Nerd Lacquer ~ It's Just a Flesh Wound Swatch

First off, I don't know how nail bloggers do it. GET SUPREMELY PERFECT PICTURES!

I took about 100 in total in light, out of light, holding stuff, up against a wall and holy hell that was a process. My other freakin hand was hurting trying to hold the camera for that long.

Hopefully these pictures aren't too horrible but I know they could be better somehow. I just have to find that trick!

The first bottle of nail polish I decided to swatch from my Nerd Lacquer group is: It's Just a Flesh Wound. Swatches of Nerd Lacquer will look slightly different with every blogger because each bottle is in a way unique being hand blended and everyone has their technique to get the glitter out. My first coat I wasn't worried about the huge hex glitters because I was going to do two more coats but the last coat I tried to make sure I had a huge piece on the brush each time.

This shade is described as: a fierce black base with small and medium black, red, and copper hexagonal glitter, plus black and charcoal microglitter and big silver hex glitter.





Next 3 pics are 3 coats, no top coat (I didn't have any!)





Then I made a trip to the drugstore for some top coaty goodness.
This is 4 coats with 2 coats clear top coat. The 4th coat was me trying to dig out more big glitter bits :)






That one has 3 coats clear. Just trying to get more detail.

It'll probably take me a week to get all the polish off but so.worth.it

Yet MOAR Buttercupcakey Goodness

This look I did 2 weeks ago methinks.

I used:
UDPP
Lid: Aromaleigh Love Note
Crease: Sugarpill Cosmetics Bulletproof
Above Crease and Lower lashline: Sugarpill Cosmetics Buttercupcake
Liner and Lower Liner: MAC Black Line
Inner corner: I think I used Lumi
Browbone: I think this was Burberry Trench









And now click here to buy the greatest yellow eyeshadow in the solar system

This is the only look I've done in awhile, I've been reading again! Well, still I guess. Working on the Merry Gentry series, read all of Immortals After Dark (OMG I LOVE THEMZ! Covers are kinda goofy until you hit book 4. Actually 4 and 5's covers kinda suck also, skip to looking at book 6! :D) Read all the current Alien Huntress novels including the newest one I preordered. I'm eagerly waiting for this book to hurry up and be released. I think I tried to preorder that one 3 times because I couldn't remember if I did it already or not. IT'S STRIDER'S STORY! Yeahhh you probably don't know what I'm talking about. Stalk these books down and read em!
If you like these kind of books, on the right hand side where you see the button "Keeper of Strider" click on that and it'll take you to a really cool book review blog for books like these.
What else did I read.......
Oh yeah! The Masters of the Shadowlands books. They have nothing to do with immortal anything, but I really liked them. Turns out I'm not creeped out by BDSM. haha and there go 50 followers.

THE MORE YOU KNOOOOWWW

*RAINBOW*


What else, what else.

Oh look at this monster poutine I ate for dinner




Bacon, caramelized onions, mushrooms, chicken and of course cheese, fries and gravy.

HEARTATTACK!


Until next time folks! :)

More Sugarpill Cosmetics Swatches

I have 4 more swatches for you. Asylum was back in stock so I snagged one and well, ya can't stop at just 1 so I bought Absinthe, Tipsy and Bulletproof also.



Tipsy, Absinthe, Asylum
Bulltproof

GACK! I apologize for the marred spot in Bulletproof. I realized after I did the swatches, that I forgot to take an open shot, so it doesn't look all shiny and new :(
I'll be haunted forever, or for the next 5 minutes at least.
Tipsy, Absinthe, Asylum
Bulltproof

Absinthe, Tipsy
Asylum, Bulletproof (got the greens backwards from the jar pics and didn't notice until now, WHOOOOPS)



Bulletproof is completely matte but the brush wasn't completely clean so some shimmer flopped on the black. TIS FALSE IT IS! Picture it matte.

There you go.

You're doing it!

And it's done.

And a preview for WHATS TA COME!

Light up that torture spell only to put it out again.

Oh HAI!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLES!

I'm not in the spooky mood this year. For one, it's on a Sunday, 2 my friends are in another city, so no celebratory bruhaha for moi.

Anywhosies, I wanted to wear something dark and sinister on my eyes. This look was supposed to be a bit darker but it was still daytime and I didn't wanna hear the dude try to tell me what's daytime/nighttime makeup, AGAIN. DO NOT CARE SIR!

I used the Aromaleigh Spells! collection.

TFSI
FPE just on lid
Lid: Crucio (unforgivable spell, to torture)
Inner corner: Lumos (light)
Crease and lower lashline: Nox (put out the light)
Above crease: Fidelius (lets something be hidden)
Browbone: Finite (stops spell)

Lashes, $3 halloween ones from Walmart. Uncomfortable. Heavy. But awesome looking.









grrrr! arggg!!! meow?

