GLAMOROUS HALFSKULL

My first Halloween makeup look for you all. It's inspired by the half-human/half-skull thing that a lot of people do. I think it's more fun than to just do the skull thing. It's a bit more interesting in my opinion.
 It wasn't to hard, and it didn't take that long either. Not even an hour of work. And I think the result is pretty awesome. Obviously I'm not a pro, but I think it turned out pretty great!

For makeup I just used some halloween makeup that I got last year. Some fake blood and some normal makeup for the "normal" side. Nothing to fancy.

What do you think I should do next?

OOTW-OUTFITS OF THE WEEK

⎥ MONDAY Flannel-ginatricot  T-shirt-H&M  Sweatpants-TeamSportia⎥
⎥ TUESDAY Dress-H&M  Cardigan-H&M  Tights-H&M⎥
⎥ WEDNESDAY Top-cubus  Disco pants-ebay⎥
⎥THURSDAY Sweater-bikbok  Leggings-Family House ⎥

These are all the outfits I've been wearing this week, except for friday where I wore the same thing as I did on wednesday. And I wore the disco pants on monday as well, but I was to lazy to put them back on...This kind of shows how my style always changes. Girly-tuesday, Edgy-wednesday and Casual-thursday. I can't really put a word for what "style" I have. Put I'm still learning and finding my style. This is just what I like to wear for now.

 You should also know that this is for school, so I don't always feel like putting any effort in my outfits. 

I think I will post a Halloween makeup look tomorrow or on Sunday, so keep an eye out for that. I was so excited when I found the halloween makeup since last year. It still looks pretty fresh, so I'm gonna use it!  

Happy Friday everyone!

WHICH MAKEUP LOOK?

Like I told you earlier I'm gonna do some different halloween looks that you can re-create for this years Halloween. And I'm just gonna tell you now that I am NOT a professional, just someone that really enjoys doing crazy/different types of makeup.

And now, onto what I wanted out of this. What looks do YOU wanna see???

Leave your comments below. Thanks!

SUNDAY BAKING

Is there anything better than the smell of fresh baked cookies in the morning? Even if there is, that's what I did this morning. I've been wanting to bake chocolate chip cookies for a long time, and today I did. They tunred out really good, and really delicious. 

 And, since I know that a lot of people like cookies just as much as I do, I deicded to share the recipe with you all. So here you go!

Ingredients

175g cooled melted butter

2 1/2 cups of brown sugar

1 cup of sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

5 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

100g dark chocolate chips

How to

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
2. Whisk butter, brown sugar and sugar until it's fluffy.
3. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk.
4. Mix the dry ingredients and stir them into the batter.
5. Add the chocolate chips and stir it all together.
6. Mix into a dough.
7. Click the dough on a baking sheet, greased or lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for about 15 minutes.
9. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet and then place them on a rack to cool completely.

I hope you enjoy your cookies, and I'll write soon!

MY TOP 10 BEAUTY TIPS

• Wash your face and moisturize every single day. It will keep your skin fresh and clean.

• DON'T WEAR MAKEUP EVERYDAY. It's not good for your skin and can cause breakouts.

• Use a good facial mask once a week. It will help clear up your skin.

• Try to have a healthy diet, or atleast eat as healthy as you can. Eating food that's "bad for you" isn't always good for your skin either.

• Drink A LOT of water. It helps clearing up your skin and is good for you in many different ways. 

• Buy products that are meant for YOUR skintype. Try to see if you have oily, dry, normal or combination skin. Cause using the wrong products might not help.

• Exercise! It's good for your body, skin and health. Working out a few times a week is good for not only your body, but also for your heart and your health.

• Do what makes YOU feel comfortable! If you like to wear a whole face of makeup, then do it! It's your decision, so don't lisetn to anybody else. It's the same if you don't want to wear makeup at all. It's your life!

• Take a break from wearing nailpolish every now and then. It's not good to constantly have nailpoish nailpolish on. Just a few days, or even weeks, is all it takes.

• And lastly, be yourself. I know it's a extremely cheesy thing to say, but it's true. You got put into this world for a reason, so don't waste it on being someone you're not.

We obviously know by now that my blogging hasn't been as good as it could. I've just had a lot in school and no inspiration, same excuse as last time. But I've re-found my inspiration, so now I'm gonna give this another try!
 So to start thing off again, I'm sharing todays outfit with you all. It's a very comfy/casual outfit. Nothing to fancy. I mean, who wants to be uncomfortable anyway? I know I don't, so that's why most of my outfits consist of leggings and a sweater or top.

As you probably can see by looking at the pictures, it was a beautiful day today. Cold. But really nice. Days like this remind of the fact that I love fall so much. It's always been my favorite season. The leaves, the colder weather and the clothes. Also, all the fun holidays takes place in the fall and winter time. Like Halloween and Christmas! Although we don't really celebrate halloween here, I'm still really excited.

Sorry for all the ramble, but I felt like telling you a bit more than just show my outfit. And also, tell you that there are more posts to come! I'm already working on one for tomrrow... AND, I was wondering if you wanted me to do some makeup looks for halloween? I'm not a makeup artist, but when it comes to halloween/costume makeup I love to play around with it.

Okay, bye!

MY TOP 10 HAIR TIPS

♡ Do not brush your hair when it is wet.

    It tears a lot and can cause hair to break or fall off.

♡ Avoid heat. The best thing you can do is to avoid the heat altogether. But if you can't then at least ALWAYS use a heat protecting spray.

♡ Sleep with your hair in braids.

    It'll damage the hair less. I do it quite often.

♡ Have a satin / silk pillowcase.

   I have and it also prevents damage and makes the hair softer.

♡ Use a hairmask at least once a week.

   I change up mine all the time. I use it on Sundays and me hair gets silky soft.

♡ Rinse out your conditioner with cold water.

   I do it every time and it makes your hair much softer and it is much better

   for the hair.

♡ Use a "sunscreen" spray in the summer. 

   It helps to protect your hair from the sun. I bought mine a few years ago and I love it.

♡ Use curlers instead of a curling iron.

   That's what I use to curl my hair. You get the "perfect curl" and it stays in 

   long and you use no heat at all. Sleep with them in.

♡ Try to avoid hairties with metal a buckle and hard clamps.

   They damage the hair, so buy hairties without metal a buckle. 

♡ Don't dye or bleach it to often. Try to stay away from that as much as you can.
