Dragon's Blood Forest-fotd (2/2/12)

Thanks to Kathy I'm now addicted to Lana Del Rey's song Videogames. I've been listening to it for the past few days constantly. Along with Miss Lana's song I've been obsessing over the BBC tv show Sherlock. It's written by Steven Moffat, the genius behind the most recent Doctor Who seasons. I've watched the three episode series nearly four times now watching it with other people. I can't find the second season anywhere because of *coughillegalcough* reasons and I'm not about to buy the second season. Hopefully it will be on Netflix soon so I can obsess over it.

What I used:

Detrivore Original Primer

Darling Girl Glitter Glue (Just patted on the lid.)

Shiro cosmetics e/s Kokiri Forest (My favorite green-gold swooped into the crease.)

What are you guys obsessed with right now? Any make-up brands or tv shows or books? Right this second I'd like to be playing with my Moon Rabbit Cosmetic samples but I'm to sick. At least I can still blog without contaminating my make-up.

As a parting gift let me leave you some link loving!

Look at Jerry's Make-up isn't it amazing?

Heather is blogging again incase you haven't heard. GO LOOK AT HER BLOG.

Ruth makes me want to dye my hair blue!

Robyn looking sexual as always with her Blix remix look

Wendy's green looks are always my favorite

Mai's review makes me want the Sleek palette even more! Dang no buy!

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!

Not Your Girl-fotd/Renee

As you may recall a month or so ago my very close friend Renee asked me to do her wedding make-up. A day before we had gone over several different styles including a look that was to sexy for wedding make-up. When I asked her if I could do her make-up (Like I usually do. Her face is just wonderful.) she asked me to do something similar to the sexy make-up I did with a sixties twist.

The sixties twist? Where does that come in? Well you see Renee is a HUGE Elvis fan. She can probably tell you every single thing about him. She is loves the sixties era including the mod-ish make-up Priscilla, Elvis's wife, wore. We attempted three different looks before we did this one including a mod like eye that I completely messed up on.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Nyx jumbo e/s pencil in Milk

Sugarpill e/s in Tako (A pure matte white used on the inner corner of the eye.)

Shiro Cosmetic e/s in Gengar ( A very shimmery brown applied all over the lid.)

Darling Ghoul e/s Witch and Famous (A warm taupe used lightly in her crease.)

Shiro Cosmetics e/s Meowth (Sparkly ivory used all over the brow bone and inner corner.)

Nyx e/s in black (Used along the lash line to define eyes but still make them look subtle.)

Mascara

lips-

Hard Candy lip gloss hand mixed with Sugarpill's Decora

Renee was one of the first people to let me do make-up on her. I used to do insane wings, masks and unblended monsters I used to call Avant Garde looks. Ha. Renee is moving to Okinawa Japan in January to be with her husband who is a Marine. I'm going to miss her so much but I know Mark, her hubby, will keep her safe and happy. Please wish her luck on her on coming journey.

Scabby Behavior-fotd (Grossness Warning.)

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday. I didn't get home till pretty late. I wore this for ten hours yesterday. I'm happy to say it stayed on amazingly well for sloppily applied zombie make-up. I even went to Steak n Shake with this on. But considering I've worn crazier make-up to that Steak n Shake the waiter just brushed it off haha.

What I Used:

Face-

Random mix of white and ivory foundation (For base and general dead look.)

Liquid Latex (Applied with q-tips all over the face.)

Toilet Paper (Made into one ply then placed on the jawline and upper lip to create texture.)

Ben Nye Wound Wheel (Patted, splatted and brushed all over to create wounds, gashes and generally nasty bits.)

Random safari green (Rubbed onto the lips.)

A good friend of mine had road rash on her face a few years ago after she fell off of her bike. After I put this on I showed her and she showed me the pictures of her face after the fall. The scabby bits on my face looked just like her old wounds. She then decided to poke at my face where the make-up was applied. Man, I love Halloween.

My Halloween was fun, my friends and I watched The Exorcist which I had never seen before. I really enjoyed it even though I'm not into scary films. I suppose I prefer suspenseful horror rather then scary/gorey horror. (Even though I love special effects make-up.)

Did you guys have a fun Halloween?

Purple People Eater-Never Too Much Sparkle Showcase

Recently I read Lovecraft's The Nameless City, a short story about a young man who venters into the Arabian desert in search of an ancient city. Like most Lovecraft stories you don't see the "monster." The tension simply builds and builds till finally the main character reaches their doom. What does this have to do with a funny kid's poem about flying purple people eaters? Nothing, unless you count a mystically unseen monster that frightens the people of all ages. (Ok maybe not all ages. Maybe like six year olds but Lovecraft's monsters are f*cking scary man.)

What I used:

Face- (Or rather half of the face.)

Holika Holika BB Cream

Wet n Wild single e/s in Cream

Wet n Wild Blush in Heather Silk

Eyes-

TFSI

L'oreal Chrome eyeliner pencil in Violet (Used as a base all over the lid and on the lower lash line.)

Sugarpill e/s in Poison Plum (Perfectly plum patted onto the lid and blended into the crease.)

Shiro cosmetics e/s in Butterfree (A shimmery lavender-purple used in the crease.)

Shiro cosmetics e/s in Jigglypuff (Shimmery lilac blended into the lower crease also used on the inner corner of the lid.)

