Janeway's Fire-fotd

If you read my twitter you'd know that my fiance and I are currently watching Star Trek Voyager. Voyager has to be one of my favorite Star Trek's, it was actually the first Star Trek I had ever watched. I caught many a episode on Spike when they were showing reruns. Though I had never watched the series completely I did enjoy the smattering of episodes I watched.

I am completely in love with Captain Kathryn Janeway. Not only is she as smart as a whip but she is compassionate. Even though she and her crew are stuck in the far off Delta quadrant she still shows immense grace and poise under pressure. I just...I just freaking love her character okay? This look is based off of Janeway's drive and firey passion for her crew. I even used a similar color to her trade mark neutral red lipstick. (It goes with her Starfleet uniform!) I mean come on, how many other Starfleet Captains can say they turned a Borg into a member of their crew? Not even Picard could do that.

Femme Fatale cosmetics e/s Ignite (Burnt orange applied to the crease and lower lashline.)

Black Rose Minerals e/s in Skink (Shimmery ivory applied to the browbone.)

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy e/s in Tragic Chord (GORGEOUS gold applied on the inner corner of the eye. It's super sparkly and lovely.)

Voyager is on Netflixs right now. You can watch the whole series from start to finish without breaking any laws. Did you guys hear they are remastering Next Gen? It's coming out on blue ray soonish! That means you get to watch Wil Wheaton and his many colored sweaters in HD! Whooo!

Incase you didn't notice by the pictures my camera is back! I'm so happy, I missed it so much. Now I can do close up shots of my make-up again which with my Mother's camera looked pretty crappy. Now if you'll excuse me I have two papers I need to write, off to study-study land I go!

Chasm Fire-fotd

Imagine the grit that gets stuck under your nails. The kind you can't get out without running your teeth along the under side of your filthy finger. The grit then sticks in your teeth and you have a crunch that sticks with you as you eat through out the day. That's what Hel is like. They named the city as a joke. Zion was suppose to be heaven, a glowing city of lights. While Hel was for the damned souls that couldn't make it to heaven.

The cosmic joke was played well on my dark city. There are no neon lights here. The city is never graced by a ray of sunlight nor the warmth of nature. Nothing grows down here except phosphorescent mushrooms and lichen that lines the raw rock walls. There are buildings in the city, even sky scrapers. We call them earth touchers here. Once upon a time this moldering city sat above ground but now it's sunk so far below no one can even remember the names of the buildings.

The Neo-ites rarely come down from their glittering thrones unless they need something jacked. Jacking, in your terms, is hacking. A jacker will steal into your files, rip up the data they need and leave before you even notice your plasma block was breeched. Your head will be left churning as memories are erased, transactions are deleted or complete human links are severed from the main server. They can kill you digitally with one flick of a finger. Most of the Neo's who visit the Jacker's are business men. They're the government up there. They hold all the power now thanks to commercial capitalism.

I bet you're wondering how I know so much. Well humble reader I am one of these mystical Jacker's. I think you are imagining me to be one of your 21st century internet wizards. I assure you I have no neck beard nor do I play on 4chan discussing ponys in length with other grown men.

We are the Collective.

A group of jackers formed from the fallen elite. Most of us used to be Neo's but after the trials we were exiled here to pay for our crimes. Crimes the commercial government payed us to do. But that's why we're getting revenge.

I originally did a black lip with this but I ended up hating it. It was to much for a look that was based on an down trodden cyber city. I think I'm going to make this a trilogy of short stories. I have to start writing the next one but I find my inspiration is at it's peek in the early morning. Isn't that always the case? You can't sleep then you do something creative and everything is just fantastic haha.

She Swings on Strawberries and Dances on Leaves-fotd

It seems that Mother Nature has once again confused November for October. The day after Halloween the weather became unnaturally sunny with warm winds casting leaves all over the town. I've thrown my windows open to sit in the golden autumn sun. I wish it had been like this last week. I wanted to savor the last few days of October instead of stewing in doors. It's days like this that make me jot down crazed poems in my notebook. It's days like these that all my dogs dance with the leaves, happily barking as they tumble around. Why can't it be perpetually fall?

