2am musings

I just washed some of my brushes (something that I haven't done in AGES) and my mind is BLOWN.
I mean... I wish I had taken before and after photos now. And "during washing" photos as well.

As I was washing my kabuki and other powder brush the water was nearly black. WTH!? Mind you I usually always "tap" all of my brushes out as well as I can after use, but still... SO MUCH BROWN and I'm not even sure I managed to wash them completely.
My blush brush (ehehehe) of course leaked pink water for a while, but in the end the water was running quite clear.

Eyeshadow brushes were surprisingly easy, but that's probably because I usually use specific one for natural and light colours and another one for darker and bright colours, and always in between wipe and pat them as clean as I can.

I have to admit that the hardest one was my eyeliner brush (a thinner M.A.C. one), which I apparently never have posted a picture of so here you go.
You can't believe how much gel eyeliner one small brush like that can suck... let me tell you, it's A LOT. I always wipe up the excess eyeliner on my hand, but whooo boy that brush still had so much excess in it that it took me probably 5 minutes on that one alone.

Oh no, I lied. The hardest one, which I probably have to rewash AGAIN as soon as it's dry and I see the result of THIS washing has to be my angled eyebrow brush, which had eyelash adhesive and whatnot left on it after I used it for my Mystique make-up...

As soon as they're dry, I'll be posting photos of them!
But till then stay human and blog ya later~

Phew.

I am not going to lie. My life has been a stressful mess lately and I've nearly given up a few times, but here I am!

In the past month and a bit more that I haven't updated, there's been two dance competitions that us Saints (to whom I'm the treasurer fot) participated, so organising costumes, buses etc. for those took some time, I found out that someone I know has leukaemia and of course my lectures started again so they take their time, on top of all the dance rehearsals, which I have Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays... Last two weeks I also spent campaigning in our Students' Union's elections, and I got quite sick and am still trying to get better. I've barely slept (until last night), and I've been eating SO badly it's ridiculous.

Of course now I'll be concentrating on my dissertation and coursework more than usual, so I can't promise any exciting, regular updates.
What I AM doing, is planning a new background etc for the blog so that's exciting I guess :'D

Anyway, I'll need to go and pretend to do some actual work now so I wish all you readers, who've stuck with me through all these breaks, the best!
Stay human and blog ya later~

Sad Sutina is sad.

Also, Saints' theme for a certain charity night-out was "Japanese" so that is what happened.

In the words of Jack Skellington: What's this?

Well, my dear readers, this is a post where I dump a stupid amount of photos of nail polishes and nails (amongst some photos of my face) I realised I haven't posted before. And can't remember what I was supposed to write about them...

Barry M. - Teal (334)

I bought this back in... October (at least that's what the photo indicates). I have NO idea why I haven't posted any samples of is before...
Anyway, it was love at first sight, what can I say :D

Quite soon after that I went nuts and bought some glitters...

Barry M. - Ruby Glitter (353)

With some, uh... Pearlfashion UK - Pomegranate. I think. No, that might've actually been Anytime - Juicy Fruit. (And this, kids, is why you need to blog about this kind of stuff immediately!)

Barry M. - Aqua Glitter (340)

With some Barry M. - Teal, because asdfghjklölkjhgfd. How good are they together!?

Barry M. - Amethyst Glitter (354)

If I remember correctly I had Barry M. - Silver Foil under all the glitter. That OR the Barry M. - Lilac Foil. I guess it could've worked better with something brighter. Next time!

P.S.
If you didn't know by now, I'm a bit obsessed with Barry M. polishes.

My super duper awesome advent calendar.

I got a keyring and a magnet on top of all the chocolate. I was a very happy girl :D
Just posting this here, because.

Let's get to my face now, shall we?

Now usually, when I either
a) prefer sleep over everything,

b) am being too lazy, or

c) need to do something where I sweat

I go for a light make-up, that looks pretty much likes this:

When my hair was still beautifully orange instead of the mess it is now ;__;

So, in other words (or Jeremy Renner's) I go for brows, eyes, lips. Bit of eyeliner, mascara and some lipbalm. That's it.

And when I have time/am not lazy/am not going to sweat, I might do something more "showy", like this:

I have NO idea what's wrong with my face. I can be totally attractive when I want to be....

See?

First I thought the make-up above was for our dance society's christmas show where I might've or might've not danced a k-pop mash-up, but then I saw photos from the show and realised that my make-up was nowhere near that...

Photo by Paul Beard.

So I assume that the make-up was just for some random night out...

Quite soon after our dance show and everything I fudged off to Finland, about which you'll read more soon-ish as soon as I sort out THOSE photos.

Make-up for friends' housewarming get together in Finland.

So that's it.. I guess.

New dresses!

Hey y'all again!

So I may be a bit ahead, but I already got dresses for Colours Ball and VoScAs :'D Which are both in May...
I didn't got to Colours Ball last year, but I did go to VoScAs and some might remember my dress from then. This year I'm aiming to attend both, since I already got the dresses :D

Cue photos taken in our lovely kitchen which is the only place with enough space (and light) to take photos with timer....

Linny Brokade, from BikBok in Finland.

This is the one I'm planning to weat at VoScAs. It's a bit... SHORT, so I guess I'll have to get matching tights that hide my bum and undies x)

The back. Duh. You can see how short it is :D

Splash, from Forever Unique

Aaand this is the one I'll wear for Colours Ball. I originally wanted the green one, but they only had size 10 left, and apparently I'm a size 8 when it comes to Forever Unique's dresses :'D

Not that I'm complaining! The blue one is gorgeous~

No zipper!

I panicked for a second thinking how I'm supposed to get it on. But then I realised it's stretchy enough :D

Well, then. Now we all just need to wait until May in order to see how I'm look in these in the end x)

Airport blogging!

Yes, I am on my way back to Worcester.
Yes, I got bored in Amsterdam.

My hair's a mess D:

Talking about hair, as I went through the passport control the two guys there just went "You changed your hair!" and for a while I thought they remembered me from last time, but then they showed me my picture on the screen (which they had gotten because I went through the automatic machine-thingy that takes passports with chips) and it was my actual, colourful passport picture :D
Had I known they'd be comparing, I would've smiled more for the camera at the passport control x)

I also wish I would've been able to take the earlier flight which would be leaving about now... but nooooo... they gave me the later one which means that I might have to (most probably) spend my night Birmingham International. It wouldn't be the first time, but it's not nice either.
And if I do... well, I'll keep you all updated.

But I think I'm getting to my gate now so stay human and blog ya later~!
