Jahloja

Hnnhg. Veli ja sen tyttöystävä ovat vallattoman ihania otuksia. Sain lahjakortin Inglotiin sekä ihanan kasvonpuhdistus ja -kosteutussetin ja veljen tyttöystävä teki mulle swatchin shoppinkihämminkiä varten *__* Kiitoskiitos. Nyt sitten odottelen, että pääsen kotoa ulos. Wait for it.

My brother and his girlfriend are like the most amazing creatures on the earth. They gave me a gift card to Inglot and a lovely face cleansing set and my brother's girlfriend made me a swatch of Inglot's stuff for shopping *___* Thankyouuuu.

Jälkeen joulun

Morjenttes sanoi kuppa termospullolle.

Päädyin lopultakin siihen, että kirjoitan sekä suomeksi että käännän myös englanniksi tekstin. Se tuntuu kaikista ehkä parhaimmalta vaihtoehdolta, ja nyt joudutte kärsimään huonoista heitoista molemmilla kielillä.

Lyhyessä ajassa on tapahtunut paljon jännyyksiä. Päätin vihdoin luovuttaa ja värjätä hiukseni uudelleen, koska oloni oli erittäin epäkotoisa omassa luonnonpunertavassani. Oli vaan niin väritön olo, kun silmät on kivenharmaat, iho valkoinen kuin mikä ja pukeudun mustaan. Hiuksien vain pitää olla voimakkaammat tai olen kuin mustavalkofilmistä.

Hello there everyone.
I ended up writing both in finnish and english, because it seems to be the best option. So now you have to tolerate bad jokes in both languages, heheheh.
There has been many odd things in a short time, I finally gave up and dyed my hair again because I did not feel comfortable in my natural strawberry blonde one. It felt so colorless as my eyes are stone gray, skin is white as a damn chalk and I mostly dress in black. I just have to have some color in my hair, you know?

Tukka päätyi tummanpunaiseen, joka näyttää kuvissa hieman vaaleammalta mitä irl. Etsin vieläkin ratkaisua siihen, että miten saan kunnollisia meikkikuvia talvellakin - toistaiseksi ratkaisuna on kirkasvalolamppu. Tummanpunainen oli kiva, mutta ongelmaksi muodostui yllättäen villiintynyt tukkani - juurikasvu näkyi alta aikayksikön ja rumasti. Plus että tuo väri ei haalistunut tipan vertaa kauniisti, ja ylläpitoyrityksistä huolimatta se päätyi sopimattomaksi sinertävänkukertavaksi epämääräisen punaiseksi. Totesin, että oli aika siirtyä vanhaan luottotukkaan - yleensä naturellihkoon oranssinpunaiseen, joka värjätessä on erittäin räikeä.

I ended up in dark red first, and it looks a bit lighter in pictures than in real life. I am still looking for a nice light for taking make up pictures at winter, and now I am using my "sunlight"lamp. The dark red hair was nice and pretty, but hell to maintain - my hair has decided to grow very fast and my roots are light and that color did not fade nicely at all. It looked just... awful in the end. So I decided to move on to my trusted haircolor - flame red, which fades into a beautiful natural red.

Nyt on sitten otsiksen kanssa ongelma. Kuten varmaan huomaatte, otsani on iso ja valkoinen kuin Muumipeikko itse, joten se tarvitsee peittoa tai Space for rent-kyltin. Otsatukka on halvempi, mutta hiusten pituus ei vielä anna oikein periksi millekään.

But now I have a problem with my bangs. As you can see, my forehead is big and white like the snowman or Moomintroll itself, and it really needs something to cover it, bangs or a "space for rent"-sticker. Bangs are cheaper, but my hair is not really long enough to cut some bangs to look nice.

Jouluaattona näytin sitten tältä. Päätin läimiä ihan hillittömän määrän glitteriä naamaan (varmaan jonkinasteinen kieroutunut pakkomielle?) ja sotkea jonkinlaista rajausta. Iho on päättänyt vihdoinkin ottaa lungisti ja totesin että kyllä toi oranssinpunainen on se juttu tämän tyttösen kuuppaan. Näytän heti niin paljon elävämmältä. Lisäksi vielä kuva yksistä lempikorvakoruistani, hnngh.

