New Buys!

  Sorry that I haven't updated much the last few days, but I've been so busy trying to choose which High School I want to go to. It's so difficult for me, since I don't want to risk regretting my decision later. Although I know that in the end I'll just have to be brave and take a chance.

  Anyway, a few days ago I went to the store and picked up a few new things!

Adorable purple earrings on the bottom!

  I adore these Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo cream shadows! They are very pigmented, stays put all day and is very easy to work with. The top left ("Permanent Taupe") I had since earlier but I thought it could be included since it's from the same series, the other ones are new (for me ;) ) and they're called "Bad to the Bronze" and "Pink Gold". 

Swatches: Pink Gold, Permanent Taupe and Bad to the Bronze.

The Body Shop's "Almond Hand and Nail Cream". 

This is really great and for sale which is extra good since I would've wanted to buy it anyways.

  It's a white cream but it gets soaked into the skin really fast and doesn't stay sticky for long. It's a great moisutrizer and the AMAZING smell last for hours! =) This will probably be frequently used this winter since cold weather makes my hands super dry. 

  Kisses and love with whipped cream on top! <3

Review: Maybelline "Hot Plum"

I am a lip-makeup fanatic and since I hadn't gotten a new lipstick in a while I decided to get this gorgeous shade!

  It's Maybelline's Hot Plum.

  Now, I picked this shade because I have been longing for a slightly purple toned lipcolour for quite some time.

  Honestly I was a bit dissapointed by the "pinkness" of this shade, since it didn't really look plummy. 

  It's a darker hot pink and you might sense a little bit of plum in the shimmers.

  But, even if it isn't my perfect plum, it's still gorgeous!

  It's VERY pigmented too and the colour fits me quite nicely. 

  It lasts for a long time and even when the actual lipstick is gone, you can still see the colour on your lips if that makes any sense. 

  This is not one of those hydrating lipsticks and I actually find it a bit drying. It goes on a bit rough and can look slightly cakey.

 But not to worry! Just put on some lipbalm or lipgloss and you'll be fine!

  Like I said, this is a stunning colour and I think I would have loved it more if I hadn't expected the shade to be more purple.  

  I'd give this a 3.5 / 5 ! I would give this a higher score but though the colour is beautiful, it wasn't what I was looking for.

This or That Beauty TAG!

It's... Tuesday-Tag-day! I found this really fun "This or That Beauty Tag" HERE. (The option I chose is written in bold in case you wondered ;) )

MAKEUP...
blush or bronzer: Since I use bronzer to both contouring and as blush sometimes! 
lip gloss or lipstick: This was actually a tough choice but I picked lipgloss because it's easy to just re-apply throughout the day, the risk of it looking cakey and dry is also smaller. You can also option between a clear or a really pigmented lipgloss depending on how risky you're feeling ;)
eye liner or mascara: Although my eyelashes are pretty well defined anyway so I actually don't use eyeliner/mascara every single day. 
foundation or concealer: I usually don't wear foundation but a good concealer is a must-have in my book!
neutral or color eye shadow: Neutral to wear out-and-about but when I'm just playing with makeup at home I would pick color ;) lol
pressed or loose eye shadows: I don't think I've tried loose eye shadow, so pressed would by my choice but I LOVE cream eye shadows as well. 
brushes or sponges: I feel like brushes are more hygenic for some reason since you can actually see all the hairs but you can't see the insides of a sponge. 

NAILS...
OPI or china glaze: Only tried OPI. My own choice would be Essie though!
Long or short: I'm pretty fortunate to have naturally strong nails so they usually get pretty long. 
Acrylic or natural: Natural. 
Brights or darks: Bright colours just inspire me! It doesn't matter if I'm doing a math test or working out, If I look down at my nails and they are bright: I'll probably get happier!
Flower or no flower: Don't really understand the question but if it's about a painted flower on a nail then it's a no ;)

BODY...
perfume or body splash: They usually feel more... I don't know, real?! What I mean is that perfumes' scents usually feels richer. 
lotion or body butter 
body wash or soap
lush or other bath company: Haven't tried Lush despite all of the hype haha. Sometime (hopefully soon?) I will though. The Body Shop is my definite fav for skin!

FASHION...
jeans or sweat pants: I just can't stand the way sweat pants feel. Sorry :S lol
long sleeve of short: Depends on the weather ;). 
dresses or skirts
stripes or plaid: I don't think I own anything plaid actually... hmmm... Time to go shopping! ^.^ 
flip flops or sandals: Flip flops feel weird and the "flop-flop-flop" sound they make when you walk is sooo annoying haha.
scarves or hats
studs or dangly earrings: Ahhh! I can't pick one!
necklaces or bracelets
heels or flats: I'm a bit too young to wear heels every single day, but I like wedges a lot! And of course cute sneakers or boots!
cowboy boots or riding boots: Both can be really cute though!
jacket or hoodie: The string around the neck in hoodies seem to slowly suffocate me... lol ;) 
forever 21 or charlotte russe: Neither.
abercombie or Hollister: Neither.
saks 5th or nordstrom: Neither. 

