In the mood for Lilac

Hi Lovelies ^^

I thought it would be time for another EOTD and since it's been a while since I wore anything violet, I wanted to steer my eye make-up in that direction. Also, for the last couple of days with raining and low degrees, the sun today really got me in the mood for spring.

This EOTD is inspired by the lilacs in the nature, or rather in my neighbours garden.

Eyes:
Maybelline sky high curves waterproof mascara in black
MAC Lotusland e/s applied all over lid and on inner lower corners as well
MAC Top Hat e/s applied and focused on outer lower and upper lashline as well as crease, then blended.

Lips:
Neutral beige-pink lipgloss





Comments and criticism welcome (Yes, I know I forgot the eyebrow gel, so please excuse my unruly brows lol)

Just as a reminder, the 60 followers giveaway ends on Friday midnight GMT +1 so if you haven't signed up yet, please feel free to do so.


Thanks for looking!

Cherry on Top award ^o^


The sweet and lovely Huong from the blog London's Boutique just gave me an award. Hehe, not sure I deserve this but I was surprised and happy to hear the news. Thank you so much!

The Rules:

1. Thank the person that gave this to you :)
2. Copy the award and put it on your blog.
3. List 3 things you love about yourself ♥
4. Post a picture you love (e.g a person you adore etc.)
5. Tag 5 people you wish to pass this award on to :)

Okay, so 3 things I love about myself. Ehm... erh...

(You're right Huong, this IS hard! I have no problem finding 10 things I dislike about myself but I have a hard time finding just 3 things I DO like)

Okay, I'm back! I actually left my comupter, went into the kitchen to make panna cotta in order to think about this one. Something about being in a kitchen has a therapetic effect on me and I think I have come up with something now.

1. I like the fact that I'm a nice person, helpful and always want to see the good in people. (could be good AND bad)

2. I like my eyes. They're the only part of my face I do like. Everything else resembles my dad (he's not very goodlooking) but my eyes are from my mom. She's such a beautiful woman. (Why couldn't I look more like her? Mh..)

3. Okay one more... #3 erhm... I can do this, come on! *exhales* ... ah! I have it! I like the fact that I have a knack for learning languages and that I'm multilingual. Does that count? I really don't know but itøll have to do cause I can't think of anything else right now.



This is a picture of me and my siblings. I obviously like them a lot (duh!) but I think it's a funny picture, sure there are plenty of nice and cute ones but this one's better :) I believe my brother was around 6months old and my sister and I both wanted to hold and kiss him and he protested by bursting into tears!

I tag:
EtheralPrey
Fuzkittie
Nicnic
PopChampagne
Donnarence

Have a nice one!

Look at what I got!

My brother was being very secretive for a few days and I just couldn't figure out why. He made mysterious phone calls and would walk out of a room when I entered but it all made sense when he came carrying home with this little guy. He got me this as an early birthday present ^o^



The first day he was really nervous and still had to get used to the surroundings. But I let him jump around and get accustomed to the place and slowly he's getting used to it. He even tried to climb over on my lap the last night as I was playing Modern Warfare. Great timing little bunny, just as I'm about to make a shot he tickles me as he jumps over. XD



Isn't he cute? He is so soft especially behind the ears on the neck. Haven't named him yet, still going back and forth between: Chocolate or Poop. What do you guys think?

I can't remember what the subject was but all of a sudden we came up with the idea of dressing up my grandma. So my brother found his uniform, a toygun and aviators. At first my grandma had no idea but she soon found out and played along.


Having fun


Doesn't she look badass in this picture?


Strike a pose!

I was in the mood for something sweet but didn't quite know what. Besides supermarkets had closed so this is what I came up with:


Pancakes! My bro had been talking about IHOP for a while and since he didn't get to go to NY due to some volcanic activity I decided to make him some. Not the European crêpes but the american version he specified.


Brownie :) Unfortunately I was all out of walnuts and I suspect someone had taken my pecans so I just chopped up some hazelnuts instead. Here served with some sour cream cause I didn't have whipped cream on hand.


Thanks for looking! ^o^
