Family Visiting

My parents, my sister & three friends came and to visit me! It was so so good to see them again, and even though it's not long left here it was hard to say goodbye. We went around sightseeing quite a bit since it was my parents and Chelseas first time in LA! We went to Santa Monica, Hollywood, Corona del mar, Beverly Hills, Echo parks, the Americana, the Observatory, even minigolfing, and then of course to all the great coffee places and food places! Basically all tourist stuff as well as my fave places! I got to introduce them to a bunch of my friends and it was quite a few reunions having Sisela, Sophie & Lulu back! And oh it was so great to have them back, it felt just like last year!! Overall just a lovely two weeks having them here!

The whole gang with me! <3

 Dream-team back in LA!!

My parents just being super adorable.

Back on the bus again... Sisela confused by my humour as usual, lol

Photo Shoot

My friend Paola is a very good, creative & talented photographer and asked to take pictures of my roommate Kristy, so Kristy made me tag along, so I figured I should share them here. It was a bit out of my comfortzone but also very fun to be a part of!

BH Cosmetics Palettes Review

For Christmas this year I got some BH Cosmetics make up from my sister Victoria, and it included these two palettes; and to make a long story short I have basically fallen in love with them. So many pretty colours as well as good quality, I looove it! 

A little side note is that I did not edit the pictures of when I try the make up on to show more of how it really looks, however though, my skin tone is ultra pale so it will most probably look quite different on someone else! (and also, no... I do not shave my arms... shaving my legs regurarly is effort enough for me lol) 

This is out of the two definitely the palette I go to the most. There's just so many beautiful natural colours in it!

This is a poorly taken picture and I apologize, but I do really love these colours. I definitely use the first one the most, it's the perfect base to any kind of make up. The second one works quite well as a base too if you're going for a more glittery look. 

Obsessed with every single one of these. I for sure use the first & the third one the most, but I find them all so pretty!

The first one makes for a gorgeous highlighter, and the second one as well if you want it even more defined. I will admit I haven't really used the other two as my skin tone very rarely approve of these kind of warmer tones, but I will probably give it another try in the near future. 

I consider this as a more of a "nighttime" palette even though it has a lot of neutral colours as well. It's honestly a very good mixture of darker as well as lighter shades

The sixth one is for sure the one I've used the most, but I love the third one & the seventh one as well, just can't get enough of them neutrals haha. I do love adding a little bit of pink as well so the second, fourth and fifth comes in hand too!

As you could probably tell in the photos above, the seventh one is for sure the one I use the most of them all. It makes for a very defining colour on me and I love it. I also like the first one and the fifth a lot as well!

The first one is perfect for darker shaded make up looks, & I also like using it close to my eyes, so that it gives the same impressions as an eyeliner. The second one, sixth one and seventh one are perfect for more neutral looks as well. 

Again; colours with warmer tones is unfortunaly not the perfect fit on me, but the fifth one works quite well if I have the time to really shade it. 

What palettes have you been loving lately? 

Spring is here

Living in LA means sunshine almost everyday, and although that of course has its perks, I definitely miss having all four seasons. 

I actually used to get really bad migraine from the sun, but after being here for so long I've gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother me at all anymore, I actually rather think that any degrees lower than 20 Celsius/65 Fahrenheit is frightening, lol. I do miss the rain sometimes though, and I miss the beauty of when one season ends and another one comes up even more. 

However, the spirit of the seasons is still here. The winter was quite cold, although very short. And now in march there are flowers SPRINGing up everywhere! (see what I did there?)  

I absolutely love it. Even though it's way hotter than back home it makes it feel like just a regular spring. 

I snapped a few photos of some flowery beauty when I was out on a walk with one of my staff members precious dog Milan!
