My Week, Finals, Graduation and Mybeautybox

Finally i have some time to sit down and actually write a blog post.

This Tuesday was my last day of school and because of that we had a great time, with breakfast in school, fought with water, played football against the teacher, dressed up in costumes and partied all night. The students actually won against the teachers and sadly, my iphone got water on it so it kind of has a water damage now..
We slept in tents on the school grounds, but it rained and we were 3 persons in a tent for 2 so the rain kinda went right through the tent... We were told our finals Wednesday morning at 8:45 and i apparently drew the short straw, because i have not one, but two math exams and i, if you don't know, hate this kind of math, so that is great.. My last exam is religion and i'm quite pleased with that :) I am officially done with school the 24th at 9:18, where i am done with my last exam and on the 28th there is graduation and then there is the truck ride around to all of our parents and it is going to be wild!

I had my first exam this Friday, it was danish exam and i felt like it went okay :) after the exam i went down and bought some snacks, for the party the entire class was invited to, and picked up a package. It was in my teachers apartment and it was really cozy and fun, but i went home at 00:30 because i just felt too tired to stay anymore.  Even though i went home early, i had a great evening and i actually ended up being grill master. I was so good! It was delicious!

Before going to the party, i opened the package that i had gotten and it was MyBeautyBox! It is always a surprise what you get in those.


 I got a Sally Hansen nail polish with a crackle effect in Ink Splatter, a Astor VIP 3 tone blush in the color 003 - brown, a W7 mascara  called Show Stopper in blackest black and a Sinful Colors Extra Shiny Lipgloss in 2280 Virginia Beach. All full size products with a total value of 290 kr for the prize of 129 kr. It was okay, but i was more impressed with my last box. This box' theme was Fun and Flirty Beauty.

The nailpolish is great. I already know, and i haven't even tried it on my nails yet. I have a nailpolish in the same style from OPI, but it was really expensive and it has already gotten thick. This one is only half the price and i know and love the Sally Hansen polishes.
Here it is over some white nailpolish. 

The 3 tone blush is not something i am impressed with. It has a brown/orange color and it is just not something i would use as a blush. I can probably make it work at a bronzer, but not as a blush. I am more into the pink and peach shades when it comes to blushes.It is also very shimmery and it is just not that good. It feels smooth and silky, but i am not into the color of it. Hopefully i can make this work for me, because if not it is just a waste..
Here the blush is. It is more orange in real life though

The mascara is another thing that i am not that impressed about. When i go out looking for a new mascara, i look for the most volumizing mascara because i already have the length and the curve. This mascara is a fiber mascara, which should attach to the lashes, making them longer and fuller. For me, it gives more length than volume and it is sadly not what i am searching, but i think it could work if you layer it with some other mascaras. Is has a flat cone shaped brush and i am not really into it.


A picture of the brush and my eyes with and without the mascara. 

The last thing was the lipgloss. It has a nice pink color, but it is also very pigmented and i didn't really expect that. It has a vanilla scent which isn't very pleasant and it is kind of sticky. I am not really into it, right now, but maybe i can make this one work also. I don't know yet. Maybe if i only wear a thin coat?


 Here is a swatch and the lipgloss on my lips. 

All in all this box was kind of a miss for me. The only thing i really liked was the nailpolish but let's just see if i like the others in some time.

Yesterday i spend with Simon. It has been so long since we were together, just the two of us and yesterday we both had time, finally. We didn't really do that much, but i really enjoy spending time with him. 
Today has been a day where i have been relaxing before the reading begins. I have to study before going to the exam on Wednesday so i can do just a little bit better than the tests we have made.

SRP, dates, new nails and a little tip

So I need to be done with my SRP this wednesday and I have written 11 pages in the last couple of days. I'm so proud of myself! I am still missing the abstract, start, conclusion and the last question so I will definitely reach the 15 pages!


