Thing about Lipsticks

Coral Nude,
Fuchsia,
Passion Rouge

I have three favorite lipsticks that I use the most common.

Lumene
Shade 11
(I thought long between this and the shade 9,
this was more warmer)


The warm nude is my newest, softest and most natural shade. I love to use it on days when I put an effort only to my eyes. It truly looks nicely natural on my lips but still gives color and softens the look. :) Key for sweet babydoll looks, indeed! ;D

The lipstick is from Lumene's Natural collection with wild rose extract and it treats lips with its enriching consistency. Smells also very beautiful! (:


Maybelline
535
Perfectly red and deep!
This red lipstick is such a darling: it also heals my lips with it's balsam-like consistency and the shade is to my taste. It's 100% red and as it's said, you don't necessarily need nothing more than a red lipstick and a red nail polish!

Moist and stain kisses! xxx 

We Care Icon (special, only from Sokos)
Number 17
My surprising shade. Pink and energetic! I like the fuchsia so much and though it's bit cold shade I have found it very useful (I have it on even now though I'm on my holiday (; It's always nice, don't you agree?). And it is totally worth for its magnetic title, it stays on for whole school day and looks perfect! Though I might bite my lips, it wont spread around my face or lose the color. Wonderful, eh? :D At least for a lip biter like me it is - especially when it heals your lips the same time!

It's from We Care Icon which means it is from natural ingredients and made with good will,  quite like Body Shop's products. That's why I like the makeups of WCI brand so much! I always recommend their products for my friends. Sad that they only sell here in Finland because they are as good as Body Shop's but twice cheaper!

Today was pink day. Kisses to all!

Licorice Sauce & Hot Chocolate

To the market after the last test day this year, buying some treat for coming holiday, which I totally had earned...

I'm crazy for hot drinks at the moment and I that's why I got myself licorice sauce, whipped cream (Yummyyyy!) and marshmallows.
All those ingredients for perfect steaming hot chocolate, of course!

Ok I don't use all those three treat to create one dish but to do good marshmallow hot chocolate (I'm pretty sure you all have had it at least once in your life, it's traditional!) and licorice hot chocolate. The cream is just and only to finish the look. And it makes it more special when it has a nice cream swirl on the surface. ;)

Many are astonished that I enjoy drinking my hot chocolate with licorice. But it's is so damn delicious, believe me! You should try it out, especially if you do like licorice. It gives the drink a bit piquant taste, not too yummy-yuck-yuck-sweet (like the marshmallows, mmmm....) and is somehow little energetic... Fierce, I could say!


Ok, so start like with a normal hot chocolate.
Heat the milk in a microwave and skip 2-3 teaspoons of
chocolate powder in it.

Then add the licorice sauce. One teaspoon is good,
depending on your taste of course,
more or less than that is even better.
Mix!

Make  a good looking cream swirl...
So here's my FIERCE cup of hot chocolate
as it was served for me in Coffee House for the first time.
Enjoy!

Why Wont Batman Bring Presents On Christmas?

I could write a song about this holiday fever I have now. But I can wrap the feeling up shorter: 
Finally! I missed you so, Easy Life!

I was shopping today the last Christmas presents (they were for my parents) and though my bank account is probably looking a bit sad currently, I actually enjoy giving presents! I gave today my three friends each a present, homemade chocolate pralinnes and chocolate hearts. Made me feel happy! :)

To do on holiday:

  • sew; customize pair of high waisted jeans, do thing or two from dad's old shirts and jean cloths
  • eat; as the stress flows out, food comes to replace it
  • job applications; my coming summer is going to be full of working - and money!
  • sale shopping; looking forward already! ;)
  • blog; since I have finally time to do this more regularly! xx
Something for my dad a month ago.
From old Levis.
Now I'm thinking of making a coat out of them!

I'm so thankful for this two weeks lasting break since I can do everything I really want. No school, no head aches after studying chemistry for hours. Only sore fingers from sewing but that's OK!

Feelings by Lily Allen

Oh, he treats me with respect, 

He says he loves me all the time, 
He calls me 15 times a day, 
He likes to make sure that im fine.
You know I've never met a man, 
Whose made me feel quite so secure!
He's not like all them other boys, 
They're all so dumb and immature. 

I look into your eyes,
I want to get to know you...

Imago Glasses

It has been a trend for a while now to use glasses though you don't actually need them for reading or something like that. Glasses are as important part of your look, for example, as your hairstyle.
First I thought they were funny and useless because who wants to wear glasses if they don't need them. But two days ago I bought my very own and first imago glasses.

Vero Moda



And I'm quite obsessed already to these already by now!

I feel so smart and they serve nice look for me.

Brightness any outfit between this dark season!

Harry Potter?
Or fashion designer?
Easy to know which I would prefer more....



Matched with this
silk dress...
Lovely!
Everybody said to me at our class's party that I look like one of Marimekko's designer! :D I was so high and flattered for that!

No Ideas - Let's Go Party

Christmas sure is lovely time but the time before it is not! Especially these 20 days before it tears my nerves into million pieces! D: I mean the shopping, which turns from a nice thing to the most difficult thing ever when I need to buy things to others. 

And plus, we celebrate my mom's 50 anniversary this weekend and I don't have a single clue what to get for her. I don't know what she would like to have or would she have anything materialistic at all. I have thought about getting some sort of cosmetology gift card for her... No idea yet where.

We are having pre-Christmas party with my class tomorrow night and as topic says - I have no idea what to put on there! There's no dressing code and I guess not all aren't dressing anyhow special (there to drink). But I of course would like to dress somehow - not just grab those everyday clothes.

I went today watching, by a chance, some Cheap Monday's jeans. Totally adorable. I have only one pair of old Lee's and I need urgently new jeans. Straight and slim. Dark. Those would be great for tomorrow, only 50 euros for good quality jeans, not too bad. :>
Borrowed here!
Outfit bit like this is in my mind.

And I thought of buying a bit over-sized, around size M, black lace shirt with collar. I have wanted it for so long time! And now that it is on sale... Only 15 euros.