I'm not sure if you guys have seen it yet but Darling Girl is coming out with two new collections. One that's called Diamond Dust, that makes me think of David Bowie, and the other that is Rainbow Brite themed. GAH! I'm so excited. To tide me over until I can place an order I've been staring at Wendy's, Mandy's and Wendi's swatches. So excited! You should also check out my girl Kathy's tutorial on how to be a clown from the dreadful band ICP. It's hilarious. I'd also like to give a shout out to a new collab channel called the Outlaws of Style run by my favorite youtuber Slasherpaint. If you like us Heros you will love the Outlaws! I hope you check out all my links. These ladies and gents are really fun to read and watch. That's what's so great about blogging you get to meet so many like minded people!

Scabby Behavior-fotd (Grossness Warning.)

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday. I didn't get home till pretty late. I wore this for ten hours yesterday. I'm happy to say it stayed on amazingly well for sloppily applied zombie make-up. I even went to Steak n Shake with this on. But considering I've worn crazier make-up to that Steak n Shake the waiter just brushed it off haha.

A good friend of mine had road rash on her face a few years ago after she fell off of her bike. After I put this on I showed her and she showed me the pictures of her face after the fall. The scabby bits on my face looked just like her old wounds. She then decided to poke at my face where the make-up was applied. Man, I love Halloween.

My Halloween was fun, my friends and I watched The Exorcist which I had never seen before. I really enjoyed it even though I'm not into scary films. I suppose I prefer suspenseful horror rather then scary/gorey horror. (Even though I love special effects make-up.)

Did you guys have a fun Halloween?

Depression Awareness Month-The Make Up Heroes

October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness month (Please visit Team Pinkeye to donate and learn more.) but also Depression Awareness month. Depression awareness is very important to me because many important people in my life suffer from it. It's rather hard for me to type since I have lost two friends to suicide and nearly lost four others. Depression has shaped my life more then a disease should. My Mother suffered silently for years until my Grandmother's death drove her over the edge. She was in a deep depression for over a year until she finally got some help. She still has days where she can't get out of bed because the only thing she can do is sleep. But patience and understanding has helped my family move past the hurt.

The Make Up Heroes and I chose to do a look using green since depression is represented by a green ribbon. We hope that by doing this more and more people will become aware of depression. Depression isn't something to laugh at nor to be ignored. If you or someone you know might be suffering you should talk to them about it or seek some help. This could be the difference between life and death. The signs can be small, repeat bouts of sadness. The unwillingness to care about the things you used to love. They signs can be big to. Cutting, suicidal tendencies and substance abuse are some of the biggest symptoms. Depression does not necessarily mean you have had a difficult life or childhood. Sometimes depression shows up in the most unlikely of people including teens, new mothers and young people. Please do not hesitate to talk to someone about how you are feeling.

For more information on Depression please look here. If you are feeling lost with thoughts of suicide please call The Suicide Hotline . If you are a teen and you are having issues with any of the above symptoms please use this website to find a hotline that can apply to you. These people are always willing to listen to your problems and help you find a solution.

The most important thing for you to remember: You are not alone.

Crackle-fotd

I haven't ditched you guys I promise! I've just been very busy and then my internet was out. Bleh. My dad started a garden by the way. The lettuce has already been "harvested" and it's do freaking delicious. I have no idea what kind it is but it's so good without dressing. When we still lived with my grandparents they had a HUGE vegetable garden. My Ota grew peppers, tomatoes, green onions, corn, beans and a whole bunch of other veggies. My other Grandmother has an even bigger organic garden in Missouri. Her beets are so tasty people request them. I come from a veggie loving family haha.

Needless to say I think my "writers block" with make-up is finally over. I've decided to stop obsessing over trying to make my "wings" even. Once you stop trying to be perfect the creativity just takes over. (Snuggling with chihuahuas also helps my ~creative~ process.)

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I haven't been doing very complicated or pretty make-up these last few days. I actually wore both of these looks the other day on Friday. I ended up swimming with the green on. I realized I hadn't worn brown in a while so when I re-applied my make-up I used the vanity palette.

My internet is out for right now. Luckily my Fiance's Mother needs us to watch her house so I can use the internet there. The posts might be scattered for a while.

I hope you guys had a good weekend! I had a good one for a change. :D

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.)

(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!

Check out Black Rose Minerals!

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!
