I’ve read 66 books since last year and I’ve even have several periods when I didn’t feel like reading at all. So I thought I should share a list with you guys, a list with books that’s gotten 4 and 5 out of 5. I’ve linked them to Amazon so you can read more about them. If you want to read the titles in Swedish, take a look at this post!

Är det bara jag som tycker att det känns lite surt? Eller är det bara jag som har märkt detta?

Tack och lov så finns det ju en chans för oss “vanliga” att vinna på de andra 20-30% av tävlingarna. Vilket är suveränt!

Själv är jag inte med i så många tävlingar så jag klagar ju inte på JAG inte vinner, bara på att ingen annan utanför “innekretsen” vinner… Men ja… bara en tanke…

In the pictures below I have three coats on, but that’s not an issue since it’s one of the most fast drying nail polishes I’ve ever tried (long lasting too!). My pictures are kind of crappy since it’s so dark outside I couldn’t get a good picture.

Here are a few swatches of NYX Lime Sparkle nail polish…

And here we have a few swatches from the pro’s:

From Scrangie.

From Shimmer Kisser.

• Depend Eyebrow Pen – Not sure if I got a “Friday car” but this was a disaster. It was dry and even though I followed the instructions, I didn’t get it to work.
• E.l.f. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen – Dry as the desert!
• Isadora Flashy Curl Mascara – Took a few uses, then it became like a gum, then it became dry.
• Max Factor Masterpiece Glide and Define – First of all, the product I got was grey, the marking for black was very similar. The consistency was watery. Glide – yes, define – no.
• E.l.f.  Blushing Bronzing and Blending Brush – Do not buy this one! A total disappointment! It’s not as nice and smooth as it looks on the product image! The bristles are stiff and scratchy. I have however found another use for it – I clean my keyboard with it! It’s excellent for that purpose!

Some of these probably worked wonders on others, but I would absolutely advise that you don’t buy the E.l.f.  Blushing Bronzing and Blending Brush, it totally sucked. Only buy it if you want to clean your keyboard with it! :P

Anyone else that have experienced/discovered bad/disappointing beauty products lately?

I bought these two acrylic stacking pots from Muji the other week. They are great! I use them for mineral samples, like eyeshadows and foundations. Purrrfect!

And I have to say that I love Muji, tons of brilliant and stylish organizing products and office supplies (they have tons of other stuff too).  Too bad I don’t really have space for much more! ButI regret that I didn’t buy a notebook or two while I was there!

(Swedish: Ni hittar Muji antingen online eller i utvalda Åhlens-butiker. Finns i  Umeå, Uppsala, Göteborg, Malmö, och ett flertal i Stockholm.)
