Long Hair Don't Care-fotd (May 25,2013)

So I've been growing my hair out for two years now and it's down to below my bust. My hair has never  been this long ever. I've always had short hair even when I was a kid. So now I'm left with all this hair and no idea what to do with it. I was considering cutting it all off again but I'be grown to like it.

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely There Biege (Or something like that I don't know.)
Detrivore Eyeshadow in Vulture (Gradually built up in the crease. I love this shade!)
Fyrinnae Eyeshadow in Tapir (Patted on the lid using a damp brush to intensify the shade.)
Too Faced Eyeshadow in Coco Puffs (Used on the lower lash line to meet the upper wing.)
Wet n Wild random black and ivory Eyeshadows (The black is used at the very corner of the lower lash line to meet the upper wing while the ivory is used to highlight.)
Physicians Formula Eyeliner of awesome
Nyx glide on pencil in black
Mascara

lips-
Estee Lauder Pure Color High Gloss in Coral Chic

Hey I hope you guys have a good day!

Filth, Slime, Muck and Mildew-fotd

Thank God school is nearly over. I only have one week to go and once that week is over I'm going with my friend Cassie back to her home state of Connecticut. This semester has been a really difficult one thanks to many personal/emotional issues. I feel like I've been through the wringer and so have my grades. Next school year I'll be going to Cleveland State while living either at home or with my fiance at his new place. Hopefully next semester will be better then this one. Anyway I wore this look today after I rocked my Anthropology final. On Monday I have a German final but I still have to take a different German test. Argh so much German to study so little time. I wanted to get a post in since I suck at making them lately.

Hold Me Close-fotd

Whoo hoo! Another purple and pink cut crease kind of look. I looked back into my archive and realized I have done a lot of looks that are very similar to this one. What can I say I love purple and pink together, especially when they are nearly pastel. For the photos I used my Canon Rebel instead of my Nikon Coolpix. The Rebel is pretty big so I struggle to take self portraits because my hands are pretty small. Surprisingly the pictures turned out great today!

Greed is good, Greed is Green-fotd

Wah! Don't you hate it when your colors all blend together in photographs? I swear this was prettier in person. So, lately I've been watching a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this is a good thing since I am now on Spring break and have nothing to do for a while. I forgot how much I loved this show! I had stopped watching it mid-way through season two because I hate character deaths. Incase you didn't know Joss Whedon likes to kill off his characters, a lot. (And I am a sensitive person who cries when fictional characters die.)

Rage Against-fotd/Renee

Last Friday Renee came back from her three week trip to Okinawa Japan to visit her Marine husband. She came back armed with Japanese candy, adorable toys and loads of stories. On Tuesday she decided that she wanted me to dye her hair with an added pink streak. We dyed it a dark brown with a gold base since her natural hair color is light gold toned brown. For the pink I bleached the strip with a violet toned bleach and then mixed a bunch of different pinks together. The base was a conditioner with a dime sized dab of Special Effects Cherry Bomb, another dime sized dab of Special Effects Cupcake Pink and the rest is Manic Panic's Hot Hot Pink.

After we finished dying her hair she asked me to do her make-up like her hair. A pink and brown combo with a rocker edge. I tried to use as little black as possible even though black is a staple in most "rock star" looks. When we were done we had a mini "photo shoot" with loads of crazy poses. These pictures are my favorites because they capture who she really is, sassy, funny and silly.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Estee Lauder eyeshadow stick in Bronze (Made into a winged shape along the lid.)

Detrivore e/s in Wraith (Dark brown with copper shimmer used on the lid over the shape.)

Now I'm going to enjoy being snowed in because Ohio weather is stupid.

Abundance of Oddity-fotd

My Detrivore order came today! I bought several eyeshadow samples, the original eye primer and three perfumes. Detrivore has great eyeshadows but their primer has become a Holy Grail product for many bloggers. My first experience with it went really well. When I used the eyeshadows over top of it they blended out well while still keeping the shimmer and color in place. I think I took to long on the crease because when I patted shadow on the lid the shadow didn't stick as well as when I had first applied it. The crease color stayed until I washed it off, there wasn't any color fading at all. On the lid however it creased a bit as well as lost some color. I think I either used to much or didn't apply the shadows fast enough. I'm going to try again tomorrow by using less.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Detrivore Original eyeshadow primer

Detrivore e/s in Abnormal (A confusing black based green or is it yellow? Used in the crease and under the lower lash line.)

