Storms, Movies and Shopping

Wow, another update, I think I'm definitely getting better, huh?
Thursday and friday there was another storm with hurricane strength in Denmark, it's worth a mention, since it's rare for Denmark for have such extreme weather, especially because there's just been a storm in October.
anyways, I live right by the coast, which meant worse weather than most places, a lot of roads has washed away, property damaged, and broken trees in all backyards.

I walk under this tree every morning, it's uprooted, but hasn't been removed yet - and a heavy fog covered most of the northern Island, usually I have a clear view of the horizon, but not today.

Yesterday I went to Copenhagen with babulicious, to look for christmas presents, use my bonuscards at H&M, get hairdye and watch Catching Fire.

We went to our regular mall, and of course had dinner at The President, because their burgers are just... yes please. All their burgers are named after american presidents and ministers, my favorite one is Quincy Adams - Mie had Nixon.

 

My haul is simple, but very lovely I must say.

I've eyed the flower shirt the few times I've been to h&m, and if you look back you can see I found a Pug T-shirt that I wanted, but this one.. This one is much better 8D

I've been running low on my toner and decided I might as well get two dyes, so I have good stock. I use the Directions Lagoon Blue with loooooads of conditioner to get the pastel tone :D

Are we going to discuss this tub of popcorn and coke?  I believe we are!
I always want a large coke when I go to the movies, because medium just doesn't cover my needs. But I guess that's only in my usual theatre, because CinamaxX's large is A LITER OF COKE. Thank you but no thank you. I've learned my lesson (didn't even finish half! While Mie ate all of the popcorn XD Hunger Games indeed)

 I really liked the movie, it was more flawed than the first one, in the sense that they've changed up the timeline and the time and action of a lot of interactions, but actually also used DIRECT text to speech from the book, which I personally think is awesome and adds flavour.
I'm currently more than halfway through the book, and I'm pretty happy I didn't get to finish it in time for the viewing, because I would probably have been too distracted by the changes. Other than that, I will hop on the bandwagon and say that Jennifer Lawrence is an UH-mazing actress, if the movies could be 5 hours long, I believe that she could embody Katniss' character perfectly. Also.... I ship her with Peeta so much in the movies, because Josh Hutchersen is such a sweetie Peeta, can we just.

ALSO, if you're interested in movies like the Hunger Games, but also a flavor of the Bourne universe, you should look up Hanna, I was pleasantly surprised by it and thoroughly entranced throughout.

simple outfit, since I had school before going out 8D

"Girl with the Parasol" & New Make-Up Palette!

Over the last few weeks I've been working in cooperation with the danish National Museum on their new exhibition "The Girl with the Parasol", where I've been asked to administrate the 'living picture' part, which is - if you haven't already guessed - cosplay.
We launched the exhibition friday and opened to the public today, and I've been hostessing with a few other cosplayers, which was a very new experience, but very exciting and I enjoyed it a lot.



If you live in Denmark, or are visiting over the next 5 months, you should definitely have a look at the amazing art that is displayed, and I personally and other costume makers will be there hostessing and creating events during some weekends!

Friday after we got off, me and Mie went to get some dinner and then had a quick look-see around town, and since I really wanted to oogle some Urban Decay we went to look at make-up.
Passing through Sephora, which I've done a few times, always just rushed before, because I couldn't deal with the prices, but yesterday we took our time and I found a palette that I really really liked.

I've been itching to get some shiny eye shadows, since most of the once I own are matte, and shimmer just gives a much more alive effect when you do costume make-up (and party make-up for that matter!)

I found this "Front Cover" Hot Shades Cool Colours, and I just knew I had to take it home after I'd tried some. All the colors I could use and with just the right amount of shine to them, yeeesss.

My two favorite colors are definitely Flash and Spark, I can't wait to play with this!

