Purple Propaganda-fotd




Sorry I haven't made the big post yet but it's coming.
I'm dying my hair brown tomorrow. I've decided not to leave in my pink streak because I need a job. If I do get a job that allows crazy dye colors I'll probably do pink or red. I'm going to miss my red hair so much but I have to move on. (Or you know... just have it brown for a little while haha.)

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
BRM e/s in Dionysus (Shimmering true purple used on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Darling Misfits (A starry pinky-purple used in the crease.) (lol they look funky again...)
Fyrinnae e/s in Faerie Realm ( sparkly sheer lavender used to highlight.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Essence Lip Gloss in Bubble Babe

Tomorrow I'm helping my friend Natalie do some head shots for her model mayhem profile. I'm a bit nervous because I'm doing the make-up and the photography. Wish me luck! I hope the pictures turn out nice.

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
BRM e/s in Ocean Potion (Teal with turquoise shimmer used on the lid.)

Broseidon King of the Brocean-fotd/haul

(Click on the pic to make it bigger and to see the names.)


Surprisingly there hasn't been a lot of buzz about Black Rose Minerals. Jasmine the owner of High Voltage and Heather of Eyeconic both recommended the company to me. As I mentioned in a pervious post I placed a small order and had some difficulty with the cart. I contacted Rosa over Twitter and she figured out what the problem was. I hadn't even reached the six dollar minimum. HERPADERP. Rose was very patient with me and understanding of my...brain fart. When I opened my package I was really impressed by the care that went into it. Everything was inside a small paper envelope with a stamped rose on it. The free samples, plus a coupon and the invoice were in a separate plastic baggie from the samples I bought.
Laying out my samples I was impressed by the color array but annoyed at myself for picking such "easy" colors. My annoyance was over quickly once I started to actually use the eyeshadows. All of the colors except for the two free samples (Ares, the red color and Squash, the pumpkiny orange.) and Poseidon are from the NSFW collection. There are two colors that you can only get if you buy the whole collection and those colors are Traffiking (the yellow based orange.) and Dionysus (The true purple, aka my favorite.) Ocean Potion (A pretty blue with hints of teal in it.), Dollface (The nearly magenta pink.) and Gremlin (The monster green.) are all part of BRM's regular collection. I'm defiantly ordering again. I'm looking at Peacocky which could be the perfect peacock teal that I'm looking for. Mome Rath looks super pretty too! Gah!
What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
BRM e/s in Poseidon (A teal base with turquoise shimmer patted on the lid.)
BRM e/s in Dionysus (True purple used in the crease, beautiful to blend.)
BRM e/s in Dollface (Baby doll pink used over the wing to add more BAM!)
Estee Lauder e/s in Pink Ice (Frosty soft pink used to highlight.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black

Lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Valentine
Nyx Round Lipstick in Thalia (Used after the Valentine wore off.)

Do you guys stick to "safe" colors when you buy from new companies? I seem to have a lot of similar colors that I don't end up using because I have a favorite amongst those. I'm currently writing a Persephone Minerals review for all of you! Yay!

Boogie Woogie Bugel Gal-fotd





Classy and safe like your Mother's favorite perfume. Or maybe when you think of a pin-up inspired look you think of Bettie Page with her legs akimbo batting her long lashes at you. A retro kind of sexy that still smolders through the modern age. I like doing pin-up looks when I want to look classy fast. (Especially when I see my fiance's parents. They don't like my colorful make-up.) I did a pin-up inspired hair style but I couldn't get it in frame without looking silly. I was a side part with a bandana for a head band and double ponytails. I TRIED to do victory curls but I could not do them for the life of me! Maybe it's because my ends are fried from dying my hair so often. I'm not sure.
Speaking of hair dying I'm dying my hair a box brown tomorrow. It's pretty reddish brown that I've used in the past. (Like high school past.) My ends are really dry and I was wondering what I should do to re-hydrate or "fix" the broken ends. I condition daily and skip shampooing every other day. My hair has always been healthy so broken ends are new to me.

What I used:

Brows- (Pin up chicks have striking brows to define their eyes.)
Nyx Chocolate e/s (A dark brown used on the arch and outer wing.)
Nyx Sahara (Medium brown used to define and create shape.)

Eyes-
TFSI
Wet n Wild Vanity palette
-Light matte ivory used on the lid and to highlight the brow bone.
-Sandy tan matte used in the crease to create the shape, blended out softly.
-Warm chocolate matte brown used on the outer crease.
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara
(Accent lashes would be ideal for this look.)

lips-
Hot Topic Red lip liner
Nyx Jumbo lip pencil in Dark Red

If you want to make this a bit more modern I suggest using a yellow on the lid with a warm chocolate brown in the crease and bright pink lips.
My bandana was thrown at me by a Macy's float worker at the Columbus Pride I went to on Saturday. If you guys are interested in seeing some pictures of the Pride parade I'll defiantly post them.