Detrivore e/s in Ghoul (A safari green satin used on the lid and blended upwards.)

Wet n Wild Vanity palette (Pale ivory matte, then pale shimmery ivory used to highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)

Boy oh boy, I still owe you dudes those Femme Fatale swatches and now I owe you a haul post. I am a horrible blogger, bad blogger, naughty blogger! I may need a spanking. (Wait, this is a Monty Python and The Holy Grail reference! I swear I'm not pervy!) I hope you all have a good weekend. Mine is going to be fabulous!

The Crescent Dragon-fotd

Yesterday I was looking for something that I hadn't done before. And I realized I hadn't done an eyeshadow used as liner in a while. A year or so ago I did a lot of looks like this using Aromaleigh's Lost in Faerie collection which was my favorite. So I dug through a few Aromaleigh samples I hadn't used in a while and tossed this look together. I had written a story to go along with the look but as I got into writing it I realized it was way to long to post on my blog. Once I'm done writing it I'll post it on my poetry blog for you guys to read.

What I used:

Eyes-

Aromaleigh e/s in Crescent (A shimmery haunting yellow used on the lid.)

Aromaleigh e/s in Binary (Soft, new leaf green used in the crease.)

Detrivore e/s in Harpy (A lovely pink based purple wet lined along the lash line.)

Aromaleigh e/s in Milky Way (Perfect cool cream used to highlight.)

Nyx jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk (Used on the waterline.)

Unknown brand in Fire Shine

Tomorrow my friend Natalie and I are going to pick up my best friend Heather from Bowling Green. I'm really excited to see her since it's been a few weeks. Where we live is on one side of Ohio and where her school is on the other side. We could probably drive thirty minutes longer and get to Michigan when we are in Bowling Green. So I may not be tweeting or blogging this weekend so I can spend time with my BFF's. What was the longest you went without seeing your BFF? Mine was three months, boy was that hard.

Stick With Me Kid, You'll Go Far-fotd

"Stick with me kid I'll make you the bees knees, the Cats pajamas! Every man in town will be bending to your will as you shimmy into town."

Today I jumped into the car to grab some lunch with my fiance and brother, once I was settled my brother tossed me a box. I thought it was my Darling Girl order but that didn't make much sense to me since it was just shipped yesterday from Texas. I opened it and to my surprise two perfect lip sticks were waiting inside. Kathy EFFIN' Jacobs had sent me ANOTHER gift! This time I didn't cry but I did give a shriek of happiness. When I swatched the lipsticks on my hand my brother looked back in amazement. "Dude, that's orange as balls." He said excited for me. YES! My first orange lipstick! Along with Bee's Knees (the orange) Kathy had sent me Totally Tubular which is a dupe of Mac's Candy Yum Yum. (A lipstick I have been lusting after for MONTHS.) Thank you Kathy, you give the best just because gifts. I really have to find a way to repay you for you're awesomeness.

I actually tried a look nearly identical to this look yesterday, except I didn't use eyeliner on my top lash. I really liked how it turned out the first time so I did it again after Wendy suggest a brown cut crease. This is kind of a cut crease, it's very subtle and blended. I'm going to be trying this look with a few different colors tomorrow afternoon. :)

Just a Simple Tailor and Cardassian Spy-fotd

Ah the Cardassians, blood thirsty for power, blind to other peoples blight and lovers of fish coffee. The Cardassians remind me of the oily politician of the universe. You can see that they want to help you but something just seems off. Their smile doesn't reach their eyes and their phaser gun is certainly not set to stun. The Cardassians appear to have evolved from some sort of crab which could be why they have scales around their eyes, neck and down their backs. The "spoon" shape in the middle of their forehead that was put into their planet's crest.

They prefer hot, dark places like caves with hot springs. On their home world they have a series of spas that would be to hot for other humanoids. Their government was very powerful until the terroristic fights between their people and the the planet they occupied for fifty years called Bajior. The Bajiorians fought bitterly against the Cardassians while their planets resources were sucked dry. It wasn't until after the Federation became involved that they began to peace talks. Even those were hard thanks to many left over Bajorn terrorist cells and even group of ex-officers from Starfleet called the Marqui.

