New Year - New Blog

Hi everyone!

I've been considering getting my own domain for a while now, and as I decided to make the move, I also decided to switch platform for my blog. I used to work in Wordpress when I had my old blog for crafting projects, and I liked Wordpress more than I've done with Blogger, so why not do it all at once?

In the future you will find me at lifeofannas.com

All blogposts from here are imported to the new place, so you will feel like home there too.

I hope to see you all there!

Lots of love!

Makeup Revolution - Haul

Good evening!

Today was a good day. It was time for the arrival of my first order from Makeup Revolution. I didn't think the order would be shipped until today, so I'm very happy with the fast delivery I got. I made the order with my sister, so even though I had the package in my hand to wait for her arrival to open it. But OH, the goodies we found when we opened it up! It was like Christmas all over again. Of course, I just HAVE to show you what I got. (My sisters things are not included)

Just look at this picture for a while. It still feels like I'm dreaming... Okay, let's move on to the more detailed pictures! 

That little black box, with the big heart, on the top picture, that my friends, was a lovely gift from Makeup Revolution. If you ordered for over £25 it was included for free, along with a liquid blush and three lipglosses. Of course we split the gifts up, and I got the I heart Passion palette and a lipgloss that will be shown further down.

 

After reading so many great reviews I had to try some of the lipsticks. From left to right;
Lipgeek - Totaly NOT boring (I just had to have it because of the name)
Lipgeek - Barbie is Jealous
Lipstick - Cheer
Liphug - She's up all night

 Swatches? Of course, here you go! From left to right, the same as above.

The lipgloss on the top is in colour Move A Little Closer. Just under it you find the Amazing Inner Eye Brighter in Nude. To the bottom left we have the Awesome Metal Foil Finish in Pure Platinum. And in the left corner we have Vivid Blush Lacquer in Desire. 

Last, but definitely not least, I decided to pick up the Ultimate Eyeshadow Collection with shades. There happened to be a price reduction, and I just find this palette perfect for a makeup specialist to be, that needs colours to practice! 

I am more than happy with everything that I got, and just can't wait to get started with the work whit these. 

Have you tried Makeup Revolution yet? Any of these products? Any other favorites to recommend? 

I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hopes and goals for 2015

Hi there,

It's a new year, and even though it's really just a number changing, I like to see it as a fresh start with new possibilities. If you read my blog yesterday you know I didn't get the best end of 2014, and maybe not the best start since I still have to work hard to get back on track again. But, none the less, I have big plans for the year to come. Many of them will affect this blog in one way or another. Sit back and enjoy the teaser of the 2015 journey.

Education - As you may know, I'm starting my studies to become a makeup specialist the 20th of January. I am overly excited about this, and can't wait to start. Not sure where this will lead in my career. Maybe it'll give a start to something brand new, or it will just give me a boost in what I do now, as I get some new input. For the blog, it's easy to figure there might be way more makeup on here during the year.

Home - As I also wrote yesterday, Martin and I have been looking for apartments during the fall, and since it didn't turn out then, we know for sure 2015 is the year we will find our place to live and move in together. Even though this is for us personally, I think it will give a boost to the blog as well since I will get a proper working space in our office, and Martin has promised me to build a makeup studio in the guest room (aka my sisters room, as she comes to visit).

Travel - Our adventures has just started! We love to travel and have a few plans for the new year. New York and Bahamas is on top of the list, but there might be some more places that we don't know about yet. We seem to figure that out over time. Of course you will get to join us through text and pictures on here. Who knows, there might even be a video or two as we're planning to buy a GoPro camera.

Blog - I really enjoy writing this blog, and I love how it makes me interact with lovely people all over the world. For 2015 I wish to make the blog, and the contacts, to grow even more. Maybe expand to YouTube as I learn more about makeup to share tutorials and get great space for it in our future apartment. I also want to put effort into taking better photos. My boyfriend is really supportive and encouraging, and I know he will do everything to keep me going, as he sees how much this gives me.

I want to make 2015 my year. I say that every year, but somehow it feels like 2015 is the year to be. I've found the love of my life. I'm planning to move out. I'll get to see the world as I've always dreamed about. And, what will be of great importance this year, is that I've taken the step to an education to find out what I really want to do. It's time for me to find my way to conquer the world.

Me and Martin before yesterday's party. Really look
forward for a brand new year with you.

I wish you all a very great 2015!
