tested

So I got new goodies. For one thing the palette for blue eyes by Pop Beauty (despite my memory there was no "Candy" involved in the brand-name. Must have been wishfull thinking;-) and a new hairstyling book....



I was exited when I saw this book on amazon and wondering wether it would be half as good as "Vintage Hairstyling" which is available on pinup-parade.com. It isn´t. Let me explain you why. A cool aspect is that it covers a wide range of hairstyles from pre-historic (but come on, most men just crawl out of bed looking messy - some even look like that all day to) the 90s (Grunge which I consider quiet similar to the prehistoric ones ;-) The 20s - 60s have not much of covering for my taste and this was what I looked forward to the most.

The men-styles are not very good and the women styles don´t really knock me out of my socks either. Most of the time I felt like "I could do better" and the person that made the book claims to have been hairdressing in movies for 30 years. I´m self-taught for 5 years and shake my head at this?! There must be something wrong. On the other hand there are 2 ideas or so that I actually find interesting and will probably use in future. However if you wonder if the book is worth buying I say you better go and buy "Vintage Hairstyling" if you don´t own it already.



Now to the Pop Beauty Palette.For my taste it is altogether too sheer in colour. I´m used to my high-pigmented makeup palette and the fab products of Bésame so  I´m probably totally spoiled. However I like the thought of just having a small palette to match my eye-colour to take on journeys. So I put tons of primer on my eyes and it was ok. I´m not sure wether I can use that palette for shootings and probably have to try around with it a bit in order to get stronger results but for every day it is ok. I ordered the same one for green eyes now and a silver shimmer edition though.  They sure caught my interest with the idea. Let´s hope I get an idea to improve it further ;-)

The ones I ordered now. Could you have resisted?  I hope it arrives soon so I can use it in Sweden.



Another thing I bought for travelling:



It´s a cleaning-milk, eye make up remover and toner all in one. I´ll put a bit of it in one of the small plastic bottles ( i don´t need the full one for one week) I bought for travelling and don´t have to carry around 3 different bottles in my luggage. A pretty clever product. I´ll test it tonight :-)

Saturday....

And it´s again one of those Saturdays! I didn´t manage to do the Vanity-cleaning yesterday, but today I finally managed... It´s all ready for pretty Bésame-items :-D And I heard they were shipped today (I don´t know if they put together both of my orders, though, but we´ll see). Curious how long it will take!

I also got my new Secrets in LAce stuff and just can´t stop wearing the Godess-bra. Eventhough I have tons of comfy bullet bras that one really takes the cake! I also got me the Dominique Tap pats (looks really vintage with those light beige lace) a black petticoat (I wanted one for years!) and off course the Diamond back seam-stockings. You can be sure to see at least a bit of all that in my next shooting which is planned for next weekend.

What else will I do today? I wanna make photos of some old stuff of mine and put it on ebay. I wanna try to do more sewing on that fab yellow blouse I started. I HAVE to buy food for the weekend. Saturday is also my beauty day, so I wanna do that, too. I wanna test face make up for my shooting next week as I try something special. Refill my water-colour containers with lipstick. Eat only vegetables till the evening. John works extra-long today so I might manage it... Or maybe not ;-) There was something else, but I totally forgot what it was....

Weeeeeeekend

Dear readers, friends and others ;-)

A fresh new weekend! Yiphie!!!

Ok, where do I start... I have fanatstic News for all the ladies that long for Bésame Cosmetics, but have a small wallet... They are having a sale on ebay with products that they liquidated: http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZcosliquidatorQQhtZ-1"
I don´t really need to tell you that I took the vanity case, the Cool set and the glazes, right? It´s a great chance to get high quality make up for both daily life and photoshoots for a extremely low price. Oh I love sales!!!

I actually wanted to finish some cute shorts that I started to sew... But...well... the past evenings my boyfriend and me watched the first season of "Scrubs" and at least 6-8 episodes in a row each evening. Oh I love that show. It´s the only hospital-series that I can seriously enjoy ;-) But well.... I will continue with the shorts NOW!

Today I got a email that 4 of my photos will be featured on http://www.fotocommunity.de at the 13th of May between 0:00 am and 1:00 am (MET). It´s funny cause eventhough I had seen other features there before it never occured to me that I could ask them since I´m not really mainstream or a typical example of a user. So I was incredible surprised they asked me. It´s a pitty that probably most of the users will be out to party or will be sleeping by that time, but hey... I don´t complain about some extra-exposure ;-)

That´s all folks!
