My school has finally starteeeeed! So I am now a proud student of Make Up For Ever Academy Helsinki! I cannot even comprehend the excitement, even though taking this course makes me as poor as... well, every student in Finland. I´m excited for the things we will get to do, but for also for my new schoolmates, since I love making new friends :)
The classroom is all you would ever expect from a makeup school - Full with mirrors, lights and makeup chairs ♥♥♥ And of course enormous amount of makeup, makeup, makeup. Although actually I havent seen thw products yet, but I hear they are stacked safely in the teachers room ;)
Bwahahaa!
It seems that I´ve been taking pictures of my 'old' makeup stuff awhile ago? I literally bursted into laughter when I found these pictures. Since then I´ve still been obsessively 'hoarding' some more and more and more. Merde! And tomorrow we get to go to the Make Up For Ever's wholesale shop so I will probably go insaine !! I think my wallet will cry..... I want to buy everything. At least we get a huuuuge discount.
Oh jeah, actually we as students get discounts from various places, so (whoopsie) I already purchased like five pair of lashes and some other random stuff today. For really cheap and with good quality. Oh dear, I don´t know how I will survive this year!
I´m really looking forward in getting some new hair stuff, so I hope I can get good deals with them as well. These curls I did for a birthday party with my lame 15€ straghtener and it was... Well, let´s just say r-e-a-l-l-y hard. Since the straightener doesn't even have round edges. In fact, it has quite angular edges.
...just kidding. Ok, so I´ve had this dilemma for quite a while already. Two months ago I was certain that I wanted violet hair. But now I´m not sure anymore. So I played around a little :P Yes sorry for the BAD editing but I did it quickly just to see the different colors..
Here are the inspiration pictures for lilac:
Llllllove. I want this. BUT....
Also Magneta looks good.
And blue.
NOT GONNA BE GREEN. NO.
..getting tired of the same picture. The two upper pictures have a litte different tone in them. Since turquoise IS my favorite color, I´m also considering this. So help me! What should I do? All comments more than welcome.
Yesterday this was released in Finland, and today it is in my hands! The newest Ghost Brigade album - Until fear no Longer Defines us. They are still by far my favorite finnish band. And lately I´ve been a bit down so this music is perfect melancholy metal ! Ugh, okay, I´ve been more than a bit down, most of my friends know why. All I can say is that life gets fucked up sometimes. Maybe I´ll now finally move abroad! Let´s see what happens. Huff, returning to the album...
"Mastodon eat you heart out"
..CD came with a poster!
Somehow, listening to this band can bring out the bad feelings and thoughts from inside me and calm me, somehow.
Yesterday night I didn´t feel like sleeping so I made myself a French manicure with some rhinestones :)
And now I have to confess. I´ve been out of colormask for a month! And now my hair looks...
..horrible. Ugh! The color is washed out and uglyyyy ;_____; Looks more like orange than red. My camera changed the color a little.
But fortunately! Today I got two more colormasks and Paul Mitchell´s INKworks in hot pink.
As this is "HOT PINK" and not red, I´m little bit nervous to see wether my hair turns red or pink :`D

Lately I´ve been getting some comments about my "gorgeus" red haircolor! :) So let´s talk about my hair, shall we? :3 I´ve had aaaalll kinds of hair color you can think of... From red to green, from black to blonde.
Some time ago I went from black to red - which was not easy because I had been using "shop" color black (dying it myself at home), which does NOT come off. So first we had to gently bleach my hair two times and then I´ve been just adding red ever since. Can´t really tell what brand I´m using - we usually mix whatever looks good :)
Usually I get bored with my hair color really easily, but I´m really liking this red, and I´m staying with it... for awhile at least :)
Some previous styles:
2008
2010
2009
Nowdays (with a light that makes the color look bit orange o_O)
So how do I get it so red? Considering that there is the black color stuck deep within the hair and the red color usually washes out pretty fast. All bright haircolor owners know that it is slightly impossible to maintain the vivid color for more than a week.
So I thought I´ll list some of my favorite hair producs~
Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure - Repair Rescue
This condioner/mask immidiately makes the hair more alive. Almost like feeding it the vitamins it needs. Best "normal" conditioner.
Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure - Color Save Shampoo
I´m also using same set shampoo. Comes in a big and easy to use bottle.
KC Professional Color Mask - Pepper
...and here the secret is! Color mask in pepper color. Makes even the dullest red hair as bright as the strawberries ❤ Best best best tinting condioner ever. My favorite. Don´t think I´l ever have to try another one.
