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 !!

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me .

Ok guys so as it looks I'm gonna be back home end of this week. Where I have my camera and all my gear so even though I'm kind of breaking my blogging promise of not uploading shitty quality iPhone photos of my makes, I'm gonna go with "better this than nothing"...?


So this is today's look.












 Lotsalove !!

The only way is up .

So, yet again, as this ain't no lifestyle blog I will not go into any details of my private life but I've been through something that makes me rather unable and unfit to do makeups and be very active for a little while. Depending on my fitness and how I feel next week I can do things accordingly to that. But for ow, please bare with me. Will post tips about products etc but for makeups you will have to wait just a little longer. I've got a little treat for you though. A makeup I did on Sunday. Enjoy.

Inside my makeup bag .

Ok so as I was digging through my basic everyday makeup bag for my scissors I noticed something must've broke in there as I pulled out my hand and my fingers had turned brownish black. I realised its about time to do another little clean out of my makeup bag. I do this a few times a year as I want my makeup to stay neat and tidy. I wipe them off, in this case with a baby wipe as I happened to have some right there next to me. Very clever to take with you travelling, even if not having a child. And they are a great refresher if in a place where a shower is an impossibility, wipe off makeup and/or cleaning up any other other dirt on the body/hands. Ok, so I'm getting off track here but baby wipes are Great for loads !

So I have some unusual everyday items here. Meaning they're not my everyday items. I just had the photo shoot with Malin and some products kind if ended up where they don't belong as I concentrated on packing more important essentials for this weeklong holiday! 

I go makeup less pretty much every day. If you have the chance too, do it too. As it's do healthy for the skin to have a break, breathe and renew itself. But never forget to wash and moisturise properly anyways! Twice a day! Yes, I'm talking to you! You who do it once a day a few times a week - if you remember, often falling asleep with makeup on or washing it off poorly with loads of residue left on the skin and lashes when going to sleep. Oh even writing this and thinking about it makes me frown. And that's not a great look for me so let's move on.. 


Here's the dirty little thing. Need to buy a new one as this is too small and never been too greatly fond of it. 






I had a little helper putting it all back in its place.

Today's nails.

So I've got my apricot oil from Essie on, hence some small bits of dirt etc attached to my nails not looking picture perfect but hey ho. It won't kill you to look at :)

I've got Essie's millionails as base coat, two layers of Maybelline's Forever Strong PRO in 610 Ceramic Blue and Essie's Quick-e drops + Apricot oil after nails were all dry. 







Lovely light blue to match the denim on denim going on right now.

Bad internet


So I have these bad news about the Internet of where I'm at. I actually do have Internet... On my phone. The one on my laptop doesn't work and connecting my phones interned to my laptop didn't work either. It was too slow to get online. Hence, this week will be a bit slow. I don't want to post rubbish iPhone pictures of pretty makeups on here. I'm all about quality. Not quantity. But since I don't want to go a full week without any posts I will sacrifice certain products and as in this post, my nails for some horrific quality images. The dent on my pinky was a screw up on me but hadn't the chance to redo the whole nail so I just filled it in. 

So the Essie quick-e drops... Amazed. I'm amazed. The morning after I painted them within an hour of going to bed they had so little sheet marks that they looked slightly more matte than the glossy finish they should've. But nothing too obvious. I added a new coat that evening and same thing again only a little less matte than that morning. I've kept them untouched like this for nearly four days now. And whoever has a toddler knows what ones hands and nails go through in just a day. All the washing, scrubbing, cleaning, playing, you name it. It's amazing that I haven't had anything done to touch them up or completely redo them up until now. Just a tiny chip on two nails in total. Both on left hand which is a surprise since I'm right handed...
Normally, my nails would've chipped the first day!!
Today is nail pampering day. Out with the old, in with the new. Hand cream and lots n' lots of Essie's Apricol oil!
