Freeee
Well hello. I have been working extremely long days now and haven`t been able too sit down and blog. We have had an inventory of the whole shop and It`s quite a big shop...
But tomorrow I have the day off and if it all goes well Christian and I will head off to Gothenburg over the day for some fun. I have plans on stopping by all the usual second hand shops and Lush! Yay. I am really eager to check out their perfumes and new make up. Have any of you tested the new cruelty free make up from them??
Glossybox September
My glossy box came in the mail today. And this month I was very pleased.
No make up but nice caring products instead. I used the last of my Moroccan hair oil yesterday so this new test from Sunsilk will come in-handy. And I just loved the hand cream with grapefruit and coriander from Cowshed! I use quite a lot handcream this next winter months so this felt very in-handy too. I have no body scrub at the moment so I look forward to test the one I got from Anatomicals. The only product I maybe not to happy about is the face wash because I have a very well working rutine already. I guess I will test it anyways.
The body balm from Figs & Rouge smells super nice, I will have it at home and not in my purse with the design in mind. Seems like the lid can open very easy and I don`t want oily stuff all over my keys and other stuff.
Treasures
Yesterday Christian and I went to our lokal second hand shop. I thought to myself that I really don`t want anything.
But as It turns out I stumbled onto a pair of cute satin heels and a little red heart purse I really liked. This day they had 50% off shoes, clothes and bags so I just could not leave the preatties there. For just 80 sek. (about 11 USD) they where mine and could move in with me.
The pumps had cute round toes and not too high a heel. Classic.
Can`t wait until I can use them!
By the way, they looked like no one had used them. I usually think it can be gross to buy second hand shoes. But not this time. Would you ever or have you ever buought second hand shoes?
Soft Sunday.
I am taking it very easy this Sunday. Have been too much stuff going on the passed days and it`s quite nice to do nothing. Christian and I went out for dinner before he had to work so now I`m just lying here like a dough on the sofa. I was out for a bit erlier and picked up my glossy box for this month.
I got one lipgloss and a lipstick that I think will be used quite a lot, nice neutral shades. And breast tape! Have never tried it before..will it work on bigger breasts I wonder... Would be perfect if it does, then I can buy backless tops and dresses^^
I got a small package of bodylotion that smelled super nice of sea-buckthorn. And a foudation that looks way to dark. What`s up with that? I will try it and see if it works on my light skin.
An ok box this month.
As usual I stopped at the shoe store. (I never seems to able to just walk passed them?!) They had 20% off all shoes!!! I have had my eye on more than one pair so I just gave up and got one of them^^ I did at least buy the flat ones so I can use them all the time...
I love them♥ Velvet shoes should be in every girls shoe collection.
I have been a good girl and made some soup for us to eat later and right now I am going to watch The Addams Family. So cosy.
Hi!
Wow, time flies! I just haven`t had time to blog. But today Christian and I finally had a day off together. So nice!!! I started the day with a super though spinning class and I can feel it now. I`m quite tired but it was so worth it. As a treat we had sushi for lunch and some chocolate for dessert.
Yummmmmm^^
I also went to the shoe-repairer and left my mc boots there. Hopefully he can stretch them out a bit. I haven`t been using them because they where too tight around my calf and it took me to long getting my fot in them...
I want to use them so bad! They will be perfect for fall and winter. I will know next week if it will work.
Christian and I even had the time to go to the lokal second-hand shop. And I actually found something nice today.
A pair of soft leather gloves for only 25 Sek. They don`t have lining so they will not be for winter use.
And a Cthulhu!!! Win! I may give him some new colors.
Later we made some food and just relaxed the rest of the night. Tomorrow it`s back to work again :P
New leggings
I found a shop the other day and orderd a pair of leggings I have been wanting for quite some time. The shop I orderd from is www.the-gothic-shop.co.uk. I really recommend it. The shipping was incredible fast. I orderd my leggings at Tuesday and had them on Friday. Not bad at all when you know it is from UK to Sweden. I even got some love hearts with my oreder, it is yummy candy you can`t get the hold of in sweden. ( I always buy them when I`m back home in Norway.)
