Saints, Sinners and Me-FOTD



No full face picture lads/lasses. I looked really gross in all the ones I took today. I have finals week coming up shortly so I may not have a lot of time to devote to blogging. I'll still try to post daily pictures but the posts will be really short like this one. I'm going to try and put up some reviews soon. I may do that in place of the fotds just so I can get shit done faster. I'm sorry! Atleast Christmas is soon right?

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in Saint and Sinner (A brown with golden yellow sparkles in it used on the lid.)
Wet N Wild Dark Elf Palette
-Dark Chocolate Brown with Green Duochrome (Used on the crease.)
-Soft Ivory (Used to highlight.)
NYC Liquid eyeliner in black
Miliani Eyeliner in Black
Mascara

Unicorn Princess...not that one/Slytherin Redux...-Julia Fotds








Oh hey a post all about Julia! My make-up was boring today but I did hers so I thought I might post it. I also did a Slytherin make-up on her the night Deathly Hallows came out. Sadly we didn't go. We just hung around sighing sadly about the fact that we didn't get to go.

Unicorn Princess-
Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Wet N Wild
-Darker Purple (Used on the lid.)
-Soft Medium Purple (Used in the crease.)
-Medium Skin Tone (Used on the middle of the brow bone.)
-Bright sparkly white (Used on the brow bone and in the corner of the eye.)
-Sparkly Dark Brown (Used as an eyeliner.)
Wet N Wild Sparkly Black eyeliner
Mascara

lips-

Slytherin
Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in Pirate (Gorgeous deep green used on the lid.)
High Voltage e/s in Tree Hugger (Bright green used in the crease.)

lips-
Random Black Lipgloss that looks brown on her

Actually I think I did this look to her the day I did the Hufflepuff one. My R.A. saw us walking around with black lip gloss on and he told me it looked natural on me. Like he expected me to wear black lip gloss haha. Julia became offended when he said it looked like chocolate on her. I personally think every girl should wear black lipstick or gloss once.

Ophelia the Asylum Girl-Inspired by Emilie Autumn






Ophelia

Taunting ribbons of word crash.

Haunting blood colored water soaks.

The water is only waist deep.

You can't drowned in something so shallow.

Lay down in the cool water.

Grasp at the last strings of sanity.

The reeds call your name

Sweet one, shy one,good one now lost.

Lotus covers your mouth.

The feeling of the living is lost between your lungs.

Not the daisy chain around your head can keep you a float.

Not the will of your brother, your father or your mother.

Lay you down in the water now.

Let the tears, blood, pain be washed away.


Er... that's a poorly written poem I wrote. Ophelia is actually one of my favorite literary characters. She's very much the tragic young girl I wanted to be when I was going through my over-dramatic phase. (You know the one... where the boys are just to immature. Your parents are too cruel. And to top it off boyfriend has gone crazy with the loss of his father... wait...) I've never actually been that into miss Emilie Autumn. I'd heard of her before but never listened to her music in length. I'd heard a few amazing covers but that's about it. Of course I listened to her music while doing this. I'm kind of enthralled now. I really like her song Gothic Lolita and Misery Loves Company. :D

There are a few this wrong with this. The hearts are a bit small/wonky and the lips are the wrong shade/shape. Plus I'm missing glitter! GLITTER ALL OVAH DAH FACE. I'm probably going to re-do this after I finish the Enchanted era inspired look of hers.

What I used:

Face-
You should powder your face to look white to do this but my face powder is at home.
Use a bright pink or red blush in the hallows of the cheeks. You're suppose to look slightly insane.

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Sally's Quad Black e/s (Used on the outer part of the crease.)
Morgana Cryptoria e/s in Twinkling Cherries (Yellow based red used to lightly line the crease.)
Evil Shades e/s in Heartless Queen (Bright blue based red used on the lid, over the black.)
Sally's Quad black e/s (Used over the red/black in the corner of the crease.)
High Voltage e/s in Alter Ego (Pinky/purple lightly over the black in the crease.)
Random Glittery white e/s (Used to blend up the red towards the brow bone.)
Sally's Quad Soft Pink e/s (Used on the outer brow bone.)
Sally's Quad white e/s (Used on the upper part of the brow bone and corner of the eye.)
Sally's Quad Black e/s (On the lower lash and then winged out.)
NYX jumbo e/s pencil in Black Bean
NYC Liquid eyeliner in Black
Mascara (On top and bottom but heavier on the bottom lash please.)

