VIDEO | COLLECTIVE HAUL - MAKE UP, CLOTHES AND OTHER STUFF

Yesterday I filmed my first haul video, I was a bit worried that no one would want to see it so I asked on instagram and everyone said YES! So here it is, my first (and definitely not last, 'cause you guys know I like shopping) haul video. It's mostly make up (that I bought myself and some stuff I recently got from PR) along with some clothes and other stuff. I am getting tired of saying this but the video is in Icelandic, sorryyyy (I need to grow some balls and film a video in english for you lovely people). Hope you are having a wonderful monday!

PS. I have a lot of exciting products coming up on the blog these next weeks x

//Ég tók upp mitt fyrsta "haul" myndband í gær! Ég var ekki alveg viss hvort ég ætti að setja það inn og spurði á Instagram og þar sögðu allir JÁ! Þannig hér er það, mitt fyrsta (og klárlega ekki síðasta þar sem ég er shopaholic) haul video. Flestar vörurnar eru förðunarvörur (bæði sem ég hef keypt sjálf ásamt nokkru sem ég hef fengið frítt) en ég sýni líka flíkur og fleira. Ég mun fjalla um einhverjar af vörunum sem ég sýni í myndbandinu hér á blogginu en þið megið endilega láta vita ef þið viljið ítarlega færslu um eitthvað. En endilega horfið og eigið frábæran mánudag x

MAC STUDIO FIX POWDER | REVIEW

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I did, because I went shopping! I went into MAC and spent a lot of money that I shouldn't have spent, but hey, sometimes you need to go a little crazy. One of the things I picked up was the MAC Studio Fix Powder. I've always known that it was a good coverage powder foundation but I've never really been a powder-girl, so I never bought it. But in my crazy shopping spree mood, I decided to finally add it to my collection. I got it in the shade C3.5 and it matches me pretty perfectly. I like to use my ELF Powder brush (which is amazing if you haven't tried it + super affordable) to buff it into the skin and it looks really nice. It has a very nice coverage and it stays on for hours! I feel powders can leave the skin a little flat and boring (I like dewy foundations) so I used my trusty MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle to bring some light back into my face and MAC Harmony blush to contour a tiny bit.

Overall, it's a very nice powder and I recommend picking it up if you are looking for a good, quick and easy foundation.

I WENT SHOPPING

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday! 

After going to the dentist last Monday (and getting the great news that my braces will be coming off real soon!), my boyfriend and I went to the mall to look around and I was pleasantly surprised to find a pair of really nice jeans that fit me well (and the fact that I could squeeze into a size small made me even happier. The gym is finally showing some results!) So here are a few things I've bought the last 2 weeks. 

I already told you that I found a nice pair of jeans. They are a high waisted, dark wash denim and the fit me perfectly! They are from the brand 5 units, I've had one pair of jeans from them before and I absolutely love them! Next off I got a crop top from Motel Rocks, it has a high neckline and the back is sheer with criss cross straps. I also purchased a see through burgundy long sleeve shirt, I really like these with a bandeau and a high waisted skirt or disco pants. Last clothing item was a black and white sheer striped shirt. I'm not sure if I like it or not, I feel like I belong at a circus when I wear this..

Next off is this beautiful belt from ASOS, I ordered it a long time ago and it finally arrived. A lot of people have this and I instantly fell in love when I saw this, it gives a simple outfit an edge, but still looking really classy. In the same ASOS order I also bought a simple sideways cross necklace, you might have seen me wear this in a older blog post and I also got the 3 adjustable plain band rings, I love these! They look so chic. Lastly, I picked up this mascara yesterday. I love the normal telescopic mascara so I decided to try this one out, it's called False Lash Telescopic. 

That's all folks!
