Vacation Pic Spam!

I didn't do anything super special during vacation, just visiting my relatives in a small town and hanging at my parents' place. Anyways, here's some pictures from my summer vacation 2012!!

From Kuhmo

Uncle's lady friend's cute puppy <3

From Lappeenranta

Bunch of rings I bought in the wrong size, luckily I could change them to smaller ones :'D

I went to a couple of flea markets with Henna <3

Wanted to try this hairstyle, needs a bit of tweaking but I looooove it <3

I DO have shorts as well! :'D

Made fruit salad with my sister for breakfast!

I also received some packages today~ About these in the next post! o7

Thanks for reading! ^^

Summer Vacation Face

Decided to go back to my old hairstyle: a short bobcut.

Random dressing room face of the day. Finally wearing circle lenses without having to gouge my eyes out for being super dry and itchy!
I've been spending my vacation (one week only, wohoo!) in Kuhmo meeting my relatives, and now in Lappeenranta at my parents' place. Today I met up with lovely Henna, we went to Rosso where I ate a kids' meal and she ate my dessert : D After she left to pick up her sister I went to Seppälä and _finally_ found a nice black skirt, pictures will be shown later. I also bought some random rings.
I have some pictures, but it's a pain in the ass trying to edit them on my old laptop, which unfortunately is the only option at the moment. So I'll get back to blogging after this week!

New false lashes!

Today I received to packages of new false lashes from eBay, so I decided to try a different kind of make up with upper and bottom lashes. At first I thought I look _really_ weird, but after a while it kind of grew on me : D What do you think? I have to practice more putting them on though!

Also, could anyone recommend a good lash glue?

Hair, hair and hair.

So like I said in the previous post, this one will be about hair.

To say the least, I have always had quite a lot of difficulties with my hair. Mainly because it is super thin. And when I say thin, I mean _thin_. So I have had my share of trouble for finding a nice hairstyle, since all of them tend to not just look better with thick hair, but actually look bad with thin hair.

When I was in junior high school I started to dye my hair quite often. With some special colors, I mean. These days all of these are quite common, at least in Helsinki, but I remember people laughing and pointing at me in my hometown back then. But since I was such a snowflake I probably just took it as a compliment, haha.
And I know some of you are probably thinking now something along the lines "Well your hair must be thin because you have dyed it so often!", BUT. When I'm looking at these pictures I see my hair looks way more thick in those pictures than it does now (and I had dyed my hair for quite a long time before my first blue dye!).  Anyways, the reason why my hair is really thin now, at least I think, is because one and a half year ago I had a super stressful school game project where I was the project leader. I also took permanent curls last May. And finally, I had some unfortunate events in my family since the end of last year, so I'm still quite stressed over a lot of stuff. It feels like my hairbrush is always full and so much hair is falling out ; _ ;
The only good thing about my hair that I can think of is that it really very soft and silky, so it feels nice. But I would rather have it looking awesome. At least my natural color is very much to my liking these days!

So like a year ago I started eating these capsules called Priorin. I don't really see much difference (might be due to the reasons mentioned above) but my mom said my hair looks thicker. So.... who knows! I'm not eating those at the moment, but I think I'll start again now that I have a salary and not just my student allowance : D

Anyways, I've been trying to grow my hair long for two years now. The progress has been quite slow, and I'm not sure if my own hair is made for lenghty locks. So I'm going to cut my hair short, and just possibly purchase a wig! But let's see.

My current hair after shower and without products.

  So, here's some hairstyles I'm fond of/considering. Most of them are from http://www.short-hairstyles.com/ and others are just by googling "short hair" or something along those lines!

Some sort of very short bob. I loooove the most bottom one, but my hair is straight as an arrow so I don't know if I would be able to style it like that (in a way that it would stay like that longer than half an hour...).

Something "inbetweenish", still quite long but a bit more boyish.

 SHORT! The last one at least doesn't require a huge amount of hair, I suppose.
And my favourite that I already posted before, but still: PRETTY!!!

Even though I still have like two weeks before my hairdresser appointment I think I'll have a difficult time deciding what to do. Hopefully the hairdresser can help me decide which style would suit the shape of my face and my hair type.