Lips-
Hot Topic crumby eye/lip liner in Red
Rimmel Lipstick in Alarm (Yellow based red.)

I hope you like this Emily!

They Don't Call it Black Friday For Nothing-FOTD




Whoo! Black Friday! Great for the economy, great for capitalism but not great for little old ladies who could get trampled to death. I am not a morning person, nor am I very good with crowds. I wait till around one in the afternoon to troll the sales. This may leave me with higher costs and picked through products but it reminds me of the hunt. (If you get that reference you get a cookie... an internet cookie Oooo!) Besides I'm more of an online shopper myself. By the time this is posted the day will be over. I hope you guys took advantage of the awesome sales that are going on in the indie make-up world. I can't wait for the haul posts!

What I used:
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy

mascara

lips-

I have some requests I need to do. Hopefully they'll be done tomorrow. :D

All Covered with HAIR!





If you are wondering who that strange man is with the blue hair that would be my fiance. Isn't he adorable? We did this last Saturday after he decided his hair wasn't blue enough. Two months ago we put some Shocking Blue by Manic Panic over his natural hair color. It turned a dark teal because he had golden/yellow brown hair. After obsessing over it for weeks he decided to bleach his hair.
We went to Sally's Beauty Supply grabbed some violet based bleach powder, a 30 developer and another tub of Shocking blue. We should have washed the first color out first because the there was a lot of green left at his tips. I'm talking half of his hair was blonde and the rest was green. We were both pretty shocked. We even bleached it twice to try and get the green out. The green turned to a beautiful transparent aqua color after the second bleaching. I freaking loved it but he wanted it bright ass blue.
The violet based bleach was suppose to take out the yellowish tint that ones hair gives when bleached. There was kind of a yellow/golden tone to it so we applied some Manic Panic Virgin Snow toner over the hair for twenty minutes. The yellow became a lot softer and didn't turn the blue green when we applied it.
It looks amazing!
My hair was really simple to do. We bought a 20 developer (I wish I had used the 30 though.) and Ion's Intense Dark Red Blonde hair dye to do my hair. I was tired of nasty box days so I tried something new. I wish I had gone redder but I chose the darker color because the lady suggested it. (grumble grumble bad idea.) Red is EXTREMELY difficult to keep because of how quickly it fades. Reds always seem to turn bronzy on me which bums me out a bit. I'm TRYING extremely hard not to wash my hair every day but I just hate the feeling my oily scalp gives me. I'm a bit OCD about showering.
Do you ladies/gents have any tips for keeping the color? Later on this week I'm buying a tub of Manic Panic Pillar red to add my hair to keep it vibrant. I read if you add a tad to your conditioner it can keep your hair from fading.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I'll probably make a post tomorrow too!

Sugar Plum-Fotd




I'm back at home right now for Thanksgiving break. I have three weeks of school left before winter break. I'm pretty shocked at how fast this semester has gone by. I'm glad to be home for the week. My best friend Heather is back for the week which will lead to awesomeness. I'm not sure where I'll be spending Thanksgiving I'm hoping it's not at my in-laws. I'm sure I'll be accused of turning him punk since we dyed his hair a bright blue. (Pics coming soon.)
Before Heather came over I made a quick run to Wallgreens to grab some food. I found the Wet N Wild Holiday palettes stuck in one of those corner displays. I loved the Goddess/brown palette but my fiance helped me decide on which one I wanted. They also had the Pixie palette and the Dark Elf palette at the store. I wish I had picked those up too. The pigmentation of the eyeshadows are brilliant. They are really great for four dollar palettes, they're worth a lot more than that.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Wet N Wild Sugar Plum Fairy E/s Palette
-Purple/mauve/grey used ( On the lid.)
-Darkest Purply Black with red sparkles (Used in the crease.)
-White with sparkles (To highlight of course.)
Nyc Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Bare :D

