Uh-oh!

I smell an addiction kicking in... A good one for me, but probably not my wallet... But I think I might just give in once ever few weeks, to LUSH!

I bought my first ever Lush product back in September, on the advice of a friend. I'd always thought the place smelled too much and never went in. But that particular friend has been a Lush fanatic for quite awhile, so when we were discussing skin problems, she told me I should get "Angels on Bare Skin" as a facial cleanser. I really hated the scent at first, as I really cannot stand lavender, BUT it did work wonders on my skin, so I got over it.

I ran out sometime in late November, and couldn't find the time to drop by Lush again, because they are all out of my way, and December was pretty hectic at work. Anyway, during that month and a half, I started breaking out, and my skin was behaving really bad... I had a feeling I needed mu Lush!2 weeks ago I found myself in a mall where one had opened recently, so I went and bought "Angels on Bare Skin" again, as well as a moisturizer "Imperialis" on the advice of the seller when I mentioned having trouble with my t-zone.

And today, I went back because I want to try out this solid shampoo "NEW!" that's supposedly very good for thin hair that's always falling. Hopefully it will help my hair get healthier. And as they were having a 50% off on the Christmas products, I grabbed a bath bomb "Crepitante"  and a bar soap "Pain de Neige" (couldn't find them on the english website...) which I can't wait to try... Will write about the products when I've had a chance to use them!

Beautiful places

In September of 2009 I left my hometown of Montreal, Canada, to spend a year abroad in Stockholm, Sweden. I though it'd be fun to post pictures of my year in Europe once in a while!!

This is a lake that was 5 minutes from my house, in Bromma (right outside Stockholm). It was a beautiful place, and I spent many hours reading and daydreaming on the beach there ^_^

Hair-spiration

Next month I'm getting my hair cut and dyed, and my ideal shade would be like this girl's:

So pretty *-*

I've been wanting purple hair for a long time, but I've been dying it black for the last 8 years, as the black never comes out... I've had to grow it out, but it wasn't so bad, I put some plum-ish colour in it, so that it's not black anymore, but still pretty dark. Plus it's almost purple :P

So it's taken almost a year, and the black is now only from below my ears down, and next month I'm taking the leap! I might still have black tips, but it'll probably look really cool with the purple ^^

Oh and here's one the haircuts that are one my mind...





Cate Blanchett, not Harrison Ford, mind you :P

First Post Yo!

Well well well...

So I've just opened this blog in order to share some of my fashion, beauty, and whatever randomness stuff  I like... There are going to be cosmetics reviews, some looks that I wear, clothes that I buy, heck even video games posts sometimes!

So I guess I'll start by introducing myself: Pastlink, 24 years old, pastry baker, from Montreal. I love tons of geeky/nerdy stuff, such as old books and SNES games. I'm far from a pro makeup wise, but I love to play with it, and I daresay I have a good sense of style. I like it, anyway :P

So welcome aboard, and next post will be more substantial!
