Drenched in Otherworldly Charm-FOTD and OOTD (June 20, 2013)

 

Maxi Dress-Torrid (Pretty sure it's on sale right now!) Shirt-Target Sandals-K-mart 

Oh my God, a dark lip? I know right? Not something I usually go for but I figured the look needed an extra lil something something. I really like the whole shirt tied under the boobs look lately. I wear this shirt like that with a lot of my sleeveless dresses. It makes a dress look sassy while covering my arms up. 

What I used:

Eyes-

Wet n Wild Primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige 

Wet n Wild I heart mattes palette dark reddish brown (Used to cover half of the lid leaving space on the lid for another shade.)

Darling Girl cosmetics eyeshadow in Otherworldly(Used in the crease and the empty half of the lid.)

Random matte white (To highlight the inner corner of the lid yo.)

Random matte ivory (They're both probably from the I heart mattes palette I think... used to highlight the brow.) 

liner of course 

mascara 

lips-

Random deep wine lipliner from dollar store

Illamasqua lipstick in Drench (Though a lighter red the wine color deepened the shade nicely.)

Clinque Lip thingie in Black Honey (Added gloss and used to darken the shade further.) 

I made Shaun take pictures of me this time, that's why my hand is all fuzzy in the last picture. I think I need a tripod! (Oh and a cleaner space to use as a back drop.) 

Woodland Spirit Dressed in Lavender- FOTD (May 23, 2013)

What? Two posts back to back? Crazy talk! I know right? It's like I'm regularly posting again or something. I decided to try an odd color combo of brown and purple. I really liked how it turned out. I've got to use my Darling Girl eyeshadows more, it's my favorite indie brand honestly. Ladies and gents who is your favorite make-up brand? Any new brands you've recently discovered? I'd love to hear what you have to say!

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely There Biege (Just along the crease and brow bone.)

I just "Blue" Myself- Experiment (May 22, 2013)

 

I haven't seen many episodes of Arrested Development sadly, just enough to know it's hilarious. Since a new season has come out thanks to Netflixs I may consider watching it. I'm a Netflix junkie, I watch so much stuff on there I barely touch my tv any more. How can I resist a site that has Parks and Recs, Supernatural, Law and Order: SVU and Hemlock Grove? (P.s. if you haven't watch Hemlock Grove you need to. It's fantastic and the special effects make-up is baller.) Any hoodles I was bored whilst watching an episode of Supernatural so this is what I can up with. 

What I used:

Eyes-

Wet n Wild primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Cool Crush

Sugarpill eyeshadow in Mochi (Applied to just the lid in a rounded shape.)

Sugarpill eyeshadow in Velocity (Applied on the outer part of the lid in a triangle shape and down along the lower lash line.)

Sugarpill eyeshadow in Tako (Brushed lightly onto the brow bone and inner corner of the lid.)

Sugarpill eyeshadow in Afterparty (Used in the crease and lower lash line to blend out Velocity.)

Wet n Wild matte black eyeshadow (Swept along the lower lash line and blended up to meet the liner wing.)

Estee Lauder random metallic light pink eyeshadow (Used to highlight all the things.)

Physicians Formula Liquid Eyeliner Pen

Mascara 

lips-

Etude House lipstick in Idk but it's awesome 

And that's it, that's the look. Have a good day ya'll. 

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.

