My new year nails 2012

Hi guys! I am deeply sorry for the lack of fun Christmas posts this year, I had so so so many planned but I was writing a big assignment for school which counts as an exam, therefor I have been swamped this past December. I do actually have some Christmas nail designs which I didn't post in 2012, so I'll save them for December 2013.
But, lets talk about new years even though that was two days ago now ;)
I am home on Christmas break and I've only got 3 nail-polishes home with me, they are my Christmas presents for myself. I then watched Winterrose84's (YouTube) nail tutorial:

 - and thought, hey! What a great, easy design to do when I want to use all my colours and make something fun but still very easy.
So this is what I ended up with, you can also see the polishes in question. (I got the Essie polishes 60% off!! Great price in DK considering the cost double of which the cost in the US)

You can also see some of my mum's Christmas decoration and my very personal Christmas ornament to put on the tree, my holly Empire State Building thing :D

Very very happy new year to everyone!

Mood-board Inspiration: Edgy Pink

Hello you fellow beauty lovers!
Like any designer and any fashion-house, I too have a "mood-board". Well, it's a mood-wall to be specific, but that doesn't matter. On my mood-board I hang pictures of makeup, nail polishes, perfumes, clothes, accessories  makeup looks etc that I've cut out of fashion magazines and such. This is the first post of my new series, "Mood-board Inspiration:" where I'll take a certain point on the board and create some sort of makeup look, nail look or something else.
This look really originates from my fall-mood board, but I prefer this edgy look for new years.

In my newest magazine, they had a "pink for fall" theme which I to be honest, highly disagreed on - until.. I saw this wonderful edgy look that combines a darker look and tone on the makeup while letting it stand out with the use of pink. But I still prefer this for new years.

 My re-creation wasn't as dramatic with the very graphic line on the original picture. I suppose that I turned it into something more wearable.
Also, I allowed myself to combine it with a very bright pink which is (to me at least  a very summery colour, but for a sparkling new years eve party, it's perfect :)

What will you be wearing for new years eve?

Halloween ideas 2012!

Hello people!
As you might or might not know, I live in Denmark and here we don't really celebrate Halloween. Over the course of the past couple of years Halloween has become a bigger and bigger event though under the influence of America. However, the simple thing that Halloween isn't celebrated in Denmark and I'm personally not going to any Halloween events, I thought I'd share some ideas for Halloween looks.

First up we have a pretty classic doll-eye. I do want so say that I don't think this went really well, but hey I tried and that's what counts. Plus, my eyebrows are so friggin' big and bushy I couldn't cover them and I've never worked with latex before so covering them with that didn't work at all! ;)

BUT THIS LOOK! Omg, ME GUSTA! As soon as I had completed this look I simply couldn't stop staring at myself, wishing I was going to a Halloween party just so I'd be able to wear this! (I think this is also kind of a doll look. If I were to wear this I'd pair it with a babydoll dress.)
Note: Both of these look are done off of a picture/inspired of.

Also, this actually wasn't even done for you or for Halloween, I made these looks because I'm going to be doing the makeup for a foto-shoot my friend has arranged and will shoot. I'll be making look number 2 on the model - terribly excited to go on a shoot and do makeup even though it's just a hobby shoot.
What are you going to be wearing for Halloween?

Project Hair: Pre- and post haircut!

HELLO! Are you excited, I sure as bottoms am! Ready for some sexeeeeeeh before and after shots? Here we go.

 (What is my eye doing!?)

Overall, I got some layers going on and just... Stuff to make it look more alive. Now it's easier to volumize it and all the split ends have been cut off. I also got high-lights - LOVE THEM! MAHA, but next time I'll ask for some more, or at least some more vibrant ones.
So, from now on it's my responsibility to not let my hair turn into a haystack again! Follow my hair project on this blog ;)

By the way, I just want to say that it took THREE HOURS!!! and I'm still getting hair-dye out of my ears..

Project Hair: Introduction

Hi guys. Tomorrow at 2:00PM "project hair" will kick off. What is project hair? Well basically it's a born-again project for my hair. As it is, my hair is dry, dull, weird-coloured and just... Blurh
So project hair is my little project to get some life to my locks! Over the past couple of months I've been gathering delicious hair products all to be used from TOMORROW where I'm getting a haircut to set the project off. I'll get it cut, dyed and highlighted. From then on it's my loving care that hopefully will bring a better time on for my hair.

Project hair will include pictures from before and after my haircut, hair-care hauls, hair care routines, hopefully pictures of some hairstyles etc.The project won't last for a certain period of time or posts, just until I feel like my hair-care has become a routine and not something I'm practicing anymore :)

Look forward to it if you like... Hair... Or... Something along those lines, I'm super excited that's for sure!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yaaaay! Yesterday, September 22nd, was my 18-year old birthday, yipiiiiiie!

