Haul: A big one!


Didn't think I'd have it up tonight but here it is! I can tell you that I found my old camera that can actually take pictures like.. For real! I had some issues with my camcorder + pictures = shakyyyy!

Clothes

This is just a coral dress. I have tried it and I'm not too crazy about it, but it was on sale, I needed some new clothes so I figured why not. It's so sheer though that you can see right through it if you don't have anything underneath! It stinches in at about.. A little under the breasts, over the waste - something like that, and has two front pockets.

The item here is the red skirt, the skirt underneath is the same, yes, in navy blue that I already owned. I just liked it so much that I couldn't not buy it in red too. The red is a bit darker than on the picture. From H&M too ;)


Oh no she didn't! Oh yes I did! I bought a 2-pack pair of black tights 'cause I always wear them and a black pair of flight socks because I have restless legs syndrome and hope they'll help on my like.. 7 hour flight to New York.
(Sorry for shaky picture!) Next up is a beaaaautiful moss green top from H&M which has these.. Crystals I guess? Shiny plastic things at the top and it looks so pretty. I'm going to wear it tomorrow, so excited about it that I need to ;)

First up is a light gray haulter top that I got today at the 2nd hand shop. It has some gold hearts on it at the chest. It stinches in under the breasts which I like. It's from Sparkz.


Last but not least this skirt I'm crazy about! I really like it and am wearing it at the moment. It has pockets too which I didn't notice so I was happily surprised. Liek 'dem pockeets :D!

Accesories


Just a big but awesome tote bag. This is really going to a fave, I can feel it!

Two bangles my mom didn't want, so she gave them to me :D

I. Had. To. Get. These. EARRINGS!! I mean how can you not??! They ghettoblasters and and lightning bolts and and stars! And they're neon yellow and neon pink and blue and and! They're very street and awesome paired with some of those studs studs because I have several piercings in my ears!

Here are six pairs of studs in shape of.. STUDS! I get a laugh 'outta that all the time!


This adorable little purse/wallet/clutch thing. I love the colour and the design, it has three compartments and you can clip the little holder thing on and off to make it into a purse, wristlet or clutch. It has really good space in it even though its small.

.. My drawer to fill nail stuff is full ..
1. 100 fake nails with nail adhesive, they're very long and hurt to wear, I can't actually do anything when I wear them so I guess I'll use them for costume wear.
2. Sally Hansen Xtreme wear hard as nails topcoat, no. 100 Invisible.
3. Pre glues fake nails. Long too but not THAT long, THEY'RE SO PRETTY!
4. I had to get both :D I actually tried that pair and pre-glued my ass! I'm happy I bought nail adhesive!
5. Just a polish with a thin brush. Shamrock green.
6. Beautiful nailpolish but crappy quality. This is actually my second bottle, simply because I haven't found any other polish that looks alike and I need this colour... Bad...
7. A little wheel with nail decorations looking like slices of fruits and flowers. These has some name, can't remember what it is...

Make up

1. Has a really nice orange tint to it. (I really like an orange tint on the lips :D) and it smells sooo good, exactly lice ice tea.
2. It's called "Chachi's fried ice cream" isn't that cute? Besides that the product itself is brown in the tub, but comes up clear (thank God), it's says on the back that it's a lipgloss which I don't understand. It's a lip balm, duh. And it smells - like heaven! Mmm, chocolate heaven.

So I guess this is a 2 in 1 blush? The colour comes up really bad on the picture. Apparantly my camera does not like to take pictures of red colours, but in the little swatch picture you can see.
1. Is the light park, really nice for a cheek highlight.
2. Is the darker part on it's own, this is a little too pink for my taste, but it's OK if I don't get too much product on.
3. Is the two mixed together and my personel favorite.

Two mascaras from Rimmel. Day 2 Night in black and Extra Super Lash in Black brown, actually really disappointed about the colour because I wanted a brown and this just looks black, but if you study it VERY closely it looks charcoal.. And to be honest, no one studies the colour of you mascara unless it's like GREEn or PURPLE or PINK etc.


Random

Who is that? My crazy neighbor? Nope it's me - OH YEAH! I just wanted to show you my new glasses. I really dislike them, they don't suit me very well and you can't really see my beautiful eye make up :( So I'll get another pair soon.

So many candles I'm ashamed. I don't even wanna say how much candles worth of money there is here...

This perfume from my local random things imported from China store! AKA Panda warehouse. Coconut perfume, smells like.. Coconuts.. And a little bit of rubbing alcohol which I suppose is just due to the pretty poor quality of this product. But I'm a sucker for cheap crappy stuff.

Hope you liked the big haaaul. Next time I do a haul I'll not post such a long post again, hard to edit and probably annoying to read - soooory :S
BUT! Now that I got my old camera back so I can ACTUALLY take pictures again (YAAAY) I can do make up look of the day and outfit of the day. See ya'll soon!

Summer besties tag!

