Twiggy Pink-FOTD




My life has been choke full of school work as of lately. I have papers coming out of my ears right now. I'm trying to catch up with the stuff I missed when I went home early to see my brother. I missed a test as well as doing some important papers but all the teachers are really nice at Kent. They allow you to re-take the exams and give alternate assignments to make up for the grades lost. I'm lucky to have good profs this year.
I'm still writing the High voltage I promised. It's difficult because I really like the products but I don't want to gush. I hope to be back to daily posts soon. I'm working on a short story for one of my classes right now. Maybe I'll post it if it's good enough. :D
This look is from yesterday when I posted about Twiggy. It was a difficult day for me. I spotted several people from my high school wearing pink around Kent. They all gave me the same sad yet sweet smile of knowing. I hope we won't have to wear the favorite colors of other children who were lost to bullyscide in the future. When I have children I want them to grow up bully free.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae P.E.
Fyrinnae e/s in sugar skulls (The perfect hot pink used on the lid.)
Fyrinnae arcane magick e/s in sequined master (Medium purple used in the crease.)
Sugarpill e/s in poison plum (Used over the sequined master in the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in kitten in heels (Cool based hot pink used over sugar skulls for more pink.)
Urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero
Milani eyeliner in black
mascara
Wet n wild spoiled brat e/s palette (The pink was used to fill in my brows.)

lips-
Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Valentine

I really hope the last post I made wasn't to preachy. Twiggy was a very important person in my life and I feel like people should know about him. He wasn't just the victim of bullying he was a real person whose life deserves to be celebrated. :)

Twiggy-Wearing Pink for Eric Mohat



It's been four years since my friend Twiggy killed himself because he was bullied. Eric "Twiggy" Mohat was the most talented person I knew. He could play the piano, sing, dance and could tell jokes like no other. I know I've written about him before because his death influenced me so much. He was so bright, such a star I hate to think that other creative, talented teens could kill themselves because of bullying.
Please, if you know someone who is being bullied or if you are the one being bullied tell someone. Tell an adult especially one you can trust. If you have a favorite teacher tell them about your bullying. This CAN be stopped. Even if the bullying is online you need to tell someone. Report them to the site and tell your parents. They will tell school officials so the bullying is stopped.
Eric's parents have sinced sued our high school. In Twiggy's case teachers knew about his bullying but nothing was done. They allowed the torture to continue until he can't take it anymore. The day he died one of the bullies said to him "Why don't you go home and kill yourself." He did.
I think about him every day. His bullies live in regret and pain every day because they destroyed the light of a rising star. Don't let your light go out. Please seek help if you are being bullied or are thinking about suicide.
If you need help here is a suicide prevention helpline.



Thank you so much.

Zombie's Secret-Fotd




I'm going on a "date" with my friend Little Isis today. She had an extra ticket for a play her school wanted her to review so she invited me. I haven't been to Playhouse Square since I saw the Lord of the Dance with my Mom when I was thirteen. Playhouse Square is like the Broadway of Cleveland, a lot of famous plays have run through there. If you haven't been there then you can't say you are a true Clevelander.
For this smokey green look I follow this tutorial by Iwantedtoseeonevideo. She's a very talented youtube guru with a full range of tutorials. She does a lot of Victoria's Secret looks but my favorites are her special effects make-up tutorials. She's also very down to Earth and actually takes the time to answer questions. She's not a snob like some gurus that will remain nameless.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
High voltage e/s in swamp thing (Metallic deep green used on the lid and lower lash line.)
Wet n wild e/s palette in night elf (Ivory used on the inner corner/highlight.)
High voltage e/s in zombie chic (Used as the crease color, blended into the lid.)
Wet n wild e/s palette in night elf (The sparkly black used on the crease/into the lid.)
Wet n wild e/s palette in night elf (Red shadow used on the brows to fill them in.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
milani eyeliner in black

lips-
Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in roses and violets

Ok I seriously have to do a review of High Voltage cosmetics. I cannot possibly tell you how much I love this company. This means I have to do swatches though. I dislike doing swatches boo! Tomorrow, tomorrow I promise a review!

Dark Side of the Moon-Dramatic look









The moon was huge last night. In my town however it was covered up by clouds so only a little of the blue light escaped.