I had a couple of dates some days ago. One was a trip to the movies with Iben and the other was a sushi date with Mette. The movie date was really fun and cozy. We ate great food and had fun and the movie was actually quite good! The sushi date was sadly cancelled, but we are planing a new one cuz us girls need our sushi! ;) when Mette called me with the bad news about her not coming, I was already on my way so I went on, bought some Christmas presents and brought home sushi for myself. It was really good and I got it really cheap too! I ordered a lunch menu because it has 18 pieces and costs only 89 kr when it's after 16:30, but for some reason I got it for 69 kr! So cheap! Now I'm only needing Christmas gifts for my dad and four grandparents, if any of you have a suggestion of what I could buy, let me know because I'm at a loss.





I put on some new nailpolish today just to change it up. I'm wearing a navy blue on all of my fingers except my ring fingers which are black. They are all topped off with the matte top coat and on the black nails I went in and made some zebra stripes in black. Not very noticeable but very cool!





One basecoat, two coats of either the navy or the black, one coat of the matte finisher, black polish for the stripes. 


Now I got a tip for all those lovely fake blondes like me out there! Well, I am a blonde, just not this blonde!
A couple of months ago I bought the "a touch of silver" shampoo set. I did this because I felt like my hair was getting yellow and that is not something you want! You get a "twice a week brightening shampoo", a "daily conditioner" and a "daily shampoo" for the price of 8£ on the English amazon (here). I got a good amount of product. 200 ml pr container and 150 ml of the twice a week shampoo. The only thing i'm running out of is the conditioner, but i have a tendency to use way too much conditioner.
What you do is, you wash your hair with the twice a week shampoo as it says, twice a week and you keep it in for 5 minutes before rinsing it out. Then you apply the conditioner. On days where you wash your hair and aren't using the brightening shampoo, you use the daily shampoo and wash your hair as normal, afterwards you apply the conditioner. I've been using these products for some months now and I will say, they really work! Or at least for me it did. We all have different hair and I can't say how or if it will work on your hair. Now the thing about the brightening shampoo is that it is a purple shampoo and when I say purple, I mean very purple! It is a bit scary the first time you use it, but I will promise you that your hair won't get purple unless you overuse the brightening shampoo, so please don't do that ;)













You can see kinda how it colors my hair a bit purple, but it rinses right out. Even though it says it is for grey, white or plantinum blonde hair, it works great with a natural blonde color, it just removes the yellow tint that appers after a couple of weeks. You can also see the shampoo on my finger and the color of it so it is a bit scary first time you use it. 


I feel like this is a great product and I really works. If you don't want to pay that amount of money on shampoo I can totally understand you, it is just a tip if you don't want that yellow tint in your hair :)
By the way, now that we are talking about hair, mind is really growing out and since I have quite dark hair it looks kinda silly.. I know that I'm not going to color it again because my scalp did not like it. I had huge sores and they were disgusting! Maybe I'll get my hairdresser to do it when I have the money.. Or maybe I'll let it grow out.. What do you guys think?

In a busy time

At the moment i'm writing a big assignment which really decides if i can graduate or not. The thing is just that i can't really take the assignment seriously. I've gotten too used to doing my assignments in the very last moment, instead of using the time that i have for it. If i had done any serious work, i would probably have gotten much further than i have, but instead of that, i've been surfing the internet, watching movies and just been laying around in my bed. I've just started watching old pixar and disney movies.  I love them! But i really should start writing something other than my blog.

Normally i feel stressed at this time of year because of the presents i need to buy, which i'm still 3 presents short of. This year i'm not stressed about anything.. Not even about the presents. I have too much time on my hands and at the same time, not enough.. Weird.



And now, instead of writing, i'm looking for a new years dress. I don't know if i need one, but it's nice to know what's out there just in case and this year i really want a affordable long dress! Right now i've found about 5 dresses that i like, but i don't know if i should buy one or not. Please help me!
If you are interested in any of these dresses, there are links under the pictures :)







Please let me know your opinion on which dress you like and might want me to buy :)

I've also spent time painting my nails. I love red nails for the holiday and really for any occasion. And recently i ordered a matte finisher from E.L.F. and i've been wanting to try it. So a couple of days ago i painted my nails red and finished them with the matte top coat and here it is! The camera doesn't really do the polish justice, because you can't really see that it's matte, but i think it's pretty in person :)



I did 3 coats of the red polish from Sally Hansen no. 570; Right Said Red and then one coat of the matte finisher. It definitely has a matte look to it, but it's a bit hard to see in pictures. I really like it!
I should probably get on with the non-writing..

