More eBay stuff & Mother's Day cards.

Good evening! 

As I promised, I'd make this post at the end of this week, and since it's Friday it means that it's time for some cheap stuff from eBay!

Let's start with some jewellery stands! I've been fighting with my jewellery for a while now since I'm starting to have quite a lot and there's no good place for them, so I decided to check eBay for some nice jewellery stands and/or displays. 

And I found some!
I ended up getting two stands for my earrings, one for bracelets and one for necklaces (still haven't received that one..). And at some point I'm going to get one for my rings. 
I'm also planning on making one myself, for my stud earrings.

Anyway, some pictures!

^ Two lovely pink metal stands! There were also white and black ones, but I chose this.

And after taking the pictures I realized that my engagement ring is hanging on the left one :D

^ Bracelet stand with very bad picture quality. And this was the best I got :/

The snowball looking thing is a project I'm working on.. Not that you can see much in this picture :F

.......

Then I bought myself a nail lacquer set that has base and top coat (trying to make the top coat into a matte top coat, but so far no success :P ) and a new lipstick which ended up being more pink that I thought it would be. 

But I can still use it, so no problems!

^ Fräulein3°8 base & top coat.

^ Heng Fang (?) Balm lipstick.

.......

Let's see.. Then I finally found myself new bras! And some cute slippers since my toes are always freezing. 

However, I ended up using the pictures from eBay, since I didn't get any good pictures myself. And trust me, I tried :D

^ Tadah! The top two bras I got both in black, the slippers in pink and the last bra in red/black.

Finally some bras with enough support!

Aren't the slippers just so CUTE?! ..I actually cut off their tails and gave them to our cats. Only one left :P

.......

So those were the items I've gotten in the past two or three weeks. 

What next?

Well, Mother's Day of course! In Finland it's celebrated on the 2nd. Sunday of May.

And I do my best to make every card myself, be it Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Days etc.

I made three cards today, but I managed to put one into an envelope before taking pictures, so I only have two to show.

^ 3d rose card I'm going to give my mother. The golden sticker says "To mother" in Finnish.

Rose has many layers of paper stuck together to make it rise from the card.

^ And this is one I'm going to send to my other Grandmother. In this card, the golden sticker says "To grandmother" in Finnish. 

I used a poppy stamp to make the flower, then slightly coloured it to give it some life.

.......

As you can probably see, I like to keep my cards quite simple. 

Anyway, That's all for today! I'd be doing my best to post at least once a week. Of course, if nothing happens I might not. However I do my best to keep myself busy, so I'll also have something to report about. :)

Have a great weekend everyone, and to those who'll be celebrating Mother's Day soon, don't forget to send your Mother a card if you can't visit them!

~ Flowers!

Bags!

Hello and long time no see!

I have been quite busy/tired the past week so I haven't gotten anything done really. I had work for the past four days and by the time I was home I was too tired to do anything, and it was already getting dark enough to have problems taking pictures.

But I finally got the bag I ordered from eBay! So now I can make my "favourite bags" post. 


So, of course, starting with the newest bag. It's a black leather (haven't bothered to check if it's real.. doubt it) with golden metal parts and black lace in the front. Price was around 10 British pounds, so I think somewhere around 15€. 

^ Tadah! And the lining is very cute! Large dark brown polka dots :)

And has a long shoulder strap too, so I can carry it in many ways.

Next is the smallest bag I own, which I got from Lumous Festival XII (a "gothic" festival). Nothing that special about it (the festival), but the bag/clutch is very pretty and feminine. If I remember correct, this one was 20€.

^ Woah! I really love the huge flower it has. And the lining is cute too! <3

Ebay purchases 1. And happy International Women's Day!

Hello hello. I didn't get to post yesterday, I was a bit busy and getting up early was very tiring. So I spent all the bright time napping after I got home and then it was already dark outside, and I can't take any good photos with my cellphone if it's dark.

So, this will be my very first eBay purchase post. I'll be posting some of the most resent items I've got.

I've been really getting into golden accessories and jewellery lately, and I also wanted to try out some leopard print. Thank goodness we have eBay, so if something doesn't look good on me, I won't be losing much, since most items I buy are very cheap. :)

^ First is a pair of earrings and a hair piece (thought I prefer using it as a necklace).

^ And then I got two leopard printed scarves. The one on the left is bigger, and the one on the right is very slim and has small fabric "rose" to it. The rose has a clip so I can take it off and put on my hair if I want to.

^ Then I got some Japanese 100% cotton for my craft projects! I'm making some wall decor with these, I bought some frames today, I'll try to post more about them tomorrow. There were so many different kind of patterns to choose from, but I eventually decided on these three.

Last but not least, I got some cellphone rhinestone stickers and some loose gemstones. Going to decorate my cellphone covers with them. I'll see if I get to post about them tomorrow or the day after that. Going to make three different kinds. Wait for it ;)

.......

So there! Some of the new stuff I have. Probably going to get more next week. Also going to post about the wall decor I'm making. I'll be adding a link to the page I first found the ideas, in case someone else wants to try!

Did anyone buy something nice for themselves, or perhaps someone else? Or did someone receive something nice? Please share your thoughts!

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?
