AMAZING DAY!!

Sunday, relaxation day! Hehe! Today has been all about me, myself and I :) 

I woke up, had breakfast and a big`ol cup of tea =) I love me some tea.....like....all the time hehe ! ;) Love tea!

Anyways. The weather was AMAZING today so I jumped into my bikini and went out to get a tan....well at least I hoped on a tan. Instead I turned into a freckle face haha, but that`s okay. I always do in the sun so I guess I knew those would pop up in my face :P

After tanning for a while I went for a run, which felt amazing! I hated running before but I am getting better and better at it so it`s starting to be fun =) And when something is fun we do it more hehe :) Summer season hello!!

After the run I felt it was time for some makeup for you guys :) Soooo here we go!

I got a question a while back from a girl who wanted to know how I did my brows. So let`s do this together ;)

We all have different eyebrows. Some have a lot of hair and some don`t. Some do not have eyebrows at all and some have a lot of eyebrows. For the ones who are thinking about shaving away their eyebrows and get them tattoed instead.....DON`T DO IT!!!!!! Tattoed eyebrows can look great, but just don`t shave your real brows away! You wanna keep those!!!!! Hehe!

I am a big fan of brows. It does SO much to your face it`s crazy. So if you don`t like your brows....get help from someone who`s good at it and sit down one day and practice practice practice! ;) Well this post is to help you with it ;)

After I cleaned my face (with Clinique`s 3-step...LOVE IT) I put on some concealer and some foundation. I always start with this and then I do my eyebrows. 

When you do your brows you wanna make sure you know how they should look before you start. It`s always good to know how the shape is suppose to look like and where your brow should start and end. So before you start shaping them with colour, do as I do in the pictures below to check where those spots are (starting spot, "break-spot" and end spot).

And then the brow shadow and voilá, done =)

For eyeshadow I used my new powder shimmer eyeshadow from Napoleon. I bought this in Los Angeles and I am not really sure if you can get this in Norway. But if you someday find it you should try it out =)

I wanted to do something fast today so I used only that eyeshadow and a little bit of a brown shadow from Estée Lauder. Pluss some cake liner from Ben Eye. And of course some mascara. 

Yup and that was that =)

Haha I probably don`t even need to do my eyebrows since I just got bangs, but I`m so used to doing it hehe =)

I hope you liked the post. Feel free to come with suggestions on what to blog about :) 

I`m off of work tomorrow :) YAY! Aaaand on Tuesday because it`s May 1st so I am going to enjoy this A LOT!! :D Jogging again tomorrow ! Have a good one you all !:)

First of all; HAPPY EASTER to all of you! ;) I hope you are enjoying these days off to the fullest with a lot of candy, movies, friends & family etc etc :)

Blogging hasn`t been my first priority lately because I simply haven`t had the time. But now I do ;)

Sooo this Saturday my little sister and I went shopping in Arendal and I sure did some shopping hehe ! :)

I have talked about my "thing" for asseccorize before but I don`t really have a lot of neclesses. So I thought it was time to fix that little problem hehe. Check them out ;) The two first ones are from Glitter and the other two is from Gina Tricot ;) 

Yup yup ;) Pretty happy with my catch ;) 

As you can see I just cut my hair and got bangs :) I have been thinking about this for soooooo long so yesterday I got a "KICK" and just did it. Well my little sister (hair dresser) did. She`s great ;) And swip swop, now I have bangs hehe :) I must say, it`s very different so I`m still getting used to it but I do love it. So much fresher I thikn =) At least I feel that way :) Here is a before and after picture :)

Today I woke up and of course I got a huge easter egg with lots of chocolate in it (my favourite hehe) ! Haha I mean....give me chocolate and I will love you! :P Later on I went on a walk with my girl Kjersti and now I am about to watch Dexter! I just got done with season 1! For all of you who haven`t watched this show; START!!! It is soooo sooo sooo worth watching! But it`s scary though haha. But I love it! 

I also want to share this song with you guys! It is a soundtrack from the movie "Drive"....an amazing movie. This might be one of the most amazing songs I have ever herd! So have a listen and enjoy ;)

Sunday :)

Sunday funday! Like it!

This weekend I have had my girl Maria here from Oslo =) We have been relaxing all weekend which have been amazing! Haven`t seen Maria in a while so it was great to catch up with her :)

Today we have had a small photosession. I was eager to do something fun with makeup soooo this is what I ended up doing ;) Check it out and feel free to let me know what you think ;)!

First a close up of the eyeshadow ;)

I love yellow and purple together and they make each other stick out more so I figured that was a proper colour mix for today ;)

Here is the result ;)

Don`t know why I couldn`t get this picture bigger but at least you see it ;) You can also check it out on facebook. Find me as Makeup Artist May Linn Skage. Or just click HERE! ;)

I am actually getting back to you guys a little later today with some more makeup. I`ll give you an example on some rave makeup/party makeup. So stay tuned ! ;)

 M83 - MIDNIGHT CITY 

- May Linn

A place beyond reality!