The packaging itself is definitely theme based, and something I think Front Cover does a lot, I'm not really for or against it, but I do feel that the bottom layer could easily break off when opened D:

Also as you can see my hair is now a nice shade of pastel blue and I'm really really satisfied with it at the moment, it'll be hell to keep, but I do actually feel a little more mature with this - the lipstick helps too of course :P

My top 6 Favorite Haircolors

It's no secret that I'm a very vigilant dye-harder, and I've been through my share of haircolors, and thought, since I'm a good place with my haircolor, that I'd do a look-back on my all-time favorite hair colors.

Here we go!

No. 1 - Wine Red

My all time favorite is definitely my dark red hair, I almost NEVER dreamt about other colors. Even though it was a slight bitch to maintain, it inspired me the most, and I felt very confident in this.

No. 2 - Matthew "Dumbo" Nguyen inspi - Black/Red

I imidiately fell in love with Dumbo's variation of this hair, and I felt very awesome having it, since I'm just the biggest sucker for obvious two-tone hair. I didn't have it for too long, but never ONCE hated having this dye.

No. 3 - White Hair

My current hair, it's on my list of 'most want'-haircolors, and even though it's a pain to maintain, and it takes a toll on your hair and it's very easy to mess up, which gives me down days. But it's just, ugh. I feel young, but grown-up and just right, I'm so happy that I made the transition from darker hair to this. So far I've not had any dreams of changing.

No. 4 - Purple~Red

A color I got while in Japan, and it was the biggest bitch EVER to maintain, like dying my hair every 4th day. But ugh, I thought it looked so bad ass when it was newly dyed. (My white shirts didn't though)

No. 5 - Black

Easy, breezy, black. My hair almost always felt healthy and I think solid black hair is extremely gorgeous, but it's definitely a back-up color of mine, since I get bored of it easily.

No. 6 - Orange

Not many are into this color, especially when it's not natural, but heck. I feel awesome whenever I have orange hair, it's an unusual color to have, when you got my hairtexture, so every time I stumble into it, I do have a few weeks of awesome feels.
Though now I don't know if I'll ever go back to it willingly, because it is stepping over some boundaries, even for me

Make-up 2006-2013

Since I've been make-upless most of this week because of sickness, I thought it would be fun to see how I've used make-up for the last 6 years... wow... six years.. That's a while, haha. And I will feel free to say that I've gotten A LOT better.

None of the pictures have been photoshopped.

I started out with just some mascara and eyeshadow, very very discount eyeshadow, but I didn't want to use a lot of money on it at the time.




Then I got my first pencil eyeliner, and oh gosh was this a party, I also started getting interested in alternative styles around this time. Still hadn't started plucking eyebrows at this point.




This is a drunken photo, but I still imagine that this is pretty much how I looked in my everyday, still only used eyeliner and mascara. But tried to make the eyeliner appear darker.




The scenekid style started appearing around this point, and I fell in love with the make-up, especially the pink shade ALL AROUND the eyes, and I thought I looked badass. I did however get more control over my eyeliner.




But then I thought Visual Kei looked way better. I shaved off my eyebrows and wore black eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner. I also started using dry foundation around this time.




I 'perfected' the look with some white eyeliner, and wore this for the longest time, and I still think that I actually did a good job with this very very dark look. Even though it was waay too much for everyday, haha.

I started experimenting with adding colors, and the look also got darker. What a mess. 

I started using circle lenses every time I dressed up, and my eyebrows were still almost completely gone, believe it or not, there's actually some hairs there. But thin eyebrows were still all the rage.

This droppy-eye I kept for an entire year, and I loved how it looked. I think I got the idea from gyaru with their droopy eyes, I only used liquid eyeliner and black eyeshadow at this point, which probably saved my skin after the previous years of over-using

I moved again and changed up the droopy effect, so it wasn't as bottom heavy, because I wanted to use more colors. And started letting my brows grow out.

I started using an orangy-red on the bottom outer corner, and did this for a long while, it just gave the look something.

 

Before changing up the look I started using darker eyeshadows again. And my eyebrows grew out almost completely.

And this is pretty much how it is now, I used liquid liner, mild orange colors of and black eyeshadow and false eyelashes. The outerpart of my eyebrow is also shaved off, to get a higher arch.
