My Fair Lady



Good evening!
I've spent my day in bed watching My Fair Lady, I wanted to share it with you guys if you haven't seen it.

Enjoy~

The Host

 
Yeah yeah yeah I know, buuuu twilight and buuu Stephenie Meyer, oh grow up grow a pair and get your own opinion.
I've read the twilight books, they're good, a bit slow but still fairly okay. And the movies, they're a bit meh, but they're not awful to watch either.

And here comes The Host, another creation made by our beloved author Stephenie Meyer.
I loved the book, it was slow, but most books are. And I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie.
I like the trailer, and they've made a few changes, but what movies doesn't?

Fun gadgets



I really want that fingerprint-scanner-door-lock and bat signal...
If you don't want to watch the video but are curios about what I'm talking about, the thing's I'm talking about starts at ~ 4:55

Archies girls new makeup by M.A.C

 
So I don't know about you guys but I find most news when I'm out shopping, I'm not browsing for upcoming news.
I'm a passive researcher, I let the news come to me ;)
So anyway, I went out shopping and browsing for some makeup and I found that M.A.C has this new collection called Archies girls.
I got super excited since I grew up with that comic.
I'm getting to that stage in life when I prefer the things I used to grow up with and I'm always referring to "the good old days" haha and I'm not even that old.
I think it's super cool that M.A.C decided to bring these guys back on the market. I really spent my entire childhood reading about Veronica and Betty and their struggle to get Archie to pick one of them.
 

It's now when I'm older that I find the comic kinda irritating.
To simply put it for you young ones, Veronica and Betty are two very different classed ladies. Betty is the blond one and she's from this working class family, and Veronica is the black haired upper class girl and gets pretty much everything she wants from her dad, neither less to say that money's no problem in her world.
I've always related to Betty because she's like me, easy going and she's working hard to get what she wants.
They both like Archie and Archie likes them both. What pisses me off is that he's dating both of them at the same time. Neither of them is fine with it, but they keep battling over him even though they're best friends.
I don't know what you think, but if a guy I like likes me back and my best friend, I'd have him make up his mind at some point. He can't keep dating us both when we clearly don't want to share him.
If it was me, I'd drop him almost right away, I don't want a man who can't make up his mind. And I'd like to know that he didn't have trouble picking me over some other girl. This guy clearly don't know who he wants, and I'm sorry but if you don't know if it's me you really want, I'd make it really easy for you and just take that option away from you.
 
 

 
So about the makeup;
I really like the colors of the makeup, It reminds me a bit of limecrimes, but I'm not at all happy with their choices of models. I really don't think they got the right models to fit the characters. It just feels wrong and totally off. If you've been a fan of the comics like I've been, you'd be disappointed too.
I'm glad they chose the original character design on the makeup otherwise I wouldn't want to buy it.
I'm sorry but I just wouldn't. No offense to the models, I bet they're lovely and all, but they're not suited for the characters.

My kind of men

So I wanted to talk to you guys about men.
Since I've always been a kind of tomboy my life, I love video games and testosterone kind of movies with a lot of action and guns going on.
My heroes: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, Jason Statham etc.
(Yeah I know I just recited pretty much all of the actors from expendibles, but there's a reason for them to be in that movie in the first place)
I seriously get gag reflexes whenever I think of that dude from pretty woman (Richard Gere?) or Hugh Grant.

I have a brother and we've spent a lot of time doing things with my father, like fishing and building/crafting stuff at our grandmas summer house, and we always watched the movies my father liked. So I grew found of those movies and the actors. I never understood the whole reading gossip magazines and giggling about cute boys.
I've never been much of a girlygirl. So when it comes to boys, I guess I want a man that looks and acts like a man. I've never been much for the guy that looks very feminine.
I'm not saying I want this caveman type of guy who never shaves or take cares of his appearance, or with this old fashion attitude of women in kitchens. Cuz that's not what makes a man at all.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm quite boyish at times and I don't want to be the "boy" in the relationship, cuz believe it or not I do have my girlish moments as well and guess what I'm still a girl.
And no offense, but boys better not touch my make up.
If a guy wants to wear skin and hair products, that's great, but don't you dare touch my makeup. I'll stab your ass with a fork. If it's for costumes or a photoshoot that's cool, but like wearing mascara and foundation and whatnot like everyday, sorry that's just not my cup of tea.
What do you call it? metrosexual?
 
