Thank you for awarding me, girl! I noticed at the end of my post that I was supposed to answer your questions, so I kinda fucked that up, sorry. It's too late now.

- answer the 11 questions asked by the person who awarded you.

- let the person who awarded you know when you accept the award

1. How did you choose your blog's name? 

I just named it after my nickname. There are a shit ton of blogs with expressions like makeup, beauty, makeup diary, beauty junkie, beauty porn, brush, mua and so on, and I didn't want to be one of those, so I just went with evinde.blogspot.com. I haven't changed my url since I started the blog in 2010.

2. Have any pets? List them below!

I have 2 cats (Johnny named after Johnny Depp & Lily named after Lily Lazer), 2 hedgehogs (Petunka & Pepike)  and a handful of chickens. I don't consider my mother's dog my pet, he is a total asshole, but I named him Pippin years ago (because of LotR).

3. What's your favourite book?

Fever Dream by G. R. R. Martin, it is my favourite vampire book, and it's very sentimental to me. I've known his books before he was cool. I also adore Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, great vampire characters there.

4. Coffee or tea?

Why not both? I prefer latte, because Hungarian espresso coffee is very strong in itself and tastes disgusting if I don't add milk. My latest favourite is instant iced coffee, it is THE SHIT, it's the best thing I've ever bought, and it was discontinued like 2 weeks ago, of course. (Fuck you, Lidl) I also like green tea.

5. What's your favourite season?

Autumn and Winter, but I also like Spring. I absolutely hate Summer; Hungarian Summer, it is.  It's gross and the heat is unbearable.

6. Who's your favourite blogger and/or youtuber?

I don't really read blogs anymore, and right now I don't have a favourite youtuber. I used to follow about 300 youtuers, 90% of them are very well-known and hella popular. About half of them don't make videos regularly anymore (e.g. Amarixe, theKatieAB, EasyAccessBeauty), and the other half of them became so annyoying that I cannot even watch a minute of their videos. I won't mention names here, because they are still very popular, and I bet half of you would get offended that I find your fave ~ guru ~ annoying. That's it about makeup youtubers. 

I started to watch gamers, and I like 2 of them. One of them is theRadBrad (been watchin his vids for 2 years), and I won't name the other one, because again, you'd get offended that I like him.

7. You have 5 minutes to do your makeup. What products do you use?

Concealer and/or BB cream (Asian only), and mascara. That's it, bye. I could totally do a full face of makeup in 5 minutes though.

8. What are your favourite TV shows?

I only watch horror or scary shows, also anything that is not about girls being bitches with each other for stealing each other's boyfriends. I don't need any of that shit. 

I love The Walking Dead, Hannibal, True Blood, The X-Files, American Horror Story and I adore Men In Trees, though it's not a horror show. The setting and the scenery is just beautiful in that show. I've already mentioned most of these shows on the blog in favourites posts. I used to love Xena and Friends as a kid.

Also, anything that is not overfetishized on tumblr (so I don't watch Doctor Who and Supernatural, even though I liked Sup.nat. years ago because of its scary shit. These two have been everywhere on tumblr, in every second of the day, every day, all day, every fucking year.)

9. Where would be your dream place to live?

A country that has beautiful forests and cool weather: Sweden, Norway, Finland, North America or Scotland would be great.

10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I have no idea, son. Maybe petting bear cubs in Canada. One can dream.

11. Favourite handbag or clothing brand?

I'm not really a brand snob in general, and I don't collect bags. I own like 3 of them, and I buy bags that are practical and nice in colour. I have a black one for winter, a mint one for Spring + Summer, and a beige one for spec. occasions. I also have one that was custom-made and has 2 of my favourite characters on it, I used to bring that one everywhere.

As far as clothes go, I mostly shop at New Yorker. They have great clothes most of the time.

11 random facts about me:

1.) I love bears, bats and horses.

2.) I consider myself goth / metalhead, though most of you wouldn't think because I don't dress in all black anymore.

3.) I was born with white blonde hair, and it started to get brown when I was 14. I've been dyeing my hair blond again since I was 16, because brown just looked like crap.

4.) I was born blonde, so my eyelashes and eyebrows are blonde too = non-existent.

5.) I have uneven eyebrows: one of them has an arch and the other one is straight. This whole overhyped brow thing in the beauty community annoys the living shit out of me, because obviously you can't do much with uneven brows.

6.) My mother tongue is Hungarian, and I speak German, English and basic Japanese.

7.) I love horror movies, but I hate old horror movies. I love horror remakes and handheld camera movies.

8.) I love abandoned places, I like to photograph abandoned places and just be around them. They fascinate me. I'll do a couple of posts about them in the future.

9.) I'm writing my BA thesis about vampires.

10.) I've only been on a real vacation once, 6 years ago. We can't really afford going on vacations, mostly because of the constant shitty Hungarian politics.

11.) Nothing annoys me more than people being ignorant or just plain dumb. 

My questions are:

1.) Do you like to wear perfume? If yes, which ones are your favourites?
2.) Do you think there is life on other planets?
3.) What do you do when you wake up?
4.) Do you believe in ghosts or other supernatural entities?
5.) How many pillows do you sleep with?
6.) Ever been to a bonfire party?
7.) Do you sleep with your door open or closed?
8.) Night or day?
9.) How tall are you?
10.) Favourite cuisine?
11.) Which celebrities would you have a threesome with?

Blogs I pass this onto:

I have no idea who has received it already, and as I said I don't read many blogs anymore. I'd reward Nani, even though she might have received it already in the past. Oh, and also Taya! If you've done it already, then I'm sorry. :)
