Nails Of The Day: Agent Lavender & Ice Glitter

Hey Sweeties :) 
I have another ''Nails Of The Day'' post to share with you all today. I have been really into glitter nail polishes lately, especially adding some glitter on my ring finger. I just love the extra pop of sparkle and girliness it gives my nails. What do you think?

Today I decided to use Agent Lavender from China Glaze and Ice Glitter from NYX Cosmetics. How cute is this combination? I absolutely love it, I think it looks very pretty. Let me know what you think in the comments down below :)

Agent Lavender haven't been getting as much love from me as it deserves. It truly is a beautiful nail polish, which I need to use more often. How do you feel about China Glaze? Are you a fan of their nail polishes? I'm completely obsessed with China Glaze, they are definitely one of my favorite nail polish brands :)

Outfit Of The Day: Little White Tee

Hey Sweeties :) 
I have another one of my outfits to share with you guys tonight. It has been raining a lot these couple of days, but the sun finally decided to pop up and shine for us today. Simon took a bunch of pictures of different outfits that I put together, I can't wait to share them with you guys :)





What I'm Wearing: 
♥ Top from H&M. 
♥ Pants from eBay. 
♥ Shoes from Jeffrey Campbell. 
♥ Necklace from H&M.

I love this little white tee that I picked up from H&M a while ago. It is a very simple top, but the text on it makes it really cute and fun. I paired it with these royal blue pants that I bought on eBay. I have to say that I'm not a really big fan of these pants, because they are too short. But I thought they went really well with my Jeffrey Campbell shoes and this white top, so I decided to just go with it :)

What do you think about my outfit posts? Are they fun to read? What do you think about today's look? Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Haul Post: Essie, L'Oreal Paris & Rimmel London

Hey Sweeties :)
I'm back with another fun haul post for you guys. I picked up all five products a few days ago, when I was waiting for Simon to get back from his appointment at the chiropractor. I'm really excited about all the products and I can't wait to share them with you :)

 ♥ Blanc, Fiji & Cute as a button. 

Cubus was offering a ''buy two, get one for free'' deal on all nail polishes, so I picked up three shades from Essie. Blanc, Fiji and Cute as a button are shades that have been on my Essie wish list for quite a while now and I'm so happy that I picked them up.

Don't you just love it when stores have these kind of offers? Makeup is quite expensive here in Norway compared to other places, so that is why I prefer online shopping. But when I see good deals like this one here, I just have to take advantage of it.

I think that everyone should have a color like Blanc and Fiji in their collection. They are both gorgeous colors for the summer and they make your nails look so fresh and clean. I have already worn Fiji, which I shared with you in my recent ''Nails Of The Day'' post. If you missed it, you can check it out here :)

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Light Infusing Foundation. 

Right before L'Oreal Paris released this foundation, they sent me a bottle to try out and review on my blog. They sent me one of the darkest shades that they have available, which I obviously can't wear because of my light skin tone. But I did swatch it on my hand, just to see how it felt on my skin and I really liked it. That is why I decided to pick up a brand new bottle.

The color they sent me is called Rose Sand, so if that is your shade and you are interested in giving it a new and loving home, please leave a comment or feel free to email me.  I'm never going to use it and I don't want to just throw it away, because its only been swatched once :)

♥ Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara with/ Avec Grow Lash Complex. 

If you follow me on Twitter, you might know that I have been looking for new mascaras to try out. A few of you lovely people on Twitter recommended the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara. I found it at Lindex, which is the only store (that I know of) here in Norway that sell Rimmel London. I love that Rimmel London is available here, they have some really awesome products that is worth checking out.

I can't wait to try out this mascara, because I love trying out new products. I just cleaned out my mascara drawer, so now I'm in desperate need of new mascaras, ha ha! If you have any more mascara recommendations, please send them my way. It would make me very happy :)

 What foundation are you currently using? What is your favorite nail polish from Essie? Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Nails Of The Day: Essie's Fiji & Elf Cosmetics Twinkle

Hey Sweeties :) 
I have another ''Nails Of The Day'' post to share with all of you tonight. I have been really into glitter nail polish lately. I love wearing them on top of other nail polishes, as well as just on the ring finger for some extra fun and girliness.

Today I'm wearing Fiji from Essie and on top of that I have added Twinkle from Elf Cosmetics. I absolutely love how this look turned out. It is a really fresh nail look which makes your nails look very clean and pretty, perfect for the summer :)

Fiji is one of my newest nail polishes from Essie. I picked it up yesterday, so this is my first time trying it out. This is definitely one of the ''must have'' nail polishes  from Essie in my opinion. Fiji is the perfect nail polish to have, if you are looking for something simple but cute at the same time. It gives your nails that clean and neutral look which is perfect for every occasion.

Which nail polish are you rocking on your nails at the moment? What's your favorite nail polish from Essie? Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Real Techniques Starter Set by Samantha Chapman: Review & Photos

Hey Sweeties :) 
When Blanaid from Cloud 10 Beauty offered to send me the Real Techniques Starter Set, I got beyond excited. I have heard so many wonderful things about the Real Techniques brushes and they didn't disappoint me at all. I have played around with all the brushes and now I'm ready to tell you what I think about them :)

The Starter Set from Real Techniques takes eye definition to high definition. The brushes are designed by Pro Makeup artist and You Tube beauty guru Samantha Chapman, and they are going to help you create a look that is pixel perfect even in harsh light. The ultra plush, synthetic bristles are hand cut and 100% cruelty free. The extended aluminum handles are light and easy to use.

 ♥ Deluxe Crease Brush. 

The Deluxe Crease Brush is a soft and oversized brush, that is perfect for effortless contouring. I have been using this brush to apply eye shadow to my crease area, as well as applying highlighter on my cheekbones. I love the size of this brush. I have heard many say that they don't like this brush, because its too big but I really like it and I think it works great.

♥ Base Shadow Brush. 

The Base Shadow Brush is a brush that applies smooth, flawless foundation of color. I love using this brush to apply eye shadow all over my eyelid. I love how soft it is, it is also perfect for blending out eye shadow as well because it is very fluffy and soft.

 ♥ Accent Brush.

The Accent Brush is designed for precision detailing, spotlighting, highlighting and smudging. This brush is perfect for applying eye shadow on your lower lash line as well as applying dark eye shadow in the crease, it is very small and that let's you have more control with it. 

♥ Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush. 

The Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush has a tapered cut which is perfect for dense or fine eyeliner application. I like using this brush to apply my gel eyeliners and also to apply eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eyes to highlight them and make me look more awake. 

 ♥ Brow Brush. 

The Brow Brush is a brush that distinctive shape and easily defines eyebrows. Filling in my eyebrows is something that I almost never do, because I get them done by a professional. My next appointment isn't until July 17, which means that I have to fill in my eyebrows until then. I did play around with this brush in conjunction with this review and I have to say that I really like it. It is a very soft brush that is easy to work with. 

I definitely need a little more practice when it comes to filling in my eyebrows, because it isn't something that I'm used to doing. But practice makes perfect, right? :)

My Opinion:
I absolutely love the Real Techniques Starter Set. The brushes are extremely soft and easy to work with. They come in a black Panoramic Case which will keep your brushes organized and safe at the same time. The case is really handy and perfect if you are planning on taking your brushes with you on vacation. I highly recommend that you check out the Real Techniques Starter Set, the quality is wonderful and the price isn't that bad either :)

Where to buy?
The Real Techniques Starter Set by Samantha Chapman is available on Cloud 10 Beauty for €24.99. You can find the Starter Set here.
