OBSESSIONS!!! Inspiration/Items we must have!

What I love about fashion is how it evolves! And it's dynamic!
I am that kind of girl who always finds something new interesting and then I have an obsession. I want it so bad and I will even have dreams about rocking the item!
So what "new obsessions" do I have now? Well, I guess I am not the only one who shares the same obsessions, so let's just get it out there:

Oh. My. God.
When I saw pictures of Kylie Jenner and Dorothy Wang with their over-knee high boots, I immediately thought:"Where can I have these!?"
They are so lady-like and sexy, not slutty-sexy but sophisticated-sexy -you know what I mean?
They have always been trendy, but somehow I just feel it's the right time to wear these.

Okay, let's move on to the next obsession:

Again -sophistication! Wearing a turtle-neck shirt gives you the classy and fashionista boost. Turtleneck shirts also gives this vintage vibe, which we all adore.




And the last obsession:

If there is something I can't live without, then it's jewelry! Sometimes, I feel even uglier without them. These 3 in 1 necklaces add so much more to the daily life without being too much. It's really fancy without being party-fancy -you know, if people saw you wearing a 3 in 1 necklace it's not like they will think you are too glammed up.
One of my teachers is really stylish (I do admire her for that) and she wears 3 in 1 necklaces as well. See? It even suits well for work!

What is great with these inspiration/items, is, that they are simple. The good thing with simple items is that you can use them for school, work etc. and for parties or events. You can also, for an example wear multiple simple jewelry and it would not be over the top. But of course, the purpose with fashion is to wear or have whatever that float your boat and you feel comfortable with them.

But yeah, inspirations and items that we all can use if we feel we need a change in the wardrobe or whatever.

Until then!

Lipstick obsession! L'oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour Lipsticks

Autumn is here -Yay!
What I love the most of this season are the sweatshirts, scarfs, trousers and tights, but most important, the cosmetics! Right now the look is: simple eye make up, light countering/bronzer/rouge and either a colorful or nude lip stick. At the moment I have an obsession with lip stick, and right now I have around 6 and a lip stain from Sephora which I adore!
My mom and my friends are wondering why I am buying so many, and why I want more, but I definitely do not think I have enough, actually I need more!

Now that I have this lipstick obsession, I will do a review of the lip sticks from L'oreal Paris' brand: Colour Riche

http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/brands/makeup/colour-riche.aspx

When I discovered this brand I was in a Lorea'l shop in Oslo, and they had this amazing offer where you buy 2 of their cosmetics then you will get a free nail polish from the Colour Riche Brand. If you bought 3 more cosmetic you got to choose 1 of their cosmetics! Unfortunately, I could not buy 3 more cosmetics because I had to save some money. Oh, well at least I got these 3 babies, a free nail polish from the same brand and an eye shadow:

And here are the 3 babies I will review in this post:

As you can see, I have already used them (I bought them in August). I use them when I go to a party and to school. This is how they look compared to my skin and the name of each lip stick is written:

L'oreal describes their Color Riche Lipcolour lipsticks to be luxuriously rich in color, creamy and more moisturizing than before, and I cannot help to do anything but agree! The colors are so intense and it is not necessary to add 100x layers (if you ever do that?) and it stays on for a pretty good time. The hydration is amazing. I am fighting the fight against dry lips in all seasons, and normally I put on a lip balm before applying lipstick, but for this one, it is unnecessary. It feels good to have it on, and it does not feel that you are wearing too much.
But how is it possible for a lipstick to be so moisturizing? Because Colour Riche Lip Colour lipsticks contains Omega 3, Vitamin E and Argan Oil! We love everything with Argan Oil because of it's function as ultra-hydrations and moisturizing. This nourishing ingredients will give you soft lips throughout the day which is really tempting!


I like to use the Red Passion when I go shopping or doing anything else besides school, because it looks more creamy and it shimmers. It is also great for parties or other any events. The Rouge Corail is perfect for school or work because it's matt and it is less shimmering, but yet creamy. The Plum Passion is nice to wear to a party or to an event that is more fancy.


The lipsticks or lipcolours as some people like to call it, really suit this season, especially because of the rich color which gives the simple/nude look more intensity and therefore it's great to wear when you are going to school. It is also helpful to complete a more classy look for work or other events. If you do not want to spend tons of cash on one lipstick, or if you want to buy a lot of lipsticks (as I do now) I highly recommend this brand, because the price is pretty good and everyone can effort to invest in them. The brand has more than 30 different shades, so it is possible to find a lip stick that will fit in for any season, occasion and style!

Next time you go shopping, you should definitely take your time to check them out, and if so, comment below about your personal impression of this brand!

As for now, see you soon and enjoy the cold weather!!

Welcome to One of Million Women!

Hello everyone and welcome to One of Million Women!

As written in "About me", I'm 18 years and live in Copenhagen, Denmark.My parents are from Ghana, west Africa, and I can say that I am proud to be Ghanaian, and proud to be from Denmark as weird it may sound for others!
The purpose of this blog is writing about cosmetics and other beauty tips, mainly for dark girls like me, but of course everyone is welcome and feel free to read! Don't be shy!

This is not my first blog. I had one back in 2011-2012 where my style was heavily inspired by the Japanese sub-culture, Gyaru. I must say that I kinda laugh at myself and think "Oh God, did I really look like that!?" when I see old pictures of myself, but it is certainly nothing I am ashamed of and I am happy that I went through that period of my life, hahaha!

But yeah, this is a little introduction, and I hope you are as much excited for this blog as I am!
