Hi and welcome! This is Black Saliva, a style focused blog written by Viivi Vanessa R.
I'm a 24 year old girl from Helsinki, Finland and this blog is my own little space on the internet where I can share my thoughts, outfits and write a bit about my life and stuff that I do.
For first timers, I'd say take a quick look at ABOUT ME and get to know me a little before browsing through my posts.
Anyway, I hope you like my blog and leave me a comment.
Lately I've been enjoying the warm weather by spending lots of time outside at the Sinebrychoff park, hanging out with friends, grilling food, chit-chatting etc. Or well, that's exactly what we did last sunday~
Nomnomnom foooood.
Doing something weird here..
In a tram with Tuomas.
On monday we decided to have a late lunch together with Jopo, so we headed to Svenska Teatern to have salads. They have the best salads in Helsinki I think !
Later that day we headed to the park again, to hang out with Olli and Laura. The weather was awesome again and if I remember right, there was some people even tanning so..
I spent the whole Tuesday by cleaning up my apartment (and I was ready at 3:30AM lol..) so I don't have any pics from Tuesday ! It could be easier if I would clean up everything after making a mess but I'm too lazy to do that.. And the feeling you get after spending the whole day cleaning and when you're finally ready, just awesome hahah :''D
The reason why I needed to clean up everything, was because Sini came to Helsinki on Wednesday and she was staying at my place so.. yep.
I met her at the city after my school, visited many shops without bying anything really, and then we went to grab some icecream (or Sini did) but then a weird thing happened and the seller guy asked if I wanted some icecream too and neither of us had to pay for them... NICE !
On Thursday we spent some time at the city again and met few friends !

Sain jokunen aika sitten sähköpostia Sigma Beauty -nimiseltä, käsintehtyihin korkealaatuisiin meikkisiveltimiin ja muihin välineisiin erikoistuneelta brändiltä, jossa kysyttiin haluaisinko testata erästä heidän meikkisivellin settiään. Ai että halusinko?!
Some time ago, I got mail from a company/brand calledSigma Beauty, which is specialized in handmade high quality makeup brushes and other products, and they asked if I wanted to try this one makeup brush -set of theirs. Damn yes I wanted to.
Pian mailiin vastaamisen jälkeen, sivellinsetti saapuikin postitse tällaisen kortin saattelemana~
Soon after I answered the mail, I got the brush kit with this card included~
Kyseessä oli siis Make Me Up -niminen sivellinsarja, jota on siis valittavana mustana, violettina, pinkkinä ja turkoosina. No tottakai valitsin sen pinkin itselleni :''D
The name of this kit is Make Me Up, and it comes in four different colours: black, purple, coral and aqua. Ofcourse I picked the coral pink one for myself :''D
Settiin kuuluu 12 erilaista sivellintä, ja niiden mukana tuli tollanen kotelo, jonka saa kätevästi kahdeksi "kipoksi", joissa sitten voi säilyttää siveltimet kotona ollessa. Matkalle lähtiessä sit vaan napauttaa ne takaisin kiinni, kätsyä !
The kit includes 12 different brushes and a case which you can use when traveling or when you're at home, you're able to use it as 2 make up stands. Very handy !
Ja jotta selviäis paremmin että mikä on mikäkin, niin alla vähän listaa. Järjestyksessä ylhäältä alaspäin. Merkkasin omat lempparit sydämin :--)
A list of these brushes so you'll know which one is which. From the top to bottom at the pic above. Marked my own favourite ones with hearts :--)
Large Powder Brush Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. ♥Duo Fibre Specially designed to generate an 'airbrushed' finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apple blush, highlight shades and loose pigments.

It is also recommended for a precise application in smaller areas. ♥Pencil Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner.