Secret Spring-fotd




I'm not usually one to wear white lids with a colored crease. I think it looks better on Jerry of Silhouette Scream then it does on me. But I wanted to challenge myself so I went for it. Sadly Sugarpill's poison plum does not blending on my eye. It gets really patchy depending on where I put it. I'm hoping that when Shrinkle (The owner of Sugarpill.) releases her new eye base poison plum blends over it. I'd still recommend the shadow of course, it's the perfect purple.

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx jumbo pencil in milk (Used on the lid then blended down.)
Sugarpill poison plum (Blended onto the crease and lower lid. Blended down to soft purple color.)
Aromaleigh e/s in slyph (Matte based white with TONS of sparkles used on the lid.)
Estee Lauder e/s in pink ice (Frosty pale pink used to highlight.)
Milani eyeliner in black
Almay liquid liner in black
mascara
Wet n wild e/s palette in night elf (The red in the palette to fill in the eyebrows. :D)

Lips-
Estee lauder lipgloss in rose (Rosy pink with a gold undertone.)

It's so nice to be home and on Spring break. My fiance and I cleaned the house for my parents and cleaned our room from top to bottom. Today we're finally celebrating my birthday despite the fact that it was in December. My parents couldn't afford presents or even a birthday cake. We're also celebrating my youngest brother's birthday. He chose a rib place... it's a good thing I like salad lol. (It's the only think I'll be able to eat since I'm a vegetarian.)
I hope you guys are enjoying your weekends. I love you!

Saint Patrick Days and Forgotten Grey/Blue-Two fotd





Oh boy what an eventful two days.
My poor brother Josef swallowed a nail yesterday while he was fixing the door for my other brother Nicholas. Nicholas came in to yell at Josef for making so much noise and Josef turned to yell back, swallowing the nail in his rage. My Dad rushed him to the E.R. where the did a whole bunch of x-rays. Then they poked him full of holes (his veins are very deep.) to give him an I.V. My brother thankfully has a high pain tolerance like my Mom. He is also blessed with the ability to heal quickly but with the nail in his stomach the doctors doubted he'd heal from a nail scrap on the inside.
The doctors sedated him and then stuck a scope down his throat. They didn't grab it the first time but this morning they tried again and grabbed it! I was so thankful to hear my brother was ok. We were all pretty scared.

What I used for the Saint Patrick's Day Look:
Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae PE
Fyrinnae e/s in Lief (A beetle like green used on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Danse Macabe (A bright lime green used in the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Otherworld (The perfect sheer pale aqua highlight.)
Sugarpill e/s in Tipsy (A true green used under the eye.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

What I used on the Forgotten Grey/Blue look:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in Electric Boogie (I think this is the color I'm not sure... I used it on the lid though.)
Sobe Botanicals e/s in Havok (A beautiful dove grey used in the crease. Smooth as buttah I tell you! Also used under the eye.)
Wet N Wild Night Elf e/s palette (The pale ivory to highlight and the red to fill in the brows.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
mascara

Sorry I didn't get any good full face shots of either look. :( I wasn't really wearing any exciting lip colors or blushes so you aren't missing much. I'll have another look to show you guys tomorrow that I did today. :D I'm excited to show you since it was the first time I used Brazen cosmetic eyeshadow.
Stay tuned sprites!

NEW HAIR! :D




Oh hai long time no post! School has been HELL these last few weeks. Keeping up can be hard but falling behind makes it harder. My friend Brandon says once you're behind you are behind for the rest of the semester. >.<
Here's what I used in my hair. (Manic panic hair dyes are vibrant but they wash out fast. If you plan on using Manic panic make sure to only wash your hair once every other day or maybe three days out of the week.)
-Manic panic's Hot Hot Pink (used on my pre-lightened streak.)
-A base of conditioner mixed with a small bit of Manic panic's wildfire and hot hot pink with a larger amount of special effects hair dye in cherry bomb. (I spread this mixture all over my hair then let it sit all night.)
Do you like dying your hair? What color should I dye my little streak next? I love you guys thank you for staying with me. I will be making a posts more often now that mid-terms are over.
Pixie

Please Excuse My Absence

I have midterms this week and I won't be able to post until they are over.
I love you all! Thank you for sticking with me.

