Its been a while since I have used Mint Candy Apple by Essie, so I thought why not do a nail look with it today. I love Essie, they have a great selection off colors and I happen to love the quality off their nail polishes. I decided to use the Konad m60 plate as well to add a little fun to my nails.

Lypsyl: Glossy Minerals

Dont you just love it when you get small beauty samples in your favorite magazines? I bought the newest number off the Norwegian magazine called Det Nye and I got this cute lipgloss as a gift. I love getting samples in magazines, its a great way to try new products :)






I haven't tried any off the Lypsyl lipglosses, this is my first one. This is from their new lipgloss collection that consists off three colors, nude, rose and coral. I got the one that is called nude which has hint off pink to it and small sparkles as well.

These lipglosses has pure and natural minerals that gives your lips a nice color and a natural shine that is supposed to last a long time. They contain shea butter and vitamin E thats going to treat your lips and make them softer. I will be doing a full review on this product as soon as I have tested it out :)

Jewelmint: The Sanskrit Necklace

You guys have probably heard all about Jewelmint from different beauty gurus on youtube.
If you haven't, its basically an online Jewelry store store which offers stunning personalized jewelry for only $29.99 a month. Its a collaboration between Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter. In the beginning, you take a style quiz to let them know your personal style. Then based on your style, they will recommend jewelry that you may like. Unfortunately its only available in the US, but I found some off my favorite pieces on Ebay.

The Sanskrit Necklace♥





I fell in love with the Sanskrit necklace the moment I saw it featured in a youtube video a while ago. I absolutely love the details and the gorgeous pastel colors against the antique gold. Its a really beautiful and unique necklace. I love collecting unique jewelry pieces, especially rings. The Sanskrit necklace got a pretty long chain which you can adjust to make it a little shorter.

I paid $50 for this necklace which is a little expensive if you compare it to the price on
jewemint.com which is only 29.99. I wish that JewelMint was available to everyone but since its only for the US, I have to buy my pieces from Ebay. Im just happy that Im able to get the pieces that I want, and the prices isn't that bad either. I have two other pieces that I want to show you guys as well, so stay tuned for that :)

What do you think about the Sanskrit necklace? :)

Review: Everyday Minerals Face - Soft Bronzer

About the product:
Soft Bronzer is a unique bronzing product as its translucent, which allows you to apply it to your entire face for a healthy glow. It’s also used as a contour product for lighter skin. Its properties catch the light and give you a dewy glow.






My opinion:
I have never been a ''bronzer type off girl'' but I have to say that I really like this one a lot. Since I have light skin I feel like this looks very natural on me, I dont like to overdo it with bronzer, because it can quickly look a bit muddy. This bronzer can be used all over the face for a nice and healthy glow or it can be used for contouring.

As I mentioned in my Everyday Minerals Cheek - Come What May Review, I love the packaging because its simple and cute. I love how the different products has different colors, such a cute detail. When you open up the lid, there is a little plastic sliding cap inside that prevents the product from making a huge mess. Thats definitely a big bonus and it also makes it more easy to travel with too. You dont have to worry about the product getting spilled everywhere into your makeup bag.


Where to buy?
You can buy the Soft Bronzer on everydayminerals.com. This bronzer comes in two sizes, the sample size which is $2.50 and the big size which is $8. Everyday Minerals ships worldwide and they dont test on animals. You can follow Everyday Minerals on Facebook.

Rating: 5/5
