Make-up News from Maria Åkerberg
Monday, 22 May 2017
I was beyond excitement when I discovered that ZAO recently launched their eyeshadow palette "Clin d'oeil" no 1. I managed to get my hands on it when I went to the Green Beauty day in Stockholm a few weeks ago.
Jag var i extas när jag upptäckte att ZAO nyligen lanserade deras ögonskugga palett "Clin d'oeil" no.1. Jag lyckades få tag i den när jag var på Green Beauty day några veckor sen.
I love ZAO because of their amazing quality products. Not only are they organic, vegan and have the most beautiful bamboo packaging but the makeup is gorgeous and I haven't been disappointed with anything I tried.
Jag älskar ZAO för deras fantastiska produkter med bra kvalitet. De är inte vara ekologiska, veganska och har så fina bambu förpackningar, men sminket är vackert och jag har aldrig blivit besviken av något jag provat.
This beautiful 100% natural palette contains 10 pearly and matte eye shadows. The colours make it easy to make a range of stunning looks from natural to a dark smokey eye.
Denna vackra 100% naturliga palett innehåller 10 pearly och matta ögonskuggor. Färgerna gör det lätt att göra en rad snygga looks, från naturligt till mörk smokey eye.
I find the colours beautiful and they last well throughout the day. I did the hair and makeup for a wedding the other day and used this palette. The bride loved the colours and looked amazing. I used the colours 5 & 6 (pearly taupe & pearly plum), same as the above picture.
Jag finner färgerna så vackra och de håller jättebra hela dagen. Jag gjorde hår och smink för ett bröllop häromdagen och använde denna palett. Bruden älskade färgerna och jag använde nummer 5 & 6 (pearly taupe & pearly plum), samma som bilden ovan.
I'm so glad I bought this palette and worth every penny of £49.99.
Jag är så glad att jag köpte den här paletten och värd varenda krona av 499 kronor.
Have you tried anything from ZAO?
Har du provat något från ZAO?

In the beginning of the week, I went to Stockholm Beauty week. The theme for this year was sustainable living. Which of course is all up my street. There was more organic beauty brands showcasing than ever, great talks yummy food and amazing goodie bags. Well done to Maria Forssén for all the hard work. I was in and out all three days and met the most amazing people and discovered some exciting brands. I always love this kind of events as I get to know the people behind all the blogs and Instagram accounts that I follow.
I början på veckan var jag på Stockholm beauty week. Temat för i år var hållbar livsstil. Vilket var perfekt för mig. Det var mer ekologiska märken än någonsin, fantastiska tal, god mat och underbara goodiebags. Bra jobbat Maria Forssén. Jag var där under de tre dagarna och träffade underbara människor och upptäckte några spännande märken. Jag älskar sådana här events eftersom jag får lära känna personerna bakom alla bloggar och instagramkonton som jag följer.
On Monday I was a bit late for the press breakfast so I just jumped in to talk to all the brands instead. I was happy to see some of my favourite true and tested brands like Neal's yard remedies, Inika and Maria Åkerberg. It was great to get to chat with them. But let's move on to the brands that were new to me.
På måndagen var jag lite sen för pressfrukosten så istället hoppade jag in i smeten och pratade med alla märken istället. Jag var så glad att se några gamla favoriter som Neal's Yard remedies, Inika och Maria Åkerberg. Det var kul att få prata med dem. Men jag ska istället prata om de som är nya till mig.
Barr
I was drawn to the beauty and simplicity of the packaging. It's a Swedish brand that to me represents nature. I'm really excited to try their snow oil. If you're living in England and are intrigued by this, you're in luck. Their products are stocked in England too. The couple who started Barr is so lovely and I ended up chatting with them a few times throughout the week.
Jag drogs till den enkla skönheten av dessa produkter. Det är ett svenskt märke som för mig representerar naturen. Jag ser framemot att prova deras snow oil. Paret som startade Barr är så trevliga och jag prata med dem flera gånger under veckan.
