Illusions of Goodness-Experiment (June 22, 2013)

I had always thought false eyelashes were the hardest thing to apply to ones face, give me liquid latex in the shape of a wound or a burn any day. So when I cracked open this months voxbox I yelped in terror to see two boxes of fluttery beautiful false lashes from the company kiss. They came with their own lash glue and a tiny pink pair of tweezers you are suppose to use to apply the lashes.  Hey I thought to myself maybe things will be easier this time! So I broke 'em out one dark and stormy night to see if I could follow through with my assumption. I'm happy to report I didn't stab my eye out! I really like how natural these lashes look, though very long they aren't heavy on my lash line.

What I used:

Eyes-
Maybelliene Color Tattoo in Barely Beige
Milani color eyez stick in royal purple
Sugarpill eyeshadow in Dollipop (Blended lightly into the inner crease.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Magic (Blended into the crease.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Tornado (Patted onto the lid.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Illusion (To highlight.)
Urban Decay eyeliner (Vintage 24/7 glide on pencil) in Gunmetal (Top and bottom lash line.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Oz (The silver part of the duo used over Gunmetal)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Aura (The pink side used to further blend out the crease and highlight the inner corner of the lid.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in South (Used to lightly darken the lower lash line.)
Eyeliner
Kiss False lashes in 05 ( I think I am to lazy to check right now.)

lips-
A dupe of Mac's Candy Yum Yum

I mostly used Urban Decay's Glinda palette for this look since I had gotten it that day. I love the palette!  I've been using it every day since I got it last week. My only complaint is that the gold side of Oz isn't as pigmented as the silver. I justified this purchase by telling myself I don't have any of the colors. Yeah right. But lets be honest with ourselves it's fun to treat yourself once and a while. I ordered myself a three pan Inglot palette as well. I hope it arrives soon. I'm really itching to use the bright purples and intense green I picked out. Do you guys want swatches of the Glinda palette? I didn't swatch the shadows yet because all the other gurus got theirs in like March or something. Anyway I hope to see ya'll soon! Have a good day!

Drenched in Otherworldly Charm-FOTD and OOTD (June 20, 2013)

 

Maxi Dress-Torrid (Pretty sure it's on sale right now!) Shirt-Target Sandals-K-mart 

Oh my God, a dark lip? I know right? Not something I usually go for but I figured the look needed an extra lil something something. I really like the whole shirt tied under the boobs look lately. I wear this shirt like that with a lot of my sleeveless dresses. It makes a dress look sassy while covering my arms up. 

What I used:

Eyes-

Wet n Wild Primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige 

Wet n Wild I heart mattes palette dark reddish brown (Used to cover half of the lid leaving space on the lid for another shade.)

Darling Girl cosmetics eyeshadow in Otherworldly(Used in the crease and the empty half of the lid.)

Random matte white (To highlight the inner corner of the lid yo.)

Random matte ivory (They're both probably from the I heart mattes palette I think... used to highlight the brow.) 

liner of course 

mascara 

lips-

Random deep wine lipliner from dollar store

Illamasqua lipstick in Drench (Though a lighter red the wine color deepened the shade nicely.)

Clinque Lip thingie in Black Honey (Added gloss and used to darken the shade further.) 

I made Shaun take pictures of me this time, that's why my hand is all fuzzy in the last picture. I think I need a tripod! (Oh and a cleaner space to use as a back drop.) 

Lunar Bunny-fotd (June 19,2013)

There's no doubt that I love Sailor Moon, so the other day I thought I'd try some tiny buns in my hair and do a pretty duo-chrome look with my new L'oreal eyeshadows. The buns turned out kind of crooked but the eyeshadow looked nice.

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Primer (This has become my new favorite primer. It's almost exactly like TFSI.)
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool (Used on the inner corner and the brow bone to highlight.)
Milani Shadow Eyez pencil in Royal Purple (Used strictly on the lid without apply to the inner lid.)
L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Strawberry Blonde (Used all over up into the inner corner where the purple isn't and along the lower lid to the middle of the eye.)
L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow in With a Twist (Patted onto the purple base with a tiny brush.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Freakshow (Used in the crease in an almost cut crease shape to define the whole look. The shadow is kind of sheer but it's suppose to be a dark purple.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sellout (To highlight zee look.)
Sephora old ass pencil in some random aqua-grey shade (Applied to lower lid to meet the strawberry blonde in the middle.)
Fyrinnae eyeshadow in Futuristic Glamrock (Applied to lower lid to add sparkle to the liner. Love this eyeshadow sooooo much!)
white eyeliner
Winged liner of course
Some mascara

lips-
Maybelline Color Whisper in I Crave Coral

I hope you can see the shape of the look with these pics. I'm still kind of rusty at taking selfies with a camera. They always come out wonky or really close to my face, like HELLO PORES HOW ARE YOU?

Milk Maid Braids and Navy Brigads-fotd and ootd (June 14, 2013)

Dress and belt: Torrid Shoes:Target Earrings: Forever 21

When I saw this dress at Torrid I rushed into the dressing room to try it on. It draped across my hills and valleys in the most flattering way. The lush navy color complemented my fair skin without making me look like a walking corpse. Plus there is nothing like lace to make you feel like a lady. I paired it with my favorite spiky earrings and the perfect pair of studded pointed flats that matched the belt wonderfully.

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Biege
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Witch and Famous (Discontinued sadly but used in the crease.)
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Evil Empire (Patted on the lid with a damp brush.)
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Taupe ala Mode (Used to smoke out the outer corner and add some sparkles!)
Random ivory (Used to highlight.)
Eyeliner of course
Mascara

lips-
Darling Girl Kiss Off Color Rich Lip Balm in Love is an Act (From the Hunger Games collection also discontinued. ):)

This time last year I had maybe one or two dresses with only a little bit of confidence. Looking through plus sized fashion blogs have helped me gain a sense of fashion as well as some confidence in myself. I've been dressing much nicer lately, in fact I haven't worn a tee-shirt in weeks! (Except for my Star Trek Voyager shirt because hello Janeway is awesome.)

Baby Bat Goes Off the Deep End-FOTD and OOTD (June 4, 2013)

In the past my curvy frame has kept me from exploring fashion but now that the world of plus size fashion has expanded so has my closet. This shirt is one of my favorites, flowy and goth-esque, I feel tough yet cute when I wear it. It looks perfect with a pair of skinny jeans but even better with a bandage skirt. The weather was really hot last week but this week it's turned to a cool sixty degrees, thus the tights. I usually wear a subtler eye when I wear such a heavy print though polymorph by femme fatale was just calling to me.

What I wore:

Top and cami: Dots
Skirt,tights, second earrings and ring: Forever 21
Boots and angel earrings: Target

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo Barely Biege and Blue Paradise
Femme Fatale cosmetics eyeshadow in Polymorph (Patted on zee lid.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Deep End(Placed into the crease with a small brush then blended with a fluffy one.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sellout (Used to highlight all over.)
Physicians Formula Eyeliner pen
Nyx glide on pencil in White
Mascara

Lips-
Etude Lipstick in Idk but this lippie is awesome God I wish I knew the shade

Please excuse my terrible posing! I'm sure I look like a sullen teen whose camera turned on by it's self, I am totally not a model.

Woodland Spirit Dressed in Lavender- FOTD (May 23, 2013)

What? Two posts back to back? Crazy talk! I know right? It's like I'm regularly posting again or something. I decided to try an odd color combo of brown and purple. I really liked how it turned out.
