Today's blog post is going to be another eBay wishlist post. I'm so happy to see that a lot of you enjoyed my previous one (HERE). Seeing your excitement makes me want to continue doing this little series off mine. I'm thinking about doing them every other week. What do you think about that? Let me know how often you would like to see them down in the comment section. So without any further ado, let's take a closer look at my eBay wishlist! :-)

WEEKLY MACRO VOL.76: OPI NAIL POLISH IN THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

OPI Nail Polish in The Living Daylights. 

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL: GERARD COSMETICS, H&M, MAC COSMETICS, OPI, NAILS INC, MAKEUP REVOLUTION, FREEDOM MAKEUP & MORE

Today, I have a collective beauty haul to share with you. I bought most of these products a while ago, but some were purchased just a couple of days ago. The amazing team over at Makeup Revolution and Freedom Makeup also sent me a couple of items to try out from their range of beauty products, so I thought that I would include them in this post as well.

Let me know if you have tried out any of the products down below. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on them. As always, if you would like to see reviews on any of the products mentioned in this post, let me know in the comments down below and I will work on that. Hope you enjoy the post! :-) 

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, (HERE) Rebel, (HERE) & Strobe Cream, (HERE).  

I stopped by the MAC Cosmetics beauty counter in the duty free store on our way back home from Thailand. I decided to splurge on a couple of items that I've had on my wishlist for a long time. I bought two lipsticks, Velvet Teddy and Rebel. I also picked up their Strobe Cream, which looks really nice. I have already tried it out, but I don't know what I think about it yet. I will have to get back to you on that one, once I've tried it out some more! :-)

 ♥ Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in 1995, (HERE) & Lighted Lip Gloss in Plum Crazy, (HERE). 

Gerard Cosmetics is a brand that I have been wanting to try out for such a long time. I finally decided to place an order and I couldn't be more happier with the two items that I ended up with. I wanted something neutral that I knew I would use a lot, so I decided to pick up their lipstick in 1995 and Lighted Lip Gloss in Plum Crazy. How gorgeous are these colors? Aaaah, I can't wait to use them both! :-)

 ♥ H&M Nail Polish in Hydrangea, (HERE), Beet It, (HERE) & OPI Nail Polish in You're Such a Budapest, (HERE). 

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I love nail polish. I recently picked up two more nail polishes from H&M's beauty range. I got my nails done in Thailand with H&M's nail polish in Full-On Fuchsia and it held up a whole week on my nails without any chipping. I didn't expect it to last that long on my nails, because it's really hot and humid in Thailand. So I'm very impressed with these, highly recommend that you check them out if you haven't done it already.

I also picked up You're Such a Budapest by OPI, which I have been wanting to get my hands on ever since it first came out. I'm super excited to paint my nails with this color, it's the perfect color now that we are heading into Spring in Norway! :-)

♥ Nails Inc The New Whites in Lilly Road, (HERE) & White Horse Street, (HERE). 

Nails Inc is a brand that I have heard so many wonderful things about. When I saw that they were having a sale on The New Whites Collection at the mall, I decided to pick up a couple of shades. I ended up with Lilly Road and White Horse Street, which looks gorgeous. How pretty are the bottles? I think they are stunning and they are quite heavy as well! :-)

 ♥ Lindex Gelpolish in Dark Plum & Gelpolish Top Coat, (HERE).

 ♥ Lindex Lip Liner in Dark Plum, (HERE). 

Lindex just re-opened up their store at the mall and they now have a new and approved beauty range. I haven't tried out any of their beauty products yet, which is why I wanted to pick up a couple of items. I ended up with their Gelpolish in Dark Plum as well as their Gelpolish Top Coat. I also picked up their lip liner in Dark Plum as well, which looks gorgeous. I swatched it at the store and fell in love with the color, hopefully it's good! :-)

 ♥ The Original MakeUp Eraser, (HERE). 