NOT, Confused feelings and a bit of random

First NOT (Nail Of Today) ever done! Kinda exited :P




So this is how they look and it is not a hard thing to do at all! :D
But you have to invest in a shatter polish. They can be bought in drugstores at different prizes, but the cheaper they are, the quicker they'll dry out after using it.









So, these are the things I've used.
First is Sally Hansen Diamond Strength base coat, one coat, second is Rimmel's 60 seconds in 730 Silver Bullet, 3 coats, third is OPI's Black Shatter nail lacquer, 1 coat,  and the last one is Sally Hansen Maximum Growth base + top coat, 1 coat :)








Now to the confusing feelings..

So i have had a fight with, what now would be my former best friend. That was how bad it was..
We have had fights before, where it was just ridiculous and we were okay after a few days, but this time is different. We are not going back to being friends again. It probably started a couple of months ago, maybe in march or something like that, before our formal on the school. We got into a fight. I felt like I was doing a lot to keep out friendship, like going to her classroom, talking with her, starting the conversations, hanging out with her as much as I could and stuff like that, while all she had done was to ask me if I wanted to use a gift box she has given me in some of the holidays that was coming up, I didn't really want to at that time, the places are all difficult to go to with public transport and at that time I was feeling really stressed because of exams and stuff like that.
A couple of days later, we became friends again and everything seemed good. I felt like there wasn't anything to talk about because I though my message was clear and had made it through to her, so I just smiled at her when ever I saw her in the hallways of the school but apparently her friends in her class felt like there was, so they told her to dump me and she told me. I was really sad about it because I saw these people as some of my friends as well, but no, they weren't.
Then some time after, we got into a fight again, probably about the same kinda thing and then I wrote to her that we probably were slipping away from each other because of lack of time and things like that. Then at the school formal, we apologized and  said that we really didn't want to slip apart and so on. Then there went some time with no talking or anything..
Then this Friday, I texted her if I could ask her a question without she became mad and I asked her if she was mad at me. She said no, but she was just treating me like I was treating her. I didn't think I still had to make the connection between us, so I kinda just waited for her to come and talk to me, but no, she thought that I was freezing her out and now she was doing the same thing. I was like "Are you kidding me?? This is my fault? I am the one who always have to do this. I have to start everything with you!" She answered that she had written to me a ton of times, but the only time she has written to me was when we talked about the gift box.. I totally thought she had gotten my message but no, she hadn't. So we became more and more angry at each other and in the end I wrote "You know what? I can't do this. Not if all we do is fight. I'm done" and she was like "Friendship over" and all I could write was really "Like I care" but I did care.
She was my best friend and I had to let her go just like that? Guess so.. Now I am just a bit confused..
I have to just point out that most of our communication was over text messages and that we probably should meet face-to-face and work this out, but I really don't want to. I don't feel like she is worth the anger, the sadness and so on! And if we have to meet up, it should be because she wants to, not because I want to. I do not want to be the one who have to do all the work in this friendship! It was like we were riding a tandem bike and I was in the front doing all the work while she was sitting with her legs up, doing nothing. It makes me angry. Everyone knows that a friendship is like a relationship, you both have to be in it to make it work!
I'm just gonna stop talking about this because I could probably go on and on about it. But it's nice to know who is our friends and who isn't...

Now, random info about my blog.

I haven't really gotten that many page views yet, but I have found out that one time in South Korea, one time in Latvia and 15 times in Russia, my blog has been seen. It's kinda wierd seeing this. That it's getting all over the world. I mean, people in the States have read my blog.. Wierd o_O
