So I bought a laptop before my failed move to Madrid. Now I have 3 computers at home (my parents home) lol. BUT, I will 99% sure move out of the house, so I will cherish this little thing for days to come, I'm sure of that. But black/grey is a little boring, don't you think? Well, I discovered we can make our gadgets even more fashionable! Laptops, iPods, phones, etc.
Some of you already know about this, I am talking about getting some cool skins for your gadgets! Dressing them with super cool art.

And I found two great sites that sell skins: SkiniZi and Gelaskins
Full of new artists, as well as old time classics!

After taking a look at their designs, what was my surprise when I found at least 2 Etsy artists on SkinIzi: gorjuss and Anne-Julie! I always loved their art and now I can have it in my laptop! Maybe there are more etsy artists, but these two are the ones I could recognize at first glance.

And now I am trying to choose between laptop skins, let me show you the ones I pre selected! =)

• The Enamored Whale
• Growth
• Gummi Anatomie
• London
• New York
• The Exchange
• Ragdolls
• Spirit Of Medicine Lake
• Summer Oasis
• Red Robot Leaving the City
• Denied
• Swirl
• Love is stronger than nature
• Jungle
• Blow fish
• Going to california
• Lift
• The Great Wave
• Kandinsky
• Swan
  

I know I know, I picked too many! But they are all so cool, I can't easily decide =) Plus I have to find if there is any big difference between the gelaskins ones and the skinizi's.
So, which one do you like better? Help me decide by posting your favourite (even if it is not in the list) in the comments ;)

And since my mp3 decided to die on me, I will probably get an ipod nano soon... mwuahaha!

Hello again people! Yes, I know it's been at least 1 week since my last post... lazy is my middle name.
But here I am again, bringing you the latest trends in makeup :) Since I run out of trends for clothing and accessories I remembered that well, I do put makeup on sometimes, so why not research a little on what's hot?


Let's take a look at trends in each category:

• Skin: matte and uncolored or glowy (great for summer looks if you are tanned)
  
• Blush: pink :)
• Lips: any shade of pink to almost white / bright red
• Eyes: gold with smokey eyes, silver (icy eyes), pink/violet, deep colors like green, coral, blue, yellow.

Overall I'd say pink is the color for makeup this summer: blush, eyes, lips.

I did a small hunt in Etsy to bring you the handmade products we can use to achieve this looks, and here is what I found:

If you are the kind of girl that doesn't use heavy makeup I think you won't really care about makeup trends, but on what makes you look best. I'm one of those girls. When I go to work I only use a bit of concealer (aarrgghh dark circles!), and sometimes a bit of mascara. If I go party at night then I wear some eyeshadow, mascara, sometimes eyeliner, blush, ya know, the whole kit. For me what is most important is what kind of eyeshadow to wear to make my eyes nicer.
Eyeshadow color depends on your eye color, and blending in etc depends on the shape of your eye/face.

I found some kits for different eye colors in Etsy, I really like their colors:

• Brown eyes
• Green eyes
• Blue eyes
• Hazel eyes
  

I'm a mix between brown and green eyes, so depending on the day I choose one or the other style :)

A couple articles on eye make up for different eye shapes:

LEONA LEWIS - Bleeding love inspired make up look
DUFFY -Mercy make up inspired look

I have to say for me it's a little difficult to understand her because of the accent lol but I'm sure for native English speakers will be easier ;)

Hope you enjoyed this makeup review and that it helped you a little, maybe?
Tell me if you liked it, what is your favourite makeup/look, what you think looks better depending on the eye color, and, very important if you know, how to make the dark circles under the eyes go away???? (or at least be less visible... mine are sort of a genetic thing so no way to get rid of them I suppose)

Next time: I don't know yet! Need new and fresh ideas ;)