 And since the sun's on its way down, I'm going out for a while! Talk to you bitches later

Will Smith

 We all know him as the fresh prince of bell air. 
He made a lot of movies but I think the movie I'll always remember him from will be the movie pursuit of happiness. 
I recommend it so please take some time some day to see it if you haven't seen it. 
Here's some pictures and a video that I really like!
Enjoy~
 
 

TMNT the movies

Thank you youtube for the nostalgia! These are the movies I used to watch as a kid! Me and my brother still are huge fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we used to play that we were them with our cousins, using sticks and branches as weapons running around in the forest at our grandmas summer house.
I like all of the characters but I think Raphael have a special place in my heart.

Love memes

I found a few cute & fun memes I wanted to share with you guys!

 
 
 
 

Face shapes

 

Hi guys! So there's something I've been thinking about a lot when it comes to make up and hairstyles. It's face shapes.
Some of you might be thinking: why on earth do I need to know what kind of face shape I have? It's because it will help you so you know what kind of hairstyles that will flatter you most and, of course it will help you with the makeup as well.
I have until recently believed that I had a rectangular face shape, but I found this website with better illustrations on how you can measure your face and to find out what shape you have. It's the best illustrations I've found yet.
Here's the link to the tutorial:
http://www.visual-makeover.com/face-htm/
 
There's also some good tutorials and tips for your face on this blog, it's the best beauty blog and I've been following it for quite some time!

I have a heart shaped face, what do you have? 

Behind the scenes The Little Mermaid MV



Hi guys! I've been following Traci Hines work for some time now and I wanted to share the behind the scenes from her music video just because I love all kind of 'behind the scenes' material and process.
If you want to see the music video check out her channel.

Peter Jackson lost a lot of weight

 
 
Peter Jackson on the set of "Lord of the Rings" vs. Peter Jackson on the set of "The Hobbit"
I almost didn't recognize him.

TINY-G - MINIMANIMO



I found this fairly new korean pop song that kinda sticks with you, I really like their baseball jacket and jeans outfit in the video and I wanted to share it with you guys!
I have a black and white baseball jacket myself, but I was thinking about buying a pink one and pimping it like the ones they're wearing in the video. I don't really care if it's in fashion or not, I wear what I like whenever I want. I don't really see a point of following fashion trends that only stays for a month or two. 
 

Wig and lip tint


I spent most of my day on the floor securing my wires and internet cable.
I'm still redecorating my room so most of my room is still in boxes. There's not much I can do at the moment since I'm waiting for IKEA to restock the mirror I want for my makeup table/section-thingamabob. And I'm looking for a new TV for my gaming corner. Without them I can't put up my shelf (I'll show you guys photos when I'm completed)
Meanwhile I found some stuff on ebay. I won the wig cheap, 50 SEK including shipping.
I'm not completely sure why I bought the wig... I shouldn't spend so much time on ebay I find myself buying unnecessary stuff just because it's cheap. 
I'll make a review on the lip tint when I get it and I'll give you guys a link as well. 
Cheers

The dress of my dreams



I really love this music video, I bet they didn't spend much making it. There's not much editing in it and it's just so simple, just her on a stool in the middle of the room. It's perfect because it makes you focus on the song and not so much of the video in it self.
And the dress is to die for. I'm going to make one of my own if I can find the time for it. I just don't know when I would wear it haha. Doesn't quite feel like the dress you go out shopping in.

