Re-creation Time! Temptalia's Ice Cream Cake

After seeing the look Tempatalia did, and reading the products used, I thought HEY I HAS THOSE! Or most of them anyways.

It was such a pretty pastel magical rainbow look I had to give it a try!

My blending still sucks a bit, I used a brand new little skunk brush for my creases and I don't have the hang of it yet.

I was missing a couple colours that she used but this is the result:



TFSI
Lid main: MAC Juxt
Just above lid, into crease: Urban Decay Peace
Crease 2 and lower lashline: MAC Stars N Rockets
Inner corners blended up: MAC Digit
Browbone highlight: MAC Naked Lunch
Waterline: Bourjois Contour Clubbing waterproof liner in 45 Blue Remix (why it's called "contour" I has NO IDEAS!
Rimmel Lash Maxxx black mascara





I should have gone softer on the Peace and I forgot to bring it down like she does on the outter ends so it looks a bit messy to me.
Still I'd totally give this another shot in the future, it's so damn MAGICAL! :)

And another positive, I used my frikkin UD palette! Here's a pic of the shades I used, check out the palette! (ze rectangles) I've had this for like 3 years! Not even a dent! hahaha. When I hit pan there will be massive amounts of alcohol consumption.

Finally a makeup look again! And CUE THE EFFING DRUMS...

A step-by-step thingy!

So if you want this eyeball...stay tuned.



Note to the people, I am not a pro so it's not going to look perfect, it's just going to look kick ass, however my definition of kick ass may be different from your definition of kick ass (lolcats kick ass, turnips do not) so this is just how I do it, my way, with limited brushes cuz I'm hardcurr like that. Nah, I'm just too lazy to buy actual brushes. :)
All makeup is Aromaleigh unless otherwise noted.

Okie dokie smokies. STEP 1 was foundation and primers and such, I didn't take a pic because I didn't think of it until I slapped on step 2.

STEP 2!: Grab a pretty bright pink, I used Flying Flower, and slap that baby on your lid, not going above the crease or going into your inner corners, leave that blank. Have some of the shadow go a bit past your outter corners to make step 3 easier.



Step 3!: Take a yellow, I used Itallian Ice, and squish that sucker on the inner corners and a bit onto the pink to blend it sort of.



Step 4!: Take a light blue shade, I used Return to Tiffany's, and draw a line in your crease and take it out on the ends (if that makes sense...) staying above the pink. It's going to look stupid as hell at this point. It always looks this lame when you try to do a crease like this, but you're not finished, so keep on truckin'!



Step 5!: Blend that blue up a bit, without disturbing where it meets up with the pink.



Step 6!: Grab a bright green, I used Estranged, and pat it where you faded the blue and raise it up a bit not going all the way to the top.



Step 7!: still looks goofy, but not done yet



Step 8!: Highlight, I used Unicorn because it's yellow from some angles and blue head-on.




Step 9!: With a clean brush, wipe the sides away to even it out a bit.




Step 10!: I wasn't sure on my eyeliner colour, so I filled in my eyebrows instead. It's okay at this point, because you aren't putting on anymore shadow, so you won't accidentally get anything on your brows.



Step 11!: I decided black would be a good final choice so I used Urban Decay's Oilslick and carefully lined the bottom and then took a clean brush and smudged it, so it didn't look as harsh.



Step 12!: Using tiny ass brush (I used a craft brush I bought for my nails and cleaned it hardcore before use) and draw a line going outwards.




Step 12!: Line the top with the black and attach it to the little line on the side. Angle it a bit so it looks like 1 continuous line and not a line, sharp angle, line.



Step 13!: Craploads of mascara!




Step 14!: Wipe off the fallout that the Urban Decay no doubt caused, slap on the blush and VOILA! done and done!

Other Time Murderers

I am a total dork who still makes arts and crafts that 10yr olds make at camp.

I'm talking FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS BAYBEEEE!

That's right! Those bracelets made of embroidery thread. Thousands of tiny little knots. I'm not very crafty though, I can't make letters or pictures like some people can, although I saw a cute penguin one I wanted to attempt but lost the pattern.

Here's my boxes of rainbow awesome, 2 out of 3 of them. You can't tell, but the rows in the green box have more rows of colours underneath.



And here's where I keep my finished bracelets and the ones I'm working on:




Here's some I made 2 or 3 yrs ago now:





And one for my Oma



And the badboys I currently have left




And the ones I'm working on that I'll finish one day.




I'd love to sell these on Etsy but I'll never get what I think they're worth. You can have people sell fucking tshirt scraps knotted into a "bracelet"
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32560139
and it'll go for $30, then you have one of these (4 colour one takes 1.5 hrs of knotting) and the price I'm seeing for these and ones 3x as thick go from $3-$12. 4.5 hrs of knotting for $6?!? Are they on glue? I know the strings themselves don't cost much but the hours it takes to make them, seeing the same colours over and over, makes them worth so much more. I made one for my friend who used it as an anklet and lost it in less than a week so I made another and quadruple knotted it. There goes 3 hrs of my life :D

Mini rant done!

So for now I will keep on making them and plopping them into my lil shiny box. My mom usually ends up getting a couple a year. I don't wear them, they'll get wrecked in the warehouse.

Rainbow-y goodness!

What do you do when you borrow your moms photoshop, on vacation, and have nothing to do?
You photoshop the hell out of everything! I found a cool Kaleidoscope feature on this Corel photoshop and thought it would be pretty kick ass to kaleidoscope colourful pictures. And what's more colourful than eyeshadow swatches from Meow and Aromaleigh?

NADA!

Here's the extent of my boredom. And now my new desktop backgrounds running on a loop (thanks windows 7!!)

Please nobody steal my boredom and take credit for them. I will call on the karma gods to beat you to a pulp. And with that, enjoy! :D
