All Clean

Even though I do not have an education from La Mer or La Prairie. I’m not even a beauty school drop out. But by birth I am given the most annoyingly sensitive skin and system, that gets affected by anything and everything. Food, stress, work conditions, weather. You name it. So I’m very alert to every little detail and change within, on and around me.

This might not make me a beauty expert on paper. But I know damn well if a creme works after you have been on a flight for 11 hours (since I fly all the time) or what scrub is best after 8 days in the jungle on a film location, or what eye relief to splatter on after a really ‘interesting’ and long night out on town.

So here it goes!

I tested these products from Nimue and I have to say that I’m pretty damn pleased with the result so far.

In the beginning my skin freaked out completely with breakouts, and I even had some weird itching going on. I almost dropped the whole thing. However, after a week using the line persistently my skin looks so much better and feels much softer, moist and clean than before.

My favorite product so far (I still have to try some of the masks) is the so called ‘Alpha Lipoic Activator’. Long name. I know. And in combination with the Purifying creme it does the job. I hate sounding like a beauty ad, but hands down; I’m only preaching the remedy I take myself.

You can probably find the products from Nimue online. But I got them at the spa I always visit when in Copenhagen called Dollface.

Actually, I’ve been contemplating doing an international Spa Guide between Copenhagen, NYC, Las Vegas and LA. Stay tuned for that.

‘Till then, here are the products I’ve been testing:
30ml alpha lipoic activator

My favorite product!!! I use it twice a day and especially good around the eyes. You are only supposed to use it 3 times a week. I definitely overused it. But it’s such a treat!!!!

This baby is a bit harsh, but it goes very well with the serum in blue tube above. It’s a creme. Use this one first and then apply the serum from the blue tube on top and you will be fine the rest of the day.

Cleanser and toner. Not rocket science. Not even for me. I like the cleanser a lot. it does the job. Gets rid of all the dirt and makeup in no time. The toner is a bit harsh, but good after a long day out in a big, poluted city like for instance NYC or LA.

Enjoy!!!

Just sharing a couple of shots from the other night where ‘The Board of Blondes’ held an utmost important meeting at restaurant MASH in Copenhagen, where after we took it to Gallery Asbaek and topped it off with a visit to Simon’s.

I daresay that super urgent matters were discussed and resolved that night. Period. But that is what happens when blondes with ambitions get together and share perspective…

Something for the blokes

If we have any male readers? But hopefully it’s something for the girls too. At least I think it’s interesting = I post it! Plus, if nothing else watching all those surreal perfect women motivates me to go to the gym a couple of times extra before Ibiza next week ;)

But Terry hits the spot himself: “…people are gonna be like wow, this is awsome! Or what the hell are they doing?”

New Shots

Just got some new shots I did with master photographer Max DiBiaggio in NYC.  There are many to choose from and I only have them in really low res. But you’ll get the picture of his style from these 3 shots.

Max is a genius with light. Truly! And I always love to work with him.

We did some video in July as well. Can’t wait to show you the result when he is done with the editing.

Also, some of our work will show in an Italian Magazine soon. I will publish it here when I’m granted permission by the publishers in Rome.

Lindsay Lohan x German GQ

Sigh… If only Lindsay could get well then we could see her on a lot more magazine covers! I absolutely love the retro look of the lingerie that she is wearing on the cover and her make-up is really pretty too.

Love the simplicity of this (fake?) tattoo that I stumbled upon somewhere. That really has to hurt though!

Beauty routines: Hair

I thought I’ll show you some my favourite beauty products. So here goes.

HAIR:

For my hair I only use Aveda’s shampoos and conditioners. I especially like the haircare range called Rosemary Mint. The mint has an icing feel on your scalp which is really refreshing.

RED0159f

Before styling and heating I apply this straightening heat-protective balm fra Redken to my hair. It protects my hair from the heat, makes it ultra straight and gives it texture.

bbpowderwhitef

I only wash my hair every second or third day. The days I don’t wash I apply Bumble and Bumbles hair powder to my hair. It dry cleanses the hair and gives it texture.

And a couple of tips for you and your hair via Free Beauty Tips.

The first thing you should do is to comb the tangles out of the hair before you wet it so the hair would wash easily and the tangles would not worsen. And then, wet your hair thoroughly under the shower. You can use either warm or cold water if you like, but for best results, you can wet your hair with warm water to open the scale-like cuticles of the hair and wash all the oil and dirt off. And then, you can rinse your hair with cold water afterwards to close the cuticles and add to the shine of your hair.

More often than not, we need to shampoo our hair for a second time. The purpose of the first shampoo is to clean the oil and dirt off; the second shampoo is supposed to let the shampoo treat our hair. So let the shampoo sit on for around a couple of minutes. Rinse the hair completely after this.