Shiro cosmetics e/s in Meowth (Shimmery ivory used to highlight the brow bone.)

Almay liquid eyeliner

Nyx e/s in Black (Used to connect the lower lash line with the upper lid.)

Milani eyeliner in black

Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner in Distortion (A teal-pink glitter used on the lower lash line corner.)

lips-

Company That Must Not Be Named lipstick in Ultra Violet

I'm trying to use more of my stash since lately my looks have all been using Fyrinnae or Darling Girl. Those are my favorite companies right now but I gotta give love to all the other shadows I own. It's like re-discovering your favorite book. You remember why you love it once you turn the page. I'm copying the shopping one's stash idea from Wendi, check out her new series. You should also check out The Make up Heroes channel for new videos and tutorials.

Such Great Heights-fotds

Fall is fast approaching thank goodness. I can't wait till the leaves turn and the days start getting colder. Autumn is my favorite time of year mostly because of Halloween. As you can probably tell my looks are also becoming more autumn based. Wee! This Halloween is going to be great!

What I used:

Face-

Holika Holika Petite BB Cream

Darling Girl Pamper Primer Powder (Dusted over the nose where it gets the oiliest.)

Evil Shades blush in Gossamer (Wah my sample is almost out.)

Mascara

lips-

Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Roses and Violets

More Star Trek looks and reviews to come. I know I don't usually write reviews but reviews always help me when I want to buy stuff. :D

Jubliee-X-men fotd

Ah! I should have added the blue on the lower lash line to make it look more authentic. (Her costume is pink,yellow and blue.) Jubilee has the ability to create firecrackers or mini explosions in her hands. She can throw them to distract people or she can blow crap up with the little balls of energy. She was Wolverine's sidekick in the 90's, her Peter Pan like attitude worked well with his grumpy worldly personality. She grew to think of him as a father since her own Father and Mother were murdered by assassins. Her parents were Chinese immigrants who came to America to escape said assassins. Later on there is a whole bunch of business about her becoming a vampire and blah blah.

Sorry the blurbs don't contain all the story lines the character has been through. Marvel retcons story lines so much a person can't always keep them straight.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Fyrinnae P.E.

Shiro Cosmetics e/s in Pikachu (Bright yellow with red glitter patted on the lid.)

Sugarpill e/s Decora (Nearly neon pink with green shimmery used in the crease.)

Milani eyeliner in black

Mascara

lips-

Nyx Round lipstick in Thaila

If you like my look please check out Erin's take on Jubilee. She's doing her own Women of X-men series I think you should check it out!

I kinda feel like my look should have had glitter considering her powers are "fireworks." But I'm saving the dramatic looks for Dazzler and Psylocke. (Oh yeah those are going to be fun.)

Don't Call Me Baby, I'd Rather Be in the Corner-fotd

I'm a sucker for red eyeshadow, especially when it's paired with browns. I think it's a really unique combo that even people who feel uncomfortable using bright colors can pull off. The look is a little darker in person and the red is really vibrant.

On a special note I'd like to thank you all for following my blog. I'm up to 200 followers now. I hope you know how thankful I am for you guys. You've been here for me through hard times and through happy times. I'm very thankful to have followers like you guys!

Hi-Chews-Contest Entry/fotd

Hi-chews are a deliciously chewy, as the name suggests, starburst like candy from Japan. They come in a few different flavors as well as some limited edition ones. My favorite flavors are the melon, strawberry, lychee and cherry ones. Those are the flavors I based the look on. I wish I had added some lemon or orange too but I didn't think of it at the time.

The contest idea is great and a lot of other girls posted some AMAZING looks! Check out the contest entries here and the actual contest rules here.

Lolita fiend-fotd

I needed some cheering up today. So I plugged myself into some anime and turned off my brain. Thank goodness for friends, cookies and anime otherwise I'd go crazy. *sigh*

This look is based on several lolita looks I've seen on tumblr recently. I love the lolita and gothic lolita lifestyle/dress but I don't have the money or the sewing ability to make my own dresses. (Plus the dress companies rarely make those types of clothes in my size. TT.TT) Do you like any Japanese sub-cultures? I'm crazy for all Japanese fads to be honest. :D

lips-

Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Roses and Violets (This lipstick is my holy grail product. I lauve it!)

The other day I bought the ELF 32 smokey e/s palette at Target for $3. The color pay off on these shadows are terrible but I figured I could use them for making bruises or just when I wanted some sheer shadows. Yay for cheap stuff that's usable! :D

On the Road to Viridian City-Natalie FOTD

t

This is my good friend Natalie or as she's known on the interwebs as Little Isis. I met her in high school when she fell off of our bus and my fiance went to rescue her. After we dusted her off we discovered we all liked the same things we became fast friends. Lets fast forward to now, Natalie is a famous political blogger who is working on a novel, writes for her school news paper and is majoring in social work. I've done her make-up in the past but that's before I discovered brushes haha. I had fun working with her even those she squirms a bit.

I am eternally jealous of Natalie's curly hair. My hair is wavy and never stays curly or straight. Bah! Hopefully Natalie will let me do more make-up one her in the future. I was thinking a purple look or a forest green what colors do you think would look good on her? I'm thinking mostly warm colors because her skin is tan/warm toned.