Kiss of Moss-fotd






Oh poop I messed up one of the wings in my crease. My eyes are actually two different heights so I try to make my eye make-up match. Today I was off my game. In happier news I placed a small order with Black Rose Minerals. I had a small problem with the check out page which lead me to DM Rosa the owner. She was very patient with me until she realized the problem, the check out has a six dollar minimum and I was below that. I felt pretty derpy after that. Oh man. Thank you again Rosa! You are awesome!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s Eternal Innocence (Lime green w/ gold reflects
High Voltage cosmetics e/s in Freestyle (Deep forest green with beautiful shimmer used in the crease.)
Wet n Wild e/s in Brulee (Used to highlight.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
High Voltage lip whip in Iron Butterfly (Used first.)
Fyrinnae Lip Luster in Puppy Love

I'm fixing on writing a review soon, I was wondering who you wanted to read about? Persephone, Fyrinnae, Sobe Botanicals or Sugarpill? You decide! The company that gets the most comments will get a review.

Stylish Blogger Award!


Thank you, Vulcan Butterfly for giving me this award. You like me! You really like me! *fans face with hands*
Oh jeez, I guess your expecting interesting facts about me.

1. As a toddler I enjoyed nothing more then running out of the house naked. I used to tear off all my clothes and watch the older boys play hockey down the street. My parents would be getting me ready for a bath, look at the water and then I'd be out the door.

2. When I was five I used to eat the red hairs off of my Ariel dolls. I was convinced that if I ate her hair my hair would grow red too. I ate a lot of strange small objects as a child but thankfully I've grown out of that stage.

3. I got into make-up when I was fourteen. I was a young Gothling in search of something to make me look less like a geeky chick squeezing into cute goth clothes and more like a vamp. I ended up wearing way more eyeliner then normal humans should ever wear but I learned. I also got a job at Hot Topic when I was fifteen. I was BAMF. With my boots and my Hello Kitty tee shirts. Aw yeah!

4. I love to write, however I used to want to be an artist. I was convinced my art was good enough for me to become a Manga-ka. Uhm that didn't happen. Now I express my artistic skills by painting my face.

5. My first anime was Sailor Moon. I have lots and lots of badly drawn fan art dedicated to my own Sailor troop. We were the Zodiac Senshi, I was their leader Sailor Sagittarius. I was pretty bad ass a Sailor Scout I think.

6. I freaking LOVE kids shows. I could sit for HOURS watching Spongebob Square Pants or My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

7. My best friend and I met in first grade. She thought I looked like a princess and needed defending. While I thought she looked hungry and needed feeding. I've been feeding her ever since. Thanks to her we weren't bullied nearly as bad as some people.

Ok I tag
Reggie of Lipstick Vendetta because I LOVE the way she does her make-up.

Wendy of Turtle Beauty, ok you have to look at her outfits of the day. So cute!

Kathy of Kathy Fucking Jacobs one of my favorite people ever!

Heather of Eyeconic Makeup just look at her! You can totally tell she's a straight up ballah.

Wendi of Makeup Zombie She's a sassy sweetie pie with the cutest kids!

Lorraine of Martian's Delights looks great in everything. I'm so jealous!

Robyn of Stay Beautiful her lipstick equations make me like math.

If I could tag all of you awesome beauty bloggers I would. Seriously. I love reading new blogs and old blogs alike.

Triumph for Cake-fotd




I came downstairs to here my brother and his best friend playing Portal 2. Now, I don't play video games much. I'm a watcher of video games but I LOVE Portal. Which is why I'm panting over the Science Collection Shiro Cosmetics released a month or so ago. If you love video games please go check it out!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (Just a very small dab on the outer crease.)
Wet n Wild e/s in Brulee (A soft biege used on the inner corner of the lid and to highlight.)
Concrete Minerals e/s in Wicked (Medium purple used on the rest of the lid.)
Sobe Botanicals* e/s in Sugar Plum Fairy (Soft plum used in the crease.)
Nyx eyeliner in yellow (To line the waterline.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Nyx Round Lipstick in Thaila

I'm currently listening to the new Lady Gaga cd. I am IN LOVE with Highway Unicorn and Bloody Mary. Edge of Glory makes me tear up a bit... I'm a sap ok? I cry at everything. (Including touching moments in Star Trek Next Generation that have something to do with Data's lack of humanity or Worf... or everything. I cry at least twice with every season.)


*I was given the eyeshadow samples for free but that in now way effects my opinion of the products.

