LOTD ~ Love You Like a Purple

This look was mostly inspired by BeatFaceHoney's version of Love You Like a Love Song video look by Selena Gomez. I've been meaning to do a look by the video for ages but today I thought I'd give it a go.

I'm sorry but the pictures aren't great. Still trying to figure out which settings give out nicest photos when I have no daylight to use. I need a new flash at least to get the flash centered instead on a side.

But enough about technicalities - here's the look:




Eyes:
UDPP/MAC Painterly Paint Pot
Wet n Wild Lust palette
MAC Vanilla e/s
Inglot gel liner in #77
Urban Decay Perversion e/s
Hi-Fi Cosmetics Rich Man's War glitter
Dior Blackout Waterproof mascara

Lips:
Rimmel Nude Delight l/s
MAC St Germain l/s

Face:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 51 (light vanilla)
Mschic by Seppälä pressed powder
Mschic by Seppälä Face Illuminizer
Mschic Skunkmiracle
Evil Shades Cosmetics blush in Ravishing

I forgot to tell you in last post about my UK shopping. I had big plans - turned out that I had to run through Boots and figure out what I needed to buy instead of what I might want. So in the end I only bought two Batiste dry shampoos (which were my must haves), Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and Barry M nail polish (Peach Melba which I'm wearing now). I had NO time whatsoever to shop around, bought even my daughter's souvenir at the airport. At least my boyfriend moved here and I'm not going to move anywhere anytime soon. Dragging three 20kg bags from Cambridge to Espoo wasn't fun.

I've been home with my daughter for few days now - she seems to have laryngitis, her voice is amazingly weird. Hopefully she can go to school tomorrow so I can get to work.

LOTD ~ Metallic Brown Smoke

Back in Finland - been for few days - but I fear there will be less posts for probably next few weeks. My boyfriend lives here now and we have to share same computer plus I start to work full days which means no daylight for me to shoot my looks in. Also my weekends seem to be filling themselves so not much free time left for me anymore.

But this is the look I wore yesterday when we did some shopping.





I used Sleek Storm palette for the eyes.

I really hope our electricity stays up since there's storm outside and people are suffering from powercuts.

Hope all of your week starts well and I hope I will be back to normal blogging schedule asap!

LOTD & NOTD ~ Glamour

Well not really. Just really simple make up with WnW's Vanity palette and the nails were done with a help of Glamour magazine.





And yeah, nails are fail but I wanted to try for the first time trying to transfer ink to nails. I just mostly got the paper ripped/attached to nail. But here you go - bad mani.


Sorry took pics when I hadn't cleaned the cuticles. But I will take this mani off today - even if I sort of like it - from distance. I just don't want to have this visible mani on my nails when it starts to chip while I'm abroad. Well hopefully abroad. Heathrow is having some drama again and I'm never sure if I actually make it to UK when I leave the flat in the middle of the night. Yeah, I have to wake up at 4am to get 5:15am bus to airport so I can catch my 7:50am flight. Early night today for me.

But this all means I will be quiet for few days.

LOTD ~ Alice Cullen

MakeupGeek is having a Twilight Saga weekly challenge and I thought why not. Never seen movies and never read books but I've seen enough pictures of the movies/posters. So this was inspired by Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) in New Moon poster.




And lastly - what if I had yellow eyes?


I dig yellowish brown eyes.

Eyes are done with Sleek Storm palette.

I've been cleaning up yesterday and tomorrow been throwing out stuff from my room and 5 bags later I'm still not finished. Who has this much stuff? And I mean stuff that you don't even need. I have a lot of clothes I don't wear so might start to throw them out too instead of selling them since it's too much of a hassle to put them up for auction.

LOTD ~ Fierce

I don't know in the end how fierce this look is but I like it. It's so me!





Make up was done with Wet'n'Wild Lust palette, Inglot gel liner in #77, Evil Shades Cosmetics blush in Ravishing, Rimmel's Nude Delight lipstick and on top of it I have Hi-Fi Cosmetics' Spotlight Lipglaze in Corrode.

LOTD ~ Vain at Work

Vanity palette at work again - I suck at naming some of my looks, like that is just bad.

Anyway did this look with the 3 matte shades from the WnW palette.





I think it looked prettier irl. And the red on my neck is done by my cat - I had to cut its nails. Also the cat scared the hell out of me last night. All of a sudden it jumped off my bed and went under my bed -which it never does - and when it finally came out it was miaowing really weirdly, walked few steps and then went to lay on its side. After a while it got up, walked again few steps and went on its other side. Then it buggered off somewhere and I thought I'm gonna see it in the morning. It seemed better in the morning and now it's begging for food again. I hope it was just some tiny stomach/bowel problems and it's sorted now.

And important notice - my holiday started! I'm going to UK for few days on Tuesday and getting my boyfriend finally to Finland after that. Good luck to him after living so many years alone and then having to get used to me and my daughter being around all the time :D

You all have great weekends!

LOTD ~ Colourful Leaves

Another autumn leaves look. There are no leaves left in Finland which means there's not many bright colours outside either - at least I was looking bright-eyed (lids only) today.









Pics taken after workday. For eyes I pretty much just used my 96 palette and on lips some lipliners with gloss on top. Not too pleased with this make up but then again only took me 20mins.

LOTD ~ Forest Greens

I was inspired by MissChievous' forest green look. Of course I didn't have same eyeshadows but I wanted to get darker green eyes. I also didn't replicate the look as much as I could but instead put a touch of me into it. This is the result:





Honestly I can't remember what I used for this but I bet the greens were from Wet n Wild's Cool as a cucumber -trio and Sleek's either palette.

Yeah I've been lazy lately, this was my weekend look so it tells how much I'm behind. I haven't taken any pics of my makeup for past few days and thought about trying to get the flash to work on me tomorrow or so - then I hopefully can put up more pics since I hate the flash and it always washes out everything so I need to work with it.

Doctor's appointment tomorrow. Making her check my ears too that have been hurting for a week. Also discussing about the neck problems and what to do in the future. I'm so tired of being ill somehow - I just hope neck gets back to normal soon and I don't develop some nasty cold.

LOTD ~ Charred

I went to do some shopping with my sister. Well she wanted to go do some shopping and I tagged along. But I managed to find something for myself too. But before I show you my new love I will show you my today's look.





Look done with Wet n Wild Vanity palette and H2O liquid liner plus matte black from Sleek.

And then my new love: Poizen Industries Faith coat! It was half price which ended up costing just below 50€. Made from fleece not really a winter coat in Finland but will manage going out with it for few more weeks.


Size M is a bit snug from boobs but otherwise it fits just fine. I also bought a stud ring but that isn't really worth of showing after this coat.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
