I helped my mom paint her house about 10 years ago. She thanked me and said it's a good thing I dont paint homes for a living bc I'd be cold and hungry. Lol RIP Mom
Congratulations on....well, life Angie!! Youre killing it here on TH-cam, great brand & now your home! You deserve all the good things & im really happy for you
That’s incredible that you were able to put fifty percent down payment! 😮 I don’t think you should feel some type of way for living in Texas. By the sounds of it, Austin seems lovely. Plus you have your business there now and your little family of pets too. And Ricardo being in Neuroscience which again, just incredible especially being in the addiction field, it’s very admirable. He’s doing important work for the world. I’m very happy for you Angie. 😊
When I'd started watching you YEARS ago Angie, you were in Sweden and I was in Denmark 😊 (way early when there were no aesthetic lighting or backgrounds in your videos) and I used to think what a great find (your channel)! She is the only no bs talented reviewer I can believe, hope she blows up big!! Many transitional years later you're now in the US and I'm in Canada... and I'm SO elated for you and for the fact we're still neighbors haha! Wish you all the best of life ❤😊
I bought a house when I was doing my doctorate degree because I knew I was going to be there for a while, and it was a better investment than renting. Plus the interest rates back then were so low that my mortgage was much less than renting as well. When I sold that house, to move here, we used that as our down payment, and it worked out great! I didn’t pick this area…it is just where the main physics labs are located!
I'm greek and I also hope I get to make enough money to end up living in peace in a Greek island far away from urbanization and close to beautiful beaches almost all year with sunny days 8 months per year. It's truly as if you're high without needing any substance to feel high. Things work at a slow pace and people are more communal. I'm also a med student and unfortunately the state doesn't have hospitals in all islands so someone having the bare necessities and not overcharging for profit is needed in these islands and when you offer important services the people truly appreciate and take care of you as well (like feeding you gorgeous greek food for appreciation for taking care of their loved ones). I hope you can achieve your dreams!!! Much love from this economically destroyed but beautiful country ❤
Also your husband being academic in addiction fits perfectly. We have some of the highest addiction percentages in Europe in smoking alcohol and opiates 😂 he is definitely needed here hahah
Definitely yes on the wallpaper. There are brands out there like Tempaper and Rifle Paper Co that are basically like a giant sticker that are very easy to put up and can be removed. I feel like it's a fun way to get a lot of impact without it being a major commitment.
Love rifle paper! I got mine from spoonflower and they have sooo much variety and types from peel and stick to textured. But yeah it beats doing just plain ol paint!
25:09 after my husband and I bought our first home we finally told both our parents period we wanted it to be a surprise. No one was the wiser. We kinda went quiet if you will for about a month and a half while we were in process of purchasing our first home. So I totally understand wanting to keep your sanctuary private. You don’t have to feel like you need to share what you want to keep for yourself. We understand.😊
Kelly Gooch uses a lot of temporary wallpaper. It always looks nice in her videos. I personally love a great wallpaper. I think it can really make a room pop.
This was so much fun! I knew your husband was in academia, but I didn’t know he was doing addiction research. This is such important subject matter. So amazing❤ I’m excited to see your new space. Congratulations🎉
Please don't apologize for keeping special memories for yourselves and not sharing with the world. In the future, those memories will be that much more special!
I love the wallpaper idea, that will give you so much freedom to totally customize the space to your exact taste without having to worry about resale value. Very happy for you and R that you got to make your dream come true to own a house. You are killing it this year! First two drops of your brand, lots of travel, trying so many new brands and now a home. Go Angie!
Congratulations again!! Not only on the new house but with the success of Singe. I actually use removable wallpaper as an accent wall. In my office space and daughter’s room I have decals. So I think it’s a great idea.
Wow, to be able to put down 50% is crazy (in the best way of course 😁). I completely understand that you want to keep some of the renovation for yourself, but as a makeup addict I hope you'll show us the process with your beauty room 😜
Austin is getting very expensive, so it is great you could buy a house. Also congrats on your new release, I picked the extension and can't wait to use it. I have been watching your videos since 2017 and your evolution has been aspirational.
