Colour me cute!

Sorry for the silence on this blog, but life got in the way. My cat is sick, so if someone wants to include her in their evening prayers, we'd appreciate that! I was tagged by the lovely shelynx from Der Blasse Schimmer , which is a word play on the saying, "I don't have the faintest idea" - "ich habe keinen blassen Schimmer" in German, and the fact that "blass" means pale. I always enjoy reading blogs by other pale ladys because as you know, I don't stick out much from the wall behind me. xD (I'm no wallflower, however, and like my bright colours.) Anyway, she tagged me on the topic of beauty , so I am going to write a little something about my views on beauty. Do share yours if you feel like it!  Before I start, these are the rules: Mention the blogger who tagged you and link to their blog Write 8 things about you related to the topic chosen by that blogger Tag eight people Tell those eight people about it. Make up your own top...

Sorry, folks, still working on that thesis. >___< Recently, on a German beauty blog I follow, someone mentioned a spelling mistake the blogger makes a lot, and pretty much every other comment was about how this one person who dared to highlight the mistake should stop caring so much or just open a spelling blog instead. I don't think that a typo is the end of the world, but I do like to read blogs that are as mistake-free as possible, and I would definitely appreciate it if you pointed out any mistakes to me, especially since I'm writing this blog in a language that's not my native one. So while I agree that a mistake is not a big deal, I don't think we should go and attack someone who points one out in a nice way. This also made me think how some beauty bloggers are totally meticulous about their eye make-up or foundation routine, but don't care about spelling or grammar all that much. Why can't we put a little effort into both? It's a way of s...

I was this close to buying a Rouge Coco Shine, and I've always wanted the Mademoiselle fragrance, but recently, I've found out that Coco Chanel not only wasn't particularly against the nazis, she also promoted tanning. Well, thank you, Ms. Chanel, for all those people who feel like coming up to me and telling me to go out and tan a little or asking if I don't any friends to take me out of the house sometimes.

... possibly when I'm done with my thesis, I have to place an order here: http://salenail.com/index.php Although I find it a bit hard to order colours only based on online swatches. And I'm not doing crazy colours and nail designs very often these days. Lately, I've become more of a neutral eye make-up and reddish/rosey lipstick kind of person, it seems. They just suit me better, and they're definitely much more work-appropriate.

Specifically, a neutral rosey pink. (Although to those people who tend to think of warmer shades like the Japanese PK ones, I should probably say a cool-neutral pink.) It should look like the very first picture here on A Touch of Blusher . Any suggestions? If possible, Japanese (and not completely matte, although also not glittery or -ugh- frosty) lipsticks, although I'm afraid with such a specific wish, I'll probably have to venture into different brands, maybe even MAC.

I haven't even managed to pick up one of the new nail polishes yet, and the #700 eye colour is still on my wishlist, too, but this: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/hsiaobao/11570694 Torn between 100 and 300 at the moment, and you?
