Erika's World

Hello! I love Åhléns! I went shopping there yesterday and got a huge discount. I am a member of there loyalty club so every now and then I get pretty nice discounts. I buy all of my facial products there because of the discounts that I get. I also collect 1 point for every 1 kr that I spend. Anyway I bought two new facial products that I have never tried before. I have tried other products by those brands so I hope that these will be just as good. I have wanted to try Biorés deep pore charcoal cleanser for a while so now that it was time to buy a new one I decided to try this one. I also bought FORMULA 10.0.6s Seriously Shine Free mattifying oil-free moisturizer because I need a new night cream. I know that it is a day cream but I can't use regular night cream because they're not oil-free. The day cream that I use has SPF and you shouldn't wear SPF during the night as well. That is why I need two day creams. Since it usually takes a couple of weeks to notice ...

Hello! So I just wanted to tell you guys about this great hair mask that I started using. It's like a deep conditioner. You use it the same way as a deep conditioner anyway. It's PHC (Professional Hair Care) Moisture Hair Mask. It has provitamin B5, jojoba and green tea that provides vitality and extra shine, plus it smells really good. How do you use it? You massage it into your washed and rinsed hair and leave it for 3-5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat 1-2 times per week. your writer, Erika

Hello! I am so hungry right now, so I am going to hurry this post so that I can make myself an early dinner. I am just going to have left overs. Left overs are nice to have when you don't feel like cooking but maybe I should learn to cook less. Sometimes it just feels like my fridge is full of left overs. Hahahaha. I thought that I would share my faveroite skincare products with you. What I have learned when it comes to skincare is that when you find something that works STICK WITH IT! I mean why change a good thing that works, right?! That's just cray. Face masks: I use two different kinds of face mask. Sense Beauty blackhead peel off mask and Formula 10.0.6 pores be pure skin-clarifying mud mask. Then I also use Nivea daily essentials refining clear-up strips. Face wash: I use Neutrogena visibly clear spot proofing 2-in-1 face wash-mask. Moisturisers: During the day I use Dermalogica oil free matte spf 30 and during the night I use Neutrogena oil-free moisturiser. ...

I have found a new favorite face mask! Sense beauty blackhead peel-off facial mask with charcoal extract is my new favorite thing. I have heard and seen what charcoal face mask so when I saw this at the store I just had to try it. I really loved it. Yes, just like any other charcoal face mask it hurts a little when you peel it off. The results afterwards are amazing so it's worth the pain. I love peel-off masks because your skin feels renewed afterwards. You feel so refreshed. I have oily skin and peel-off masks removes the excess oil and makes my skin look matte and fresh. It has been out of stock in the store where I found it the first time. So today when it was finally back in stock I just had to buy three packages (each package contains five face mask). Yes I could have just ordered it online before but it costs about 80kr online and that's without shipping. At ÖoB it costs 12kr. So you see, I could have bought six packages for less than the price of one. The cho...

Hello! How are you all? You know what... I am actually really good. That new moisturiser that I bought earlier this week is amazing. It was kind of expensive so I am glad that it's really works. But Dermalogica have a reputation for being really good. So if you are thinking about trying one of their products do so! What you can do if you think that the price is too expensive is that can go to a store that sell their products and ask for a free sample. That way you can try it out and see if it really works for you without actually having to pay a lot of money for it for something that may not work for you. But for the Dermalogica oil free matte spf 30 you don't have to ask for a free sample because you have me. Just in a few days the acne that I had on my forehead has disappeared. The Dermalogica oil free matte spf 30 is a day cream that help to prevent impurities and keeps skin moist and calm all day long. Plus it really keeps your skin looking matte instead of oily. I am so ...

Hello my friends! You know what guys, yes you are my friends and always will be. For that I am actually sorry for not having been here for the past two days. Just life and other things have gotten in the way. But I am here now to tell you all about what I have been up to. I have actually been up to too much these past few days considering that I am hurt my foot. I don't know what I have done, all I know that it has been hurting for almost a week. I wanted to go to the pharmacy today and buy some cooling cream my foot but since it's Midsummer so everything closed early. Good thing that I looked it up online before I actually went there. Okay so what I have been up to except from screwing up my foot? Well the other day I actually went to an event for a new beauty product. Not just any beauty product, this beauty product is for your bikini area. Whaaat?! That was my first reaction as well but I have tried it and it's actually really good. The brand is called The Perfect V....

Hi, how are you all doing? I am good. I am just sitting in bed right now watching some shows. Hahaha, some things never change. I actually bought a new moisturiser yesterday. An oil free moisturiser with spf 15. Now I don't have do be scared of getting skin cancer in my face. Btw, spf is a really good way of being proactive against wrinkles! your writer, Erika

So I have been looking at houses in LA because a girl can dream, right?! The prices though, yikes! Expensive! I mean I would never pay anything like that for an apartment or a house in Stockholm. But then again they aren't as expensive here as they are on the other side of the pond. Today I want to share with you my favorite mosturisers. I have dry skin so a good moisturisers is very very essential to me. I have tried many over the years. Right now I have a couple that works really well. Dove DermaSpa goodness What I love about the this body lotion is that it not only makes your skin feel incredibly soft is that it also smells amazing! I get compliments on it all of the time. And who doesn't love compliments?! Especially when someone tells me that I smell good because that is so unexpected. You can get it pretty much anywhere. Just check your local grocery store and I am sure that they'll have it! Neutrogena Visibly Clear oil-free moistrisers Okay yes I do ...

