• Graduation ceremony in the City Hall

    I AM AN OFFICIAL GRADUATE STUDENT NOW!! WOHOOOO!! All the graduate students were gathered at 14.00 for rehearsal and photography. The real graduation ceremony started at 17.00. My feet hurt SO MUCH we walked up and down the stairs and with my high heels it wasn't easy. It ended up that me and Louise sat down on the floor when waiting for the walkout (with our big dresses yes, not very glamorous haha). We all were starving as well!! ...

  • Max factor xperience review and a mini excursion with Miss N!

    So I returned to my favourite mascara brand, Max factor! I randomly bought one at HM because I had a 20% coupon and saw that there was a new Max Factor collection out that is called Xperience. This collection is very new so there are very few people that have reviewed the products but since I have always liked Max Factor's mascaras, I bought one anyway ...

  • (Almost) Everything about Mei aka Mei Mei

    ...Usually when I am awake and gets up to make my bed (I sleep with my door closed btw), I often find Mei sitting quietly outside my door waiting for me to come out (so freaking cute). She yawns, stretches and gives me a good morning meow. She sometimes wait outside the bathroom when I'm inside LOL...

  • Let me present my kind of new kitty cat, Taiga :D

    I got a new kitten in May 2011 and his name is Taiga (his former name was Lion King, but I didn't really like it... so I changed it haha). He is a lynx red pointed Birman, and is supposed to have quite rare markings. Oh well, not that I really cared for that when I chose him. I chose him simply because of his sweet sweet personality....

Hong Kong stuff 2011 part 1

Posted by Colie 0 kommentarer



Yeehh after coming back from Hong Kong för like three weeks I am finally fully charged to blog the interesting things I bought.

I bought Majolica Majorca's new mascara called Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo. It has pretty much the same formula as the former mascara I have from them, The Lash Expander Frame Plus. The main difference is the brush, Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo has a brush and not a comb (which I really didn't like about the Lash Expander Frame Plus). Anyways I
t works great, super water-proof and very light.

Since I really love their mascaras I thought I should try their eyeliner as well, the Perfect Automatic Liner. I am kind of disappointed with this product. It does stay for the whole day but GOD IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO APPLY!! It takes AGES to make it look smooth and even on my eyes T__T I don't understand, I've read many good rev
iews about this product....

I bought a blush brush and a small eyeshadow brush at SASA, T
hey were quite cheap. The blush brush cost like 50kr and it's goat hair. Despite the price, they are really good! But then, these are my first make up brushes ever haha but as a regular make-up user, I am definitely satisfied with them :D

The small can-looking thing next to the eyeshadow brush is the Salmon Dark Circle concealer cream from Skinfood that people have rave
d so much about.

Well I am not that impressed:

The colour: Too light for me (it might suit me better when I am pale like white paper in winter).
Coverage: It's okay, almost as good as the Maybelline mineral concealer that I use. And it doesn't crease BUT it does crease if you appl
y powder on top.

Formula: It's too oily, it feels sticky on my skin.

I rate it 6 out of 10. I won't repurchase it again considering it cost around 120kr :P not cheap in other words!

I went to Colourmix and bought some Liole stuff! This is Liole's Blooming Pop Pinky tint that you can both apply on lips and cheeks. However, I prefer using as a liptint because it's rather difficult to blend it on cheeks. It looks like a bubblegum pink colour on the brush, but it looks more natural pink on the lips. I guess it also depends on your own natural lip colour. I love this product!! :D :D
Okay so here's the famous Liole's Triple the Solution B
B cream. Not too expensive actually (I've read it's pricey but I guess HK sells it cheaper?) 120kr ish - as much as the freaking concealer from Skin Food GAAH!

Anyways, I really like this BB cream even though it's different from my Skin79 BB cream which I love:

Colour: It really suits my skincolour, it is slightly darker than my Triple Functions my Skin79. So it's great for summertime. Especially it has better Spff++ f
unction than Triple Function.

Coverage: It is a bit thicker and has better coverage than the Skin79 BB cream I have, so I need to be careful not using too much product. Nevertheless, it feels light on skin.

Smell: Not a fan of the smell, smells like some old French perfume...

To sum up it's a great product! I'm planning to use the Liole BB cream during summer and sunny days. I can't decide if which one I prefer though, the Skin79 one or Liole. The Liole BB cream is also supposed to help lighten dark spots, I need to use it more frequently and for a longer period and then get back if it really has this function.


I bought some skin-care products from JuJu cosmetics. Their Aloe vera cleanser, toner and lotion. They are really nice! Very moisturizing and gentle. Great for winter time when I'm super duper dry.


