Sparkleicious new year 2013!

Woah, wait WHAT? An ACTUAL POST?? Jeah, guys, I´m not dead yet. But let´s still start with something simple...

Opi - Sparkleicious

 Here is something I found actually a couple of months ago, but somehow it ended up never being used. For christmas I had China Glaze's Outta Bounds (the xmas green) and for some fast brainclimpse I tought I´d pair it with this glitter polish. And the result was awesome :3

From further away this looked really shinyyy~

Fyi, doing this post made me realize why I hate taking pictures in Finland :D Always too damn dark and nothing looks similar to the reality. Bleh. But I do have a LC review coming up in a few days^^

Meanwhile here is my awesome face. Or actually my camera and a dirty mirror.

okbye! Oh and have a happy new year 2013!

Tan-tan-TAA! Yesterday I finally received my Solestruck order *love* 

 Jeffrey Campbell Cleata - Black Iridescent

These shoes are the awesomest ever!! I could not find any pictures of these on the internet, so here you go; *dumps pictures*.

 I do apologise that my camera captured the green color a bit funnily, so the shoes look more turquoise than they really are. The color (with black socks underneath) is something like between green grass and petroleum~

As you can see the shoes look a bit different with white stuffing inside, so by changing your socks or going without them at all gives you a different color everytime! Whan a diverse pair of shoes! OMG I totally love these, hands down. And yes they cost me a fortune, so I better like them for a long time x)

 Can´ttttttt get enough of these!!!

 Jeffrey Campbell Lita style has these hot hot hot shoelaces :3

Anyone else thinking these are AWESOME???????!!!

Heart Braker

Whoops! What is blogging? I think I have forgotten about it! Erm... So what's up? First the excuses (skip to the pictures if you´re not interested in my babbling :D); six weeks ago I got myself a bicycle. I´ve already paddled 500 km with it. Five weeks ago I started working out in a gym, and have been working there 5-6 hours a week. So yes... kinda of chancing my lifestyle here. I still have been doing makeup and I have a TON of pictures in my phone and in my camera.. But I´ve just been too busy with everything else.

Oh and also I started taking classes for getting a drivers lincence for a motorcycle! *happy* Oh jeah, and on top of all that, my computer´s battery died. I did orded a new one, but the company sent me a wrong one and then when I tried to return it (ordered from Germany) the Post informed me that they cannot deliver it, because it´s a lithium battery, thus dangerous. What the hell?? So now I´m stuck with a wrong battery and no money for the right one ;_____;. So my computer is slow as hell and I barely even use it anymore, since I got an Ipad2 from work. Anyway, life is good. Enough with the excuses? xD

AND then onto the important part! ^^ I got Sugarpill´s Heart Breaker palette ages ago, and yes, also I´m totally in lööööv. I don´t bother on doing a review, because you can find a ton of them on the internet. Insanely bright colors and I love the palette, that´s it.

The Bright blue is Velocity, sea blue is Mochi and the lime green is Acidberry. Simple, huh? I have no idea where I went with this look..

Don´t you just love the brightness of the Velocity !!

Lovely instagram photo ~

I can´t wait for the two now palettes Gold Chemistry and Sparkle Baby to come on sale!!!! I´ll be back with more Sugarpill :)

Ribble Rabble

Hello again! I FINALLY tought I´d start blogging again, since I´m super exited about the new Sugarpill palette that hopefully arrives to me sooooon ♥♥♥ (lately everything that I´ve ordered takes like _forever_ to get to me ;___;)

And I´ve been bored today so I tought I´d bore you too with a 11 questions tag game. Altho I´m not tagging anyone :P So please feel free to do this if you like. Questions are made bu the wonderful Kassie ♥ (BTW SUPER CONGRATS ON CRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL!!).

1. What Sparked your interest in Makeup and what made you decide to start blogging?
 - Hmm.. Around fall of 2010 I started noticing blogs popping up in every news I saw. I´d never crossed my mind that I could ever have any chance on doing my own. I was a really rookie with make-up back then (lol, I still am :P). But then something in my mind said "Why not" and that was it. I started ordering crazy and even crazier makeup fron various companies and I´m seriously hooked :)

2. If you could only use one monochromatic set of colors of eyeshadow what would it be? I.e. only shades of blue.
- Probably blue.

3. Do you prefer playing with eyeshadow, lipstick or nail polish?
Lately it has been nails, but the real answer is eyeshadow (definately not lipstick >_<)

4. What do you want to be "when you grow up"?
Good at what I do. :D What ever that will be !

5. Favorite band/muscician?
This one is always hard. Lately Skrillex has been filling up my mp3 player.

6. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Eating like an animal!! OR shopping!! Gah, I seriously need to stop both :D

7. How do you like to spend your days(you know after you've played with makeup xD)
Hanging out with friends or working out/going to the gym or pilates or pump etc.

8. Do you have any pets? If so, names and pictures!
Not currently if you don´t count the dust-balls under my sofa.

9. Do you prefer indie companies or cooperate companies to buy your makeup from?
I don´t care, as long as the product pleases me.

10. The most rewarding thing about blogging for you?
When people respond to the things you do and give you feedback about it. There is nothing more teaching than a good critism.

11. Who inspired you?
 A looot of people... Um. I could make a huge list of bloggers or actors or whatever, but that is even more boring than my evening right now. So I´ll just say Lady Gaga ;)

And so that this post would not be totally without pictures, I´ll share the super awesum picture of my current mint colored nails, that I edited with Istagram. Ps. I added a link to my Istagram photos to the right panel ;)

Hey, anyone else thing I need to update the outlook of my blog, perhaps?

My latest



Half moon nails

Haven´t felt like writing lately.. So this time just photos of my latest nails.

Easter nails, Opi - Cargantuan Green with first attempt to do one stroke flowers.... fail :D

Inglot purple ft. Opi's purple with Oumaxi leopard sports and rhinestones

Inspiration picture for following nails! Altho I did these _before_ I went to Japan. Oh did I even mention? xD Got back like two weeks ago. Picture taken from Asakusa.

So second attempt on one stroke flowers. Took me some time, but I think they're pretty good for second try :DD

Picture taken 10 days after doing the manicure, as you can see the nails have grown. But I´m super amazed how these maintained good looking o_O I DID go to onsen (japanese spa) like every other day :D

Picture from Ayase

Picture from Unga. How pretty heh? ;)

Oh jeah, I bought a new phone.

May Day!

I waited for this May Day for like two months! I waited for the good weather and to finally get to see my friends (I´ve been out of the country and so on..), and just having fun and what happened?! I´ve been having the most hideous flu _ever_ for the past two weeks!!! I did dress up and go outside for a few hours, but I felt so bad all the time, that I just had to come back home ;___; 

 I even made nails for May Day! (Oh jeah, I got my Oumaxi's a few weeks ago, I´ll post about them later)

Lime Crime Eyelid primer / Base for brows
Nyx Jumbo eyepencil - Milk / On the brow base
Sugarpill - Afterparty / Brows
Sugarpill - Tako / Brow highlight and inner corner
Giorgio Armani - Eyes to Kill / Mascara
Sugarpill - Angel Baby false lashes / False Lashes

I didn´t really want to put on too much of makeup because of the flu, so I just did flashy brows and added false lashes... Fast and simple :D

I find it really hard to use this new blogger :DD Why oh, why do they always have to change things to "better", when they are already good?? 

ps. I´m super bored with my life. I´ve been wondering for quite some time what to do with my life. So maybe that´s the big reason I haven´t been blogging for a while.  But I´ll let you know if a decide something !