I hope you guys are having a wonderful week. :D

Hufflepuffs-FOTD




There is a rumor going around that Hufflepuffs are sexual dynamos. They are in fact such sex pots that the sorting hat has to put them in a house with a stupid name. I think of Hufflepuffs as the sexually active band geeks of Hogwarts. I wanted to give this a sexy look to it because Hufflepuffs get so much shit. I feel bad since most of the Hufflepuffs I know are really sweet people. They don't deserve the nasty reputation of stupid the name gives. Don't be disheartened Hufflepuffs! Take your badgery to heart and be good finders.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx eyeliner in Yellow (Just on the lid.)
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (Just on the lid.)
Shiro Cosmetics e/s Pikachu (I said it before, pikachu is the perfect yellow. Used on the lid and down on the lower lid.)
120 Palette
-Black (put in the crease and blended out like mad.)
E.L.F. Liquid eyeliner in Black ( Used first on the lower lash line and on top.)
NYX Jumbo e/s pencil in Black Bean (To line the lids.)
Mascara

lips-
Random Drugstore Black Lip Gloss from Last year

P.S. I won Grey's A Very Thankful November Giveaway! I didn't know until I checked my e-mail a second ago. HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS. *SQUEALS* Thank you Grey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay Tuned for Several Emilie Autumn inspired looks and a hair post/look I did on Julia. :3

Ravenclaw-Fotd




Ravenclaws are the smarty pants of Hogwarts. Smart, loyal and honest these folks make amazing friends. I wouldn't have made it through high school if it weren't for my Ravenclaws. I think Ravenclaws are people to look up too. Gryffindors can be a bit reckless, Hufflepuff's can be a bit too nice and Slytherin's are just to bad ass to have a following. I seriously love this look and wish I had a better full sized picture of it. For some reason the amazing sparkles won't show up on my late 90's digital camera. D:

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in Secrets & Lies ( Bright royal blue used on the crease.)
High Voltage e/s in Tombstone (Silvery grey used higher above the crease near the brow bone.)
High Voltage e/s in Sugar High (Navyish blue medium blue awesome color used on the lid.)
Estee Lauder e/s in Shimmery White (Used on the brow bone and on the corner of the eye lid.)
Sally Girl e/s in Silvery Dark Grey (Put under the lower lash line.)
NYC Liquid eyeliner in Black
Milani eyeliner in Black
Mascara

Lips-
NYX Round Lipstick in Thalia
I would have used Morgana Cryptoria's Shrieking Violet buuut I left it at my dorm. D: Seriously though if you try this look DO PURPLE LIPS. It will add a certain "smart art student" quality to the look.

Stay tuned for a Hufflepuff (the last look of this series) and a hair update post. :3

Slytherin-Fotd





Not all Slytherins are bad you know. Yeah some of them are a little snotty and Tom Riddle gives the house a bad name. My fiance is actually a Slytherin... which makes sitting in the common room a bit awkward. How am I suppose to get my mac on when Ron's all up in my face about dating a Slytherin. Er... sorry fan fiction mode here. In muggle news the male counterpart of the annoying couple (who broke up weeks ago) has been bothering me. I thought he was pretty harmless though my friend Julia hates him. He's made several suggestive passes at her including having pictures of her on his phone that she didn't know were taken. I didn't mind him until today when he shook his junk at me then sent passive aggressive messages to me over facebook. He's acting like a baby. It annoys me so much that when I walk past his door I mutter "Avada Kadava." I realize that's extremely immature but I'm not sure what else to do. I don't like getting in fights with people. I just want everyone to get along.

What I used:
Face-
Hard Candy Concealer Palette
Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Opal
Estee Lauder Bronze colored Blush (Countered cheek to add snooty fine boned features.)
Estee Lauder Peach Colored Blush (Brushed Lightly on apples.)
Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Shiro Cosmetics e/s in Articuno (Beautiful glittery silver used on the corner of the eye.)
High Voltage e/s in Zombie Chic (Perfect Slytherin green mmm, used on the lid.)
High Voltage e/s in Swamp Thing (Murky lovely dark green used on the crease.)
Shiro Cosmetics e/s in Articuno (Used to blend the upper crease and add some shimmery awesomeness)
Sally Girl e/s in Dark Silver (Used on the bottom of the lash line.)
Sally Girl e/s in Sparkly White (Used lightly on the brow bone as a highlighting shade.)
NYX Jumbo e/s pencil in white (On the waterline.)
NYC liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara

Lips-
NYX Round Lipstick in Circe

I left my under eye bare because I wanted to make me look "sunken in." If Slytherin are all pure-bloods they all must look pretty similar with sunken in eyes and high cheek bones. In the second picture I'm giving my best "Euck Potter smells," look. If my nose was a bit thinner I might have pulled it off haha.
I look forward to doing Ravenclaw tomorrow! :D

Gryffindor-FOTD




Harry Potter is a part of my life like my parents are. The books changed my life, helped me become who I am and helped me understand how the world works. I grew with Harry Potter, devouring the books like they were my life force. There will never be books like Harry Potter again. They shaped a whole generation of young people. When some one asks "What house are you in?" You automatically shout out your favorite. I wish I could explain better the impact Harry Potter has had on my life and the thousands... millions of children around the world. J.k. Rowling is my Queen. When I write I strive to live up to her standards. Some day I hope to meet her or at least have the courage to write her a letter.
Gryffindor is the house I was sorted into (er... wrote myself into) at ten. Most of my other friends (besides my BFF Heather) are in Ravenclaw. This weekend I'll be putting up more house based looks. :D

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Shiro Cosmetics e/s in Pikachu (My favorite yellow with red sparkles used on the inner corner of the eye.)
Morgana Cryptoria e/s in Twinkling Cherries ( Bright red used on the rest of the lid blended down.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Aztec Gold (Gold/Green used In the crease.)
Fyrinne e/s in The Witches Brewery (Black with red sparkles used on the inner crease lightly.)
Evil Shades e/s in Heartless Queen (Used over Twinkling Cherries to add more red.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Rupunzaul Had Hair Extensions (As a highlighting shade.)
NYC Liquid eyeliner
Milanai eyeliner
Mascara

lips-
Estee Lauder lipstick in Fig (My favorite neutral red.)

I know the red on one eye is uneven. After I took the pictures I noticed and fixed it. I was to lazy to re-do them. (Anime style sweat drop on forehead.)
I hope everyone whose going to the midnight showing of The Deathly Hallows Part 1 stays warm and enjoys it. I can't afford to go. D: D: D: D:
Love ya'll!

Bikers Ice Cream Party-REMIX-Fotd





I copied Kathyfuckingjacobs BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, and BRILLIANT recent look. Gah it was so pretty, I wish I had the same stuff she used because it would have looked so great. *scribbles down what she used for Fyrinnae wish list* I wish I knew how to link things on my blog otherwise I'd link to her post so you can see how pretty the look is. It's three in the morning as I type this... yeah...needless to say everything is going to be a bit crack filled.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
120 Palette
-Sparkly Black (Used on the lid.)
High Voltage e/s in Los Angeles (Silvery blue that blended right into the black used on the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Nijiro (Highlight of course.)
NYC liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara
(If you want to add depth I suggest using a blue eyeliner on the lower lash as well as bringing down the sparkly silver blue on the lower lash. This will add some "more" to the look. Kathy did this and it looked epic.)

Lips-
Chapstick
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Shrieking Violet
Later on in the day...
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Azalea Blue

So many people complimented me on my bright lips. I felt really good. I think I'm going to wear bright lips more often. I looked a bit hipster-esque wandering around in my pea coat, old cream colored hat and bright lips. At dinner a very pretty girl turned to me and said "That looks so good on you. You are so brave. I couldn't wear lipstick like that. I'd be afraid everyone was looking." I couldn't believe some one so pretty said that. I smiled at her and told her that I felt confident wearing this color. I'm off to bed kids. Long day tomorrow.

Iron Man's Brothel-Fotd








Eep! It's been to long since I last posted! I'm sorry! Today is my brother's birthday! So in honor of him I stole my neighbor's Iron Man Mask, did my make-up with the Iron Man colors and took pictures. He rolled his eyes at me haha. That's what brothers are for I guess.