The leggings I ordered was these black cute ones with bows. I am sorry to say they didn`t match my expectations. The fabric was see-through and in poor quality. I will have to use them with other black stockings under or a top long enough to cover my ass...At least they are cute and my Christian like them on me^^
Pic from the gothic shop
You can see everything through them... and yhey got burled after one use.
I still will buy from the gothic shop but probably won`t buy anything more from the brand Necessary Evil without seeing the garment in real life. And I left a rewiew of the leggings on the site that hopefully will be up soon.
Autumn shopping.
I love it when the stores start getting all the autumn news in and they throw out the last of the bright summer clothes. Finally It`s my season. Bring on the dark palettes, velvet and cosy stuff.
I feel like shopping all the time and I want to klick home stuff for thousand and thousands.
Tonight I entertained mysef by making this collage of an everyday outfit I would like to wear. I already have the leggings from Actual Pain.
O.P.I. Just spotted the lizard from Amazone , you probably can get it everywhere.
Dsquared spine heel boot? Fake ones at ebay ;)
Do you like the fall/winter clothes like me or are you more of an spring/summer fan?
Big spender...
Finally a day off work. I was thinking about tagging along Christian who was going to Gothenburg. But sleeping in and taking it easy at home felt more tempting. I went out to pic up my Glossy box and fell into shopping mode. Shit. I was not planning on it...
Oh well
My new and actually good looking running shoes ♥ No more blisters!
Workout pants! Super comfy! I tested them today. And a arm-thingy for my iphone. Hopefully it works better than just sticking my phone between my hip and waistband^^ Haha, not cool when it slides down.
H&M has the best and cheapest workout tops. This I also tested today at spinning class. Thumbs up.
My first sport socks! and a rope-belt in velvet on sale.
I also went "crazy" at Kicks. Clinique skin care: anti-blemish, which I love and from now on swear on! I got a little Clinique gift as well, a little make-up bag and some small products to test out. A Depend dip-in remover for nailpolish. Works well! And a new waaay to expensive O.P.I. nail polish. I have been looking at it so many times. Today was the day and I got it in my possession. It is called Lucerne-tainly look marvelous and is from the 2010 Swiss collection. It is grey with micro glitter.Beautiful.
I have had a really good day and will hopefully be able to hold on until weekend. I can`t stand this season sales we have at work. People for some reason think they can behave as bad they like when things are cheaper!? I don`t why do they? Lets finish this post with a picture of my dinner today. Rasberries!!! Yum. I also had a whole box of fresh strawberries. Some of the best things about summer.
Diamonds in the sky
I have finally gotten myself a Iphone 4s! Yay! And of corse clumsy me need to protect it well. So I got this "Diamonds in the sky" hard case from etsy. I just love it so much.
Soon I have to go to work again. But tomorrow I have my day off. Lately I have been lazy and havent worked out. But that will change back to normal tomorrow. I kind of long for some sore muscles!
Burlesque Lounge & Koffin Kake
I found this shop on Etsy and couldn`t let it go. The amazing, beautiful packaging and diffrent scents on the produkts just commanded me to try them out. I decided to try a body butter and a hand lotion.
The description from the shop:
Enjoy a mouthwatering fresh baked pumpkin pie with notes of cinnamon and clove covered with a delicious streusel topping as you luxuriate in the scents of Koffin Kake.

Sound good or what? The scent is lovely. Sweet but kind of dirty at the same time. And it will look nice on my night stand. It is light so if I`m real dry I don`t think its going to work very well. But for everyday use it will be perfect.
_
The Body butter is called Burlesque Lounge and is described like this in the shop:
True to its name…this musky combination of Patchouli, black leather and tobacco with a floral hint of Frankincense, violet and amber is perfectly blended in fresh lemon, mandarin, juicy plum, red apple, cinnamon, blackberry and fresh clove, dipped in vanilla and cherry cordial. Let the intoxicating scents of a 19th century Burlesque Lounge tickle your senses and take you back to another time.