I live in California and checked Austin prices...super cheap in comparison 😅 I wish housing wasn't so expensive here. I want to buy but most never do in this area.
It makes me so happy when you pick my question to answer in Q and A’s! I appreciate your transparency in discussing these topics, and keeping your video ideas new and fresh!
i remember “the truman show” and i couldn’t agree with you more about not sharing EVERYTHING that’s going on with your new home, and i reallllly appreciate the parts that you are showing us on ig. i’m soooo extremely happy for you and ricardo. my dream destination would also be somewhere in the mediterranean, but this isn’t a perfect world. i think your makeup came out GORGEOUS, and i’m LOVING the shroud blush and highlighter along with the ensleyreign palette. i’ve been dyinggg to try the shroud cheek products and ensleyreign as a brand altogether, and this palette was literally MADE FOR ME, and it will be my first purchase from the brand, and i loveeee your eyeshadow look!!! 💜💜💜
I totally agree with you that you should keep some things just for yourself. Moving is busy enough as it is, don't add the pressure of vlogging it all. I think your first house is a very exciting thing. 🙂 Once you've settled in, I would love to then maybe see a couple vlogs of you decorating the new filming room. 🙂
I painted most of my house, and I have repainted years later. Partly it was because we didn't have much money to take of certain things when it was first purchased. It is messy to work around your stuff, but I also have taken my time figuring out how to do certain changes to save on money. I do agree with the issue of cost of rent vs cost of mortgage. Depends on your circumstance and luck, it is somewhat cheaper to buy sometimes. But right now, with the house prices ballooning even in homes that need essential repairs, when you run total numbers this is not always true. I was eyeing Natasha Denona Retro Glam palette, but for some reason it wasn't resonating with me. I ended buying Ensley Reign Cold Moon instead and I'm very happy with it.
I’m an interior decorator (& cosmetologist) - I would suggest using a stencil instead of the wallpaper. Easier to put up wallpaper than take it down. A stencil can simply be primed and painted over. They are fairly easy to do using painters tape to hold down and paint. You can find many small or very large designs . The larger the faster and easier.
ah i so love having come across your channel. i totally concur about retiring in the med, esp somewhere in greece. i think north europeans just want the all year round warmth and delicious food the med had to offer xxx
Agree! The thought of moving furniture to "fix" stuff fills me with rage lol. I never thought I'd live in my first home this long, but at the 10 year mark I was fed up and painted the whole place. We rent 2 units and live in 1 (at the time) so between tenants I painted the downstairs unit in 1 or 2 weeks. First time in my life painting a house and I did it all on my own. Then we had new curtains and blinds put in. We've changed the showers, glass screens, even the toilets because the builder was a cheap arse and put all cheap stuff in because "it's a rental" and I don't agree with that sentiment at all! So mad! That builder went bankrupt from all his clients sueing him. ANYWAY! then I painted the studio when the other tenants left and we finally took over that area as our gaming centre and all my makeup is in that bathroom. And then the hard part of moving a bunk bed and painting my kids room, moving my king size bed and painting our room. I was doing like 10 hour painting sprees and then working night shifts in age care as a nurse at the time lol. Definitely rather do all that shit in an empty house
As usual the look is beautiful!! I haven't purchased any Ensley Reign but I want to. I would stay away from wallpaper whether temporary or not it will damage the wall which could end up costing you more money in the end. My hubby is in renovation and wallpaper of any kind is his arch nemesis!!
I know this might be so silly but I’m fan girling that you used one of my questions lol. Love you and your videos so much! I’m happy to hear you’re actually going to keep the sharing/vlogging to a minimum so you can keep that just for you. It is such a special moment with buying your first house and what you’ve accomplished. Xoxox ❤
hi angelica! i got my wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago and since then i have found and have been bingeing your videos! i love your energy and your calmness, as well as your honesty and expertise regarding makeup. it's also really nice to see someone with a similar story regarding why they are living the the US: my partner and i wish to move back home to his homeland, but i need to finish my military service in the US and we both want to get phds, so it's a bit complicated. it's nice to hear what you have to say about that.
