The Host of Bastet-fotd

Today I was going slightly stir crazy from boredom. I've only been at home or at school for the past few days because of my illness. Somedays I'll have the strength to go to school, other days I'll only be able to lay in bed. Today was one of the lay in bed days so I decided to slap on some make-up. I followed the theme for this weeks Never to Much Sparkle make-up showcase. Never to Much Sparkle is a new Facebook group invented by Wendi the Makeup Zombie. If you like her work you will love the group! The theme this week was Punk Rock n Roll. I admit my look is not as punk as I wanted it. It's way more classic rock then punk since that's what I was listening to while I did it. I can't wait to see what the next theme is!

What I used:

Eyes-

Thank you guys for reading! You should also check out the awesome guest post Jessie of NotaMakeupSnob did for Wendy of TurtleBeauty. The look is gorgeous! You need to follow both blogs because these ladies are fantastic. You should also check out the Make-up Heroe's youtube channel since we have a few new videos up. We've worked hard on our channel and I hope it shows. Sorry for all the links, since I've been in bed most of the day I've been able to catch up on my blog reading. I wanted to include all the ones I really loved this week. I'm feeling much better and soon I will be at in tip top condition for blogging.

Love you guys!

Equinox Sorceress-Experiment

Usually I am absolutely shart at applying black eyeshadows. They make me nervous because I can't seem to blend them as well as I like. I've never done a fully black eye but I did want to experiment a bit to see if I can ever pull off a dark lid color. I admit I stole this idea from the lovely Wendi of Make-up Zombie. I loved her most recent look where she used a black base with dark eyeshadows on the lid. It looked so pretty on her that I just had to copy it!

What I used:

Eyes-

Fyrinnae P.E.

Fyrinnae e/s in Darling Misfits (A beautiful pink with teal sparkles applied in the crease.)

Oh! I have to tell you guys! While out with my friend I discovered a few eyeshadow palettes from the Wet n Wild Dreamweaver collection. I've been looking for this collection since July so I was surprised when I discovered three palettes. Happily two of the three were doubles! That means a giveaway will be coming up soon! I also discovered a 2010 Holiday palette tucked behind sale items. I was so shocked. I thought they had all been snatched up. So I tossed that in my basket and hummed happily to the cash register. I shall be posting swatches of the Dreamweaver palettes soon!

Red, White and Blue...wait where's the white?-fotd

Happy Independence Day fellow Americans! I hope you're enjoying the fireworks.

Excuse the eerie white eyed close lipped smile. I have no idea what I was thinking. Today I used the sample of Illamasqua's new Skin Base Foundation that I won in their giveaway. I'd written that I wanted the white shade by accident instead of the pinky-fair shade. However the white actually worked on my skin and blended in fairly well. If I had wanted the white color of the foundation to actually stick out I would have used a white powder along with it. I'm really surprised at how well it blended into my skin. I look a lot paler but I love the way it looks. I may buy the shade that actually matches my skin tone someday but I'm a little broke right now haha.

What I used:

Face-

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in O1

Estee Lauder Tender Tone Blush in Rose Petal

Eyes-

TFSI

Emma Frost-X-men Fotd

Emma Frost is a bad ass. When the X-men first met Emma she was known as the White Queen in the baddy group called the Hellfire Club. She's a very selfish, haughty young woman whose powers reflect her icy nature. She can turn into a diamond and use her telecentic powers to make your boyfriend cheat on you. (Bad Scott Summers! BAD!) She is defiantly the favorite bad girl of the Marvel universe. That's why I decided to do this cool toned pin-up look. Emma doesn't need dramatic make-up to catch the guys. Her cool attitude and mental fuckery makes them wanting more.

What I used:

Face-

L'oreal True Match Concealer

Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer

Estee Lauder Bronzer in Bronze Goddess

What do you think? Did I do a good job representing Miss Frost? I'm thinking I may do Dazzler or Jubilee next, Polaris too. I'm sorry I'm so behind on reply to comments. I want to thank you all for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me. Once I'm able to afford it I'll have a giveaway to thank all of you.

Betazoid-fotd

I love the awesomeness that is Star Trek the Next Generation. You might be shocked to know that I have ever seen it. I'm a huge science fiction fan but for some reason I stayed away from Star Trek until recently. I won't lie to you, I was very into Star Wars as a child/tween. I wrote terrible terrible fan fictions where I became a Jedi. I couldn't stomach Star Trek because it moved to slowly for me. There was to much diplomacy, to much filler. Now that I'm older I've come to enjoy the story line and the mythos behind the legendary Star Trek. One of my favorite characters on the show is Deena Troy, the half Betazoid empath. Her make-up is really well done. It's almost Arabic in nature with a small cut crease. I applied it a bit heavier on myself but I do think my look is very similar to the make-up she wears in the show. I even tried to shoop the second picture to give the look a bit more of a betazoid feel. (Betazoids have black eyes.)

What I Used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Nyx Jumo e/s pencil in Milk (Used as a base and also on the waterline.)

Nyx e/s in Sahara (Medium matte brown used on the lid except for the inner half.Also used in the middle of the lower lash line.)

Nyx e/s in Chocolate (Dark matte brown used on the very outer half of the lid and blended.)

Wet n Wild Palette in Vanity e/s (Tan matte used over the Sahara on the lid and on the lower lash line.)

Wet n Wild palette in Vanity e/s (Cream color matte used on the inner half of the lid. Also used to highlight the inner corner and brow bone)

Wet n Wild palette in Vanity e/s (Red brown matte used to cut the crease.)

Wet n Wild eyeliner in Brown (Used to line the upper lash line.)

