Just a quick update
I'm going to make a post soon (read: this week) about my Christmas present I received from my sister (Joik bath things giftset) and new book I just got today (So Bright and Delicate- Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawn) and I love it so much!

Christmas dinner in a gallery
I totally forgot about this post, it was written on the 22'nd, but I wanted to polish it a bit (and instead forgot all about it).
I see I forgot to write I had delicious beetroot pie and desert at the gallery. Loved the paintings too, and christmas music!

Random post: I just have to say it - I Love This Song
I'm not german, but I understand german language and I just love this song. They have other greate songs I love too! And I know it wasn't like a real band, it was made for a movie, but that doesnt change the fact that I love the voice of the singer, Jürgen Vogel. Ok, I think I am able to drink another cup of tea (that would probably be my 15th today or something like that, no just kidding, but I have had a lot, lot, lot of tea today!).

Little review: Bjobj Avena oat shampoo and conditioner, Dr Hauschka Rejuvenating mask and other hairtalk
has never happened before. I wonder if it was a good sign? (I'm still in the process of drying my hair).
My hair is still slightly damp, but I have to say that I like the products I used, I didn't put any leave-in conditioner in it and my hair is all nice and soft. Didn't really think it would work on my hair. I think I'm going to buy the full sized bottles to try if it really works for me- my hair is usally exited about new prodocts so trying it once doesn't mean much actually in my opinion. My hairtype is weak and dry, but gets oily on the roots and I wash it allmost daily (I know it's not good, but I can't help it).

My favorite things ( a little follow up to my introduction actually)

My first post- a little introduction
Ok, here I go :)!
I have had a blog before, but I discovered that I wasn't particulary good at keeping one, didn't like to talk about myself that much, but since I like (love) reading makeup blogs I thought that I'd give this a chance: I'll try to keep my own beauty blog...and book blog, since I adore books!
I have been into makeup my whole life, I can remember how mezmerising my mothers ultimate red lipstick was- the color was perfect for me (3years old at the time)! It had allso the perfect smell, I have never found that color again.
So the first contact with makeup was when I was 3. The next one was when I was about 4years old (or 5) and I had talked my mom into buying me my very own first makeup item- of course it was a red lipstick (what else would a little girl have wanted!), but it was not the best red color for me and it smelled bad, but non the less was I proud that I got my lipstick. My very first makeup. When I was 6 years old I got my next item- a ugly lightblue greas stick for eyes. It litteraly was greas, at least it was very greasy...and that blue was not my color! But I liked to play with it anyway!
I belive it was at 6years of age I discovered nailpolish, what other color then red- after asking repeatedly mo mother painted my little nails red one day. I was the happiest little girl!
Then there is a blur and I) can't really remember I played with makeup from age 6-11, but then came the age 12 and on a fair I saw the perfect eyeshadows (at least I thought so at the time) and I got my mother to buy them for me. Again, I was so happy, the funniest part, come to think of it now, was that she made me promise I use them, of course I promised it, and I did use them. They were pink-creme-brown kinds of colors and with my dark brown eyes and hair suited me very well. So I've been using makeup on a more or less daily bases for the last 12years.
I love how makeup can make me feel better, but I can go out without makeup to, no problem.
I'm 24years old. My skintype is oily and acne prone. My color not fair not medium, but something inbetween and with a yellow undertone. Eyecolor is dark brown, haircolor is dark brown too. Hair type straigh to wavy, rather dry and damaged, lenght- to the shoulders.
What I plan to do with this blog is to do some hauls, swatches (as I find them very helpful while searching information about products online) and reviews. I don't buy really expensive makeup (not saying I never will) and I am situated in Eastern-Europe.
I'm going to talk about books, since I love them. Probably I'll talk about other things to (movies, perfumes ect). I am going to post some pictures eventually.
This blog is purely for my own entertainment so don't take it thats seriously and my opinions are going to be honest and I they help someone I'm glad! Be kind to me, I have never had a beauty blog before :P.
OK, best wishes to everyone!
