In English: When not checking the mail for a couple of weeks the inbox shows some tendencies to overflow with press releases... one I find extra interesting though are these winter shades from the organic brand Nvey Eco. (I've finally found out that Nvey should be pronounced as "envy"). Look at that lipstick! I love the texture of Nvey's lipsticks!
Tillbaka från Kanada
(Nedan - vi från MAC Nordic i den första MAC-butiken i VÄRLDEN!)

In English: The MAC trip to Toronto was amazing! It's really so much to tell that I get quite overwhelmed thinking about it, so right now I'll just get on with the everyday blog life and give you a couple of Canada yummies every now and then.

Nytt från Stem Organics: Perfect Complexion Masque

In English: Considering that I haven't been disappointed in any product I've tried from Stem Organics, I must say I am slightly curious about their new Perfect Complexion Masque, a clay mask with vitamin C. US$ 45 at stemorganics.com...
Jasmin, ja tack
Pure Olive & Jasmine tvål från spamärket Tadé, finns för 31 kronor på Satine eller för 65 kronor på Badtvåls hemsida.

In English: Finally, a soap with jasmine which isn't overwhelmingly headache provoking. I adore jasmine but most of the time I find it too overpowering in soaps. Until now!
Pure Olive & Jasmine tvål from spa brand Tadé is the name.
Miss Canada
Jag har alltid velat åka till Kanada och det här är något jag verkligen jobbat hårt för under tävlingen som pågått i tre månader. (När mitt foto kom upp bland vinnarna såg jag exakt ut som tjejerna som vinner Miss Universum (och det är inte något jag brukar vanligtvis). Skrik och gråt och skratt och Oh my God, allt på en gång.)
TACK MAC!

(This is the bodypainting sketch I made for the competition - it has Pamela Anderson's lips saying the MAC motto "All Ages, All Sexes, All Races" on the chest, a glossy MAC Black background, with Canadian maple leafs in a flow over the body. If you wonder why Pamela, she's from Canada and she's been a spokesperson for Viva Glam.)
In English: This Saturday, I'm going to Toronto, Canada with my job! I've won a trip with MAC Cosmetics to Toronto, the birthplace of MAC! I'm going to meet MAC artists from all around the world, attend a master class with Gordon Espinet - The Makeup Artist of MAC -, experience Toronto, HAVE THE TIME OF MY LIFE! It's simply incredibly amazing.
I've always wanted to go to Canada and this is something I've worked so hard for during these three months of competition. (When I saw the picture of me along the winners, I looked exactly like the girls who win Miss Universe (and that is quite far from the everyday me). Screaming and crying and laughing and Oh My God-ing all at once.)
THANK YOU MAC!
(So... what should I shop for in Toronto? I adore shoes, bags, second hand, stuff you can't find in the "usual" shops. Tell me all you know!)
Rocketqueen recenserar: Stem Organics Rejuvenating Face Oil
Oljan kostar 295 kr, men så får man också 50 ml och det räcker Länge. När (om...) den tagit slut till nästa vinter kommer jag att fylla på mitt förråd. Jag gillar verkligen Stem Organics värderingar så jag köper extra gärna produkter från dem. Därmed inte sagt att jag kompromissar med kvaliteten. Alls.
Stem Organics Rejuvenating Face Oil finns på Indulge.se, just nu med 10% rabatt om du köper i oktober månad!
Tips! Har du torr och flagig hy som ändå lätt blir blank framåt eftermiddagen? Tilltäppta porer också? Det kan bero på att du torkar ut din hy för mycket med starka rengöringar eller krämer som inte ger nog med fett och fukt till huden. Din hy reagerar då med att chockproducera olja, medan torrflagor ligger överst på huden och hindrar oljan från att komma ut. Ett oljeserum som detta kan göra att din hy kommer i bättre balans. (Och nej, den gör inte huden mer fet! Oljor är inte bara för supertorra hudtyper.)

In English: Winter season means that a good amazing face oil to use under my regular face cream is a must to counteract flaky, dry skin. This fall I've tried the ecological Stem Organics Rejuvenating Face Oil, which is a mix of 14 luxuous oils. My skin practically drinks this oil; it sinks in so fast without leaving any sticky feeling behind and my skin gets so plush and soft. Two or three drops is enough for my entire face and then I won't have to use as much cream on top of it. I also really like the mild, comforting scent.
For $45 you get 50 ml/1.7 fl oz which will last you for a seriously long time. When (if...) I don't have anything left of this oil for next winter season, I will definitely get a new one. I also really embrace the Stem Organics values so I'm extra keen on buying their products. With that being said, I never compromise with quality though. Ever.
Get it at Indulge.se (for Sweden) or Stemorganics.com (internationally).
Quick tip! Do you suffer from flaky, dry skin which also tends to get shiny and oily during the day? Clogged pores, too? You might be drying your skin too much which causes your skin to produce too much oil to compensate, while the dry flakies on top of the skin clogs the pores. An oil serum like this one can create a better skin balance. (And no, it does not make the skin more greasy! Oil serums are not solely for dry skin types.)
Ingredients: camellia oleifera (camellia) oil, simmondsia chinesis (jojoba) oil, rosa canina (rose hip) oil, passiflora incarnata (passionfruit) oil, prunus armeniaca (apricot) oil, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) oil, prunica granatum (pomegranate) oil, hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn berry) oil, daucus carota (carrot) essential oil, lavandula officinalis (french lavender) essential oil, citrus sinensis (sweet orange) essential oil, hypericum perforatum (st johns wort) essential oil, (helichrysum italicum) immortelle essential oil, d alpha tocopherol (vit e), limonene & linalool (occurs in essential oil).
Geishasöndag
Fransarna är #36 från MAC, jag älskar dem för att med dem ser det ut som om man har naturligt långa och tjocka fransar. Blacktrack eyeliner (fluidline, en liner med gelformula som man doppar en separat pensel i - jag använder #210.) Frankly Scarlet blush och ögonskugga, blandat med Passionate och Off the page. Studio Moisture Tint foundation, Studiofix puderfoundation över. Cherry lip liner på läpparna, tillsammans med Lip Erase som täcker läpparnas naturliga röda ton. Allt från MAC.

