Strawberry Blonde and purple tipped-fotd (5/9/2013)

My last finale is Friday so I treated myself to some new make-up.  This school year has been a roller coaster of ups and downs I'm so glad it's over. I bought myself one of the shadows from the new Spring L'oreal collection and a   I'm really digging this new L'oreal eyeshadow, it reminds me of the pink in Urban Decay's Glinda palette. It looks really pretty if you pair it with a nice chocolate brown in the crease if you are more of a neutral eyeshadow lover. If you have difficulty using the cream/powder weird blend of shadow I recommend wetting your brush a bit it helps to intensify the color without patchiness.

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Fergie Collection Primer
Maybelline Color Tatto in Seashore Frost (Magical duochrome-y goodness used all over the eye.)
Milani Shadow Eyez shadow stick in Royal Purple (Swiped on the lid then blended with brush on the lid.)
L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Strawberry Blonde (Duo-chromey goodness of pink and lavender used on the inner half of the lid as well.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Fishnet (Blended onto half the lid and the outer v.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sellout (Perfect ivory with a small amount of shimmer used as the brow highlight.)
Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Petal Pusher (Red violet shadow used in the crease, then light lavender shade blended over top with an added pop of the light shimmery pink to highlight the inner corner.)
L'oreal HIP Chrome eyeliner in violet (Used to line the upper and lower lid.)
Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Petal Pusher (Shimmery deep purple used over the liner to deepen the color.)
Physicians Formula eyeliner pen (Used to lightly liner upper lash line and add a simple wing.)
Mascara of course.

lips-
Nyx Round Lipstick in Circe
Wet n Wild lipstick in Taj-mauve-hal placed in the inner of the lips to add pinkness.)

I love this look it's so glowy and simple to do. I may have to treat myself again and buy more of the L'oreal shadows. I hope you all did well on your finals and if you are all ready graduated college then I envy you.

Dark Side of the Rainbow-fotd

I found an editorial on Tumblr of a model showing off her cute purple nails next to her extremely done up eyes. I tried to copy the look as best as I could considering the young lady has a very different eye shape then me. The model was wearing more yellow on the inner corner of her eye but on me it would have looked like a bruise. I haven't been able to find a link to the look but it's on my Tumblr some where in their. (Among the Supernatural gifs.) 

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk
Sugarpill e/s in Afterparty (A turquoise leaning blue patted on the lid.)
Sugarpill e/s in Dollipop (Bright hot pink swept along the lower lid and crease.)
Sugarpill e/s in 2AM (Red based purpled used in the crease to deepen the color a bit.)
Sugarpill e/s in Mochi (Aqua mint patted in the middle of the lid on top of Afterparty.)
120 palette (Primary yellow patted on the inner corner of the eye.)
Nyx e/s in Black (Matte black used lightly to deepen the crease slightly.)
Sugarpill e/s in Poison Plum (Perfect purple lightly used in the crease.)
Too Faced e/s in Silk Teddy (Shimmery sheer pink used to highlight the inner corner and the brow bone.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Mascara

Lips-
Wet n Wild lipstick in Taj-mauve-hall

Supernatural looks are coming soon. Sam's look is done but I'm having a hard time with Dean. How the hell do you do make-up based off of male characters? Oh gosh!

Mochi Princess-fotd

I've really been enjoying my Heartbreaker palette.  The colors blend so easily together the smokey eye I love to do with velocity and 2 Am don't need a between shade. I've been using my jumbo pencil more because it's the best base to use with Sugarpill eyeshadows. I tried a neutral Urban Decay pencil but it didn't work as well as the nyx. The shadows do pretty well without a base too. You could just use a primer and they'd be just as vibrant.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk
Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette  Mochi (Soft sea foam green patted on the lid.)Acidberry (Acid green blended into the crease and the lower lid.) Velocity (A bright royal blue lightly applied to the outer lower lash line.) 2 Am (A red based purple ran along the lower waterline.)
Wet n Wild palette in Vanity (Matte ivory used on the inner corners of the lid and the brow bone.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black

lips-
Darling Girl lipstick in Demure (Seriously this is my favorite lip color of all time.)