Hello and good morning everyone! How are you this Monday morning? The US presidential election is tomorrow, exciting! Any of you Europeans that are staying up to see who wins? I don't know I might. It's just that I need my sleep and I have work the next day. Well well. Either way this election is very exciting. So a couple of weeks ago I blogged about the benefits of turmeric (you can read about it here ). One of the things that I mentioned was that turmeric is very good for your skin. How it can increase your skins elasticity and whiten scars. I have tried putting turmeric on my face to see if it really works and IT DOES! I used to have wrinkles under my eyes and they're gone now. Not kidding! My colleague even said the my skin looks more even. I am so happy that it works! This is so amazing. I have nor before and after pictures (which is really bad of me) so you are just going to have to take my word for it. One thing though about turmeric is that it yellow and often us...

Goodmorning my little darlings! How are you today? I am good. You know what I have discovered something that has revolutionized me! I am dead serious here! I mean it. I have discovered nigth cream! Boys and girls, not just boys and girls everyone reading this need to try night cream. Maybe you don't have the skin problems that I do. I have atopic eczema on my face and during the winter it gets worse. For two years now it has been really bad. A few years back when I first got it I used body lotion on my face because it was the only thing to keep my face form being completely dry. Then it stopped and I went back to my regular moisturizer. Two years ago when it started to get really bad I didn't know what to do at first. The skin around my left eye was so dry and red because it was irretated. As soon as I put lotion on it it calmed down. But that is no way to live, waking up looking like you've been sunburned. It doesn't feel nice either because when my face is that dry ...

Hi! So I just thought that I would tell you about a little beauty thing that I recently started doing to my hair. As you have noticed in pictures that I have posted that my hair is very thick. I mean it's an afro. It's just that I never wear my hear like that. I usually braid it or put it up in a bun (happens very rarely). My hair is also very dry, or it used to be until I started doing this magical thing. Since my hair was so dry I need/ wanted something that would make it more soft. I heard about olive oil as hair mask and I have tried it. So thought why not use it in my hair daily and see what happens? First I googled just to see what the internet had to say about it. The internet had mixed opinions so I decided to try it. My conclusion is that, for me and my hair it has absolutely done wonders. It is way more soft and it has become shiny. I recommend you to try it... unless you have blonde hair. The internet said that your hair might become a little green. Idk, but the inte...

Hi guys! How are you? I am good. I had a meeting today and afterwards I treated myself to some shopping. And now or tomorrow (probably tomorrow) I am going to treat myself to some more shopping. I feel like I never go in to the city these days. That I just stay out here in the suburbs. Idk. It's just because I don't work at Grönan anymore and work at a mall where I live. Well well. I would like to live in the city. It's just closer to everything. Anyway, so I thought that I would share some of the beauty products that I use. I really don't use any expensive brands. They're quite normal price, according to me anyway and compared to everything else. I mostly use Neutrogena and FORMULA 10.0.6. Nivea has good face masks if you don't like these brands. My daily cleanser My daily moisturiser My face mask My Nivea pore strips (Biore also has some good pore strips) your writer, Erika

Hi guys! Yeah! So you know what! I have finally found someone who's willing to take my shift on m,y birthday! Yeah! Instead I just have to take her shift this Thursday. I guess that's okay. I mean it is okay if it means I don't have to work on my birthday, plus the good thing about that shift is that not as long as the shift on my birthday. It's only from 4 PM to 8 PM. That bad thing about that is that I will miss The Originals  which airs on Thursdays at 9 PM and I won't make it home before 9. I will miss like half the episode but I can just watch it on the internet instead. I finally have One Direction's Our Moment! Yeah! It arrived in the mail yesterday! I finally have perfume. I haven't had one in a few months. It was so cheap too! I box set with a 50 ml perfume and 150 ml body lotion for only 339 kr! I mean seriously only the perfume at Kicks costs more than that. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! So just a little quick post again. I mean I start work at 1 PM and don't get off until 9 PM so I am doing this now. Plus I have a few things to do before work. Well, I need to go shopping. I need a new face mask and pore strips. Pore strips are amazing. LOL. There is also this peel off face mask that kind of works like a pore strip for your whole face. I have tried it a before. It's kind of fun when you have peel off the whole face mask in one piece. Looks kind of creepy, but it's cool. LOL. I mostly use this active purifying face mask from Nivea. I mostly use Nivea. I use Nivea's pore strips. Those are the only good ones. Well, at least in Sweden anyway. When I lived in the US I used some other brand just because I couldn't find Nivea. I don't remember the name though. I think it was Bioré, not 100% sure. your writer, Erika

Am I he only one that like see a a piece of clothing and just because I want it so much I imagine how much better my life will be if I have it? Is it just me or does any of you do it too? LOL. I do that, sometimes. Not all of the time. Anyway, you know that jacket I posted a picture of last week? You know one from the JC (check it out  here  incase you don't remember). Like I want that jacket so much and IDK but I have this made up scenario in my head about how much better my life will be because of it and how better I will look and how much more confident it will make me. Yep. No way of really knowing if all of that is true until I actually have the jacket. LOL but I am so getting this jacket. Either way, if I have a better life or not because of this jacket I will sure as hell look amazing in it. One weird thing about it though, it's cheeper online including the shipping than it is in store. Okay maybe the jacket I looked at was miss marked but still. I am getting it. Do y...
