Late summer suntan

With skin so hot, it will melt you popsicle!
Or not, but still :p
_____________________________________________

So, im not quite the tanning person myself. I used to be, but i have begun to fear the whole skincancer nightmare toomuch to take the risk of real sun or sunbeds. Not that i wear big hats and sunscreen all over when i go out, cause i dont..(even thoug we probably should do so) But i don't lie in the sun and fry for hours for a tan. I cheat!

I don't like being pale but im normally to lazy to use my self-tanners too often. But when i do so, i have my favourites :)

 In first place i have my absolute favourite. "The instant tan gel" from Gosh. It's a dark brown almost blackish gel you rub all over your body and face and the color immediately gives you a nice tan. It dosn't at all smell like a selftanner, but like a soap or something. And thats thumbs of for me! And it comes of when you shower.


In second placei have my "Sommer Glow bodylotion" by Dove. This one in the picture is with shimmer buti use the regular as well. Its just your typical bodylotion with a gradual tan. But i like this one cause to my it seems less oreangy and doesn't has as strong a odour as others. Thumbs up!


And in third place i have my "Tan-in-a-can" by Sunspa.I only use this if im going somerwhere big and really want a tan. It's a good spray tan for homeuse with no streaking because of the aerosol can. But it smells like a traditional spraytan, sadly.. But it's still worth it when you wanna go allover! Deffinetly easier then with a gelor lotion you have to rub in.


Enjoy the last bits of summer!
We are just moments away from covering ourselfs all up for the new season

Eyerliners - Favourites and newbies

Eyeliners! .. A girls best friend (next to a mascara)!
                     _____________________________________________________________

In my opinion a eyeliner is just as importent as a mascara. Most times anyways! My absolute favourite must be one i discovered like a couple of months ago.

1# The Maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel eyeliner 24H in Black.
It is a perfectly creamy consistency with a solid color and with no sheen. It comes with a little brush which is actually pretty descent! Its a little flat  brush which makes it possible to controle the thickness of your line when your doing your eyeliner.

And the reasn its my favourite.. it really does last!! 24hours im not sure, but if i put it on and go out at night, partying or what not, and come home and fall asleep with my makeup one - its still good when i wak up! No THATS and amazing eyeliner! Thumbs up for this little pot of magic!

Im not really sure what it cost, but i think it was just about 100kr - which is just under 20 us dollars.

A good cheaper ''dupe'' for the maybeline one is the Wet'N'Wild Mega eyes cream liner in Black. Its about half´the price of the maybelline and pretty good at the cost. But ofcause its not as good quality. The packeging is plastic and not glass like the maybelline one and the brush is a poor excuse of a brush. But the product itselfe feels exactly like the maybelline one. But it dryes out about amonth after opening thoug.. but i think that is because of the poor packeging and not the product.



1# Liquid eyeliner - Rimmel Glam'eyes
This is a really good liquid eyeliner! I just reasently bought this,  Its a brush and not a felttip, but if your used to aply liquid eyeliner its not a problem. Its a solid color (unlike my former fab - the l'oreal carbon liner) and it hasn't got a sheen like the l'oreal one either. The price is very nice too, i believe i paid about 60kr for it because of a discount the store had.

Another good one is a liner from Nivea, i cant remember the full name but it was rich in color and with a brush just like this one. Only con is that it could feel like it was ''stinging' a little near the lashes when you apply it. (never expeirenced that with any other :s)

1# Kôhl pencil liner - Maybeline KôhlExpress liner

I dont use kôhlpencils that often but when i do i love to use the maybeline KôhlExpress! Its affordable and its rich in color, easy to blend and if you set it with a bit of black shadow it stays put. So, thumbs op for another little maybelline miracle!
