Today's look; Black/brown soft smokey eye.

Keep it simple. Keep it soft. With an added little pop of freshness and colour.

Never mind my hair. It has indeed seen better and fresher days however I'm in the middle of nowhere and letting it rest, for it's own good.....

I don't know just how it happened. I let down my guard.

Hi guys!

Sorry for the bad update on the blog. The internet connection has been insanely bad. Here's however loads of pics on a makeup look I did today. Something very soft an summery. I prefer the look with nude glossy lips however if someone needs a bit more of a colour-pop then a bright pink or purple-ish lipstick would be a great addition to complete the look.
I've used a white shimmery eyeshadow with very light pink undertones, in the inner corners of the eyes, a coral-y blush as eyeshadow on the middle of the lid, and then smudged it all out with a medium grey eyeshadow to complete the look and give some soft smokey-ness and definition to the eye.
Hope you enjoy!

I can't remember to forget you.

So for about a week or so I've been sporting this super sexy eye infection on my left eye. Good thing red is a good colour on me. And even better, that in case I'd feel like changing up the colour scheme for one day and not being so red, hats suits me rather well too !

Needless to say I've been going utterly and completely makeup less for the past week - "or so"..

My lips on the other hand, has gotten a few moments of pampering.... Here's a little taster on what they've been up too lately.

Your like a shot of pure gold. I think I'm 'bout to explode.

For todays look I went with something really quick and simple, yet I found my inspiration in a few comments I saw on a site last night. I can't remember the site as I was just flicking though pages randomly surfing the net while trying to stay awake waiting for my sis who wanted to fashionshow for me. It was some video post about this summers biggest trend of orange/peach/coral colours and quite a few had commented on that particular post that, well basically, that the video was quite bullshit as thy couldn't wear any of those colours in a million years. Well I'd like to disagree and I also did so while commenting offering those who feel this way to contact me though my blog and I will 'do them up' and prove them wrong. Find a "never in a million years"- colour that suits them perfectly. As they mentioned themselves that it's not just about the colour. It's just as well about any shade of that colour.

Well let me tell you my lovelies why I so strongly disagree and why I'm up for the challenge to prove a.n.y.b.o.d.y who disagrees with me, wrong!

It's not just about the colour nor just about the shade. They play a massive part, yes. Don't  get me wrong but it's equally as much if not more up to how it's applied and how the rest of the face is made up. You need to find a harmony in the face. If your very pale and a little bit of a wallflower and not about to walk out on the catwalk for a fashionshow you obviously should stay way clear of MAC's brightest matt orange lipstick. Depending on the look one goes for and what type of style and personality one has, the colours has to harmonize and complement each other on the face.

Myself I've been a massive "never in a million years" kind of person and not even as a teenager but just a few years ago I felt this way about orange especially. Not anymore though as I, to my joy, proved myself wrong.


Here I'm sporting orange on the lips and coral on my cheeks.

And to complete the look I kept clothes quite natural. LOVE beige ...

And to add a pop of colour in the spirit of the makeup;

What do you think What's your "never in a million years" colour?

Cuz I never knew what I wanted, 'til I looked into your eyes.

Only 5 days more of super quality pics after this! Hang on lovelies, it can only get better once you're at the bottom! whoooa am I being depressing or cheerful? ha!

I'd be a nightmare to be around as we speak. My cousin already had a little taste of it and unfortunately enough she's got more coming but I've got a little case of diarrhea of the mouth and I can't stop babbling once I start. Super happy mood despite the rainy weather. For some reason I'm just loving it, loving life loving all the people around me. Gonna grab me umbrella and take a little stroll in the rain now I reckon. Summer rain smells so amazing.

Enjoy todays; soft purples.

oh and here's todays nails, just simple and classy.

Lots of love and kisses to all of you. Hope you're having as lovely a day as I am !!