This palette gives me Huda Beauty Rose Quartz palette! I have no idea why! I am so happy you are getting your own property and home. Get a pool going and a couple of places to sit and enjoy. ❤😊
Maybe it varies state to state but ive never used a realtor when apartment hunting in DC area. My friend and I would search online in the area and budget we wanted and just contact the leasing office for a tour.
Congratulation Angie! I think that is the most hard thing to decide paint colour etc. cos you would like to see those colours many years or you are thinking the next buyer..
Outsourcing what you can is a GREAT idea! We wanted to have our flooring redone before we moved in to our home, but we moved in 2020 and wood flooring contractors kept bailing on us and we had 2 appointments that didn't show up. So we had to move in and are still waiting to have them done because life is so busy now. It's going to be a LOT to turn our home upside down. But I'll also can't have the upstairs painted until the floors are done because I don't want to paint them twice. I totally get it!
Wallpaper can be awesome especially if you're using it to add texture not so much of a bright pattern but is settled texture or saddle pattern would be beautiful
I live in the UK and rent, but the buying process in England specifically is extremely laborious and difficult, with sellers being allowed to pull out literally right up until exchange. Its so ridiculous as the process is much more straightforward in Scotland and Wales… I would like to buy at some point but the process is just so complicated and overwhelming that I still have not done it.
Smart to buy and 50% down is amazing! I paid cash for my house and after 3 years it has increased in value by 75%. When you are ready to move, hopefully the market will be favorable for you.
A house is a SUPER smart investment if you can afford it! I've been watching for a long time and know how much a dream this has been for you. I'm working (slowly) on renovations in my own home and know how exciting that is, too! So happy for you!
I am catching up on your videos ( we had a baby and there’s so much to do). We have such similar circumstances, it’s interesting. We moved from Germany to the USA after my husband did his Doctors degree in Germany, Berlin. Then he found a position in Berlin but eventually they send him to the main research lab in the states. We basically had to buy a house because in our area, rent is very expensive and not a lot of rentals are available. We were able to buy cash, as we had saved up for quite some time. We are in a very small town though and we want to move to a bigger area. But for my husband there are certain places that have the good jobs for his scientific field. Seattle of California and Austin , Texas. In Germany not a lot of companies specialize in his field of science and salaries are much, much lower. If we could just be living anywhere, we’d go back to San Isidro, Guatemala, where we lived before Berlin. But there’s almost no research in my husbands field. Maybe someday. Good luck on everything.
Linda / GlitterFallout put up either a temporary wallpaper or like a wall vinyl or something in her filming space and I think it turned out great! It might be a great idea if you think you might want to switch it up once in a while? :)
Years ago when we bought a house, it was actually cheaper than our rent! Buying is a good investment. I just got my brushes today and can't wait to use them in the morning. ❤❤
Depending on the actual condition of the house (vs perceived) and the work you want to do, you may want to extend your rental contract by a month of two. Renovations almost always have complications and run longer than expected.
Do you watch nick lewis on TH-cam? As a first time homebuyer, I found his channel super helpful to learn interior designs styles and what is right for my home 😊 congrats on your new home 🏡
Temporary wall paper is cute, I think that would look really good. However I have never had to put it up/take it down. I’ve heard some people say it’s easy, some say it’s hard, sounds like maybe the kind/brand you get is what makes it easier/harder to deal with.
Congratulations on getting a house and making it your own. I have done temporary wall paper but have heard to be careful with the ones you purchase. Some temporary wallpapers have very heavy glues with high VOCs. I have some wall paper removal and installation experience. Took about a month to remove the wallpaper from a half wall (10 ft long * 3 ft high). Took about a week to finish installation. Hugh recommend hiring someone because of the precision you need to make the wall paper is even and pattern matches up well.