Sorry of the infrequency in posts. Sometimes I save looks up so I can post more at a time. I have a Darling Girl review I've been meaning to post plus loads of swatches. Yay swatches for once! I was also thinking...of maybe a Supernatural mini series? Or is that to geeky? Oh wait, nope I don't care. I'm gonna do it! The first one should appear on Sunday! Love you guys!

Slash Fic-fotd

I haven't used my 120 palette in a long time, like a super duper long time. I always forget about it since it's just shoved in one of my desk drawers and not with my other make-up stuff. 120 palettes are perfect for people without much make-up who want to try out a bunch of colors without spending much. I won mine in a giveaway which makes it extra special to me. I would love to have worn this to a club instead of just puttering around my house all day. Oh well!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow stick in Delinquent (A shimmery dark purple that blends out rather patchy.)
Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk (Dabbed on the inner corner of the lid and the crease to brow bone.)
120 eyeshadow palette (Matte purple shadow blended upward. Shimmery purple patted on the lid and blended lightly toward the matte purple, also used along the lower lash line. Shimmery black added at the inner crease to add a bit of depth. Shimmery white swept along the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)
Nyx Studio Liquid liner in Extreme Blue
Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plus mascara

lips-
Darling Girl lip balm in Demure

Holy crap guys, my Heartbreaker palette came today! Stay tuned because I'm going to have swatches and a look up soon!

Trenchcoat Angel-fotd

I've become rather obsessed with Supernatural as of recently. I'm a late comer to the show, but my friend Natalie forced me into watching a few episodes with her late one night. I'm kind of in love with Dean. Mostly because of his "male model type" hottness and because of his loyalty to his family. Castiel is my other favorite, he's hilarious in a dry way and I love his use of swear words. "Hey Assbut!" Whilst I'm being nerdy I'd like to add the good news, SAILOR MOON IS GOING TO BE BACK NEXT SUMMER. I AM SO HAPPY! Sailor Moon the anime and the manga were my favorite growing up. I don't think I would have made it out of grade school. Some people are inspired by historical figures or celebrities, I was inspired by a group of middle school girls who fought evil. 

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Rehab
Darling Girl e/s in Survival Instincts (Sparkly copper/purple/red patted on the lid.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte cranberry red blended into the crease, while the sparkly copper is used along the lower lash line.)
Wet n Wild Vanity palette (Golden Brown blended into the crease over the cranberry color. Matte brown blended softly on the outer corner of the crease. Shimmery ivory swept on the brow bone.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil 1999
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
NYX round lipstick in Rae
Wet n Wild lipstick in These Abode Walls

Okay back to make-up for a sec I ordered the new Sugarpill Heartbreaker palette on Friday. I finally had enough money to buy it but they were out on the site. I threw a hissy fit on Twitter and Mai came to my rescue. She told me Shanalogic which has the whole Sugarpill line on the site. I quickly purchased it, letting out a warrior like yell with victory. Soon it will be in my grasp! Muahahaha! 

Noxious Placebo-fotd

Sounds like a name for a heavy metal band right?
I'm half sick of shadows, neutral ones, that is. I've been needing to do an insanely bright eye and lip combo for a while. I kind of slapped eyeshadow on willy-nilly hoping it'd turn into something beautiful. I rarely use black eyeshadow but with this look the eye felt to stark without a bit of depth. Sadly using my Sugarpill eyeshadows did not squelch my want for more. Curse you're perfect-ness Heartbreaker palette curse you!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk (Used on the lid as a base and on the waterline.)
Sugarpill e/s in Midori (A bright blue based green somewhere between seafoam and clover patted on the lid.)
Darling Girl cosmetics e/s in Grasshopper (A matteish grasshopper green patted on the inner corner of the lid to create depth.)
Sugarpill e/s in Dollipop (A true bright a$$ pink used to create a cut crease.)
Too Faced Glamour-2-Go Dream Addition (Multi-colored sparkle laden matte black used on the outer crease.)
Sugarpill e/s in Tako (The whitest white around used to highlight the inner corner of the lid and the brow bone.)
Sugarpill e/s in Afterparty (A bright turquoise-ish blue swept along the lower lash line.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lahshes!
*Please note that I did use a Q-tip to clean up the look around the edges.

