Bouncy Ball of Celestial Intent-fotd (4/3/12)

Oh God how did a month already pass without me updating? Bad Helen! To be fair this is the fanciest my make-up has gotten in a while.
I haven't been buying much make-up lately since I've been focusing more on clothes. I was getting tired of only wearing tee-shirts so I revamped my wardrobe. Now it's full of dresses, cute blouses and skirts! Last year around this time I would have laughed in your face if you had suggested I wear any color other then black. Why am I rambling about this? Well, more clothes equal outfits of the day! I don't know about you but I freaking love reading fashion blogs. There's just something about those fashionistas that has me obsessed. (P.s. I'm loving this grunge revival. 90's clothes are da bomb.)

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n wild primer
Maybelline color tattoo in Barely Branded and the white one which I am to lazy to check right now
Urban Decay e/s in Deep End (Sparkly medium teal swept lightly through the crease.)
Tarte e/s in Hampton's Waves (A matte dark mermaid teal blended onto the crease line.)
Sugarpill e/s in Mochi (Brilliant matte mint patted on the lid.)
Tarte e/s in Iceland Air (Sparkly frost white patted on the inner corner of the lid.)
Tarte e/s in Seychelles Sand (Matte grey-biege used as a transition color between the brow and crease.)
Tarte e/s Georgia Peach (Matte light peach used to highlight.)
Urban Decay Glide on shadow pencils in Clash (Bright aqua blue with silver reflects used as a base.)
Sugarpill e/s in Velocity (Matte yet intense royal blue patted on the outer corner of the lower lid.)
Tarte Mystic Seaport (Silvery-blue patted over the Clash to set.)
Nyx glide on pencil in white (My new favorite thing. I use this every day for every look.)
Mascara (Tons and tons.)
Physicians formula liquid eye liner pen (This liner pen is magic. Like it was made by angels, cute angels in trench coats...)

lips-
Clinique lipstick in Black Honey (Flattering natural plum used on inner pout.Given to me by the effervescent Kathy.)
Darling Girl lipstick in Demure (Fawn pink used to neutralize and add pink.)

What do you think? Any recent fashion trends you've been digging lately?

Bitter Frost-fotd

I haven't worn blue in a while which surprises me since I love blue. I used to hate it when I was younger. The only blue eyeshadow I could find were the frosty baby blue that girls would apply all the way up to the brow bone. One of my Mom's friends would wear this look daily with thick black eyeliner and spidery lashes. It wasn't till I started getting into beauty blogging that I grew to love blue eyeshadow. What's your opinion on blue eyeshadow? Do you love it or hate it?

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Sobe Botanicals Stick it

Fyrinnae e/s Sleepy Hollow (Ocean blue w/ gold used on the inner corner of the lid.)

Persephone minerals e/s in Escort (Hooker blue/nearly violet used on the rest of the lid and lower lash line.)

High Voltage e/s in Frostbite (Frosty medium blue used in the crease.)

Wet n Wild eyeshadow in Brulee (Matte ivory used to highlight.)

Estee Lauder e/s in Pink Ice (Used on the inner corner of the lid and by the eyebrow.)

H.I.P. Chrome eyeliner in Violet (Used on the lower waterline.)

Almay liquid eyeliner in black

Milani eyeliner in black

Mascara

lips-

Fyrinnae Lip Luster in Lollypop-pop

Sorry I don't have much to blog about today! Maybe tomorrow I will. ;)

Ravenclaw-Fotd

Ravenclaws are the smarty pants of Hogwarts. Smart, loyal and honest these folks make amazing friends. I wouldn't have made it through high school if it weren't for my Ravenclaws. I think Ravenclaws are people to look up too. Gryffindors can be a bit reckless, Hufflepuff's can be a bit too nice and Slytherin's are just to bad ass to have a following. I seriously love this look and wish I had a better full sized picture of it. For some reason the amazing sparkles won't show up on my late 90's digital camera. D:

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in Secrets & Lies ( Bright royal blue used on the crease.)
High Voltage e/s in Tombstone (Silvery grey used higher above the crease near the brow bone.)
High Voltage e/s in Sugar High (Navyish blue medium blue awesome color used on the lid.)
Estee Lauder e/s in Shimmery White (Used on the brow bone and on the corner of the eye lid.)
Sally Girl e/s in Silvery Dark Grey (Put under the lower lash line.)
NYC Liquid eyeliner in Black
Milani eyeliner in Black
Mascara

Lips-
NYX Round Lipstick in Thalia
I would have used Morgana Cryptoria's Shrieking Violet buuut I left it at my dorm. D: Seriously though if you try this look DO PURPLE LIPS. It will add a certain "smart art student" quality to the look.

Stay tuned for a Hufflepuff (the last look of this series) and a hair update post. :3

Storm on the Seas-fotd

My second look with High Voltage and I like the products. I think that you should use a creamier base like NYX jumbo pencil or High Voltage Base with my pixie epoxy they applied a little patchy ( that and I used a smaller brush then I usually do.) So I tried the nyx pencil under my eye and the shadows were brighter as well as blended better.
I really trying to keep my mind on other things so I don't freak out from school. My fiance has been very supportive but keeps telling me how much he's going to miss me. It's literally killing me to leave him behind. My best friend just asked me to transfer to her school. Kent and Bowling Green are similar in many ways but BG is all the way in Toledo where Kent is only an hour away. I can't lie and say I haven't been considering it but I dunno there has to be more then one reason to leave a school. *huffs*

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
High Voltage e/s in November Rain ( Used on the inner corner of the lid.)
High Voltage e/s in Wild Night (Bright blue used all over the lid and slightly covering above shadow.)
High Voltage e/s in Date Night (What I thought was a navy is really more of a dark/black teal used in the crease.)
Nyx Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk
Milani e/l in black
NYC liquid liner
Mascara

lips-
Nyx Round Lipstick in Circe

Thank you for all your support and advice ladies. It means a lot to me. *group hug*