Jubliee-X-men fotd





Ah! I should have added the blue on the lower lash line to make it look more authentic. (Her costume is pink,yellow and blue.) Jubilee has the ability to create firecrackers or mini explosions in her hands. She can throw them to distract people or she can blow crap up with the little balls of energy. She was Wolverine's sidekick in the 90's, her Peter Pan like attitude worked well with his grumpy worldly personality. She grew to think of him as a father since her own Father and Mother were murdered by assassins. Her parents were Chinese immigrants who came to America to escape said assassins. Later on there is a whole bunch of business about her becoming a vampire and blah blah.
Sorry the blurbs don't contain all the story lines the character has been through. Marvel retcons story lines so much a person can't always keep them straight.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae P.E.
Shiro Cosmetics e/s in Pikachu (Bright yellow with red glitter patted on the lid.)
Sugarpill e/s Decora (Nearly neon pink with green shimmery used in the crease.)
Persephone minerals e/s in Chara (Sheer peachy ivory used to highlight the lid.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Nyx Round lipstick in Thaila

If you like my look please check out Erin's take on Jubilee. She's doing her own Women of X-men series I think you should check it out!
I kinda feel like my look should have had glitter considering her powers are "fireworks." But I'm saving the dramatic looks for Dazzler and Psylocke. (Oh yeah those are going to be fun.)

Emma Frost-X-men Fotd





Emma Frost is a bad ass. When the X-men first met Emma she was known as the White Queen in the baddy group called the Hellfire Club. She's a very selfish, haughty young woman whose powers reflect her icy nature. She can turn into a diamond and use her telecentic powers to make your boyfriend cheat on you. (Bad Scott Summers! BAD!) She is defiantly the favorite bad girl of the Marvel universe. That's why I decided to do this cool toned pin-up look. Emma doesn't need dramatic make-up to catch the guys. Her cool attitude and mental fuckery makes them wanting more.

What I used:

Face-
L'oreal True Match Concealer
Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer
Estee Lauder Bronzer in Bronze Goddess
Estee Lauder Tender Blush in Rose Nuance
Estee Lauder e/s in Pink Ice (To highlight the cheeks,bridge of the nose and cupids bow.)
Nyx e/s in Chocolate (Dark brown used to fill in the brows.)

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s in French Vanilla Shake (Used on the lid and brow bone.)
Estee Lauder e/s in Pale Moon and Mocha Cup (Mixed together and used on the crease for a light cool toned brown color.)
Estee Lauder e/s in Mocha Cup (A cool brown used on the lower lash line.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Estee Lauder e/s in Pink Ice (Used to highlight the eyeliner on the lid.)
Milani eyeliner in black
Nyx Jumbo e/s pencil in Milk (Used on the water line.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Calavera Cupcake (Brilliant silver used on the inner edge of the eye lid.)
Nyx loose glitter in Disco Ball (A dab of glitter used on top of the silver.)

lips-
High Voltage Amplified lipstick in New Rose (Cool toned nearly nude pink.)

What do you think? Did I do a good job representing Miss Frost? I'm thinking I may do Dazzler or Jubilee next, Polaris too. I'm sorry I'm so behind on reply to comments. I want to thank you all for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me. Once I'm able to afford it I'll have a giveaway to thank all of you.

Pixie-An X-men fotd





Pixie is my all time favorite mutant. With fairy wings, black eyes and pink hair she is very bubbly and chatty. She has a dagger that's actually a piece of her soul that she can use to fight. She's one of the newer mutants and didn't have her own story line until much later in the comic. I think a lot of people can pick out a mutant and feel "close" or similar to that character. I defiantly feel like Pixie and I are similar especially with the whole bubbly attitude.
Thank you so much for your feed back on Deep Space Nine. I'm excited now! Someone asked if I liked Voyager... uhm YES. Captain Janeway does not get enough credit. She is a BAFF, a bad ass father fuckah. Have you seen what she can do? She can convert a borg and make her part of her crew. Did Picard do that? No! Though Picard is just as awesome.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Sugarpill Chromalust in Decor (Bright pink with green reflects patted on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Glitterboi (Blackened blue based purple used on the outer crease.)
Sugarpill e/s in Poison Plum (Red based purple used on the inner crease and blended heavily into the Glitterboi.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Faerie Realm (A sheer lavender used to highlight.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk (Used on the waterline.)

Lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Azalea Blue

Now that I have this I'm totally going to do a Pinkie Pie inspired look. Tomorrow I'm doing an Emma Frost look involving a bit of glitter and a classic pin-up look turned icy. Apparently X-men First Class did well enough for the producers to look into two other films. I won't lie to you I'm a bit excited as well as worried. The last X-men movie was terrible, I hope they don't ruin the story.

