My wants from Jeffrey Campbell!

Ok, so celebrity-designer Jeffrey Campbell has been really blown up and wellknown for his shoes the last half a year or so, so I wanted to show you what I would love to own from his line! 

The first one I will show you is the 99 Tie Spike. These are Urban Outfitters Exclusive, though, so it might be hard to find.They are totally awesome, though, and the fact that they are cheap - compared to in store in Norway (before tax, though, haha). They have free shipping on all orders over $50, and look how totally awesome they are! Retails for $178.00 at urbanoutfitters.com.


Next I'd love the regular 99 Tie too, just because they are a little lower and easier to walk in (I think) than the super tall Damsel's. Which I would also love to have, but I'm chosing to feature 99 Tie here because I think I would wear them more often because they are lower. 
Retails for $114.95 at SoleStruck.


Then - as everyone else - I would love to own the Lita. I'd like the spike, the regular "leather" black and OMG, maybe everyone, haha! Here are the Silver Spikes in what I think might be leather. Real or fake leather - I don't know. Retails for $189.95 at SoleStruck.com
EDIT: Until I can afford the real deal, I've gotten a knock-off from eBay for $26 + $10 shipping!



Then there is the regular black Lita with the wooden heel. You can clearly tell I perfer black shoes!
Retail from $159.95 at SoleStruck.com


I also really like Foxy, they look so cool, and they too I would like in Black with Silver Spikes.
I do doubt these would fit my feet though, peeptoes rarely work very well with my feet because of the shape.
Retails for $174.95 at SoleStruck.com

There are probably plenty more shoes from him I'd like, but I don't know if I'd wear them, so I'm not including them here. I'm talking about NightWalks which are really cool, but a shoes that might be hard to walk on, especially here where I live...

Which shoe(s) is/are your favourite(s) from Jeffrey Campbell?
From these included here or any other ones you've seen!

Just A Beauty Tag!


I got this tag from http://thethoughtsbasket.blogspot.no, and if you want to read hers, click HERE


MAKEUP

Blush or bronzer? I seriously have no idea. I usually don't wear either. But because my cheeks usually are pretty pigmented and rosy, especially in the winter, I think I'll go with bronzer, or a warm-toned blush!

Lip gloss or lipstick? I do like lipstick for that super in-your-face color, and I don't really like lipgloss that much anymore, it's just a little too sticky, so I think I'll definetly go with lipstick.

Eye liner or mascara? Mascara, definetly! I wouldn't walk around with eyeliner and close to no-show eyelashes...

Foundation or concealer? Uhm, neither? Maybe foundation if I'm going to use one though. I usually use tinted moisturizer, but I guess it goes under one. A foundation can be applied in several layers if you want more coverage on a certain area of your face.

Neutral or color eye shadow? I usually go for natural shades for everyday if I'm wearing eyeshadow. It's just so easy to work with.

Pressed or loose eye shadows? I don't really own that many loose eyeshadows, so even though I like them too, I'm going with pressed. They're just a little easier to work with.

Brushes or sponges? Brushes all the way!


NAILS

Long or short? Short. I'm a nailbiter, it's horrible. It is a little on and of though. But for me short nails are pretty long too, if they reach my fingertips, I'm more than happy. I do prefer the look of long nails, but mine are - unfortunatly - short.

Acrylic or natural? Natural nails. My last blogpost was on a set of false nails, and by the end of the day they were off. Definetly a no-go.

Brights or darks? Both? Is that a valid answer?

Flower or no flower? No flower? I guess this thing has to do with manicure, but if I do anything fancy I place a nail-sticker on there. Easy and pretty!


BODY

Perfume or body splash? Perfume. It lasts so much longer than body splash/spray!

Lotion or body butter? I do use both, but I usually use lotion because it absobs into the skin quicker.

Body wash or soap? Liquid body wash.


FASHION

Jeans or sweat pants? Sweat pants are really comfortable, but jeans look way nicer, so I'm on jeans!

Long sleeve or short? Short sleeve. Long sleeves freak me out a little bit for some reason!

Dresses or skirts? Dresses, definetly! It's so simple just to throw on and look gorgeous with no effort!

Stripes or plaid? Plaid, I've never been particularly fond of stripes..

Flip flops or sandals? Flip Flops on the beach, sandals... never? I usually go for sneakers, ballerinas or high heels..

Scarves or hats? Scarves in the winter. Norway is so cold!

Studs or dangly earrings? Both. Really depends on the occation, but for everyday I usually wear studs.

Necklaces or bracelets? Necklaces. I have one necklace I use every single day, and I have been since Christmas of 2008 when I got it from my boyfriend. Haven't left my neck since!

Heels or flats? I <3 both! Heels just look smashing!

Cowboy boots or riding boots? neither...

Jacket or hoodie? Does a zipped hoodie go under jacket? Or is jacket outer-wear like a trench-coat?


HAIR

Curly or straight? I'm kind of in the middle. I do like the look of both super straight and really curly hair, but mine is a little straight and a little of a light curl.

Bun or ponytail? A high bun for work and school, it's a little easier just to throw up there. Ponytails look a bit nicer, so if I have to wear my hair up for an event I usually do a ponytail.

Bobby pins or butterfly clips? Bobby pins...

Hair spray or gel? The few times a year I have to use any of the mentioned I'll use hairspray.. Gel just looks greasy in my hair..

