The movies you watch, end up watching you.

I am working on different ideas, but I kind of just sat down last week and doodled some eye make-up designs.
I had two inspirations: The Lion King, especially Nala, and Marvel's Loki, especially Tom Hiddleston's version.

Now, I didn't want to go and do EXACT copies of anything, but, for example the black around Nala's eyes, I wanted to do something similar.
And of course, I am not a man, nor do I have black hair, like Loki, but I build my design around the colour of the costume and his character.

Without further ado, I shall throw pictures at you.

Oh yeah, I did dye my hair red. Should've done Mufasa or Simba instead x)

It looks very normal and basic, partly because I wanted to create something that I'd actually dare to wear in public as well :D

Colours that I used are circled in the picture, you can also see parts of my design if you look closely.

Process of the eyes went pretty much like this:
- add the beige
- add the yellow (beauty uk), add the other yellow (Gosh)
- add orange
- add brown
- do the eyeliner

Look surprised. You can see the corners clearly in this photo.

I wanted the eyeliner to remind Nala's eyes more than anything else so I paid attention to the corners and shape of her eyes.
Otherwise, I went for more a colourful approach, using yellow and orange instead of just the natural beige and brown.

Lower eyelid has only yellow.

Upper one has orange and yellow.

Lips: M.A.C. Cremesheen Creme Cup.

I put some bronzer all over my face, but you can't even see it in the pictures... oops.
Next up, Loki inspired make-up!

Would've been more fun with black hair :D

Let me quickly explain Loki to you, who don't know him.
Originally Loki is a god and a jötunn (a frost giant) in Norse mythology. He has the ability to use magic and change his shape. He can also turn into a woman, and hence is a mother... well, father to creatures like Fenrir. Marvel's Loki is an adopted brother to Thor, rescued by Odin from Jötunheim, and also a villain in most of the stories.
He doesn't differ that much form the Norse Loki, but of course when you take a character from mythology and turn them into a supervillain, you have to do some changes :D
I suggest you take a look at both the mythology, which I've read since I was a kid, and the comics. They are very interesting.

Now as I mentioned before, I was inspired by the new Thor movie's Loki, and especially the costume and its colours, so I knew from the start that my make-up would have three main colours: black, green and gold.

Colours used are, once again, circled. Gold is Fashionista's Golden Glow shade 38.

I put pale green very lightly under the brow line.

Green on the outside, gold on the inside.

I always feel that femme!Loki would be very feminine and accurate with her eyeliner and brows, so I tried to create a bit more elegant eyeliner and brows than normally.
You can tell me how I did :D

Then I took out Thor's helmet, and decided to put it on for fun. Shamefully I don't have Loki's glorious helmet :(

I do not own any black lipsticks so I just used my wet 'n' wild black kohl. Works the same way as a lipstick or a lip liner, and it's not the first time I do this x)
Of course, it smudges very easily, and I was going to movies (Haywire) so I decided to take it off and replace with a red lipstick.

Lips: Lumene It's Just A Thought 522

I also made Loki inspired nails :D
Black: Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine, green: Collection 2000 31 Spangles, and glitter: wet 'n' wild E460D Kaleidoscope.

That's all for tonight I guess. Stay human, and blog y'all later!

This. Is my face.

Updated the lipstick pictures (except one) in one of my old posts!!!

This post only serves to show my face. There is not really much else here this time, because what I'm working on takes time x)

On Monday I went to see David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is a great movie with awesome music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and people should go see that movie, see the original movies, and read the books! So yeah, I wanted to look a bit more presentable than on an average day which I would spend inside my room in my pyjamas, and without make-up.

I present you:
Eyes:
beauty uk eye shadow collection 1 only the brown shades),
M.A.C. gel eyeliner (Blacktrack),
M.A.C. Studio Fix Lash mascara,
Lips:
Sleek make-up lipstick Amped 781

Wet hair is wet :I

I really like Gosh's X-Ceptional Wear foundation, since it just kind of absorbs into my skin and adapts to it while still covers well, and it feels like it just looks better the longer I wear it :D
Besides, I don't need to spend so much money on powders since I really don't need a super powder with this foundation :3

On Tuesday I went to see War Horse, which also a great movie, and I had trouble keeping my emotions in shape, and I actually even cried at few points. Tom Hiddleston is truly amazing in that movie.
Luckily enough my make-up stayed on surprisingly well, but I had taken a picture before I left the house, just in case.

Eyes:
Famous Trio Eye Collection midnight,
M.A.C. gel eyeliner

Lips:

Lazy make-up is lazy.

