Halloween Town-Experiment




I was challenged by my fiance to do a look using orange, purple and green. He picked the colors out of my extensive make-up collection himself and proudly handed them to me thinking I was defeated. This look took me about twenty minutes to do which was enough time for him to fall asleep. When I was able to wake him he mumbled something about the look having a Halloween feel, thus the non-summery name haha.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s in Pyromantic Erotica (Multi-hued orange that had a green and yellow shift patted on the lid.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Plummy-violet used in the inner crease to add depth.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Sequined Master (Silvery twinkly purple blended all over the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in OMGWTF (Bright chartruese patted on the outer corner of the lower lid.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk (Waterline of course.)

Lips-
Nyx round lipstick in Nyx (Bright orange-y coral.)

I've been doing the white waterline a lot this summer. It's a lot nicer then having black eyeliner gunk up into the corner of my eye making me look like a raccoon. Not to mention it makes my eyes look huge! What's your favorite make-up trick in the summer? My other favorite summer trick is just a tap of concealer around my nose, under my eye and along the discoloration on my chin. I still wear a primer so that it doesn't slip off and I can add cheek color if I feel it looks to blah. I'd love some more tips!

Loki'd-Experiment





*I did edit this pictures a bit and by edit I mean I made them a tad brighter

Have you seen The Avengers yet? I haven't! I loved Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and even one of the Hulk movies that no one seems to like. My favorite bad guy out of all the movies is Loki, not only is he adorable in an evil yet vulnerable kind of way but he's also all sorts of bad ass. I'm really excited that he's the bad guy in The Avengers I can't wait to see it. In the mean time I did a Loki inspired look. I wish I had used some Lady Loki inspo, in the comics Loki can turn from a man to a woman. A really really hot woman by the way.
In Nordic mythology Loki is the God of mischief. He's been known to cause trouble where ever he goes. He's killed a few ice giants and gods in his time and even mated with a horse. He's known to have a silver tongue able to talk anyone into anything. He's charming but damn is he tricky.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (Just a tad bit on the lid.)
Darling Girl e/s in Grasshopper (Matte-ish grass green used on the inner corner of the lid.)
Femme Fatale cosmetics e/s in Poison (Perfect chartreuse patted in the middle of the lid between the green and yellow to blend it better.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Bifrost (Bright yellow patted at the outer corner of the lid and blended into poison. The bifrost is the name of the bridge the gods use to cross worlds in Norse mythology. I had to use this!)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte navy blue used to create a cut crease that starts at the very edge of the lid.)
Femme Fatale cosmetics e/s in Riptide (Electric blue applied over the navy for added sparkle!)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte ivory used on the brow bone and used to blend out the crease.)
NYC liquid eyeliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Clash (Used on the waterline.)
Sugarpill e/s in Afterparty (A bright bright blue patted on the waterline over Clash.)
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
Rimmel lipstick in Kate 04
Max Factor random purple lipstick of awesome

Alrightie quick question, which camera do you prefer? The Rebel which I used in this post or the Nikon I used to use. The Rebel has better depth, is true color wise but is a pain in the butt to use for close up shots of the eye. My little Nikon is perfect for close up shots but doesn't always show the depth certain eyeshadows have. Which camera would you guys like to see me use?

Sparrow's Song-fotd




Only one more day till I drive with my friend Cassie to Connecticut. I'm literally so excited I can barely sleep. I wanted to put up this look and another before I leave just incase I can't post. I did this look on Monday when I was playing around with my make-up. I like the navy blue crease before I added the extra blue. The navy in the Bohemian palette is gorgeous with a purple-ish cast that makes it really nice.  I thought it paired well with the deep blue shadow on the lid but I put over another blue anyway. Argh!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow stick in Sin (Used all over the eye.)
Sleek Bohemian palette Navy blue (Blended into the crease and along the lower lash line.)
Darling Girl Glitter Glue (Patted on the lid.)
Darling Girl e/s in Songbird Weaponry (A metallic navy blue with intense shimmer patted on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Otherworldly (Sheer shimmery aqua used all over the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)
Sugarpill e/s in Afterparty (Bright blue applied over the navy blue in the crease.)
NYC liquid eyeliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes

lips-
Darling Girl Queen of Hearts

Hee-heh I'm wearing my Voyager tee-shirt! School is officially done for me for the semester tomorrow. I applied to CSU but I've yet to hear back. Hopefully I was accepted and then I can start looking at theater courses or something. I swear I have direction now, it's just hard to get back on track. This semester was a brutal one, I'm glad it's over. My personal life was completely out of whack I could barely keep up with school. Next fall will be better. I have lots to look forward too.

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!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Detrivore cosmetics Original eyeshadow base
Detrivore e/s in Nameless (Tangerine pale pink patted on the first part of the lid.)
Darling Girl Glitter Glue (Just applied on the crease and brow bone.)
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk (Used on the inner corner of the lid.)
Sugarpill e/s in Tako (Pure white patted on the inner corner of the lid.)
Sugarpill e/s in Dollipop (Bright matte pink patted on the outer corner of the lid and blended in wards towards Nameless. Blended lightly under the purple as well.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Violet purple blended onto the crease to add depth before the second highlight color.)
Detrivore e/s in Muse (A shimmery lilac used in the crease.)
Concrete Minerals e/s in White Rabbit (Sheer white with violet sparkles used on the inner corner and the brow bone.)
NYC eyeliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Delinquent (Faded from use on the waterline for school so naturally it was under my eye.)
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
Random Max Factor Lipstick I stole from my BFF

Sorry for the boring post today. I have some homework I need to do so no witty ramblings right now. Love you guys!

Mess in a Dress-fotd





I wore this on Monday because I wanted to feel pretty. I had some Junkie smudged under my eye left over from my school make-up so I put it in the look. Lately I've been trying to play catch up with everything after my visit to Kent. I've written two papers and even started a new Anthropology class. I love Anthropology, if I hadn't wasted my time I would have gotten my degree in Anthropology. Studying how people migrated or how certain cultures came together is so interesting to me. Instead of that I'm transferring to Cleveland State to get my liberal arts degree then hopefully I'll be able to go to a special effects make-up artist school!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Darling Girl cosmetics Glitter Glue
Sleek cosmetics Bohemian palette (Matte blue based purple blended into the crease.)
Concrete Minerals e/s in Wicked (Shimmery medium purple with a teal duochrome blended into the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Kitten in Heels (A cool toned magenta patted on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Chaotic Evil (BRIGHT neon like pink tapped on the inner corner of the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Shinigami (Shimmery dark purple patted and blended onto the outer corner of the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Nijiro (Shimmery ivory with rainbow sparkles used in the crease.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Junkie (Peacock teal smudged under the eye. I wish I had set this with a powder curses!)
Nyx e/s in black (Lined lightly to create an outline for the curve.)
Milani eyeliner in black
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
Wet n Wild lipstick in Taj-mauve-hal

I loved this look but it's been so hot it started to crease a lot earlier then usual. I'm not sure if you've read but it's the middle of March and Ohio is having 80 weather. Usually at this time of year we have about a foot of snow on the ground. Since the weather has been so weird I've been wearing a lot of nude eyeshadow and black liner. I'll take a picture tomorrow of my standard make-up, maybe I'll even throw in a tutorial. Thank you guys for your continuing support, you like me! You really like me! (sobs un-controlably)

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:

Eyes-
TFSI
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.)
Darling Girl cosmetics e/s Dragon's Breath (Muted green with heavy gold shimmer patted onto the lid.)

Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte ivory used on brow bone to highlight.)
Wet n Wild Vanity palette (Shimmery ivory used on the brow bone to highlight.)

Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow stick in Clash (Used over Flipside to create a unique teal/turquoise.)
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes! Mascara

lips-
Nyx Round lipstick in Tea Rose

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!

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:

Eyes-
TFSI
Detrivore Original primer
Sleek Bohemian palette
-Mushroom brown used in the crease.
-Cranberry red used on the lid.
-Purple used in the crease and blended lightly.
-Matte ivory used to highlight the brow bone.
NYC eyeliner in black
NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-
Nyx round lipstick in Tea Rose

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!