Bare Origin
A newly started organic and fair trade Swedish brand. Nena loves travelling and using her travels in finding her best ingredients. There were some amazing oils. My favourite was argan oil with rose Otto. Nena is so fun to talk to, originally from Macedonia, now living in Sweden. Nena also held a workshop on how to do your own face cream, which was so interesting.
Bare Origin will be in London during organic beauty and wellbeing week. Please go and check her out.
Ett nyligen startat eko och fair trade svenskt märke. Nena älskar att resa och använder hennes resor för att hitta de bästa ingredienserna. Det var helt underbara oljor. Min favorit var argan oil med rose otto. Det var så kul att prata med Nena, ursprungligen från Makedonien men bor nu i Sverige. Nena höll även i en workshop om hur man gör sin egen ansiktskräm. Vilket var väldigt intressant.
Lip
This brand only existed for a couple of weeks and does organic intimate oils. Something that's definitely been missing on the market. Such beautiful packaging and brand. Definitely worth checking out as it's 100% natural and vegan.
Lip har bara funnits i några veckor och gör intima oljor. Definitivt något som saknats på marknads. En så fin logga och produkter. Värt att kolla upp eftersom den är 100% naturlig och vegansk.
Here I am with Emmi Snicker, Anna Fernmo from Schysstva and Mette Picaut. Love the blogging look with the cameras. Photo credit to Anna.
Mpicaut
This is a luxury Swedish eco brand and I was so happy to meet Mette, who was so lovely and gave me some products I can't wait to try. I did try the goodness glow oil this morning and love it already.
Detta är svenska lyxeco produkter och det var så kul att träffa Mette, som var så snäll och gav mig flera produkter som jag ser framemot att prova. Jag provade goodness glow oil imorse och älskar den redan.
I could go on and on, but I will definitely share some reviews of all the products soon.
Jag skulle kunna fortsätta för alltid, men jag kommer definitivt dela med mig med recensioner snart.
But let's talk about the food and talks. I was a bit too lazy and didn't really make it to the breakfasts. But every day there was some amazing lunches with healthy veggie food.
Men låt oss prata om mat alla tal. Jag var lite för lat och missade frukostarna. Men varje dag var det fantastiska luncher med hälsosam vegetarisk mat.
There were talks about sustainable living and lunch was held by Weleda and Eco tools. Each time I got the most amazing goodie bags and I can't get over all the good food.
Det var tal om hållbar livsstil och luncherna hölls av Weleda och Ecotools. Varje gång fick vi de mest fantastiska goodiebags. Jag kan inte sluta tänka på all den goda maten.
To finish off the whole beauty week there was a fashion show by Björn Axén. The biggest hair brand of Sweden. I had the privilege to listen to the CEO Johan Hellström earlier in a day, what an inspiring person.
The show was a perfect end to such a great event. The dresses were from Jennifer Blom.
För att avsluta hela beauty week var det en modeshow av Björn Axén. Jag hade privilegiet att lyssna på VDn Johan Hellström tidigare under dagen. Vilken inspirerande person.
Modeshowen var perfekt slut på en underbart event. Klänningarna var från Jennifer Blom.
Is there any of the brands or products I've mentioned, that you want to hear more about?
Är det några av dessa märken eller produkter som jag nämnt som du vill höra mer om?

Det kan ibland vara svårt att hitta bra naturligt och ekologiskt smink. Eftersom det är organic beauty week tänkte jag dela med mig av mina favorit smink märken.
Packed in gorgeous bamboo makes me like Zao's makeup even more. Their lipsticks are my favourite but I'm a huge fan of their mascara too. They're great at labeling their products on their website so perfect for people with allergies or vegans. What I also like is that most of their stuff you can buy as refill so even less waste.
Den snygga Bambuförpackningen gör att gillar Zao så mycket mer. Deras läppstift är mina favoriter, men stort fan av deras mascara också. De är fantastiskt bra att märka ut sina varor så perfekt för personer med allergier eller veganer. Vad jag också gillar är att man kan köpa refill så det blir ännu mindre avfall.
A French brand that wants to make organic cosmetics affordable but still with good quality. I recently started using these and I'm very impressed so far. You can watch my video on my first impressions here. If you're on a budget you must check out Avril. My favourites are the blushers.
