Here it goes!
Finally I've gotten enough courage to start making videos. I'm trying to keep up evenly my Youtube channel and this blog but obviously I'm linking the videos in the blog as well. We'll see how this shall go, let's hope for the best.
This time there will be LOTS of mistakes in my english 'cause after thinking about it for a while, I decided that I'm too lazy to check the text through or film again because of some grammar mistake. So work with me here, I'm doing my best and (hopefully) getting better all the time.
Anyhows, here's my first video!
P.S. Shoutout for the birthday girl, maybe?

First haul ! (and first post)
So this is my first post.. I'm actually kind of nervous because I have been wanting to do this blog for so long, that now that it actually exists, I feel like I have too many expectations to myself. Also there is the difficulty to me to be writing in english. I swear that in this blog there will be many many mistakes and sometimes I might have troubles to even find the words but I also swear that I'll do my best so please don't be too hard on me. Oh and a warning: this post might be a little long.
Anyhow, I'll probably be doing a post introducing myself later. This post is a small haul! A few days ago I went with my friend to Helsinki, which is the capital of Finland, to do a little shopping. I got some makeup, shoes and jewellry. Let's get started!
Starting with the makeup, here's a little overall of what I got.
First off the blushes! I got two cream blushes, another from Mac and another from a store called Accessorize. I wanted to do swatches to this post, but they kinda sucked so maybe next time.
The Mac one is called "Something Special" and the Accessorize one didn't have a name at all. They're both really pigmented and creamy, which I like. Only thing I don't like in the Mac one, is that it's a bit thick in a way. I like my cream blushes to be a bit more liquidy consistency if that makes sense, because then they are easier to apply. The accessorize blush is really tiny, and I think that it's ment to be a key fob, but I'm not going to hang a blush around with my keys. The accessorize blush also stains a bit. I did a swatch yesterday and still can see a bit on my hand so I'm not sure if that's a good thing.. :D
Now the eyeshadows!
On the left is H&M's eyeshadow palette. Now I know I know you're propably like dude you buy your makeup from a clothing store? But I actually quite like H&M's eyeshadows. Even though H&M is a clothing store, these are nice and pigmented and come on, look at the colors! I'm obsessed with the green and the reddish color in the corners. This palette is called "Divine".
On the right is Yves Rocher's pearl pigment. Now this stuff is amazing! It's super pigmented, the package is great, the pearl in it is sooo beautiful, plus it's 100% natural origin. The color isn't true in the picture. It's actually a really beautiful goldeny rose color. The color is 01 Nacres roses.
Next I got two Mac lipsticks.
The shades are beautiful. Hue is a really nice nude color and it's a glaze finish. Chatterbox is a bright, fun peachy pink and it's amplified finish. Both are great.
In the middle is a Yves Rocher velvety loose powder in 02 transparence beige. The packaging is once again really nice. I love the rosy pink container. Consistancy of this is so smooth! It's just the most velvety powder ever. It also has quite powerfull scent to it, but it's very pleasant so it doesn't disturbe at all.
On the right is Ecotools Powder brush. I love love love these Ecotools brushes. I have a couple of them by now and I really like them all. This powder brush is really soft and it has quite long bristles that don't buff on a lot of powder. It's good for apllying setting powder or even a blush. On the left is the buffing brush, which is just awesome for applying liquid foundation.
I also got Mac's fluidline in Blacktrack, but it's just a really basic black gel liner so I didn't take a photo of it. Moving on to the jewellry!
I got these earrings from Gina Tricot and they were 50% off so the one with many earrings was 6€ and the blue ones were 3€, not bad at all.
Next my favorite part: the shoes!
These basic green ballet flats cost me 5€. I like the color but I still might make them my own.. We'll see.
These I'm in love with. The deep red velvet looks amazing and really classy. These were from H&M and cost 20€.
Best for last. I love these shoes so much. And they cost only 9,95€ which is a ridiculous price for shoes like these. They were about 75% off. These have also a velvet texture. Isn't the detailing in the heel pretty? The ankle straps are also really cute. Best thing about these is that they are really sturdy and they're easy to wear. Only downside to these is that because I'm already tall, with these shoes on I'm 1,85 meters...
Okay so that was my haul post, hope you liked it and tell me what should I do differently in my posts in the future and what would you like me to do. Tutorials or hauls or product reviews or what? Let me know in the comments :)
