Today we have decided to show you how to do an easy everyday natural look, with few things. This look is perfect for a person with dark and light hair, but also for the person who might not be so confident at applying makeup.

It´s so simple that it only takes 4 steps and 4 makeup products:

1. Apply "Wake me up" concealer from Rimmel all over the lid and also under the eye

2. Take a stiff brush and apply Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze all over the lid.

3. Take a dark brown eyeshadow and blend it from the crease and into the middle of the eye.

4. Lastly apply two layers of mascara - ours if from Clinique.

Fitness apps

I've been searching around for a good fitness app - exercises and tips for a good workout I can have with me at any time. But I haven't really found anyone suitable for my needs.
Then I read on Tumblr that most people recommended the Nike Training app! And it is good, I must say!




It's the Nike+ Training Club and it opens a new world of possibilities towards your training. You can tune in on the exact training you need and want.












You can chose whatever you need, toning, getting stronger, whatever! And there'll be exercises waiting on you.











You then find a workout sounding like something you want - download it and then start! You can push a button saying "set music" and chose an album from your phone which will play during the workout! A woman will tell you what to do and you'll even be able to see the exercises!

















R.I.P. Mickey Rooney

Posted by Unknown at Tuesday, April 08, 2014 0 comments
It came as sad news to learn that the great and diverse actor Mickey Rooney this sunday passed away at age 93.
We did not personally know him, however he was a really funny character in my favorite movie: Breakfast at Tiffany´s. His role in that movie, might have been rather small, but it showed that he was a chameleon in the acting business.

Born september 23, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York  he stood on stage a little more than a year later and took to movies at age six. And even though the majority of people age 93 are enjoying their old ways in a retirement home in Boca, Rooney kept making movies until the end. Having to of his movies in pre-production and one filming right now. If that isn´t amazing we don´t know what.
The younger generation might know him for his thieving ways in Night at the Museum, with another great actor Dick Van Dyke.

His work spanned from acting, director, producing to writing and music. He was a versatile actor, with a great spirit, that could make every person around him smile brighter than the best joke.

We loved him, american loved him, the whole world loved him. Rest in Peace Mickey

Divergent

Posted by Unknown at Monday, April 07, 2014 0 comments
Finally the day arrived (april 2nd) when I got to see the long awaited movie adaptation of Divergent by Veronica Roth. I read the first two books about 2 years ago, and finished the last one Allegiant about 4 months ago, and to be honest I'm still in denial about that book.

If you're not familiar with the story of Divergent, it's set in a post-apocalyptic future in the city of Chicago. The survivors have been divided into five Factions based on their predispositions: Abnegation, for the selfless; Amity, for the peaceful; Candor, for the honest; Dauntless, for the brave; and Erudite, for the Intelligent. Each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them for which faction they are best suited. After receiving the results of their test, they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a new faction.
The main character is sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior, born into an Abnegation family, she doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere. And after her Aptitude test comes out inconclusive, she has to make a difficult choice, that might endanger her life.

I think I'm going to divide his review into the spoiler free part, and the one with spoilers, because it'll be hard for me to talk in depth about my opinion about this movie without giving stuff away.
So first off is the spoiler free part. You'll know when I get spoilery.
First off I just really need to praise the casting, because for me they hit the mark with so many of the characters. Most important one is of course Shailene Woodley, who plays the lead Tris. She was to me perfect for the role. She gives off the shy introvert side of Tris, but can also show the vindictive badass side of Tris without problems. I really loved her in this role, and I think it was good for me not having seen her in anything really. I mean, I've seen a few episodes of her (awful) show The Secret Life of the American Teenager back in the day, and man, has she evolved a lot. Which is good for her, and for fans of the Divergent series.
Next up for praise is Theo James who plays the male lead, Four. Again, I had not seen much of his work before, except for his minor role as Kemal Pamuk in Downton Abbey. But he totally became Four, he was Four and he will go far in this world. He is such a good actor, and it seemed so effortless for him at times, like he wasn't even trying to act.
Next person I have to praise and mention is the fabulous Zoë Kravits. She portrays one of my favourite characters from the book; Christina. In the book she is described as having short black hair with dark brown skin and eyes. And they nailed that. Zoë gave Christina the exact same spunk and spark that makes up most of her character, and loved her from the moment I spotted her on screen. Maybe I'm a bit biased about her, because I both love Zoë and Christina, but she really was great. 

Pacing in the movie felt good to me, some might think it was boring in some slower parts, but to me scenes that takes it slowly and lingers on details on the universe and characters, is one my favourite things. The score was also fantastic, but since it's the work between Hans Zimmer & Junkie XL (who worked together on The Dark Knight Rises), it wasn't really a surprise. They captured the feeling of the book perfectly, and tied the whole thing together.
I can't really say much more about it, because I keep wanting to reference the book and the differences and such, so I think I'll just say;

Go see it if you like action and dystopian worlds and strong female characters.


Warning: Spoilers for book and movie alike if you read along!
[this part will come later, because I need to see it again before saying my final words on this movie]
