've heard good things about the ones from Lush for example. Even though I need to scrub my lips a couple times a week, at least on the winter, I have never tried a lip scrub. Instead I take a normal towel and have a corner of it under hot water. Then I squeeze out the excess water and use that corner as a scrub. I know you can to the same thing with a toothbrush but I find that that just hurts.

After I  have done that I need to moisturize my lips and for that I use carmex.

I, as many other, think that carmex is really good. I apply quite a lot of this on the night and when I wake up my lips are soft and nice.

I use this during the day then I feel like I need to but then I don't apply as much. I find that it works better for me to apply a little several times rather than applying a lot a few times during the day. 

If I want something moisturizing but also with some colour I use this.

I have it in the colour "Rose" which looks like this in the lips.

(I don't have any foundation on so sorry for my skin)

I think this lip balm is really good for its price. I can feel that it moisturizes my lips as the same time as it gives a pretty colour with good pigmentation considering it's a lip balm.I might need to apply this more often that the carmex to really keep my lips moisturized but I think it's worth it when I want some colour on my lips.