Sorry for the superlong post and rant : D Any comments about hair (or anything else!) is very welcome, this is one of my favourite subjects since I'm always struggling with my hair ^^'

Cravingggg~

Yesterday morning I got a HUGE craving for almond pockys! Since I knew Tokyokan is closed on Sundays I decided to check this another asian shop that I remember Amanda mentioned in her blog: Luca. Since the website said it's open I decided to try it out!
Well, unfortunately they didn't have them at the moment. I talked with the shop clerk for a while and he said they sell out very fast! He was a very nice guy, he offered me some candy samples when I entered the shop! He also said I could leave my phone number so they will send me a sms when they get a new patch, since they should get some this week! So hopefully I'll receive a message soon! : )
Anyways, I couldn't leave withouth buying anything since the store was full of cute stuff (I wanted to buy a purse sooooo badly, but I restrained myself *_* Although I might buy it after I go back for pockys :'D) so this is what I decided to spend my money on:

Phone charm - 9,90€

 It was a bit pricey, but I just love stuff like that : D It's soooo soft and cute!! I also bought another phone charm about a week ago, here's a picture of it with my phone:

So.... old...... =_='

I want to get an iPhone soooo badly T_T Well at least my phone is pink, so I'm still quite happy with it, haha. Well, anyways.....

On my way home I finally decided to try a melon slushie! I loooove slushies, they're to best! I'm so happy I can find them so easily here in Helsinki <3
Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture when I bought it, so in this picture it's already half empty ^^'

At first I didn't really like the taste that much, but after a few sips it started to taste quite good! Yum yum! And it's pink, so what's not to like : D

And here's Sunday's face and outfit. I don't wear (circle)lenses at work, since I don't want to have them on my eyes over the time limit my optician recommended for me. So I can only use them on my free time. I was a bit disappointed since my eyes felt _really_ dry yesterday, so I thought it would be for the best not to put on lenses. I wanted to do something out of my ordinary look though, so I added lashes. They might look a bit heavy just on their own, but nonetheless I kind of liked how they looked~

Not sure if you can see from the picture how red my eyes were ._.

Top - Cubus      Shorts -Random shop in Tokyo

I also bought some new facestuff from the drug store. The L'oreal products I mentioned in this post didn't seem to work for me, so I decided to get a face mask and a very light moisturiser.

Neutrogena - 7,90€         Humektan - 9,50€

I have used some of Neutrogenas products before, but I didn't think they were anything special. Well, I decided to try this one and switch my moisturiser for this very basic lotion. Let's see if it helps!!
(Too tired to check for typos, hopefully it's not full of them =_=' Next up will probably be hair-related post!!)

Summer Purchases

So, here's the stuff I bought recently! I couldn't find the receipts anymore so I can't remember the exact prizes, though . _ .'

Makeup pouch - ~3€

This pouch was discounted since it had the tiniest rip! Bought from Day, which is like the best place for all the home-related stuff *_*

Pearls from Glitter - 7€

Keychain from MicMac - 1€

Brown bag from Glitter -  was -50% so the final price was ~18€

Shoes from Anttila - were -40% so the final price was ~24€

I had my eyes on these shoes at the beginning of June, but since they cost more than 40€ I thought it was a bit too pricey. I'm glad I chose to wait! Now I just have to get used to walking with these :'D

Red is not my color

You'll never guess where I work!! Which will probably be the only place where I will wear that thing, haha :'D But I guess it's good for lazy days~ And also, it was free.

I also got some much cuter stuff from work some time ago, but I haven't gotten enough time to took pictures!

Also, here's one inspirational photo I stumbled across!

I'm thinking of cutting my hair short, oh how I wish I looked as pretty as she does with my hair short *_* (or in general, you know :'D)

Today I reserved the ticket's to see the new Spider-man movie on Friday *_* Can't wait, I love superheroes and Spidey is one of my favourites <3

Summer Greetings~

Long time no update! Not much has happened, but here's some pictures!!

 My midsummer was quite boring. I just stayed at home with my parents. Also I had some sort of rash next to my eye so that's why I'm wearing huge sunglasses (and it was a sunny day) and no make up under those!

I had time to meet Piia! She is so pretty and stylish *_* We went to sit in a cafe and wandered around shops, it was very relaxing~ I also saw Henna later that day, but I don't have any photos of that :/ Also, here's a very bad quality mirror picture of what I wore that day!

Shirt - Liz Lisa  Jeans & Bag - H&M  Shoes - eBay

When I came back home last Wednesday I saw a full rainbow for the first time in my life! But I was in a train and didn't get a good picture of it. But when I got back to my apartment there was another pretty one! The picture doesn't quite portray how big and bright it was irl, though.

And for this weekend my dear Maria came to visit <3 I had such a great time with her, we just talked and went shopping and saw a movie! I wish we could see each other more often, it's too bad we always live in different cities >:

I look huge!! Maria looks cute <3

Aaaannnddd that's about it, I guess! I hope it's sunny during weekend so I can go to the beach with my sister and enjoy the warmth of the summer : ) I'm going to do a purchase post as soon as possible as well!
