Blown out pink

I can't even tell you how much fun I'm having working my way through all the Urban Decay Electric colors!

Could I have created this look without the palette? Sure.
But it seems that the Electric colors were just what I needed to get more creative with makeup again. Along with vacation, of course ;)

Urban purples

I have a lot of purple eyeshadows and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite color to wear. My very first eyeshadow from MAC was Parfair Amour (also the only MAC eyeshadow I've ever hit pan on) and Urban Decay's Ransom (R.I.P) was a favorite for a long time.

The Urban Decay Electric palette features Urban, an awesome purple, which was the main inspiration for this look.
Urban is one of the four colors in the palette to come with the warning "not intended for the immediate eye area" so I can't really recommend that you try to recreate this. Luckily, both my eyes are still intact ;)

 

UD Electric look

I've got some good news to share: I can officially call myself Bachelor of Science in Computer Science!

Also, a bit more exciting for the blog (but slightly less exciting for my life ;) ) : I got the Urban Decay Electric palette for my birthday = IT'S PLAY TIME!

A neutral rut

Wow, another 6 months have passed since my last post. I do update my instagram a bit more, but I know it's not the same at all.

Makeup used to be such a big part of my life, and while I still love it and play around with it as soon as I get the chance, I've been busy with so many other things.

Most days I'll look like some version of the look posted here - quite neutral but with a little bit of color thrown in since I can't help myself.

I've had an incredibly stressful semester at uni with my bachelor's project while at the same time trying my best to lead a much healthier lifestyle with (lots of) exercise and home made food. I've made some much needed changes which unfortunately meant that my blogging and general playing with makeup suffered a bit, but after my exam tomorrow (yes, I'm using the blog as procrastination!) I hope to return to the makeup table :D

Glittery birthday look!

I guess you could say that glitter is to makeup what 42 is to the question about life, the universe and everything. The answer. The ultimate answer.

Today's problem: Having to spend most of my 23rd birthday reading linear algebra.

Solution: Wearing glitter!

And you know what? I had a great day!

It probably had a lot to due with the fact that I had a ton of cake* in great company but I'd like to give credit to the glitter as well ;)