lips-
Rimmel lipstick In Vouge

Oh man I have some reviews to write soon! Would you guys want to see a mascara review? Cause I really like the Tarte mascara I've been using for ages and feel like I have enough to say about it now. I hope you guys have a really great day and spend it with your Father's or your Father figures. I'm helping my Dad move a whole bunch of stuff around and then making something tasty on the grill.
See ya later!

Welcome to Hellmouth-experiment

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has quickly become one of my favorite series. (Next to Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Stargate Sg-1, Sailor Moon...ok I have a lot of favorites.) I have to thank Cassie, whom has graced my blog many times with her beautious face, for having me watch. I like smart, witty shows and that's exactly what Buffy is. Joss Whedon is an amazing writer if you've seen any of his other shows or movies Buffy was one of the first 'verse he wrote. Sometimes after a long Buffy marathon I get it in my head that those evil critters that go bump in the night are real. I mean I live in Cleveland which is a Hellmouth according to Giles.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Wet n Wild black eyeliner pencil (Used to line the upper and lower lash line then blended up.)

Fyrinnae pixie epoxy
Nyx eyeshadow in black (Patted on the lid and blended towards the brow in the inner corner of the eye
also smudged underneath the lower lash line.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Bite Me (Metallic blood red blended onto the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Nijiro (A warm ivory used as a highlight color on the inner corner of the lid and brow bone. I put this on before the other colors to decrease the amount of blending.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Candy Coated (Deep red tossed onto the very inner crease to make the next color blend better.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Alchemist's curse (Matte black with rainbow hued sparkles patted onto the lid and run along the lower lash line.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Purgatory (Shimmery deep deep red used between Alchemists's Curse and Candy Coated to make a better transition between the two.)
Nyc liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
Wet n Wild lipstick (Deep brown red used on the inner corner of the lips, while a bright magenta red is used all over. I don't recall the names because I am silly.)
Rimmel Kate lipstick in 04 (Sadly this doesn't work with my skin tone so I can't wear it that much but I patted this on the inner pout of the lip.)

This was one of the most extreme looks I've done in a while. I've been wearing only neutrals or browns for the past month. I miss wearing bright colors but I have no time to apply them with school, my fiance moving and my parents being extra clingy.
 What do you think of the look? I wish I had enough time to make some vampire ridges so I could do an actual vamp look. The vampires in Buffy are so cool when they change face. Eee I love special effects make-up! 

Sweet like Sugar Venom Oh Yeah-fotd

In a past post I mentioned how I was obsessed with the singer Lana Del Ray. An indie mermaid who sounds like Nancy Sinatra if she slept with drug dealers and drank bourbon out of the bottle. Her lyrics borderline on the obsessive or morbid depending on the song, though simple they invoke an image of cracked out tainted love that reminds me of Sid and Nancy. I must admit her music is not as deep as say Tori Amos but it certainly is enjoyable. (Especially if you are a big mushy romantic like me.)

I did my make-up as if I were applying it to her face. I kept her much loved cat eye shaped liner and nude lips while adding a pop of color. It was difficult to contour my nose into the shape her nose is but I tried damn it, I tried. My lips are nice and plump naturally but I couldn't take my lips to the poison injected height Lana's are without the help of highlighting and dark brown lip liner. I usually hate nude lips on me but I loved the way they turned out for this look.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Sin

Fyrinnae e/s in Rapunzel Had Hair Extensions (A sheer gold peach patted on the lid.)

