#igglesummer day 7 - music
Camera: Canon EOS 700D, 18-55mm Canon lens
Yesterday at Comic Con Gent, Bert got me this amazing vintage record of the story/soundtrack of The Island at the Top of the World, an old Disney movie.
It was actually new in the original plastic wrapping and everything! (€25, in case anyone wonders) This is the music of the movie where the Hyperion zepellin in Café Hyperion/Videopolis in Disneyland Paris is from, by the way.
LOVE THIS!
Day 60/100 days of make-up in 2017
I'm doing a series, which I've never done before.
It's one that lasts all week and it's basically my 7 fave lipsticks.
First: NYX, wicked lippies in Wrath.
I love Wrath, I love the colour, there's actually nothing wrong with the formula, but the packaging SUCKS.
It sucks like you would NOT believe.
There's _5_ cracks in the plastic at this point.
I think I seriously need to consider going down to M.A.C and swatch their metallics next to a Wrath swatch to see if it dupes out.
There's always some sort of issue with NYX, I'm beyond fed up at this point.
But that aside, Wrath is still my fave :).

Day 193: Wednesday, July 12 2017
Camera: Canon EOS 700D, 18-55mm Canon lens
When we first got Loa cat, he was a little afraid of the dark, so I got my old nightlight from when I was a little kid (thankfully my dad hadn't chucked it out) and we used that.
We kept on using it even after he stopped being scared, because that little extra light helped to see him when we got home after dark, and also not to trip over him in the dark on the way to the toilet at night.
Sadly, last weekend that nightlight broke, so I went to Gamma and bought a new one.
Which is a lot more sophisticated than my old one, let me tell you that!
For €7,55 I got a special LED nightlight with three different colour settings (green, blue and white) that will recognise when it's dark and switch itself on (so it doesn't use electricity when it's light enough, which is super practical) AND it is ring shaped around a socket, so you can just plug something else into it. So whilst it uses a socket, it also provides one so you don't actually loose a socket to it. Very practical.
It also gives off TONS of light. Like, I don't know why you would put it in a child's room because it gives way too much light for a kid to be able to sleep I think, but for what we use it for, its perfect!
Also, funnily enough this was 50 cents more expensive than the other light they had of this brand, which was a traditional light with plain white light (it may also have had the auto light when dark setting though).
So yeah, obviously I spent the extra 50 cents, not for the extra colours, but for the fact that I don't loose a socket.

Day 194: Thursday, July 13
Camera: Canon EOS 700D, 18-55mm Canon lens
Bert had bought me a matcha dorayaki on Sunday, which I wanted to share with Shinto (matcha dorayaki are some of her fave things) from the get go. Of course, I kinda forgot I had one, until today.
As you can see, Shinto is all "GIMME MORE" in the background :).
She very rarely eats pastries and unhealthy things in general. I would say she eats some (as in: a few bites, not large amounts) about once every 4 months, so it's not like we are being horribly irresponsible pet owners by ocassionally letting her have a snack like that.
Day 63/100 days of make-up in 2017
Day 4 in my week of favourite lipsticks: M.A.C, lipstick in Film Noir.
Film Noir and Antique Velvet are very similar. I would say Antique Velvet is a more cool toned matte with less red undertones, whilst Film Noir is a warm toned satin finish lipstick with a LOT of red undertones. So whilst they are similar, they're also different at the same time. Even though the difference isn't always that obvious, I still LOVE them both. I really have a thing for brown lipsticks!
Anyway...

Totally random snapshot taken at Colruyt because I figured that seeing I hadn't photographed anything that day, I might as well shoot an igglesummer prompt :).

Day 197: Sunday, July 16

Loa cat, idiot that he is, managed to pry open the door and let himself outside yesterday evening. And then promptly got into a fight with another cat.
Result: the cat variant of a nasty black eye.
Luckily it's not worse!
I'm pretty sure he got into a fight with the neighbours' cat Sok, because Sok left a mouse by the back door. Leaving mice at my door or at our dryer pole outside is his trademark way of saying he's sorry.
And yes, obviously I have checked Loa for injuries and disinfected that wound with a disinfectant suitable for cats.
Day 66/100 days of make-up in 2017
Day 7 in my week of favourite lipsticks: Too Faced, La Crème, Unicorn Tears. Usually I wear Unicorn Tears over another matte lipstick to transform that into an iridescent colour, because I feel it doesn't really suit me on it's own.
But sometimes I still ignore that and wear it on it's own :D.
Also: #igglesummer day 27 - sunglasses (sunglasses are from asos, they're Bert's, so no I can't see properly at all through them. Not... at... all).
