Skinsyge (1845)








"Soud ick al bewenen, 
dat hier to bewenen waer, 
so had ick wel al de daghen were, 
die daer comen in het jaer."
 

(Skulde mine Taarer trille
For hver en Jammer paa Jord,
Da havde jeg nok at bestille
Hver Dag i det hele Aar.)

Benefit x Instant BROW

Creamy. Pigmented. Nice hold. Handy packaging. Great shade. Those are a few words to describe this eyebrow pencil from Benefit cosmetics. It's dreamy!

I'm not sure I know why I use this, I don't really need it- at least I don't think. My eyebrows are full and dark; as a matter of fact they look eerily much like snails placed on my forehead. I'm not entirely sure when I started to fill in my brows, but I like it. I'm a bit too lazy to use it everyday, but there must be some plus sides of having snails on my face. I don't apply a lot of product when I manage to pull myself together and make an effort. A little goes a long way, and I only really need a shadow. But I use it too because it's fun to draw on one's face. 


The colour I have the darkest (brown), which I believe will flatter people of Asian ethnicity, just because it looks so natural with black hair. Considering my natural eyebrows are jet-black, the pencil gives my brows a more soft and thus a more kind/ or sweet look.

The box it comes in is adorable, as with all Benefit make up. The design of the pencil is superb too, with a spoolie- a perfect tool to blend the product with the hairs. It stays put after application, which is effortless. The price is $$$, but not crazy pricey like Chanel, or Dior, or some other stupidly overpriced luxurious goodie. I'm impressed.

You Are Always On My Mind






 Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have,
maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have.
Little things I should've said or done; I just never took the time.

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
and I guess I never told you "I'm so happy that you're mine"
If I made you feel second best, girl I'm sorry I was blind.

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied.
Little things I should have said and done; I just never took the time.

I Feel So Fancy

Matching jewelry has always been something that I've associated with grown ups, old movies and ladies of high standards. Or women with a keen sense of fashion. I finally faced my fears of looking ridiculous abiding to the trend, and got me a pair. It's a necklace and bracelet from &Otherstories (I promise you, I DO shop at other places). What I like about this set is that even though the metal and chain is similar, the bracelet is a bit bulkier, which makes it seem a little different from its counterpart. The quality is decent and the price isn't too bad either actually. Also, on the necklace there is actually a glossy pink finish on the other side of the plate, but as I decided pink wasn't my colour I'd just wear it like shown below. This is what some might call customizing.
