Hvis jeg er noget, så er jeg en mascara pige. Det har jeg altid været. Som i nok ved er mascara’s også et produkt jeg meget gerne tester og skriver om da jeg synes en god mascara er alpha og omega. Denne mascara har været plastret udover de sociale medier i noget tid nu. Det har irriteret mig sååå meget fordi jeg så gerne har villet have mine fingre i den så jeg kunne teste den. Altid gerne hurtigst muligt tak! Nu er den endelig tilgængelig i Danmark, så here we go! Første indtryk – YES jeg blev så glad da jeg så børsten. Jeg elsker lange børstehoveder, de arbejder bedst sammen med mine lange vipper. Næste stop, formularen – hvilket jo selvfølgelig er det vigtigste element i en god mascara. Jeg mener, man kan have lige så godt et børstehoved som man vil men hvis formularen er dårlig er det stadig en dårlig mascara. You know? Men også her kunne jeg klappe i mine små hænder! Den er silkeblød og glider nemt på vipperne, nærmest som smør. Formularen skaber en god længde på vipperne, ikke for meget men heller ikke for lidt. Den var nem at bygge op og de lange børste hår holdt fint vipperne fra hinanden også efter flere lag. Et styks glad Maria. En anden ting jeg gerne lige vil fremhæve er indpakningen. TAK L’oréal for ikke at lave en neon grøn og hot pink mascara – for det er virkelig nogengange svært at lave fint content med en mascara der ligner at Barbie og The Hulk har lavet et barn. Jeg elsker at den her mascara er lavet i rose gold. Så smuk! Stående bifald herfra!

english: If I am something, I am a mascara girl. Always have been. You probably know that mascara’s are something I especially like to test and write about because a good mascara is alpha and omega. Simply. This mascara has been all over social media for a while. Something that have annoyed me sooo much because it wasn’t available in Denmark until now so finally I got my hands on it. I have been so excited to try it! Very first impression – HAPPY with the brush. I like long bristles, they simply work best with my long lashes. No clumps please! Next comes to formula, which is obviously the most important. I mean, if the formula is bad the brush can’t save much you know? Again, I clapped my little hands. It’s silky smooth and glides on evenly and easy. The formula add’s a good length, not too much but not too little either. It was easily build on the lashes and the long bristles kept the lashes apart. Even after several layers. One happy Maria! Another thing I want to quickly applaud is the packaging. Thank you L’oréal for not making it neon green and hot pink – it’s simply impossible to make beautiful content with a product that looks like The Hulk and Barbie’s love child. I love the rosegold. It’s beautiful. Standing ovation.

Jet lag er noget af det mærkeligste i verden, man vil sove hele tiden og man kan ikke sove. Why is that? At flyve er i forvejen virkelig hårdt for huden, man kan nærmest føle fugten flygte fra sit ansigt. Og så hjælper det ikke rigtig at man så ikke kan finde sin hvile bagefter. Derfor er jeg stor fan af masker! Det er jeg egentlig altid men de reder mig særligt efter en tur i luften. Jeg har samlet mine yndlings plus en forklaring på hvorfor, nedenfor. God fornøjelse.

english: Jet lag is one of the weirdest things in the world, you wan’t to sleep all the time but then you can’t. What’s up with that? To fly is really hard for the skin in the first place. I mean, you can almost feel the moisture just run away from your face. And so, it doesn’t really help when you can’t find your rest afterwards. Therefore, I am a huge fan of masks! Actually I am always a big fan of masks but especially when I have been in the air. I gathered my current favorites plus an explanation to why, below. Enjoy!

Pure clay anti blemish mask
L’oréal masks have always been some of my favorite but their newest release has made the top of my list. Not only do you look like a super hero when you put it on but it also does the job. Calming, curing and refreshing. I love it!

Wild rose mask
The smell of roses always remind me of my grandmother. I adore this mask from Korres, it’s soft and soothing. I love masks that just melt into your skin and this one certainly does. It works best on me when I sleep with it and wash it off in the morning.

Nutritious radiant mask
This two step mask is pure wonder. Follow the instructions and go get great skin! It’s just wonderful.
Mask by Estée Lauder 

Purifying mask
A mask that has been a favorite of mine since 2015. It’s a must have for me. It helps the skin fight pollution, calms it and smooths it. I sleep with it and have even mixed it in with my daily moisturizer for every day wear. It’s genius to apply makeup on top of actually. Try it!
Mask by Kiehl’s

Cucumber tonic mask
This mask is actually not for my skin type. I am dry and sensitive and this mask is more for combined and oily skin. But it stills works wonders for me. It minimizes the pores and the cucumber really cools the skin. An absolutely wonderful product.