I had a very pleasant day. I went to a chinese restaurant with some of my family and some friends - it was so cozy!

I also got some great gifts, I actually got so many gifts I feel bad! Anyways, I'll do a what-I-got-for-my-birthday post in the very near future. 

SPOILER ALERT, one of these fabulous gifts is a Canon EOS 1100D camera, it's so wonderful I feel like crying! So look forward to very good quality pictures in future posts!

I love you all, Elk..

E.L.F. trying to save money on glue?!

Hey guys. Today I have a mini-complaint/review-ish thing... (Well that's interesting...)
A while ago I bought some make-up from E.L.F. and this is what happened with my Undereye concealer and Highlighter and my Powder Brush only a few times after having used them..

Oh yes.. When I see this picture I have 9gag thoughts, "some people just want to see the world burn" and "you had ONE job" - to friggin' glue these objects together, PROPERLY.
Really it's no big deal at all, I just glued it back up myself and it only took a minute, but I think it's really annoying that I buy a product and they don't even bother to glue it together properly... I really hope that using less glue is E.L.F. strategy to avoid the economical crisis 'cause I really don't think that's gonna work too well..

Oh yeah, and guess what just happened today as well. My big NEW only worn TWICE chandelier earrings from H&M BROKE! I swear I will sue them someday for make such sh*itty breaking jewelry - I'm so pissed!

Have a great day you good-looking person behind that screen!

She's the X

So last year I lived together with this girl called Charlotte, and we had an awesome time but it just became too much of a "hanin' out" kinda existence for me. I didn't do my homework and I went late to bed because of all the haning out. And then she'd get sick and I'd had to bring her food all the time, plus she wouldn't do her part of the weekly cleaning which made me feel like I did everything. Which, of course - SUCKED. I started to hide out in my room and not answer her when she called and so on. It all ended up very grim, she became very angry and so did I, I just didn't bother to fight with her about it.

So this year she said to me "I've been very mad and sad, but I think we should just forget it all" and I really agree! And luckily for us, we don't live together this year. But only 2½ week into the new school year, I see this all happening again. Now grimmer! I love haning out with her, but not three times a day, every day! It 's too much. Today she wanted me to go with her to the local café au lait to get some french fries, AS we have done the last 1½ weeks and I said "naah ah, not really" because, I really didn't! And while studying she comes to my room, knock on my window and she's like "hey can I borrow 50 cents"? Not that it's a problem that she wants to borrow a such small amount of money >.<'' It's just the whole I'M TRYING TO STUDY AND I'M REALLY LAZY SO DO OT INTERRUPT ME NO I DO NOT WANT TO COME WITH YOU part that annoys me. It's like a bad bromance! I swear, if this is going to start being a problem again I'll freaking...... Dom something really bad and bitchy >.<'' geez.

And now I'm just all irritated and most definently, not studying. I have an assignment for friday but it's only 200 words. Bah, well love ya'll xo Elk (:

No means?

Hey ya'll.

I have a friend named Charlotte and we have a common dialouge that goes down like this.
Charlotte: Hey dude, wanna go with me to pick up my laundry?
Me: Ehh, no.
Charlotte: Dude come on!
Me: Nah, no.
Charlotte: Please?
Me: No, really!
Charlotte: Come on!
Me: Eh. Well.... Alright then!

Also, we commonly have a dialouge going down like this.
Me: Hey wanna go to town? Just gotta buy some things.
Charlotte: No.
Me: Come on.
Charlotte: Noooo..
Me: Dude srsly come on!
Charlotte: No.

And the annoying thing is really, I just can't seem to tell her once "NO I don't wanna go with you, ACCEPT THAT like I accept you saying no to me!". And the weird thing is, Charlotte once told me about a gilr named Anna that told Charlotte "No, you can't have another sip of my beer" and the Charlotte told ME about it and she was all like, "Oh you know it's so cool she just said no, it's no - OKAY DUDE!" and Charlotte was all excited! All I could think about (of course) was, hey dude do you ever think - cool Elk said no, honesty is best! Or something.

Well well, later folks (;

Hi, I'm co-dependent!

Hey ya'll.
So, sonday night. Been sitting with my friend watching a movie and when I came back to my room I saw that my friend had texted me and rang me, twice. It's cool, I mean we haven't talked for some time. So I write to him over skype. I'm like "hey" and he's all like "OMG HIIIII! I MISSED YOOOOU!" and you know it's just. Am I being non-humane when I just start running away from him when he does that? Because REALLY my friend, I hate it! It's like saying "Oh hi! I'm co-dependent, can I please cling on you and be clingy for the rest of my life?". And you know what he says then, "you seem so cold." - YES I'M COLD! Uuuugh HAZARD, ALERT, CAUTION AAAARGH! Just, cling off me! I like you, I wanna be your friend but not your MOTHER! Anybody know this situation?