At Christmas eve I looked like this. I decided to slap some glitter in my face (it seems to be a twisted fetish for me nowadays...) and mess up some liners in it too. My skin has decided to take it easy finally and I noticed that the flame red is really the best color for my skin and eyes. I look so healthy. And here is one of my favourite earrings from Bijou Brigitte, hnngh.

Sitten vähän ärsyttävämpään asiaan. Polvi sanoi tosissaan sopparin irti, ja kävelykyky on huonontunut. Nyt odottelen jonkinasteista tuomiota/hoitomuotoa, mutta vähän alkaa näyttää siltä että polvi päätyy veitsen alle. Kivut on kovat ja kauniisti ilmaistuna vituttaa kuin pientä oravaa, koska kävelykyvyn heikentyminen aiheuttaa hieman ongelmia normaaliin arkeen. Tai no ei niin hiemankaan. Kaikki jaloilla tehtävä liikunta on aikalailla siis jäissä, eli saan vain punnertaa, lankuttaa (polvea suojaten), vatsoja yms yläkroppaa tehdä. Ja onko intoa? No ei oooole. Mutta hei, aina voi mennä pahemminkin. Eipä tässä auta jäädä negatiivinekkuna kiroamaan polvea alimpaan helvettiin, vaan nyt odottelen toiveikkaana jos vaikka siihen keksittäisiin poppaskonsti.
Sadetanssi on kokeiltu, älkää ehdottako sitä.

Onnenpäivä

Olen vain kerran elämässäni itkenyt ilosta.
No nyt tuli tehtyä se toisen kerran.
Olin katselemassa ympärilleni mielenosoituksessa eduskuntatalon edessä lähinnä mielenkiinnosta. En uskonut että laki menisi läpi vieläkään, mutta toivon kipinä oli.
Sitten yhtäkkiä ihmiset alkoivat hurraamaan, kiljumaan ja halaamaan toisiaan. Tajusin että nyt se tapahtui - läpi meni. Purskahdin ilosta itkuun ja soitin äidille - nyt se tapahtui.

Tahdon 2013, Tahdon 2014, Tahdon nyt, aina ja ikuisesti. Kiitos Suomi. Vaikka tämä ei ole vielä tässä, niin tämä on iso askel. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että todennäköisimmin tasa-arvo toteutuu.

En ehkä kestä. Alan taas vetistelemään.

Rati riti ralla

Päätin sitten kokeilla mieluummin suomeksi kirjoittamista. Ehkä se on kuitenkin se parempi vaihtoehto. Juttu varmaan on paljon vapaampaa. Ehkä mietin kaksikielisyyttä. En tiedä.
Noniin, mennäänpä viimeisimpään kuvattuun meikkisotkuuni.

Tadaa. Silmät näyttävät taas kumman sinisiltä, mutta syytän talven ihanaa ylikylmää valoa jonka ansiosta muistutan aamuisin ruumista kalpeuteni puolesta. Uskokaa pois, katoaisin hankeen jos vain haluaisin tän ihon kanssa.
Meikki on tehty Coastal scentsin 88 paletilla, ja kuten näkyy niin olen käyttänyt häpeilemättä vihreää. Ehkä kompensoin sillä tämänhetkistä tukka-ahdistusta (ikuista moista). Linerinä on vanha kunnon Rimmelin Glam eyes ja kajaalina Isadoran musta pehmoinen kajal. Haluan tummat kulmat takaisin, nää vaaleat näyttää kahta läikikkäämmältä. Toki voi olla tekemistä senkin kanssa että evo :D Tukasta puheenollen...

Kattokaatten, tukka taas polkkapituudessa! Se on alkanut kasvamaan ihan kauheeta vauhtia, mikä lisää sitä että en enää kestä olla naturellissa hiusvärissäni. Jotenkin tuntuu, että jää se tietty edge pois joka yleensä ulkonäöstäni löytyy.

