Rainy Tuesday

Hello lovelies!
I've been so busy pretending to be busy that I've completely neglected this blog!
I finished makeup school and I can't wait to start working but until I can start full time(because who is going to hire a person with hardly any experience for a few impractical hours a day?) I'm stuck being a stay at home mom/housewife. It's great, don't get me wrong! Spending time with the little one and having free time is fantastic but the isolation and monotony are sort of tiresome.
To occupy myself I've been baking insane amounts of cupcakes and bread, mastering my ancient coffee maker and trying to make the apartment look habitable. So, no real makeup related work but hopefully that'll change.
 I'm doing makeup for a photo shoot on Thursday with a photographer I've admired for a while now so I'm super excited and will post pictures as soon as I can, but for now I leave you with a few makeup of the day looks.
I'm a bit obsessed with Lancome's Ombre Hypnose Mono eyeshadow in beige, I use it with Maybelline ExpertWear in Made for mocha in the crease and then maybe a pop of colour on my lower lash line. It's been my go-to look for the past few weeks because it's easy and fun and I can do it with or without eyeliner depending on my mood or what I'm doing that day.

eyeliner from e.l.f. and lipstick is Bourjois Orange Apprete

e.l.f. eyeliner again, bronzer from the Body Shop cat is cat.

TGIF

Instagram post! I've had a strange and emotional two weeks but here's some things that helped me through them, momentarily cheered me up or, I don't know... I liked the look of. 

Hot tea and the gorgeous view from our apartment A super hot bubble bath at the end of a rough day, I just love the shape of our tub! I love this mug more than could be considered healthy! Meet Henrietta, my tiny tortie! She loves cuddles, tuna and staring at people in the bath. Dislikes: strangers, hairballs and noise. And finally a strangely thin-lipped, jowl-y selfie because reasons.

friday night

This is my idea of a Friday night; starting a new blog while sleep deprived and slightly tipsy, pretending I'm all cool and fashionable and Reykjavík-ian when really? I'm wearing a pony tail on the top of my head and the biggest sweatpants I could find in the world pulled as high as they'll go. I'm 25 with the body of a 50 year old, partly from having gone through childbirth but also because I'm lazy as hell. That's actually part of the reason I'm starting this blog, as a sort of kick-in-the-butt to become more active, to go out and take pretty pictures to post, to do my hair and dress nicely, all that stuff. 

So. 

I'm Siggah, mother and awful housewife - studying to become a makeup artist. 

This is the face I make while being a pale weirdo: 

Is this a sufficiently awkward first post? Good. More tomorrow when I have brains.
