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.)
Darling Girl cosmetics e/s in Making Merry (Rich berry red used in the crease.)
Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Vanity (Shimmery ivory used to highlight the browbone and inner corner of the eye.)
NYC Liquid Eyeliner (Used up finally!)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

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?

Bloopers-Unposted/Forgotten looks









Here are a whole bunch of looks I forgot to blog! I don't remember most of the products I used in these but if you ask maybe I can try to remember. Most of these are late night experiments created out of boredom. The last look is an attempt at a different shape. I'm not sure if it works for me but practice makes perfect!

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?

Where the Hell Have You Been?

Wait, wait before you get the tomatoes out I can explain! For the past two months my life has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. My fiance and I broke up but quickly reunited after a twelve hour lapse in judgment. I was still a mess since I had a shit load of emotions to deal with and the fact that he moved into his own place. Then I went to Connecticut with Cassie for three weeks. I got to explore the "wilds" of Connecticut. Meet all of Cassie's friend's and family including her extended family which was very exciting. We even got to visit Salem, Mass where one of my ancestors, Giles Corey, was pressed to death during the Salem Witch Trials. (We have huge portraits of his parents hanging in our hallway.) I have loads of pictures if anyone is interested in me posting them.  I came back well rested, well read and bursting with make-up ideas. I feel like I've been in a funk for a year! Hopefully I'll be able to write more reviews, discuss some of my favorite products and force my friends into colorful make-up they'd never do on themselves.
So basically what I'm saying is I'm back!

GoldBerry-fotd



I've been trying different eyeshadow shapes recently, this one was easy to do since most of the shadow was on the lid. I feel like this shape made my eyes appear heavier, more rounded. I love green and gold together. I want to do this look again using purples and blues or purple and taupe. Neutral colors are always nice to wear but adding a pop of color on the waterline or inner corner makes you stand out.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae pixie epoxy
Sugarpill e/s in Goldilux (Intense yellow gold applied on the lid only.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Platinum (Shimmery silver/gold/ blended lightly into the crease.)
Nyx jumbo pencil in Milk ( Used on the inner corner of the eye and on the waterline.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Grassy green patted onto the inner corner of the lid.)
Sleek Bohemian palette (Matte ivory used to highlight the brow bone.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Electric Stardust (Shimmery blue based mint patted on the grass green for added shimmer.)
NYC liquid eyeliner
Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

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

I'm currently in Connecticut hanging out with Cassie. Connecticut is actually really similar to Ohio, except they say Tag sales instead of garage sale. (Which I think is totally weird.) We were suppose to go camping yesterday but sadly or thankfully I'm not sure we were unable to. I'm coming home on the 31st via train so that's cool. Look for more posts since I brought a crap ton of make-up with me haha.

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.

Filth, Slime, Muck and Mildew-fotd




Thank God school is nearly over. I only have one week to go and once that week is over I'm going with my friend Cassie back to her home state of Connecticut. This semester has been a really difficult one thanks to many personal/emotional issues. I feel like I've been through the wringer and so have my grades. Next school year I'll be going to Cleveland State while living either at home or with my fiance at his new place. Hopefully next semester will be better then this one. Anyway I wore this look today after I rocked my Anthropology final. On Monday I have a German final but I still have to take a different German test. Argh so much German to study so little time. I wanted to get a post in since I suck at making them lately.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Mildew (Blended onto the lid but not the inner corner, run along the lower lashline as well.)
Mac e/s in Jealousy Wakes (Blue based green patted on the lid.)
Too Faced e/s in Velvet Revolver (A sandy matte biege used in the crease and blended upwards.)
Too Faced e/s in Sexpresso (A matte deep brown used to deepen the crease and define the shape.)
Detrivore cosmetics e/s in Ghoul (A matte-ish shade of olivey-chartrusey green used over the Too Faced shadows to create a muddy-green color.)
Too Faced e/s in Heaven (Pale matte ivory used to highlight the brow bone and inner corners.)
Too Faced e/s in Silk Teddy (Silky pale pink shimmery shadow used on the brow bone.)
Urban Decay 24/7 e/s pencil in Sin (Applied to waterline.)

When I'm in Connecticut Cassie and I are going to Salem and then Boston to sight see. I'll take loads of pictures, not just of my make-up but of everything I can. I'm really excited to go, I get to spend time with one of my best friends and go to some awesome places! Thanks for the read you guys!