The Moose Winchester-fotd

Supernatural, my new addiction, is about Dean and Sam Winchester who hunt monsters for a living. The brothers travel in a Chevy Imapala named Baby with a sound track of classic rock.  They kick the crap out of ghosts, wendigos, shapeshifters and they even save the world about four different times. The first season starts out with them looking for their father after he goes missing on a hunt. Sam is away at college trying to lead an apple-pie life until his brother crashes in asking for help to look for their dad. Their Dad's obsession with killing the demon that murdered their Mother drives their whole life which is why they were raised in the "family business" of hunting creatures. By the seventh season they've saved the world from deranged angels and Leviathans alike.
This look is based off of Sam Winchester the youngest brother. He's the "heart" of the duo, good to the bone. Sam is smart and extremely witty even if his hair is a bit floppy in some of the seasons. Despite the fact that Castiel is my favorite I feel the most connected with Sam. Even though Sam has gone through hell most of his life he's still a good person. He still tries to do good and help others. Before he started hunting again he wanted to be Lawyer. Sam is just lovely! I chose mostly greens for this look because he wears a lot of it, plus his eyes are green. The purple on the lid was actually an accident. I was trying to do a smokey look but the eyeshadow changed on me! Dang duo-chromes.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Wet n Wild eyeliner in black (Used as a base all over the lid.)
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (Just a tiny bit.)
Darling Girl e/s in Sultry Siren (Appears to be a pretty olive green turns purple on black bases apparently.)
Mac e/s in Jealousy Wakes (A medium emerald green widely blended into the crease and run along the lower lashline.)
Sugarpill e/s in Acidberry (Acidic chartruse blended into the emerald green.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Nijiro (Shimmery ivory used to highlight the inner corners of the lid.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Wet n Wild lipstick in Black Orchid (Used along the outer corner of the lower lip to add smokey depth to the added pink.)
Wet n Wild lipstick in Fuschia with Blue Pearl (Used on the inner pout of the lip and along the top lip.)

Dean's is going to be hard. My friend suggested I do a neutral but dark smokey eye because the show it's self is pretty dark. I mean every other character dies in this show. Don't get overly attached or you'll find yourself covered in tissues with to many feels. What other characters should I do from the show? I was thinking Crowely, maybe Lucifer as well as Castiel and Bobby. Any suggestions?

My Little Fandom-fotd

My Little Pony the eyeshadow by Darling Girl cosmetics is beautiful. It's a strange pale baby pink with a lavender hint and gold shimmer, gorgeous. I paired it with my new favorite purple 2Am for a pretty pop of color. The blue waterline was a bonus I felt like the look needed something.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Darling Girl e/s in My Little Pony (Baby doll pinky with a hint of purple patted on the lid. I love this shadow.)
Darling Girl e/s in Stargazer (Lovely red pink used on the outer corner of the crease. 2AM is blended into the color.)
Sugarpill e/s in 2AM (Beautiful red based purple blended all through the crease.)
Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Vanity (Matte ivory used to highlight.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Flipside
Sugarpill e/s in Mochi (A watery aqua minty oh god I can barely describe this color patted on the waterline.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black

Lips-
Rimmel lipsick in In Vouge

About the Supernatural looks I'm having a hard time representing the plaid, leather and blood the show has to offer. I was considering doing the femme versions of the characters but my Castiel cosplay isn't put together yet. I'm pretty obsessed actually, I'm so obsessed I was able to get my fiance to watch it. He loves it by the way. Maybe I should do some special effects for this series...hmmm.

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.)

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! 

Moondust Spirits-fotd

On certain nice days my friends and I declare a dress day. That means no matter where we are we wear dresses. Last Friday was dress day so I wore my favorite dress from Torrid. I did have an ootd planned but the pictures looked freakin' terrible. You couldn't see my shoes at all! Boo! Hopefully next time I wear the dress I can get better pictures. Oh and please excuse my bra peaking out in several pictures. I must have missed it when I was first taking pictures. Oh the duck lip pictures for Jerry who if you haven't seen her blog yet you are missing out.

How's it Gonna Be?-fotd

I wore this on Saturday but I had to wash it off a few hours after put it on because of my eyes. It turns out the liquid eyeliner I'd been using had gone off. I didn't even know till I caught a whiff of it the next day. So gross. So. Gross. Ugh. I'm really sanitary when it comes to my make-up;I always check dates, never put water directly on to the products and I never let anyone use my eyeliner or mascara. Some how, some how this liner got past me. Blech. Aside from my "dramatic" eyeliner issue I've been pretty inspired make-up wise. I've started to play around with looks late in the night when I can't sleep. They come out crazy dramatic usually, I can't wait to post them!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Darling Girl cosmetics e/s in Mayor's Daughter (Lovely intense gold patted onto the lid and blended into the crease lightly.)

lips-
Wet n Wild lipstick in Light Biege Frost (Okay in real life this color is a gorgeous, it's like the Nars Orgasm of the lipstick world. This is my new favorite lippie.)

I have a few more looks lined up but I was thinking of writing a review. Who wants a Darling Girl swatchfest/review? Or maybe I should do a Femme Fatale cosmetics review...hmmm... choices... What do you guys think?

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!
