Big bow + Snowscene = True!
Woke up on sunday and felt that yes, I probably have a hole in one of my teeth... so the collective went on a road trip to Karlstad to get pierced!
Our friend Erika is a piercing apprentice, so I found it convenient to make another hole in my mouth. Nothing visible though!
Been dying to try out my new eye shadow palette. And also the lippie combination I used today. I swatched Big bow on my hand and tried it out with a few glosses on top. That's a great way to find inspiration. Todays choice of eye colour was piched from the glitters I found in this lippie combo.

Yesterday I did something unusual. I PLANNED todays makeup! What a weird thing for me to do, hehe.
Anyway, I realy felt like a purple makeup... but today I couldn't find my primer! What is up wth me losing it all the time?
Don't know how I'll pull off tomorrows makeup with "sharkskin" as a base... hm.
Elvis and "devil in disguise" as a theme song for todays makeup, thanks to Spotify!

Shopping schmopping
Did you think I managed to leave the MAC counter empty handed after the makeup yesterday?
Oh no siree! I did not. I picked up the "Too dolly" palette and "Fun and games" beauty powder blush. I almost got the "deep blue green" pigment too, but my card was failing again (2/3 of my purchases aren't approoved, so weird) and so I lent some money from my roomie.
Oh, and that's another fun thing! :D
I brought my roomie and her daughter, who insisted of holding both our hands the whole day, making us look like a couple. In Sweden we have several words for how you live, measured by social status.
E.g. Sambo = an unmarried couple living together, Kombo = friends living together, Mambo = living with your mother and so on.
Once my roomie reffered to me to a salesman as "my sambo blablabla and she" and the salesman justlost focus and she could tell he was thinking "ok, hold on, is this girl gay?" and we've been joking about it ever since.
Today, walking around in town, both of us holding my roomies daughters hand was like taking that funny story to a whole new level!
Ok, ok, I know you're here for pics and swatches of my shopping, so here they are!
Oh! I also picked up this little darling thing from a trusted e-bay seller! :D
PS: don't buy MAC off E-bay or Tradera unless you know who or what you're dealing with, 99.99% of it is fake!
Swatches of all the lippies below. Plus "nice to be nice" lipglass. Swatches of the eye shadows are coming... when I find my yet again lost eye primer.
Sunday; I've returned
Ok, so the plan was to take the Thursday night ferry to Finland and go to the funeral. Didn't feel very well on Wednesday, and woke up with fever on Thursday morning, that lasted until Friday evening. Double angst and sorrow, for being ill and missing out on the funeral. Cried a lot during thurs-fri and my eyes are still swollen from that... Also I got a MAJOR breakout when being ill, and I'm still trying to get rid of it :/
But I feel fine now. Been out playing with the three year old, met up with dad in town for a fika (why isn't there a word for that in english?) and got a makeup done by the MUA Åsa at MAC Åhléns city :D
A great day, and what a celebration for getting well!
Åsa asked if I wanted a colourful or a smokey makeup. Those of you who've come to know me will probably guess my answer, right?
All in one! Ha ha, I had such a hard time to decide. The Hello Kitty event ended today, but during the event you could book a 30min free makeup. I woke late so I didn't put anything on, but let Åsa do it all... so I don't remember exactly what she used, but what I remember from the eye makeup is:
MAC paintpot as a base (don't remember what shade, sorry! but some pale greenish colour)
MAC pigment "deep blue green" on the lid
MAC eye shadow "too dolly" from the "too dolly" palette in the crease
MAC pigment "milk" as highlighter
MAC eye shadow "romping" from the "too dolly" palette under the eye
MAC eye shadow "stately black" from the "too dolly" palette under the eye
On the pics I have "fast friends" on the lips, but I know Åsa used another lippie. Think it was "Sweet strawberry" but I'm not sure. It was really fun to let someone else do my makeup for a change :D
Lucky day!
Wohoo! Go me, I found my primer! Phew, now I won't have to buy a new one :P
Today is teal, green and golds yet again!
This weekend I'm going to Finland for the funeral... so I don't know what possibilities I'll have for updating. Or if I'll even feel like it. We'll just have to see. Right now I feel like I could use an escape from the heaviness of the funeral and everything related to it.
Lucky day today, though. The sun is shining, great makeup, the client presentation went very well, got excellent feedback, tasty lunch, and now I'm preparing the presentation for my classmates tomorrow. Today is nice, so I just had to have "nice to be nice" on the lips :)
On to the FOTD!

What to do?
This morning I woke up and I just couldn't find my eye primer. The horror! How do you do a good or great makeup without a primer? I looked but did not find it.
Does this mean I hve to buy a new one? I really don't want to! Not yet! It wasn't even half done!

Forgery
Purity did a lovely makeup yesterday in purple and silver, like a cold peacock feather or a stormy sky. I got so inspired that I did a warm version of that makeup. I don't know what words to use to describe my versionother than I like it. A lot.

Could there be a happier FOTD?
Rouaa asked me to see "Nice to be nice" on lips... so todays makeup is a celebration in orange! Orange eyes and orange lips, could it be better or fresher?
I thought to do this makeup a subtle one... but I couldn't help myself so I went crazy colourful anyway, ha ha!