Your eye look today is as usual, gorgeous! I got the two new eye brushes Saturday and they are so amazing! So glad I added them to the original Angie 5! and so excited to see what you come up with in 2024.
I think wallpaper wouldn't feel personal, it feels more welcoming with the background of your house, and your personal style... maybe wallpaper when it's a makeup tutorial to focus only on the makeup... anyway I'll continue watching you 🤍🤍🤍🤍🧡🤍
Congratulations on your new house. I completely understand you not wanting to do the renovations yourself. We have gutted my house down to the studs....14 months later, all I can is...I have lovely studs. You do make me wish I had Instagram so I can follow along on the progress. I wish you both much happiness in your new house.
Yay! You answered my question! My husband and I are in the early stages of house hunting ourselves and was curious about the experience for you. We know the type of house we’d like and area so now we’re waiting for the right one to go on the market. Hopefully soon!
I can definitely understand wanting to keep some things for yourself and not wanting to show it all and definitely support that! You should definitely have things just for you. If you're willing I would love to see before and after photos when everything is all finished, but if not, that's ok to. Just excited for you! =)
it's nice just have paper on one wall I've had in the past on feacher walls if you paper a wall it is easily removed with a wall paper remover they don't cost alot but is time consuming but not difficult don't know if this is any help congratulations on your new home and for the latest makeup brush release xx
After seeing this eyeshadow palette here and on heathers page I am SO BUYING THIS! It was between this and the simply posh one but this color story and the PIGMENT is just amazing!
I'm thrilled for you and Ricardo because you're such hard workers. Home renovation is very interesting to me and I understand your need for some privacy! Architectural Digest is a great source you can reference for a possible accent wall. Waiting for my new Singe brushes, can't wait! Congratulations on everything!❤
Congrats on the house and new launch!! 💛💛💛 I rent and LOVE temporary wall paper and contact paper to update walls and furniture. It does leave some adhesive behind so get a good remover like Goo-gone.
I’m sooooo thrilled for you and Ricardo in this new phase, you deserve all the happiness in the world.❤❤❤❤ I’m obsessed with those cheek products, they look stunning on your face!!❤
I think its a very smart idea to buy a house in Austin because its a very up and coming area with a lot of people moving there now. Your eye look is so cute, that palette is just gorgeous! ❤
I’m so happy for you Angie! You are such a BOSS ❤ I’d like to see a video of what you “had” to leave out of your skincare/makeup during your move. The essentials.
My hubby bought ur brush set for me 😊❤I'm so happy for you all these amazing things are happening 2 u..I hope one day I can own my own house cuz rent in Massachusetts us crazy it's over 1,000
Super fun to hear all about your new home. Congrats again to you and Ricardo. I love the Cold Moon palette. Gorgeous. Also, I think the wallpaper idea sounds fun.
In your new home for X-mas, how exciting. I am a homeowner, unless you are really moving about, renting makes zero sense..... BUT here in Canada the mortgage rules and rates have changed drastically.. congrats to you both on attaining your goal :)
This looks somehow sinilar to the ND retro glam palette? I gimot the ND one due to me living in Spain but that Ensley palette is gorgeous, they're killing it
It's nobody's business (especially complete strangers) what the inside of someone's house looks like. Some people way overshare on social media. There's also a safety aspect ro keep in mind. Just my opinion.
Congratulations on a very successful year. The house, the launch and the channel are all good things. Owning may be the same as rent now but I’m sure you’ll come out ahead soon. I’m not sure whether ownership changes your tax structure asa a foreign national but it does change your status at the bank. You are smart to keep your house market ready. There is nothing temporary about wall paper. If you want a feature wall, pick carefully and spend the money. This looks lovely on you. It brings out your inner Nordic Goddess.