Nyx e/s in Coffee (Used wet over the eyeliner.)

Mascara (Applied on upper and lower lashes with loads and loads of layers.)

Lips-

Estee Lauder Doublewear Lipstick in Hot Kiss

Estee Lauder Lipgloss in Rose

I had to go and dig for a bronze colored lipstick in my Mother's make-up drawers. I wish I had a lip liner to use with this because the lipstick was a bit odd when I applied it. What do you think of the look? Did I do a good job representing Deena Troy's make-up?

Brandywine-fotd/haul

It's been a crappy few weeks. A lot of you who follow me on Twitter know what's happening. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Your friendships mean everything to me. I'm not sure I would have been able to handle this tough time without your help. *Big Internet Hug*

On a lighter note my Brazen Cosmetics order came today. I knew it was going to come because Ohio was hit with a heat wave. My stuff usually comes during a weather change. My products were a bit warm from the weather but nothing seemed melty. I ordered the Mystery Grab Bag half expecting it to be full of samples. Uhm no. It had a full sized perfume, lip gloss and eyeshadow along with two samples that were given to me for free. Holy crap what a deal! I'm struggling a bit with the lip gloss though. I tried putting it on with a brush but it streaked on my top lip. (Most glosses do that though because my lips are slopped weird.)

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy

Fyrinnae e/s in Gilded Wings (Gold leaning towards bronze applied all over the lid.)

What do you think of Brazen Cosmetics? I'm thinking a review will come soon. :D (Along with swatches of course.)

p.s. The perfume Sexy in the City, smells amazing. I don't usually wear fruity perfumes but this smells juicy and delicious. I want La La Lychee too, if it smells as good as this I need it!

Rampid Indulgence-fotd

Hmm I think I'm going to do a review on Persephone Minerals next. I only have a few of the shadows but I've fallen in love with them.

Hopefully soon my BFF will give into letting me do her make-up. I drew up a face chart for her after a long discussion. We're both getting back into our gothy roots so I kind of want to do her up like the bad ass she is. Sadly she's lazy when it comes to removing make-up and whines at me when I do heavy make-up on her. I can't blame her, sometimes it takes a lot to remove some of my more dramatic looks.

What I used:

Face-

L'oreal True Match Concealer in Fair Cool

Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Opal

Evil Shades Blush in Gossamer (Cool pink with the blue/violet duo-chrome.)

I'm interested in buying more cyber locks or making my own. I'm looking at I Kick Shins which Phyrra recommended once on her blog. I was curious if you guys have any recs for sites where I can buy supplies or pre-made ones? (Or a good place to buy plus sized goth clothes would help.)

Thanks for looking!

Technicolor Dream World-Fotd

So I read this article on yahoo where a girl had her boyfriend pick her clothes out for a week. It seemed like a great idea actually. So I asked my fiance,Shaun, to pick out three colors for me to wear the next day. He picked out an eyeshadow he called a TARDIS blue, a bright green and a beautiful red. I was a little frightened at first since I didn't know how the heck I was going to wear it. I decided to try a cut crease since I hadn't done one in a while. I love the way it turned out! I kind of wish that I had left the lid all one color and used the blue to "cut the crease." I think I blended pretty badly on the lid. I'm going to ask him to do this every so often cause this was defiantly fun.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Fyrinnae P.E.

Hi-Fi cosmetics e/s in Raw Shock (Shimmery green used on the first half of the lid.)

Estee Lauder e/s in Pink Ice (Used to re-highlight under the brows and inner corner.)

Almay liquid eyeliner in black

Milani eyeliner in black

Mascara

lips-

Nyx Round lipstick in Echoe

What do you think? Do you think Shaun did a good job picking out colors? Next time I think I'll ask him to pick out a lip color and blush next time too. :D

Scarlet Scales-fotd

Yay Spring Break! I've been on break for four days and it's so nice. Thankfully I won't have to be back at school till Sunday. I have studying to do but I've been putting it off because I am silly. I can't really say I have anything interesting to blog about. I'm going to another anime convention this weekend where my best friend goes to college. I'm so excited to see her I can't wait. I'm also excited for the dealer's room at the con. I love

Secret Spring-fotd

I'm not usually one to wear white lids with a colored crease. I think it looks better on Jerry of Silhouette Scream then it does on me. But I wanted to challenge myself so I went for it. Sadly Sugarpill's poison plum does not blending on my eye. It gets really patchy depending on where I put it. I'm hoping that when Shrinkle (The owner of Sugarpill.) releases her new eye base poison plum blends over it. I'd still recommend the shadow of course, it's the perfect purple.

Eyes-

TFSI

Nyx jumbo pencil in milk (Used on the lid then blended down.)

Sugarpill poison plum (Blended onto the crease and lower lid. Blended down to soft purple color.)

Aromaleigh e/s in slyph (Matte based white with TONS of sparkles used on the lid.)

Estee Lauder e/s in pink ice (Frosty pale pink used to highlight.)

Milani eyeliner in black

Almay liquid liner in black

mascara

Wet n wild e/s palette in night elf (The red in the palette to fill in the eyebrows. :D)

Lips-

Estee lauder lipgloss in rose (Rosy pink with a gold undertone.)

It's so nice to be home and on Spring break. My fiance and I cleaned the house for my parents and cleaned our room from top to bottom. Today we're finally celebrating my birthday despite the fact that it was in December. My parents couldn't afford presents or even a birthday cake. We're also celebrating my youngest brother's birthday. He chose a rib place... it's a good thing I like salad lol. (It's the only think I'll be able to eat since I'm a vegetarian.)

I hope you guys are enjoying your weekends. I love you!