I think that's all the make-up and skincare products I bought in HK :)

Let me present my kind of new kitty cat, Taiga :D

Posted by Colie 0 kommentarer

So many things have happened but I have been too busy (ahem too lazy) to post anything here. I don't want Taiga to feel un-loved so here is a post dedicated to him :)

I got a new kitten in May 2011 and his name is Taiga (his former name was Lion King, but I didn't really like it... so I changed it haha). He is a lynx red pointed Birman, and is supposed to have quite rare markings. Oh well, not that I really cared for that when I chose him. I chose him simply because of his sweet sweet personality.

Taiga is like Mei mei, loves to follow me around but he is even more sociable than Mei mei! Even though Mei mei loves people, she only allows me to pick her up and cuddle her in my arms. Taiga loves EVERYONE hahaha. He loves to snuggle up against your face lol.

Isadora Graffiti Nails

Posted by Colie 0 kommentarer

This picture was requested by miss J, so here you go:

I think my middle finger turned out best


I used the light pink one (the left one on the picture) on a layer of regular nail polish. I tried to make a simple nice pattern, but it was sooo difficult because the brush is thicker than a regular nailpolish. It's pretty cool how it cracks into a random pattern, but it's difficult to apply because it dries SUPER fast.

*UPDATE

New colour combination:

Mavala Hong Kong and Isadora Grafitti

A trip to Zoomarknad with miss J

Posted by Colie 0 kommentarer

There were some things I needed to buy to Mei so I asked Miss J to come with me to the Zoomarknad in Bromma. The place was huge with so many fun pet things! We saw some cute animals as well (they were totally chilling out) =^^=



Look at the legs haha!


So fluuuuufffffeeeeeyyy!!

Look I bought a fake BURBERRY collar to Mei! It's difficult to see though, because of her fluffy fur lol. I think it looks pretty on her, but mom has a different opinion on that (oh well it's my cat!).

I bought these colourful balls to her as well, but she TOTALLY ignored it! :'( I didn't understand why at first until I saw her grimase when I shoved it up on her face. She kind of wrinkled her nose with an expression saying "eeewwww it stiiiinks". I smelled it, and yes the balls do have the yucky plastic stench! Sooo disappointed!

Too Faced Enchanted Glamourland Limited Edition

Posted by Colie 0 kommentarer

I got my package from Nelly todaaaay! :D :D :D I bought Too Faced Enchanted Glamourland Limited Edition. It looks like Urban Decay's Book of Shadows, but with a bigger variety of eyeshadows (I think). Urban Decay's book of Shadows consists of mostly glittery or shimmery eye shadows. And I am not a big fan of eyeshadows with too much of glitter.

It's actually my first purchase of a Too Faced product. I have seen their products at Åhléns in Stockholm. But the testers were always so messy and yucky so I never wanted to try anything from them. But I really wanted to buy their Eyeshadow primer (Shadow Insurance) though, because I had heard SOOO many great things about it. However, as a low-maintenance girl when it comes to make-up... I really did not want to pay 240kr for a small eye primer.

Nevertheless, here are some pictures of the product:

I am not going to review this thoroughly, because you can google up sooo many great reviews about this product with loads of swatches. By the way I only found good comments about The Enchanted Glamourland when I googled on it.

A rather childish packaging but still pretty hahaa :)

The only thing I didn't really go "woho!!" over is the blush with golden shimmer. Some people absolutely love shimmery blushes, and some don't - like me. I have never been a big fan of shimmery blushes or lip products. However it looks allright in day light. But when there's yellow-ish light (like indoor) it makes my cheeks sparkle =___= too dramatic for me. The highlighter/bronzer is really pretty though. A little bit too shimmery to be used as bronzer but gorgeous as a highlighter.


I must agree with the many reviewers that this make-up kit is really really great. The eyeshadows are really pigmented and I love the variation of colours and that the palette has 5 matte eye shadows. You will definitely have fun with the colour combinations.

Another great thing about this product is that you get two full sized products as well, the Glamour Gloss lip plumber and The Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I haven't tried the primer yet (I will soon!) but I have tried the lip gloss and I thought it was going to be just another lip gloss that will lay around (and absorb dust). Surprisingly, I really like the lip gloss! Because it doesn't dry out my lips like many other lip glosses and the nude pink colour is pretty on the lips. It also stayed put for many hours without any reapplication. The colour (Pillow Talk) you see on the tube is what you get, meaning the lip gloss is quite pigmented as well.OBS it didn't plumb my lips though, which doesn't matter to me at all.

EDIT: I have tried the shadow insurance now, it's great!

Ps. I will probably not buy any eyeshadows for a veeery long time now hahaha considering how slow I am with using up make-up products XD