Fyrinnae e/s in Te Amo (A pretty bronze flecked taupe used in the crease.)

Wet n Wild Vanity palette (Shimmery brown used to deepen crease.)

Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Mildew (Used to rim the lower lash line and waterline.)

Sleek Bohemian palette (Metallic olive used to set Mildew on the lower lash line. The pale matte ivory is what I used to highlight. I also used to the matte black to trace out my cat eyeliner shape.)

NYC liquid eyeliner in black (Used to trace the wing, stopping in the middle of the lid.)

lips-

Foundation(Patted the lips to lightly to hide natural pigmentation.)

Random nudey-brown toned lip liner (Used to line top and bottom lip, shading in the sides to add depth.)

Nyx round lipstick in Circe (A pale nude lip patted on the middle of the lip and smudged outward lightly.)

Wet n Wild Vanity palette e/s in Tan (Run along the bottom on the lower lip to create a false shadow for depth.)

What do you think? Do you like Lana Del Ray? Is your music taste a bit different? I'd love to hear about who you like that's new in the music world. Then we can share the musical love!

Purple Caberet-fotd

For some reason I could not get this look to photograph, the pictures all came out blurry and muddled. The color wouldn't show through despite the brightness of the purple. I blame it on the bad weather that we always seem to have. Spring is my least favorite season in Ohio everything is swampy, cold and just generally crummy. Excuse my complaining this is around the time I get a hobbit sized, or rather Baggin's sized want to travel. This means I become rather crabby about my surroundings. Luckily a trip to the park cheers me up especially if I have my camera with me!

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Detrivore primer

Darling Girl Glitter Glue

Fyrinnae e/s in Snow Bunny (Light pinky toned lilac used on the very inner corner of the lid.)

Tomorrow I have to rove around my school taking a few pictures for my photography class. Luckily there are a few "nature-y" parts near by but unluckily I am sick. I'm going to have a long day at school tomorrow already (From 10 in the morning till 10 at night ugh.) being sick isn't going to make it easier. Wish me luck!

Cranberry Torte-fotd (1/31/12)

So many food based titles! Oh dear! After seeing at all the looks Robyn has been making using the Sleek Bohemian palette I broke mine out and did this one. I haven't touched my sleep palette in who knows how long. Which is a shame considering how beautiful and pigmented the shadows are. I'm officially on a no buy where eyeshadows are concerned! Until I use up some of my stock I can't click the mouse and purchase some samples like I love to do. I have a sample buying problem. Or would that technically be a commitment problem?

What I used:

Sorry for the mostly forehead full face shot, I had my hair back that day. This weekend is a study one which means I'll have a few looks to procrastination with. Maybe I'll do an uber dramatic one!

Feast For the Eyes- 3 fotds

You may have noticed that second look is not of me. That's of my best friend Heather! I've been begging her for YEARS to let me put make-up on her gorgeous face but she never lets me. Heather is not one of those girls who wears make-up, nor does she really need to. We've been best friends for sixteen years though we seem like opposites. Heather is really low key where I at least need a tad bit of mascara before leaving the house.

We met in first grade, I introduced myself while wearing a puffy pink dress thinking she needed to be fed. She thought I needed to be defended because the other girls made fun of me for wearing such a poofy dress. I shared my cosmic brownie with her as well as my sandwich. She's been fighting off the bullies ever since.Once we hit high school she started to wear closer fitting tops, our roles slightly reversed. Now I have to defend her form the hoards of dudes who like her.

I have no idea what I'd do without her.

I've been favoring the blended in crease as of late. It's very different from my usual hard lined crease colors. I actually like the blended out look a lot. I do it on other people so why not do it on myself for a change. I hope your Thanksgiving was lovely! I also hoped you did not get trampled by the crazy people out on Black Friday. I went to Wal-mart at ten at night, that was a terrible idea. I was groped, rammed and pushed by several different people. Please be safe when you shop!
