I don't need to flirt, I will seduce you with my awkwardess.

I am supposed to do my reading for tomorrow's lecture, but the text is just so boring..!
It's about feminist theatre which usually is really interesting, but this is just all names and years and terms.
I've now read 8 pages and there's still like 12 to go -__- *deep sigh*

Well, before I get back to that, let me amuse you with some funny keywords from my statistics:

From this week.

Okay, for all the non-Finnish readers 'parhaat tekoripset' means "best (fake) eyelashes". 'Haun avainsanat' is just the keywords.

Excuse me, but 'just sit on it'??? What? How? :D

This made me wonder about other keywords people have been founding my blog with:

This month.

'borrowed socks'

...

BORROWED SOCKS!? Really?

You don't even know how much this amuses me.

The only funny thing that was from the whole time I've been here was '"hot water bottle" train, but still my favourite one has to be 'borrowed socks' followed after 'just sit on it'.

But oh well, next week, when I finally have time, I'll try come up with something interesting :3
Now I gotta get back to my reading...

Dear Marina, help me get through this text.


Monday 17 October 2011

I can't help myself from looking for you.

I feel like going on a rant about things, but I'm going to keep this entry nice and (hopefully) interesting instead.

Last week's Saturday I made a cake:

And because I'm nice enough I'm gonna tell you the ingredients :3

Ingredients
base:
3 eggs

2dl of sugar
2dl of flour

1 tsp of baking powder

filling:
rasberry jam
topping:

whipped cream

strawberries

chocolate and white chocolate sprinkles


I am NO baker or confectioner, but this is the easiest thing to make, and filling could be changed to another jam or pretty much anything, like mashed bananas with nutella :3
The important thing is to moisten the base enough (which I quite didn't with this one). I used diluted lemon juice with a pinch of sugar which gives a whole new level of delicious to the cake since then it's not ALL SWEET.

Here, have a piece :3

Btw! Remember the Barry M. nailpolishes I wrote about? I decided to try them together and was very happy with the result:

Ended up wearing these for almost a week till I changed the base to pink (does not look as good.)

Also, I can't be assed to change my nails so often 'cause it takes time...
And throughout the week I spent most of my time in Uni. Or dancing.
I have ridiculously long lectures on Mondays and Tuesdays (I'm talking about over 6 hour lectures), on top of that I have dance on Wednesdays (2 hours) and Fridays (1,5 hours) and another lecture on Thursday (only 4 hours this time) so that's how I spend most of my week.

Free time is spent by tumblin', which I'm kinda addicted to, learning lines, reading, dancing some more, writing and watching movies/TV shows. Sometimes I even play something :D

The gratuitous picture of myself.

My friends, Danni and Reece, and I went to see The Lion King 3D on Friday so I wanted to put some orange/yellow make-up on :3 After the movie, when I had cried most of my make-up off, I got an idea to do a proper Lion King inspired make-up. I might try out my idea one day (soon) so wait for it!

Yesterday we actually celebrated Danni's birthday, in neon-theme, so I went to get some stuff for it.
Ended up getting these very cute, sailor-ish flats:

Not exactly neon, but I've been in dire need of flats and these where just too asdsfdfdsf
£10 - Office

Here they are, again, against my terrible carpet.

I also ended up getting two new lipsticks because it was love at first sight.

Sleek MakeUP True Colour Lipsticks

The best (?) thing about them: they are both matte *__*
And they contain Vitamin E which, I guess, is supposed to help protecting the tissue of the lips.

I actually have swatches of these!!!
I'm not wearing any make-up base or lip-primer in these pictures, so it is ALL lipstick or lipstick+gloss:

Amped 781 without gloss

With Wet N Wild glitter lip gloss (E81810)

The pictures are taken with DSLR camera, in my room with natural light the window and nature provided, so the colours appear a bit lighter than they are in real life, it's actually pretty fluorescent pink~ (/EDIT 18.1.2012)

Mystic 783 without gloss

With gloss

And both at the same time, without gloss. Mystic on left, Amped on right.

