What I miss in Sweden

Being in Cratioa is awesome for many reasons, but one of my favorite is of course all of the endless brands that exists in Croatia but not in Sweden. One of these is the Evelyn Brand from Switzerland.

The Nailpolish that I use is Maximum Nails Growth, and really strenghtens my nails and makes them grow long. It gives a soft nude color. I paint my nails with it every day, for 5 days, then I take of the 5 day layer and repeat the process. It is possible to also put another color over this one.

The Argan Oil SOS Lash Booster is a new product since my lashes have become shorter or even fell off since I made the eyelash extension. I put this booster every night before sleep or even before I put mascara on. Soon as these products start work I will give You guys before and after photos.

Eveline also has a lot of other miracles for bras, nails, eyelashes and other thing we girls obsess over.

Lots of Love,
CM

Contour part 1

As all of the beutyqueens ot there, I 've also fall for the magic of contour. A trick where you use darker and brighter shades on your face in order to make your face more flawless. In this post I will share which make up I use, and some day soon, when I have the opportunity to make up my face I will show You exactly what to use and where on Your face to put it.

This is my favorite make up and brands to use, but I use them for different occasions. From upper corner left; Highlighter Mary Louminizer, Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour kit - medium, Mac FIX + setting spray, Sephora Contour Kit, Sleek Contour Highlight Blush kit.

The brusher are from Real Techniques.

These are the one I use often during day or for casual occasion. First I set my foundation (in powder form) then I put Mac Fix+ setting spray. This makes it easier to contour with powder. Sometimes I use the Sephora Kit as it looks very natural, has different shades and is easy to work with. I work in a clothing store and want my make up to look natural when eating costumers. The sleek palette also looks natural but the highlight palette is a bit shimmering. This one I use when I want to the cheekbones to shimmer a little but, for instance if I'm going for a coffee or if I simply want to look more glamorous. The brush is from Real Techniques Sculpting Brush.

This Anastasia Beverly Hills Kit really is something special but it takes time and practice to learn how to blend it, and which techniques look good for each one. I am not sure if you can buy it everywhere in Europe yet but beautybay.co.uk has a great price for this one. I would not recommend this one if you're a beginner but when you know the techniques and want to develop your contouring this is perfect. The brush I use is Real Techniques Concealer brush and the sponges from Real Techniques.

Finally, theBalm Mary Lou Manizer is the best Highlighter I ever had. It is extremly shimmering and I love to use it when I need that extra glow. The brush is from Real Techniques Blush Brush. I would recommend this if you love the glow no matter if you are a beginner or a pro.

Glossybox december

I never doubted my Glossybox membership. Every month, I recieve a wonderful surprise, a box full of beauty items. Mostly new brands to discover, which either does not exist in stores or simply never gets discovered.

This months box was really good. A carmex lipbalm is essential in my beautybag but the thing I'm most impressed with is the Naobay skin toner. It makes the skin smooth and calm. Will defenitley buy this toner again.

Best. Facemask. Ever.

Hi lovlies,

Hope everyone is having a great sunday despite the horrible things that are happening in Paris and Europe :(

I tought I would share my secret to healthy, glowing skin trough the windy and cold winter. It's affordable, ecological, totally NOT tested on animals and most important of all - it works!

Mask of Magnaminty from LUSH. I have normal skin with some breakouts through the winter. This mask really helps my skin to remain healthy and eliminate the breakouts.

As for the rest of the LUSH face mask, I have not tested all of them but I can't imagine anything else than the mask beeing great for any type of skin problem.

Let me know what You think about LUSH products.

Love you all

Sustainable outfits

Hey sweeties

This month I've bought some outfits at the clothing store KappAhl, that I'm working at, and I'd like to share my favourites with You.

The white t-shirt is from K by KappAhl collection made from sustainable cotton! The fur-cardigan is so cozy and one of my favourite autumn products, and the paisley-patterned pants are supercool and comfy!

Recently I've realized the importance of buying clothes from fair-payed workers with human working-conditions, made from ecological and sustainable fabrics. It makes me proud that KappAhl aims to produce sustainable fabrics!

Love,

Great shopping

I was in Malmö for some days now, and did some great shopping!

I went to Emporia mall like a half hour before they closed and saw Victorias Secret and Sephora and had time for only those two.

Didn't do much shopping and regret that I didn't buy some of the things in Sephora but I found out they're opening in my town Gothenburg at the end of July so I'll have a complete shopping list untill then.

I loved the lipstick from Sephora, gorgeous colours and melts perfectly on the lips.

The lipstick from Victorias Secret are also great, I would really recommend them, yummiee!

Hope You're all having a nice weekend!

My prayers have been answered

OMG, I lost my breath this morning finding out BALMAIN is doing HM this fall! I can't wait and I'm already preparing financially!
The shirt Jourdan Dunn wears really breaths Balmain.
Then I also like Kendall's blazer, and I would totally wear it to high-waist trousers with nothing beneath, and hopefully pull off a hot Kim inspired look.

Are You guys excited?

Love,
CM

Love for Sneakers

So, trough last years I've grown some kind of love-hate for sneakers. I tought of them as as not classy and nog fitting into my lady-look a like office-appropriate kind of style. But last couple of months I realised I don't have that kind of style anymore and I really need to wear what I find cool, comfortable and approprite for me and not desperetly try to shop trough a filter and customize my clothes into a category I tought I fit into.

So now I'm going out on a search for the perfect sneakers.

What would You wear?

Olive with white

Olive green is often asociated with A/W collections but I would love it during the summer with white outfit underneath a oversize olive green coat. Choose white or nude heels.

How do You like this? Would You change it?

Kardashian as a style icon?

So, the other day I was havig a green smoothie with my BFF and our conversation went on to Kardashians, their jobs, style, lives, everything. And as we gossiped on with a little bit of envy, neither of us would admit, we could agree on one thing; their style has really changed into becoming almost iconic, especially Kim.

And it's funny how someone who is rich, and have money to buy stylists, make up artists, clothes, shoes, and everything could become iconic.

For me, a style icon is someone with wide knowledge about everything related to fashion, someone who makes art of fashion and someone who does it on their own terms. Bought style can not make a style icon in my oppinion.

And here I am, arguing myself because despite my strong oppinion, I still can't help myself admiring Kim's style and wish I have her closet.

What do You think about the Kardashians style?
