Turquoise Terror

Meh, I just wanted the alliteration in the title, I don't find anything terrifying in this look. I actually LUUUUV IT!

There are a few colour combos that I see out there that I love every single time. A bright turquoise shadow with a brown crease is probably my favourite.
Like this one from Luna Soeth >> http://lunasoeth.blogspot.ca/2009/01/sketch-jewel-blue.html
(dear Blogger FIX YOUR DAMN LINKING BUTTON)

So pretty!

Here's me attempting this:

UDPP
Lid: Turquoise shade
Crease: Too Faced Push Up
Darken crease: Cocoa Puff
Browbone: Too Faced Heaven
Lower liner inner half: Annabelle Cosmetics Reverie
Lower liner outer half: Cocoa Puff again
Physician's formula gel liner
A BILLION POUNDS OF MASCARA!





^^^That pic looks a bit goofy because it was crazy dark and I tried to lighten it up but I'm not good at that kind of stuff :s

And a Hipstamatic pic of my whole head :D

No pants EOTD's

Here are some quick pics of the looks I've done this week.

Only 1 shot of each because I had to catch a bus and had no time to fiddle around.

I WAS PANTSLESS! For real. I do my makeup before I get changed for work but had to snap eye pics while the camera was right here, hence "NO PANTS EOTD'S!"

The yellow pic is a bit blurry but no time ninjas. Almost no time for pants even. But I did both. It was for the best.

First eyeball:

UDPP
Sugarpill Buttercupcake on lid and above crease and in lower lashline
Aromaleigh Grace in crease
Burberry Trench on browbone
MAC Black Line smudged into lower lashline under Buttercupcake
Physician's Formula gel liner

I used the wrong crease shade. I couldn't remember what I used in the past but I don't think Grace was it, I think I used a dark matte grey but it still looked okay.


messy eyeliner is messy

Eyeball 2:

1 MORE WEEK UNTIL THE HUNGER GAMES!!

So excited! SO MUCH! AHHHHH HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!

The commercials make it look so cool.

Rainbow Cut Crease

You like rainbows?

You like cut creases?

You like caramel apples?

Okay well in this post there is a kind of rainbow, a half assed cut crease and I already ate the caramel apple.

I NOMMED THE HELL OUT OF IT!

A looooooooong time ago I bought 50 Detrivore Cosmetics samples off eBay. It was a pack of her first 50 shades which was pretty sweet! I can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much and the baggies have more in them than any other samples I've had which makes them extra awesome.

As I was looking them all over I decided RAINBOW! Vaccine is such a fun bright yellow I thought it would look awesome next to a bright pink and topping it off with a teal. To make the teal super duper I added a cool mustardy shade to blend it upwards. Yes. I said super duper. CUZ IT WAS!

I used:

UDPP
Inner half lid: Vaccine
Outer half: Sexualis
Crease: Brine
Upper crease: Vile
Browbone: Swine
Lower lashline inner 3rd: Gorgon
Lower Lashline Outer 2/3rds: Dagon
Physician's Formula gel liner







APPLE!



It's been awhile since I've browsed the site but right now what interests me the most is the Graveyard collection: http://www.detrivorecosmetics.net/Graveyard-Collection_c_34.html (which has colours I'm not usually into but they look so soft and pretty!)
And the mattes http://www.detrivorecosmetics.net/Matte-Eye-Shadows_c_11.html.
AND THIS PINK http://www.detrivorecosmetics.net/Malady-Eye-Shadow_p_144.html. If it's anything like MAC's Cool Pink, I'll need a tub of it.

I tried to link those up but blogger is screwing up again. I manually typed in the codes but my preview showed up blank so no winning today!

Vaccine (the sweet ass yellow) is only available for a little while until it sells out so get it here while you can: http://www.detrivorecosmetics.net/Vaccine-Ectoplasma-and-Lurid-LE-set_p_317.html

Highlight shades are only $3 and the mattes are just $4. I kind of feel like a jackass for not having full sizes yet but I'll get there :)

RAYNEBOWZ

Dead Pumpkins

Kassie (http://www.unique-desire.com/) did a review on a Sailor Moon themed makeup collection which made me think of Persephone Minerals' Sailor Moon shadows which reminded me of her awesome Halloween shadows and that was my thought process for this look!