The darker eye shadow looks really dark, almost black, which amuses me since in reality it's just dark blue.

The dark blue on the right is the one I used for the corners.

I originally got this palette so I could do the scales, and eyes for Mystique. Remember, this one?

Photo by Donston Powell.

Yeah. I didn't have the right shade of blue for it, so had to get one. Because the cream make-up doesn't work that well alone on the scales, painted with liquid latex:

The cream make-up covers them okay, but they stay lighter than rest of the skin for some reason.
The white nearly showed through some of them so. I had to pull out the eye shadow.
(And I'm sorry, I took this pictures when I didn't have a proper camera, and I refuse to do the make-up again JUST to take two pictures)

Eyes are the darkest blue from the palette and scales are the blue from the middle.

The lighting is a bit bad in that picture, but it shows the contrast between skin, scales and the eye shadow the best so I'm not complaining :D

Now I will run away again to spend my time on something redundant.
Stay human and blog ya later~!

Updating, presents and New Years :3

First of all, I updated my old post about some of my nail polishes. Well, some of its pictures anyway.
You can finally see what the colours look like in the bottles :D
I will be editing some of the pictures in older posts, so I'll always tell in the newest post if and when something has changed and where :3

Since I now have a camera that takes good photos, I might as well show you some things I've gotten, but haven't shown here!

I got some new nail polishes a while ago (coughDecembercough), so let's start with them:

From l to r: Barry M. 54 Clear, Barry M. Lilac Foil, Barry M. 292 Navy and Layla 04 Turquoise Wave

I bought Navy for my birthday (I was Mystique after all), and I can't remember when I got Clear and Lilac Foil...
Anyway, I got Turquoise Wave from my friend, Heli, as a present. It is one of those fancy magnetic effect nail polishes one, and it's pretty damn cool :3

I only have samples of Lilac Foil, Turquoise Wave, and in a sense Clear:

Layla 04 Turquoise Wave with Barry M. 54 Clear (base Gosh F1 Base)

Barry M. Lilac Foil. Base: Gosh F1 Base, top: Wet 'n' Wild E401A Clear Nail Protector

So no with those 4 added to my nail polish collection here, that makes it 19 nail polishes:

I need to figure out a place to keep these. I am more than happy to take suggestions!

Now that I got to the topic of presents, I might as well show you some other presents I got for Christmas .

I needed new boots that would keep the wetness outside, wouldn't be too slippery on ice, and would be warm. The result:

The fashionable version of women's hiking boots!

I am surprised that I managed to stay up with those on ice.
Picture above shows the two ways you can wear them... or you could do this:

Ta-dah!

Okay, if I am honest I don't even know what those things are called, my aunt gave them to me for Christmas.
I tried to google it, but all I came up with was: "Fur Lower Leg Boots Cover Socks" and "Fur Winter Ankle Lower Leg Warmer Boots Sleeve Cover" so yeah... I'm just gonna call them boot leg covers, until someone corrects me.

Basically, or simply, how they work is this:
1) Get boot leg covers.
2) Put them around your boots, so that the elastic part is inside your boots.
3) Wear the shoes like you would any other day.

This is what they look like normally. At least mine do.

Only problem is that the fur part does not yield so it's hard to get these around some boots... especially thicker ones.

I also got some other very usefull stuff as a present from my friend, Ida:

5 piece manicure kit and wet wipes that smell like strawberry :3

The manicure kit is for travelling or home, it's pretty handy and it goes to a small space. It's also decorated by crystallised Swarowski elements~ ♥

My oldest cousin, who knows me too well, gave me a tiara:

Her daugher (10 years old) and I were the only ones to receive these x)

I already have one tiara, but it is different. I might post a picture of it when and if I find one. This wasn't the only hair/head accessory I got.
My friend, Anna, gave me the cutest and coolest little hats:

She gave two to all of us from our high school posse (HSP). Each according to their personality x)

Can't wait for the day I can use these for something :3
Well, I did wear them during New Years, which my HSP made awesome by just saving me from being alone.

We played Dixit...

Which is this really funny story telling/word explaining game with picture cards.

We also played Master of Movies...

I came second, and we all were VERY frustrated with the questions about Finnish actors etc. x)

I squealed when I saw this card:

Because Scott Caan. I adore him.

We also were just silly and posed for each other, a bit like this:


Here's my eye make-up from New Years (forgot to post it earlier, oops):

Gosh and M.A.C. Nothing you readers haven't seen before x)

And of course we went to see some fireworks, duh:



And that's all for now! Stay human and blog you later!
