"No excuses"-eyeliner + BOY london cap

HELLO!

I am back, after having not had time to blog for ages! I am so sorry, I've been busy and down, put I have some time this weekend to post something, so I am taking the chance! 

This time I will push the reviews aside, because I feel that recently it's all I do. 

I got an idea that popped up in my head when my girlfriends started complaining about how they just can't change their everyday-looks, and I went "huh?"

Power of makeup girls! Just something as simple as different eyeliner makes a whole new person (in my opinion), and it can tone up and tone down your look, and make it new! 

I will be giving you, all my girlfriends, and every girl who ever thought their everyday look was boring some ideas on how to spice up your look! Here are 7 ways to do easy, fast and everyday-friendly styles of eyeliner! 

Here's my eye with nothing: Very boring, small and I have the average scandinavian eye and eyeshape. Booh! 

By the way, the quality of these pictures are NOT very well, but I hope you can bear with me. It was super hard to flash my eyes way up close, so I had to crop the pictures a lot. Truely sorry! ♥ 

Let's get on some eyeliner! 

#1 "The basic line"

Pale no-mascara lashes hahah ~ This line is the basic and probably most used line. Simply just line your eyes as close to your lashes as possible! It's basic and the quickest, and opens your eyes and adds some focus and depth. 

#2 Cat-eyes 

Very quick as well. Super easy with an angled eyeliner brush, but hard to get even on both eyes. Takes a little practise the first times, but looks lovely on almost all eyeshapes. You can make the line smaller or longer depending on what you wear and your eyeshadow. I love this eyeliner with red tinted lips! 

#3 "Lower lashes"

To spice this up even more add some colour in the "hole" between the lines! It makes your eyes big and lively, and drags a lot of attention in the daily life! Using a brush it's not hard to master. 

#4 Egypt eye

Cat eye, egypt eye, arabic eye. This style has many names. It's cool and stylish, and makes your eyes deepset and gives them a boom of attention! This type changes the eyeshape the most in my opinion. It looks pretty and excotic with some red/yellow/orange eyeshadow colours as well, and it's even better for the tan people, or brown eyes! 

#5 Dragged downwards

I think this is also called "tired eyes". It can give you the puppy eye effect, and can be worn very cute. Looks great with a pair of falsies applied at the end too, that will really give the puppy eyes effect! 

#6 "Ulzzang"-inspired puppy eyes 

This is the base-eyeliner for when I make my usual ulzzang-inspired look. It's very thick and heavy, but add some sparkle/shimmer or highlight and you quickly will make everyone go "awww". And it takes only five minutes! 

#7 Winged eyeliner

Similar to the cat-eye, but instead of going upwards, it's more "straightened out". It's super everyday-friendly and adorable. Can be even more simple by making the line less thick or the wing shorter. 

So that's it! Now you will not have have any excuse for showing up with the same look every single day, right? Go ahead and try something new! Whether it's your eyeliner, a new lipstick or a blush, don't look the same everyday! 

Also, I just recieved my BOY london hat, so I will shortly show off/review it, because I am so happy about it!

I love BOY londons collections, and I love the brand. They make the most awesome clothing! I finally recieved my cap from Ebay, and the quality is top despite the price being so low! Inside the cap the BOY london cap is printed all over, and it's unisex size, hence a little big for my small head. 

It's a simple cap with the letters "BOY" all across it, and underneath the cap, it says "GIRL". Total love! Comes in several colours, but most "famous" in black and white (this is the white version). 

So are you a BOY? 

Or a GIRL?

That's all for this entry. Stay tuned, pinky promise I will be more active!

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Review x 2

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posting. 

But I for once have a valid excuse other than my lazyness, because not only did I work really hard on this review - the whole weekend I fought intensevly with a virus on my pc! Not before today I got a friend to help me, so super much thank you to Steven! I owe him! But my PC is finally up and works properly again. 

Now I am here with not one, but two reviews! I will be reviewing Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in the orange and red tint. You have seen my orange tint from my korean haul. I recieved my red tint too late, hence I didn't have it yet! 

Let's get to the review, right? 

Etude House Fresh Chery Tint in red and orange:

Orange: 

(Quite obviously taken at two different times haha) 

And the two babies: 

Orange:

Red: 

Effectivity & Colour: 

Orange:✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ Red: ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

The orange works wonders, no doubt. It makes your lips pop, it's shiny and cute, and perfect for pouty lips. But the colour makes me so unsatisified. There is barely any colour at all, especially compared to the red one. Maybe it's just my naturel colour of my lips, but the colour is really sensitive. You need to bring your tint in your purse. It is not water, food, or kissing-resistant! 

However, the red tint has amazing colour! Very sharp and dolly, and very resistant. Actually be a little careful, because it almost staints your skin. I showered, brushed my teeth and slept, and the day after it was still there! 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦  ✧

Very cheap, but also no colour. Will not repurchase in this orange, but possible in red or another colour. A nice amount of product in the container. 

