Shy wednesday
If you thought that yesterdays make up was modest, then that was nothing compared to todays make up! Today is as modest as I think I can get. Will compensate tomorrow by looking somewhat like a clown.
Actually it's because I didn't sleep at home today as planned, so I didn't have access to my humongous stash of eye shadows ;P

I'm so happy today, because my skin's getting so much better. I didn't post any pics of me while it was at the worst. I do use prescribed skin creams against acne. Because let's face it: noone who's out of their teenage years should have acne. It's not normal. Not even when you are a teenager it should be this much of a problem. Anyone who thinks they have a lot of acne, pay a visit to your doctor (preferrably a specialist om skin and acne) and talk to them about it.
Back to me! :P Since I changed my loose mineral foundation to MAC studio sculpt my acne has been getting a lot better. Sanna thought it might be because my mineral foundation contained bismuth, but it doesn't. My guess is that it made my skin too dry, and because of the dryness my skin got irritated. Because during the hot, humid and sweaty summer months my loose mineral foundation is king.

Klick on the top row images for bigger versions :)
What do you think of having the full face shots as smaller, klickable images?
Does it speed up the loading time of the blog? Or is it simply iritating having to klick on each one of them?

Oh yeah...
That's right. I told you that I was at the MAC counter today... again :P
Well I just had to ogle a bit on the Creme team-collection. Erika bought the "Lickable" lipstick, and I'm tempted to but it too. That one, and I think it was "Crosswires" that I liked most.
I also looked for prep+prime for Puritys sake, but they were out of it again. But I did find some darlings for myself... he he.
Studio sculpt foundation in NC15 and the Mineralize skinfinish in "light". That's a pressed powder, for those of you who aren't MACoholists.
Speaking of MACoholists... I'm beginning to feel it!
I've already praised the Studio sculpt foundation in this entry but I missed mentioning another good thing about this foundation... no more pumps!
The pumps to other foundations costs extra, but with this really smart tube packaging, you don't need to pay a little extra for convenience.
Orange and red
This FOTD is inspired by a t-shirt I got. Actually, it's one of my favourite tees!
It's bright orange, with a print in black and red of some tree or bush and a peacock sitting in it. I think it's supposed to be a cherry tree in blossom, the flowers are red, and the peackock is black with silver glittering dots on. And there's some asian signs on. I can't tell you what kind or what they mean (probably something like "noodles with this and that seasoning only $1.99) but I love this t-shirt! The colours are so bold and in your face, but the print is soft and harmonious.
Anyhow! I was thinking how to do a make up for this. I was to hold a lecture today and I didn't feel that red lips would be suitable for that lecture... and I didn't want to go too soft on the make up either. I've done a yellow/orange make up like this but it didn't feel right!
So what did I do? I started with a base of UDPP över the whole lid and up to the brow. From the crease and up I did MAC "shroom" as a highlighter and then MAD minerals orange pigment "trust fund" on the lid. Then under the eye as well. It didn't feel good, so I was just about to put some MAC "platinum" when I changed my mind and ran to get the MAC "basic red" pigment instead. And I'm happy I did!
Probably would siut better with red lips... or would that be too much? I is fancy friday today... but still?
Share your thoughts with me!

Lips:
MAC lipstick "crosswires" (I think) over MAC lipstick "kanga rouge"
Explanation: Was at the MAC counter trying out lipsticks from Dame Edna and Creme team-collections. Kanga rouge stained my lips in a vivid pinkish red that didn't really want to give in to the wipes. Well well! :P
Another grimed green make up
Sara who runs Ninja Minerals gave me a free sample of a gold pigment she's working on, for me to try out. I love the colour, the texture and how easy it is to work with. If you've ever tried the MAC pigment "teal" or TMM pigment "centaur" then you know how easy they are to apply. This golden shade is just as easy to work with.
It's a red toned gold, something I'm not used to. I buy golden, grimed, greenish or brownish goldes. So this was a great addition to my range of goldes! I bet this colour will look great with TMM pigment "centaur" and "occult". Will try that c

Premiere! (NOTD)
This is my first Nail-Of-The-Day! I don't wear nail polish very often, but today I felt like it.
This is two different Depent nail polishes, with a top coat also from Depend.
The colours are no.119 for the gray one and no.132 for the blue.
Daylight, no flash and daylight with flash.