In pictures the difference between Amped and Mystic might not be that big, but when live, you can actually see it.
I'm just so in love with these two right now :3 I just wanna use them all the time, but I do not dare because it would get boring so soon.

I actually used Amped for the birthday, because it is bright and after all the theme was neon.
Shamefully enough, I forgot to take a picture of my make-up, but I know other people took photos during the night so IF I find a not-so-embarrassing picture I'll post it!

I do have a picture of my hair that my flatmate, Monica, made for me:

Bun!

There's a secret how we managed to make it look like I have a lot of hair, but that's a whole another story ;D

It was a good party although thinking about some things that happened last night makes me want to go on a rant again...

So I guess I should quit here x')

P.S. Ah, I am sooo in love with Adele's Set Fire to the Rain right now and I really, really want to make a contemporary-ish routine to it (I even have an idea/story for it), but I feel that I'm not good enough as a dancer to actually make a routine.


Friday 7 October 2011

Here! Have some nice pictures of my nail polishes this time!!!

Like the title says :D
I still haven't got a new digital camera (GRRRRRR), but I finally got a DSLR camera, so I'm relying on it. (/edit: 15.1.2012)

But yeah, every once in a while I get the free time and the energy (I'm STILL ill... o_O) to go to town to get some stuff I need.
Okay, fine, I live in town, but it's completely different to walk for 20-25 minutes to Uni than walk to the main shopping street in 5 minutes.
I can tell you that first of all the amount of people differs greatly.

Anyway, I was in dire need of a new powder (and some other important stuff for a social), so I got out of the house to go get it.
In the end this is what I left the store with:

Collection 2000 Pressed Powder - 18 Ivory, Barry M Purple Rain crackle polish and Barry M Silver Foil nail paint.

Ja siitä se ajatus sitten lähti...
I mean, that's when I came up with the idea of taking pictures of the nail varnish collection I have here and post them here with some "introduction".

Wheeeyy! 15 different nail polishes!

The "norms" as I call them.

From left to right: 17 Nail Xtras Ivory Manicure, Gosh F1 Base (french manicure but I use it as normal base), Wet n Wild Wild Shine E460D - Kaleidoscope (GLITTER :3), Wet n Wild Wild Shine E401A - Clear Nail Protector (I use it as a top coat) and Barry M np319 Silver Foil.

I think Ivory Manicure is starting to die so I probably should throw it away soon... or try the legendary 'add some nail polish remover'-tactic to see if it actually works :D

The "warms".

And yes, before any of you start moaning, I KNOW that purple is (usually) a cold colour.

From left to right: Maybelline Express Finish 21 Red Berries, Incolor Super Shine 016 Hot Stuff (Gonna have some hot stuff baby~), Anytime 9 Juicy Fruit, Gosh 581 Orange Drops and Barry M np322 Purple Rain.

I just wanted to divide all my nail polishes to fives and for reason I prefer the purple with the warm colours.

The "colds".

Aaaand before any of you go all "What is that yellowish thing doing there instead of warms?!" I have to say that it's actually more of a lime-ish green and I consider green/lime green a cold colour :D

From left to right: Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine 888 Black Out (it is OLD and dying and I should probably get a new black polish since I've lost my WnW black nail polish ;__;), IsaDora 76 Arctic Blue (this is pretty old as well...), Collection 2000 Hot Looks 31 Spangles, 17 Fast Finish True Blue (I think...) and Wet n Wild Wild Shine E446C - Caribbean Frost (it reminds me of mermaid scales *__*)

And that's all I have here. I think I have some back in Finland but they are most probably destroyed by now :'D
Once again, I'm sorry for the very bad quality of the pictures. If and when I get a new camera, I will retake the photos and post better pictures :3

I painted my nails with the Silver Foil :3

Oh, I had been complaining that I don't have many colours when it comes to eyeshadows so I went and got my self this:


Now I have some colours~

Hmmm... Our landlady is supposed to come soon (well, she was supposed to come an HOUR ago) so I guess I should go and make sure everything's okay.

Blog to you later!
