Useless facts ~ pt 02

Hiyah!
Here comes another useless fact.
...it will be like SO impossible for me to keep up this speed >_>
This time it will actually be about something that some
people have shown some kind of interest to...
my makeup.
I get a lot of comments for it - both good and bad.
Some really wonders what Im using and how long time
it takes. Sometime they even say that they get
inspired by it, and wanna try something similar.
Others tend to write angry comments about that
"I shouldnt call myself a feminist since I use so much makeup".
Well, go fuck yourselves, cavemen

Anyways, here goes a little something about what Im
using and how. Also, Im actually going to do something
I never use to; show myself without makeup.
I never go out un made.
That dosent mean I stand hours in front of the mirror
every day, but at least I tend to do a litte "fixing" before
getting my ass outside the door ^v^
Im going to be honest: I like to give a well dressed and
awaked impression. So Im going to.

So there you have me.
Without makeup...
Since Im naturally blonde, my eyebrows and eyelashes
tend to disappear a bit. Whats the deal with actually
having long eyelashes if you cant friggin see them?!
Therefore I use to color them a few times a year.
The close-up on my eyes is to compare with the
makeup version.

The top picture:
This is what I use as a base. To understand my makeup style,
you better know my personal ideal first.
Im a very pale skinned person, wich I actually
like about myself. Yes, I can say that I like something
about myself even thought Im swedish ;)
I like to bring out my eyes and focus on
contrasts. I guess even here Im typically estetic.
So - I use the lightest foundation that I apply
with a sponge in over my whole face (lips too)
except under my eyes where Im very dark.
Next I use powder (again ofcourse the lightest one).
Middle picture:
Wich I use forst of eyeliner, mascara or eyeshadow
totally depends of what Im going to do.
This time, its the mascara first (or well, the
eyelash curler). Second I use the white
eyeliner to fill in the line from the tear ducts.
This opens up the eyes and makes them look a
bit bigger. After that I use the black eyeliner to
make a precise line under my bottom eyelashes.
Finally Im applying a kinda transparent black
eyeshadow only on my eyelids closest to
the nose to bring out depth.
Bottom picture:
Final touches. You see the glittery eyeliner
I bought especially for new years eve;
its a shame to not using it after that so I
just put a tiny bit of it right under my tear ducts
to make a glossy look.
What do you mean Im
trying to look like a manga character??!!
Other stuff like hair clips and nailpolish.
Theres also a half-transparent lipgloss that
I use on top of the foundation to make
a more pinkish look on the lips.
Well thats all
...GodS Im feeling girly >_>;;

Tah-DAH!
Finnished.
I had to choose this happy-dumb photo XD
...some people would propably say "thats so you"

until next time <3

Useless facts ~ pt 01

Here goes;
Ive been told by several people that I should be
a bit more personal (at least in the LIFE secion)
and that I shouldnt be afraid to give out a little
bit more of my private life...
Im not so sure about that really;
I mean - Im that kind of person who easily gets
worried that Im fleshing out too much on everyone
that might not even be interested.
Is that just in my head?
Anyways, I never really liked when people cry out
too much in their blogs about their own problems
or people they dont like even thought I love to
read gossips ;3 Its still something turning me
off a bit. But very well - I can get private, but not
too private. Instead of just puking out how sorry you
should feel for me, I might think its a bit more fun
to read something kind of useless about me but
still something you maybe didnt know already?
Some stuff are actually a bit embarassing for me to
tell you, but you know how I am ~a bit wimpy.
Quite a bit.
So here goes;
Totally useless (but maybe interesting??) facts
about me part one

MY FASCHINATION FOR STUFF LOOKING LIKE OTHER STUFF

Ive always been a collector and I love collecting things I
can use in my daily life, but that is a bit spiced up by looking
like something completely different. I especially fancy the
fruit-topic, as propably a lot of you guys have already noticed.
Heres some examples I got laying around my flat

Bags bags bags. And this is just a few
of them I tell you. From the upper left corner you can
see the bag Im using right now; the left melon bag that
a lot of you have seen me carry around everywhere.
I have this bag to thank for still being able to go on a
child ticket on the Malmo busses...
Beside that one, theres a second melon bag (but non plastic
and with short handles) that I bought on the latest Malmo
festival flea-market. To the right there are a similar bag
that I bought on my latest trip to spain, looking like a orange.
The other one is a plastic make up nessesair that belonged
to my sister in the 80:s. Too bad they dont make stuff
like that anymore... Next ones up is the Totoro backpack
bought in Tokyo (ghibli shop). I always bring it on travels.
The last one is propably the one meaning the most
to me; my doggie handbag. This is the bag that
pretty much anyone would recognize me with.
I got it from a friends mom when I was small and Ive
been using it since then. But never as much as in the latest
years. Unfortunately (but obviously) a bag used that
much is ment to break sooner or later and Ive collected
a lot of little scars that I never managed to fix.
Someday Im going to sit down and fix them.
Im not complete without my doggie bag

Ahhh, here we go again;
more stuff!
MUGS! Gotta love them.
The bad ass shark was a gift from an old
boyfriend from junior high that he bought on
a class trip to London. Cute you might say,
but the reason he bought it was that he thought
it reminded him about me =_=;;
The Dobermann mug is also a X-boyfriend gift :3
But also still a very good friend of mine. He bought
it in germany 2005. More kitchen stuff; a timer looking
like a tomato and a salt and pepper-set looking like
carrot and beans. Next there is the Rilakkuma
toilet paper holder from Tokyo and a Chihuahua
piggybank from Lagerhouse. I like the fact that you "feed"
the chihuahua coins through his mouth.
The last one is the newest one; Nebels puppy
food bowls shaped like a cat. I love his evil look