Another product that I'm really excited about is The Original Makeup Eraser. This is a cloth that removes your makeup with just water. I have heard lovely things about this product, so I can't wait to try it out for myself. I really hope that it works, imagine how much money you can save on makeup remover if it does! :-) 

 ♥ Makeup Revolution Flawless 2 Eyeshadow Palette, (HERE). 

 ♥ Makeup Revolution Flawless 2 Eyeshadow Palette, (HERE).

 ♥ Freedom Makeup Pro Artist Pad Black Arts, (HERE). 

♥ Freedom Makeup Pro Artist Pad Black Arts, (HERE). 

 The lovely team over at Makeup Revolution and Freedom Makeup sent me a nice care package with a couple of their new products to try out. I love the look of the two eyeshadow palettes that they sent me, the colors look so pretty. I really wanted to try out the Pro Artist Pad Black Arts by Freedom Makeup after seeing Dyna do a video about it on her YouTube channel. She raves about it in her video, (HERE), so I'm super excited to try it out for myself. I'm so thankful that Freedom Makeup sent it to me, I can't wait to play around with it.

Dyna is one of my favorite girls on YouTube, I always get so excited when she uploads a new video. If you haven't checked out her channel yet, you should do it. You can find her here! :-)

 Have you bought any new beauty products lately? What did you buy? Would you like to see reviews on any of the products above? Thanks for checking out my post, I really appreciate it! :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

SNEAK PEEK: OPI NORDIC MINI NAIL POLISH COLLECTION

♥ OPI Nordic Mini Nail Polish Collection. 

Today's blog post is going to be a sneak peek of the OPI Nordic Mini Collection. I have heard lots of really great things about the nail polishes from this collection and I got to say that the entire collection looks pretty tempting.

I'm thinking about doing a blog post with a review and swatches of the nail polishes in this cute little nail polish set. Is that something that you would like to see? Let me know in the comments down below and I will try to have that post up for you as soon as possible! :-) 

 ♥ OPI Nordic Mini Nail Polish Collection. 

♥ (L.R) My Dogsled is a Hybrid, Do you Have This Color in Stock-holm, My Voice is a Little Norse & How Great is Your Dane?

My favorite nail polishes in this set is hands down ''Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? and ''My Voice is a Little Norse''. They are both beautiful colors, which are perfect for this time around the year! :-)

What do you think about the OPI Nordic Mini collection? What's your favorite shade from this collection? :-) Love, Christine♥

The OPI Nordic Mini Collection set was a gift from Simon, my lovely fiancee.

BIRTHDAY HAUL: APPLE, BEAUTY BLENDER, CHINA GLAZE, H&M, MAYBELLINE, MAKEUP MEKKA, NIKE, OPI & SECHE

Happy Monday! How are you all doing today? I hope that you are having a lovely day so far. Last Monday (June 16th), I turned 25! I wanted to thank all off you for leaving me such lovely birthday wishes on Twitter, Facebook and in the comment section here on my blog. You guys are all so amazing, I'm forever grateful for your love and support.

Today, I wanted to share some off the items that I received for my birthday. I had such a lovely day. I got to spend it with my amazing mother and sister. Simon, my fiance had to work overtime but I did get to spend some time with him in the evening, which I'm very happy about! Now, let's take a look at the goodies! :-) 

♥ Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression Seamless Tights & iPhone 5s. 

Simon got me a Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression Seamless Tights, which I have been eyeing for a while. It looks and feels amazing, can't wait to start using it. He also got me an iPhone 5s, which is awesome. I have only had it for a week and I'm already obsessed with it. It's so sleek and pretty, love it! :-) 

♥ Beauty Blender & Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 110. 

My parents got me a new Beauty Blender, which I'm so excited about. The one that I'm currently using is looking rather nasty, LOL. They also got me the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 110. I have tried this foundation before and I absolutely love it, it's one off my favorites. The shade that I already have is 115, which I think is a little too dark for me. 110 is a lovely shade for me, it's a little pale but paired with 115 it's perfect!

