BeautyBlog77 - Benefit make up sale 50% off!!!

Hi my lovelies,

Thought I'd share this wonderful Benefit sale with you!

One of the make up gurus I subscribe to on youtube Lisa aka. channelesque! just opened her online make up store! And to celebrate her opening she is selling original Benefit make up products 40-50% off!

HURRY - only a limited amount of products but 25 different ones to choose from!

Check out Lisa's introductory video 'My Online Store's 1st sale: 50% off my fav Benefit Cosmetics products!' of her new online store, her showing the products on sale and addressing issues about the authenticity of the products here

Check out Lisa's store mybeautyclinic.net here

I got the Hola Bronzer and Dallas Blush









So exited since I save 50%! They are now 14 dollars each!

Benefit is an amazing brand especially known for their box blushes! They are a San Francisco based brand and on Sephora's website Benefit is described like this:

"Laughter is the best cosmetic, so grin & wear it!" —Jean & Jane Ford, co-founders

With quick fixes for your pesky beauty bummers, Benefit will turn your frown upside down! This spirited beauty brand is legendary for its creative beauty solutions and laugh-out-loud names like some kind-a gorgeous, skinny jeans, "that gal" and award-winning cult faves like benetint, dandelion and BADgal lash. Who knew that the tiny San Francisco beauty boutique, opened in 1976 by the Ford twins, would become a brand coveted by celebrities, beauty insiders and gals around the globe? Certainly not them!

My top three wish list Benefit-wise looks like this:

1:



Supermodel in a bottle - Benefit High Beam is an ethereal pink liquid highlighter that creates a radiantly dewy complexion. For an angelic sheen, this pink shimmering lotion adds a soft, natural afterglow!

2:



Benefit You Rebel is an all-in-one tinted moisturizer that gives your complexion coverage, moisture, and SPF protection - highly recommended by a favorite youtube guru of mine Michele1218.

3:



A nap in a stick! Benefit Eye Bright has a pop of pink that brightens your eyes and your spirits instantaneously.

I hope you guys are able to benefit from this Benefit sale;)

BeautyBlog72-Introducing Fashionismycrush

Hi my lovelies,

Here is another one of those: You-just-have-to-watch-this-girl's-YouTube-videos-rave. I thought I'd give you a crash course on my favorite beauty gurus: Fashionismycrush - aka. Jen - make up junkies unite!



I've been following Jen for the last year - all of 2010 and the main reason I love Jen is because of her amazing overviews of brands - called Drugstore Diaries. In those videos she reviews an entire make up brand from lips, eyes to face products.

But she also does amazing haul videos - giving you great ideas of what and what not to spend you hard earned money on.

Here are some of my favorite videos and a way for you to get introduced to Jen and what she does best: share the love of make up;)

Drugstore Diaries:

Drugstore Diaries: NYX Cosmetics Review

Drugstore Diaries: Maybe It's Maybelline

Drugstore Diaries: UK Edition - Barry M Haul

Drugstore Diaries: Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation (aka Dream Creamy)

Hauls: (Danish readers of my blog can also order from CherryCulture.com! They have NYX and Milani products for cheap:) - AllCosmeticWholesale.com also ships internationally!

Sephora Friends & Family Sale Haul 2010

Cherry Culture Haul + A Blooper :)

Random Haul: Sephora & ACW

Finally, Jen has a great guide for you lucky U.S. people or international readers with the opportunity to shop at a CCO - Cosmetic Company Outlet Store that sells Estee Lauder owned make up brands with a huge discount (Clinique, Origins, MAC, Estee Lauder etc.) in the U.S. while on vacation!

All About CCOs & CCO'ing

So I hope you enjoy Jen's videos as much as I do!

BTW: Jen also does fashion Outfit of the Day stuff and has a blog

BeautyBlog62-The best things come in small boxes...

Hi my lovelies,

Here I thought the only thing I had to look forward to was getting back into thesis-mode - but OH NO - how amazing it is to receive a small package in the mail with goodies - paid by me - sent by the most amazing friend Katrine, who is traveling around the U.S. this summer (note: she is just as amazing when she is back in Odense ;))

I had put together a small wish list for her and here are all the goodies I excitedly received today:

1) TRESemmé FreshStart Dry Shampoo Spray. I have heard so many great reviews of this, so I thought I'd give it a try. Never before have I ventured into the dry shampoos but there's a first for everything! I will do an updated blog soon w/ more detailed reviews of a lot of the things I've acquired over the last couple of months!



2) I am so exited to try this Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in 006 Medium Beige or 008 Golden Beige to see if it is as good as all the rave reviews claim! I will probably try to mix it with my ColorStay for a less shiny finish! Very exited about this!



3) I also got a back up of my favorite foundation primer by Laura Mercier - the oil free one that makes my make up last all day without melting off or smudging! Good stuff - I highly recommend this to anyone! (note: depending on you skin type there are different versions of this - my skin is combination/oily!)



4) My new favorite lip product is without a doubt the Korres Lipbutter in Jasmin. They were out of that but I got their LipSaverRoll with three amazing lip butters. This is the first lip balm that I can put on at night and then wake up with soft lips the next morning. My lips tend to dry out a lot during the night so thumbs up! The roll contains Mango (sheer peach), Guava (clear) and Pomegranate (sheer coral). Check out makeupbytiffanyd's review here: Tiffany's November Favorites



5) A new friend (Thanks Christina) recommended I try the BareMinerals (id) foundation. I've been kind of sceptical about trying mineral foundation since I've tried MAC's mineral foundation and others, which did not provide a very good coverage. However, Christina convinced me I would still see the same coverage, so here goes...I decided to get the 5-Piece-Starter-Kit in Medium Beige. It contains the Original SPF 15 Foundation, the Matte SPF 15 Foundation, an Original Mineral Veil, a Warmth All-Over Face Color and a Mini Full Flawless Face Brush. I will try it out over the next few days and let you know what I think in my collective review post!



