Valentines day: Romantic, Crazy, Anti

I thought I'd do a Valentine's day special post this year, since I haven't had so much time to prepare posts this week. So now you get 3-in-1 instead. :P Hope you like them! :)

As the name suggests this is a perfect look for a romantic Valentine's day date. It is easy to do and paired with vintage curls in your hair it is a definite success. Just be sure not to place the pinkish eyeshadow along the lower lash line, since it will give you eyes an unflattering "infected" look. Not too cute...

This is a look for them who don't like Valentine's day that much and want to state it with a bold, devilish look. Or actually, feel free to wear it for a romantic date if you'd like to. As long as you're comfortable with it! :) Warning! Make sure that the glitter you use is eye safe. I can't begin to imagine the pain of craft store glitter scratching on my corneas...
And oh, don't mind the grumpy face...

How are you guys going to celebrate Valentine's day? If you could go on a Valentine's date with anyone who would it be? :)

Thank you so much for reading and a big welcome hug to all my new readers and subscribers and a welcome back hug to the old ones! :)

Mint Chocolate

As mentioned in the Sugarpill swatch-fest post I am completely in love with Mochi. Although I really hate the taste of mint, I find mint green eyeshadow delicious and this one is just perfect. :)

The look I'm showing you today is inspired by this look by Jacqueline from abrilliantbrunette.com. I find that combining mint and brown is such an excellent choice, so I just had to try it. And here is the result. :)

For once I didn't use black eyeliner to create a retro-wing on my eyes! :P 

Nude lips to make the look more work appropriate and balance out the colorful eye-makeup. :) (I snapped this pic a couple of minutes before I left for work, that's why the piercings are absent).

Thanks for reading and hope you'll have a lovely weekend! :) 

Depend #357

If Shrek would lend his name to a nail polish this would definitely be the shade! I bet princess Fiona could use it as a nude color polish. Haha! :P

Although this shade is definitely unique I don't know if I'm completely floored. It is definitely not a shade that I would ever call beautiful since it is rather, well, ugly. But somehow I can't help but liking it. :)

My cuticles are a disaster at the moment so let's focus on the manicure please... I hate when my hands dry out this time a year and this far I haven't found anything that helps.

Have you guys tried any of the new polishes from Depends spring 2013 collection? Which one is your favorite? :)

Thanks for reading! :D

I have had a great week on work! :) Everyone - both customers and co-workers - are being so nice and it is great to be able to do something that I'm good at and that I really like doing. Since I work very long days I haven't had time to post this look until now. I actually wore it a week ago... But better late than never, I guess! :P

The rhinestones are inspired by how one of the models at heavyred.com wears her makeup. :) I don't know if I liked it a lot though... Looks good on her but I didn't quite feel comfortable with it.

Photoshopped green eyes...

Nude lips and a really playful hairdo. :) I really should wear my hair like this more often because I loved it. It isn't that obvious when looking at the picture but I have put up my hair in pigtails. Very Harley Quinn. :)

So, tomorrow I start my third week at my trainee job and now that I have started to get a hang of things I am going to set up some personal goals for myself.
I hope all of you have had a lovely weekend and that you enjoyed reading this somewhat tedious post. :P See you soon! Well, soon enough anyway...
