Decadence A BLIX inspired look + Edited to add in pictures of my furry children










I was looking through Glitter is my Crack which is Blix's blog and she had this gorgeous copper and purple look up that reminded me of a painting. The colors were from Aromaleigh but since I don't have those colors I used Hi-Fi eyeshadows that were similar shades to the ones she used. I really like how this look turned out. It's so much deeper than the pictures make it seem. I love how this turned out the colors look so pretty together. It's not my usual bright plus bright equals awesome type of look but seriously jewel tones are my new friends. This post was originally going to be longer but blogger decided to eat half of the words I had written. So yes...

edit: I added puppy and kitty pictures for ya'll since a few of you asked for puppy pictures and I couldn't forget my other child. My cat Freya!

What I used:
Face-
Neutrogena Concealer
Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Quartz
Nyx Blush in Mocha

Eyes-
Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Hi-Fi eyeshadow in Dirty ( A sexy bronze/coppery color used on the lid with a small flat shader brush.)
Hi-Fi eyeshadow in Aphrodisiac ( A plum with gold sparkles used on the crease with a pointed blending brush.)
Hi-Fi eyeshadow in Pixies ( To create the flash of lavender BLIX has on her crease I dabbed this on the middle of crease and blended it out.)
Hi-Fi eyeshadow in Let it snow ( My favorite highlight color.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero ( Upper lash line.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in 1999 ( Lower lash line and waterline.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in Onyx
Colossal Lash mascara

Lips-
Nyx Roundlipstick in Peach ( Later blotted out to make it look more like a berry stain.)

Chihauhaus are very cuddly by the way. My baby is a wee blonde chihuahua that is the best snuggler there is. Yesterday I saw some people I knew from high school we were catching up so I said " Oh let me show you my daughter! She's so adorable." I pulled out my phone and showed them pictures of Abby. Haha they were a bit confused but laughed none the less. The reason I bring this up is because I was cuddling her right as I was writing this. This section was pointless to write haha.
I hope you are all having a good day!
Love, peace and oh what a long day.

Strawberry Grape Bubble Gum




Oh yes I'm on a role. I've missed using make-up this past week. I used all Hi-Fi because I've really grown to love the eyeshadow. It applies so creamy I just have to swipe my brush once to have full coverage color. I used my favorite colors from Hi-Fi cosmetics for this look, it turned out really well. Though I wish I had a medium pink to blend with the Live Large and Pins and Needles better. I felt like the colors weren't gradient enough so they look a little blocky when the lid is closer.
I also went went for a berry lip color instead of my usual pink.I love this color I have no idea why I don't wear it more.
In other news I love the new Doctor. I was so scared I wasn't going to like him but seriously Matt Smith is amazing. I also love his companion Amy Pond. She is similar to Donna but has a better attitude. ( Donna is my favorite companion so I am in no way dissing her amazingness.)

What I used:

Face-
Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Concealer Kit
Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Quartz
Nyx Blush in Mocha

Eyes-
Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance
Fyrinnae pixie Epoxy
Hi-Fi cosmetics eyeshadow in Pinks and Needles ( A bright but soft pink on the inner corner of the lid.)
Hi-Fi Cosmetics eyeshadow in Live Large ( A bright pink based purple used on the rest of the lid.)
Hi-Fi Cosmetics eyeshadow in Things that Cannot Speak ( A dark magenta used on the crease and used on the lower lash line.)
Hi-Fi Cosmetics eyeshadow in Let it Snow ( The perfect highlighter of of white, purple and blue.)
Nyx Pen Eyeliner in Extreme Black
Colossal Lash Mascara
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero

Lips-
Nyx Lipstick in Peach

What do you think? What are your favorite products or eyeshadow colors from Hi-Fi Cosmetics? I really think anyone who loves color will love these products. :3

Love, peace and ZOMG KICK ASS IS COMING OUT TODAY. I WANT TO SEE IT SO BADLY.

Where in the world is Pixie




Er... actually I've been sick and dealing with a lot of emotional stuff. It's been a rough two weeks. Sorry for the lack of make-up but with all the crying and rushing around I haven't been wearing much. Thankfully all the crap is over so now I can focus on school. :D
I picked these colors because coral/ peach and teal/aqua are really hot right now. They're very summery I love them together. Phyrra did a similar look using a peachy color with a teal underneath her eye. It was really hot so yay for coping!

Almay Liquid Eyeliner in Onyx
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in flipside ( On the waterline.)
Maybelline Colossal Lash Mascara

Lips-
Fyrinnae Lip Luster Lace Gloves

Hmm I'm a bit concerned about my lip luster. It smells a bit off but I only got it in October. Lip stuff doesn't go off that fast does it? I'm sad that it's being weird since it's one of my favorite lip lusters.

Mireille Eats Pins and Needles





Hello everyone!! I went Melonhead hunting last night. If you don't know what a Melonhead is you obviously don't live in NorthEast Ohio. There is this legend about a man who experimented on children to increase the size of their heads. Tired of being tortured by the psycho Doctor the children burned down the lab, murdered their captor and escaped into the Kirtland forest. They became feral from the harsh Ohio winters and scare food. Some say they even eat flesh. In the middle of the night driving on the moon light hills it's probably the scariest story you'll ever here.
We all scared our selves shit less. Oh boy I nearly cried when one of my friends screamed about something following the car. I also saw some pin pricks of light looking from up high on one of the trees. I'm hoping it was only an owl. *shudders* Ohio is full of Urban Legends like this one. I'd love to explore every one. X3

What I used for this Look:

Face-
Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Concealer kit
Nyx Blush in Mocha

Eyes-
Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Aromaleigh Eyeshadow in Mireille ( A bright cool pink based purple used with a flat brush on the lid.)
Hi-Fi Eyeshadow in Pins and Needles ( A bright pink placed in the crease with a small brush than blended outwards.)
Aromaleigh Eyeshadow in Slyph ( A matte white based eyeshadow with loads of sparkles used as the highlight.)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
Almay Liquid eyeliner in Onyx
Maybelline Colossal Lash Mascara

Lips-
Morgana Minerals Lipstick in Blue Azalea ( A bright pink with a blue sheen, applied softly and blended over lips to make sheer.)