Ett franskt märke som vill göra ekologisk kosmetiska prisvärt men med fortfarande bra kvalitet. Jag har nyligen börjat använda Avril och jag är imponerad än så länge. Du kan se min video på mina första intryck här. Om du har en låg budget så måste du kolla upp Avril. Min favorit är blusher.
A luxury brand from New Zealand. It's some of the best quality makeup I've ever used. I'm sold on their bronzer http://www.sarasteele.co.uk/2015/11/review-living-nature-summer-bronze.html?m=1 and I use something from Living Nature every day. They recently launched two new lipsticks colours that are gorgeous. Check out my video using my Living Nature products here.
Ett lyxmärke från Nya Zealand. Det är det bästa kvalitet sminket jag någonsin provat. Jag är såld på deras bronzer och jag använder något från Living Nature varje dag. De lanserade nyligen två nya röda läppstift som är så snygga. Kolla in min video där jag använder Living Nature här.
Beautiful makeup and they do amazing eyeshadow palettes.
Most of my makeup brushes are from Lily Lolo. I'm actually due to make an order from them and on the list is their mascara that I've heard so much good things about. I can't wait.
Snyggt smink och de gör fantastiska ögonskugga paletter de flesta av mina smink borstar är från Lily Lolo. Jag ska snart beställa från dem igen och på önskelistan finns deras mascara som jag hört så mycket bra om. Kan knappt bärga mig.
A Swedish brand for all you swedes. I used a lot of their makeup and I think their foundations are perfect for Scandinavian skin tones. Their lipsticks are gorgeous too. Maria Åkerberg is affordable and has a wide range of products. Worth checking out if ever in Sweden.
Ett svenskt märke för er svenskar. Jag har använt mycket av deras smink och jag tycker deras foundations är perfekta för skandinaviska hudtoner. Deras läppstift är också fantastiska. Maria Åkerberg är prisvärt och de har så stort sortiment.

It's not a secret that I like Living Nature's makeup. I find its high quality and I love the finished result. You might remember my summer bronze pressed powder, which I wrote a review on here. All their products are 100% natural and all the products I talk about are vegan.
Det är ingen hemlighet att jag gillar Living Nature's smink. Jag tycker det är av hög kvalitet och älskar slut resultatet. Du kanske kommer ihåg min summer bronze pressed powder som jag skrev en recension på här.
Alla deras produkter är 100% naturliga och alla produkter jag pratar om är veganska.
My recent favourite is all their eye makeup. I recently kindly received four eyeshadows, mascara and an eyeliner pencil from Living Nature. They do not disappoint. It's such a good quality. I did a makeup look over on my YouTube channel. http://youtu.be/GaAX3Xxv8x8
Min senaste favorit är deras ögon smink. Nyligenfick jag så snällt fyra ögonskuggor, mascara och en kajal penna från Living Nature. De sviker inte. Det är så bra kvalitet. Jag gjorde en smink look på min youtube kanal. http://youtu.be/GaAX3Xxv8x8
The eye pencil is soft and is easy to apply. I'm a huge fan of the mascara in colour jet black. It's thickening and makes the lashes looking fuller.
The eyeshadows are gorgeous and are long lasting. My favourite shade is shell (top left) which is a lovely subtle pink colour. The other colours I got was sand (top right) pebble (bottom right) and glacier (bottom left).
I have a DISCOUNT CODE for you! 20% off on any Living Nature products on their website www.livingnature.com
Just quote STEELE20 at the checkout. Available until 30th April.
Please comment below and let me know what you got
Kajalpennan
är mjuk och är lätt att applicera. Jag är ett stort fan av mascaran i
färgen jet black. De gör ögonfransarna tjockare.
Ögonskuggorna
är så fina och håller länge. Min favorit är Shell (topp vänster) som är
en underbar svag rosa färg. De andra färgerna jag fick var sand (topp
höger) pebble (botten höger) och glaciär (botten vänster).
Jag har en RABATTKOD till dig! 20% av alla produkter på Living Natures hemsida.