Niin, ja tämän luomivärin poistettuani jäsen Pablon eli kissani karva päätti kokeilla, että miltä tuntuisi asua sille eiluonnollisessa asuinympäristössä ja matkakohteeksi valittiin vasen silmäni. Vasen silmä vastasi tulehduksella. Tulehdus viikon meikki- ja piilarikiellolla. Kiitti muroista, vasen silmä. Ihan kuin et olisi jo valmiiksi suoraan sieltä itsestään. Onneksi tosin nyt alkaa olla jo ohi tulehdus, mitä nyt silmä tykkäsi vielä hieman kyttyrää piilarista. Rilleissä vain on ongelmana se, että piilottaa meikin lähes täydellisesti.

Sörsselssön sentään. Ainakin on valoisampaa lumen takia.

Glitterface

Hi.
So, my parents asked me to go to eat with them, so I decided that this was a great oppornity to look like a clown put some makeup on.
I actually had two looks. This is the first one:

I liked this one very much, but then I remembered that I don't have anything to match. My clothes are mostly black or earthlike colours, so bright teal wan't that great idea after all. Though I have this one shirt with teal cat eyes... Oh well. Don't mind my hair in these pictures, I just brushed it somehow :D
This look is made with my Coastal scents 88 palette, a random Gosh palette I took from my friend who did not need it anymore and asked if I wanted it. I actually used these same eyeshadows in my other teal look. The glitter is NYX Candy glitter line in Jade.

As I said, it did not match with anything I owned, so I washed it off and started again. I look so odd in this new make up, but I kinda like it.

My hair... I just experimented something with it, and somehow I had a hair like my ex classmate (Moi jos luet tätä jäsen V) but hers is naturally that curly and it is more awesome than mine >8( I actually sent a pic to her and said that OMG SAMEHAIR. The color is matching at least :D

I used some dark redpurple lipstick from Sephora. I bought it when I was in France about four years ago, and I kinda miss that Sephora now.

Hnngh. With my glasses I looked like a librarian with killing glare, whoops.

A normalish weekday make up

Hello there.
So I've been having a massive haircrisis (Yeah yeah I know, again) and beanie has been my saviour very many times nowadays. Just as today.

 

So this was my look today. I decided to try those inner corner linings, and gratefully it did not look that bad. I put some warmer brown today as my eyeshadow instead of my normal neutral ones. Then I slapped on some lipgloss from dun dun dunn, LIDL! 

 I kinda got my will to do make up back even for myself. Even though this is neutral, I have some plans of doing more halloweenish make ups this weekend. AND I will paint my nails too, now this green one is very chipped and well...

So here it is, the lipgloss from Lidl! I saw this one accidentally when I was shopping groceries with my friend, and I just had to try it. And boy I am happy about it. This is not that sticky, but it feels pleasant on lips and gives them a little bit of color and amazing shine! It is easy to apply and well, I just love it. Too bad they appear only sometimes into Lidl, as I would want to try more of their cosmetics. Their facial lotion has been my favourite a while, but my skin is now getting even dryer than usual so I have to think up some solutions. 

Haha, sorry for the quality, but I just had to post this one too. This is actually my hair on it's natural state - picture taken by myself back at 2008. It is close now, and the roots are showing fast. They are a bit odd colored now, but they turn into strawberry blonde when they grow. I am thinking of not coloring this until this is about bobcut lenght. We'll see how long I can last...

See ya next time. Next time I might be bearing some good news!

I got an Instagram!

So I decided to get one to make one. Not sure really why. Just some make up etc stuff.

http://instagram.com/messymercurica
Here you go.

Pink copper

Again here I am.

So my friend S decided to text me that she wanted me to paint her face with some of my make ups, so I was like "K" ja she came to my home, and the painting begun. We actually had to use my sunlight lamp to imitate natural light as there were very little of it left.

I had this copper eyeshadow pigment from Inglot from doing my friend's graduation make up, and it really looks beautiful on green and grey eyes. S has very, very bright green eyes and the copper makes them pop out even more! I added some duochrome copper eyeshadow too to put a small twist on a normal eyeshadow, and I love this sunset copper-pink tone. I have actually one nailpolish like that! The sunset pigment is from Inglot too, I don't really own much from them but their pigments are amazing. Though now I am drooling the Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette, as I have drooled it for an eternity... Maybe next month :D

And here you go, the full look! Well we did not put anything else but eyemakeup this time but S has a great skin so she really does not need any skin makeup. And this was basically a test as the last time I tried to do her make up I failed :D But this time I managed to make it look nice.

So. Halloween is coming. It seems like I should have an excuse to do some extreme make up with SFX effects. We'll see...

Oh. And I am now in my natural haircolor. And now I remember why I dye it - I look so... mild. So I will be dyeing it soon again.

Black and gold

Hello there.
We had a photoshoot with my friends, mainly about corsets. I was so slow with making my make ups, mainly because of my migraines (need new glasses again, damnit). But I was happy with these results, even though they were quite simple.

 So I used some Isadora eye pencil to make the black wing as it is really dreamy to blend to other colors, and it is an easy way to make a dramatic look. Then I used some Shiro cosmetics gold, You dropped your rod and some Inglot's gold pigment.

It was dark. DARK. Finland is already too dark for any pictures and gah. But gold looks just awesome on this model.

I was just very afraid that my model's skin would get pissed, as she has got even more dry skin that I have. But it seems like she survived.

Oh hi I am alive

So.

Remember my last post when I was feeling better? I was. For a day. Some weird virus hit me like a wrecking ball (eehehee) and raised nice fever etc etc, and even my breath was whining oddly. I was like "Nooo I'll be just fine in few days.

Quess what chicken butt. Nope.

It went on for weeks, and I had to go to the doctor. They took some pics of my lungs and I was kinda terrified, and wanted just go to home and sleep more. I slept about 10-12 hours every night then! And that is the reason I have been this silent - I really haven't done any makeups for a while. Now I am starting again, but I am still a bit drained from the virus.

But oh well, I'm alive. There will be looks.

Aaaand I busted my knee again. It seems like it does not want to get healthy again. And all I will say to my knee right now is: Mene roskiin polvi.

Damn you flu!

I had this massive flu-kinda thing for a couple of weeks... First I got a small fever with some soreness in my throat, but it went away in a day. Then, suddenly out of nowhere week after that it hit back and hard. 

I had a nice fever, my breath was whining, everything sucked and I did not really eat that much. Just laid in my bed, trying to sleep etc. Well for one day I though I was feeling well, and tried my new wig and my new eyeshadow palette from Sleek, bad girl.

It is not pure black as it has some dark brown parts in it, but it makes it look more natural. I haven't really edited it yet, maybe soon.
I love my new Sleek palette. Actually I love it so much I ordered Sleek Acid palette too... whoops. But hey, I can't really have too much make up in my boxes ;) The colors are very, very pigmented and easy to apply and blend. I have only tried the purples from it right now, but I'll test them all soon, and put some swatches in here.

And as you know, I have an endless hair crisis. Now I have decided not to color my hair for a while, letting the natural strawberry blonde grow for a while. I will go to a hairdresser to color it dark red, but not for a while. And I decided to grow my hair again as it seems a lot healthier than earlier.

The camera really does not show the real color, but it is getting close to my own. Maybe a bit lighter, though, but it's okay. I am feeling very uncomfortable with my own hair pushing trough, but I can handle it. I'll let my hair rest for a while, it needs it.

I am happy I can go out of my home again. I was going stir crazy as I haven't been out for almost a week.

Red

You all know how everyone warns about red and blue eyeshadows, right? Red makes your eyes look ill and sore, and blue makes you look tacky. Well, if you use them wrong they do make those effects. So I decided to try them. I tried red first - it became more pinkish red that I was thinking about but hey, at least I have a reason to try a more neutral red eyeshadow soon.

I actually liked the result more that I thought I would like. It is even more dramatic in real life, in this it does not look so wild. This inspires me to try some very, very colorful eyeshadows soon. Maybe playing more with a liner, perhaps?
I used my Coastal scents palette and some Grimas eyeshadows, Rimmel's eyeliner and Isadora's kohl. I still need to try to do my eyebrows better. I am thinking about plucking the ends off again and rising them a bit.

