HAUL: theBalm and Real Techniques

Today I recieved some goodies I recently purchased online, and I can't wait to try them out. 

// Idag fikk jeg pakker i posten som inneholdt noen godsaker som jeg gleder meg til å prøve ut. 

 

theBlam Shady Lady Vol. 2 palette: I have wanted this palette ever since it came out, but I thought that I could get better products for the same price. Last week I found it online at half off and I just had to have it. 

//Denne har jeg hatt lyst på helt siden den kom ut, men jeg tenkte også at jeg kunne få bedre ting til samme prisen. Forrige uke fant jeg den på nett nedsatt 50%, så da måtte jeg bare slå til. 

Real Techniques makeup brushes: I finally found a Norwegian online store where they sell these, and not at a bad price either, so this was perfect timing since I need new brushes. And I got most of them at special offer prices.

//Endelig fant jeg en norsk nettbutikk som selger disse børstene til en god pris(det var tilbud på noen av dem). Dette passet meg ganske bra siden det var på tide for meg å bytte ut sminkebørstene mine.

I'll do reviews on both the palette and the brushes when I have tried them out.

//det kommer omtale av både paletten og børstene etterhvert.

TREND: "Orange you glad summer is coming?"

DSquared2, DKNY, Rag&Bone, John Galliano and Fendi are just some of the brands that showed off orange lips on the runway for this season.

This is a difficult color to wear and not many people can pull it off. Let's just put it out there. It's bold and it's bright, but you can manage to wear an orange lip as long as you find the right orange for your skintone.

 Orange isn't just orange. Think bright orange, neon orange, red orange, apricot, tangerine, coral, peach, salmon, sheer finish, matte finish, satin finish. There are ways to make this work. 

Some great oranges on the market:

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Coral In Gold (creamy coral)

Estée Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in 26 Nectarine (shimmery orange toned red)

Clinique Chubby Stick in 11 Two Ton Tomato (sheer orange red)

NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick (bright deep orange)

 MAC Lipstick options: 

Tangerine Dream (light creamy orange)

Sushi Kiss (nude peachy orange)

Morange (bright orange)

Neon Orange (classic orange)

Saigon Summer (sheer orange)

Lady Danger (red with an orange tone)