Random EOTD's

Oh hai!

I've been very bad with updating because vampires have taken my time away. cant.stop.reading. It's Jeannine Frost's Night Huntress in case ya were wondering.

So here are a few EOTD's. Nothing wonderfabulous and I'll try my darndest to remember what I used.....


Number 1! My attempt at pin up makeup. DO NOT LIKE! I had my false lashes too far away from my lashline and then those damn blank spots in between the lashes were showing hard core so I attempted to pain over it and the liner looked too thick. FRIK!!!

I used:
TFSI
NYX Jumbo pencil Milk on lid
Lid: SheSpace Stopping Traffic
Crease: either Convicted or Crushed Metal. One didn't work so I went over it with the other
Browbone: Sunflowers and Sugar methinks
Liner: Joe felt liner (IT'S DYING ON ME!!!!)



Number 2!

I wanted a way to use just a bit of red. My brush didn't like this and decided to take over half my lid. Thanks brush. Jerk.

TFSI
Inner half: AL's Lorelei
Outter half: AL's Helterskelter
Browbone: AL's Oyster

I was too lazy to line, or had to get my ass to work. Either way, this look sucked. :D


TROIS! I wanted to use some MAC. It's crazy how pressed shadows just seem to royally suck ass compared to loose pigments. I used to hate loose ones because I thought they were to messy, but the insane colour payoff is SO WORTH IT! But I guess I shouldn't throw all pressed shadows in the same group. I hear Sugarpill will make you sell your mom to buy it.

I used:
TSFI
Inner Lid: MAC Flip
Outer half: MAC French Cuff
Crease and lower liner: MAC Henna
Upper liner: Blackline pearlglide INTENSE YO!

Can't even see the difference between Flip and French Cuff :(



4! I forgot what I used and then kinda remembered. Yay for being too lazy to put stuff back! ('twas in my makeup box still!)

TFSI
Lid: Aromaleigh Tutu
Crease and lower liner: Grace
Browbone: Satin Slippers
funkytastic joe felt liner up top thurrr

See how awesome Grace is though! It looks super green below but buffed to a nice grey with a bit of green when in ze crease. I wish I bought a backup of this one, I can see myself using this one OOODLES!



And what I did today. I didn't have much time but I wanted sparkly!

TFSI
Lid: Aromaleigh Cookie Party (one of the bestest shadows EVARRR)
No crease cuz NO TIME!
Browbone: Aromaleigh Georgiana
Lower liner: MAC Blackline smushed



Then I saw on the clock I had 2 free minutes! So I shoved some AL Twlight Sparkle powder around my eyes and stuff to be MOAR SPAKLEH!! (oh hullo fur face. Seriously! I'm a girl! Why does I has to have fuzzy lil stupid hairs ON MEH FACE!?)



And this is a neutral look I did but I can't remember a single shade I used other than the Annabelle Cyber Jungle liner. Crap.



EYEBALL SPAM!

teeheee.

HAPPY WEEKEND ALL!!!!!

Back to vampire-land.......

Saturday Night boredom - Smokey eyes! MSCHIC

*forgot to put video link in case peeps wanted to view, will add that now.

I forgot to show to eyes I did on Saturday!

Smokey eyes! I'm still trying to figure it out. I had this genius idea to do a giveaway contest based of people's best rock star/popstar/smokey eye look in celebration of me almost hitting 100 followers and in celebration of my almost cousin's new music video! (My actual cousin is in it as well! And the same cousin that wants me to do her makeup for the wedding, smokey eyes!) Warning, if scantily clad "officer" ladies are your enemy, you may not want to view :) But the song is awesome!

BUT I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks and I have to order stuff online, and shipping to Canada takes 2.5 weeks, so I may have to just sit on my idea and also be on the lookout for stuff on vacay.

So no contest yet, but still, think about it! Falsies! Glitter! Wicked cat eyes! ROCK STAR!!! :D

Yup, I'm a weird one.

All I know is the prize will definitely have a bar of Lush Rockstar soap as one of the items. I'll go out this weekend and have a look around and may have to order stuff right before I leave so it's on it's way when I come home again.

But I got completely off topic there!

Here were the eyes I did (and I so did just one eye each, at the same time, it looked mega weird.)