Photo-Tropic-fotd





It's very cold and rainy right now. I need a dab of sunshine right now and guzzling orange juice just isn't enough. This warm, tropical flower like look came to mind when I was digging through my eyeshadow drawer. I love the nyx liquid eyeliner I used but for some reason the pictures don't show how truly bright of a blue it is. :(

What I used:

Eyes-

Fyrinnae e/s in Brifrost (Bright yellow with beautiful shimmer used on the inner corner of the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Electro-Koi (Sparkly orange used on the outer half of the lid.)

Sleek Bohemian palette e/s matte yellow (Used on the lower lash line.)
Nyx studio liquid eyeliner in extreme blue
Nyx jumbo e/s pencil in purple (Used on the waterline. Meh should have used flipside.)
Mascara

lips-

What are you're favorite color combos? What colors do you think I should use next? I'm running out of ideas and I'd love some inspiration!

Bikini Sports Ponchin-Fotd





Bikini Sports Ponchin is a song by the Japanese death metal band Maximum the Hormone. I'm pretty sure it's about sex but I'm not really sure since I'm terrible at translating songs. I wasn't going to post pictures today till one of my friends told me I had too lol. The head phones in the picture are sadly not mine. They belong to my best friend who left her ipod here. I gleefully stole her head phones and started head banging to her music. She has the most amazing taste in music. We tried to put her itunes library on to my laptop but we can't figure out how to transfer since she has a dell and I a mac. :(

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk
Sleek Palette matte brown ( A plum,gray and brown color used in the crease.)
Sleek Palette matte tan (slightly darker then my skintone ivory used on the lid.)

N.Y.C. liquid eyeliner
mascara

Lips-
NYX Jumbo lip pencil in Deep Red ( Tranced lips and filled in.)

Unnamed brand sheer red glossy lipstick

What's your favorite lipstick? The one you can't live with out? Mine was Evil Shades Lip stick in Primrose Path but it's still missing. :(

Purple and Yellow FOTD + Need some advice



This was kind of only an eye look today, my skin has gone nutty plus I have no concealer left. All I could use was some powder foundation that really doesn't cover my spots. I'm stressed out today, a friend is starting problems with me, all my exams are tomorrow and I can't bloody stop thinking of the mess she caused. It's starting to get to me. I feel so angry and hurt. I'm trying not to think about it but as you can see I got upset enough to do one eye badly.
I really should be studying...

What I used:

Too Faced eyeshadow Insurance
Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Sleek Palette yellow ( On the lid.)
Sleek Palette Purple ( On the crease.)
Sleek Palette Beige ( On the inner corner of the eye and as a highlight.)
Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean ( Used as a liner applied with a thin angled brush.)
Sleek Palette Black ( Over the black bean, this is where I messed up and got black on the crease.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero
Mascara

I just left the mess because I'm not going any where today. I really love this palette though. It's so silky and amazing.
I need some advice what the heck do I do about my friend? She's very immature and selfish I can't deal with her when she's attacking me for no reason. ( She has bi-polar disorder and is in her manic stage. I've tried being there for her but she's shoving all of us away. She's being very hurtful, rude and nasty.) I can't even stand up for myself because I'm not that type of person. What do I do?

Love from the Brits + Lemon Lime fotd






I walked to the mail box feeling slightly low. I have yet to have gotten my Hi-Fi cosmetics order, I woke up late this morning, all my exams are all on one day and one of my friends is acting crazy. I don't have many girlfriends because a lot of girls cause drama, sadly she just keeps proving my point over and over. I perked right up when I noticed there was a small package from the U.K. in my mail box. I shrieked and ran up the drive way waving my arms around like Kermit the Frog. Eeee I love Sleep, I love this palette and I really want more. I keep looking longly at the Acid palette but I'm not sure if the Sleek website ships to America.

What I used:
Eyes-
Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance
Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk
The Bohemian Palette from Sleek
The matte bright green ( Used in a round almost 1920's shape.)
The Matte bright yellow ( Used on the outer crease and blended in.)
The Matte light beige ( Used as a highlight color.)
Almay Liquid Eyeliner in Onyx ( This has sparkles on it so it added a wee bit of depth.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero
Mascara

Lips-

Thank you so much RaeRae for hosting this give away. I love my palette. XD