I used: TFSICandlelight
Inner half lid: Pumpkin Head
Outer half lid: Dead Ringer
Crease+lower lash line: Graveside Manner
Browbone: Golden Halo
Liner: Physicians Formula black gel liner
crappy mascara





oOo pretty jars!

Yellow Hysteria

This look didn't go as planned. I rushed through it because we had a reservation to get to but I got side-tracked by facebook and had to keep getting up to wash my hands every time.

Keyboards be filthy yo


So this messy mess is what I can up with.

I used:

UDPP
Lid: Meow Hysteria
Inner corner kind of: Meow End Game
Crease + lower lashline: Sugarpill Buttercupcake
Browbone: Meow Prophesy
Physicians Formula brown eyes gel liner and MAC Black Line smudged on lower lashline









Nothing cool has happened lately. I started reading a new vampire series (Jaz Parks) but I'm 1/3 through the 2nd book and I'm so bored already. There are 6 more books and then it ends so I have to keep on reading. MUST FINISH! Or at least skip through like I did with the 4th Twilight book just to get it over with.
I thought there'd be more hooking up and stuff because the covers looked kinda badass and some people on Goodreads list it under "paranormal romance" but it's mostly just a crazy chick with a vamp bossman and a psychic and a gadget guy kicking bad guy ass. I hope this series gets better. 6 MORE BOOKS! GET BETTER AND JUNK!


Also HUNGER GAMES NAIL POLISH!

This is the part where I link you but Blogger is AGAIN being a douche and screwing up my linking. Instead cut and copy the below stuff to check out the awesome.

http://www.temptalia.com/china-glaze-hunger-games-collection-reviews-photos-swatches-part-1

http://www.temptalia.com/china-glaze-hunger-games-collection-reviews-photos-swatches-part-2


I want: All of the above. The only one I could do without is Hook and Line but I want the other 11 so it only makes sense to get the 12th to complete the collection yes?

And I thought Jaz was crazy...

End Game Armageddon

This combo made my eyes look so brown! I usually don't care about the brownness (browness?) of my eyes because they are just brown, no fancy hilights or anything like lucky blue eyed/green eyed people, just blah brown. If I look closely at them they look like chocolate mountain peaks. Chocolate has no tone so in other words BORING mountain peaks. But as I was lining the lower lashline I thought "holy crap, my eyes look super brown! Like light intense brown."

It was neat.

Enough about brown.

I used the Meow samples I swatched yesterday.

TFSICandlelight
Lid + lower lashline: End Game
Outter corner + lower lashline: Armageddon
Crease: Nostradamus
Browbone: Prophecy

Finally a navy blue I like!! I hate navy blue eyeshadows because they make me look like I have a black eye. Not like when I smoke them out with Sugarpill Buttercupcake to make them look bruisy. That's different. I like the bruisy yellow, don't like the dark angry.

Armageddon is an awesome navy because it has a red shimmer. If I blended it more I probably would have lost the shimmer and been left with navy evil, but I tried to keep the red. You can really see it on the lower lashline. The website doesn't have a colour description so here is my version:

Armageddon: Supremely kick ass non evil navy with fantastic hawt red shimmer.






My new camera shows the shades different, mucho darker. LOOK DAMMIT



I have to play with the settings. There are just too many options on that monster :(

Raspberry Lemon Chocolates

That title makes me hungry. *wipes up drool*

I got my ginormous package from Persephone Minerals in the mail a couple of days ago and I had ordered 2 winter collections: Sultry Sweet and Santa's Rockin' Reindeer. Those 2 are on clearance and I tried to link them for you but once again Blogger is being a dick so just google persephone etsy and click on the holiday 2011 link on the left.

errr.. or cut and copy this> http://www.etsy.com/listing/86953807/clearance-holiday-2011-le-sultry-sweet

Sultry Sweet is filled with pretty pinks a few browns/tans and really pretty light shades. The whole set is just fun to look at, like her Chibi Moon one (and if you don't have that one yet, you are totally DISOWNED DUDE :D )

I haven't swatched them, not sure I will since they are limited edition and probably gone soon.

Manda already swatched the pretties here> http://toxid-lotus.net/2011/11/27/swatches-persephone-minerals-sultry-sweet-shades-part-01/

and here> http://toxid-lotus.net/2011/11/27/swatches-persephone-minerals-sultry-sweet-shades-part-02/

The dude and I went to get dessert at some nice restaurant (just dessert cuz we're poor) and supper was pepperoni sticks from Walmart.

Class-ay

So this is the look I did to go eat some pumpkin bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream!!!

UDPP
Inner lid: Buttermint
Outter lid: Ribbon Candy
Crase: Buche de Noel
Upper crease: Cranberry Sauce
Browbone: Burberry Trench with Divinity on top
Lower liner: Annabelle Bronzed (I think that's what it's called, maybe just "Bronze")
Rimmel almost freakin dry glam eyes mascara with lashes bought from KKCentreHK.
Liner Physician's Formula gel liner







Wow, gotta love my lighting continuity...


MINI RANT TIME!

Lookie the pretty colours!



This is what you get when you add a photoshop filter



So pretty! But so not what they actually look like (well they actually look pretty but aren't as contrasty as this photo makes them out to be)

Lately it bugs the hell out of me seeing so many blogs/makeupbee photos now photoshopping every freakin picture, even swatch pics, to make something prettier.

Why bother listing what you used, when you've filtered the shit out of everything and the colour no longer looks like the original?

It's not like you go out side, go up to somebody "oh wait sir, let me throw on my magical photoshop glasses so you can see what I want you to see"

That's lying dude.

I could see tweaking it because your lighting was off but slapping a filter on it because it makes it more "vibrant" when it's totally NOT as vibrant as it actually is, just lies.

There are some blogs I do enjoy for the pretty with the photoshopping, but doing swatches with it too, nooooooo. Makes googling stuff harder when all you find and inaccurate shades. Like different montitors aren't wonky enough.

I don't care if it's used to get rid of acne/wrinkles/etc but when you start messing with the shadows themselves, it's misleading.

Over shopping shades probably hurt the company as well, especially indie when people get their order and are like "oh this is nothing like I saw online" and then blame the company, not the person with the PS skills.

Or maybe not, just a guess. I'm just bitchy today. The bread pudding wasn't that great. I want more pepperoni.

Uncomfortable... Zone

Soooooo it seems the new camera takes good product shots but when it comes to aiming this sucker at my eye, not so fun!

I only took 2 shots because I had to run but both those shots kinda blow so this is what I ended up with





So basically I just kept packing on more and more shades together until I liked it :D





Kingslayyyyaaaaa

In other news, I got some more Meow samples (Ice Blossoms and Misfits) but I feel all holiday swatched out. I would like to do them eventually, but then I have to do the Snowflakes and the Glacial Grove and then I'd be all caught up but HOLY CRAP that's a lot of shades. Xmas Trees are done I just have to crop and post but I'm lazy. Lazy and reading. The Fever series. I wants me a Barrons. Nomz...



I also want to do a mega post with all the Egyptian Treasures sometime. I think I have the whole collection with samples and jars combined.

See that!? I went off topic and then so stealthily hopped right back on the topic train. I only hit 30 pedestrians on my way back but SO WORTH IT.

STEALTH BABY!

CHOO CHOOOOOO.


Here's a pretty star ornament I made.




So much talent I know. I sewed that felt like nobody's business.