Hallo, so excited just ordered the face set, love my eye set. All removable wall paper not the same choose wisely. I actually in the past have use fabric on the wall removed easy.
I love your videos and I'm so happy for you & Riccardo! :) This palette's color story is stunning! And you always do the best swatches. By the way, your hair is so beautiful and it always is! I think a lot of us would be curious to know what tools you use to style it!
How does the Ensley Reign Cold Moon Palette compare to the Natasha Denona formula, since you've said that the ND formula is one of the best out there? Would you say it's in the same category, better or worse? I really love this cold moon color story, but I am wondering if it's worth the price or would I be better off with an ND palette?
I helped my mom paint her house about 10 years ago. She thanked me and said it's a good thing I dont paint homes for a living bc I'd be cold and hungry. Lol RIP Mom
😂 RIP your momma!
Congratulations on....well, life Angie!! Youre killing it here on TH-cam, great brand & now your home! You deserve all the good things & im really happy for you

That's the most important room, to most of us.lol......It can already be finished, I just love seeing beauty rooms.....❤
I don’t need a home renovation blog, but I for sure want to see it when it’s finished!

Buying property instead of renting is so smart if it's possible. You guys can always sell and make your money back. Congratulations!
As usual the look is beautiful!! I haven't purchased any Ensley Reign but I want to. I would stay away from wallpaper whether temporary or not it will damage the wall which could end up costing you more money in the end. My hubby is in renovation and wallpaper of any kind is his arch nemesis!!
My living space is taupe and mid century modern; my bedroom, however, is such a dark purple it’s almost black. I love having my tiny vampire cave.
I know this might be so silly but I’m fan girling that you used one of my questions lol. Love you and your videos so much! I’m happy to hear you’re actually going to keep the sharing/vlogging to a minimum so you can keep that just for you.

hi angelica! i got my wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago and since then i have found and have been bingeing your videos! i love your energy and your calmness, as well as your honesty and expertise regarding makeup. it's also really nice to see someone with a similar story regarding why they are living the the US: my partner and i wish to move back home to his homeland, but i need to finish my military service in the US and we both want to get phds, so it's a bit complicated. it's nice to hear what you have to say about that.
I agree about tile floors. Not my jam. And it is southern in some states like Florida but not old school southern. For me it’s gotta be warm woods.
This palette gives me Huda Beauty Rose Quartz palette! I have no idea why! I am so happy you are getting your own property and home. Get a pool going and a couple of places to sit and enjoy. ❤😊
I hope you could have a dedicated video for the cold moon palette, she looks beautiful!! Congrats for your new house!!
The separate office and filming spaces is the way! Love that for you
Wow, that blush and highlighter are GORGEOUS! I already love Shroud's eyeshadows, but clearly I need to check out their face products as well. 👌🏻😻💜✨
Maybe it varies state to state but ive never used a realtor when apartment hunting in DC area. My friend and I would search online in the area and budget we wanted and just contact the leasing office for a tour.
The Truman Show was so upsetting to me. I couldn’t finish it. Congrats on the house! It’s so exciting!!
26:45 Jesus, we are the same person. I love it. The 60s and 70s era Eco plant style is gorgeous.
🙈❤
Congratulation Angie! I think that is the most hard thing to decide paint colour etc. cos you would like to see those colours many years or you are thinking the next buyer..

good luck with moving and settling 🧡
i remember the Truman show!! it's 25 yo 😱

Its so ridiculous as the process is much more straightforward in Scotland and Wales… I would like to buy at some point but the process is just so complicated and overwhelming that I still have not done it.
I have no experience with peel-off wallpaper, but I am INTRIGUED. Would be the perfect way to add color and pattern without making it permanent.
Smart to buy and 50% down is amazing! I paid cash for my house and after 3 years it has increased in value by 75%. When you are ready to move, hopefully the market will be favorable for you.

Seattle of California and Austin , Texas. In Germany not a lot of companies specialize in his field of science and salaries are much, much lower.