HAIR...
curly or straight: I LIKE curly but I have pretty straight hair naturally.
bun or ponytail: Ponytail since I'm the WORST at making buns, even messy ones haha. 
bobby pins or butterfly clips
hair spray or gel: Spray tends to look less greasy on me. 

long or short: I'm growing mine! Goal is a bit shorter than waist length.  
light or dark: On me that is ;).
side sweep bangs or full bangs: Love both!
up or down: Though I very rarely wear it up.  

RANDOM...
Rain or shine: Rain, especially if I'm inside ;).
Summer or winter: Autumn is my favourite to be precise haha. 
Fall or spring 
Chocolate or vanilla 
East coast or west coast: Hmm... I Don't know. 

This was a pretty tricky, yet fun tag. Please try it and let me know in the comments if you do! 

Have a great day!

Beautiful Saturday!

I'm so happy it's finally the weekend! Although I've had a busy week and the next one will too, it's still nice to escape the schedules lol.
  Today I went shopping and found A LOT of books and I may do some reviews once they're actually finished (or even begun haha) ;)

To start out the day, me and my mom sat and ate breakfast / read the papers when we heard a sound. Turned out my baby kitten had actually managed to fall into the toilet !!! He had actually gotten up by himself when he got there and it was one of those situations that you laugh at, but that also could have turned dangerous. 

  Oh Well, he got his first swim. 

I got this super cute little flowery tray today, soo GORGEOUS! :O :D

Hope you all had / have a fantastic Saturday! What are you up to this weekend? 

Kisses and love with whipped cream on top! <3

The Autumn Tag!

I found this tag that is made by Makeup-Pixi3 on Coffee And Cosmetics blog and I just HAD TO do it! 

The autumn is actually my favourite season. It’s just so nice and cosy… and includes some of my faves like tea, candles, sweaters, matching gloves and scarves etc.

  Another plus is that it leads up to the winter which I love too!

For Autumn, what is your...

Favourite thing about it?
My favourite thing is that the days get a bit shorter and darker. I like my evenings dark in particular, because it’s cosier. I also love the colours of the leaves and crunch under your feet! And the colors are really gorgeous too!

Favourite drink?
TEA! Vanilla, caramel, lavender, peppermint, Earl Grey… Everything! I actually used to hate tea (couldn’t even take a sip) but now it’s one of the best things I know!

Favourite scent/candle?
I have actually got tons of new candles recently that I stock up for the colder months haha. My favourite scent, smell, flavour, colour etc. is vanilla so vanilla candles are my must haves! (I’m a bit obsessed by vanilla stuff actually hehe…)

  My favourite vanillas right now has to be Christmas Cupcake, Vanilla Satin and Vanilla Cupcake all by Yankee Candle. And, as an exception from the vanilla, Garden Sweet Pea (also Yankee Candle). 

Best Lipstick?
To light up the rainy clouds outside I’ll probably wear something a bit brighter that I usually would. I love my Maybelline 540 “Hollywood Red” lipstick because it’s a more toned down red with a bit of nude in it. A thin layer can look pretty natural with just a bit of pop and a thick layer can look…. Well, you guessed it; Hollywood red!

Go to Moisturiser?
I’m using Lumene’s “Bright Now Vitamin C Cream” which smells yummy and is supposed to help with aging and protect the skin from a cold climate.

Go to colours for the eyes?
My mini 4-color Isadora palette in number 20 “Classic Brown” is an absolute gem because it makes very wearable brown smokey eyes for a cheap price! It’s also easy to carry around everywhere because of its small size. 

Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?
I’m usually into a bit of more “aggressive” music, but right now I’m actually very into pop! Lol. This autumn I’m just in a really positive mood so I enjoy light and upbeat music atm. I’m totally over-playing Ariana Grande’s debut album, ” Yours Truly”, it’s sooooo good! “Piano”, “Lovin’ It” and “Right There” gets me in happy mode instantly right now.

Favourite outfit to wear?
Tons of different jeans! I used to have like 3 pairs a few months ago but now I think I have 8 hehe… At least some have different colours and prints ;)

  I’m like 80% of the time wearing knitted sweaters when it’s cold so I think that should be included as well haha.
  I also like tights with dresses/skirts. And cardigans, cute jackets, scarves, gloves and hats/beanies.

Autumn treat?
Maybe some new makeup that I’ve been longing for ;). I want to try an EOS lipbalm! I’m also going to be checking for another autumn candle and cute new knitted stuff to make the colder months more fun ^.^ .

Favourite place to be?
I usually walk home every school day for about 30 minutes and it’s really lovely to do so in the cold, fresh air (as long as you wear warm enough clothes ;) ).

  Other than that I’m mostly inside. In the summers I usually feel guilty for being inside by the computer etc. while the sun is shining on me so I take the opportunity now that it’s cold outside lol.      

  And it’s so cosy being inside just listening to the rain… Ahhhh…
