Warm Summer EOTD

Today was yet another one of those warm, lazy summer days. You know, the kind of day where all you want to do is sit back on a porch, feet up with a cool drink in your hand and do nothing at all... well maybe except for refreshing the drink in your hand or to get more sun block. The kind of day where even the sun feels too lazy to move. Well, in the midst of relaxing I couldn't help but take in the beautiful scenery in our garden, in particular the beautiful colors around, so this is what todays face is inspired by.

I wanted to do the fresh green of the grass, the darker green of trees and add some warmth to it.

Eyes:
MAC Bold and Brazen applied on inner 2/3 of upper eyelid.
MAC Juxt applied all over lower lashline.
MAC Sumptuous Olive on outer third of lid.






Thanks for looking! ^^

Golden Brown FOTD

Hey Lovelies ^_^

A lot of people tend to think that brown can be a boring color especially for browneyed people but I don't necessarily think that it's the case if it's done right. Here I wanted to do a look where the colors complemented, tather than contrasted with my own colors, thus creating a softer more harmonious look.

A golden beige e/s was applied on inner corner of eyes, upper and lower.
A warm brown e/s was applied on mobile lid and focused on outer corner and crease.
Shadows then blended well with my fourth finger.
Brown/beige lipstick applied as well as cluster falsies.

Berry lips

Hi Lovelies ^_^

So, I was actually in the kitchen, baking the other day, a red berries mousse cake to be exact, when I realized what a beautiful deep red color the cake was. So that inspired me to do a FOTD with red berry lips.

The end product that inspired me:




I seem to have been baking a lot/producing various desserts lately but more on that in a later post. I will be taking pictures of my baked goods in the future and posting them on my blog.

..Anywhoodle, on to the look of the day:

I used a light sweep of mascara along with a light wash of pink shimmery e/s on the lids.
A bit of gel blush on the cheeks (I wanted to keep the make-up light save for the lips)
A berry-colored gloss (I used Lancôme Juicy tube in "Raisin" it actually smells and tastes like berries, hehe) applied on lips with finger and then using a q-tip I cleaned up the edges.

Olive EOTD

Hi Lovelies ^_^

I'm back with another EOTD, this time with a mineral eyeshadow I got from a recent haul. A fellow blogger makes these mineral eyeshadows that are handmade and vegan. Feel free to check out her store, there are an array of eyeshadows as well as blushes and powder: FormulaDminerals

So the eyeshadow I used here was from her collection and it's called Ms Olive. It's a gorgeous golden green eyeshadow with shimmer and what I did here was just a light wash all over my lids all the way up to my crease. I proceeded to line my upper lashline with black eyeliner, making it thicker as I extended it upwards and outwards. Falsies as the last step and voila.

Trip to Malmo, Sweden

Seeing as Malmo is not that far away from Copenhagen, we decided to take a one-day trip to Sweden just for fun. The Oresunds bridge that connects Denmark and Sweden was, when it was finished in 1998, the longest suspension bridge in the world with its 1624 metres.

The Japanese thought no way! If anyone should hold the record for longest suspension bridge in the world it should be us, so they built the Akashi Ksikyo suspension bridge that spans 1991 metres making our bridge in Denmark 1st runner up as of now.

When we got over there, after walking around for a while and doing some shopping for asian groceries (they have more variety over there PLUS things are less expensive) and seeing that it was pouring down, we decided to stop at this little tea room that served homemade hot chocolate made from scratch, yum!



Passionfruit cake


Cake with nougat;


Raspberry cake.


I saw this on the pedestrian street, I kinda liked it so I snapped a picture.


Not sure what this was but I liked the architecture.


The bridge I was talking about earlier in my post. As you can see it was pouring down and the shots I took were taken in the car so I apologize for the blurry pictures beforehand.






Hope you all had a wonderful weekend ^-^

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
