Goonies never say die

I wasn't feeling all that swell today (better than in the beginning of the week but not perfect yet, obviously) and I'm really not looking forward to going back to school again. With all the forced social interaction and wasting time in my English class, bleh. But I'm gonna go and that's good. Routine and getting my mind off things is good, or so they say. But I got a little boost of happiness when I read a facebook message from my sister, saying that "The Goonies" were on TV. GOSH I love that movie. I used to have this huge crush on Brand and Mikey (and I still do on the latter, Samwise Gamgee <3 but that's for another fangirl post). I just love the whole adventurous feel of the movie, when I watch it I really feel like it zaps me back in time so I can feel like a goony too. The idea of finding a treasure map with pirates and "rich stuff" involved, isn't it awesome? Of course, Mouth (Corey Feldman, one of my sisters big loves) and his wise ass comments, Data with his bootytraps and Chunk making friends with Sloth, it's all just pure magic. The Goonies is one of those movies that, even after all these years, still has this special place in my heart and it doesn't feel outdated in the slightest. Best movie quote ever:

HEEEEY YOOUUUUU GUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!!!!

Don't we all love Sloth with his Superman shirt? And lemme tell you, mama Fratelli used to scare the shit outta me. :-D I really need to get that movie on DVD. Like "Labyrinth", "The Neverending Story", "The Muppet Movie", "The Dark Crystal" and so many others, once I take a look at the movie or hear a part of the soundtrack I get instant goosebumps and I feel  like a kid again, if only for a second. 

On the outfit: I wore this to the book fair I mentioned in an earlier post and the scribbles on my arm were put there by an aspiring tattoo artist who was at the book fair to put a free literary quote on you. As you can see, I chose "we are all starstuff" by Carl Sagan. As I've already mentioned a couple of times, it's one of my favorite quotes in existence. And chances are I would actually get it as a real tattoo. Like a peace sign but fancier! :-D


Make love, not war, we're all made of stars!

I paired my hot red lips with soft brownish/pinkish tones on my eyes, I really loved it together!

Spring nails! Do you love The Goonies just as much as me? You better! :-D

70's outfit + golden eyes

Yes, I did actually enjoy 007 golden eye (the videogame on the N64, not the movie. I can't seem to get myself to ever finish a 007 movie unless I actually go see them in the theatre) but these particular golden eyes are the eyes of yours truly! I love golden eyeshadows. They look amazing with my eyes and skintone (though I think that it looks great with basically every skintone and eyecolor, on darker skinned people with brown eyes <3 as well as blondes with baby blues), maybe change the kind of gold to your liking. I love all kinds of golds. I love the more bronze-brown gold, the vintage dark gold, the bright yellow-gold, I think it's the shimmer I like the most. I remember I got my first golden eyeshadow (baked) on my thirteenth birthday and I was too scared to wear it with it being such a strong color. Now, 5 years later, I do actually use it. And yes, I now confessed that I don't hold myself to the dates that come on the back of the make up boxes. I have make up that I stole from my sister when I was eleven or something that I still use (no worries sis, it's a black kohl pencil, nothing special :-D) and it's always been okay. I do try to apply my make up with clean brushes and sponges (I try to clean them once every 2-3 weeks). The only product I actually do throw away once the date on the back has passed is mascara. But my mascara usually doesn't last that long since the expiration date is around twelve months and I finish my mascara's in less than a year. Do you guys actually "listen" to the expiration dates on your make up? When I have a little more time on my hands I'm gonna do a make up post with all the eyeshadows and lipsticks I own, I always love to see pictures of other peoples make up so I'm guessing you do too! :-D

I kind of wish I had some awesome seventies clunky wedges to wear with this dress. Some heels I could still walk in that just give the illusion of being elegant. :-D
I really like my ass in that dress. Just sayin'. Now for the make up!
I have the perfect rusty-red lipstick to wear with golden eyeshadows! I love the golden shimmer it has.
My nails here were still a little blueish from washing out the dye in my hair.
A little announcement: I'm gonna be moving! Our house is falling apart and luckily we found a cute little place not too far from here. While the house we now live in has this gorgeous garden I will definitely miss, I will not miss the leaky roof, the cracks in the walls that let in all kinds of cold during the winter, the walls that seem to be coming down and the electricity that sometimes just likes to give up on us. Yes, this house is a freaking mess and I think I won't fully realise how strange it's gonna be to live in a normal house where you don't have to worry whether the livingroom will stay dry during the rain or not. I have set my heart on painting the walls of my bedroom along the lines of this (but more colors, just this pixel-y technique):
Which is gonna be awesome. Or I get a Zelda wall!
That'd be freaking awesome. :-D Have a lovely day!
