ERMAHGERD FRESHERS’ WEEK!

Hello once again.
This time I’ll shortly tell you about Freshers’ Week, when I volunteered for SU’s Freshers’ Crew once again, and spent a lot of time meeting new people and partying. I'll be back to "serious" blogging soon.

It started on 15^th and finished on 22^nd of September. During this time I went out every night, apart from that last Saturday. I also volunteered/worked on most of the days, so you can bet your sweet ass I was a tired, emotional mess by the end of that. But it was SO much fun.

The first night out that I actually have photo proof of, was on Sunday (16th) when there was an event called Circus Sunday.
Now, I had done a make-up design quite some time ago inspired by Kid Cudi’s The Ruler and the Killer.

Here’s the design in question.

And since it was a Circus Sunday, and my costume was darkly coloured anyway, I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity for me to try the design in question for the first time.

This is what it turned out like:

Eyes open.

Eyes (nearly) closed.

And here you can see my costume for the night:

I look... funny x)

The second night out was... A RAVE.
Well, an UV Party on Monday to which I boringly enough wore a white top, short orange shorts (these ones), and slapped yellow, orange and blue make-up accompanied with bright pink lips.
There is ONE picture of me from that night, but I look ridiculous in it so I’m NOT showing it to you x)

Tuesday was my day off from volunteering, but I still couldn’t stay away from the party, and so I joined my friends at the Bavariafest in the evening.
I don’t even drink alcohol, but singing drinking songs along the band and watching others taking part in drinking games was fun. The band was a Bavarian Oompah Band and they really got everyone going :D It was great fun, although I didn’t stay too long since I had a morning shift the next day.

On Wednesday we had the very first social night, where all the societies welcomed their new members. We (the dancers aka Saints) had a “scribble social” where everyone took an ordinary, blank, white t-shirt or top, some markers and asked people to write on them.
I gotta say that my t-shirt didn’t survive from the rude comments, and a lot of people were trying to claim their ownership over me on  my t-shirt... Someone wrote “Isaac was here 2012”, but I gotta admit that I don’t even know this Isaac.
But once again, I had fun and it was a great night with the new puppies of the dance society.

I wasn’t supposed to work on Thursday, BUT I somehow ended up going to the Uni and helping out by standing there in my Freshers’ Crew t-shirt.

That night I went to the Foam Party. I went to one last year as well, but this time I decided to take part in it. The foam was all the way to my knees, my friend Josie and I were SOAKED, our hairs were a mess, but we had fun. We even met two non-students and I named one of them Chin, because he looked part Hawaiian and refused to be called Kono or Keahu.

Getting soaked and getting my ballerina flats horrendously smelly (they smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, soap and all kinds of things)? WORTH IT. Who knew foam parties could be so much fun!?

Friday... Friday, Friday, Friday.
I did not have a shift on Friday. But I spent the day getting ready for the night and Freshers’ Premier (which is always supposed to be a bit fancier with champagne etc. involved).
At this point, I have to back up a bit in time.

Mari-liis, the extremely kind person she is, had forced me to order this specific dress from Forever Unique. Fine, she didn’t FORCE me, but she did show it to me and I bet she KNEW I would feel the need to order it, so that’s the same as forcing, right?
Anyway, it was one of the most prettiest and cutest dresses I had ever seen and apparently “so me” that I couldn’t resist ordering it EVEN if the last size was 8 (I’m usually a 10 or a 12). And it was the last dress of that colour they had. So I ordered it, and waited for it to arrive so I could check if it actually fits.
The dress had actually arrived on Tuesday, and of course I opened the packet immediately to see if it was as beautiful live as it was in pictures.

I screamed when I saw the packet.

Then I screamed a bit more.

Then I actually opened it:

And screamed even more because OF THE COLOURS AND EVERYTHING.

Then I took it out and found these on the bottom:

Extra tulle and sparkles!!!

And then I FINALLY put it on (and screamed some more):

Front (duh?).

Back.

Because it fit me!!!

So that was my dress for Friday sorted.
When Friday arrived, I felt like a princess so I made myself look like one:

My boobs look small...

I think two pictures were taken of me at the Premier before I got just too emotional about stuff and started crying in the VIP area just before my friends dragged me into a photo with the Loveable Rogues.
Thankfully enough, in that photo there is this random, pink effect on my face and over one of the band members, so no one can see my red eyes.

Otherwise it was quite a good night and a great finish to the long week.
I slept like a baby on Saturday and Sunday, gathering my energy for the following week, which meant lecturers, dance rehearsals, and all kinds of exciting things.

Now, here’s the last nail polish sample!. Well, the last before I show you the NEW polishes I got:

Flormar Supershine Miracle Colors U09.

U09 with Flormar Matifying top-coat.

And that’s it about my extremely interesting life this time. Stay human, and blog ya later!

Oh! Here’s the song that inspired my eye make-up design:

PS. YOU SHOULD MOST PROBABLY VOTE FOR OBAMA IF YOU CAN.

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!
