Marc Jacobs for Coca Cola Light

As you might know, Coca Cola collaborates with a designer each year for their Coca Cola light bottles and cans. Last year it was Jean Paul Gaultier, and the year before that it was Karl Lagerfeld. This year it's Marc Jacobs. I've never gotten a hold of one before, so mind my surprise when I saw this one casually standing in the fridge at the store. Of course I couldn't leave without it. Most of you probably think I'm going crazy, obsessing over a bottle of Cola, but I just can't help it.
What do you think of this year's collaboration?

MAC 217 Blending Brush

Yesterday I was in Stockholm. The main thing that I was looking for was a nice dress, but unfortunately I didn't find a one that I liked. To comfort myself I went to the MAC counter at NK to get  MAC's 168 Contouring Brush, but they were out of it. They didn't have it at PUB or Åhléns City, either. I don't know if it's been discontinued or something? Whatever. Instead I got the 217 Blending Brush at PUB, which I've also wanted for a long time. And since I had a gift card, I didn't actually have to pay for it. Happy girl (':

Feline

If you follow my Twitter, you've probably seen that my favorite sunglasses broke about a week ago. I'd had them for years, and they were cheap, so it actually wasn't such a big loss. But whatever, I liked them. Since I was in need of a new pair, I bought these. I love that they have a slight cat eye, which I've wanted for two years now. I didn't want a full cat eye, my style is not that bold yet haha. Another great part about these sunglasses is the price. I got them at H&M and the price tag said 79 Swedish Crowns, which is cheap. But when I payed for them I found out they were on sale! So I actually got them for only 39 Swedish Crowns. What a bargain!

By the way, tomorrow I'm going to Stockholm. I haven't been there since March last year, so it'll probably be a lot of fun. There's a couple of thngs that I'm looking for, so hopefully I'll find at least some of them there.

Can you feel the heat on my skin?

Today I've spent the day in the exact same spot as I did yesterday. It was more than 30 degrees in the sun! By the way, if you're wondering about the mess in the background, it's because we're rebuilding. There's dirt everywhere, ugh. I hope you've had just as nice weather today as I've had!

This just in

Today I've been spending most of the day outside in this new bikini from H&M! My face covered in SPF 50, and the rest of the body in SPF 20, of course...

Makeup tips for fuller looking lips

I saw this video, from makeup artist Lisa Eldridge, today and I think this is a very useful makeup tip. My upper lip is a bit thinner than my lower lip, so this is a great way for me to make them look more even. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did (: xx

DEM NAILS

I really love this colour on my nails! It's called "Waikiki Orange", and it's by Mavala. It was in a collection of theirs two years ago, but I googled it and it seems to still be available in some places, like BeautyBay.

Some shopping

About a week ago I went shopping for some of the essentials. The first is my favorite lip balm from Burt's Bees. It keeps my lips soft all year around, even through the cold Swedish winters. The second thing is makeup remover from Lumene. Makeup remover is essential to me, since I usually wear mascara. I think this is a pretty good one. The third and last thing is a BB Cream for the hair, from Lernberger Stafsing. Just like regular BB Creams, it's got several different purposes. It's supposed to make the hair smooth, protect it from heat and UV-damage, etc. What attracted me to this product is the heat protection, since I'm about to run out of my old one from TRESemmé. Also, I've already got their Oil Booster, which I love, so I hope I will love this as well.

I've done a little more shopping this week, and I'm thinking about making a haul video. Would that be interesting?

Vanessa Hudgens inspired nails


A few days ago I saw this post that Vanessa Hudgens had made on her Tumblr, where she showed off her new nails. I thought that it looked really good, so I decided to do something similar this week. It's not very often that I use rhinestones on my nails, so I'm not really used to working with them. It's far from perfect, but I think it turned out pretty good for a first time. Here are the products that I used:

// OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, Kicks // OPI "You Callin' Me a Lyre?", Kicks // Nordic Cap of Sweden "Polish", Unknown // Depend "Rhinestones Crystal", Åhléns // Essie "Good To Go Top Coat", Kicks //

The good things that acne has given me

When you think about acne, you mostly think about negative things. I usually do. But there are actually a few good things about it, as well. First of all, it has made me less judgmental about others. Because I know, from experience, that there simply are some things that you can't control about, for example, the way you look. So why the heck would we judge?

The second positive thing that acne has given me is my huge interest in skincare and makeup. If I didn't have to struggle with my skin, whether it is to cover blemishes, or to get rid of them, I probably wouldn't care as much of what type of products I use. Or how I use them. So I'm actually kind of thankful in that way, since it's a few of my biggest interests.

What I want to say with this post is; don't just focus on the negative parts about acne, or whatever other problem you might have. Because if you think about it, you've probably gotten at least something good from it. Always remember that. xx

AVOCADO

I'd like to share one of my favorite snacks. As you can see, it's avocado + sea salt flakes. It's really good. I never thought about putting salt on my avocado, until I read in some article that Dita Von Teese use eat it, and I thought it sounded super tasty. I really think you should try it out. Especially if you like avocado and, or, is a salt-freak like me.