Long or short? Long hair :)

Light or dark? I have light-ish hair. It's a light brown, and I'm quite comfortable with it now, even though it would be fun to have super-bright hair some time too!

Side sweep bangs or full bangs? I have had both, but as off now I perfer side swept bangs. Full bangs are so warm!

Up or down? Half'n'half, haha


RANDOM

Rain or shine? Sunshine! Who would pick rain anyways?

Summer or winter? Summer! I'd much rather be to warm in +25 (the few times Norway has that kind of high temperature than be super cold at a -25-30 degrees which happends every winter here!)

Fall or spring? Spring! I love seeing the flowers blooming and the birds singing!

Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate! I'm a choco-holic!


15 Weird Facts 

What's a nickname only your family calls you? I don't really have a nick-name at all, haha

What's a weird habit of yours? Uhm... I don't really thing I have any super-wierd habits? I talk very much and very quickly, but I don't think that's too wierd? Except when my step-mom doesn't understand what I'm saying because I talk to fast, haha!

Do you have any weird phobias? Nope, I don't think so? 

What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone? Random child-songs like the pokemon-intro ! (L)

What's one of your biggest pet peeves? Ugh.. Tough question! Probbly when someone starts to poke you for no reason like my boyfriend tends to do. He does things just to tick me off! Super annoying and it makes me want to kill someone!

What's one of your nervous habits? I bite my nails.. Gross!

What side of the bed do you sleep on? In the middle, but since my boyfriend and I have started looking for an apartment together, I'll probably sleep on the right side, haha

What was your first stuffed animal and its name? It was two. It was a bear named Bamsemums (Named after a bear-shaped marshmallow-candy with chocolate-coating) and a stuffed small rabbit with a dress named Malin.

What's the drink you always order at Starbucks? Mocca Frappuchino is the thing I've ordered the few times I've been at a Starbucks.. Norway only has one, and that is at arrival at the airport...

What's the beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice? Sunscreen, I don't wash my brushes as often as I should either. And I don't always remove my mascara before going to sleep...

Which way do you face in the shower? I face out into the room with my back against the shower.

Do you have any weird body skills? I can move my ears, move a muscle in my eye so you can see the inner corner moving, and make my fingers look like a wave-thing. If I remember I'll show it in a youtube-video some time and put it in below!

What's your favorite comfort food that's 'bad', but you love to eat it anyways? Chocolate, chips with dip, licorice, I LOVE licorice! Anything, basically!

What's a phrase or exclamation you always say? I have no idea, haha! If anybody who knows me reads this, let me know, haha!

Time to sleep - what are you actually wearing? I either sleep with just panties or in nothing at all. I love being naked, it's so comfy, ahha! Is that strange ? >.<

If you decide to do this tag, let me know and I'll read yours too =D

First Impression: Kiss Feather Light False Nails

Ok, so I went to the store today, and I got these falsed nails. They are from Kiss, and they are called FeatherLight. I got the Short length, but they are actually really long on my nails, so when I'm doing this again, I'll go for the Real Short option. So, under here you can see my nails as they were. They were super short, and not much fun at all.


Now, below you can see my nails after I put the fake ones on.
You can clearly tell they are superlong in comparison to my natural nails, and as I'm writing this I do struggle a little bit. I have only had them on for an hour though, so hopefully I'll get used to it. 
When bugged me, though, was that since the nails have a french-tip design, the light pink part was close to clear, and you could see my natural nails, as well as the glue through the false nails.


Here is the package. 
The set came with a manicure stick, pink nail glue and 24 nails in 12 sizes.


Because you could see though the nails I decided to paint them. 
The golden colour is Molten by Miners,
and the darker colour is Autumn Feathers by Lumene

Right hand.

Left hand.

Over all I do like them, but I did expect the "short" ones to be shorter, because for me these are long.
On the package it says it will last for 7 days, so we'll see. I'll be working on sunday, so time will tell.
An other thing is I am seariously considering to cut them down a bit, because I don't know how I can work with such long nails. Other than they are OK.
There were plenty of sizes to choose from, and they were easy to put on. 

As for the prize they were originally 99 NOK, but since the store had a 25% off all false nails-thing going on,   I got them for 74 NOK instead.

I do like these nails, but next time I will try to find a more opaque nail, and a shorter version.
Other than that they are worth the money, so unless they fall off during the next couple of days I will consider buying them again if they make this type in the "real short" option.

Thanks for reading guys!

Giveaway Winners!

I have picked the winners, and shipped the prizes, but I figured that since I told you about the giveaway I should write who the winners were here too!

There were 3 winners.
One of the winners, Carissma2, was from Sweden, and her favourite flower is Lily of the Valley.
¨
The second and third winners where from the US, and their favourite flowers are Long Stemmed Roses and Lavender. Their youtube channels are Melinawill and Phw0114.



Congratulations so much to the winners, and I hope you will enjoy your prizes!

And one question:
Is it strange that I'm already planning the prize for my next giveaway? 
I'm planning on having that whenever I hit 300 subscribers, and today, as I'm writing this I have 182 wonderful people watching and supporting my videos!
To me it's unbelievable that people subscribe, and it's so fun! 

Every time I get an email from youtube, either with a comment or a new subscriber I get so happy, it literally makes the rest of my day! That's why I personally go into their youtube-channels and leave a comment personally. I want to show you guys I really care about you.