They also got me the Seche Base Ridgle Filling Base Coat and the China Glaze Nail Polish in Spontaneous. I haven't tried these products before, so I'm so excited to give them a go. I have heard great things about the Ridgle Filling Base Coat from Seche. I have tried out their very popular Dry Fast Top Coat and I really like it. I haven't painted my nails in a while, so I think Spontaneous by China Glaze is going to be the next shade that I wear. Let me know if you would like to see a ''Nails Of The Day'' post, haven't done one in so long! :-) 

♥ Seche Base Ridge Filling Base Coat & China Glaze Nail Polish in Spontaneous.

 ♥ Cardigan from H&M.

My parents also got me this beautiful dress and cardigan from H&M. I adore the print and the white and blue color combination off the dress, it looks so pretty together. Both the cardigan and the dress looks awesome paired together with some black heels, can't wait to show you the look that I have in mind in an ''Outfit Of The Day'' post! :-) 

 ♥ Dress from H&M.

♥ OPI, Viva La Diva & Essie Nail Polishes.

My sister totally spoiled me with nail polishes! She got be a bunch off OPI, Viva La Diva and an Essie nail polish too. I'm really excited to try out some off these shades, they all look so pretty in their little bottles! :-) 

 ♥ OPI Nail Polish in Die Another Day, You Only Live Twice & Tomorrow Never Dies. 

♥ OPI Nail Polish in Number One Nemesis, Meet Me On The Star Ferry & Goldeneye. 

 ♥ Viva La Diva Nail Polish in 40, 22 & 84. 

 ♥ Viva La Diva Nail Polish in 127, 70 & 111. 

♥ Viva La Diva Nail Polish in 71, 61 & 121. 

♥ Essie Nail Polish in The Lace is On. 

 ♥ OPI Princess For A Day French Manicure Set & Makeup Mekka 5XL Volume False Lashes Effect Mascara.

The OPI Princess For A Day French Manicure Set and the Makeup Mekka 5XL Volume False Lashes Effect Mascara were not birthday gifts, but I thought I would include them in this haul anyway. The OPI Princess For A Day Set was gifted to me by Simon a while ago, and the Makeup Mekka 5XL Volume False Lashes Effect Mascara came in a fitness magazine that I purchased a few weeks ago. I absolutely love the french manicure look, so I'm excited to try out this set from OPI! :-)

I also received a little bit off money, which I have used towards some old and new beauty products that I have been lusting over for a while, the Lorac Pro 2 Eyeshadow Palette being one off them. I placed an order at Sephora and eBay. I will do a haul post as soon as I receive the items,  can't wait to show you what I picked up! :-)

Have you picked up any new beauty items recently? When's your birthday? Thank you again for all the lovely birthday wishes, it means a lot to me :-) Love, Christine♥

WISHLIST VOL.1: URBAN DECAY, OPI, SLEEK MAKEUP, BENEFIT, SALLY HANSEN, ZOYA & SEPHORA

Online shopping is my favorite way to shop, especially when it comes for beauty and fashion related things. One off my favorite stores is eBay. My eBay watch list is filled up with everything from shoes, handbags and makeup to jewelry, cute iPhone cases and nail art supplies. Unfortunately, there are also a lot off fake products on eBay. I always make sure to check out the seller's feedback and rating before I make a purchase. I have been pretty pleased and happy with most off my purchases so far, but there have been a few misses along the way.

Other online stores that I really enjoy besides eBay are Cloud 10 Beauty, BeautyBay, BeautyJoint, Lookfantastic and Sephora. Whenever I'm ordering from Sephora, I use a mail forwarding website called Shipito to get my items shipped directly to me. Shipito is very easy to use, the shipping isn't too expensive and the delivery time is pretty good. Shipito is the only mail forwarding website that I've tried, and I'm very happy with how it works! :-) 

I thought it would be fun to show you some off the items that I'm currently lusting over. Here we go! :-)

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked 3 (HERE), OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around (HERE), Benefit Hoola Bronzer (HERE) & Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat (HERE). 

♥ Sephora Perfection Mist Airbrush Foundation (HERE), Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation (HERE), Zoya Nail Lacquer in Payton (HERE) & Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Garden of Eden Eyeshadow Palette (HERE).

