Self-Portraits

As you might know we got an assignment in our photograph-class, and it was to do self-portraits.
So as I'm quite used to taking pictures of looks and stuff by now, I thought it would be an easy task, and I've taken quite a few OK photos, and I wanted to show you.

And PLEASE, let me know what photo you like the best, and why :)
Also if I should change something (Colour, b/w etc)





This is the look I'm wearing in the next three pictures. 
For the rest I'm wearing a dark red lip.





Thanks for reading, and please, again, let me know which picture is better.
Except for the makeup look, haha

Relationship-tips for girls!

This wil be a post with tips and oppinions on girlfriends, boyfriends, relationchips and stuff like that, so if you don't like this type of post, just click the x right away. Thank you...

Now, I'm not an expert or anything like that, as much as I'd love to know everything about thing like this, I don't, so keep that in mind when you read this. It's just things I've found works and makes things better.
However, I do have 3 years of experience with the same guy, and I know him very well.
I have asked a few guy-friends of mine about stuff too, though, and they pretty much agreed on most of the things. Meaning; guys are different, but they're also the same.

The first thing is don't nag him. 
You don't have to know where he is, who he's with and what he's doing at all times.
If you are very jealous, tell him. and tell him why, because jealousy is just a reaction when you're terrified of loosing someone! If you let him know why, then he will probably understand better.

Get the point?

An other thing is don't threaten him with your relationchip.
One of my friends told me about a friend of his, and that his girlfriend was very thretening.
"If you don't come out with me now, we're over!"
I was like "OMG, she did that?"

I swear, if my boyfriend did that to me, it wouldn't even be worth it. If our relationchip isn't worth any more than that, it might as well be over right away. 

One thing to keep in mind, even though you are in love, and you've been for 5 years, thing might end, so keep your friends with you. Don't dump your friends when you get a boyfriend, because they're the ones who will raise you up if he ever leaves you. I know a girl who did that, and when her boyfriend broke up with her after 2, 2.5 years she was suddently all alone because she thought they would be together forever, and she didn't need any body else than him...


But, you should also spend time with eachother. Go on a date, watch a movie at home, make dinner for eachother. But if you ive together it's also important to spend time all alone. Maybe your boyfriend wants to play some Skyrim. Let him do that, because if you do that for him, he might do something for you next time.
Maybe he'll drive you to a friend's place for a girls night out or a movie night, or watch sex and the city or some other girly show with you!

And trust each other. What is a relationchip without trust?
If you have friends of both genders, you should allow him to do that too. He had a life before you, you know... He had female friends, and he probably still want to stay in touch with them.
You can't think "That bitch!" everythime you see your boyfriend talking to another girl.
Go up to them, introduce yourself and talk to her. Maybe you'll get a new friend too?

And then, the last thing before I'll leave you alone is BE YOURSELF.
If you act like somebody you're not then he'll fall in love with the wrong girl, and when you get back to reality he might get disappointed. 

Let me get an example; if you're a real tomboy, dressed in a band tee and a pair of boyfriend jeans and get asked out on a date, the boy probably already likes you and finds you intresting, so why get all dolly and dressed up when you go on your date.
If you fool him around like that you'll probaby just fool yourself too.


Thank you so much for reading this super long post, and I hope you got some helpful tips out of this.

DIY Cream Blush

I told you guys I would show you how to make your own cream blush, and this is how I do it. 

 You need:
A face primer, I'm using a sample of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting touch I had laying around, and also a spatula if your primer is in a jar. Then you'll need a jar to keep your new cream blush in, an eyeshadow, blush or a lipstick in a colour you like and a bobby pin or something similar to mix it with.

Then you just take some primer and blush in a jar and mix it around. If you want a lot of pigmentation use a lot of blush and less primer and vice versa if you'd like a sheer blush.
I wanted mine pretty pigmented, and I added more blush after the picture below was taken.


Here are the watches of the blushes.
The swatch on the left is the cream and the swatch on the right is the original powder blush.
As you can tell the cream is blended and the powder is not.


Here I am, wearing the blush on my left cheek with nothing on my right cheek, so you can tell it gives a verry subtle pretty pink shade. At least mine did, since I chose a pink blush.
I am wearing foundation underneath, and it was not set with a powder before I applied the cream blusher.

You can also use it on your lips, but it depends on the primer you used if it will work or not. Here I applied a thin layer and you can see it gives my lips a pink tint, and it actually looked very natural.

OPTION:
If you wanted to use a lipstick instead of an eyeshadow or a blush you can either pick take the bullet out of the container and cut from the bottom so you can use it as a regular lipstick later or scrape out a piece of a depotted lipstick or bullet. Then the rest is basicly the same, just keep in mind that it will take a little longer to mix the lipstick with the base. I have done it though, I used an orange lipstick and it will be perfect for summer.

Another thing is if you have a very chalky, or unpigmented (?) blush then turning it into a cream will make it easier to work with, and it will also make it seem more pigemented if you use a lot of blush with less primer.

And that was it for this time!
Thank you for reading, and I hope you will try this out, because it's awesome!
