Bleached Brows

In New York (photo shoot for a Cosmetics label) the Make-Up stylist bleached my brows to open up and create more space in my face. I think it has been the best thing beauty wise in ages!!!

 
At first I was afraid the bleached brows would look awkward when not wearing any make-up but they look totally natural, kind of a Swedish look, note that I do have a very pale skin and highlighted blond hair...


As for applying Make-Up they are perfect as well, giving me more space to play with eye shadows and just a tiny dip of mascara gives already just a notch of a freshly made-up face. The light bleached brows are very easy to color with brow powders and pencils as well.



The brows were bleached on the spot with regular bleach/dye (same as being used for hair) only the Make-Up stylist used a percentage of only 6%!! The developing time was aprox between 5 and 10 minutes. It's easy to do yourself although I might go for the 1st touch up to my hairstylist just to make sure I will use the right bleach.


make up; Cargo st. Tropez (rose pink) and Cargo Mojave (copper) eye shadows, I used the st. Tropez as base and dabbed (with my finger) the Mojave roughly at the outer edges and under the brow.

Look del día!!

Holaaaa!!! Felíz lunes para todas. Hay que empezar la semana con todas las pilas, es una hermosa primavera. 

A ver qué les parece el equipo de hoy.

Inspirada en algunas prendas que me encontré por ahí, se me ocurrió este equipo de estilo 'Hippie Chic' que conmemora en sus colores melancólicos un poco los aires de otoño... 

Musculosa amplia, estampada en tonos azules y naranjas, babucha en denim gastada con elástico en la cintura, ambas prendas de la nueva colección de Lemon. Elegí unas ballerinas de lona con los colores del equipo y un detallecito de moño en el frente de Odette E Odile. 

Sueter tono camel de cashemira de Gucci; bolso azul con detalle de bolsillos externos y hebillas de Polipiel, para Tus Vestidos.

Gafas en acetato beige de Zara, diseño 'ojo de gato'; y pendientes en oro viejo en forma de búho, con piedritas de Amo Muito.

Eso es todo por el día de hoy. Besosss!!

Looking Like..

(...an angry Chipmunk) honestly I don't know what happened with the facial expressions today haha..

This last week was kind of rough, I arrived last Wednesday way later at the airport in Amsterdam because I missed a connecting flight in London only to find out my suitcase did not arrive! After a lot of calls to Brittisch Airways the suitcase was finally delivered to me on Saturday so it was too late to meet up with Nadia from Froufrouu in Paris! Big Bummer... (so Cindy and I decided that Heathrow Airport is now notorious for loosing luggage)

I'm living in the H&M trend jumper and American apparel petticoat skirt at the moment! We were surprised to see the amount of girls wearing this skirt on the streets in New york! It's quite the popular item at the moment.