Frøya and I are having the time of our life here in California. 

Let me share some pictures with you from the past week!

One of the things we did was to visit Santa Monica and Venice Beach. This is just an amazing place! The athmosphere is so different there from Hollywood. So relaxed and fresh hehe. It`s by the sea so of course it feels more relaxing to come down there. Hollywood is a lot of noise etc all the time so it was good to have a day by the beach =)

It is warm here, but it`s not the best weather for the beach yet. But we still enjoyed it a lot!

hehe =) Good times =)

LAS VEGAS!

On Friday we rented a car and drove to Las Vegas! That was our first time there and I don`t even know what to say about that city. It`s not reality....it`s like walking in a different world. A world of luxury, huge amazing hotels, limoes, thousands of lights etc etc etc! I honestly never expected Las Vegas to be THAT amazing!! No words! Have a look at these pictures and you might get an impression of what I am talking about ;)

So nice!

We also stayed at the hotel called "Caesars Palace". If you have seen the movie Hangover then you know what hotel I am talking about =) This hotel is amazing! Just amazing! So if you ever go to Vegas, I can recommend this hotel!

 This is by the hotel pool =) Beautiful!

Yup! That was an update for now! More to come :) 

We are now back in LA and got several plans during the week so stay tuned :) 

Have a great day you all ;) It`s laaate here so I am going to bed:)

Crazy  Times! :O

Hey you all! Took a couple of days before I got the chance to blog but here we go ;)

We came to Los Angeles Friday night and it has been crazy since then!  We went out that same night to a place called Playhouse. TONS of people.  We had a lot of fun =) After we went to our friend Marques at the Hookah Lounge at Hollywood Blvd and chilled there until it was 4 o`clock in the morning haha. Believe me when I say that it was hard getting up the next day ;P 

Saturday we just walked around and did a little shopping :) You all know how that goes! I bought the cutest leopard shoes (the ones who know me knows I have a thing for leopard haha) :)

Today it is Tuesday and we are going to the Beverly Hills Mall in....badabam....Beverly Hills :P! Love that mall! What you don`t find there you wont find anywhere :P

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip so far ;)!

Ooooo watch out Los Angeles! Haha ;) Ladies on tour! Wonder what we are doing the night we get there.....hmm....we might just go out haha! After all, it will be a Friday ^^

I went to the gym after work today and I gotta say; I do NOT like running BUT I am getting better and better at it haha! My legs are so sore right now, but I guess that`s when you know you did a good job at the gym. Sooo it`s a good thing ;) Going back there tomorrow^^ It`s crazy how much more energy you get from working out. The days at work gets so much easier....at least to me =) 

Anyways, thank you all so much for the nice comments on my last post! I really appreciate your feedback on the stuff I do =)

 Gina Rene - U must be

Good Night you all ;) - May Linn 

Finally had the time to do the stuff I love; Makeup :)

So today has been a very productive day for me hehe =) I woke up, cleaned the whole house, visited my grandparents, went to the gym, then came back home =) I then got this deep need to do some makeup! Some fun makeup! Sooo I got inspired by Beyonce`s new music video for her song "Countdown". I just love her makeup in that video :) Check it out ;)

Beyonce - Countdown 

Love this video. So I wanted to recreate the 60`s inspired makeup she has in this video ;) Here is the result =) I didn`t have the time today to take pictures step by step but at least you can see the result. This is really not that hard. You just need a good liquid eyeliner, yellow eyeshadow and black eyeshadow :) Plus some white eyeliner ;)

What do you think? I just love 60`s makeup =) Fun stuff! Simple and fashionable :)

Well I better get back to this movie I am watching called, "It`s never too late Larry Crowne" with Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks. A very sweet movie which should be seen ;)! 

Enjoy your Sunday =) Tomorrow is a new start on a new week with new experiences ;) Do what you do best :)

May Linn ;)

Yup! I bought it! FINALLY! After a loooong period with a lot of thinking I finally choosed the Samsung. It was that or Iphone and after talking to a lot of people I decided to go for Samsung, which I am very happy about =) I am still waiting for my phone to get here but I can`t wait to start using it :))) Just me & my Samsung <3

Anyways....the days are flying by and it feels great! That means I am getting closer and closer to my new start in Los Angeles =) I am not sure about school etc yet, but I will be. First of all I am going to LA for 3 months and then we will see what happens =) I also want to go to school but this is a lot of money involved so got to save that up first. I am excited though!! This has been my dream for ever and I am finally going to do it!  WOAH!  ;) L.A here I come <3 Some pics from my last trip there:
