Happy New Year, Dyrberg Kern Sale and EOTD

Happy New Year! Hope you guys had a fun night :)

I was out shopping a bit yesterday, and discovered that one of my favorite makers of jewelry is having a sale (online as well as in the stores): Dyrberg Kern. All the autumn/winter collections are discounted. I had gotten a bit of it for Christmas, and I picked up a few pieces in the sale:

The two necklaces on the left are from the Caviar collection while the bracelets are from the Cushion collection. Both collections have a 40% discount on the website (I'm not affiliated though I totally wish I was!). Sorry about the crappy pics. The ones on the website are way better.

Ok, enough shopping for now. I get asked a lot why I don't do FOTD (face of the day) or EOTD (eye of the day) with all the makeup I buy. There are several different reasons. I generally don't do very dramatic makeup. Quite often it's boring neutral looks. I don't have the time to take good pictures of my makeup. I do my makeup in the morning when, and it's often pretty dark. Finally I have horrendous, uncoverable undereye circles and wrinkles from using contacts not very gently for 15 years. Because of the circles, anything but light eyeliner on my lower lashline makes me look extremely sick and tired.

That said, here is an EOTD that I was actually pretty happy with. The phono didn't turn out so hot, but oh well!
I used MAC Bare Study as a base with MAC Ricepaper all over the lid, MAC Expensive Pink and Sketch in the outer V and crease, and MAC Vanilla for my brow highlight. MAC Embronze glitter liner on the upper lashline and Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara. You really can't see all this stuff on the eye; can you?

Bling Rings

I'm not ashamed to admit that I need to wear a bit of bling once in a while. For that purpose I love my bling rings. The four I'm showing here; I've bought on ebay. I don't remember the seller, but the two Butler & Wilson rings should be easy to find by searching for "Butler & Wilson". The other two can be found by searching for "Snake ring"

Butler & Wilson Black Lizard Ring. I wear this one a lot:

Butler & Wilson Pink Rose ring:
Copper Snake Ring:
Black Snake Ring. This one was dirt cheap, but it's also not as nice as the others:

My ring (and my shoes!)

Hi again ladies!

The wedding went great! I had such a good time, and I think the guests did too. The food was great!

I don't have any pictures of my wedding manicure. It chipped too fast :( It still looked pretty good though. I wore Nubar Baby Blue with a coat of SpaRitual She's A River. I might try to recreate the mani sometime later this week. Here is the ring:

It's made from red and white gold with 3 tiny baby diamonds. Here it is on my finger (with no mani, oh my!):

A my wedding shoes! I wore a black dress.

I have to say they aren't the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, but fortunately there were a lot of chairs.

We haven't gotten any of the pictures from the wedding, but I'm hoping we will soon. I like my dress even though it wasn't a traditional wedding dress at all.

Ahhh, January sales

Just returned from shopping. I'd gotten a gift card for christmas and it was burning a hole in my pocket.
The nail polishes are GOSH Gasoline and Rimmel Time Out.

Necklaces from Pilgrim's 2008 collections. They were 50% or more off. I love Pilgrim jewellery.

Mail order haul fra Asos.com. They are having a great sale. I also got a hand cream, but I forgot to include it in the pic.

Random Pictures

Since I know how much you love my non nail related posts (I kid, I kid, I know you hate them), have some random photos I took:

This year's advent wreath (check wikipedia if you want some more info about advent wreaths). We don't really light the advent wreath for religious reasons. More because it's a beautiful christmas tradition.

Another pretty christmas ornament. This one is hanging on our front door.

A simple bracelet that I got for breast cancer awareness month.

My new boots (made of vegan leather).

Stay tuned for a pic of the view from my kitchen window!