Red does not make your eyes look bloodshot and sore if you use a vibrant red bravely. If it is a dull red it will really look bad - so with reds it is actually better to put it on very brightly. Too bad it clashes almost always with my hair - luckily I ordered a black wig.

I realised that the color was almost identical with my hat/hairband thing I bought when I learned I got a job in my ex working place, Bijou Brigitte. The hat is actually from there :D And either my hair needs a cut or I need to grow it, dunno yet which I will do.

And here you go, some bad posing pics from my cellphone. I wonder how I manage to take better selfies with a cellphone than with my camera. Damnit.

Pale skin and make up

Hello there. I am not dead, I am alive and kicking – I have been a bit busy lately and haven't had really time to update or put some make up on.

But today I am talking about a thing that I feel like talking about – about a very, very pale skin and makeup.

My skin has always been tricky one. It is dry as a damn desert and when I stress it breaks out. So I can't just grab the first foundation I find in a shop, though I could not do it even if it was not so dry. I am very confused that we don't really have very light foundations in Finland, even though it's a northern country and people here can be very pale, including me. And as a pale person I really like to have foundation as my skin shows all pimples and everything you would not want to show.

I have heard even some make up artists just say that I should use a bit darker foundation to look healthy. I disagree strongly. Natural paleness does not make you look ill – wrong colors paired with it makes and being ill. I avoid going to a professional make up artist I have faced too many not-so-pretty ending results as they just put the lightest foundation they find on my skin, even though it is always way too dark for me. I had to once go trough the whole city with a spotted, discolored with foundation face. And believe me, people stared. A wrong colored make up base is a horrible thing – too light or too dark. You would not put shop's lightest foundation on a tanned person who just got back from south? No.

Maybelline has this Fit me foundation that people said fit to a very pale person's skin, so I went to try it on. I kinda wanted to cry as it was again way too dark for me. It seems like I can't win. I used to put some Stargazer white foundation into a normal foundation to make it lighter, but it did not really work as well as I hoped for. But the foundation really was nicely pale, I have to say that. My paleness is just on a scale of ”holy shit is she even alive?”.

I was again very disappointed, as I was starting to like to put more make up on. Then I started to look around, if I could find something from the internet.

I found Lily Lolo mineral foundation first, and ordered it. It was perfect – it blended in prettily. But if you wanted to do a more dramatic make up it would not fit it so well – it was not that covering, and especially with bad skindays it was not enough.

Then I found Illamasqua. Again, a perfect shade, but a bit too expensive (around 40 euros) and it made my dry skin go even more dry, even when I mixed it with some lotion. So again, hit and miss. Damn my dry and irritating skin.

Then I went to look around Grimas, as I heard someone saying that their ”gothic” light color was pale enough for goths to use instead of a pure white. I went to Punanaamio, asking for a small sample that I could put on my jawbone. And tadah, perfect! And the price was wonderful too, only 12 euros! The consistency is so thick that I still put some lotion in it, but it has worked wonders.

For pale people I can recommend Illamasqua, Lily Lolo, Maybelline's fit me and Grimas's foundations.

Enter some herpderp pics. See my hand's redness : D Snow White pics by RR and selfie by me.

I know that many dark skinned has the same problem as I have – finding a good foundation is a pain in the ass. But Illamasqua has some amazing dark foundations. They are expensive though. I hope that someday there would be a wider collection of colours in foundations – because there is a wide scale of beautiful skin colors, from light to dark. If I someday somehow make my own make up brand, I would want it to have as many foundation colors as possible.

See ya soon again!

My "normal" look

I don't really use so much makeup in weekdays. Just some basic things. Now I might use a bit more skin products as my skin is again being an ass, but yeah.

This is my casual worklook, and sometimes I won't even use eyeshadow with eyeliner. And sometimes I even leave the down lid liner out, but I always have my winged eyeliners on. No wonder my eyeliners tend to end so fast...

So I put just dark color in the crease to "raise" my eyelids as I have heavy eyelids and deep set eyes. An every make up hobbyist's nightmare. But I have learnt to work with them. Nowadays I actually kinda like my eyes.
And see, some light freckles!

