Updated skincare routine

And i'm back with an updated skincare routine. I mentioned earlier that my skincare routine has been changed. My Vichy bottles are empty so it was time for something new. And of course I chose Mary Kay. Good stuff! The first time I tested MK: s skincare I tried the Botanical series. But I quickly change to the Timewise Miracle set. Why? well first of all I wanted something that was for early sign of aging, the second reason was the day and night solution (day and night serum). The last reason is that all skin care series come in two sorts; for normal/dry skin and for combined/oily skin. So it was easy to choose the one that was right for me. And to make it simple they have two colors for the different sorts. Pink - normal/dry and purple - combined/oily. So technically you don´t even have to remember what kind you need, just remember the color. Anyway, I have the color purple (combined/oily). As always you don´t have to start with all four steps, like I did. I love this things so it´s no problem. But if youre not used to skincare two times a day it can be a bit much. My mom started with cleansing, moist and eyecream. I use cleansing, day or night serum, moist and eyecream. And it works for me...

Step 1: Timewise 3 in 1 cleanser.

Step 2: Timewise Day solution (to the left), with Spf 30. Timewise Night solution (to the right). They both makes the skin feel so great!

Step 3: Timewise Firming eye cream.

Step 4: Timewise age fighting moisturizer.

This four steps I do every day, morning and night. And yes, it's so worth it. I have sensitive skin and need to take care of it. It's important for me to find something that feels good. I don´t go for ok, i´m looking for great and so far it feels great. If you have problem with your skin, whether it's dryness, oilyness, breakouts or whatever, you know the importance of good skincare! 

The weekly makeup

And december has begun! I'm so excited. The plan today was to take a trip to Stockholm and see a theater with one of my favorite swedish actors, Persbrandt, but it was canceled because someone in the production was sick and so we couldn't go. I was so sad because I have been looking forward to this for so long. So instead we had lunch with my mum and dad and then we took a stroll on the town. After that we have pretty much done nothing but lay in the couch,eating christmas candy and other junk and watching christmas movies I think you need days like this sometimes. So it turned out pretty good. I have added some more christmas-stuff to our home. A beautiful christmas tree made out of white feathers. It´s like a bunch of angels but their wings together and made a tree, so pretty! But unfortunately my cat really likes it to so I have to put it somewhere safe...

This week's makeup look is simple yet a bit more dramatic. The main color is a beautiful teal turquoise from Sigma. I think I have done a similar look before but then using Aquadisiac by MAC instead. This is a look I have been wearing a lot lately, it doesn't take long and still makes your eyes pop. Add some mascara or falsies and they wil pop even more, and we like that don´t we? ;-)

Products used:
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk: As a base over the whole eyelid. These eye pencils are really good bases but they can crease a bit, especially the lighter color like Milk (white) and Pots and Pans (silver). So blend the out well.
Sigma eyeshadow in Orsay from the Paris palette: Then taking this amazing color on a flat brush like the Sigma E55 and placing the color over the inner two thirds of the lid.
MAC eyeshadow in Legendary Lure (from the Alluring aquatica collection): I just have to say that I think this is MAC:s best collection ever! The colors are so beautiful and magic and the cases are even better with water drops on. I love the sea and everything that comes with it! Anyway, For this color I used an angled brush, Sigma E70, and placed it on the outer corner of the eyelid and working it up in the crease.
MAC eyeshadow in White frost: This color was used as a highlight under the eyebrow but also on the inner corner of the eyelid, the tear duct area and under the lower lashline´s inner part. For this I used Sigma E30.
IsaDora colorful eyeliner in Black: The line and the wing was not to big and dramatic, I wanted the focus to be on the colors. But an eyeliner always completes a look.
Maybelline the Rocket volum express mascara: Guess where I put it...That´s right on my eyelashes! hihi
Benefit Speed Brow: Yup, to shape the eyebrows.
Maybelline eyestudio in smoky black: With a small angled brush like Sigma E65 I filled in the eyebrows where needed.

And that´s it my friends! Simple huh?

Have a good rest of the week!

Welcome lovely december

Hey guys!
I know, I haven't been around in over a week but what can I say...december has begun. A lot of things has happened. The first thing that happened was me registering as a skincare consultant for Mary Kay. It feels really fun and exciting, yet a bit nervous. But so far so good. And as you might have guessed from my weekly makeups I like Mary Kays products, both skin care and makeup. And since I have used Mary Kay skincare for a while now I´m going to do a new skincare routine-post.
Let me tell you about this hectic week...Last weekend I made gingerbread houses with my mum, sister, aunt and cousin. We play christmas music and had a fun time. Then on monday it was open house with christmas theme in my skin care consultant´s (now colleague) studio. I guess you can call it my first official evening as a Mary Kay consultant. I had invited family and friends and it was so much fun to show them all the goodies Mary KAy has to offer and it was especially fun to see everyone and just have nice evening together.
On tuesday I went on a little trip to my grandparents. It´s one of my favorite places to be. So peaceful and beautiful. And I love spending time with my grandparents. I was there all day. On wednesday we decorated the gingerbread houses, me and mum.
Then friday came and after work I made snickers, chocolate balls and chilli truffles. Then I fell asleep on the couch and woke up in my bed the next day. I was so tired I didn't even wake up when Danne carried me to the bed.
Saturday was pretty exhausting, we cleaned the apartment from floor to roof and the we took out all the christmas decorations and decorated our lovely home. When all was done we sat down in the couch and watched Disney´s A Christmas carol.
Yesterday it was the first sunday of Advent (or what it´s called in english) And a another family tradition took place. We always go somewhere and eat the first christmas dinner/buffé. And after that we all went home to my place and drank mulled wine. After all that I made the christmas ham but both me and Danne was so full from eating all day that we saved it for today's breakfast. And now i´m doing a whole bunch of nothing, preparing for work. No fun!

Back to the fun stuff, look at my decorations below

"And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hope that Saint Nicholas soon will be there" Well we don´t have chimney but still...

If there's no snow outside you make your own.

 Danne made this sculpture when he studied art, and I gave her a little sleeping angel  = )

I hope you liked this post and, like me, looking forward to this christmas month.
