>> I have been stuck.
All of my ideas have run out of my head and I haven't been able to catch them.
And when your head is empty of ideas, it leaves room for much darker things to creep it.
These darker things were taking over my head, until yesterday, where I took a nap and had a dream.
I dreamt that I was looking over rooftops that stretched for miles and miles and suddenly in the window next to me appeared my grandfather, who's passed away.
He turned to me and said, "You should be downstairs having a wonderful time." so I started going downstairs, but I stopped halfway because I said to him; "I don't know how to have a wonderful time."
And he told me to do everything I was doing, but to do it backwards and upside down
and have a wonderful time doing it.
And I like that dream, because it feels like my granddad has managed to, from beyond the grave, tell me off for wallowing in self-pity, which sounds barrow. <<

Colourful Summer
Colourful summer
Hi everyone!
First of all, I want to apologize for my absence this summer. I've not only been without Wi-Fi for a long time, but also been busy with cleaning out my room, so that I can move into my sister's room, when I've painted it. So yes, I've been very busy, but I guess that's no excuse for not even doing a single blog post. But the thing is, that I've just not been in the mood, or inspired at all. You see, lately many things just seem to have gone wrong for me, and that just seems to have stopped me from doing anything that I planned to do this summer. And now, I've started in school again, so I guess this will just be another thing stopping me from doing posts. But I'll still try to do some every now and then, don't worry.
Anyway, I thought that I'd just let you know about some of these things, and also show you this makeup look I did last week. It's a very summery look, and also quite bright, so not really something you'd wear for everyday.

Purple spring look
Hey Guys!
Today, I'm sharing a really pretty summer appropriate makeup look with you. I was really inspired to do this look, because I saw a few tutorials using brighter colours, and when I then looked at the flowers in the garden of my summerhouse, I was so inspired to do this look.
The flowers that I was mainly inspired by, were the purple rhododendrons. They have this gorgeous purple shade, with a bit of peach detail, and a very soft look.
Here is the look.
How to achieve the look:
- Prime your eyelids, so that your eyeshadow will go on smoothly, and stay all day.
- Apply a very light brown throughout your crease, all the way from inner to outer corner. This will help create a soft look to the eyelook, and also help blend out the shadows.
- Apply a peachy-pink shade on your eyelid, but not all the way into the inner corner, only about halfway.
- Then apply a orchid purple throughout your crease, and onto the outer part of the eyelid. Make sure to blend it out, so that it looks soft.
- Apply a darker purple in the outer corner, in a slight V-shape, to intensify the eyes.
- Then blend a turquoise-green eyeshadow under your lower lashes, to symbolize the leaves of the flowers.
- Lastly, apply a light, pearly eyeshadow in the inner corner and on the brow bone, to brighten and highlight.
Here's just another picture of the eye look, where you are more able to see the green. (Please excuse the pimple /: )
Hope you have a nice day! <3

A few things I bought
Alright, so guess who went shopping again.
I bought a backup of my favourite spot treatment, and also a backup of my favourite powder for setting my concealer. Then I went to Lush, to check out their masks, and right there, in front of me, was the "Mask Of Magnaminty" which Jaclyn Hill has been raving about for ages. I couldn't stop myself from treating myself and getting it, since I knew it was a great product.
It was pretty much the same situation with Benefit's Porefessional. I knew that a load of people recommended it, and I even had a 20% off coupon, so I just went ahead and bought it, because this Saturday was a day where I bought stuff I didn't need, okay?!

Anyway, I'm planning on doing a load of reviews, of products I've bought over the last couple of months, in about two weeks time. "Why not now?", you might think. Well, I'm going on a Biology trip this Thursday and Friday, and the upcoming week is absolutely packed with tests, projects and appointments. I'll of course try to make a post in the weekend of that week, but I can't promise that I will, since I'm so busy. Sorry about this, but I promise you that I will do many more posts when I have free in the summer.
But don't you worry, I've made a long list of posts I want to do, and if you want me to review something, just go ahead and ask!
Love y'all! <3
(Sorry for the boring post...)

White Spring
White Spring
Hey Guys!
Today I'm just doing a quick outfit post, for spring. I'm really sorry that I've been slacking on blogging lately, but I'm not kidding when I'm saying that I've had a test every week the last three or four weeks! That, including all the homework, has been taking up my time, and all the blog posts I wanted to do for you, were just not ready to be posted yet. For example, I'm really wanting to do a beauty haul, but I just haven't gotten around to finish the editing of the pictures.
Anyway, here's the outfit!
Jeans: Zara
Tank top: H&M basics
Blouse: Secondhand4sale (H&M)
Semi-precious stone necklace: SIX
Gold pendant necklace: H&M Divided
PS: I'm gonna do a tutorial on the makeup/eye look I'm wearing, since it's a really creative colorful spring/summer look!
