OUTFIT: Small Change, Big Difference

Wearing almost exactly the same outfit as here but with a black dress instead of a white/cream colored shirtdress! What a difference another shape and color can make, no?

It was not the only change! My wisdom tooth had been torturing me for a while but Dentist fears kept me from going until.. and you can guess.. I had 2 nights of no sleep because of the pain! These photos are taken right before I finally made my way to the Dentist and although I somehow managed to smile I was in excruciating pain and felt really horrible haha! 

You have no idea how happy I was to see the Dentist, I think I even told him. I made my way in that chair so fast! Wisdom teeth are tricky and I was afraid I had to go to the hospital but after an X-ray the tooth could be extracted right there and then. It felt like the weight of the world fell of my shoulder! Everyone made fun of me for being so happy and I somehow ended up "glowing" the rest of the day with a numb face! Little did they know that my Dentist is incredibly handsome and cute, I must say that helped too ;)

YSL Beauty for when in Paris for YSL

Not everyday you get flown over to Paris by the YSL beauty team to be in a video shoot and not everyday you get treated like a princess! Last week was above and beyond amazing, I still can't believe it! Everything was just picture perfect, a Parisian dream! I arrived late in the evening at my Hotel but was welcomed by an amazing YSL gift bag! So no need to say I spent next morning's breakfast at the Hotels restaurant exploring the new YSL gems a little better ;) 

The YSL nail polish (nr 10) is amazingly vibrant for a deeper shade of pink! (wearing YSL nail polish in the picture as well) I have been an Touche Eclat fan for a while and was super surprised and exited that it came with the Touche Eclat foundation that I had been dying to try out for a while! The matte lipstick nr. 205 is a beautiful dark color like the YSL nail polish I'm wearing, kind of a dark oxblood color which looks amazing on my light blonde hair! There was a "Forever Youth Liberator" eye serum too of which I have heard really good things! 

The scent of the YSL Manifesto eau de Parfum is beautiful, a romantic, powdery and sensual scent without being too sweet and girly! I have been wearing it everyday now and get so many complements on it! It's the perfect scent for me while I would not have expected that by looking at the bottle! It's my favorite goodie from the gift bag!

OUTFIT: Oh Oh Overknees

Some overknee and pre-summer sock fun because the weather finally let me! I'm still head over heels with this Muubaa leather Jacket, I can't get enough of it and secretly have been eyeing a 2nd dip-dye!

Favorite Natural Beauty Tutorials

I'm obsessed with Natural Beauty looks! Not only is a fresh, radiant and dewy skin like a fresh leaf in spring, it is a perfect base to play up the classics like a winged eye or perfect red lips too! For me a bare look where it looks like no make-up is involved is far more intimidating as well, I always envy Natural Beauty's and their effortlessly nonchalant looks! Luckily for us looking "Natural Stellar" ends up being not so natural at all ;)  

1) Barefaced Chic

A beautiful little tutorial on getting a gorgeous and natural look! The soft blush and sheer gloss on a light moist skin give such an understated glow and freshness to a bare look.

2) Quick Brightening Make Up

Lisa Eldridge her blog and video tutorials are a real gem! A beautiful natural look is all about skin, about a radiant, fresh, glowy and yes bright skin!

3) Blush, Luminizer and Bronzer

A gorgeous video on blush, luminizer and bronzer! To be honest the video is more of an inspiration then an actual help although it does really make you get up and have a go with the blush! Helpful or not, for a beautiful natural look you need that flush of blush.




4) Covering Blemishes

Sometimes foundations and powders just work against you when you want a fresh natural look, Foundations can cake or just take away a natural glow (hormones, happiness, love..you know a real glow), try to work with an concealer only and by working on the problem areas only; dark circles and lines! I'm not lucky enough to step out with only a drip of concealer everyday but the days that I do, it ends up looking far better then a whole cover up! Not brave enough? Just finish up with a sheer foundation instead!

5) Beautiful Brows

Gorgeous brows are often a key (and forgotten) secret to a perfect natural look, I think a natural look is all about a subtle enhancement of the face, features and skin!

6) Brow Guidance

Another great and must see Brow Tutorial!

7) Romantic Waves

A common misconception when it comes to natural looks is that everything has to be natural! You would be surprised how natural these curls would look when they dance gently in the wind! I would even go with a slightly lighter lipgloss and maybe even set the eyes a bit more!

8) Flower Braid

A lighthearted and playful touch adds quickly something youthful to any look! I would just keep the hair with the braid instead of making the actual flower but I do really love the idea!

9) Lace Braid

The hair is much more complicated but "frilly", and this "frilly" and "free" feel is a much understated and forgotten aspect to  a "natural beauty" look!

10) Flat to Full

Add freshness and an uplifted feel to a natural look with beautiful big and dancing hair! I just love this tutorial!

OUTFIT: Whites and Neon

Happy Easter everyone!
I'm still playing with the whole "Sporty Chic" idea, this time combining the pops of neon with white soft floaty and somewhat cozy whites (basically a similar look as this but different because of the sporty touch)  I'm waiting for the H&M conscious exclusive collection to hit stores because I'm drooling over some of the pieces, hopefully I will get lucky since I will be travelling tomorrow, fingers crossed!
