Photoshoots and concerts


I've been so busy lately. Not only have a had a lot of photoshoots lately (which I will get back to) but my man finally came home from Roskilde Festival and we've been spending alot of time together. But now, he's back to work and I got a bit more time for myself.
Last night we got into an arguement. Which was horrible. Luckily none of us are hot-headed and we are always able to talk calmly and mature about everything. But last night he was tired and I was upset because of some family issues. But as always, we talked it out, I feel closer to him now. But I also feel how different we are and not because of the age difference but more the lives we have lived and especially the way we have dealt with our problems in the past. And I think we'll have some rough times to overcome in the future. But I don't care. And neither does he. Cause we are so unbelievably happy together. <3

Well, I won't get all soft on you guys so let's talk about something else.
While TG was at the Roskile Festival, me and my best mate Mads went to Nibe Festival to see MIKA.
I am a HUGE MIKA fan. I've seen him once before about 2 - 3 years ago and it was the most amazing experience ever.
This time, we got so close to him, waited for 2 hours so we were sure to get a great spot.


When he went on, I think my heart stopped beating for 20 minutes. Everything stood still and I was afraid I was gonna pass out. Impressive music can have such an effect on someone.
While he was singing, he noticed me and pointed down to me while smiling and singing! I almost cried. We tried get some CDs signed but he wouldn't come out. He's coming back in the autumn and I can't wait. Hope to get to meet him then. The new album will be out September 16th.


My new MIKA shirt. Which I LOVE and wearing right now.



And the photoshoots.
I've been so booked lately, and even though it's hard at times, I absolutely love it!!! There's not much to tell about it, but I want to show off some of the pics I've done lately.







Now, I'll get ready for TG to pick me up. We're gonna watch Drive and I'll cook (or try). I love my man.

Thank you for reading.

Summer Makeup

My first tutorial.
There's already alot I'm gonna do different next time, doing a tutorial. Like take pictures throughout the process. I also wanna do a video sometime but the camera makes me nervous and I start stuttering. But here it is.



I wanted to do a fresh simple everyday summer makeup.

I started with a clean face and applied a moisturizer and a foundation when the lotion was absorbed. I used Dream Satin Liquid - Ivory. 
Then applied Lime Crime Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Helper. A fantastic eyelid primer.
When it comes to eyeshadow, there's a lot of different ways to do it and this is the way I do it, as it works the best for me.
I used these products for the eyeshadow.




Suparpill Lumi
Sugarpill Decora
2 different Collection 2000 Dazzle Me!
Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette. 






Dazzle Me! was some product I found on sale. I think they were 2 dollars for 3 eyeshadows. So I bought every color they had and alot of the colors are really gorgeous. Very shimmering and sparkling.

I started with appling just a little bit of Decora (the darkest colour) in the crease, just to mark where I would put it. Then I applied Lumi in the inner corner of the eyes and a bit on the lid, following with the golden peachy color, and then the golden pink and Decora, blending them nicely and giving the crease a bit more eyeshadow. Over the crease, I apply just a slight golden peach and pink to blend it out perfectly.
Then I draw my eyebrows on with GOSH Extreme Art Eye Liner and applied an eyeshadow from the Coastal Scents palette a skin tone lighter than my own just under the eyebrows to lift it up.

And for the final touch, thin, simple black eyeliner from Cosmetica Fanatica (discount makeup brand but their eyeliner is quite nice!) and false eyelashes that I cut shorter to give a more simple look.



I rarely wear anything on my lips but if you do, I would recommend peachy or nude lips. Sometimes less is more.

Hope you like it, more to come.

First review: Sugarpill

This is my first review so please bare with me. :)

I already bought the Hysteric Loose Eyeshadow long time ago and I loved it. It's a gorgeous purple color with a metallic look and a pearlized shimmer. I love how the glitter plays in the light.

Then finally I saved up some money to make a new order.
And as always, Sugarpill package was absolute stunning. The package had their kitty logo on it and contained not only the items I ordered but also a card/picture, a big lovely glitter sticker and a sample of their Magpie Loose Eyeshadow.


The eyeshadows I ordered were:

Royal Sugar
Lumi
Starling
Birthday Girl
Paperdoll
Decora

They are all very lovely colors but I would say that Royal Sugar and Lumi are very must-haves in any makeup collection. Along with the Hysteric.

The Royal Sugar is the most intense blue I've ever seen. It's a deep vibrant colour with shimmering glitter. I'm gonna wear this so much!
The Lumi seems a bit plain white at first but when you look closer, you see the pearlized pigment. It has an amazing effect when you apply it. It plays in this light amazingly and almost seems to have a metallic green color with maybe a little of a magenta tone to it.
The Starling is a much darker color than it seems from the website pictures. Also a more dark green turquoise than what I had expected. But I so very much like it. It is also very glittery and metallic but seems more rough and aggresive than the other colours I have bought so far. I think this is a color I will often use for makeup jobs.
The Birthday Girl. First when I looked at it, before I opened it up, I thought it looked very plain and boring. It has this very soft cotten candy pink look. But when I opened it up, it was like a explosion of light from the reflection from the glitter. Absolutely amazing color that I am very excited to experiment with.
The Paperdoll has the same kind of plain ash-ish purple at first, as with the Birthday Girl, but when you open it up, it's a color explosion. I think these 2 colors will compliment eachother beautifully and I can't wait to do a really cute My Little Pony look with these colors.
The Decora is a more redish pink. I saw a review from someone saying the same thing about the  eyeshadow and I thought "Oh no!" cause I am not a big fan of redish pinks. So I has very happy to see that this was not the case. When saying "more redish pink" I don't mean this looks red in any way. I don't think it looks hot pink. More of a darker peach pink. But I fell in love with it immediately. It is so fresh and yummy to look at. It is absolutely perfect for a summer look.

I haven't given Magpie sample I got a proper look yet.

I highy recommend all these products, I know, I'm gonna need the whole collection. :)
And it is always such a pleasure receving the package.

All Sugarpill products are vegan and cruelty-free.

Missing my man


So TG is at Roskilde Festival atm. He's away for 8 days and it sucks. I miss him so much.
It's ridiculous how much it affects me but we've been spending everyday together for 4 months. Guess it's healthy though. I mean to miss eachother now and then. Even though it hurts a bit.
But he'll be back on Sunday and I know I will be so psyched to see him again.

I've been really busy lately. And I have a horribly sore throat which really does not help with everything.

But finally, it seems like I pretty much got almost everything sorted out now. And tomorrow I'll make my first makeup review + how to.

I will also if I find the time, blog about the MIKA concert.
So stay tuned, there will be plenty of nice pictures.

Meanwhile.... check out my shop, I have listed a bunch of brand new jewelry lately.

Like this gorgeous pink flower ring:


Or for the people with not so much love for pink and glitter as me.
A steampunk octopus metal necklace:
