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.