Best way to save money for vacations


If you're like me and having problem saving money for your vacation, a good tip is to exchange some money now and then and put it in a piggy bank of some sort. That way you can't spend it in your own country ;)
It's quite fun! ~
I bought this box-bag at H&M

Léon: The Professional

 


One of my favorite movies of all times must be Leon.
It's such a tragic story really, but it's beautifully made.

'A professional assassin rescues a teenage girl whose parents were killed in a police raid'
Starring:
Jean Reno, Gary Oldman & Natalie Portman
 
 
 

Quote of the day

Spring fashion

 
Yesterday I bought the march issue of egg and I got super inspired. I bought myself a pair of cute pants and I did my nails. I also cut a pair of old stockings into overknee socks with stay ups. I'm not satisfied with the result but hey, it's a first try.
I think I'm ready for spring now!

I'm headed out tomorrow, just before work to do some shopping.

Shopping wants

Heres a few things I've been thinking about buying lately!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thumbelina the movie

I loved this movie as a child I used to walk around during recess and sing the songs for myself and dream about Cornelius and some kind of prince charming character to come and sweep me off my feet.. come to think of it it's quite silly but the songs are great.
I found the DVD out in stores and online, but I was suspicious since they never mentioned anything about the swedish dubb so I mailed the distributor and asked, as I suspected they've removed it. So there's no swedish Thumbelina dubb out on dvd yet.
I found it on youtube tho' enjoy~








Tune of the day

London guide for swedes

Hi guys so I wanted to write a review on my stay in London, and my trip to leavesden studios for the Harry Potter exhibition!
 

What to think of before you go!
Something I didn't know about; the electric outlets looks different depending on where you go. Our swedish ones look totally different compared to the ones in England. So if you're bringing a computer or your phone and need to charge it, you need to get yourself an electric plug converter.
I bought mine at Arlanda airport, Swedish - English they look something like this and cost about 200SEK
 

If you're like me and rely on your phone and use it for practically everything. Alarm clock, maps, calculator, notes & internet you're fucked without one of these!

Getting around in London using public transportation
If you stay at a hotel that's pretty central, use the busses. I'm not kidding you, the undergrounds are terrifying during rush hours. There's so much people I swear you're going to lose your friends or family. It felt like this scene from Harry Potter, you really had to stand against the wall to let the people pass you.
 
 

I live in Stockholm so I know about rush hours, but this is ridiculous and terrifying at the same time.

A tip is to download a .pdf to your phone with the underground map. I have this app called iBooks and I've got both swedish and english underground maps in it. I like it, it makes you feel less like tourist since you're not walking around with that typical paper map ;)
 
 
Get yourself a oyster card! It works just like our SL-cards! If you've been to Stockholm and traveled by subways, it works just the same way. You put the card on this electric plate just like our Swedish ones.
I swear, if you're familiar with the trains in Stockholm, you'll feel right at home in London, looks the same, works the same.
There's one thing to keep in mind though, when you're leaving the station, make sure to have your oyster card ready! You need to put it on this electrical plate to get out too. It works the same way, it's just that you have to use the card as some sort of key to get in AND out! 
 

What's the price of this so called oyster card? It depends on how long you'll be staying and in which zones you'll be traveling within.
I never went and didn't plan to travel outside zone 2 and I wanted the oyster card to last a week (since that's how long we stayed), so for me it cost about £34 , that's about 374SEK, totally worth it. We managed to see pretty much everything we ever wanted to see because of this card. We went EVERYWHERE.
And trust me, I loved being on the bus, it was so much fun. And the busses come like every five minutes or less, unlike our busses. Sweden you have something to learn from English traffic.
 

My recommendations:
Primark!
If you want cheap and modern clothes go to Primark, I'm not kidding.
It's cheaper and way more interesting than H&M's clothes. And I'm totally going back there this spring just to buy me a new wardrobe!
I'll show you my loot in another post!

I'll be making another post just about the Harry Potter exhibition so stay tuned!

Hi guys, did you notice anything different?
I hope so! New design coming up! It's not 100% finished, but it's getting there.
A huge thanks to Magnus for helping me out!
