Makeup: Pink mood!


Make up of the day, in the pink mood. I usually don't really wear pink make up, I simply just think it's too.. Pink! But I get my moments of pinky-mood. This eyelook was actually quite simple before I added the winged glitter liner and the pink lips :)

Having a good weekend? :)

Music: My summer faves

Hiaa guys. As I wrote in an earlier post I really wanted to do as list of my favorite tracks for this summer. Being so stupid as I am I didn’t know how to feature a video in my blog. (Apparantly the ’embed’ button is very hard to find.) BUT! Now I have and we’re in August, the end of summer at least for where I am on the globe. September is the official first month of autumm. So here’s my list:


Even though I’m not too crazy about Rihanna as a person/artist/whatever, I do like some of her music and I love this one. It’s been on replay alot!


Rihanna’s S&M has also made it alot to my summer playlist. J


Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).


Katy Perry’s E.T. I have listened to the version without Kanye West but I just like this better. I think it’s because this was the one I heard first.


Super-crazy Ke$ha’s We R Who We R plus thumbs up for super insaaane (not as crazy as Lady G) make up and outfits, really like the super sexy mirror bodystocking look!


The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, looove that I’m not the only person who feels like this sometimes, now we have an entire tribute song! <3


Judas by Lady Gaga. I actually haven’t really been listening to her new music although I’m a true fan, she rocks! So I have something to look forward to.


Of course her Born This Was also had to be thrown in here!


Probably the track I’ve been listening to most this summer. Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, I like the frase ”everybody just wanna have a good time”, ’cause we all do!

So of course there’s a load of other fantastic tracks out there right now, and other tracks I’ve been listening too but I didn’t wanna make it too long. Even though it’s still kinda long ;)

My day: A trip to amusement park

Hi all. So yesterday me and my friend Charlotte AKA Lenny went to the amusement park where I work to have fun and not work :D I didn't take that many pictures but I did take some. I was kind of dissapointed actually, it was more boring than I remembered it to be :) the weather was kind of against us, it changed all the time. Sun, rain, sun, rain etc. It rained exactly as a long at a time so I stopped, took my coat on and then the rain stopped. That happened about five times at it was windy. But there weren't many people. Now for some pictures.

I left home so early that she wasn't even awake when I went to pick her up so we had to stop before we started to fix some make up.

There were these cute dogs. I kinda felt like a creeper taking pictures of people who I didn't know's dogs.

The other dog. Soo cute! Just a puppy :)

Lunch. Lovely disgusting, fries, french hot dogs and soda.
Luckily it was raining for a LONGER period of time when we were eating.
Lenny on top, me a bottom.

Lenny was feeling kind of sick so we sat down before this ride. We'd bet on who came longest down on the black mats, it was alot of fun and we both won several times.

Some pictures of the decorations at the Seal ride which is just sailing around in a little boat.

More Seal ride decor.

Probably the biggest/craziest ride in the park. This swings so much you get turned upside down, oh yeah it goes higher than the picture but not all the way around (thank God!). I've tried it twice, it's a lot of fun but I was scared of losing my glasses.

So that's it. I also took some video footage of the river rafting course. Trying to see if I can compose a little video but I'm not sure.

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!

Really hoping I can borrow my fathers fabulous camera so I can snap some awesome photos :)

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 :)