What items are on your beauty wishlist at the moment? See anything here that you want to try out? :-) Love, Christine♥

PRODUCTS WORTH BUYING VOL.4: OPI NAIL ENVY ORIGINAL

Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today? Did you have a good weekend? Did you do anything fun? Simon and I have been helping my parents move into their new apartment, which has been pretty hectic. Moving is a lot off work and time consuming, but I can't wait to move into a big house with my other half someday. Just talking about it makes me happy and even more excited about it, LOL!

This post is going to be another ''Products Worth Buying'' post. I have been having a lot off fun doing these type off blog posts, and I hope that you are enjoying them and finding them helpful as well. So if you want to know what I think about the OPI Nail Envy Original, then just keep reading! :-)

♥ OPI Nail Envy Original. 

OPI Nail Envy Original is a natural nail strengthening treatment, perfect for weak and damaged nails. I have been using it for quite a while now, and it's by far one off my favorite nail strengthening products available on the beauty market.

It's very easy to apply, and it makes the nails harder and stronger while giving them a shiny finish. If your not a big fan off the shiny finish, the OPI Nail Envy Matte is a great alternative as it dries invisible on the nails.  

 ♥ OPI Nail Envy Original.

♥ OPI Nail Envy Original.

The OPI Nail Envy Original has completely changed my nails for the better. My nails used to be extremely brittle, and they would break all the time. Now, they are a lot stronger, harder and they look a lot more healthier as well. I always start by applying two coats off this product onto my bare nails, then I keep applying one coat every other day to maintain the treatment. OPI Nail Envy Original can also be used as a top coat on top off your nail polishes, which is something I like to do all the time :-)

♥ OPI Nail Envy Original.

Overall, if you have thin and brittle nails, you need this product in your life. I can't even imagine going back to not using it, that's how much I enjoy it. I have always been impressed with OPI, their products are awesome and the quality is really good. Definitely let me know if you give the OPI Nail Envy Original a go, I would love to hear what you think about it! :-)

The OPI Nail Envy Original is currently on sale at BeautyBay for $25.80, you can check it out HERE.

Have you tried out the OPI Original Nail Envy? What do you think about it? Do you have a favorite nail strengthener? :-) Love, Christine♥

EBAY BEAUTY HAUL: NARS, SLEEK MAKEUP, OPI, FORMULA X FOR SEPHORA, CLINIQUE & SENSATIONAIL

Hey Everyone :-)
How are you doing today? How is your day going so far? Today's post is going to be a little eBay beauty haul. As I mentioned in my Cherry Culture beauty haul, Simon and I recently had our 6 year anniversary. He surprised me with a little money treat, which I could use on whatever I wanted. I placed an order on Cherry Culture (you can check out my haul post HERE), and I also picked up a few goodies from eBay as well! :-) 

♥ NARS Ita Kabuki Brush. 

I picked up the NARS Ita Kabuki Brush, which I'm super excited about trying out. I have heard so many wonderful things about this brush, and I can't wait to finally test it out. I'm not sure if it's authentic or fake, but the people who bought and left their feedback on it said that it was an authentic brush. It was only AU $15.99 (92NOK), which I think is a good deal. Authentic or not, I know I will get some good use out off it! :-)

 ♥ OPI No Spain No Gain & OPI Lincoln Park At Midnight. 

 ♥ OPI No Spain No Gain & OPI Lincoln Park At Midnight.

 I also picked up two new nail polishes from OPI, No Spain No Gain and Lincoln Park At Midnight. Both shades look beautiful, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. Let me know if you would me to feature one off these shades in an upcoming ''Swatch Of The Week'' post! :-)

♥ Formula X For Sephora Nail Polishes in Thrilling, Bionic & Rocket Fuel. 

