Nothing in there, nothing at all.

Hi.

I have very little to say.
Summer has been cold. I have worn shorts only twice, not to mention my summer dresses!.... This summer I have also eaten less ice cream than ever!!
 

I spent the whole June working. Rising everyday at 5 am was tiring.
But well, interesting job combined with study points and money, I can't really complain.

Due to the fact that I was working, I had a boring birthday, but celebrated it with a friend afterwards.

 

And now because it's holiday, it's time for nail art!
 

 

Even though it's holiday I have been writing a research-thingy for my uni studies.
I have also been under stress about other study things and work, so I haven't felt myself very relaxed.
I'm always uncomfortable anyway so that's like nothing. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧❀ฺฺ

But drawing is giving me power.
My mother was cleaning, found some papers and gave them to me. Among those was a bundle of Russian papers. I tried drawing on it, but the paper was too porous for my liking.
I suppose it wasn't even meant for pencils, but oh well.
 

a guy on a Russian paper - note my fabolous bedsheets 

New papers are giving me so much inspiration. Earlier I have mostly used standard A4 sized copy paper.
For me, A3 is like a challenge, which I gladly take! And I'm in love with black paper! ♥

We took a short trip to Helsinki, just for fun. There we visited Kiasma, Ateneum, art galleries, second hand stores etc.

We also had so tasty lunch in a vegetarian pop-up restaurant Soi Soi.
I would have highly recommended it, but they have closed the pop-up already!

Seitan sauce with sweet potato french fries, dressings, and salads ♥

We also happened to find a cute candy shop Sweetheart.
Their handmade marshmallows were so tasty and fluffy~♥ Honestly best marshmallows I have ever eaten~
For example the raspberry marsmallow tasted just like real raspberries!!
 

By the way, I have eaten too much cake.





Rhubarb and coconut mousse cake
Rhubarb pie
Cherry cake
Coconut cake with rhubarb jam (the jam was leftover from the mousse cake)
Chocolate-marshmallow cake
And potato bread (not a cake lol)

Another proof that this summer haven't been glorious is that although summer is already this far, we haven't had a strawberry cake. That injustice is probably corrected tomorrow.

Also, soon, but later than usually, it's time to pick blueberries!

 



bye!★

I love the rain I love the night

My head is full of plans.

I'm going to Hungary next month! One of my friends is half-Hungarian and her family has a vineyard there. Our little gang is going to explore Hungary more like through natives eyes as we have so well-informed, language speaking guide! It's going to be very exciting!!!

I also got a summer job! I'm doing some serious business the whole June! And write my school-thingy the whole July, that's a well planned holiday for you...

Anyway I'm so hyped.

In the previous post, I was frustrated about finding a pale bb cream.

I finally found one:
 

Missha Signature Real Complete BB cream  #13

The color is very light, it has a pinkish tone, so this isn't the perfect fit for those with yellow undertones like me. It tends to make my pale face look a bit white. I like to mix it with my Lioele bb to get better (more yellow) shade, doing this I have found a mix that looks very natural. I was really relieved. And what's more, it doesn't contain parabens! Woohoo! The texture is quite liquid and this doesn't stay on my face as well as Missha's Perfect cover bb, but I like it still.

I bought some dresses for summer:
 

I have never really been into wearing skirts or dresses, though I like them a lot.
Gotta throw away all of my insecurities and show my legs when they still look almost decent, haha.
I have been working out but still a lot needs to be done.

... I have been using too much money lately....

 



Malai Kofta & Vegetable Korma

I went to Nepalese restaurant - twice, two different restaurants. Food was so good~~~

Next week we'll maybe try out the local Japanese restaurant.

 

Here is an Easter cake:
 

Orange-lemon-coconut cake

Some of my friends came to visit and I asked them to finish the cake decoration.
It turned out pretty cute! (note: there is even a bunny)

This is seriously one of my favourite cakes~♥ So fluffy, fresh and sweet! ♥
but required hell of the work, my hands were stinging when I was making the citrus jam and peeling off fruit membranes of the oranges and lemons. But totally worth it!

Since I had two weeks holiday around Easter, I was able to do my nails.
 

I guess I'm supposed to feel relaxed because I have finished my 90 hours independent studies and one massive exam known as "the hardest", but somehow something is bothering me

and I can't relax. I feel I should be doing something but there's a little to do.

 

...And now I'm fading away

bye!★

Random Head Shakes

Hi!

It's January again, and the new year. The autumn (and the christmas) went so quickly, it's confusing.
Nothing has changed. I'm still studying (too) hard. Hating everything and everybody on mondays, after that living the never ending thursday.

Latest purchases:
 

~It's skin Babyface bb cream Silky~

I saw this on instagram and I just had to get this = an impulse buy? Maybe not, because I did a little research about the product before purchasing. But the cuteness is the main reason, I won't even try to hide it.
 

I really like the color of this bb! It fits well to my skin color; it's not grayish or too yellow or dark; it looks very natural on my face. The worst thing about this is the light coverage, but fortunately this is buildable; I still have to use concealer though. The scent is really pleasant, it reminds me of a candy. It's almost ridiculous how smooth and soft this makes my skin.
This is a very nice bb and I like it a lot, but it's not perfect for me. The bb is somewhat dry, and since my skin is quite dry, this bb looks, well, a bit dry and cakey. :( I haven't had that problem with Missha... Worth trying anyway, I bet this looks better when my skin is in better condition! The Babyface line has also an another option, Moisture for dry skin - Silky it's for oily skin. My skin is both, so I don't know if I only chose the wrong one...
 

