Hello lovelies! Long time no blog 

(I don't have any excuses, I have simply been extremely lazy and tired)

Last Saturday, one of my best friends celebrated her 20th birthday by inviting the girls over for drinks! I opted for this smokey cranberry look and nude lips (unfortunately I forgot to put on my lipgloss before taking the pictures, but eh what can you do) Hope you like it and try it out!

I've seen this tag going around for a long time and I've always that it was quite clever, so instead of doing a boring FOTD I decided to list down all the products I used and do the tag! This is a very simple look I go for a lot and I wore this last Sunday when I went to a birthday party for my 2 year old godson, Máni. (I don't wear this much make up on an everyday basis, I use around 5 products max everyday, because I'm lazy!) 

I have to buy most of my stuff online because we don't have a lot of make up brands here in Iceland, so plus that £173,85 I've had to pay for shipping and customs on most of the products on that list! and even though I was using a lot of affordable products, the total is super high! (for example I was using Wet N Wild products instead of my Lorac Pro Palette and my usual MAC blushes)

This was very fun to do and if you haven't done it I recommend you do! 

ps. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to include brushes in this, but I decided not to. Other wise that total would have gone through the roof!

MOST USED IN 2012

I really wanted to make a post like this before it was too late, so here it is! It was super hard to pick my favorites, at first I had a list of 26 products, but I narrowed it down to these 10 :) (this is for real the most used products of 2012, I didn't want to include products that I haven't really tested out too much)

1. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I have it in the shade 54 and it matches me perfectly. It leaves a beautiful natural finish on the skin, light to medium coverage but is definitely buildable if you need more. I like it for everyday use because it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, but I do often wear this when I go out since it doesn't have SPF so it doesn't give you that white cast in pictures plus it stays on very nicely. Great affordable foundation and if you haven't tried it, I recommend you do!

2. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

This gives me a nice shimmery glow (not too shimmery though), it gives my face that beautiful highlight everyone loves!

3. MAC Charcoal Brown

Definitely my holy grail eyebrow product! I use this seriously every single day! and I find it suits a lot of different hair colors. It's just perfect. 

4. MAC Peach Blossom

my favorite "my lips but better" color, I usually only use chapstick on an everyday basis, but when I want a bit of colour, this is the one I always use. Lovely soft pinky peach

5. Flora by Gucci

Amazing perfume that I've loved all year long (I had been spraying this on myself every time I went into a store that sold this, then I finally got it in november).

6. Morocan Oil Light

Everyone has heard about this and chances are you've tried it. This is just amazing, I apply it to wet hair and it just makes my hair silky smooth and shiny. 

7. Loreal Telescopic

Oldie but a goodie. This makes my tiny little lashes way longer, doesn't smudge and stays on all day.

8. Lorac Pro Palette

Great color range, great color pay off, great packaging! 

9. MAC Melba blush

This has been my go to blush this year, it's a matte coral-peach and gives me a instant healthy glow look!

10. Sleek Contour Kit in Light

I only use the contouring color, don't really care for the highlighter. But the contouring color is a nice natural contouring shade and not orange at all. Plus it's affordable and I love Sleek's packaging, it's so sleek hehe