Eye 1!
I used:
Aromaleigh Satin laces, inner half
Aromaleigh Aurelie outer half
MAC HK quad Lucky Tom in crease
MAC Tempting quad Next To Nothing browbone
MSCHIC eyestain liner Astral Shine upper liner
MAC Pearlglide intense Black Line lower lash smudged with Astral Shine
MSCHIC X-Rated mascara black
(just realized I'm a turd and forgot to tell Jangsara I received my package! Just realized again I forgot to tell you guys I won her contest to receive said package! I'm such a loser)




And here was number 2. I liked this one better but it's still too shimmery for the wedding photographer I think. I'll have to ask her.

NYX trio was used
Inner lid: White Pearl
Outter lid Silver
Crease: Charcoal
browbone: same as look 1
Liner: Astral Shine
Lower liner: Charcoal with a bit of Astral Shine on top to smudge
MSCHIC mascara




And together now!


And before I forget, this was the package I received from Jangsara:

Wrapped all purdy!

What's inside it!

And what's inside that!


And a closeup of the liner:

It's a dark shimmery grey to me. So far I really like it, the lid was a bit unscrewed when it arrived but it wasn't dried out at all. My first pot liner! I bought an angled liner brush just for the occasion :D

The mascara I'm still getting used to. The brush is massive! It's one of the old-school brushes. I prefer the gimmicky comb brush but I think that's only because I've been using them since the greatest mascara of all was invented and then discontinued (I'm looking at you Maybelline Lash Stylist!!!) This baby was free so I'm not complaining :)

You can get the schtuff here and they now have INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING! (Extra awesome for moi!)

3 days no posty, bad me, BAAAAAD me

I sowy :( All my looks have been crap lately and I didn't feel like cropping the less fail of the bunch. Today was a betterish day. It didn't turn out how I wanted it too (too dark) but it wasn't a complete right off. I'm still trying to get the hang of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy, but dummy me keeps using uber metallics that don't really need the stuff to begin with :D

Anywhosies, today I decided to use Meow Cosmetics. I ordered a bunch of fs of the holiday collections so I decided it was time to use more of the sample baggies to break those other babies open.

I used:

Main lid colour: Ornament
End/Crease/lower lash corner: Midnight Kiss
Browbone: Vixen

EVIL BODYSHOP LIQUID SPARKLE LINER.

Rimmerl Glam Eyes Black Mascara.

I have decided to give up on the Body Shop sparkly liquid liner. Last time I thought my eye was watering like a mofo because I got liner under my lid. That may have happened that time but this morning it took me 10 freaking minutes to "swipe" the glitter off my eyeball SANS QTIP! I really need to buy some qtips. The glitter was on the brown part so I could see my finger coming at me!!

Never again.

I've worn many sparkly eyeshadows and effing glitter (aromaleigh) and NEVER had any of them try to imbed themselves into my eyeball. Yeah some got in my eye but blinking got them out. NOT A FINGER!

$10 WASTE. Don't buy it unless you have qtips and the time to poke your eyeball.

On a happy note, FYRINNAE LIP SWATCHES COMING UP!

Tis Mario Cart Time

Game Cube Mario Cart. Noice! I planned on wearing my new shirt I bought from Tee Fury. It's a kinda neato site, every 24 hrs a new shirt is released. They are only $9 each and $5 to ship to moi. This shirt was so adorable my boyfriend wanted one too so I bought 2 :D The girl's size xl would never fit my chest in a million years go I had to get a guys large. It's quite long so I may have to cut off a couple of inches to make it look right.



Since the shirt was muted colours I didn't want to wear anything too bright so I decided on black/white/grey!

I don't think I've ever worn these 3 shades together. I swatched a bunch on colours on my hand and decided to use all She Space pigments (I know some people aren't too fond of them but I haves a bunch and they need a usin'! And these 4 were the more vivid of the bunch) hah. vivid greys...

I used:

Main lid: Disturbed By Dreams
Crease and slightly higher: Convicted
Thin line in crease to separate colour better: Gothic Glamour
Highlight and blending a bit into Convicted: Glitz on Glass
Eyeliner: The Body Shop glitter black liquid eyeliner (was a duo with sparkle black mascara topcoat)

Just regular ol Rimmel Glam 'Eyez mascara

Blush: Luna Twilight Rosalie palette (the only good thing about it)

****extra! Google Twilight Rosalie Palette and my happy blog is first! WIN!! :D

Highlight on top blush: TooFaced Candlelight Glow powder (waste of money but can't let it go to waste or that would be much worse)

Lips: Avon Mark hook up in Peek-a-Boo

I didn't line the lower eyes. I didn't want to distract from the eyelid or make the look too dark. I usually don't follow "daytime/nighttime" makeup but the shirt specifically told me, "If you make this look too dark, I will strangle you in your sleep." So the shirt won this round.

Ignore the crappy hair in the full face pic, I didn't dry it yet so it looks all scraggly haggly schmaggly.





ITSAMARIO!
