Cosmetics! Makeup!

Makeup. So many different ways to do it. And so many personal styles.

I like to try out different styles and colours, especially since I don't wear anything else but black, and occasionally red..

But there are some things I won't skip, no matter the style I'm trying. One is 'flawless' looking skin, a bit like porcelain doll. I love doll makeup look, and I tend to make my eyes look bigger with makeup, since they're really small and behind glasses.

And then there's the black cat eye look with false eyelashes. Of course, to make my eyes stand out more. 

Yesterday was my first time trying out lower lid eyelashes. They really need dark lining under it, or they would look too fake, since my own eyelashes are colourless and barely grow.. I did have some problems with them, they kept on getting stuck to one runaway eyelash from my upper lid. Felt like I was gluing my lids together... Not like it would be the first time :P


I also got a package! I buy most of my cosmetics from Korea, and today it was a bigger package, containing Etude Houses cosmetics. They are the most adorable things ever! Don't believe me? See for yourself: <3

^ Here is the whole thing I got. From left to right: Face powder, blush, highlighter and kabuki brush. And the two flat things are nail stickers. I am so going to save the packages, they're so cute! I can use them for cards and other crafts! ... I've saved pretty much all the korean cosmetic packages since they look so pretty and I can use them later.. 

^ And here they are unboxed. The white one is the face powder (came with the pink powder puff), and the two pink ones are blush and highlighter (came with the white powder puffs). And the flower shaped kabuki brush.

^ And here is a picture of the blush and highlighter. They come in these cute heart shaped bits. The hearts were first in plastic container to keep them securely in place during their trip to Finland. However, in both the center piece was broken. But that doesn't matter, I can still use them! 

The blush hearts have three different shades to them, unlike the highlighter, after looking at them in better light, I realized that even the highlighting hearts have subtle tint to them, such as: blue, yellow and red. I think. I'm blind as a bat so it's hard to say :P Anyway, they're very very cute! I like! <3

^ And here are the stickers. Both have the same lace pattern, but in black and white. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the picture go horizontal.. Well, anyway. Can't wait to try out these!

.......

And that's that. Pretty darn cute, eh? :)
I'll be posting rest of my Korean stuff on another post. And I also need to make a post about my nail varnishes. I was recently able to start growing out my nails and I've been hoarding nail varnishes like crazy. And yes, some are from Korea, again ;)

In my opinion, Korean cosmetics are way better than the ones you can get in Finland. At least for the price they sure are. I can't really say much about some expensive cosmetics, can't afford them.

I guess I need to make few eBay posts. I get most of my accessories from there. And pretty much everything else too.. :)

I'll probably make another post today, depending on what else I need to do today (probably nothing...).

And again I apologise for the picture quality. I can't do any better with my phone.. :F

Anyway! Bye bye!♥


~Are my posts easy to understand?

Let's start with....?

Hello everyone.

Since I still have no readers, I can't ask anyone what they would like me to post.
So let's start with basics of my lifestyle.

About my style. 
I mainly wear black. Why? I rarely find any other colour to look good on me, or even find good looking clothes with nice colours. And when I do, there's no size. And why is that.. Well, dear readers, it is because I am fat. And there isn't enough big clothes (for a fair prize) for us huge people. And even when I finally find something, I need to get it fixed because
1. It fits on my thighs, but it's too big around my waist. (pants)
2. It's too wide on my calves when it's perfect for my thighs/ass. (pants)
3. It's perfect on my waist, but too small on my hips and boobs. (shirts/dresses)
4. It's perfect on my hips and boobs but too big on my waist. (shirts/dresses)

Argh. First world problems.

However, I like to use colours in my accessories and makeup, since there's rarely any sizing problems with those.. 

Then what about materials/patterns and such? 
I love love love lace. Black lace. 
I recently bought this pale pinkish-coral coloured loose knitted shirt. It was too bright for me to wear like that, so I went to eBay and got myself some black lace. Then with my fabulous skills of sewing (nope, I suck) I added some lace to the sleeves, and a collar to the neckline. And for a final touch I added a golden button. 

^ And here it is! Please excuse the quality of the picture, my Lumia sucks. 

This was fairly easy to do, considering that I don't know how to sew... :P

Next one is leather. Feminine leather jackets, leather shoes, leather accessories. Hell, if I could find a leather skirt with a good price, I'd get one. But you can't really find those things with an ass as huge as mine. :P

As for patters, I have to go with roses. I love rose pattern, especially on lace.

Black lace and roses do sound quite girly. And I have to admit, I love all girly things possible. However as a huge person, I can't see myself as cute and girly, so I balance it with black, leather, spikes and studs. And what would be the best way to show that? Well of course, my Jeffrey Campbell Black Spike Litas ! <3

Best shoes I have, they are so comfortable to walk in. I recommend these to anyone looking for great looking shoes that won't make your legs bleed. :)

Aren't they pretty!? <3
I hope all the snow melts soon so I can use these again.

Well, I think these were the cornerstones of my style, I might have forgotten something. If I did, I'll add it later.

Byebye!♥

~And no, I am not being paid for anything I post in this blog.

Introduction!

Hello everyone.

First of all, I have no idea how long I'm going to keep this blog up, I felt like trying, and if somehow enough people get lost and end up here, enjoy their stay and wish me to continue, I might do so. 

But we shall see, after all, there's so many blogs out there, so the chances of getting many readers are quite small...

Anyway, let me tell you something about myself and this blog-to-be.

I am

:: 22

:: Finnish, but prefer using English whenever possible (I know my English isn't perfect, but I'm hoping that someday it is!)

:: Redhead, but I prefer to call myself Ginger

:: Engaged and a happy mother or two cats

I am interested in

:: Makeup & fashion

:: Food & drinks

:: Crafts & DIY 

:: Gaming (Currently playing Final Fantasy XIII. Also enjoy Skyrim & World of Warcraft, however taking a small break, since I've spent too much time playing in a bad position, ending up with bad neck pain..)

:: Music, animals, nature etc...

And about the blog-to-be:

As it states in the 'mini title' this blog is about lifestyle, makeup (and probably some bits of fashion), crafts and cats, that it's going to be.

I am still not sure where to start, I was going to make a Youtube channel, but I don't like my own voice and my only camera is my crappy Lumia 800 so yeah... Nope.

However I am going to post videos of our cats on my Youtube channel and probably link them here ;)

Then, what next. Makeup and fashion?

I love makeup and accessories. So there will be a lot of those. Not sure if I'll be posting pictures of myself wearing makeup and accessories (I can't take good pictures of myself...), but something along the line!

Crafts?

I love making things with my hands! Be it jewellery, cards, decorations, anything really! Even if it's just doing my makeup or nails. I will be posting pictures of my past projects and then pictures, maybe how-to-do tips and pictures of new projects.

And then there's our cats! Do not fear, I am not going to fill this blog with millions of cat pictures! Just occasionally telling about them, their day and adding pictures/videos.

Oh and there will be food! Maybe. If I even happen to cook or bake something delicious looking, I might post about it, and possibly add a recipe.

So that's that! Welcome to the Doll's House! If someone somehow ends up here and reads this mess, and feels like they must know more about me... Please do ask! I will do my best to answer everyone :)

Byebye!♥

~... yes I know I use a lot of commas.
