Barry M Lip Paint - Green

I don't know what it is with me and colours. This is actually a very dirty green on me. I was hoping for a neon colour, but this is more forest green. Still, I love it. Does it suit me? Not really. Will I have any excuse to wear it anywhere? No. But I love it! The texture is smooth, creamy and feels moist on my lips so that is good. It is actually a great lipstick, and my Barry M Lip Paints might just be my favourites out of all the lipsticks I have (after the Gina Tricot ones, they have supernatural hold!). So I would recommend these to everyone who dares to use some extra colour.

I actually ordered a blue one and a lavender one with this, all from Coverbrands, but those two were dried out. I got great service though and they sent me two new lipsticks, but these were just the same as the original two so I sent them all back and got a refund. They where going to check their other lip paints, cause it seems as though they got a bad patch of lipsticks. I will be purchasing the blue one later on though, awesome colour!

Saturdays Appearance

On saturday a friend and I went to a birthday party. I hadn't seen my friend nor the hosts in a long time so it was really good to catch up again. We had so much fun just talking, drinking and dancing! Speaking of dancing, I am going to dance at a wedding this weekend. I am so excited, especially because I haven't danced in years. Hope I don't mess it up!

Anyways, this is what I wore on saturday. I know I've shown you this blazer so many times now, I just love it!

Instaweek 17 @jeanettemarie



What is your instagram?

I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.

Quote: Whitney Houston.
I didn't say it was a nice summer dress! This is just a regular, light weight beach dress and it is so comfy. I either bought this in The Philippines or it was a gift. I have more similar dresses as this one so I don't remember where they're all from, except one from Boracay because it has Boracay written on it. That is a fine place, if you ever go to The Philippines you should go there!

Summer. Salt water. Dresses. Makeup.

A few days ago I did a light summer makeup. I really urge for summer now, even did salt water beach waves hair and took out my summer dresses the same day. And put one on. It felt good. I'll show you the whole look tomorrow! Here I used my normal base, a peach coloured eyeshadow, lip stain and lip gloss from The Body Shop.

I also have a three product makeup look that I used a lot last summer. It is kind of a no makeup-makeup, maybe I'll give you a step by step on that later. It is perfect for the beach!



Do you wear makeup to the beach?

Silvermoon's sparkling, so kiss me (Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss me)

My makeup session yesterday ended in three lip art looks, this is number two!
The second picture here is very edited. I played a little with it in Paint.net and I think it turned out pretty cool.

MakeupMekka Smooth & Creamy Hydrating Lipstick - Lollipop-Pink

There are no words for how much I adore this lipstick colour! It is so gorgously candy pink. The colour is a bit too light for me and looks really unnatural, but it is just so cute! I have no idea if I'll ever find an occasion to use it outside the four walls of my makeup room, but I don't care. Hopefully I'll be corageous enough to wear it this summer, am thinking it will look so good with tan skin. I actually have to other lipsticks in similar colours from Mac and Barry M, but they are not as cute as this one. I think. I haven't used them for some time, hopefully I didn't just buy a dupe! Maybe I'll show you all three in one post later on to compare the colours.

Lollipop-Pink has a texture unlike both Marilyn and Alive, it is right in between the two. Not completely matte and not as oily as Alive. It is very pigmented and has an average hold. With a good base I feel that this one will hold pretty well.





Isn't this colour just super cute?

The way he strokes his index finger against his lower lip (Fifty Shades Of Grey)

As I wrote on my facebook page I have been playing with lipstick today. It is so much fun! I just tried some simple designs now, but am planing to try on different motives later on. This one was one of the hardest I did today as I tried to do straight lines and then not smudge them when putting lip gloss on top. I think it looks pretty cool! For pictures and stuff of course, I wouldn't wear this to work. Playing with this today got me looking forward to doing halloween makeup. I think I'll start early this year!


I used lipstick from The Body Shop, Barry M, Rimmel London and Gina Tricot. The lip gloss is from The Body Shop.

Q&A - Ask me anything

I thought I'd do a Q&A. I haven't had that after I started blogging in english, which worked out pretty well for me I think. So if there is anything you want to know, or if yo just want to ask, please leave a comment on this post.
Ask me anything!



Tips: Right now you can get 3 for 2 on makeup brushes at The Body Shop. I calculated it and now you can buy the whole set of 10 brushes for only 842 NOK instead of 1 079 NOK. You save over 200 NOK that you could use for whatever you want! I would recommend you spent it on The Body Shop BB-Cream though!

I got an email earlier today telling me there is a sale at Bubbleroom from today until 28th of may.
Now you can also get 50% off your purchase with the code MIDSALE when you buy 5 items or more .
I am totally broke so I won't be shopping today, luckily the sale lasts for some time! I'm thinking I could find some summer pieces when I get my salary. It's a great offer for building a new summer wardrobe! I thought I'd show you some of my favourites from the sale.

MakeupMekka Smooth & Creamy Hydrating Lipstick - Alive

This lipstick has a gorgeous orange colour, the kind of colour I have been looking for! It is very smooth, but I feel that this is a bit more oily then Marilyn and that makes it less pigmentet in the sence that it does not apply as evenly on the lips. The hold is okey, so even though the colour is gorgeous this will just be an average lipstick for everydays. Here I swatched it on clean lips, no primer or lip liner. Does anyone know where I can find a nice orange lip liner?

Burgundy Love Now & Then

I haven't showed you my new burgundy love piece that i bought weeks ago. This time I bought burgundy jeans. I have been wanting jeans in this colour for a long time! These seemed perfect, but I am not sure about the fit anymore. The jeans are tight when I put them on, but after only an hour or so they seems to be a lot looser. Not to mention the situation in the front, cameltoe. That's hot. I don't really mind that, it's the fact that they expand so fast that bugs me.





I bought the jeans at Carlings and the brand is called Now and Then.

Curly Girly Gorgeous

Today I actually curled my hair before work and I did my makeup clean, pink and girly. Curly, girly, gorgeous! I really felt gorgeous and even smiled when I got out of the house to see that there was a storm outside. The sun was shining, but the wind was so strong. It totally blew my curls out, but I kept on smiling. I've felt so good and smiled all day long. I love days like this when I am just happy for no reason!



Do you ever have days when you just smile for no reason?

MakeupMekka Smooth & Creamy Hydrating Lipstick - Marilyn

This lipstick is, as the name dictates, smooth and creamy. It has good pigmentation, a matte finish and average hold. I swatched this without primer or lip liner so it might hold for longer with a good base. I love the colour!