Winter Winds-Fotd




I'm having a blah day. It's raining outside but later on tonight we're suppose to get eight inches of snow. EIGHT INCHES! Living in Ohio is like having a Bi-polar parent. You never know what you're going to wake up to in the morning. Yesterday it was fifty! I certainly talk about the weather a lot don't I? We obsess over it here I'm sorry.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae PE
High Voltage e/s in Icy wind (Minty blue green used the lid.)
Sobe Botanicals e/s in Nymph-O (Darker mint green used in the crease and on the lower lash line.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Otherworldly (A sheer tealy-green used to highlight.)
NYX Liquid Eyeliner in Extreme blue
Sephora Eyeliner in Electro marine (Upper and lower waterlines.)
Curled Lash
Mascara

Lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Roses and Violets

Yesterday I lightened the fiance's hair to almost white. It's weird seeing him without the blue! I also re-bleached the back of Cassie's hair and put blue in. It needs more blue but we'll put more in tonight. I lightened a small strip of hair behind front section of my " bangs." It didn't lighten more then a few levels and I want it to be lighter so I'm going to bleach it soon. Then I'm adding purple and pink it it! Yeee!!!! Wish me luck!

Innocent Gold-Fotd





Oh man it's been a while since I used my eyeshadows from Hi-Fi cosmetics. I forgot how creamy the shadows are and how nice they blend out. Jasmine of High Voltage cosmetics suggested I make a spread sheet of all the colors and brands I have so I can randomly pick two shades to use on my lid and crease. This look was inspired by the idea to try some new combos since I haven't used coral/salmon pink in a while.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae PE
Hi-Fi cosmetics e/s in Butterfly Wings (A coral orange that fades to salmon pink on the lid and lower lash line.)
Sugarpill e/s in Goldilux (The perfect gold used in the crease and lower lash line outer corner.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Nijiro (Used as a highlighter.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Estee Lauder Shadowstick Duo in Gold Bronze ( The gold shade used on the waterline.)
Curled Lashes
Mascara

Lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Valentine

I really like the Estee Lauder shadowsticks. Estee Lauder was the first make-up I ever used because I stole it from my mother.(When I was in fifth grade I started wearing foundation. I didn't start wearing eyeshadow till sixth grade.) When I was a teen I wore their foundation and used their eyeshadows. I've moved on to more colorful indie pastures but I still use their products. (Especially when my Mom gives them to me because she doesn't like the products.) If you'd like to see several reviews on some Estee Lauder products please check out Grey's blog post.
I'll write the full history of my make-up use soon. (if you are interested.) I'm also thinking of grabbing my Mom to help me with a reviews. She's trying out several skin creams and she'd like me to take a pictures of her make-up. ;d

Poison Stardust-Fotd





The beautiful Diavolobella posted a look on twitter using electro stardust and poison plum. I had to copy it! I think the color combo is really pretty and they blended together beautifully.

Julia wants me to put this on her next time I do her make-up. Julia's been experimenting with her own make-up a lot lately. She did this really pretty orange/gold and plum combo that made her eyes look beautiful. I've also been influencing my Mother into trying new colors. I applied this pretty sooty green color in her crease yesterday and she loved it. I really enjoy doing other people's make-up it's relaxing and challenging at the same time.
Please stay tuned for more looks, a review and a list of companies I buy from/who have good business practices.
I love you guys. Thank you for reading my blog.

The Great and Mighty Sugarpill-First Impressions








I was so excited to see that Sugarpill was on sale on Valentines Day that I screeched in happiness. So I placed a small order consisting of the pressed eyeshadow poison plum and the chromalust loose eyeshadow in goldilux. The order arrived quickly in a box with the adorable Sugarpill cat printed on the side. I ripped open the box and marveled at the beautiful packaging. I am not a hoarder by any means but I'm keeping the packaging just because it's so freaking cute. With my order I received a sample of the chromalust tipsy which is a frosty green color and a cute sticker. I put the sticker on my make-up storage box so I can look at the pretty holographic font every time I do my make-up.
My first impression of Sugarpill is GASJDGUAYSFDGYasgdsDOIatd98qwYQEY2 why did I wait so long to buy from Sugarpill? Next time, and there will be a next time, I'm going to buy Decro and Love+ maybe even absinthe ok royal sugar can come too. :D

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Sugarpill e/s in poison plum (Perfect purple used on the lid and on the lower lash line.)
Sugarpill e/s in goldilux (Powder gold applied over the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in French Vanilla Shake (To highlight of course.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Azalea Blue

What do you guys think of Sugarpill? Have you used these products before? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