Oh my! Diffrent from any scent I have ever tried. I love cherry and that is what I smell mostly and the tobacco with an hint of the other spices. At first I was sceptical but It grew on me and I even think this would be a great smell on men! Actually the shop had a lot of produkts for men.
Check the etsy shop out here -->Nevermore Body Company <--
Glossy box
I got my Glossy box A couple of days ago. It was in the spirit of spring and blossoming flowers.
I got:
* Glossy box rouge brush. In goathair. Havent tried it yet.
*BM Beauty blusher, It looks way to orange. I think it willl look great as a eyeshadow though. It is mineral and highly pigmented. Approved by PETA and BUAV.
*MSCHIC Lipliner in a red color. Looks nice and really stays on. Tried it on my hand.
*Aquolina Pink Creamy Body Lotion. Smells like cotton candy! Love it! Reminds me of my favorite body lotion I buy on Etsy from Bloodbath. The one from Bloodbath has much more "nice" ingridients though^^ Mostly Aloe Vera.
*Love & Toast Eau de parfum. Smells just like Fanta! It`s ok...a sporty scent. Nothing I would buy.
At first glanse the box are ok. Hopfully the produkts are good.
hehehe
Just another reason why a garden would be super nice. I would so love to have this garden gnome. Perfect for freaking out guests and other people^^ Just imagine him standing under some bushes just grinnig at you.

Happy Monday!
I woke up early as hell today... I think it is the light outside that tells my body it`s morning...Well, at least I had the time to go buy some grocery before work. While shopping I realized I have already spent almost my entire pay check..Hmmm. I probably imagine myself having more money than I do have in the harsh reality.
Another thing! It`s only 5 weeks until my vacation!!!! Oh my! How I long^^
I didn`t show you the last items that I spent my pay check on. Yesterday I didn`t have the time to take a pic of my work-out clothes. I will show you some other time. Right now You will get pics from the shop where I bought them.
My Nike Teese shirt with mesh back and top front. I use it with a bright colored top under.
Another sport bra from H&M in blue and another one in turkoise.
And a new craft 3/4 tights I can`t find a picture of. They kind of look like these but without the really ugly seemes on the belly and bum area!! They where the only ones that didn`t cut into my abnormal large calfs >.< I am not built as the clothing companies think we should be...
Now there is one less excuse to get to the gym ;)
Funday
I had such a lovely thursday yesterday. First my mother in law and I went to the gym. We got there super early and I really love starting the day with the gym. Makes me happy and satisfied with myself.
Later I met up with my super cute readhead Ninni for some sushi, shopping and gossip. The sun was shining and it almost felt like summer♥
My morning coffee on the sunny balcony
Sushiiiiiii ^^ nom nom
More coffee and a pice of carrotcake in the sun
I found two new gym tops at H&M.
This blue one in a super light and soft material. I have it in black too.
And this lime colored one. The pics are from this morning (friday) So I have already tested it out. Very comfortable.
Now I just need a pair of pants and maybe one more sport bra and I can relax a bit more with the washing...
I also bought myself a new seche vite top coat for my nails. How I have missed it! Never again I am going to try another so called fast drying top coat.
Glossybox April 2012
Yay! This month I got a my first Glossybox! Subscription only available for swedish readers, I think. You get a "suprise box" every month with products chosen with consideration on a beauty profile you have created. You pay 139 sek. and get products worth much more. I can imagine that the box not always will be perfect for you but at the same time you get to try great stuff out that you may not would have bought for yourself in fullsize and to full price!
The box felt really luxurious and was nice with pretty packaging.
I like my box^^ I just wished I got the primer instead of the day cream and a cool lip gloss from Illumasqua instead of the pink nailpolish! But You can`t get it all ;)
I got: Maria Nila Kolorite volume powder. Yay! I have been wanting to test a produkt like this forever!
I got a full size, 129 sek in a store. It was nominated as "hairproduct of the year" in hairstyling.
