I’m wearing coat from River Island, jeans and sunglasses from Asos, Adidas shoes, knitted sweater from Zara, Céline bag and scarf from Acne

Haha hälften av bilderna är från en lunch på Café Nero förra veckan, och de på mig är tagna idag. Ibland får man pussla ihop det helt enkelt hehe. Tonfisksallad verkar förresten vara min nya grej? Har ätit det väldigt mycket på sistone. Som ni vet så försöker jag att undvika kött och kyckling så mycket jag bara kan, kör mycket vegetariskt (hemma äter vi kött/kyckling/fisk till middag typ 1-2 gånger i veckan, resten vego. soyanuggets & chilibites är favoriterna just nu!) men ibland blir det fisk istället. Tycker det är svårt att käka vegetariskt till lunch ute, men det är ju för att det är rätt dåligt utbud på vegetariska rätter på lunchställen, speciellt om man vill undvika pasta och bröd. Mer sånt tycker jag!

Nu ska jag sticka iväg till fotostudion. Imorgon plåtar vi vår nästa kampanj så idag förbereder jag för det hela dagen. Imorse satte vi ihop alla looks och nu ska allt testas i studion. Hörs sen!

// Haha half of the photos are from a lunch at Café Nero last week, and the ones of me are taken today. Sometimes you just have to put the pieces together hehe. Tuna salad seems to be my new thing? I’ve had it a lot lately. As you know I try to avoid meat and chicken as much as I can, we eat alot of vegetarian food at home (at home we eat chicken/meat/fish for dinner maybe 1-2 times a week, rest of the time vegetarian. soy nuggets and chilibites are my favorites at the moment!) but sometimes I have fish instead. I think it’s so hard to eat vegetarian for lunch, but that’s because the lunch places have pretty bad selection of vegetarian dishes, especially if you want to avoid pasta and bread. We need more of that!

Now I’m off to the photo studio. We’re shooting our next campaign tomorrow so today I’m preparing for that. We put together all the looks this morning and now we’re gonna try it all out in the studio. Talk to you later!

THE MAKE UP WE USED IN CAPE TOWN

SKIN

Primer: Glow Maximizer, Dior.
Concealer: Terrybly Densiliss 3, By Terry.
Foundation: Terrybly Densiliss 7.5, By Terry.
Powder: Wonder Powder “Gobi”, Make up Store.
Highlighter: Soft & Gentle, MAC.
Contouring: Light/Medium, Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Blush: L’Orchidee Highlighting Blush, Sisley.
Setting spray: Fix Make-up, Clarins.
Body: Goodness Body Oil, Dove. Huile Rrodigieuse Or, Nuxe (for even more golden shimmer).
Brushes: By Terry

Gabriella says: Since the base is the most important thing in the whole make up, it’s very important to do a base that lasts all day and looks flawless. Even though we were shooting in the sun for 10 hours a day in 35 degrees, I barely touched Kenzas skin during the day because the make up lasted all day. What I do is that I always mix a little bit of the Glow Maximizer in the foundation as well to get more luster, and then the Wonder Powder gives a nice finish and keeps the make up in place. So for the base: first primer in the whole face, then concealer + foundation (with a bit of primer in it). Powder all over. Then contouring and highlighting + blush. Finish with the setting spray.

EYES

Eyeprimer: Clear, Make up Store.
Eyeshadow: The nudes palette, Maybelline.
White eyepencil: Inliner Blonde, IsaDora.
Brown eyepencil: By Terry.
False lashes: All Black, Sweed Lashes (Gabbi, Beroe and Ramina also shown in the photos).
Mascara: Define-a-lash, Maybelline.
Eyebrows: Dip Brow Pomade, Anastasia + Tri Brow, Make Up Store.

Gabriella says: Kenza feels most comfortable with smokey eyes in brown/bronze colors so we more or less always go for that look. On the other hand she likes playing with different lashes! In Cape Town we only used the single lashes “All black”, but when I do her make up for galas/parties we go for “Gabbi” or “Ramina”. I use the white eyepencil on the waterline to open up the eye, and the brown eyepencil between the lashes (instead of eyeliner when we want to do a softer look) to make them look fuller.

LIPS

For these lips: Lip pencil no5 burgundy, Sisley on the whole lip + Rouge Terrybly no 101, By Terry in the middle of the lip for the ombre effect (makes the lips look fuller!)
For these lips: Rouge Terrybly no 101, By Terry.
For these lips: Rouge Pur Coutur no 70, YSL. Kenzas favorite color.
For these lips: Rouge Pur Coutur no 66 + Terrybly Lip Pencil no1, By Terry.
Lip balm: Eight hour cream, Elizabeth Arden.
Lipgloss: Phyto Lip Gloss Nude, Sisley.

GABRIELLA’S FALSE LASH TIPS

The most important thing is to choose a falses lash that is easy to work with and attach. I always use Sweed because it adapts to the shape of the eye and stays there all day.

1. Pick a false lash that suits the size of your eye and the result you’re looking for. If you have small eyes you need a smaller lash. If you have big eyes you can wear a bigger lash and still make it look natural.
2. Does the size of the false lash matches the size of your eye? If not, you can cut off a little part from the outer edge.
3. Add glue to the false lash and let it dry for 30 seconds (this is very important!) before you attach it as close as possible to your own lash line.
4. Finish with mascara and carefully rub the brush from side to side to mix your own lashes with the false lashes.

Snapshots from beautiful Cape Town ♥

Lite bilder från dagarna i Kapstaden! Mer kommer.. Jag bara älskar det stället. Så jäkla vackert! :-) Hoppas att jag hamnar där en fjärde gång… Det är en rätt lång resa dit men eftersom att det knappt är någon tidsskillnad så funkar det ändå. Det jag älskar är naturen, ljuset (för foto är det PERFEKT!! fråga bara Madde, hon var i himmelriket och vägrade sluta fota om dagarna haha), maten och människorna. Varje gång jag har varit där har jag blivit tillsagd att vara försiktig och ja, eftersom att klasskillnaderna är så fruktansvärt stora där (vilket inte bara är tydligt ute i townshippen utan var man än går tyvärr) så är det inte så konstigt att det är hög kriminalitet, men jag har aldrig känt mig rädd. Klart man måste vara på sin vakt, men det måste man vara på väldigt många ställen i världen.

Nu ska jag gå tillbaka till att mysa med mina killar. Har saknat dem så mycket!!

// Photos from the days in Cape Town! More to come.. I just love that place. It’s so damn beautiful! :-) I hope I will go there a fourth time.. It’s a pretty long trip from Stockholm but since it’s barely any time difference it works just fine. What I love about the place it the nature, the light (for photographing it’s PERFECT!! just ask Madde, she was in heaven and refused to stop shooting during the days haha), the food and the people. Every time I’ve been there I’ve been told to be careful and well yes, since the class distinctions are so terribly big (which shows not only in the townships but everywhere you go unfortunately) it’s not strange that there’s high criminality, but I’ve never felt scared. Of course you’ve got to watch your back, but that applies to a lot of places in the world.

Now I’m gonna go back to cuddling with my boys. I’ve missed them so much!!
