Jag som aldrig tycker att jag passar i hatt annars hittade denna (och en liknande i en annan färg) i ett stånd i Kapstaden, och nu sitter den på hela tiden haha. :-) Sjukt bra sätt att dölja ett skitigt hår ju! Lockade bara ändarna lite snabbt och så på med hatten.

Hoppas ni har en bra torsdag so far! Jag vaknade upp med halsont och kände mig helt hängig så jag jobbar hemifrån idag. Den senaste halvtimmen har jag ägnat till att anmäla ett instagram-konto som inte bara använder mina bilder och låtsas att det är hen (det händer ju hela tiden tyvärr och tillslut orkar man inte bry sig så mycket) utan även kontaktat massa företag och erbjudit dem reklaminlägg mot betalning (fake-kontot har över 50tusen följare). Usch vad smutsigt. Ett av företagen jobbar jag med så de hörde av sig och berättade detta så nu är allt anmält. Det händer även väldigt ofta att jag blir kontaktad av snubbar som haft någon slags relation med “mig” och sedan fått reda på att det inte alls är tjejen på bilderna (mig) de pratat med. Sånt är så jäkla obehagligt! Kan inte folk bara lägga av med sånt trams. Vad får de ut av det?! Det finns en hel del baksidor med att vara en “offentlig person”, som t.ex. att folk varje dag ska prata om en och kritisera en och allt man gör. Det spelar ingen roll vad man säger eller vad man gör, något är alltid fel. Folk kan vara så jäkla elaka och trots att jag gjort det här sedan jag var 15 (snart tio år) så kommer jag aldrig vänja mig vid det. Det är inte kul. MEN sedan har jag tusentals andra människor som varje dag lämnar fina och peppande kommentarer/mail bara för att göra mig glad. Killar och tjejer som hör av sig bara för att berätta hur jag inspirerat dem eller hur jag (omedvetet) hjälpt dem genom svåra perioder i deras liv. Jag kommer ALLTID välja att lägga min fokus på er! Alltid! <3

// I never think I look good in hats but I found this one (and a similar one in another color) in Cape Town and now it’s on all the time haha. :-) Such a good way to hide a dirty hair! I just curled the ends really quick and then put on the hat.

I hope you’re having a good Thursday so far! I woke up with a sore throat and no energy at all so I’m working from home today. I’ve spent my last 30 minutes on reporting an instagram account who’s not only using my photos and pretend it’s her (unfortunately that happens all the time and in the end you get too tired to care) but also contacting lots of companies and offering them posts for money (the fake account has more than 50k followers). Uhh that’s so filthy. I work with one of the companies he/she contacted so they told me about it and now I’ve reported it. It also happens a lot that I get contacted by dudes who says that they’ve had some kind of relationship with “me” and then they found out that they have not been talking to the girl in the photos (me). That’s so awkward! Can people just stop doing that kind of shit. I don’t understand what they get from it?! There’s a lot of bad things about being a “public person”, for example that people every day talks about you and criticize you and everything you do. It doesn’t matter what you do or say, something is always wrong. People can be so damn mean and even though I’ve done this since I was 15 (almost 10 years) I will never get used to that. It’s not fun. BUT then I also have thousands of people who leave sweet comments/e-mails every day just to make me happy. Guys and girls who contact me just to tell me how much I’ve inspired them or how I’ve (unconsciously) helped them through hard times in their lives. I will ALWAYS choose to put my focus on you! Always! <3

THE MAKE UP

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.

Knitted sweater from IVYREVEL (I’m wearing size 36) // Asos jeans // Nike Air Max 90 shoes // bag from Whistles

En bekväm look jag älskar att köra på under våren! Vitt och fräscht med inslag av sportigt. Och den här stickade tröjan med gråa och limegröna ränder är perfekt för det. :-)

Imorse började vi klockan 8 med möte med hela teamet. Är så peppad inför allt som händer nu att jag spricker. Vill bara tala om allt för er men snart så!! Nu sitter jag och jobbar men blir avbruten HELA tiden för brandlarmet har spårat och ringer var femte minut?!?! Och varje gång vi klär på oss och börjar gå ner för trappen så slutar det haha.. Men det slår ändå inte den gången jag och Klara var på Sturebadet (spa) och brandlarmet börjar tjuta. Då fick vi gå ut på svampen (mitt på Stureplan alltså) i BADROCKAR och tofflor, mitt i vintern. På toppen av det så var det någon som smygfotade mig och la upp på Instagram och taggade mig. Härligt haha!

// A comfy look I love going for during spring! White and fresh with a sporty touch. And this knitted sweater with grey and lime green stripes is perfect for that. :-)

This morning we started the day at 8am with a meeting with the whole team. I’m so excited about everything that’s happening right now, it feels like I’m about to burst. I just want to tell you about it….and soon I will!! Now I’m sitting here working but I’m getting interrupted all the time because the fire alarm is going crazy and is ringing every 5th minute??!?! And everytime we put on our clothes and start walking down the stairs it stops haha.. But it’s not worse than that time Klara and I was at a spa and the fire alarm start ringing. We had to go outside (in the center of the city) in ROBES and slippers, in the middle of the winter. And on top of that someone took a photo of me and posted it on Instagram and tagged me. Nice haha!
