My winter break

I got home a couple of hours ago, after spending three days with my mum and sisters in our holiday home by the sea, which was great. I love being home because my mum makes my favourite dishes and we have so much more fun than when I lived at home. I rarely go home, but when I do, we always go somewhere fun or play some games. It's like I appreciate my mum so much more when I don't see her every day. When I lived with them, we used to argue daily, mostly over dumb things lke not taking out the trash or leaving my glass in the sink. It doesn't happen so much when I'm just visiting. I love that.

When I got off the train, it was kind of necessary to pick up some groceries in the nearest grocery store, and I found this:

Two entire rows of ELF-makeup. I love this, because it's about £1.50 and just as good as the more "expensive" brands like Rimmel London or Maybelline. I'm a big fan of ELF, 9/10 would recommend. I'm so happy that it finally invaded the Danish drugstores because it's awesome makeup to even more awesome prices. Yay!

Tomorrow is cleaning day. My friend and her boyfriend comes over for chocolate mousse and cluedo on friday, so it has to look proper. And frankly my tiny home looks like someone threw a bomb in here. I need to fix that. My sisters say I got my mum's neatfreak-genes. I can't stand having people over when my home doesn't look decent. Friday evening an aquaintance of mine throws a party because she turned 18, so I'm going there and probably out for a few drinks afterwards. Saturday and sunday are reserved for relaxing/fixing my sleep schedule, and monday I'm going back to school.

Bonus: testing ELF

To show you what I meant when I said "kind of orange". What I really meant was "It's very orange and not very pretty". To be honest, I don't really like it very much, Captivating wasn't my shade. The eye is mine, and I tested the mascara. It gives a nice length, which is what I think is important. 

ELF Haul!

As I told you in this blogpost I've ordered a bunch of makeup from EyesLipsFace, and it FINALLY arrived! I got the box in the mail today, and when I opened it, it looked so christmassy and nice because they actually put some pink fluff inside the box to make it more festive! I ordered a Regular and Waterproof mascara duo, accidentally two Lipsticks in the shade "Captivating", Eye Transformer pallette, Complete coverage Concealer and lastly a 10pc Festive Brush Set.

Generally, I'm positively surprised. I paid £3.75 for the eyeshadows and concealers, and I think they were definitely worth the money! The concealer covers every red spot I have. Two of the eyeshadows are too coloured for my taste, but the other two are nude and I really like that. The Mascara gives great length to my lashes, which is what I was going for, because my eyelashes are voluminous already. I'm not too excited about the lipstick though. It's kind of orange, which looks really strange. Sadly. 

I really like the brushes though. I paid £12 for ten brushes, which is ridiculously cheap, but I actually think they're really nice. I haven't used them yet, but they feel great!
Like I said, I accidentally bought two lipsticks, so I'm planning on giving one of them to my friend along with her christmas present.
All in all, 9/10, would recomment! (Click here to see the aftermaths of testing makeup)

Last note: I'm sorry about being so absent, I've written a big assignment for school, and I'm finally almost finished. I just need to read it through, correct grammar and typos, and then I hand it in on friday! If I won't get a chance to blog before christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Writer's block and makeup!

Yesterday I had my unofficial last day of school. As I'm a high school senior, I have to write a massive assignment crossing over two subjects. I chose to cross over English and Social Studies and go with Sherlock Holmes, Fan culture and Tumblr, which is really cool, but now I'm stuck. I've finished the offspring, read all my texts and now it's just writing the analysis and interpretation, look at Tumblr with a sociologic angle and write my observations, finish off the assignment and then read it through. I just can't get to it. I need a break, and I need to do something fun. Not that reading Sherlock Holmes isn't fun, I just need to go somewhere.

On the bright side, my procrastination pushed me onto EyesLipsFace. I've always thought of buying something from them, just to see how good it really is, when it's so cheap. I'm running out of eyeshadow and concealer, so I've ordered some lipsticks, a concealer, an eye shadow pallette, a mascara and some brushes. You'll se what I've gotten when the mailman shows up with a big box of makeup!

Have you ever tried ELF's makeup? If so, what did you think?

By the way; I know I haven't posted this week's A Week on Instagram, but to be honest, nothing's really happened. Sorry!
