Art Deco shopping

First day of my holiday. My night was short, wasn't able to sleep before two in the morning and woke up at five again. So was a bit tired and lazy all day. After noon I decided to go to the nearest shopping center, mainly because there is a sushi take away. But of course I also did some shopping.

I got a lipstick from the Art Deco Dita von Teese limited edition and a Mineral powder foundation. The lipstick is number 645, a lovely, pinkish red, best described as fuchsia. It gives a very smooth finish and looks ok for ages. I ate and drank and only noticed that it faded a bit, but it still looked neat and nice. And the bit I applied on the back of my hand as swatch still haven't really gone away after washing my hands at least five times.

I also like the Mineral powder foundation, this one is number 4, which is quite a bit darker than number 3. I use number 3 for the winter months but now it is too fair for me, I look a bit ghostly-pale when I put it on. I normally use a liquid foundation by Catrice or the matte mouse by Maybelline and then some powder (the cheap 1.99£ one from Natural Collection at Boots which takes ages to use up) but when it has to go quickly I love the powder foundation as it is two products in one.

There was just one small downside of my shopping. I was quite sure that the lipstick was labeled with 19.90 franks, though in the end it was 29.900 (which I only noticed when I was back home, otherwise I would have asked) and there was not pricetag on the powder... As I didn't asked.... It was 49.90.... If I'd knew that I don't think I bought it.... But well! They last forever, most likely much longer than my liquid foundation of which I always bin quite a bit as I'm not able to get it out of the bottle.

 My whole shopping. Powder, lipstick, notebook, mousse au chocolat

Fear no more the heat of the sun

I bought a straw hat on Saturday. I had one when I was a small child and ever since wanted to have one again, but somehow never bought one. Now I did and I just have to wear it now....

Nilpfi (which means hippo), my toy hippopatamus played model. Thanks Nilpfi, you did a great job! You'll for sure be the next Kate Moss!



When Nilpfi saw my workers scarf yesterday she wanted to have a similar one though it looks more like a turban! (yes, I love to dress up my plushies and I also have a doll which has a whole wardrobe of baby clothes. And yes, I am childish! And yes, I don't mind!)
