My Little Fandom-fotd




My Little Pony the eyeshadow by Darling Girl cosmetics is beautiful. It's a strange pale baby pink with a lavender hint and gold shimmer, gorgeous. I paired it with my new favorite purple 2Am for a pretty pop of color. The blue waterline was a bonus I felt like the look needed something.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Darling Girl e/s in My Little Pony (Baby doll pinky with a hint of purple patted on the lid. I love this shadow.)
Darling Girl e/s in Stargazer (Lovely red pink used on the outer corner of the crease. 2AM is blended into the color.)
Sugarpill e/s in 2AM (Beautiful red based purple blended all through the crease.)
Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Vanity (Matte ivory used to highlight.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Flipside
Sugarpill e/s in Mochi (A watery aqua minty oh god I can barely describe this color patted on the waterline.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black

Lips-
Rimmel lipsick in In Vouge

About the Supernatural looks I'm having a hard time representing the plaid, leather and blood the show has to offer. I was considering doing the femme versions of the characters but my Castiel cosplay isn't put together yet. I'm pretty obsessed actually, I'm so obsessed I was able to get my fiance to watch it. He loves it by the way. Maybe I should do some special effects for this series...hmmm.

Mochi Princess-fotd




I've really been enjoying my Heartbreaker palette.  The colors blend so easily together the smokey eye I love to do with velocity and 2 Am don't need a between shade. I've been using my jumbo pencil more because it's the best base to use with Sugarpill eyeshadows. I tried a neutral Urban Decay pencil but it didn't work as well as the nyx. The shadows do pretty well without a base too. You could just use a primer and they'd be just as vibrant.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk
Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette  Mochi (Soft sea foam green patted on the lid.)Acidberry (Acid green blended into the crease and the lower lid.) Velocity (A bright royal blue lightly applied to the outer lower lash line.) 2 Am (A red based purple ran along the lower waterline.)
Wet n Wild palette in Vanity (Matte ivory used on the inner corners of the lid and the brow bone.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black

lips-
Darling Girl lipstick in Demure (Seriously this is my favorite lip color of all time.)

Sorry of the infrequency in posts. Sometimes I save looks up so I can post more at a time. I have a Darling Girl review I've been meaning to post plus loads of swatches. Yay swatches for once! I was also thinking...of maybe a Supernatural mini series? Or is that to geeky? Oh wait, nope I don't care. I'm gonna do it! The first one should appear on Sunday! Love you guys!

Slipping into Sedation-fotd






I did this look two weeks ago after I watched Rock n' Roll Highschool which had the Ramones as the heros.  As a teen I was obsessed with 70's punk bands, Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash you name 'em I loved them. When Susan created the Darling Grrl collection I jumped on the shadows like a raving groupie. If you haven't check out the shadows yet, where have you been? They've been out for a while!    

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Rehab 
Darling Grrl e/s in Wanna Be Sedated (A bronzey brown with pretty pink sparkles patted on the lid.)
Darling Girl e/s Making Merry (My favorite berry toned red blended into the crease.)
Too Faced palette in Natural Eye (Heaven, the lightest color used to highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)
Almay liquid liner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes! 

lips-
Darling Girl Lipstick in Demure (I think...I've completely forgotten what I used that day.)

Oh God, I'm completely and utterly head over heels for Supernatural. I'm watching the seventh season, I'm only three episodes in and it's already messed up. Is anyone else watching anything good these days? I'd love to hear!

Life in Technicolor-fotd






When my Heartbreaker palette arrived I felt like it was Christmas in July. There it sat in a cardboard box looking unassuming covered in other bits of mail. I don't want to start writing prose about make-up but I was excited enough to do so. I wiped off all my "normal" make-up do put this look on my face. I then went on a date with my fiance, luckily he's not one of those dudes whines about a lot of make-up. All in all it was a good day.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk
Sugarpill e/s palette in Heartbreaker (Velocity a rich royal blue patted on the lid and rimmed along the lower lid. 2 A.M. a lovely red based purple blended widely into the crease. Mochi a seafoam aqua blue brushed lightly on the inner corner of the lid and lower lid to meet Velocity. Acidberry a beautiful acidic green is then patted on the lower waterline to make the eyes extremely bright.)
Sugarpill e/s in Poison Plum (Blue based purple with a red hint blended between Velocity and 2.A.M. for a gradient effect.)
Sugarpill e/s in Tako (Pure sugary white used to lightly highlight the brow bone.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Maybelliene Mascara

Lips-
Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Totally Tubular

I have a few looks saved up right now. A summery yellow/orange/red look, a subtle Darling Girl look and a few more looks using the Heartbreaker palette. Which one should I post first? I'm thinking the Darling Girl one since I wore it two weeks ago. Uh, I need to post more often. Love you guys!

Slash Fic-fotd




I haven't used my 120 palette in a long time, like a super duper long time. I always forget about it since it's just shoved in one of my desk drawers and not with my other make-up stuff. 120 palettes are perfect for people without much make-up who want to try out a bunch of colors without spending much. I won mine in a giveaway which makes it extra special to me. I would love to have worn this to a club instead of just puttering around my house all day. Oh well!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow stick in Delinquent (A shimmery dark purple that blends out rather patchy.)
Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk (Dabbed on the inner corner of the lid and the crease to brow bone.)
120 eyeshadow palette (Matte purple shadow blended upward. Shimmery purple patted on the lid and blended lightly toward the matte purple, also used along the lower lash line. Shimmery black added at the inner crease to add a bit of depth. Shimmery white swept along the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)
Nyx Studio Liquid liner in Extreme Blue
Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plus mascara

lips-
Darling Girl lip balm in Demure

Holy crap guys, my Heartbreaker palette came today! Stay tuned because I'm going to have swatches and a look up soon!

Trenchcoat Angel-fotd





I've become rather obsessed with Supernatural as of recently. I'm a late comer to the show, but my friend Natalie forced me into watching a few episodes with her late one night. I'm kind of in love with Dean. Mostly because of his "male model type" hottness and because of his loyalty to his family. Castiel is my other favorite, he's hilarious in a dry way and I love his use of swear words. "Hey Assbut!" Whilst I'm being nerdy I'd like to add the good news, SAILOR MOON IS GOING TO BE BACK NEXT SUMMER. I AM SO HAPPY! Sailor Moon the anime and the manga were my favorite growing up. I don't think I would have made it out of grade school. Some people are inspired by historical figures or celebrities, I was inspired by a group of middle school girls who fought evil. 

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Rehab
Darling Girl e/s in Survival Instincts (Sparkly copper/purple/red patted on the lid.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte cranberry red blended into the crease, while the sparkly copper is used along the lower lash line.)
Wet n Wild Vanity palette (Golden Brown blended into the crease over the cranberry color. Matte brown blended softly on the outer corner of the crease. Shimmery ivory swept on the brow bone.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil 1999
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
NYX round lipstick in Rae
Wet n Wild lipstick in These Abode Walls

Okay back to make-up for a sec I ordered the new Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette on Friday. I finally had enough money to buy it but they were out on the site. I threw a hissy fit on Twitter and Mai came to my rescue. She told me Shanalogic which has the whole Sugarpill line on the site. I quickly purchased it, letting out a warrior like yell with victory. Soon it will be in my grasp! Muahahaha!
