E.L.F Eyes lips face review

Well as I told you before I ordered 48 products from e.l.f, and now I have tested a lot of them.

First and foremost, the three brushes I bought were totally crap. The first thing I did was to wash them, they smelled really bad. When I washed them the water turned red.

Total Face Brush looses a lot of hair all the time, and the "hair" poke my skin, it does not feel nice at all. This gets a 1/10.

The Bronzing Brush is okay, but cannot be compared to the wonderful contour brush from M.A.C. Again, the smell is really bad. This brush will get a 3/10

The Defining Eye Brush is the best out of the three I have tested. It wasn`t red, and didn`t smell all that bad. For my taste the bristles are to long to be a defining brush, but to blend the outer V of the eye it`s good. This one get`s a 4 /10



(Get the picture here )
I have also tested the e.l.f mineral infused face primer for about a week now. This does not work for me at all. I have dry skin, and this makes my face look amazing straight away, but after a couple of hours dry patches start to appear on my skin (primer is made to prep the skin and to make the makeup stay on flawlessly on your skin longer) It contains Silicone, Phenoxyethanol wich is restricted in Japan because of it`s sideeffects and 3 other Parabens. For people with sensitive skin/ problem skin, stay away from this product! Very funny to put in the word Mineral to make it sound better. This product gets 3/10

Other than that I must say that the Duo Eyeshadows get a 7/10. They are not to powdery so they are easy to apply. Always test the product on your hand before applying it on your eyelid, just to check the pigmentation. Some of the colors have a lot of pigments and other look totally different on your eye than in the package. If you prime your eye and apply a good baseshadow the e.l.f eyeshadows will last for a really long time.

My best advise is to buy the crazy colors that you almost never use on e.l.f but always invest in a good base color and the colors you use every day. Most of the e.l.f products contains a lot of mineral Oil wich clog your pores and can lead to acne.

Nora testing beauty products

It`s almost christmas and I have been doing a lot of my christmas shopping online.

I went totaly nuts on e.l.f`s webpage and ordered 48 diffirent products, yikes! And I haven`t tried anything yet, hehe! When I get the package I will test each product and post it in my blog.

I have also ordered hairproducts from Burt`s bees, and will test them as well.

Yesterday I bought this giftbox from Declèor - Secret D`Hydratation.


I have sworn to REN products, but wanted a change, and I have only heard positive things about Decleor. I have always struggeled with dry patches in my face. When I removed my makeup, I applied 3 drops of aromessence Neroli serum (and let it dry for about 5 minutes) then applied the Hydra floral anti-pollution cream. Woke up this morning and my skin felt amazing!
So if you suffer from dry skin I totally recomend this kit!

I give this a 10/10

Anyways if you have any questions about makeup just leave a comment, and I will answer you.

Where are you my perfect new year`s dress?

Iv`e looked everywhere for the perfect new year`s dress.... But I don`t get that wow factor anywhere, well of course I do, but they are way to expensive.

The only one that I fancy at this moment is by Topshop. And the best about that, there`s not a single left in my size. PERFECT or what?

(Picture taken from Topshop, you can view it here)




Have you found that perfect dress?

In March I blogged about the world`s coolest wardrobe- Michael Jackson`s.

Now he` s gone. I really can`t belive it, and I`m in shock!

All we can do now is to keep the memory alive, listening to the thing that was his life- the music.
Rest in peace Michael Jackson!

The sun is my friend.


Haha, isn`t the headline lame?




Today there was a lot of sun, just like yesterday. I started my day on my blacony eating breakfast and reading in my book- Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino. Then my boyfriend and I went out to some friends and chilled out in the sun. And I mangaged to get a pointy stick in my sandal. I didn`t notice it until now that about 2 cm of this stick was stuck between my big toe and my index toe. I had to take a tweezer and drag it out......Gosh that hurt!



This is what I wore:

DIY tee, denim shorts- never denim, studded belt- gina tricot, studded sandals- f.21 and "I love my planet" Tote from f21.