If we could just be living anywhere, we’d go back to San Isidro, Guatemala, where we lived before Berlin. But there’s almost no research in my husbands field. Maybe someday.
Good luck on everything.
I love my Singe beauty brushes!! Best brushes of all time!!!
Linda / GlitterFallout put up either a temporary wallpaper or like a wall vinyl or something in her filming space and I think it turned out great! It might be a great idea if you think you might want to switch it up once in a while? :)
Years ago when we bought a house, it was actually cheaper than our rent! Buying is a good investment. I just got my brushes today and can't wait to use them in the morning. ❤❤
Depending on the actual condition of the house (vs perceived) and the work you want to do, you may want to extend your rental contract by a month of two. Renovations almost always have complications and run longer than expected.
So excited for you and your hubby! And i do think temporary wallpaper can be super fun! Xx
Do you watch nick lewis on TH-cam? As a first time homebuyer, I found his channel super helpful to learn interior designs styles and what is right for my home 😊 congrats on your new home 🏡
Temporary wall paper is cute, I think that would look really good. However I have never had to put it up/take it down. I’ve heard some people say it’s easy, some say it’s hard, sounds like maybe the kind/brand you get is what makes it easier/harder to deal with.
Congratulations on getting a house and making it your own.
I have done temporary wall paper but have heard to be careful with the ones you purchase. Some temporary wallpapers have very heavy glues with high VOCs.
I have some wall paper removal and installation experience. Took about a month to remove the wallpaper from a half wall (10 ft long * 3 ft high). Took about a week to finish installation. Hugh recommend hiring someone because of the precision you need to make the wall paper is even and pattern matches up well.
Revlon sparkling honey looks like a dupe for Chanel boy. I'll have to pick that up. TY
Congratulations on the house... But you can still make the Greek island happen!!!! Love from Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to get my hands on another eye brush set! they're all I wanna use! Have a wonderful day Angie 💛💛
You too!
lol yes I completely agree with you about not wanting to fix things after you move all of your stuff in.
Your eye look today is as usual, gorgeous! I got the two new eye brushes Saturday and they are so amazing! So glad I added them to the original Angie 5! and so excited to see what you come up with in 2024.
I think wallpaper wouldn't feel personal, it feels more welcoming with the background of your house, and your personal style... maybe wallpaper when it's a makeup tutorial to focus only on the makeup... anyway I'll continue watching you 🤍🤍🤍🤍🧡🤍
Definitely try the wallpaper!
Grattis till både Singe releasen och husköpet! 🎉❤
Congratulations on your new house. I completely understand you not wanting to do the renovations yourself. We have gutted my house down to the studs....14 months later, all I can is...I have lovely studs. You do make me wish I had Instagram so I can follow along on the progress. I wish you both much happiness in your new house.
Yay! You answered my question! My husband and I are in the early stages of house hunting ourselves and was curious about the experience for you. We know the type of house we’d like and area so now we’re waiting for the right one to go on the market. Hopefully soon!
Darn it, now I want that palette
I can definitely understand wanting to keep some things for yourself and not wanting to show it all and definitely support that! You should definitely have things just for you. If you're willing I would love to see before and after photos when everything is all finished, but if not, that's ok to. Just excited for you! =)
it's nice just have paper on one wall I've had in the past on feacher walls if you paper a wall it is easily removed with a wall paper remover they don't cost alot but is time consuming but not difficult don't know if this is any help congratulations on your new home and for the latest makeup brush release xx
After seeing this eyeshadow palette here and on heathers page I am SO BUYING THIS! It was between this and the simply posh one but this color story and the PIGMENT is just amazing!
I'm thrilled for you and Ricardo because you're such hard workers. Home renovation is very interesting to me and I understand your need for some privacy! Architectural Digest is a great source you can reference for a possible accent wall. Waiting for my new Singe brushes, can't wait! Congratulations on everything!❤
Congrats on the house and new launch!! 💛💛💛 I rent and LOVE temporary wall paper and contact paper to update walls and furniture. It does leave some adhesive behind so get a good remover like Goo-gone.