By the way, even though my face is all smooth and bouncy, it's in the same time dry on the surface,
thanks to medicines and cold winter weather...
 

that text under the seal cracks me up... Jeju natural mineral - From Nature!

My skin is quite oily, and it's hard to find  a good powder. I have used only Stay Matte pressed powder by Rimmel, which is an ok powder and leaves me wanting something better. I have wanted to give a try for a loose powder.
 

This powder is very fine milled, translucent (white) powder. It has a weird, but not necessarily bad,  herb-like scent, which I suppose to be the mint. It leaves skin looking very good, the oil control is so much better than in Rimmel's powder. After using this for a while, I'm quite pleased with this Innisfree powder. The oil control isn't perfect, because I start to have a little shine after a couple of hours. But then I just blot, and my makeup stays on looking good very long. I guess I will stick with this for a while!

With those purchases, I received also some samples! It's always nice to get samples.

Purito is a brand I had never heard of before. I think I wouldn't have bought the SNAIL extract containing products myself, the whole idea is so weird XD But now I have chance to test them, it will be interesting!

I spent my christmas Holiday in my parents place. I had an exam right after the holiday so I had to study.  Christmas was the most boring I have ever had. We had somewhat plain christmas cakes this year, I didn't even bother to take pictures of all of them but...

...I made tiramisu for the first time!
It didn't taste good because I don't like coffee, but others liked it = success.
 

~~~~~I want to bake again~~~~

lingonberry-cheesecake

Since I can use nailpolish only in holidays I should put more effort into them when I can. I was tired when I did these --> boring, sob sob.
 

Lately I have watched much old anime; currently I'm watching Magical Angel Creamy Mami. I'm enjoying it a lot, it's so funny and magical girls are close to my heart. There are so many forgotten pearls among old anime! I highly recommend to watch Akira, it was so awesome, and so is the manga, and the soundtrack too! The Five Star Stories was also good.

~Having too much self-criticism isn't good~

I'm being too negative.
Our older collegue told us to live but I don't know what that means.
l'm tired, so

bye!★

+ SPARKLY + DECIMALS +

Hello!

~I will just go on without thinking too much~

 

Here are some new makeup purchases:

Skinfood Aloe Sun Bb cream (sample), Lioele Triple the Solution Bb cream ( with the package) and Baby Lips Cherry Me Lip Palm

Lioele Triple the Solution Bb cream was on my wishlist.

I really like this product! ♥ It has quite thick texture. The coverage is surprisingly good! This really makes miracles to my skin - my skin is in really good condition now. The redness and oiliness have decreased and there isn't so many breakouts anymore!! Therefore it isn't a surprise that I think I like this even more than the bb of Missha, which I suspect causing me some breakouts..... Lioele bb also stays on my face better, I like the color and the finish more, it's more natural on my skin. But at first I was quite shocked when I changed from the pale Missha (shade 21) to a bit darker Lioele.

I haven't tried that bb by skinfood yet, but somehow I don't even have very high expectations... I have still one bb cream on my wishlist, however I guess that I will use those two for a while before purchasing a new one.

And I just couldn't resist buying the red Baby Lips~ It is my favourite now♥

What would my blog be without food porn? Here you go:

 

We made some sushi~

My sister had a birthday and my friends came to visit, so I just had to bake cakes!♥
I also baked Aunt Hannah's cakes and gingerbread cookies with Aura cheese.

For my sister: cherry-chocolate cake decorated with Daim

For friends: marshmallow chocolate cake

Lunch with Mom, Greek food - Orektiko

Days have been colder so I have been able to wear my new yellow jacket!

It's funny to be yellow as I am usually so black.

I have had to keep my clothes quite plain and neat because of my uni studies, which is a pity.

And I can't even use nail polish!! That really sucks but I will cope with it because that rule is relevant.

Holiday nails

I had also a chance to adventure with my baby♥ I had to leave her in a cave with some creepy creatures ;____;
I hate caves!!!

I'm really busy with my studies. It takes so much of my time, the days feel so long. But on the same time... ...I'm excited!! lol




bye!★

Dream or Truth – Empty Girl

Hello again!

I'm lazy to take outfit pictures, it's a bad thing for my so called style diary.
Anyway, here's some:

I picked blueberries - and other berries -  as planned. It's so relaxing to be in the woods~  You get some physical exercise too when you pick so it's pretty nice. I tend to listen bands like Girugamesh and Dir en grey,
when picking berries listening to them just feels right.
Growling and screaming are very suitable to the silence of the woods♥

Even though everyone said there's no blueberries anywhere, we have found them in many places and picked a decent amount to our freezer.

My work ended so I was able to paint my nails again♥ ;_______;

My sister had her 23th birthday and we baked a cake together:
 

The Groke from the Moomins!!! It is pretty scary......

The Groke is scary, I would die if I encountered the real Groke at night....

(but I still think that the Lady of the Cold would be even worse thing to face,

she is dangerous for real, while the Groke is only very very lonely!)

 

the birthday table - Groke is going to eat the other cake!!

Still one week of holiday left. I'm just going to be lazy while I can, meet my friends, visit Ikea and that kind of things~~ In addition to improving my style, my newest project is to renew the contents of my makeup pouch - to find the  best makeup products for me.

 

Even though weather has gotten chillier, I  like the early autumn, it's so refreshing and pretty!

bye!★
