I'll take you to the candy shop

Uh...I'm finaly free from my university for the next week! This week was one of the hardest this year-I had exams almost every day and I had the final exam at my make up artist/stylist courses. I am proud of myself because my work was the best at the exam! Here are some photos and may be later I'll post some more.
We had to make a look on the subject "antistress". I made a "candy shop girl". The dress is made of a man's XXL t-shirt and ten bast whispes(it took four hours of my precious time!) , the doughnut-it's a painted rubber ring , the bracelet is made of jellies, her lips are covered with grit for cake and her head is covered with candy floss. I think I coped with the task!)

Ta-da!

I promised to show you the photos made by me for my term paper. Ta-DA!Here are they!:)
Make up artist-me
Stylist-me
Photographer-me
Model-my dear friend Julia
I think I can call this look- "porcelain doll"

P.S. Zoom in to see the make up better!

love at first sight

Just look at this beauty! I saw it at the window two days ago and it was...just love at first sight!I was already dreaming how I drink tea from it on a sunny morning.... but it was very expensive ,so i needed some time to think... And today I was feeling so nervous that somebody could buy it that I went and did it! So it's mine now! I adore beautiful dishes so I just couldn't resist. But now I hesitate if I should leave it for myself or I should give it like a present to someone... The problem is that I don't have so much money for presents now and I shouldn't afford such expensive things for myself. So what should I do?

great photoshoot

Today I made a photoshoot for my term paper for my make up school! I'm very excited because the results are really nice and I want to show them to you so much!But...I think I should wait a lil' bit because I want to keep my ideas in a safe place. I'll show you these pictures after I hand them over to my teachers.

make up shopping

These days were so busy and nervous that I decided to buy something really bright and cheerful . I needed some stuff for my make up school so I went to the professional shop for make up artists. Here are my purchases: feather lashes(I have no idea when I can use them because they look extremely long -may be for New Year party, but I don’t know yet where I’m going to celebrate it and what to wear, but I was dreaming about them for a long time. They are so so beautiful!); gold sparkles-I’m going to use them for my make up courses or for some crazy make up for myself; pale pink and aubergine ( incredibly rich color-I’m looking forward to use it!)nail polish from OPI.

I want to show you girls some extremely inspiring photos from Shu Uemura. New Year party approaches so you should already think about your outfit and make up! May be these photos can suggest you a great idea.

Metamorphoses

Everyone can be ugly, everyone can be beautiful…. I realized that on the last lesson of my make up courses. We had to make a character for advertisement. Our group’s task was to make an advertisement for a dance school and another group had a task to make an advertisement for make up school. We decided to make “before” and “after”. Our idea was to make a granny that goes dancing. Another group made for “before” some kind of Ugly Betty and for “after” some kind of super-diva. We used some ordinary cosmetics and some special grease-paints(for gray hair and yellow teeth-haha!))my fave!!). It was such a stress for a girl to see herself so old! Poor thing! I think it was the most interesting lesson)

On the photos-me without any make up wearing "very-lazy-day" outfit and my trash-team))

P.S. Lately I have so much to do for my university that I have no time to write posts frequently-sorry! To be honest, I have so much problems now that my head is going to blow up!

finnish bloggers

I read and watch a lot of blogs every day because it's much more inspiring than reading fashion magazines. I realised that I like finnish bloggers most of all-they have very independent unique style and they rarely become trend-victims. I'm not some kind of anti-globalist but it's better when people from different countries dress up different, so finnish people is a good example of it. I also like to read their blogs because I go to Helsinki frequently and it would be interesting to meet them some day somewhere on the street. I advice you to look through some blogs of really nice ladies.Here are they:

http://fluxorist.blogspot.com/ -very mysterious girl with great style
http://ambugaton.blogspot.com/ -very touching girl with a style inspired by 50's(and also a bow-maniac)haha
http://freelancersfashion.blogspot.com -50's+burlesque+tatoos=crazy mix

collection

Some time ago I considered eyes to be more important part of the face and I always accentuated them. But then I noticed that my lips always look "undressed" and from this point my love for lipsticks and lipgloss began. Today I purchased Chanel Aqualumiere lipgloss("bonbon") that I was looking forward to buy.

