Last Minute Halloween Look! - Roboto

Ok, so on tuesday the "russ" at my school are having a theme-day, and the theme is halloween! 
Since I'm a russ this year, of course I wanted to participate, and I needed a quick and easy look to do before school, and it also had to be effectful. That's when I thought of this look!
It's a robot-inspired face look, and if you'd like you can obviously cover your whole face if you'd like, but I didn't because I didn't have that much time before I had to go to work, and I just wanted to see if it worked out. As you can see, it did... I'm not a very fan of the black outline, because it needs to be thicker, but I will fix that when I'm going to wear it to school. I'm also planning on doing some patches of silver here and there on my face and exposed parts of my body, so I'll probably post a picture on my facebook-page Chrisbeeblack Beauty when I'm done, so check that out on tuesday if you'd like to see!

BTW, if you're wondering what "russ" is, it's what the Norwegian graduates are called. You can read more about it HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ) if you'd like! I'll probably also do a video about it in the spring when the celebrations are closing up on me, haha! I also have to get my russe-clothing first!

So here's the look!







 The products I used:
IsaDora Perfect Coverstick - 01 Light
H&M Dipliner - Black
ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream - Black Licorice
ELF Eyeshadow Duo - Black Licorice
I also used NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil - Milk, but I forgot to put it in the picture! 

What do you think ?

We're moving in together! (Before Pictures)

My boyfriend and I have started moving! I'm so excited! 

We aren't quite setteled in yet, but I'm hoping we will be during the weekend.
I just wanted to show you guys some pictures of our apartment before we started moving things inside, and I will make another post with before and after pictures when we're all done!

Here is our livingroom! 
The reason the lamp and the thing for magazines and newspapers is there is because it was there when we moved in! Here we'll have a couch, TV, DVD/book-shelves and my boyfriend's computer-corner!


 This is the kitchen. It's not really that big, but it's enough for just two people.

 The bedroom! There is a mounted clothing-closed in a corner, and the matrass is going out as it's not ours. 

 Then there's the bathroom. It's actually quite big for an apartment this size!

Then there is this a storage-room. I'm thinking about keeping my makeup and such in here, as well as other hobby-things. 

Another closet! Will probably keep suits, dresses, shirts and my "bunad" in here! 
BTW: A bunad is the Norwegian National Costume!

Another storage unit in the apartment! Here we'll keep outer wear and shoes.

The other side of the second storage unit.

So yeah, that's out apartment! It's a little more stuffed right now, but I'll show you when we're done!
I'll probably film an apartment tour too, haha!

Wishlist: eBay Shoes!

Ok, so I'm a shoe-addict! On top of that my feet are very wide and small (I'm a EU size 38 (US 7, UK 5)). I also have a high instep(?). This basically means that everytime I find shoes I love, and that fit (or I think will fit if I order online) I want so badly! On eBay there are so many dupes of awesome shoes, and I have already ordered a pair of fake JC Spike Litas which I'm waiting for as we speak!

But, there are so many more shoes I want from there. It is so cheap as well, so most shoes I can sell for the same price if they don't fit my feet. That's why I wanted to share this shoe-wishlist with you guys! All shoes from eBay, and prices and sellers are the ones in my watch-list. If you want another size or price (if you're from the US the prices/shipping are usually a lot cheaper for you. A lot of the time I have $30 shipping for a $10 shoe.... Really annoying! Anyways, here we go!

 This pair I have been drooling over for forever it feels like! 
I think the cheapest I have found was from the seller e4love, where the price is $19.99 (currently with a 5% off for 18.99) and a shipping to Norway for $9.99 which isn't bad. They are gorgeous, and this is the shade Apricot. They are also availiable in black.


 Here are another pair of lita-lookalikes. The shade is Beige, but I think it's called apricot from some sellers as well. They are $24.99 with a 10% off at the moment. The shipping to Norway is $29.99, but I think it would be worth it, because they are gorgeous! The seller of these are *v*boots2shoes*v*.


These are from the same seller as above. The price and shipping is the same, but the shade is Taupe. These are currently sold out in all US sizes 7 through 8.5 though =(


These are some super simple low canvas shoes.
The reason I want these are because my fake converse are broken... I want these in both white and black, haha! They are $12.90 with free shipping (yay!) from wonderfulbuying36588 and they are also avaliable in gray.
'

Look at these beauties! I am willing to take a chance that these will not fit my high instep, just because if they fit, I will have a new love! They are obviously in black, but I would like the camel-color too, just because I don't have any brown shoes, and I think they would look good with a summer-dress and such. I would like these without the studs too, though! They are AU $29.98 (US $31.13) and AU $22.99 (US $23.87) from the seller urite. The seller has these shoes in black, camel and red (suede), and in the US sizes 4-8. 


Yes, I'm obsessed with spikes, and yes, I love high heels! 
As you can tell, most of them are dupes of jeffrey campbell shoes, haha! 

Which ones are your favourites?

DIY Bracelets + Bracelet Holder!

I have ordered quite a few different styles of beads on eBay.. If you'd like to know the price and seller, you can check out my eBay hauls: #1 #2 #3.

Because of that I've been really into making bracelets, and here are the five I've made so far:

For this bracelet I've used Skull Beads, 3mm silver ball beads, 8mm rondelle beads with black rhinestones and 5mm silver round beads.

Here I've used 4x6mm rondelle crystal beads and 3mm silver round beads.

This bracelet is made of 5mm silver round beads and tibetan skull charm beads.

Here I've used 8mm rondelle beads with black rhinestones, 5mm silver round beads and Howlite Skull Beads.

For this last one I've used 2.4mm gold round beads and the black 4x6 rondelle crystal beads.

These are the two simpler bracelets I've made.

I know you can't see that well, but here are my skull bracelets.
Skulls have been everywhere lately, and buying bracelets with skulls on them are so extremely expensive, so I just decided to make my own!

Which bracelet was your favorite? =)

If you'd like an awesome DIY-way to store all of your new bracelets, why don't you just make the Bracelet Holder in the video below?

My Tattoo!


Ok, so as you can probably understand from the title, I have a tattoo.
I actually got it today, and it didn't really hurt as much as I though it would, but I did feel it when he kept going over the places he'd already tattooed. I did feel it most the further up the wings he got. He drew it by hand after some pictures I really liked, because I didn't want something everybody else has.

It looked really good, but I wanted him to make the belly bigger, so now it's a little bit of a fat dove which I really like! It took almost an hour, because he went over everything several times to make sure it was perfect. 


I paid 1200NOK for it, which is aprox. £120, or $200. It is a little expensive, but I'm in love with it, so it was totally worth it. The studio I used was NeedleInk Tattoo and Piercing in Gran which is the town where I live.

I also had a friend film the prosess, so you'll get to see that when it's been uploaded HERE!
At the moment it's at 81%, so it probably wont take too long.

The reason I took my tattoo was my mother's mother who died 5 years ago on Easter Sunday(?). She had just turned 60 exactly 2 months ago, and it was a big shock when she died. We still do not know what it was, either, but now I have something to remember her by for the rest of my life!

What do you think?
