Flea market & Heureka trip!

It's been a while. Last time I mentioned about my trip to Heureka with two friends to see The Body Worlds exhibition. 
It was amazing! Science has come a long way, it's stunning. The way they preserve the bodies and organs. Wow. Definitely check it out if you dare.

Took couple of pictures while we were there. Mostly outside, the weather was nice. Barely any clouds and sun was shining (..burning). So I decided to wear a skirt that day. And even after a week my left thigh is still sore from the trip. :P
Nothing like sweaty and warm summer day with big thighs rubbing against each other until you bleed.

Anyway, I'll post couple pictures and then move on with my other story (Flea market haul!♥).
(I know I promised to make a post about nail varnishes, but it's taking me a lot longer to get done than I thought..)


^ The large "stone garden" of Heureka.


^ This pond was right next to Heureka and as you can see, the weather really is great.


^ We took quite a lot of pictures, but mostly with my friends better camera. I love this river that flows right next to Heureka, behind the pond from the last picture.


^ And yeah.. My pale feet! I'm surprised I didn't burn myself.

.......

Anyway, we had so much fun going there, even thought we had few problems... But hey, three baker-confectioners trying to figure out a car? I bet we looked so pathetic and lost so we got help without even asking for it.
And then we got lost... :D
But we finally made it to Heureka and had so much fun with those dead bodies.♥

.......

And that's all for the Heureka trip. Now it's time for my flea market haul!

It was last weeks umm... Wednesday I think, when I went out with my friend to check out one big flea market at Tampere centre.

At first I didn't really buy anything, since I didn't have a lot of money to use, but later my fiancé called and said that I could buy something more "expensive" if I wanted to.

So what did I get?


^ I don't know if I've told this yet, but I absolutely love Moomins! Anything to do with them etcetc. So I couldn't resist when I saw this canvas tote for 5€. And it has this tiny apron inside! It's a kids size, but I don't care. Maybe I'll make our cats wear it..


^ And yeah, more Moomin stuff. It says "Here lives" in Finnish.
I have two reason why I got this. My long time friend (we've know each other ever since we were four) had a plaque like this in her room, and I think it's still in that room, even thought she doesn't live there anymore. And the second reason was of course, Moomins. And it was only 50cents. ♥


^ And then I got some black and rose coloured ribbons for my crafts. 1,50€/piece, not bad.


^ And a RED bag! Oh my oh my! It was only 5€, in perfect condition and I just fell in love with it. I finally have a red handbag!♥
Really liking the crocodile skin pattern it has.. :3

.......

And the friend I was with actually got me something too! (Can't remember where it was from...)
Anyway, he had two and wanted to give the other one to me, and I got to choose from golden or blue. Golden of course, since I barely use blue.


^ Makeup! Aww yeah! I do like the turquoise eyeshadows too, works great with gold and browns.
And I love the nail varnish it has! Just perfect!


^ Yay! Also liking the lip gloss, even thought I rarely use them. Guess I just have to start ;)

.......

And that's it for today. I need to go and do my hair before I leave for Tampere centre again. Have some shopping to do before my trip.
Which I still have not mentioned. I am leaving tomorrow to go to Nummela! My little brother is graduating, so I'll be going there to help organize his party and meet some relatives. I'll be gone for a week, but I'll try to post something even when I'm there. :)

I can't wait! I've been working for a sugarpaste decoration for my brothers cake, and I also made a card for him. Maybe I'll try and make a small post while I'm there, and show you those! And everything else my mom and I will be making for the party.

Wait for it! See you guys.
Byebye!♥

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!♥