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I like it. It's a articifial candy-smell, it's quite strong, but it will fade out eventually. I like!

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know what tint is "supposed" to feel like, but I like the texture a lot. Non-sticky. Non-watery. And not thick at all. The texture is "soft" as I would describe it. Very nice to wear on the lips. It's also not as drying!

Design/Packaging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Etude House - you never fail at cute packaging. Never. I even keep the packages I recieved them in, because I love the small little cherries and the pink box, it's too cute to throw away! The bottle itself has soft curves and its beautifully shaped, cute designed. 

With the orange tint I created a summery naturel look, which is kinda fun and sweet, and all over innocent. It's sheer, almost nude, and fits many colours!

With the red one I made a sexy, adult look! Can you see how I go from my ordinary age to like 20+? Power of makeup!

Which one is your prefered look? Stay tuned and enjoy november!

Wishlist: Things I want, but can't afford ~

Hi there. 

Thought I stopped blogging? Sorry about the lack! And especially lack of quality posts.. The world of me is just rambling all together right now. I stress about:

- school, work, parents, fitness and just the daily challenges
- Being horribly sick with a bad cold + getting a psycho liprash. 
- Other private stuff
- My PC messing up (lost a lot of important things rebooting it, it unistalled xiuxiue meitu which I use for my blog-pictures, skype, google chrome and everything else.) 

So, I am truely sorry but I am currently in a state where I can only deliver 1-2 posts a week. Again, truely sorry! I hope times will change and I have a chance of blogging more often again. We will see. 

This time, I will share my currently wishlist with you guys! These products are mainly products I really want, but cannot afford - so, of course, I wish for them! 

So before I start, I will confess one thing: I. Am. A. Brandwhore. Expensive, luxury brands means so much to me. It's kinda embarassing to admit, but I know I am not alone about the guilt! Alright, let's start:

#1

Urban Dekay Naked Palette 1 and 2

I've been loving these for quite some time. The naturel warm colours are beyond gorgeous. I tried the eyeshadows when I went to Sephora in Paris, and the quality is lovely. Even the brushes are so good! Want! 

#2

Clarisonic Brush in pink

I love these kind of electric brushes. This is their face and body brush in pink, and I want it so bad. It's bigger and better than the one I already have, which is a cheap facial brush only. But, it's so expensive too, it's more than 1/3 of my monthly salary! (I only work part-time). Maybe someday I will have it in my hands!

#3

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine in "Pink in Paris"

 

Perfect shade, perfect design, perfect brand, perfect lipstick.

#4

M·A·C Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow from the "Archie's Girls" Collection

These colours are beyond adorable. And I'm secretly a fan of Archie's girls... I love Betty the most! 

#5

LANCÔME Blush Subtil Rouge 

 Really adorable and beautiful pink blush. Definitely a must have! 

#6

Too Faced Shadow Brushes 

because I already own their big powder brush, which looks exactly like them. I love their whole "teddy bear" colletion, because the quality is so high, and the design is awfully cute! It's really pricey though. 

That's all for this time! Do you like or wish for any of these items above? What does your wishlist look like? 

Halloween Costume - "Nerd"

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Halloween is just around the corner (okay, it's tomorrow).

I do not celebrate halloween in my country, hence I don't buy costumes, dress up, etc. 

But, I still decided to do just one, simple and easy no-need-to-buy-extras costume. 

So go from your daily you (which in today's case was boring. Forgive me!)

To a "nerd": 

*Mind* control. Reading the dictionary!

The reason why I am putting " around "nerd" is because I don't want to offend anyone. When I say "nerd" we all kind of think of typical American movies where they show this ultra'nerdy' boy/girl with huge, brokren glasses, brace, pimples, "nerdy" clothes and hair tucked back with wax. The imagine of a hardworking but boring student, who has books on their mind. NOTHING is wrong with that, it's just a parody of those typical movies. Nothing is wrong with having pimples (I do have that), brace (used to have that), some specific clothes, have your hair a certain way, or love books. It's okay to be you. Make sure to have a fun and safe time on halloween! 

I put dark blue and brown shadow under my eyes to give them that "I studied all night long"-look, plus red eyeshadow in the corners for a seeming red eye from all the reading. I added red 'pimples', a mesy eyebrow look (because a "nerd" wouldn't pluck their brows) and split my hairline in half right in the middle, and pulled it back in a ponytail. Don't forget the nerdy glasses! 

Those glasses are my actual glasses, because I'm as blind as a bat with minus 2.50 in both eyes. I also wore some "innocent" and unflattering clothes. "Nerds" don't show cleavage, wheather they have one or not! (It's a 'not' in my case...)