Shiro Cosmetics Review!

So here it finally is, though not fully as I have managed to lose my Hearts one...

I found Shiro Cosmetics accidentally when I was surfing online. I had wanted to buy from there for ages, but never really managed to. But then I finally bought something and I was totally sold. My best friend bought me a set of makeup from Shiro cosmetics for my birthday, so my collection just keeps getting bigger!

Here my babies are (it's missing Hearts. Where could it be O__O). I was very happy with the quality for all of them, and the names are just hilarious in some of them. And the colors... whoa.

I put eyeshadows on the NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk and well just slapped intertubes on my skin. I used the inner side of my arm as it is the softest skin I have (I have a very dry skin).

Why not Zoidberg?: A beautiful summer color. It was actually colder and redder on my skin than on the picture in the site, but it does not bother me. Easy shade to use every day.

Sad Keanu: A reddish, dark purple. This looks very nice on lips too, but you need definitely a mirror applying it. With some lipliner I think it would be stunning.

Diamonds!: A very bright, light teal. Not a color I would use on myself but I have couple of people in my mind who would rock this.

Snake: A bright chartreuse/lemon/lime. It is actually more yellow than I thought, but paired with green it gets a nice lime hue. Very, very bright!

Beyond the fence: A dark, foresty green with gold in it. This is like it is created for my eyecolor - it makes the small amount of green pop. One of my "trustful" eyeshadows nowadays.

You dropped your rod: A blackened gold. Goes beautifully with Beyond the fence.

Lingered in twilight: A blackened emerald/Teal. Damn I drooled when I saw this. This looks amazing if you have blue or blue green eyes! Best base for it would be NYX Jumbo pencil in Black Bean, or some dark teal.

Majora's mask: A darkish lavender with rainbow sparkles. It is hard to capture it's beauty on a photo, it looks amazing in real life.

Evolve: Bright royal blue. A blue I have been hunting with cats and dogs.

Little brother: Shiny silver. I have noticed I don't really own any grey/silver eyeshadows, so I had to fix the situation. This is very metallic.



Alkahestry: A vibrant lavender with turquoise sparkles. Would look purely amazing on very pale blue eyes.

Farore's wind: Mid toned teal. This one surprised me! It is very light in the jar, but on skin it gets this dark grey hue, making it look mystical.

Steve.: Bright teal. I should try this as a liner sometimes...

-

Gosh, that was a long post. More reviews coming soon!

Green gold

Heya again.

So, I wanted to put some more make up for work as I have really just put on some eyeliner for a while, I really have not been in a mood to do a make up. My stress level is at the ceiling and my skin is showing it - finally when it started to be normal again it broke out with cute stress pimples and flaked badly with dryness. I can never win.

But hey, I have finally found a face washing product that does not make my skin want to walk away - Lush's Coalface. It looks so rad as it is a black soap and makes darkish grey foam, but it works very well on my skin. It is the only one that has worked at all - all the other ones just makes my skin very pissed off. Even now when my stress shows on my skin Coalface helps a lot. I actually like their other stuff too, but I usually forget to visit the shop :D Now I have Porridge and Coalface on my shelf. The salesperson was so kind when she gave me samples of Fresh pharmacy and Coalface when I explained my skin situation - thank you if you ever read this!

So here you go. I used some trustful moss greens and some golden. And the only black thing in this make up is actually the mascara - the liner is beautiful foresty green from GOSH. Xtreme liner was the name I think? They don't sell them anymore, which is a pity as they are very, very good and comes off only with waterproof make up remover, but easily. They had very beautiful colors - too bad I lost my lagoon teal colored one years ago.

I used NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk as a base, and the inner corner is H&M eyeshadow, middle gold is Shiro Cosmetics You dropped your rod and the green in the outer corners is Beyond the fence from Shiro Cosmetics too. Seems like I have found my favourite eyeshadow brand... And as you can see, the light was not my friend today. It never really is as I burn easily, haha.