:D I want to hear your creepy stories please! Whether or not it has to do with Urban Legends anything creepy will do. Please and thank you~!

Atomic Waste FOTD inspired by FrescoPhyrra





Miss Phyrra of FrescoPhyrra has been my inspiration for two years know. I found her blog in 2008 which I'm glad to say changed my life. If it wasn't for her I would never have found Fyrinnae, Aromaleigh, Hi-Fi cosmetics and many other Indie brands that I've grown to love. Her blog taught me how to experiment with color, line my upper lid properly and broaden my make-up knowledge. For this I owe her a debt that cannot be expressed through words. Maybe emoticoms with cover it... X3 X3 X3 X3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A few days ago ( maybe a week I'm unsure.) Phyrra used a bright green and teal together from Concrete Minerals. I feel in love with the combo and couldn't wait to try it. I didn't use any of the same products she did but I did use very similar colors. I seriously love this look. It's very bright and stands out behind my glasses. Yaaaay!

I bought two yuzu flavored lip balms, a few shadows from the en pointe collection, a shadow from the Rocks! collection, a beautiful shadow from the bette noir collection and You're a doll!

Oh Danny Boy- FOTD




\
I don't have that many greens which put me in a great deal of a panic. It seems however that the fairies of Saint Patrick's Day didn't want me to get pinched, when I woke up this morning I found a green eyeliner I thought I'd lost months ago. Hahaha I'm convinced we have Brownies. Most Irish households do. :D I know I have black hair but that's because my family is Black Irish. The Black Irish are the descendants of French or Italian tribes that moved to Ireland sometime in the early B.C.s. I don't really have the date but that's all that was explained to me to begin with. *grins*

The look:

Face + Brows-
Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Kit
Nyx Blush in Mocha ( Along the cheek bones.)
Jordana Eyeliner Pencil in Brown

Eyes-
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk ( Just on the corner of the eye.)
Nyx Eyeshadow in Chick ( Over the milk in the corner of the eye. This eyeshadow is a bright yellow color.)

Hi-Fi Universe of Fear ( A dark forest green applied on the outer corner of the crease and blended inwards.)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner pencil in Zero ( On the upper lash line.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in Onyx ( Applied in a cat eye shape up wards.)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Mildew ( A gold/green applied in the lower water line.)
Hot Topic Neon Green Eyeliner Pencil ( Applied on the lower lash line made into a second line all the way meeting the upper black line.)

YAY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here Comes the Sun FOTD





The sun is out again after doing a two day disappearing act. I thought for sure winter was coming back. It's happened here in Ohio, one day it will be warm enough for shorts then the next day we have a blizzard. Thankfully it was just the normal spring weather aka lots of rain. I thought I'd celebrate the suns return by doing a bright pink Aromaleigh look. I have three Aromaleigh pinks Strawberry Despair, Boiling Point and Raspberry Beret, I don't care much for Raspberry Beret but I don't want to trade it or give it away since I've used a lot of it. I feel like I'd be cheating some one. So instead when I do extreme looks on other people I use it on those whose skin tone is a little darker than mine. :D Last Halloween infact I used it on my guy friend Aaron who was the tooth fairy. He couldn't get the glitter off for a week. Hee hee.
Yesterday I placed my first Aromaleigh order in about two years. I know such a long time but I wasn't really digging their formula at first. When Fyrinnae came out with Pixie Epoxy I tried some of my Aromaleigh shadows with it and I fell in love again. It goes to show that you have to have the right base for you when it comes to eyeshadows. I can't wait for my shadows to come. *grins*

What I used:

Face + Eyebrows-
Hard Candy Concealer Palette
Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Opal ( Discontinued)
Nyx Blush in Pinky ( Applied on the apples of the cheeks and blended upwards to cheek bones.)
Jordana Eyeliner Pencil in Brown ( A soft taupe brown used to fill in bare spots on eyebrows.)

Eyes-
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Aromaleigh Gothic Lolita Eyeshadow in Strawberry Despair ( A strawberry pink with gold flecks applied on the lid and crease.)
Hi-Fi Millions on Peaches ( A peach with bright flecks of gold in it used to highlight the strawberry despair.)
Hi-Fi Let it Snow ( A sheer white duo chrome with purple, gold, and blue as a highlight color.)
Nyx Felt Tip Eyeliner Pen in Extreme Black
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner pencil in Zero
Maybelline Colossal Last Mascara

Lips-
Chapstick
Nyx Round Lipstick in Thailia

My Cat Freya and wee Chihuahua Abby have been playing in the sun shine all day. Abby was so frisky she dug up part of my moms garden. I swear she thinks she's a mole instead of a dog. Aw I love my critters. X3
Love, peace and little blonde dogs

Pixies on the Edge of Life FOTD





I went to the Cleveland Asian Market today. It's one of my favorite things to do since there is not much to do up here in North East Ohio. We came back with loads of food and drink some Japanese, some Chinese and a few of bits of Korean. When I go down to Columbus I usually eat all Asian food. I've become rather addicted to California rolls as well as miso soup. Mmm. Someday I hope to go to Japan. *sighs dreamily *
