Would you rather - beauty blogger tag

Thursday, October 09, 2014 Unknown 0 Comments

I decided to do a tag...

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
I would hate to lose the few lipsticks that I actually enjoy, but losing my Lolita palette by Marc Jacobs would hurt one hundres times more! I can replace my mascaras and eyeliners and all the other things in a heartbeat, but my palettes are holy to me.
2. Would you rather chop all of your hair off or never be able to cut it again?
Chop it all off! Am looking for a new hair do anyway, although it would be very cold now coming winter... Also I don't look too swell in hats... But my decision is made. Chop, chop!
3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
PINK. Pink looks the best with my fair skin and I happen to exclusively own pink blushes so...
4. If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Right now I would say clothes. I'm in desperate need of new textiles!
5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
Eyeliner as lipstick seems like the reasonable thing. Lipstick would slip and slide all over my lids!
6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora! They have more brands and I am not too keen on mac. I would be extra happy if the Sephora had the US-range of brands and products.
7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?
One lip colour for the rest of my life. I hardly ever wear it anyways and if I do it's always something wine red. Eyeshadow is far too important to me!
8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
Summer clothes are always ugly with no sense of style. I would choose winter clothes!
9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Is red a dark or a bright shade? I would go for red.
10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip colour or favourite eye product?
Pfft, lip colour any day! I need my eye products.
11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or messy bun?
A sleek ponytail works for every occasion!
12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
I don't care about either, but I don't like nail polish so I guess I'm stuck with lipgloss!
13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
I would rather shave them. They are pretty much invisible anyway!
14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
Silly question. Nail polish and makeup can't compare! Makeup is the winner, hands down.

Laundry

Wednesday, October 08, 2014 Unknown 0 Comments


Some days you feel like you have nothing to wear. Those days are horrible. Other days you feel completely ace, rocking one of your fantastic outfits (which you know everyone wished they wore, too). These moods depend almost one hundred percent on whether you have done your laundry or not. I personally have one week and sometimes a few days extra until my wardrobe only consist of child sized sweaters and odd socks, after that my wardrobe is in desperate need of a wash. Maybe the problem also lies in the fact that I wear black clothes six days a week...

The day I get back my clean laundry is a good day. Finally I can go outside again! Although there are always departments of your wardrobe which are lacking, and no amount of clean laundry can fix those problems. Make sure you onlyown clothes that you wear often and that covers are your textile needs. I need to do some serious shopping because I have zero autumn wardrobe- pieces. For now however, this fresh batch of clean laundry will do the trick!

I wear trousers every single day. When I was 12 to 15 I only wore jeans. Blue jeans to be exact. After that I got so sick of trousers that I only wore dresses for two years. Then I became a black easy-jean convert and slowly started to wear other trousers after a year. Now I have been wearing trousers for two years and I feel like I want to wear something else. Not dresses with flowers all over, nothing too "girly" - if you may. Just clothes that covers my butt without being jeans. My saviour? I have started to wear large tops and leggings a lot in the past month. For example a large, white collarless shirt (v stylish, not 80's in the least) or a black poncho. Both of these garments gives me an effortless chic look whilst being comfortable. No matter how soft a pair of jeans are, they can't beat leggings.

I still wear jeans, though. In my last post I talked about two pairs I have been enjoying very much! With them I like to pair a white t-shirt, grey baseball shirt or a black turtle neck. Sometimes I wear a white shirt and some other t-shirts. But I don't really like them, I need some new laundry to wash...

September jai alaights

Wednesday, October 01, 2014 Unknown 0 Comments



I recently started watching Mad Men and a few weeks ago I saw the episode about Jai Alai. The word  got stuck in my head, so I am now using it in my title. What I was trying to write was highlight, but I could not stand such a boring title. So September Jai Alaights it is! I don't have too many items to show you, since I haven't been introduced to that many new things this month. I am doing some progress on the job front however and soon I can show the blog some new things! Let's get messy.

Pink has been my colour throughout september, despite october's dibs on it. It just complements my skin when I wear bronzer in the most adorable way, I simply can't put it away. I am talking about blush, by the way, Dior Blush in 919 Rose Tahiti Paradise Glow, to be specific. It has one side which is a highlighter and one with a really subtile shimmer, on the verge of being matte. This blush is without a doubt my favourite, all year round! To apply it I've used another favourite. The Mac 169 brush has beautiful white, soft bristles which makes it look even prettier once you've dipped it in your pink blush. It's the perfect size for my chubby cheeks!
My eyes have been primped this month (and every other month) with the Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette. It's the best eyeshadow palette on the planet. It's also really expensive, but if you buy something that costs a lot of money you have to use it every day. You should want to use it every day. You can't just let it sit on your table and be used for special occasions only. You bought it to make every day a special occasion! Enjoy your splurges.

I've been having some problems with mascara the past few months but I finally found one that I like! Too bad I can't buy it in my country... I'm talking about the Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara. Bang, bang, out of the way other mascaras!
Speaking of bang, bang. Let's talk about a bomb, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf was a gift I recieved from my boyfriend on this years birthday of mine. I don't know how he knew that I wanted it, he just smelled his way to the right one. This perfume is sweet, but it's eau de parfum and not toilette, so it's a bit deeper and I can therefore use it during the upcoming winter as well.
Raw Coconut Oil has been my last beauty jai alaight this month. I love to put it on my hands, neck and face as a deep moisturiser or for when I massage my face and neck. The natural scent of coconut is really strong, thus being the reason for it's appeal. I love using one-ingredient products!

Fashion wise I've gone a bit crazy. I have stepped away from my policy of high-waisted jeans only and got myself two pairs of jeans. One pair with a regular waist and one with a low waist. I don't like wearing low-or regular waisted jeans too much because they usually give me an awful muffin top. However these jeans are so soft that they actually don't tug in like that at all! I have never worn such soft jeans, especially the blue ones. Both jeans are from Acne Studios and the blue pair is called Skin 5 Pistol Blu and the black/grey washed ones are called Low Raven. If you have the chance, try the Skin 5 Pistol Blu ones. They come in a bunch of different colours.

Answer me truthfully, is jai alaight a bad word for highight or am I a complete genius?