In English: Geisha time today!

In English: Theme day on our MAC counter in Copenhagen, Denmark! All of us wear the same makeup and, well, simply look hawt. See for yourselves!

Flirt with Fall #47
MAC Cosmetics finns i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö; mer information på www.maccosmetics.com.

In English: Where MAC is, it's party time. I'm wearing Lash #47 from the new Flirt with Fall collection, with hit the European stores yesterday. Quite far from discreet, I'd say - lovely!
Rocketqueen recenserar: REN No. 1 Purity Cleansing Balm
Jag älskar Purity Cleansing Balm för att det löser upp envisa pormaskar effektivt (fett löser fett så även den portion människor med oren hud kan använda en sådan här oljebaserad rengöring) och lämnar huden så mjuk och len efteråt. När man masserar in balsamet kan man faktiskt känna små gryn mellan fingrarna; yes, tittar man efter noga så är det pormaskarna som har lämnat sitt bo.
150 ml kostar 470 kr, men det är en rejäl portion man får så jag kommer faktiskt inte tveka speciellt länge innan jag köper nästa gång. (Blunda och tryck av på inezza.com, accessora.se, grooming.se eller eleven.se.)
Rocketqueen rekommenderar Purity Cleansing Balm från REN!

In English: Mmm-mm. Cleansing balm from favorite brand REN. I love both factors so this combo can't be anything other than a winner in my book. This balm removes all makeup (yep, also your hardcore waterproof mascara), dissolves blackheads and leaves a soft and plush skin behind instead of a flaky and dry one. One (rose scented) pump is enough for your entire lovely face; massage into dry skin, add a little warm water and the balm emulsifies into a milk. Remove wiping a warm-watered towel over your face or simply rinse off. (I've found that the former works a tad better, though - I also like that small portion of skin pampering.)
I adore Purity Cleansing Balm because of its ability to effectively dissolve those stubborn blackheads (as fat dissolves fat, even you with oily skin can benefit from this kind of cleansers), and because it leaves my skin with the most soft, smooth feeling. When you work it into your skin, you can actually feel small grains between your fingers; that's the blackheads leaving their nest.
150 ml/5.1 fl oz is £28 but seeing that you get such a huge amount of this a-little-goes-a-long-way product, I won't hesitate to buy this beauty again.

Fynda: bästa kroppscremen
Har jag förresten nämnt hur fluffigt vispad denna ljuvliga kräm är? Jag skulle nog drista mig till att kalla Creme Eclat själva essensen av "whipped" - det krasar när man drar fingret genom den, så mycket fluff får man.
Indulge.se som är en mestadels ekologisk webshop har en hel hoper fantastiska erbjudanden nu, så get it while you can!

In English: Creme Eclat from Om Aroma is a citrus-infused, fluffy body cream that made it to the 2008 hit list here at Rocketqueen's, and as soon as I spotted the sale at Indulge.se I had to get one immediately. 450 SEK when you already has a stash of body butters just waiting to be tried out, maybe not - but 100 SEK, yes please, I'll take two at once.
Did I mention how frothy this delicious little fluffiness of a cream is? I'd go as far as saying that Creme Eclat is the pure essence of "whipped" - you can really hear the cracking sound when you run your finger through it, that's how much fluff you get. Yum!
Att jobba på MAC

In English: I must have one of the best jobs in the universe. Imagine coming home to this goodie bag! Yes, this was in my mailbox this morning. Every month. For free! Delivery to the door. Oh yes baby! (Should you sense a certain cramp in the jealousy nerve at this very moment, it's okay. I promise. ;)
(For reference, these are products from the Make-up Art Cosmetics Collection, Flirt with Fall, Love that Look, Baby Bloom and Dazzleglass Creme.)
Alive
In English: Yes, I am alive! (Thank you for checking in on me though.) I've had a vacation for a long lovely time but now I'm back at work, so the blog should get its heartrate up pretty soon I reckon. A lot of good stuff has found their way into the Rocketqueen mansion so stay tuned for more...
