Goldilux

I don't seem to get along with gold eyeshadow very well.

Not that it looks horrible on me, but I just seem to find it rather boring once I put it on - even if it's an awesome color like Goldilux, and even if that awesome color is applied on top of Pixie Epoxy, which makes it even more awesome. Yeah, a whole lot of awesomeness turned into "mehh" once the look is done.

What's your favorite way to wear gold eyeshadow?

And do you ever feel like there are other colors that look more amazing by themselves than they do in a finished look?

Blogging, how I've missed thee!

I'd like to start with a statement: I love blogging.

And now that my exams are over, and I'm looking to spend my time doing exactly what I want instead of thinking about deadlines and grades all the time, I might actually have some time for the blogging world again!

I want blogging to be fun!

I don't really make money off of it and my blog isn't nearly as professional looking as so many others out there. But I love it anyway. Blogging is a source of inspiration to me, and I'd like to keep it going. I hate thinking back at the past year and realizing that I haven't done nearly as much makeup as I'd have liked and definitely haven't posted as much either.




However, since I can't change that, I'll try my best to keep up with the blog for the summer - and hopefully long after that as well, but let's face it - I shouldn't promise anything. I hate starting every post with "sorry I haven't posted, but I've been busy" and lame excuses like that.

Anyway,

the point of this post really wasn't to ramble on and on, but to share some random FOTDs I've done the past couple of months but never got around to posting.


I'm not entirely sure what I used in them, but I figured it was something to share :)

E.L.F: First impressions and everyday look

I love trying out different brands and products, so I was excited to finally try some ELF products!
I wanted to try to film a "first impressions"-type video, so I've included that and would love to know what you think about it.

As I say in the video, I was very pleasantly surprised by the products - I think they're pretty good, especially considering the price. The products I tried out are pretty basic; eye pencil, gel liner, blush, lipgloss and brushes, but ELF has so many different products, so I'm really curious to try more of them!

The ELF products were sent to me by ELF Cosmetics Denmark and the products are priced between DKR 12.96 and 30.24. 

Glitter, glitter, glitter!

I've been neglecting fun makeup. Badly.
Mostly because I'm too busy, but when I finally sit down to play around with it, I feel like I don't know where to begin since I've been in such a rut. Actually, I think it has something to do with me wanting to do something absolutely crazy and amazing when I finally do have the time, so I end up not wanting to do anything at all.

For this look, I tried picking a product(the glitter) to do a look without trying too hard to do something super crazy ;)

The Red Shoes tutorial

This is such an old look that I never got around to posting - probably mostly because the pictures are quite terrible.

However, I really wanted to share the look since I love the makeup itself.
Inspired by The Red Shoes, which you should absolutely watch if you haven't ;)

There's the inspiration picture as well as a video tutorial behind the cut :)