I also picked up the Formula X For Sephora nail polishes in Thrilling and Bionic. These nail polishes have been getting a lot off love lately. They have a really good selection off shades and finishes to choose from, I already have my eye on a bunch off shades from their nail polish range. I swatched Thrilling in one off my recent ''Swatch Of The Week'' posts, which you can check out HERE! :-)

The seller also included the shade Rocket Fuel as a little treat, which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. You can check out the seller HERE! :-)

♥ Sleek MakeUP Blush in Pomegranate.

 I picked up two blushes from Sleek MakeUp, which happens to be my very first blushes from this brand. I have heard so many wonderful things about them, so I figured I needed to try them out. I ordered these from Cloud 10 Beauty, along with the Ciate Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar. I'm really looking forward to trying these out, they do look quite beautiful in their little packaging! :-)

♥ Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara & Lash Doubling Mascara. 

After hearing wonderful things about the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, I decided to order one and try it out for myself. I have played around with it a few times already, and so far I really like it. The eBay seller (link to the seller HERE) also included a sample off the Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara, which I thought was a really nice gesture. Looking forward to trying out that one as well!

♥ SensatioNail Color Gel Polishes French Manicure in Sheer Pink & Sugar Plum. 

The last two items that I picked up are the two SensatioNail Color Gel Polishes in Sugar Plum and French Manicure in Sheer Pink (also called Babydoll Pink). I have been wanting to try out their french manicure for a while now, excited to finally give it a go. I think I'm going to try it out for Christmas, haven't worn a french manicure in years! :-)

Have you bought any new beauty products lately? Have you tried out any off the items that I picked up? :-) Love, Christine♥

KIEL BEAUTY HAUL: YSL, LOREAL PARIS, OPI, ESSIE & CATRICE

Hey Everyone :-)
How are you doing today? How is your day going so far? Are you looking forward to the weekend? Simon and I just recently got back from a weekend cruise trip to Kiel (last weekend). We had such a lovely time aboard the ship and in the four hours we got to spend in Kiel on Saturday. I managed to pick up a few beauty goodies a long the way too, which I wanted to share with you guys in a little blog post.

So without further ado, here are the items that I picked up on our Kiel trip! If you want me to review/swatch any off the products down below, please let me know in the comments down below and I would be more than happy to do so :-)

♥ YSL Le Teint Touce Eclat Foundation & L'Oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Foundation.

I knew that I wanted to pick up a new high-end foundation on the trip. After trying out a bunch off foundations, I ended up with the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation. According to the makeup artist who helped me find the right shade, this foundation is supposed to be great for people with dry skin. My skin has been so dry lately due to the really cold weather, so that's the reason why I got this one. One off the makeup artists applied it on me at the store, and I really liked how it looked on my skin. I'm definitely excited to try this out some more :-) 

 ♥ OPI Nail Laquer in Peace & Love & OPI, Liquid Sand in Alcatraz...Rocks & Muir Muir On The Wall. 

♥ OPI Nail Laquer in Peace & Love & OPI, Liquid Sand in Alcatraz...Rocks & Muir Muir On The Wall. 

 ♥ Essie Wicked & Catrice Kitch Me If You Can. 

I have been on a little bit off a nail polish kick lately, and I found some great shades that I wanted to add to my collection. Four off the nail polishes that I picked up are on the darker side, which doesn't surprise me at all, since I have been obsessed with darker shades lately. I picked up a bottle off the OPI Liquid Sand nail polish in Alcatraz...Rocks, which I'm very excited to try out. I also got my hands on my very first Catrice nail polish as well, which is called Kitch Me If You Can. It's a beautiful pink glitter nail polish, can't wait to try it out! :-)

 ♥ Catrice Arts Collection Eye and Face Palette in C02.

♥ Catrice Allround Concealer Palette. 

We went to a big mall in Kiel on Saturday, which is where I spotted the Catrice makeup stand. Catrice is a brand that I have been wanting to try out for a while now, and I was so happy to find it there. I picked up their Limited Edition Arts Collection palette in C02, which has a bunch off really beautiful shades. I also got my hands on the Allround Concealer palette, which I have heard great things about :-)  

Did you enjoy my little beauty haul? Have you tried any products by Catrice before? :-) Love, Christine♥