Yeahhh I'm basically just rambling now because I don't want to go to bed but I have to. Work blows. Someone win me the lottery. So I don't have to work. And I can sit on my but all day buying sparklies, talk about them, read a bunch and oogle James Deen.
Not to be confused with THAT James Dean, although he was pretty oogle-able.
Now how many of you just hit up Google for more? :D

Yellow Snow

I made it through Black Friday without spending a dime. I was so proud of me!

Then got pissed off at something and had to buy stuff and what better time to buy stuff when it's like 25% off?!? So I broke down and made 3 little orders.

2 Labyrinth lippies from Hi Fi, 4 perfumes from OHWTO
aaaahhhh much better. Thank you shopping. You make me happy.

The look I'm posting today I did last Saturday. I didn't mean for it to turn out so yellow, but it looked pretty cool. I wanna throw Buttercupcake on everything. Even my sandwiches.

Especially my sandwiches.

I used:

UDPP
Lid/Crease: Meow Tetrodotoxin minus smack dab in the middle
Lid Centre: Meow Debauchery
Crease/Lower liner: Sugarpill Buttercupcake
Lower liner: MAC Black Line
Browbone: Burberry Trench
Liner: Physicians Formula gel liner






Frig I really hate my eyebrows. When I think I got every annoying hair, I look at the pictures and swear vehemently. I'm theeeeeeese close to just ripping them all out. But there are 5 days a week I can barely be assed to slap on foundation, mascara and blush, let alone damn eyebrows.

Schweddy Ballz

Here's a look I played around with awhile ago but didn't like. I said the look was balls and my friend said "schweddy balls" hence my title of this post :D

It was supposed to be a cut crease but I accidently blended some of the colour and couldn't fix it. Then I fuckered up the liner so naturally that means ADD MORE LINER! so I did.
And dots.
Dots fix everything.



Sorry for the scary looking eyebrows. I haven't sat down and tried to get rid of all the strays in ages so they're kinda going wonky at the moment.

I used all Meow Cosmetics:

TFSI
Lid: Asylum
Crease: Tarantula
Above crease/lower liner: Blood Lust
Browbone: Full Moon
I think the black liner was just my Physician's Formula gel shimmer glam somethingorother liner.

Abducted by Fireflies

I tried to organize my crap today but that didn't go so well. 1 Makeup company got sorted and that's about it.

THE BEAST



My collection has grown quite a bit from last summer and it's starting to just get ridiculous. I have 2 orders on their way to me and I think that's it until xmas time but then I'm going to try super hard not to buy anymore makeup other than the essentials. I found shit I don't remember buying! NICE!
BTW my sorting turned into "throw shit into drawer with like-items" I would love to try to blog-sale some of my stuff but Canadian shipping to anywhere is stupid expensive.

When I sorted my Meow stuff I found Abduction and it looked close to the yellowy green I've been hunting for! But it's not quite there yet...




I WILL GET YOU YELLOWY GREEN COOLNESS, I WILL!!

What prompted me to try to do a glitter crease is THIS SWEET LOOK by EyeGraffiti. I don't know how she did it cuz mine kinda flopped but go there and subcribe! Her looks are awesome and should have maaaaaany more followers.

MMMMAAAAANNNNEEEEEHHHHHHH


I used today:

UDPP
Lid: Meow Abduction
Browbone: Burberry Trench 01
Crease: Kiss My Sass Fireflies
Inner corner: Meow Radiation
Lower lashline: MAC Blackline with Abduction on top
Liner: Physician's formula gel liner
Blush: My Pretty Zombie MDMA with MAC Lightscapade all over










HAH! Flash made my face uber pale in the first pic. I need to find a finishing powder that likes flash. That would be nifty.

Craptastic books currently reading right here. Holy lordy they are not very good. The cyborgs are basically rapists cuz she's all like "hellz now" and he's all like "BUT YOU WILL LIKE IT AND BE PROPERTY YOU PUNY WOMAN" and then she's all like "YOU WERE RIGHT I LOVE YOU NOW" the end. That so doesn't count as a spolier because that would mean I ruined a story, but it pretty much ruins itself...