Sugarpill Winnings and Collection




Oh No Pikachu stole all my Sugarpill stuff! Including my new chromalust Decora. Mean Pikachu! He was eyeing my winnings whilst I was taking pictures. If you can see him in the first picture just his ears are sticking out. Pikachu's aren't usually attracted to shiny things (That's Meowth's ball game.) but I think mine wants to put some pink on his cheeks.
With my eyeshadow came an eyeshadow sample of Birthday Girl which is a pastel kind of pink. It reminds me of baby blankets aw. I love Decora though so much. The name is from the Decora fashion trend in Japan. These punky raver chicks pile crap on their heads, arms, necks and faces like hermit crabs. Then they wear all their colorful belongings out to shop for more stuff. It's one of my favorite Japanese trends next to the Fairy kei lolita style. Decora the chromalust perfectly represents these adorable Japanese girls with it's bright pink eyeshadow.
If you'd like to see a look I did using it stay tuned for tomorrow.

Violet Fire-fotd





Do you like my duck face haha? The violet on the lid looks pinker in the bottom pictures but the top picture is the most accurate picture of the color I could get.
Right now my fiance and I are on the fourth season of Star Trek Next Generation. I have become enthralled with the series. We're going to watch Deep Space Nine after we finish Next Gen. I'm not looking forward to Deep Space Nine as I've heard a lot of fans don't like the series themselves. What do you think of Deep Space Nine? Have you seen it?

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae P.E.
L'oreal eyeliner in violet (Used on lash line upper and lower where the P.E. never sticks.)
Hi-Fi cosmetics e/s in Terror in the depths (Light sweet violet patted on the lid and along the lower lash line.)
High Voltage cosmetics e/s in Crowd Surfing (Pinky/purple w/ gold reflects swept in the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Madam and Eve (Strange purple/teal/plum used on the outer crease.)
Concrete Minerals e/s in White Rabbit (Used to highlight of course.)
Hot Topic eyeliner in purple (Used on the waterline.)
Sugarpill e/s in Poison Plum (The perfect purple used to reline the upper lash line.)
Mascara

lips-
High Voltage Amplified Lip Stick (?) in Alter Ego (Patted onto the lips and blended with finger.)
Essence Lipgloss in Bubble Babe

Should I do another Star Trek inspired look or an X-men look. Do you have another sci-fi series I should look into doing an inspired look from?

Futuristic Turquoise-fotd




Hmm this looks like a look I did a week or so ago. Strange, it doesn't look that way in person. I really love how sparkly this look is. I was thinking of doing a white waterline but flipside was calling to me. Sadly I don't have anything fun to blog about. I think I'm going to be writing a few reviews so keep an eye out for those.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s in Bali Mynah (Sparkly Turquoise patted on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Futuristic Glamrock (Beautiful sky blue with pink reflects swept onto the inner half of the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Sleepy Hallow (Ocean blue with gold shimmer blended onto the outer crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Dinosaur Plushie (GLITTERY EYESHADOW OF AWESOME used to highlight.)
Concrete Minerals e/s White Rabbit (Sheer white with purple/pink duo-chrome used to highlight.)
Sephora Electro eyeliner in Electro Marine (Used along the upper lash line.)
Nyx Studio Eyeliner in Extreme Blue (Used to create the wing.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Flipside (Teal used on the waterline.)
Mascara

lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Valentine (Blended with the finger.)

Sleepy Hallow is the best eyeshadow in the whole world. I'd like a whole vat of it so I can just dip my whole face in it.

Amythest Spiritus -fotd





I wore this yesterday but I didn't do anything worth blogging about. Today however I was able to get out of the house! I hung out with a close friend of mine whose boyfriend works at a mall on the nicer side of Cleveland. We hung around annoying him at work until I dragged her into Sephora for a few minutes while he was with a costumer. I swatched a dozen things but the products that stood out to me the most were the Make-up Forever Aqua Liners. My favorites are 8, the electric purple, and 5 which looks like a teal to me. Holy crap you guys. Holy crap. I washed my hands several times today as well as went swimming. They have just begun to wear off after seven hours of abuse. I NEED the purple. Like NEED. *foams at the mouth*

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Sobe Botanicals Stick It!
Persephone Minerals e/s in Smoke (Smokey purple w/ loads of glitter used on the lid.)
Brazen Cosmetics e/s in <3 (Sparkly pink used in the crease.)
Concrete Minerals e/s in White Rabbit (Sheer white w/ a pink duo-chrome used to highlight and also used on the inner corner of the lid. As well as over the eyeshadow stick.)
E.L.F. Shadow stick in Smoke (Applied to the bottom of the lash line.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black

lips-
Fyrinnae Lip Luster in Puppy Love (Discontinued)

In some REALLY awesome news I won Slasherpaint's giveaway! I was able to pick one Sugarpill product as my prize. I picked Decora which is a Chromalust since Asylum wasn't on the site. Please check out Slasher's channel you will love his mustache and killer make-up skills. I'd also like to mention he's a burlesque dancer... uhm hot! Please subscribe to his channel you'll be happy you did.