+ It smells ssso good. + Gives you a deep vivid red + Can be used home
- you have to use gloves when applying :D
Davines Alchemic Conditioner
This conditioner works well, even with brown hair. The stuff inside is a bit scary tho, it´s bright pink! Great for shine, but does not color the hair. Good for moisture!
Goldwell - Hot Darling
A styling lotion, which protects the hair from heat. Always always always remember to use something like this when blow drying etc your hair! The "hotness" really damages the hair! To use, apply to damp hair and blow-dry or style with a hair straightener.
Sim sensitive System 4 Chitosan Hair repair
A leave-in spray for dry and damaged hair, also protects from the heat and sun. Is supposed to rebuild and repair the dameges in the hair with chitosan and creatine.
Nivea Styling Mousse
Great for long lasting volume~ Also protects the hair from the heat. Works well if you dont add too much :D
Bigsexyhair Volume Dry Shampoo
Having a bad hair day? This will fix it! Just spray the product to the hair and comb off. "Use on dry hair to absorb dirt, excess oil and protuct build-up. Greate volume, providing UV protection and helping to maintain color" There is only one bad side, just like in the rest of the worlds dry shampoos. After one use, the bottle starts leaking dry, and mine took like three weeks and... five uses, until the bottle had only little liquid inside anymore, and nothing came out.
I keep telling myself that when I´ll get a new camera, this blog would be more interesting, but let´s face it, even I find it boring ;___; I have all these ideas, but no time to present them, obviously at least at the moment. Maybe I´ll do some changes. When I have the time :`D
Me being happy. Look at the hair!
Dreads - I has them.
I purchased dreadlocks:3 From cybershop, 9 e/package. Luv them! I use them on a ponytail at the moment. Maybe little too heavy, but what an easy "makeover". The picture does not give enough gredit tho.
Then a little makeup review:
Inglot Silver 096
Same silver with glitter ends~
I´m not pleased with the Inglot nailpolishes >.< They have a lot of nice colors, but you have to add _at least_ three layers of color for it to look like the color in the bottle. And yes, they do indicate this on their website. Maybe the colors are easier to work and to mix with, but… I find it annoying. But this silver is so pretty it´s worth the trouble :3 I wonder how terrible stamping nails would be with these o_O Btw I have 13 stamping plates on the way (hopefully coming soon) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪~
I also purchased nude 48 Slim gel lipstick from Inglot. The ”slim gel” lipsticks are said to be more moisture than a normal lipstick, and that´s why I bought it. But it´s not! I still have to add lipbalm or gloss on top of it, to get a good feeling :/ Pretty but dissapointing.
I finallyfinished this beige jacket! And it came out pretty well, althought I´m not too impressed by the fabric.
Nor the pic quality... But I got payed well 8D
Mentioning camera! I was thinking of buying it next month when I might afford it >.<. Can you imagine, atm first I take pictures with my phonecam, then I take my memory card from another phone which I use as an mp3 player (stole it from my brother), insert the card to my phone, move the photos to the card, take it out, put it to an sd adapter and then insert the adapter to my laptop :`D So yes, i do need a camera and not only for the photo quality... And I talked with few "experts" about what camera I should choose, and we all ended up with Canon Powershot s95.
★ HS System & f/2.0 lens (the smaller the "f", the more data the camera can cather in dark space without flash)
★ High-sensitivity 10 MPix CCD
★ 28mm wide, 3.8x zoom lens, Hybrid IS (the smaller the mm amount, vider the angle and more stuff fits in the picture)
★ Lens Control Ring, Full Manual & RAW
★ 7.5 cm (3.0") PureColor II G LCD
★ HD movies, HDMI
★ High Dynamic Range mode
★ Smart Auto
★ Multi-Aspect Shooting
★ Optional Waterproof Case
It costs almost 400 euros, but it fits my current budjet. And I do have tought about this for a long time already. So, I´m gonna go to the shop and play with it for awhile, and if I like, I´ll buy. The end. :D
Ohh, I just realised that now I´ve worked …8 weeks for itella already. WHAAAT, where does the time go ;___; Seriously, time goes by too fast, I think I´m missing out on life :D …been working my ass off lately. Because I have two jobs! I leave at 9 PM and come home 4 PM, sleep 4 hours and go back to work :`D That´s the main reason I have not been blogging. But it´s springtime and sunshine makes me smile and I don´t feel tired at all and all of my worries are gonner :) .The other work ends this month, so in April I´ll have a life again! :D But a lot of work means money... So I might have ordered some things all over the world.:3 I have a FEW packages coming :3 hihihi, makes me giggle. I´m such a materialist! I´ll post pictures when these start dropping in :3 Mainly from UK, US and Hongkong. But also from Australia and Finland~ Lots and lots of pictures when I get ´em!
