Hey Lovelies ^_^



I decided to copy paste contest rules from my previous entry so you ladies won't miss out on the prize. It would be a darn shame if you made a lovely FOTD and wouldn't be able to win it. Remember to SEND your entry to me E-MAIL!

Copy pasted from my "Spring Look Contest" entry

Rules are very simple, make your very own version of what you see as a spring look. New looks only, old FOTDS are not accepted.

Please send: Product breakdown, step-by-step pics, closeups and whole face (full figure too with spring outfit if you wish) pics, to my e-mail: chyichyi@gmail.com please remember to write "Spring look Contest" in the subject line so I can sort out the contest entries. Feel free to post contest entries on ABB as well!

The prize will be an assortment of GOSH and Make-up Store cosmetics (picture will be available later) These cosmetics aren't widely available so this is an awesome prize!

Deadline for submission: April 30th. I will announce who the winner is on ABB and here on my blog as well two weeks after deadline. The entries in the contest will be posted as well. The winner will be chosen by me, so this will not be a popularity contest. Rules are subject to change at anytime without notice.

I will of course not be writing an entry without at least a picture of my eye make-up. The inspiration for this picture was found on the Sephora website.

Lancôme khôl pencil in black

CHOCOLATE FOTD + Update on Spring Look Contest

Hello Lovelies ^_^

I'm not going to deny it, I'm a chocoholic. I'm one of those women who view chocolate as a food up there right along the lines of proteins, carbohydrates and fibres and I have to admit that at times my chocolate intake scares even me!

So, this is something I've been wanting to do for a while, but just didn't get around to until now: An ode to Chocolate! (Note Chocolate is spelled with a capital C due to it's importance, well in my life at least)


Products used:

Lancôme khôl pencil liner in brown/black
Lancôme Oscillation mascara in black (L-O-V-E this product!)
Beige and red brown e/s from smashbox trio in Headshot
MAC Pigment in Chocolate brown
Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner in Chocolate shimmer ink

Lips:
GOSH lipgloss in 0059














Update on Spring Look Contest

I've decided that there will be a 1st 2nd and 3rd place (with prizes) in this contest as opposed to before where there was only going to be one winner so don't hesitate to enter. If you have some free time on your hands then whip up a spring look and send it to me.

For further info on contest rules go to my entry on the Spring look contest



I hope to see many entries!


Thanks for looking! ^_^

Chessboard

Hey Lovelies! ^_^

I was talking to my sister about what kind of make-up look I could do next when she suggested goth and geisha. Not really wanting to do those because they've been done so many times before we opted for something less make-uppy and more fun.

Here's the result we came up with, we both took turns in painting and I have to admit that I like the chessboard look. Don't know if I would wear it out in broad daylight but for an evening in, this is good.

~SPRING LOOK CONTEST!~

To kickstart or give you some inspiration, here is a picture that I did last year that was spring-related.




Good luck to you all and I hope to see lots of contest entries!

"Headshot" FOTD

Hello Lovelies ^_^

Whoa, can it be? Yes, I think it is... Another post by Chi! Dang, I'm just shooting 'em out. I think I'm making up for all those months hibernating.

So I think it was "Peppermints" a fellow beauty addict who recommended this eyeshadow trio from Smashbox cosmetics. It consists of a light neutral higlighting beige, a beautiful shimmery rose/peachy color and a dark red/brown.

The winner of this trio being the medium color, trust me when I say this, the camera does NOT do it justice. It's such a pretty rosy eyeshadow and the subtle gold shimmer in it makes it so pretty. It's my new favorite e/s for daily use ^_^



Products used:

Lancôme khôl pencil in black
Lancôme oscillation mascara in black
Smashbox e/s trio in Headshot

The lightest color applied on inner corners, upper and lower as well as browbone
The medium color applied all over lid up to crease
darkest color used to line upper lashline and outer 2/3 of lower lashline

Please excuse my bloodshot eyes, this is what I get for not getting enough sleep. -_-











Thanks for looking!

Amazing ability!

On my recent trip to China I saw several examples of people who were able to sleep whenever and whereever and more importantly however! We're not talking about someone leaning in over a desk for a powernap, nono these are some seriously hard sleepers!

Unfortunately I only have these two pictures because I was so awestruck that I plain forgot to take pictures.

For similar pictures from a German residing in China go: HERE This website has some amazing pictures showing people in poses you'd never think was possible to sleep in.

Now to MY two pictures:



This was taken in a park in Jinan when this sitting sleeper actually snored!




Haha! I love how he writhes "around" the armrests to lie down and get some shuteye. This was taken in Beijing Airport when we were waiting for our flight home to Denmark.


Hope you enjoyed this! ^_^

Music from my childhood :)

I came across this video on youtube a few days ago, just sitting by myself doing nothing as usual and one thing led to another. Before I knew it it was 2 am and waay past my bedtime.

This song: Everytime you go away, along with One more night by Phil Collins, were my favorite songs when I was 4-5 years old. While my peers ran around and listened to children's songs I rocked away to Paul Young, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and more. Why? My parents never bothered to have us lsiten to what other children listened to. So whatever my dad listened to I did too of course.

Imagine me as a 5 year-old kid where everytime my dad had friends over or company he would call me over and ask what song I would like to hear. In addition I couldn't really speak English yet, at that time it was limited to Chinese and Danish, so my answer would be something along the lines of this: WAAN MOAH NAII! (that would be: "one more night" in case any of you were wondering)

This of course generated not so few laughters so I did this just about everytime my dad entertained. Of course later on I grew out of all that and into whatever mainstream it was at the time to fit in. Gahd! Nowadays I can't even remember why I did that and I can't believe I let myself feel the peer pressure there.

Anywhoodle, listening to these 80's classics brought me back to a happy but distant time. A blast from the past so to speak and I'd just like to share that moment with you guys.

Enjoy!