I chose the grays, whites and blacks to represent their skin. The cut-crease is suppose to emulate their sunken in eyes and heavy lids. I tried smirking in the pictures but my Cardassian smirk is no where near as good as my Klingon rage face.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Nyx jumbo e/s pencil in Milk (Used as base and to line the waterline.)

Detrivore cosmetics e/s in Golgotha (A soft light gray used on the lid.)

Nyx e/s in Black (Used on the lower crease to create shape. Also used along the lower part of the lower lid to create shape.)

Sugarpill e/s in Tako (Used to highlight the inner corner of the lid, the brow bone, along the lower lash line and overtop the line between the crease and lower lash line.)

Almay Liquid eyeliner in black (Small black line to give the eye some definition.)

Nyx Round Lipstick in Rae

I was planning this look in class. It was between taking notes I swear! I also drew out the Vulcan eye but I need to learn to cover my brows better for that look!

Upside Down Smokey-Fotd/Make-up Heros

Recently the Make-up Heroes decided to reproduce Marlena of Make-up Geek fame recent look the upside down smokey eye. It was a straight forward look that we all thought was pretty and could be emulated then tweaked to fit our own eye shape. I stupidly forgot to mention in the video anything about eye shapes. Derp on my part! As you can tell my eye shape is a bit of a rounded almond. The edges of my lower lash line point upwards so making the smoked out lower lash line into a nearly cat eye made my eyes appear wider and sexier. I did deepen the crease a bit because my crease is not as defined as Marlena's I like having definition so my eyes don't look to flat. I think the next time I try this look I will use teal, I bet it'd look fantastic.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Wet n Wild Vanity Palette (The ivory used on the whole lid. The sandy tan used to contour the crease. Plus the shimmery ivory dotted onto the inner corner of the lid.)

Wet n Wild cream eyeliner in black

Mascara

lips-

Nyx Round lipstick in Peach (Not a peachy color at all. More so a pretty berry color.)

I wore this to school since I was running a bit late for class. I was compliment by the girl sitting next to me who usually sees me bare faced. My fiance even liked it, he always surprised when I wear easy/neutral looks. I guess he's used to my colors hee-hee.

Today is a Good Day to Die-Fotd

"Human females are so unattractive."

Oh man I love Klingons. They're strong, honorable and have great operas. Worf is one of my favorite characters from Next Generation. They're so strong they killed their own Gods. In the original Star Trek the Klingons were shown with heavily drawn on eyebrows and thickly bronzed faces. The tenseness between the Federation and the Klingons was suppose to represent the Cold War between America and Russia. In the movies and later shows the Klingons were changed to echo the Samuari. (This explains the strict honor system and the armor.)

What I used:

Detrivore cosmetics e/s in Resistance (Deep copper brown used on the main lid and lower lid.)

I really want to do the borg next but I have to figure out how to fashion an electronic eye piece. To bad we don't have any random laser bits laying around. To bad I can't bring borg-fieceness like Seven of Nine can. Bah.

Detrivore Haul + First Impressions

(From left to right Harpy, Mildew,Kraken,lifeless,golgotha*pictured in the first one but not the second one*, Resistance, Ashes, and Treason. )

I've been wanting to place an order with Detrivore since I first heard of them a few years ago. I'm not sure what was holding me back from ordering considering I really like the products. I order a few satin eyeshadows and a few from the regular collection. Jessi's swatches helped me pick out a few colors like Harpy and Kraken. Next time I place an order I'm getting more browns as well as a Death Valley.

The texture of the shadows remind me of Fyrinnae. A little "dry" with a good slip to them when they hit primer. I'd like to see the shadows in action with the Detrivore primer because I heard it's pretty rad. The colors look plain in the bag but applied over just a primer they are a lot more complex swatches/applied. My favorite shadows are Kraken and Resistance, you'd think it'd be Harpy but lately browns have been grabbing my attention more.

I'm defiantly going to place another order soon. I want to try the blush,the primer and the primer. The swatches of the blushes look beautiful.

You can buy these wonderful shadows here at Detrivore Cosmetics.

Resistance is Futile-fotd

Ah the Borg, how scary those mother effers are. The fiance and I are still watching Star Trek Next Gen we just haven't been watching it every day. I miss it a lot actually. We're nearly done with the last season which means we'll be starting Deep Space Nine next.

In more nerdy news my fiance has picked up playing Yugi-oh cards. I laughed my ass off when he told me he wanted to play. It would appear as though he's going through his second child hood. Er...teen hood?