Green goes with my eyes and hair very well - it always makes my eyes look very green (they are pure grey with some green in the middle) and my hair look even redder than it is. I have thought of returning to my natural golden red color but naw, it may be a bit too bland for my mostly black closet and bright messes I slap on my face. Oh and look, freckles! I don't really get freckles on my face, but for some reason my legs are always covered in them.

And here is a better pic of my hair nowadays. I actually like this pixie cut more than I thought I would like - I was scared I would be sad of losing my hair and stuff like that. I was even afraid I would look a bit too masculine, but wow. Many people has said I look like a fairy or a pixie myself now : D And now everyone is just ruffling my hair around always... And man, this is one easy hairdo to take care of. And now my hair can grow healthier! Though I may not grow it for a while. This is the best thing that has happened to my hair, even better than the earlier one when I got it.

But yeah, nothing more to say. See ya later!

Helsinki Pride 2014

So you want some excuses to make a bright rainbow make up? Then you should go to the pride! I was not there last year, but this year I promised to meet some people and well, the equal marriage law did not pass yet in Finland so I had more reasons to go to the pride. I saw so many beautiful shows and even one proposal on stage!

So here is my makeup. It is not the best I have made but it was not the main thing in the pride so who cares :D And I actually went to cut my hair! I got a pixie cut as you can see, and when I saw myself in a mirror I loved the hair right away. A friend of a friend said that I look like a fairy with this hair :D And this is easy as hell to make look awesome.

I used my Sugarpill palette, some blue and green from my Coastal scents 88 palette, Maybelline's blue mascara etc. I have to buy a nice eyebrow palette for my brows... it is hard to find one for redhaired people though. I don't want brown brows with my red hair. Sniffle. And my lower lashes are pain in the ass, they bend everywhere and well there aren't many of them. Damn you lashes.

My skin has calmed down a little, and I am very happy for it. Now it is mostly back to normal - dry as hell without pimples. And so pale that I always joke I glow in the dark...
My knee is a nuisance right now, I can't go to the gym but I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning. Let's hope they find something that is fixable!

Blackened teal

So, RR decided to stay overnight, and I have wanted to try a dark teal look for her. She has blue eyes and skin made for beautiful teal colors so I took a chance and I was so happy for the result as was RR herself!

 She had actually her new black lipstick from Viva La Diva with her, so we tried to match the eyes and black lips together, and it turned out to be just plain awesome. The black lipstick was RR's idea I think :D

I used some NYX Jumbo pencil in Black bean to make a sticky base, Fyrinnae's Hypercool and Shiro Cosmetics's Lingered in Twilight. I have a small problems with the Fyrinnae's eyeshadow pots as I am a massive clutz and I kinda accidentally messed my matress :'D But I have to say that Hypercool is damn pigmented as it was a hell to try to get off from the matress, haha. I used Hypercool in the corners of the eyes and the Lingered in Twilight in the middle of the lid. They are very similar in colour but Shiro's has some more emerald sparkles in it.

I love how the colours made RR's eyes even more blue! I was so happy I made this look for her, now I wanna make more dramatic eyeshadows for her *___*
Okay, I'll go drool over my sink now, ba bai~

Midsummer and a small Shiro Cosmetics Intertube review!

Midsummers party is here! 8D
Well, kinda. I am sitting with RR here and well, sitting.
But hey, I put some makeup on! Yay! I got my birthday present from RR, she ordered some cosmetics from Shiro Cosmetics to me and I have tried them only a bit on my face, but now I have to introduce my new favourite thing: Sad Keanu intertube!

It is actually very reddish purple at least on my lips, which is just great as I tend to carry warm colors better (RR is more cold color person). The color is very rich and the intertube feels so good on my lips, like it is a great lipbalm. It smells a bit like blackcurrant but not much - though my nose is clogged from allergies right now.
The idea and the balm itself are great!

And here is my makeup for the day! Blue, purple, blue and did I say blue? And yeah, I am back to the red haircolor, I think permanently. I am thinking of getting a haircut soon and trying then to grow it.

Nothing else to say right now, but I am getting a new tattoo at monday from the amazing Merrimentti! I am so excited!