I was using my electric pink lipstick some days ago and I've heard the most weird compliment from one boy-"You have a beautiful make up!"(usually guys don't notice things like that)

On the photo-YSL lipstick n16(red),YSL lipstick n49(pink),Chanel lipgloss "bonbon"

new blouse debute and red lipstick

A lil' bit stupid photos,but I just wanted to show you my new blouse made by tailor(loose silk sleeves and bow). This is my today's outfit. Today I had a family day-I met my grandmother that I haven't seen for 10 years!I was very glad to see her and I wanted to make the best impession.

On the photos you can see my bedroom with crazy violet walls))

practical work

I'm quite nervous because tomorrow I have to do practical work! I have to work for Cat's model agency graduation!We have to do the make up very fast and it must be bright but not vulgar-it's a hard task!Too bad that I have to buy a lot of cosmetics tomorrow for this work,though it's a good practice and we really need it.May be I'll make some photos(if i have time).

for headband and hat lovers

I really like headbands and i'm going to make one myself some day. Today I found very nice headbands and hats by Benoit Missolin, check out this link.

electric pink

Yes!I did it!I bought what I wanted! YSL electric pink lipstick. I like it so so much!I think I can use it even when I'm going to university ,for example tomorrow. My boy-friend said that I look like a doll when I have it on my lips)

Lipstick

I have never used lipstick before, I used only light lip gloss because I thought that bright lipstick looks vulgar. Now I understand that you have to mature to begin using lipstick because it really changes all your look and makes it really outstanding. So now I have passion for it and trying to save some money to buy all the colors that I like! I think that YSL makes the best lipstick-the colors are very rich, the quality is really high and the wrapping is very nice(it’s also important). I’ve already bought red one(now I feel like a real woman))))lol) and now there are still two colors in my wish list: electric pink and dark crimson.

Matthew Williamson for H&M

"Swedish fashion giant H&M said British celebrity designer Matthew Williamson would create its next guest collection." This collection by Matthew Willamson has to reach the stores at the 23rd of April 2009, I hope I will be able to go to Helsinki to see it,because usually something happens when someone interesting makes collection for H&M and I can't come to Helsinki in time!

ask my tailor how

I promised to show my new blouses made by my tailor,but now i'm going to show you only one because the other one is more chic and i'm waiting for some special event to wear it. May be I'll go to ballet quite soon and I think it would look very nice with red lip stick. This is my yesterday's outfit.We had a dinner with my family in one very chic italian restaurant and then went to my home with my mother and her friends,so we had quite weird "party" because usually I communicate with younger people. Few words about this blouse: it has silk purple bow, short balloon-sleeves and small black buttons.I'm wearing it with short black Zara dress and fuchsia color tights.

3d make up

Our task was to do a three-dimensional make up.Here it is.

spender

Lately I always have feeling that I should buy something))the weather here is so nasty now that I couldn't resist and cheered myself with some purchases! Here are they: eye shadows by YSL( the colors are just amazing and I realy need them because they match my brown eyes ideally and later I can use them for a photo shoot for my term paper for my make up courses) and killer heels(may be you think I'm crazy taking into account that now we have snow outside and it's just fucking freezing!but I realy fell in love with them and I already now that it will be my favourite pair when summer comes).

black panther

Vogue Russia realy amazed me this month in a good way! I always pay attention to the cover of the magazine and this is just gorgeous!I realy can't understand how Naomi looks so good though she is not young and she takes so much cocaine)))(i think she sold her soul to a devil to stay always young and beautiful))))but anyway she is so chic! And I like this photo very much because white fur looks excellent with her chocolate skin. But it's weird to see black woman on the cover taking into account that this Vogue issue is about Russia))

Tailor

Today I visited my tailor and I took away my blouses! I'm so happy that they are finaly finished! I'm looking forward to wear them, I'll show you photos very soon ,guys!)

my cold friend

We had a lot of snow today! and we realy had fun!)

first snow

PS:All pictures are taken in my yard. I'm a lucky girl!My boyfriend's mother presented these silver Ugg's to me!Ugg's are the best for the weather like we had today, I feel confy wearing them even when i have my 9 am classes.
