So. On Saturday, I slept in, got up, and skipped my usual shower since I was going to have a sauna in the evening.
Having both on the same day is nothing but a waste of water.
Anyways.
Husband comes home from his morning walk, and tells me his gran has made cake since it's her 82nd B-day. Also, his mom's made dinner.
I didn't really feel like going anywhere, so, as a little pick-me-up, I immortalized the process of getting ready.
Started with a "fresh from bed"- face.

| Lauantaina mies ilmoitti, että pitäis mennä anoppilaan ja mummulaan. Olin varautunut viettämään koko päivän sohvan välittömässä läheisyydessä, ja menemään illalla saunaan, joten ei ollut kaunis olo. |
Quite fetching...
UncleYves gave me a super-cool product which is perfect for mornings like this one. It's a mild cleanser with green tea in it. It removes resedue of make-up, balances the skin, and makes it feel fresh and clean.
Doesn't do magic, but at least I felt a little less oily :D

I still don't like wearing much make-up. Usually, I get by with shadow, mascara, and lipstick.
Saturday was no exception.
I picked white shadow. I like the way it makes eyes look brighter.

| En vieläkään kauheasti meikkiä käytä. Lauantaina valitsin yllättäen valkoisen luomivärin. |
This mascara was also a freebie. UncleYves is totally spoiling me <3
I'm not that nuts about this product, though. I hate the name, the brush has a really odd shape, and the mascara itself makes my lashes feel icky and sticky and heavy.

| Ripsivärinkin antoi SetäYves lahjaksi. Tästä en niin digsi: nimi on kamala, harja hankala, ja koostumus jättää ripset ikävän tahmeiksi. |
I apply mascara first, 'cause I always make a mess. It's easier to clean lids after, and then apply shadow, than to first do shadow, put on mascara, and then do the shadow all over again.

| Sääntöjen vastaisesti laitan ripsiväriä ensin. Sottaan aina, ja on helpompi putsata paljaat luomet. |
A touch of white on upper lid, a dab in the middle of lower lid.
Does wonders.

| Valkoista yläluomelle, ja aavistus keskelle alaluomea. Näyttää melkein pirteältä. |
Lips next. I've developed a trick which ensures stain-free, long-lasting colour. Make-up artists probably say "NOOOO!!!!", but I don't really care :D
What you need, is a lip liner. I chose pinkish-red.

| Kestävän huulipunan aikaansaamiseksi on rikottava sääntöjä. Taas. Valitsin pinkkiin taittavan punan. Kuvittelin sen käyvän kolttuun. Pieleen meni. Ei haittaa. |
Line your lips. Be wide about it.

| Ekkana rajataan, leviästi. |
Spread the colour evenly, and you're good to go.
Eating will naturally result in a right mess, but that's unaboidable if you're unwilling to buy turbo-charged cosmetics.

| Levitetään väri tasaiseksi. Muuta ei tartte. Näin puna ei sottaa eikä karkaile, kestää pitkään, ja on näyttävä. |
At this point, husband started sighing. I think he was hungry.
But i still had a raccoon's nest to deal with.
Hair is always an issue when going out, especially if I haven't had the chance to have a shower. It's naturally wavy, and when I sleep, it both flattens and rises.

| Tukan kanssa on aina vaikeaa. Son luonnostaan laineikas, ja kun sitä ei aamulla taltuta suihkulla, se osoittelee kaikkiin ilmansuuntiin, ja on yhdestä kohdasta littana, ja toisesta pörheä. |
I was getting hungry, too, so I solved the problem with a hat. It was cold outside.

| Oli jo nälkä, joten ratkaisin ongelman laittamalla pipon. Ulkona oli kylmä. Pitihän se anoppilassa ottaa pois, mutta hei, kaikilla on talvella pipotukka :D |
I wore a basic turtle-neck paired with a long skirt, and a short dress. Comfy outfit, but nothing fancy.
Turns out the outfit was surprisingly fitting... a kid left a chocolatey hand-print on my skirt. Had I worn something "better", I might have been upset about it :D
So. Dinner was nice, cake was good, and I got to have my sauna :D