Hia guys! As with most of the tags I do, I tag myself :D these are my summer besties :)

1) Lip product

My Biocura Beauty lipbalm in Fruity and Shine. It's a lip balm and a lipgloss at the same time, it's super pretty and shiny, it smells really good and tastes like sugar :D it stays on for a long time and it's very light.. Loove <3

2) Blush and 5) Powder face product

I combined this category only because I don't use a powder or bronzer on a regular basis so this product covers both categories. My Rimmel London powder blush in the colour 031 BERRY, it probably looks boring which is exactly what I thought when I saw it in the store, then I swatched it and fell in love. It's very toned down and looks great on me, applies really well too :)


3) Nail Polish

I have sooo many nailpolishes I haven't got one favortie for summer. But this is a colour I have really been craving this summer! This is 070 from [b]asic. The colour shows up really bad, it's orange like the Blogspot icon ;)

4) Liquid face product

My mattifying face cream from Kult. I got the face wash and the face cream. The face cream STIIINKS! So synthetic but it mattifies and soaks in, something which is a huge issue for me! I haven't been using this so much but, so far so good :)

6) Hair product

Besides hair ties, it's gotta be my Garnier Mother of Pearl and Cherry conditioner. I always have a hard time untangleing my hair after showering, but this solves that problem. It gives a nice shine, makes my hair really soft and has a fantastic smell that lingers!

7) Eye product

This is my cream eyeshadow from Oriflame in the colour Sandy Brown. I looove this! I get compliments on this every time I wear it. I usually use it as a base and then I build my gorgeous nude-ish look onto this. It's love! <3

8) Self Tanner (or any tanning item)

I am white like a blank piece of paper! If I ever dare going out into the sun I go aaaaaall red! So I don't tan, in any way - not even self tan! I love my natural teint ;) what I do do, is use my sunscreen that I really like from Piz Buin which has some weird thing in it that enhances the slight colour I do get, so I guess it's kind of a tanning product.

9) Fashion accessory


I think it'll be these shoes. I really like them, I'm not one of those girls like them Sex and the City girls who always rund around in high heels, my feet get so soar! But the heels on these shoes aren't very high, the fancy but still casual. I really liiike them! :)

10) Clothing piece

This dress from H&M. This is the picture from their website but I do own this myself though ;) This one has a slight V neck I noticed and my doesn't. Otherwise it's the same model. Again I like this because it's comfy, dressy and casual all in one :)

Hope you liked the tag, please do your own summerbesties! I'd love to read it/see it, if you do please leave a link in the comments.

Nails: My current nail obsession

Hia guys! I work as a cashier so I get to see people's nails alot. About a year ago I saw this girl who had a french manicure in lilac glitter, I thought it was sooo tacky but also I thought it was really interesting. Just a little while ago I was at work again I saw a woman who had her nails in a teal glittery french manicure. But since I don't have a lilac glitter polish or a teal glitter polish so I just used what I had.



I couldn't decide whether I wanted to make it with gold or red, so I did both. The gold isn't that obvious, the red has more contrast but I really like both.

Here are some pictures I found on google.





I really like these pictures and I'm so inspired. Besides this being super pretty it's really easy too. Normally I do my french manicure in free hand, but this time I decided to use tape, just regular scoth tape. You can also use those stickers if you don't like using scoth tape. But I do reccomend trying to practice as much as you can because I really find that free hand works best :)

Yet another beauty tag!



14 questions, GO!

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

All of my palettes and eyeshadows. Simply because I feel like if you wear eyeshadow without mascara or eyeliner it looks like it's not done. Like a painting without a frame so I just think it looks better if you wear eyeliner and mascara without eyeshadow.

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Never cut it again. Normally womens hair only gets about 70cm long naturally, and if the length is annoying you can just put it up.

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral. I'm afraid that I'm just not alot into the whole pink thing, I happen to think that it can easily look like too much.

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, Would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Makeup, I hate shopping for clothes. I only do it out of necessity.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
Eyeliner as lipstick. I have a red eyeliner and a darker redish/brown that I actually use as lip colour. The best red lip I've ever had!

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora, wider range of brands and wider range of prices.

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
Eyeshadow colour since I normally forget to apply lipcolour or wipe it of because I feel like it has worn off.

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
To be honest I wear the same clothes all year around, and what I wear is sort of a autumm type clothes so. Either way, it doesn't matter ;)

9.) Would you rather dark nails or bright nails all year round?
BRIIIGHT! Bright bright nails!

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Favorite lip product. My eyes is the best thing about my entire body, I love them and want to decorate them as nicely as I can!

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?
Messy bun. I think a ponytail looks so plain and a messy bun is just.. More relaxed, more boho.. I dunno, I just like it better.

12.) Would your rather never being able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
Never use lipgloss. As mentioned earlier, I don't really use lipecolours on a regular basis.

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? or sharpie them in everyday?
If you by "sharpie them in" mean draw them on, that's what I'll pick. I simply can't imagine a face with eyebrows to express yourself with.

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
A question I almost can't bear to answer! But I think I'll let the nailpolish go.

More posts will come!! It's just because I'm without camera at the moment so I can't really haul.