6) I also got two back-ups of my favorite facial cleanser Cetaphil!



That was it! Thank you to Katrine, who was so nice to run around L.A. picking up things for me;)

So what do you think? Please leave a comment below and tell me about your latest beauty-buys, about what you'd like me to blog about or what kind of beauty products you want to try out!

BeautyBlog58-Summer plans

Hi my lovelies,

This will be a more random blog post about my upcoming summer plans, a bit of a haul and potential Summer shopping!

So I will be going to Rome, Italy and Seoul, South Korea. And I am tons exited about both places!

In Rome I want to hit the Sephora (my favorite make up store) at the big mall by the Roma Termini train station and Via Del Corsa shopping street. I want a new foundation - preferably MUFE Mat Velvet or HD. I've also been eyeing the NARS Sheer Matte. So I will have to go and check out what works best on my skin. Any suggestions?





I'm so exited about visiting Rome, since I've never been to Italy before. I'll be hitting the must-sees and get to work on a nice summer tan!

As soon as I return from Rome, I'll be travelling to Seoul, South Korea for two weeks. I will be travelling around the country a bit - I'm adopted from Korea - and I'll be staying several days in the capital city, Seoul. Other than sightseeing the beautiful sights and country side, I'll definitely do a bit of shopping. Seoul is known for their 24/7 shopping possibilities. I'll be staying in one of the main shopping areas: Myong-dong:) I'll also visit Dongdaemun. It has 26 shopping malls situated over 10 blocks, 30,000 speciality shops, and 50,000 manufacturers so I'm sure I'll find some nice things to bring back home:)

Of things I've been eyeing are the Laneige skin care series. A Korean brand, not sold in Denmark. It's a bit expensive but supposed to be amazing. Check out mungchungtoo's youtube video on the Laneige Renew skin care line.



Check out
I also want to buy some colored contacts. Check out my previous blog post on colored contacts, here.
Last but not least, Seoul has a Forever21 - a favorite store of mine, where I can get loads of stylish clothes at a low price. I'm hoping the Zara at the M-Plaza mall is also cheaper than in Denmark. I am looking for a nice tan colored trench coat, and I've seen a very Burberry like one in Zara.

I bought a couple of beauty related things lately.

I had a friend, thanks Heidi:), bring me home a bottle of my favorite YSL Perfume Parisienne and lip butter from Korres in Jasmin. I love them both!




Hope you're all enjoying your summer!

Please remember to leave me a comment below;)

BeautyBlog57- Introducing Michele1218

Hey lovelies!

Here is another one of those: You-just-have-to-watch-this-girl's-YouTube-videos-rave. I thought I'd give you a crash course on my favorite beauty gurus: Michele1218.



(Sorry about the picture! Hard to find one where she is not putting on make up:)

I've been following Michele for a year and a half and I absolutely love her. I love her style, her make up tutorials, her hauls and her super-cute dogs Jake and Lucy. They often keep her company during her videos. Michele has both a make up channel and a vlog channel. The vlog channel is for xtra updates on her and boyfriend's house-hunting and her cruise-holiday. Fun to follow but I mainly watch her great make up channel. She does a lot of neutral eye looks in easy to follow tutorials and she is just sooooo sweet. I've commented on almost all of her videos and she answered every time!

But the very best way to get to know Michele is by giving you the opportunity to experience her yourself - so check out a sample of her best work:

Tutorials - what I love about her looks are that they are almost all versions of a neutral eye:

Neutral Eye Series: Urban Decay - Bronzy, Fresh and Glowing!

Neutral Eye Series: MAC Pinup Look!

Tutorial: Neutral Eyes with a Twist!

My Most Requested Tutorial! - Very easy and neutral look!

Sultry, Smokey Eyes using MAC Greasepaint Sticks!

MAC Warm & Cozy Tutorial!

Hauls - Michele1218 does some of the best haul-videos w mini reviews:

Las Vegas Haul!

Haul - A little bit of everything!

Collective Haul! Chanel, MAC, Sigma & Sephora

Collective Haul - MAC, Sephora, Ulta, NYX, Chanel

An overview of Benefit Make Up products:

BeautyBlog15 - Introducing 'WhatStyleIsToNickel"

Hi my lovelies,

So when I talked about my favorites here on YouTube I did not include this next internet wonder! I did not do that because I wanted to introduce him separately!



His name is Richie Nickel. He is from the UK and he is not just any regular guy! To me Richie truly is an International Fashionista socialite and style icon from London. Immortalized for Vogue by fashion photographer Mario Testino. Richie has his very own YouTube channel where mere fans like myself can follow his musings, his great hauls (often including MAC make up, LV and other goodies.)

What I love about Richie, besides our common love for MAC and Balenciaga bags, is his darling sweet personality and his great sense of style!





If you want to check out some of Richies videos, then I suggest taking a look at these:

WSITN: Sliver Smoke Tutorial An amazing eye make up tutorial - Typical Nickel!:)
