Awesome.

I finally found a solution to all my problems!

Well, maybe not all of my problems (it can't make my crazy mother in law relax and take it easy), but it can and it will organize all of my stuff. Okay, it can't do that neither, but it can contain most of what I need (My name is Tatiana and I am a makeup hoarder).

Tadaaaa!


The reason why I'm so excited is that I never get around buying anything to organize my things properly. This took me less than five minutes, didn't cost me anything and was just so easy :D Scissor and cardboard box... and done!
I do realize that it is ugly, but once I have the time (and some glue), I'll wrap it in some gift paper and add some shiny things ♥ Then I think it'll look really nice.

Looks or not, it does the job. It'll save me so much time in the morning When I don't have to look through a giant beauty bag to find one single thing.

For all my stuff I am gonna need another box, because...

Things just keep coming!!

Yup, I'm guilty.

Oh also this:


These brushes are soo nice and soft!! Can't wait to try them.
The mini bamboo brush set is so cute, and a really good size for when I am on the go. The only thing I'm worried about is the contour brush, since I think it might be just a tiny bit rough on the skin.

I love how e.l.f.'s brushes are cruelty free since I always feel bad when buying a brush that is not. The brushes are even eco-friendly! The kabuki brush is also cruelty free and anti-bacterial. NICE!!

I've become pretty bored with my hair lately, so I've been thinking about doing some changes.

I'll cut my hair this week, and maybe if I dare to, I'll try making bangs. (No way you're going through with that, you're such a chicken!) 

....and also this came through the mail today:

Yup, that's right, I'm going blonde.

Nah, I'm not really sure yet. I just thought it would be a fun experiment to see if my hair will actually do it.  My hair usually lightens very easily, so I'm wondering how it will turn out. If it won't do blonde, I'll dye it some pretty brown shade. 
I'm going to update on this blog during the whole blonde experiment, so be sure to come back :)

For the next few days I'll try and be really nice to my hair, since I usually torture the hell out of it. 2/3 times I don't condition in the shower because I'm too lazy. I never cut it and I never use those treatments that you can get for it. 

That whole thing is going to change now, otherwise I'll be going bald very soon. 
From now on I'll condition the living s**t out of it, and put on hair masks frequently. 
So much work sacrifice in the name of science :P 

I'm scared just thinking about cutting my long princess hair... Right now it looks like this:


(It doesn't really appear this much two-coloured in real life. Or so I think.)

Okay, so I got to run now. I got two school assignments to make today, cooking, cleaning and caring for a sick boyfriend to do. Before I go, I'll just add a few more pictures of my beautiful creation:


*le me is creative

e.l.f. a love story

I'm a sucker for e.l.f. cosmetics. 

They've got so many great products and the products are so very cheap! I almost had a heartattack first time I saw their prices. The girl in me almost started crying out of happiness.

I am addicted to beauty products and makeup, and those are usually very expensive in Denmark. I'm really good at using money, so I also try to keep my living costs down (which is hard when you prefer organic foods, even for your dog). Discovering e.l.f.'s website really saved me a lot. Even though every order needs to be shipped from the UK to here, they often have discount codes for savings or free delivery, or some cool campaign going on.

Right now they got some free delivery going on. I used the code PINKYSEARCHEU and got free delivery along with some voucher. Only downside was, that you have to use at least 10 euros to use the code. I didn't really mind much because it was a good excuse for me to get some more stuff guilt-free.

I also really like their brushes. They are really cheap, and I believe all of them (maybe just most) are cruelty-free.

So a delivery for me is on the way... Wait, didn't I already..? Oh right, I just got an earlier order today, from when they had another campaign going on. Wow... just realized how addicted I am. Two orders within 10 days. I need help.

Can't wait to try it out, though!


Actually, I only bought the lashes, the concealer, the eyeliner and the eyebrow kit. The rest was included in a mystery gift bag I got for free from using a code. Included in the bag was the eyeshadow, the cream eyeliner, the lip gloss and a really awesome bamboo brush. 

Think I'll try it all out tomorrow and then post it if I have the time. Got a ton of homework to do.

Right now I'm at my in-laws house, and it looks like an easter bunny came and threw up all over the place. My mother-in-law is so cute. She always decorates like crazy when a holiday is coming up.

One of her decorations I really like - it is a basket full of colored eggs. I love how it looks so happy and playful. 


A little easter game


My mother in law told me that the coloured eggs is an orthodox tradition (she is orthodox). She believe that a woman came to Jesus when he was on the cross and put some eggs under it. Jesus bled, and the blood turned the eggs red. While I do not really share her beliefs, I really like the tradition. They usually play a game with the eggs before they eat them, so my boyfriend and me tried it out as well.
At first we had to say something in romanian. My romanian is terrible, so I'll just write in english what we said.

Catalin: Jesus has risen
Tatiana: Is that so/so he has

Then one of the two has to try and break the other one's egg with his/her own egg. The owner of the egg that breaks can then eat it. The "winner" has to compete with someone else the same way.
