Is This Thing On?-Random fotds/new hair

Oh hey guys! How are you?
I dyed my hair on Wednesday but because I was so busy I was unable to put a picture up until now. I just used Ion's Medium Intense Red again because I love the color so much. Since it is blonde based I noticed the red fades to this brassy orange color which is o.k. but not red. I want to find a red based hair dye but... I don't want to branch out from Ion yet.

I wore this on Saturday to make it a lazy day.

Skulls on Gilded Wings; I wore this Friday to my first big college party. I then had to half-way carry my drunken fiance across campus back to our dorms. He's not usually a drinker but he wanted to impress our next door neighbor. He ended up barfing in the bushes. *sigh*

The Purple Peacock-Experiment






I had a short story planned to go with this. It was about a cute little flapper girl who accidently finds out her seemingly nerdy fiance is in the mob. I think the story would have taken more then one blog post to go through so I decided to save it for a rainy day when I have no looks to post. This week I have a lot of stuff I need to do so I might not be doing many blog posts. I have some homework I need to catch up on and I'll be getting a tutor for one of my classes. I'm hoping to turn over a new leaf for school. I've always been an "average" student but now that I'm in college "average" doesn't really cut it. :/

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
NYX Jumbo e/s pencil in Purple (Used on the lid.)
Nyx Jumbo e/s pencil in Black Bean (Gently blended into the sharp shape from the crease.)
120 palette-
-Medium Lavender based purple (Used on the lid and inner corner of the eye.
-Dark Teal Green (Used in the crease and lower lash line.)
-Jewel Toned Dark Blue (Used on the outer corner of the crease/lid.)
-Sheer White (To Blend/highlight the above colors.)
Almay Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Milani eyeliner in black
LOADS AND LOADS OF MASCARA

lips-
Fantasy Maker Lipstick in Vampire Noir

I totally forgot how amazing Nyx jumbo pencils can be. I usually use Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy because it is awesome but these pencils are great. I'm going to be using these more often on my friends since they usually end up taking their make-up off after we take pictures.
I'm staying at Kent this weekend so expect a lot of make-up done on other people. (After I finish my studies of course.)
I have to go to bed now considering it's nearly four in the morning. O.o I hope you all have a good Monday!

Take me Out-FOTD




Today was a good day smashed with bad. My Mother and I had dinner together and shopped for books after a day of doing some chores. I was able to nab a book full of H.P. Lovecraft stories, a book on herbalism and several trashy teen novels. The Borders in my home town is closing (weeps into pillow) which means loads of books on sale. I was really sad the store was closing, since it was opened just ten years ago. Then it turned out my Father accidently messed up our car while he was fixing it. HOPEFULLY it's fixable but if it isn't the car will be a fancy if not very lovely paper weight.
Ugh.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
High Voltage e/s in November Rain (A confusing green/blue used on the lid and lower lashline)
High Voltage e/s in Date Night (A bluer navy used in the crease.)
High Voltage e/s in Totally Rad! (Blue based green used on the inner corner and above the crease color.)
Random shimmery highlight
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
milani eyeliner in black
mascara

lips-
High Voltage Lip Whip in She's Got the Look

I love you all!

Spring Mix Salad-FOTDs











The weather was so nice that we all decided to a Spring inspired make-up session. My make-up is like the fresh green shoots sprouting from the soil. Julia's look is inspired by the soft sunshine that seems to trickle down from between the trees.

This warm sample of spring isn't going to last long so I'll be out enjoying it for as long as I can.

Stiff Upper Lip-V-Day FOTD





Oops sorry this is a bit late. I had every intention of posting this but after I got into bed I feel straight to sleep. I hope you all took advantage of the sale Sugarpill had going on. I made my first ever purchase from them because of the sale. I really wanted a palette but I decided to wait until I have a job or do really well on a test to buy a palette. Brian helped me pick out Poison Plum and Goldilux since I couldn't decide on a shade. Thanks Brian you are a doll!

Now I ain't sayin she's a tree hugger-fotd




But she ain't messin with no oak oak. I hope you snickered a bit at that pun because I feel like a fool for writing it. I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a few days! I've been writing a five page essay for my English class this left little time for make-up. I have also been doing some soul searching that helped me realize that I'm a hippie. This is of course hereditary. My Father explained to me that when he was my age he was a hippie as well. He had missed the actual 60's so he made up for it by growing his hair long and smoking funny cigarettes behind the art building. My Mother wasn't a hippie but from what I gather one parent is usually the carrier of the hippie gene. XD

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae PE
Fryinnae e/s in Digital Faery (A sky blue with an amazing duo-chrome used on the ball of the lid and outer half of the lid.)

Haha sorry guys I've been working on my wit/sarcasm lately. I hope it wasn't to annoying.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Valentines Day I will probably post another look in honor of said holiday. Get lots of chocolate and kiss your lovers or pets if you are in singletown. (Or I could be your Valentine! I'm a good kisser I swear.)
Love you!

Take Me Home You Sexpot!-fotd





Ah yes the typical Valentine's Day date look. Something sweet and soft that still screams "YEAH BABY YEAH!" Like some horrible English stereotype from the 60's. I like V-day personally because I believe in one true loves, romantic soul connections, etc. I realize that most people consider it a Hallmark holiday but it certainly does feel nice to get a present on a random day. (Besides my birthday and X-mas that is.) My fiance however isn't that romantic. He likes doing surprising me with small things like maybe a nice dinner on occasions but when a holiday like this comes around he drags his feet. Thus leaving me to do much of the romancing. I don't mind this because I like giving him flowers or taking him out. He does so many nice things for me why not pay him back?

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Sobe Botanicals Stick It
Sobe Botanicals e/s in Sexpot (Soft cupcake pink used on the lid. LOVE this color!)
Sobe Botanicals e/s in Sugar Plum Fairy (Soft medium purple used in the crease.)
Wet N Wild Elf Palette (To Highlight the brow bone and inner eyelid.)
Milani eyeliner in Black
Almay Liquid Liner in Black
Curled Lashes
Mascara

lips-
High Voltage Lip Whip in She's got the look


Alright I promise I'll do an Anti-Vday look for you too. I'm thinking of a big black heart over my eye while using greens and blues on the other eye. I still have to do a facechart or a sketch of it first. Do you guys do face charts or write down the combos you want to try?
