Birthday Giveaway!

So yes, getting older so thought I'm giving out a gift instead of receiving one.

The prize... Honestly no idea yet. It will include at least konad stamper set, some nail polishes and anything I can get my hands on that I think will fit into it. I will buy most of the giveaway stuff from UK and since I'm not there yet can't tell what's going to be in it but something that I like. Also if shopping spree hits me - like I could avoid it - there might be more prizes than just one.

If I have time I can give you sneak peaks of the prizes during the few weeks this is open.

And to the rules...

This giveaway is open to everyone on the planet of Earth.
The giveaway ends at 23:59 on May 9th. I will choose the winner on the evening of May 10th when I get home from work.

LOTD ~ Aerochic and NOTD ~ Lemon Meringue

So yes, going to fly today. Cramped into an EasyJet for 3h. Not the nicest form of travel but definitely a fast one. So my travel is from Espoo to Cambridge. Will leave in an hour and will be in Cambridge around 11pm to 12am GMT. Loooong day ahead of me.

Stupid me packed all my make up brushes and most of my eyeshadows I use to bag before thinking I might need them today. So had to work with what I got. Used Gosh's quattro eyeshadow palette in Platinum, Wetnwild Mega Liner in Silvermatic and some old Oriflame blush in Crush.

Also wanted to accessorise a bit so added my skull earrings, necklace and bracelet.

Nails are painted with Models Own Lemon Meringue.

Last minute panic! Do I have everything packed?!

LOTD ~ Friday with green eye make up and orange hair

My yesterday's look to work was quite simple with Gosh's quattro eyeshadow palette in Evergreen. I also dyed my hair Thursday evening so wanted to show them off more than my make up. And people did notice - even men at work - that my hair were lighter and brighter than day before.

Last pic shows my current hair colour better than the first one. It's really light copper.

Off to UK.

So I will be off for a week. I might update something if I find the time and energy but if not I will be back 2nd May.

Oh and I might put up a small giveaway due to my birthday being next week. ;)

You all have a great week!

LOTD ~ Cannot Speak

Hi-Fi Cosmetics looks continue. Today I used Things that cannot speak (for lid), Kiss in the sand (crease) and Celebrated victim (highlight).

I really like all of these colours, they seem to have nice coverage and especially Things that cannot speak isn't too shimmery.

LOTD ~ Decadent and Desperate

Continuing to browse through the Hi-Fi eyeshadows I bought and today was for Decadence which is really great gold. Used the same eyeshadow style that I used for yesterday too. Instead of UD's Perversion I used Oil Slick today to get a bit more shiney black.

And the desperate part: I should be flying to UK on Saturday but we'll see if Finland ever opens up the airspace. Don't want to be at home for my b-day when I could be spending it with my bf. I've even checked that I can move my holidays if needed or my flight ticket changed to some other day. Just have to hope.

NOTD ~ Gunmetal

This is again one of the nail polishes I bought from Phyrra. UD Gunmetal is kinda brown-silvery shimmer. It looks darker in certain light but quite brown in natural light. Like it since it isn't too harsh colour to wear to work - like black would - and it's a bit different since people don't really wear brown nail polishes.

I only have 2 coats of it on.

LOTD ~ Cyanide

I thought of using The Cyanide You Drank from Hi-Fi Cosmetics I received on Friday.

I really like the colour but for some weird reason it didn't stick to my other lid as well as to other. Need to try with some other primer or try to order the Pixie Epoxy so it might stick better to that. Luckily it wasn't too visible during the day.

I also used Perversion from UD.

Hi-Fi Cosmetics order.

I got a really nice surprise when I got back from cruise today: my Hi-Fi Cosmetics order had arrived. I used their order 3 pay for 2 offer so I bought 3 eyeshadows and 3 lip glazes.

Shadows in 

Things that cannot speak - "a deep magenta hue with lots of fuschia and indigo glitters"

Decadence - "as gold as gold can be"

The cyanide you drank - "a vivid acid green with golden sheen and plenty of sparkle"

Lip glazes in
Corrode - "a multi-tonal pearl"
Got the Life - "a shimmering fuschia with lots of pink sparkle"
Cold As Ice - "a shimmery sky blue duochrome with a hint of silver shimmer"

I swatched the lip glazes quickly but the colours are a bit off, were more showing irl. Especially Corrode was quite pearly white.

And I got some nice samples to try out.
Shadows in Kiss in the sand, Celebrated Victim and Psycho Mind plus lip glaze in Immoral.

NOTD ~ Tahiti Breeze

This was one of the nail polishes I bought from Phyrra. It's Tahiti Breeze from SinfulColors. Really weird colour to discribe: golden with pink and it changes the colour depending on light and angle. Kinda like it. Quite neutral but still showing enough.

LOTD ~ Vorpal Mushroom in an Oil Slick

Another UD AIW make up today using Vorpal, Mushroom and Jabberwocky (Oil slick).

Peter Steele dead? What a crappy day...

So yes, I just came home and read the news. Seems like this time around it's not fake like in 2005.

Can't say much, still waiting for announcement to Type O Negative's site. I prefer their older albums so haven't been listening their new stuff, only saw them few years ago live.

Didn't expect this to happen...

R.I.P. Peter Steele

 

2 looks from yesterday ~ Grey Alice and Kamelot

I did two looks for yesterday: one for work and one for Leaves' Eyes/Kamelot gig I went to later on. For both I used only UD AIW.

Work look with Alice, Jabberwocky, Mushroom and Vorpal.

Kamelot look was inspired by their Karma album cover that looks like this:

For the look I used Underland, Jabberwocky and Oraculum to get the purple, black and golden(ish) look.

LOTD ~ Lost in the Wonderland

I used pretty much all the brown/copper/peachy colours I could find from UD's AIW. Wanted to do some quick make up that still wasn't too boringly nude.

Drink Me, Eat Me - highlighter
Mad Hatter - crease
Muchness - lid
Chessur - blending crease upwards

I think that was it, didn't really kept track, just used what I thought I could pull off.

LOTD ~ Emerald and Purple Rain

Thought I could use my Gosh effect powders for today's look so I picked up Purple Rain and Emerald. Used both first wet and then dry on top of it.

Sorry for the towel

And I bet I find the glitters for next few days at least. Purple Rain does have a lot of glitter and it loves to fly around.

Eyes:
Gosh Effect Powder in Purple Rain
Gosh Effect Powder in Emerald
Gosh Glamorous Eye Shadow in Beige

MUG Lady Gaga inspired contest entry

I didn't want to do any normal Lady Gaga make up so I took the photoshoot she did for Hello Kitty's 35th birthday as an inspiration.