I’m sooooo thrilled for you and Ricardo in this new phase, you deserve all the happiness in the world.❤❤❤❤ I’m obsessed with those cheek products, they look stunning on your face!!❤
I think its a very smart idea to buy a house in Austin because its a very up and coming area with a lot of people moving there now.
Your eye look is so cute, that palette is just gorgeous! ❤
I’m so happy for you Angie! You are such a BOSS ❤ I’d like to see a video of what you “had” to leave out of your skincare/makeup during your move. The essentials.
I’m the same as you, we renovated before we moved a single thing in cause it’s not happening once everything is there lol
That palette is beyond stunning as are you! Congrats on the house and your brush launch very exciting!
That ensleyreign palette is so beautiful❤ I need every single palette of them😂
Getting that house was meant to be! 😊
My hubby bought ur brush set for me 😊❤I'm so happy for you all these amazing things are happening 2 u..I hope one day I can own my own house cuz rent in Massachusetts us crazy it's over 1,000
Super fun to hear all about your new home. Congrats again to you and Ricardo. I love the Cold Moon palette. Gorgeous. Also, I think the wallpaper idea sounds fun.
Girllll I am buying those brushessss! I just have to get past Christmas! I need to haveee them! 😩
In your new home for X-mas, how exciting. I am a homeowner, unless you are really moving about, renting makes zero sense..... BUT here in Canada the mortgage rules and rates have changed drastically.. congrats to you both on attaining your goal :)
Oh god that palette is muted cool tone dream. Looks sooo delicious.
Glad you love your neighbors and neighborhood! Congrats on the new house, hope you had an enjoyable and productive weekend!
This looks somehow sinilar to the ND retro glam palette? I gimot the ND one due to me living in Spain but that Ensley palette is gorgeous, they're killing it
It's nobody's business (especially complete strangers) what the inside of someone's house looks like. Some people way overshare on social media. There's also a safety aspect ro keep in mind. Just my opinion.
Congratulations on a very successful year. The house, the launch and the channel are all good things. Owning may be the same as rent now but I’m sure you’ll come out ahead soon. I’m not sure whether ownership changes your tax structure asa a foreign national but it does change your status at the bank. You are smart to keep your house market ready. There is nothing temporary about wall paper. If you want a feature wall, pick carefully and spend the money.
This looks lovely on you. It brings out your inner Nordic Goddess.
I need to learn from u start saving more
I really would like to know what life in Sweden is like? I’ve seen pictures and videos and it’s so beautiful over there
Hallo, so excited just ordered the face set, love my eye set. All removable wall paper not the same choose wisely. I actually in the past have use fabric on the wall removed easy.
Hhhhmmm wonder what the lipliner is 😊
Obsessed with this whole look + outfit + hair!!!
I agree, it's ok to keep some things private 💐 Have you considered maybe an interior designer, someone local?
Congrats on Singe Beauty. Love that palette. stunning
That color story of that palette is beautiful!!
I love your videos and I'm so happy for you & Riccardo! :)
This palette's color story is stunning! And you always do the best swatches.
By the way, your hair is so beautiful and it always is! I think a lot of us would be curious to know what tools you use to style it!
How does the Ensley Reign Cold Moon Palette compare to the Natasha Denona formula, since you've said that the ND formula is one of the best out there? Would you say it's in the same category, better or worse? I really love this cold moon color story, but I am wondering if it's worth the price or would I be better off with an ND palette?
Such an exciting time for you! Good luck with your short move, and have a fun week on vacation. Cannot wait to see your new space in the new year. 🧡
Wishing you happy and restful holidays, a smooth move and have fun on vacation with Ricardo. And enjoy your new house, you deserve it all 🤗🎉
Angie, I think Linda (Glitter Fallout) used temporary wallpaper for her filming room. Maybe see if she has any tips.
