Hey-hey heeeeeey!

Here’s the first look I uploade on Instagram. It wasn’t the first look I did though – but it fit better in the feed and color wise and…. yeah. 

As you can see my attempt to curl my hair sorta failed ._. I don’t remember when I last formally wore flowers in my hair, so that was a challenge too. Just hairstyling in general, doesn’t work out for me, and it’s such a shame since my hair SO long at the moment. I really tried and I hope you can see the hard work I put into it 😭.
In all three looks I’ve just mix’ matched some pieces from my traditional attire. So you’ll probably never see me wearing those combinations in real life (or that nose-ring for that matter) 😂. 

Makeup details will be up in the next post with the actual first look I created (since it is the same makeup look). The only difference in the makeup is I changed the lip color. In this look I’m wearing NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Berlin and topped off with Lancôme L’Absolu Creme de Gloss in 357 Rose Mythique. ♥

Hey guys!

I know the title says “Anti-social club” – by that I mean I’m the only member. I’ve been drowning in studies and hadn’t seen the daylight for days since I’ve been on and off sick and studying at home. Since my mom and sister had holiday, they came by during a week-day to take me out for lunch. When they came they could see how I’d locked myself inside my apartment for days. They even noticed I got thinner and paler, which is in my opinion quite bad!
I haven’t been to fitness for a month now and been overly lazy when it comes to cooking and grocery-shopping. Hopefully by the end of the month I can get started on training and eating healthy again.

Anyways, we got lunch at the town and I ordered a steak for the first time – delicious actually. I’ll keep you updated once in a while. Sometimes I need a quick break from all the studies, so either the blog or my books are my escape 😉 ♥

Hey peeps!

My sister and I found this graffiti wall in our small town and decided to use it as our background, since we’re running out of locations in the neighborhood. Also the weather wasn’t helping the lightening situation. The pictures didn’t turn out the way I wanted them – we couldn’t find the charger to my sister’s camera so we had to improvise with iPhone quality and it got dark quickly -.-

Besides from constantly complaining about things – check out my new jacket! I bought this jacket on sale and was broke for the rest of the month ._.
It’s a black denim jacket with black shepherd inside and on the collar. I use this for winter and can use it during the spring time. I’ve been wanting a denim jacket with shepherd collar (borg) for over a year now, and finally got one. Yaaay! Hopefully I can get some better shots with the jacket 🙂 ♥

Eeeeeeey! It wouldn’t be my post if it wasn’t published some days later, hehehehe. Happy belated valentine’s day!
Today I bring you a chrome cut crease – I didn’t want the look to be too pink so I added a champagne-ish color from inner-corner to the center and cut the crease with a rose-gold chrome glitter shade. All this, presented on a bitch-resting face. 

I’ve been busy studying – it’s just getting more and more tough, and so stressful. So I took some hours off and put on some makeup and relaxed for a bit, even though I was going nowhere. I also decided to take a few days off Instagram to get my stuff done. I’m honestly spending way too much time on it and decided it would be better for me if I reminded myself that what’s really important is, that I’m present and doing my work as first priority. I get easily distracted, and so far it has been going well. 

Besides, it is my birthday week, but I’m not sure if I’m going to celebrate this year, since there’s a lot to catch up on -.- ♥

Hey guys!

First of all; this is a little sneak peek of what I’ve spend my mini holiday on at home. All in all I did 3 looks with 1 makeup-look. 

Uff, I know it’s a lot of lightening happening on me, and lots of contrast/shadows in the background. I actually started to like this kinds of pictures – I’ve taken pictures like these before for my “Sprinkle of Ruby and Jasmine” post (here). It brings the focus on the main object (and less on my messy room 😂).
The technique to get pictures like those – oh btw, I took these with my low quality iPhone 5s – I sit in front of the window with no lights in the room, besides from the daylight coming through the window. 

Here’s the thing about taking pictures in daylight with and without a window in-between: 

By having a window as a middle-object, the direct natural light will be shine on you indirectly. The indirect natural light is more diffused/soft compared to the direct light. Also the soft light will mainly hit the front object (in this case your face) and make you look brighter than the background. 
I’m obviously no expert on photography skills, but this is what I’ve found out while taking pictures. It also explains why the car-selfies has better lightening 😂. 

To end this post, I’ll reveal that I won’t be posting any of those pictures I took until I’ve posted them on instagram. I’ve been so bad at posting things at the same time, mainly because I have my pictures ready-made for weeks. Whereas the posts on my blog just goes on whenever I’m done writing them or get the time to publish them -.-.
I’ll try my best to be better at the post-timing. ♥