Have a happy Halloween tomorrow! ~

Review: Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss Strawberry Latte

Hey ~~

Here I am with another lip-review from the korean haul, this time an Etude House review! 

I'll be reviewing the Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss in Strawberry Latte (such a long name!).

Close-up:

About the product: 

Etude House released a jelly gloss too, and I have yet to try it. This one is the "milky" edition, comes in several colours, and an adorable design. There's quite a big amount of product, and it's also quite cheap. 

Alright, bare lips: Let's get glossy and pink! (Sorry about my bad skin)

*drumrolls* And with the lipgloss!Such full and shiny lips *_* Couldn't be bothered to edit the skin around my mouth-area as usual so... Deal with this, yo ♥ 

Flash-photo: I think, in this photo particulary, my lips look so dolly, full and healthy! I love this photo! 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's not very resistant. As soon as you drink, eat or even talk too much the lipgloss will disappear. But the colour is awfully cute, and really does remind me of a strawberry milkshake! I feel so much in love with the colour, it makes your lips pop, makes them bigger, makes them shine and make them cute. Reminds me of the Candydoll lipglosses from Tsubasa Masuwaka.   

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Lots of product, reasonable price. No complaints here!

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I love the smell, but I know someone is gonna hate it. It smells just like candy, very sweet and cute scent. But it loses a star for smelling a little artificial. 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't find this lipgloss sticky, unless you really go overboard with in. The texture is similar to the usual lipgloss, but when I swatched it, it got quite sticky, but on the lips I don't find it to be so. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Oh lord! *_* That's the reason I even bought it hahah ~ I love the design. The bottle is slim, but beautiful and looks like glass (it is plastic). The cute design is everything to me. And the bottle is transparent too, and makes it so much better! It's a little big, so it might not be very makeupbag-friendly, but 'she' will look absolutely beatiful whereever you keep 'her'! 

Cons: 

I can only think of two things. The smell - which only goes for some people, because I really like it.

And that you have to bring it and reapply throughout the day, because it will 'disappear' on your lips. Other than that, I love and adore this product. Good job, Etude!

Stay tuned for next review, lovelies! 

Tony Moly Lip Tint Review

Hi everyone ~

This will be the first out of my 6 korean items from my korean haul! 

This is the lip-tint from Tony Moly. 

Here are the items I recieved in the package: The product, and two very nice samples! Can especially not wait to try the Collagen Moistufull Cream from Etude House! 

I love collecting samples! That makes buying korean cosmetic even more a joy! 

And now to the product. 

It's already only half-filled when it's produced which is slightly strange. But there's still enough to quite a lot of times, and you can buy a bigger version too if you'd like. 

I think they full name might be: Tony Moly CatChu Wink Liptint? I'm not too sure, but it says so on the bottle, however when I purchased it from Ebay it was just named 'TonyMoly Liptint in Cherryred'. 

Alright let's test this! Here's my bare lips with only lapbalm on. They are pale, I don't have much upper-lip, but all over they are pretty normal and caucasian. 

I applied BBcream all over my lips to conceal them and make them seem smaller from further away. They look even more dead-pale now! I will make a gradient with the lip-tint, and hope for the best with the first tint I ever owned!

Blast. Of. Colour. WOW! This is applied but not blended yet. Almost looks bloody! But a very beautiful red. Alright let's make it a real gradient! *blend blend* *fix fix* (Don't mind my blurred out teeth. They looked horrid for some reason)

Finished result: Tadah! A very obvious and beautiful gradient in a cherry-pink/red colour. So what do I think in total? 

Effectivity: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

There is so much colour to this! Deep beautiful red, and so very perfect for gradiant. 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

It's so cheap it's almost free hahah ~ It IS a small bottle, but the price is just as small. Fair and cheap price for a product I really enjoy!

Smell: 

✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧

This is where I'm not a big fan. It smells exactly like your old magic markers. Very bad and toxic smell, but it doesn't last - after application it smells for a little while and then it does eventually faith out, so it's not a big problem - unless you really can't stand magic markers.

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ (Let's say it 2,5 stars) 

This is half and half. There's really nothing wrong with the texture, other than it's hard to control and apply in the right amounts. You easily apply too much because the texture is exactly like water. And it runs all over your fingers, and if you're clumsy then watch out for your clothing as well, because it will colour that too! 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ 

I like the design. Simple, small, cute! The bottle is very makeupbag-friendly, and the round shape is adorable and different. 

Cons: 

There's only one big con I can think of - it is very, no EXTREMELY drying on your poor lips! It literally sucks moist out haha ~ So be sure to have a lipbalm with you during the day wearing it, or you will suffer the pain of dry lips. But luckily it still does last after countless times of applying a balm over it, so even though it's not waterproof, it's still quite resisting. 

Last picture, with full face makeup and the gradiant lip. See how pigmented it is? (Phone-quality)

Stay tuned for more reviews! ♥
