Oh, they're hopeless, a disgrace to the forces of evil.

Hey you all.

I had some amazing days, including my birthday on the 8th and 

i would be ungrateful if i was about to write the opposite. 

In fact it began during the late days of January but more on that in a future post. 

Today i will show you my experiments with make up 

and a wonderful book i own since this summer. 

I found this Johnson's baby cream - Smoothing Naturals
for dry skin and i thought to give it a try since my face has this new need for hydration
and this set by Oriflame, Milk and Honey Gold
( Shower Cream and Body Lotion ) was a gift from my grandma. 

I tried also to recreate one of my most favourite villain's make up, Maleficent [x]. 
Of course i don't claim to be an pro but it was fun! :D
More fun when i tried to wash all this madness away :P 

I bought this book around summer, 

i read it and forgot completely to show it to you guys. 

It is a gorgeous big book with so many information and pictures about 

the Victorian and Edwardian fashion. 

It was on my list for a while and i was super excited when i got it!!

A photographic Survey by Alison Gernsheim.
A  lovely collection of old photographs (235 illustrations)
every admirer, of fashion in those two eras, must have. 

And now, let's talk about two movies i saw some months back.
1. Mama (2013) and 2. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

I saw the name Guillermo del Toro as an executive producer in this movie [the director of one of my favourite movies "El laberinto del fauno"(2006)] and i watched it without any hesitation. Well, it was not what i expected. A wonderful atmosphere till the time they brought up the special effects of the.. mom. Seemed pretty fake to me (with all this hight technology they have, they end up turning a "horror" movie into a cartoon) and i did not like the story that much (it was obvious what was going on!). But i watched it mostly because of the cast. Also it had an interesting end. ★★✩✩

I love old films. I love the stories, the actors, the costumes. The protagonists will make sure they properly pass all the feelings to you through their actions. Love, sadness, every possible feeling will get away from the screen and directly into you. Whenever i feel down, seeing and old classic film will cheer me up, even if it a sad movie. Those films bring me joy and they never let me down.  

One of the many i adore is Arsenic and Old Lace (1944). Funny and macabre in it's own beautiful way, with hilarious dialogues and a clever story. Amazing old school protagonists in a black and white wonderful story. It's a long movie (118 min) but it will not bore you.. to death :P ★★★★

And with a little help, this might be the final result. Anyway, until the next post, take care people.
