Background Makeover

Hello,

I've been painting quite a lot these days...I'm  a bit slow, I don't know...I don't think there's something wrong with me, just oil painting and layering is a bit of a bummer sometimes. 

Anyway, I came back to the painting which I'd started in the summer...and I thought it needs a proper makeover. It seems I'll go for a more classical background ( of course, it will have more of a landscape detail to it soon). I really love dark backgrounds and I thought it kinda matches this one, but then, after a few months, I decided otherwise.

It's still NOT done...I think it'll take me another year to finish, but I love to spend so much time on painting, even though I keep on complaining, hah. I've heard it's very wrong to show unfinished work, but I don't really care...

It's difficult to take a proper photo of  wet paintings, trust me!

New one!

Older  version!

More to come.

Live long and prosper.

Lovecats

Hello,

Just a short note...I managed to finish two bracelets/bangles...Cat theme at last, as requested.  I really hoped to do more, sadly I feel a bit bad these days... but I'm not here to complain, I'm getting better and I'll post new ones in a few days.

I think I'm going to keep the grey and black one for myself, I like simple design of it.  (I can paint more  of them in case if anyone wants). My brother suggested that I should make "bespoke" bracelets with the real cats. I liked this idea! So, if you want anything like that, feel free to email me. Thanks!

The purple one has 3 different white cats

Sorry for horrible photos, it was dark and my battery was dying!

More to come soon.

The bad news is that I'm running out of bracelets, I think I need to order more just now.

See you soon,

Speedy Delivery

Hey,

So, I'm writing about make up again...I don't really know what happened to me, but I'm so in love with make up these days. Two years ago I got a bag of stuff from MAC and been using it all the time. Surprise, surprise -  suddenly I got bored  to death with it...

Anyway, I ordered some stuff from Asos, as they had/still have?/ free worldwide delivery (yay). The most amazing thing is that it arrived in 3 days, I still can't believe it. The only bad thing is that my card has been blocked because apparently my personal data leaked...(but my new card just arrived, yay!)

I'll start with my favourite product.

I'm not a huge lip gloss person, so I thought it's a great way to get many colours for little money. I paid £14 for a set of 8, 5ml.

The colours are lovely, sheer, the taste/smell isn't overpowering ( a bit like bubble gum), they're not sticky and in fact, they're quite moisturising. The only drawback, I would say, is the tingle...I can't decide if I like it, or not. I don't care that much, but I can imagine days when I'll find it annoying. Anyway, good value for money!

Now, what I like less, but can't complain since I only paid £5 for the whole set.

Black Kohl, Volumising Big Brush Mascara and lipstick in Baby Pink

 I'll start with the lipstick...the colour is absolutely appalling....I can't imagine anyone for whom it would be a flattering shade. It's too white and makes your teeth look yellow. It reminds me of a shade you would get in a Barbie set for little girls.

Kohl is quite nice, proper black, smooth, doesn't shift much...but I love eyeliners, so I'm not really sold on this.

My fave product is Big Brush Mascara, it's very natural, doesn't create dramatic effect, which is great for day time look.  My lashes look much better, but I can hardly tell that I have any mascara on. 

I'd swatch them, but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested...so let me know, if you like.

I was about to write about eyeshadows too, but this post is way too long already.
See you soon!
