Finally... a new look! :)

Hello everybody!

Well, I was going to be more active here but then, all of a sudden, I got the next advancement in my career and with the new responsibility comes a lot of extra hours at work. Not that I'm complaining, I love my job and I am so grateful I've come this far. :)

Anyway, I'm trying to get the time to take photos of the looks I wear for work and today this is the look I wore.

I didn't manage to take a full face shot before I had to rush to the tram, though.

Yesterday I arrived home from London, where I've spent 3 days on vacation with my boyfriend (yes, I have a new boyfriend, and he is, in my opinion, the most beautiful man in the universe). :) I'll tell you all about it in the next post when I have had time to browse through the photos. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you'll all have a great day! :)

Red & Black Week: The Passion of Lovers

So, I'm back from a long period of blog hibernation. The situation has not changed though, so the posts will probably be as rare as ever.
Thank you everyone for your support on my latest post. :) It means a lot to me to know that you care.

I'm so very happy that I was able to do at least one post for Red & Black week this year. I've been looking forward to it since last year but due to the unforeseen circumstances mentioned in my previous post I haven't been able to prepare any posts or do any looks.

But the other day I got so inspired by the feelings that has been wrecking havoc in my heart for the past month, and so, this look was born. :)

As well as my bats, these are made by PK at Haven Tattoo Parlor. :) 

So, there you go! :) I hope you liked the look and I really hope that we will see each other soon! Thank you so much for bearing with me and for your patience during my hiatus. Have a lovely day!

The Ever-Changing Course Of Life

I feel that another explanation is needed here. Another period of life-chaning decisions hit me like a high-speed train and suddenly so much has changed in a very short span of time.

First thing that happened was that I got promoted at work. I will now be assistant manager, a job that carries with it elevated levels of responsibility and heavier work loads. This means that I am going to leave the counter that I have been working for and move to the second biggest MAC counter in the country. I'm thrilled beyond words!

Second thing is something that I'd rather not talk about but I feel that the people who read my blog (and most of all you who read posts like this one) are my friends and that I need to tell this to you because it is such a big piece of my life. The thing is that my relationship ended and since I lived with my ex-boyfriend I have to find a new apartment, and am currently at the mercy of kind people who let me stay with them for a while until I've managed to find a place of my own. Almost all my stuff are still in the old apartment that I shared with my ex and, thus, I can't really take pictures of my makeup looks at the moment.

First Tattoo! :D

Yesterday was a fabulous day where I got my first tattoo! Bats of course, is anyone surprised? ;)

Tattoo by PK at Haven Tattoo Parlor 

It's so awesome I can't help staring at it all of the time! :D I already want to do more tattoos so I bet that within a few years I will be a living painting. Haha! 

Sci-fi Eyes: Utopia

Well, this is going to be the first entry in a makeup series that I am going to do, that will probably be given one post a month, or something like that. I'm calling the series "Sci-fi Eyes" since the inspiration is - of course - sci-fi.
