Let's Talk SPF

Something we all should use, but often forget to use, is SPF. Theres probably a lot of people, including myself, that don't think the thought of applying sunscreen every single day regardless of wether you're wearing makeup or not. It's said that SPF is the best anti-aging cream in the world, and the higher the SPF, the more protection your skin gets. You can find SPF in sunscreens made specific for the face, and you can find a wide range of SPF in skincare and makeup products. My tip is to use a sunscreen or your daily skincare and makeup products with SPF in it, so that the skin is protected every day. This could be your everyday moisturizer or foundation.

My favorites when it comes to sunscreen for the face is the Cliniderm Mattifying Sun Face Fluid SPF 50, and The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi-Protection Essence. The sunscreen from Cliniderm is the newest one in my collection, and it's the one that I've been wearing non-stop for the last couple of weeks. Both of these sunscreens fits perfect under makeup and have max protection of SPF 50. The biggest difference between these sunscreens is that the one from Cliniderm has a pump, mattyfies the skin, and has an active ingredient in it to prevent acne. Other than that, they're pretty similar! Both sunscreens comes with 40ML of product, has UVA + UVB protection, and protects the skin against environmental skin aggressors. I totally recommend both of these products, but unfortunately, Cliniderm is a brand that you can only get in Norway. Unless no pump is a deal breaker for you, I would recommend you to try out The Body Shop one! 

My Favorite Spring/Summer Scent

Escada Cherry In The Air 

Spring if finally here! I'm so sick of the cold and snow, and I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather. It's time to bring out all of my spring beauty essentials, and today I want to share with you my favorite scent for spring and summer.

This perfume has been a favorite of mine ever since I first got it in 2013. Escada Cherry In The Air was the limited edition scent for spring/summer that year. It really sucks to have fallen in love with a limited edition scent, as I know when it's used up I probably won't be able to find it ever again. I felt so sad after I'd used up my first bottle, and I kept it on my shelf for display as memory. Luckily three years later I found the perfume at the Duty Free store at the Airport and I absolutely freaked out! The perfume had a re-launch that summer, and I picked up the 100ML bottle without a doubt!

Escada Cherry In The Air is a floraly and fruity perfume with notes of tangy cherries, fluffy marshmallows, musky sandalwood and warm creamy vanilla. It's definitely one of the best scents I've smelled when it comes to perfumes, and it instantly gives me a romantic summer vibe. I think they did an amazing job with the packaging, it fits the scent of the perfume perfect and the details are gorgeous. The bow tie that comes with the perfume can also be used as a ring, which is a special but very cute detail!

I've heard that the Britney Spears Fantasy In Bloom Perfume is a perfect dupe for the Escada Cherry In The Air. I haven't compared the Fantasy In Bloom perfume to Cherry In The Air, but I have smelled it, and it's smells sooo good. I can't say for sure thats it's a dupe as I haven't compared them, but if you're looking for a floraly and fruity perfume with notes of cherries, I would recommend to check out the Fantasy In Bloom perfume by Britney Spears.

Did you get your hands on Cherry In The Air when it first came out?

Christmas Wish List 2017

It's the day before Christmas, and today I want to share with you what's on my wish list for this year

...

Photography is one of my biggest hobbies, and I’ve been wanting to upgrade my camera equipment for almost a year now. I’ve therefore put a camera lens on top of my wish list this year. I’ve been eyeing the Canon EF-M 22mm Pancake Lens ever since I bought my Canon EOS M3 camera. The lens has a aperture of f/2.0, which will add dimension, blur out the background and create sharp, in focus photos.

Becca is a brand that recently came to the Norwegian market, and after trying out the popular Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector and Backlight Priming Filter Primer, I've been eager to try out some more products from them. I'm a huge fan of highlighters and primers, and I've therefore put the Shimmering Skin Perfector in the shade Moonstone and the First Light Priming Filter Primer on my list.

I've gotten more and more into skincare over the last year, and some skincare items that are on my list for this year are the Origins Flower Fushion Sheet Masks, Lancôme Bi-Facial Visage, and the MAC Cosmetics Canded Nectar Lip Scrubtious. I've been falling more and more in love with sheet masks as they are easy to remove and make your skin feel clean, refreshed and nourished. I'm also a huge fan of micellar waters to remove my makeup. I've been very impressed with the micellar waters from Lancôme, and have therefore put the Lancôme Bi-Facil Visage Micellar Water on the list, which I haven't tried yet. 

I’ve also put a few of my all time favorites on my list, as I’m running out and need new ones. The first being my beloved Pure Plush Deep Cleanser from bareMinerals, which does a great job at cleansing without leaving my skin feeling dry. I've put the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation on my list, as it’s one of the best skin-like foundations I’ve ever tried. I've also put a few Sigma brushes on my list, two of them being the Round Kabuki F82, and the Small Eyeliner E10 brush. Sigma is definitely one of my favorite brands when it comes to makeup brushes, as they have amazing quality for a cheap prize.

Lastly I've put the Daniel Wellington Classic Black Sheffield watch, together with the Rose Gold Classic Cuff on the list. I'm all about design, and I instantly fell in love with the watch and the cuff after seing them on Instagram. They are more on the pricey side, but I think it's definitely worth it as the design is gorgeous and of good quality!

What's on your wish list this year?
