Circus Lemonade-FOTD





I had no idea what I was putting on today. I just kind of went with what my head told me to do. I think it turned out well. I wish I had orange lipstick and blush because this look would have been PERFECT with orange. It would have been a citrus circus!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (Just on the lid.)
BRM e/s in Mother Sunflower (Primary yellow applied to 3/4's of the lid.)
BRM e/s in Gremlin (Lime green applied to the inner corner of the lid and the rest of the 1/4.)
Sugarpill e/s in Afterparty (Bright blue applied in a C shape on the crease and blended upwards.)
Sugarpill e/s Midori (Blue based green blended into the parts where Afterparty and Gremlin meet as well as on the waterline over blue base.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Underworld (Sparkling sheer aqua used to highlight.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick in Valentine

Needless to say I think my "writers block" with make-up is finally over. I've decided to stop obsessing over trying to make my "wings" even. Once you stop trying to be perfect the creativity just takes over. (Snuggling with chihuahuas also helps my ~creative~ process.)

Cat's Pajamas-Experiment






"Hey baby' wanna take a ride? I've got some sugar for ya right here." The gentleman grinned at her from the cab of his car. He was well dressed but his oily hair gave away his personality.
"Look here, I'm not no prostitute! Get out of here you-you flat tire you!" Holly yelled at the . Her voice was high and thin like her eyebrows. Holly had just recently bleached her plain brown hair blonde but wasn't enjoying the attention. She wished she hadn't let Lucy cut her hair short either. She missed the long braids she used to wear so often.
"Calm down Holly he's just wants to take us to the club. Ain't that right mister?" Lucy flashed her award winning smile at him. Lucy had all the right things to be a flapper girl. Her black hair was already pin straight so when they cut it short with bangs it looked perfect. Holly hated having to put finger waves in her hair every morning.
Lucy climbed into the car without a second thought. "Butt me." She commanded. The man chuckled and stuck a smoke in her mouth. She fluttered her eyelashes while he lit the cigarette. "Ain't ya coming Holly? It'd sure be lousy without you." Damn, now she had to get in the car with the dead beat. No, no she didn't. She stomped her heeled foot and marched away so the fringe on her dress swung.Tomorrow she'd back her bags and head towards New York, Cleveland wasn't the town for her after all. She'd grow out her hair again and throw away her painful hair pins. But tomorrow wasn't here yet, today she'd enjoy herself and find a coffee shop that played Jazz instead of a club. She heard the final strains of a trumpet in the distance and knew she was heading the right way.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Nyx e/s in black (Used to trace the triangle like eye shape but I left an empty bit on the lid. Also smeared lightly along the lash line.)
Fyrinnae pixie epoxy (Spread all over the triangle shape.)
Sugarpill e/s in Goldilux (Perfect gold patted on the empty space on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Steampunk (A deep copper gold blended over the black lightly.)
Wet n Wild e/s palette in Vanity light ivory (Patted on the inner corner of the lid and to highlight the brow bone.)
Almay Liquid eyeliner in black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara (tons and tons of mascara.)

lips-
Nyx round lipstick in Medusa

Yay for pointless stories! Right now I'm in love with the flapper girl style. I was inspired by BLIX's Morgana Cryptoria 1920's lipstick photoshoot. You will DIE if you see the pictures. They're so glamourous I got completely obsessed haha.
p.s. I made the full face shots cooler toned but the eye shots are un-enhanced/un-changed. I don't normally enhance or edit my pictures but I liked the way these looked edited.

Anime Girl Ai-experiment






I love anime, just not as much as my best friend. She's constantly introducing me to new animes and getting me addicted to new shows. When we were children our favorite shows were Gundam Wing,Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon. We wrote hilariously bad self inserts for each show. The best fan fiction she had ever written was a detail Sailor Zodiac series. It was over ten chapters long! It included made up love interests for our self inserts as well as an insane villain. This bred a lot of fight scenes which meant some of them were acted out. (Yes, I am admitting to LARPing Sailor Moon style. I have no shame!) Our brothers made the best bad guys.
She's not a writer anymore because of school but she is a Japanese Major. I keep trying to get her to write an anime review blog. Hopefully with enough peer pressure she'll give in to start one in the summer.

What I used:

Face-
L'oreal True Match concealer
Stila Illuminated tinted moisturizer
Wet n Wild e/s palette in Spoiled Brat (Bright pink used on top of cheek bones and blended down.)
Evil Shades e/s in Phyrra's Fantasy (Beautiful pink used as a blush.)
Illuminating powder (Applied on top of the cheeks and cupid's bow.)


Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s in Leif (Perfect green used on the lid.)
Hi-Fi cosmetics e/s in Raw Shock (Bright green used on the inner part of the crease.)
Sugarpill e/s in Tipsy (Shimmery green blended into the inner corner of the lid and inner crease.)
Evil Shades e/s in Dryad (Forest green blended into the crease to make a wing.)
Wet n Wild e/s palette in Spoiled Brat (The sparkly black used on the outer half of the crease.)
Morgana Cryptoria e/s in Druscilla (Hot hot pink used on the outer part of the lower lash line.)
Brazen Cosmetics e/s in Tease (Softer sweeter hot pink used on the inner lower lash line.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Faerie Realm (Sheer lavender used to highlight.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Flipside (Used on the lower water line.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara
Wet n Wild e/s palette in Spoiled Brat (Bright pink used to fill in brows.)

Lips-
Morgana Crypotria lipstick in Azalea

Hmm you know maybe I should enter High Voltage's contest taking inspiration from anime. I've always wanted an eyeshadow like Trunk's hair, Heero's green shirt and Goku's orange jumpsuit...

Dark Side of the Moon-Dramatic look









The moon was huge last night. In my town however it was covered up by clouds so only a little of the blue light escaped. The moon has always been my most favorite celestial object even when I was obsessed with astronomy. It can't help that my favorite anime as a child was Sailor Moon. Did you get any good pictures of the moon last night? For some reason my pictures were all blurry. :(

L'oreal true match cool toned concealer in ivory
Estee Lauder e/s in pink ice (Used to highlight face.)
Nyx e/s in iced lilac (Soft lilac color used as a blush for the purple cape look.)
Wet n wild blush in heather silk (Used in the black cape look all as a blush/temple contour.)

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae PE
Hi-fi cosmetics e/s in let it snow (My favorite shimmery white used on the inner corner of the lid and to contour the nose on the sides.)
High voltage e/s in crystal ball (A beautiful silver with gold duo-chrome used on the rest of the lid. Blended into let it snow gently.)
High voltage e/s in los angeles (Soft silvery blue used on the lower crease to define.)
High voltage e/s frost bite (Bright medium blue used to cut the crease.)
Hi-fi cosmetics e/s in super sonic over drive (Violet based bright nearly neon blue used under the lash.)
Nyx jumbo e/s pencil in milk (On the waterline for the purple cape pictures.)
Milani eyeliner in black (On the waterline for the black hooded pictures.)
Almay liquid eyeliner in black
Mascara
Wet n wild night elf palette (the red to fill in the brows.)

lips-
High voltage amplified lipstick in ultra-violet (Perfect light purple for the purple hooded pictures.)
Cover girl (?) lipstick in fire shine (Used for the sexier black cape pictures.)