I even got the winning hairproduct of the year in hairstyling
Davines oil, absolute beautifying potion 12ml (340 sek/135ml)
Really curious! But the small amount will barely be enough to the tips of my hair.
Oriflame Beauty Wonder Lash Intense Mascara full size 159 sek.
I tend to like mascaras with brushes of the "old school" type. I will test it out after my shower tomorrow. Can the mascara nominated as "mascara of the year" turn me around?!
Nails INC, nailpolish 4ml (fullsize 10 ml, 159 sek)
Neon pink! Pink is not really my cup of tea. But if it`s gonna be pink I will rather have it neon than baby pink! I think I will be using it with Konad stamping on top.
The nailpolish formula was nice but I think you will need at least 3 layers on long nails.
I almost feel like crying when I see my short stumps that used to be nails...
Loreal Paris Youth Code Luminizer Serum , Full size, 30ml, 229 sek
Nominated as "skincare of the year, less than 275 sek"
I only have a small sample jar of Clinique`s day cream right now so I needed this... But is It good for my skin? Hmm... I really love Clinique and I would have loved the Primer some of the others got in their glossybox. We`ll see.
I also got this cupon from Oriflame but you can only use it in the store in Stockholm... If someone who lives there want it, give me a comment and I will mail it to you. Först till kvarn!
Do some of my readers get glossy boxes? What did you get in yours, and did you like it?
Bikini + Doughnut
This day started without coffee... Really bad!!! Even my brain filled with dopamine after the spinning class could not soften the cravings and the beginning of a migraine. I therefore took measures and slapped on some make-up and went to out to the nearest cafe. I got a coffee to go and while I was drinking it checked out some stores. I did not intend to get anything but when my eyes fell on this bikini at H&M I had to try it on. It was really cool and I just could not leave it there. We all know that when you really need a bikini and go out shopping for one the nice ones is sold out and if there are some left they don`t have your size. The price didn`t hurt either so what the hell;) At least I`m prepared if the sun decides to show up this summer...
Later Christian and I had a yummy sushi lunch and topped it off with a doughnut as dessert. It was good but I really think it looks better than it tastes.
This day just flew by and tomorrow it`s back to work. I already loong for the weekend >.< I think I will start the day at the gym at least. Then I feel I have gotten something good out of the day.
The perfect leggings
And they are sold out........ f#*%<£'***%.~¨# >.<
This ones I would`t mind either...But the same there...sold out...
Black lace & sweat
Holy shit I`m tired! Went to a spinning class fom hell. The intructor had a new program, supposed to be a medium intensity. There are 3 kinds, basic, medium and intense. This was intense +++!!! I was dripping of sweat from after the warm up song to after the streatching! Hmm. I did it and feel pretty good now. But I don`t know if I will take the class anymore. I think it`s supposed to be fun to work out and this was to hard with way to many crappy swedish songs. Like that wasn`t enough...She sang along the crappy songs.
I have forgotten to show you my new top! I orderd it from GoJane a while ago. I could not resist it because of the incredible beautiful lace. I love it so much and long for a opportunity to wear it ♥
Necessary luxury for my fucked up skin......
I had to update my skin produkts again. It is sickening how much money I have spent on my skin the last 6 months but I really can`t afford not to... It seems like the last atibiotics I ate have somehow worked a bit. Not as much acne left on my chins but now it seems like the skin is forcing out the shit which is left and produces massive amounts of blackheads and small spots around my nose and mouth *sigh*
The Cliniqe produkts seems to help at least. And at my local Kicks store they had a bonus gift when you bought two produkts. The night moisturizer was disgusting expensive >.< Ugh.. and I am thinking of buying the day cream later when the crappy one I have now is empty... Double ugh... >.< >.<
The bonus had som nice stuff in it. The day moisturizer I`m thinking of buying A red lipstick that probably is to much at the orange side for my liking. Eye cream, foundation, pocket mirror and some liquid facial soap.
Love
I am just totally in love with this beautiful jewelry by Martha Rotten.
I want them all. Preferably now!
You can get them for me here