Oon tosi ilonen tästä paketista, koska aikasemmin omistin vaan yhden siveltimen jolla huiskin vähän poskipunaa :''D Meikkaamisesta tuli heti joku 100x kivempaa näiden jälkeen huhuhu *_*
I'm really happy about this gift, because I only had like.. one brush for blush before this, so now doing my makeup in the morning is 100x more fun huhuhu *_*

Moi ! Viime lauantai meni Vapun juhlimisen merkeissä, saatiin kutsut Niklakselta vappujulhiin edeltävänä päivänä, joten suunnattiin lauantaina aamupäivästä Sipooseen juhlimaan.
Päivä alkoi hirveellä kiireellä, kun itse kukin nukkui enemmän tai vähemmän pommiin, törmättiin Alexin ja Tuomaksen kanssa Kampissa, jonka läpi lähinnä juostiin bussiin ja kerettiin hilkulla. Miks aina tulee hirvee kiire kun olis lähtö johonkin, siis ei vaan koskaan osaa ajottaa sillein et vois ottaa lunkisti, tai vaik osaiski ni sit joku kuitenkin feilaa ja aika loppuu kesken... XD Toivottavasti en oo ainoa ongelmani kanssa :---)
Hey ! I spent last saturday by celebrating the 1st of May aka "VAPPU" as we call it in finnish. On friday we got invitated to a fancy vappuparty Niklas and his parents were hosting at their place in Sipoo, so that's where we headed to party with Alex and Tuomas when the day came.
The day started with a horrible rush, since each one of us kinda overslept, so we met at Kamppi after 12 I think and ran trough it to catch the bus and luckily made it in time. I hate it when you're always in a hurry when you need to be in time somewhere, even if you plan everything, it's still hard XD I hope I'm not the only one with this problem :---)
Few videoclips i put together we filmed on saturday. If you don't understand the final part, you haven't seen this. Hahaha, it's some sort of tradition now... lol.
Finally arrived to the party place !
Ehdottomasti paras puoli koko juhlissa... :D Paikalle oli hankittu Thaimaalainen kokki, joka valmisti 7 erilaista ruokalajia, joista jokainen oli ihan taivaallista *_* Tulee kauhee nälkä kun katon tätä kuvaa nyt... Pääruokien jälkeen oli tarjolla vielä kakkua, munkkejä, erilaisia juustoja, simaa ja vaikka mitä ! OMNOMPARTY AT THE BEST.
Taustalla Niklas ja Niklaksen äiti :3
Definitely the best part of the party... :D There was a cook, who prepared 7 different thai dishes for us, and each one of them was super delicious *_* I'm getting really hungry now when watching this picture... After the maindishes there was also cake, donuts, different cheeses, SIMA and all that stuff ! OMNOMPARTY AT THE BEST.
Niklas and his mom at the background :3
Alex, me and Veuve Qlicuot !
w/ Alex & Niklas !
Ja sitten oli aika tehdä booli ! Tuli ihan super hyvää, pakko tehdä uudestaankin vielä. Alex postas reseptin tästä blogiinsa jos jotakuta kiinnostaa~ TÄÄL !
And then it was time to make some punch ! It ended up to be super good, so I guess we'll be making it some other time too ! Alex posted a recipe for it to his blog if you're interested~ HERE !
A pic of us all !
KIPPIS ! SKÅL ! CHEERS ! KANPAI ! or whatever you say in your country !
Sipoosta tultuamme nähtiin Sami ja Kati ja jatkettiin juhlimista Katin kämpillä, ennenkuin suunnattiin kohti DTMää, missä biletettiin aikamme ja lopulta suunnattiin pizzerian kautta Alexin luo nukkumaan.
Oli kaiken kaikkiaan tosi onnistunut ilta ja vappu pitkästä aikaa ! ME LIKES.
After we came back from Sipoo, we met up with Sami and Kati, and continued the party at Kati's place, before heading to DTM, where we partied for a while before heading to a pizzeria after a long day and then off to Alex's place to sleep.
Overally I had really fun night and vappu after a long time ! ME LIKEYYYY.
