The Vampire's Brisk walk through the Permafrost?

Hullo!

I should have more time to update this now. I finished reading the 4th Night Huntress book and the newest one doesn't come out until Feb 2011. FEBRUARY! What the hell!?! Ummm, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NOOOWWWW! I'm so proud it only took me a day and a half to read it. I had a dream it ended mid sentence then I woke up all worried. Once I realized it was a dream and I still had a third of a book to go, I woke my ass up and popped the glasses on and continued where I left off. Yep, I'm a pretty sad human :D

Reading these, I've realized I hate it when my mr tries talking to me while I'm all immersed in the story. And I hate any sound in the background. Especially the sound of him talking...

MAKEUP TIME!

This was a look I did maybe 2 weeks ago. It's a bit boring to me so I haven't posted it. Maybe someone will like it for the colour reference come xmas time if these get re-released. That and one of the colours was called Vampire, it only seemed appropriate to post after reading a vampire series. YES!

I used Meow Cosmetics

Inner half of lid: Permafrost from Glacial Grove collection
Middle of lid: Brisk from Glacial Grove collection
Outer bit and crease and lower lashline: Vampire from Dance of Death collection
Browbone: Spellbinding from Dance of Death collection
Upper liner: Joe felt liner of awesomeness






And I'm having so much fun reading the giveaway comments! You guys are so awesome! I should have given stuff away sooner!
:D
Now to go be mopey about Feb/11 being so damn far away.

:Sadtime

Super Fantastic Giveaway from BLIX!!

Anywhosies, pop on over and check it ooot.

Here be an example of goodies up for grabs






Good luck ladies and or possible gents! :)

Gloom be gone

Hi! It's gloomy out and I'm home alone :( Saturday tv sucks and I have no real life friends in this city so I felt like playing around with my makeup. Oh makeup, you be meh fwend.
I only did one eye because I'm not going anywhere and doing both eyes would be just a waste of makeup!

But hey lady, wouldn't doing 1 eye and not going out be a waste as well?

NOSHADDUP!

Here's what I did and used:

TFSI
NYX Jumbo Milk pencil of awesome smeared on lid for extra bright action!
Lid main: Meow Cosmetics in Meow Cosmetics (yeah that could get confusing...)
Crease: Fa La La from Meow's Merry Mayhem collection
Pink above crease and lower lash line: Aromaleigh's Psychocandy
Browbone: Silk Naturals in Sprite
Black liner above: Joe Fresh Liner
Black liner smudged below: MAC Blackline
White line in between those bad boys: NYX Milk

That was an accident, my upper liner didn't meet up (hah just typed "meat") with the lower liner so I pretended I was supposed to do that and plop some white in there. Very hard when the brush seems stupidly thick.








Click on them to explode them to max pixelness and such. You can see out my livingroom window in the first one, through my eyeball! Teehee.

Visit my post before this to enter my giveaway extravaganza and stuff. Or not. That's cool too. :)

Who likes to win FREE STUFF?!?!?

Me that's who, but I can't win this cuz I'm the awesome possum giving it away!

This is a Happy Birthday to me and you get the gift, giveaway. So this ends on my birthday September 17/10 at midnight my time (so I guess that would be Sept 18...)
You know what I mean! 3 WEEKS! That will be the cut off and then I'll use some kind of magical name picker and announce the winner the following week.

I was going to do this a long time ago, but I'm a wicked procrastinator. Some stuff I wanted for the giveaway I still haven't gotten around to ordering so here's what I did come up with!

It's sort of a 50/50 indie/drug store mix. Indie because I friggin love them and drug store because it's Canadian stuff, so hopefully it's new to you if you've won. But if you're a Canuck like moi, and you have the stuff already, that's awesome too :) And you can hock it on ebay or something. Or hoard backups like me...

I guess I can part with 1 :)

Tube of Rimmel Fix and Perfect foundation primer

big waterfall is big

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.......

Mantis in Atlantis EOTD

I'm losing hard core but vote me and make me smile! :)

And to the makeuppy bits.

I had to meet with some jagged torture instruments wielded by a heartless harpy on acid, AKA the dentist. Well not really, she was cool, but it still felt like I should have told her to rip them all out so I don't have to come back for the 6 month check up. What does this have to do with makeup? I don't know, just thought I'd share :)

On to the makeuppy bits for realzies.

I used a shade I've been freakin dying to use since I saw it's gloriousness pop up online. ATLANTIS! Last year when I found Meow I only ordered 3 samples from the Caribbean collection but since blogging and buying copious amounts of powdery awesome, I've been looking at trying new colours. Although the description for this one says "gold" right in it, I must have had a brain fart when picking only 3 and none of them were Atlantis.

How darest I shun the gold!

I used:

Lid: Atlantis
Crease: Mantis (hah! Mantis in Atlantis! KYOOT!)
More crease darkening action and lower liner: Boa
Upper liner: Joe Fresh felt liner (when this runs out and my damn store doesn't ever get new stock I am going to cry my eyeballs out. Out of my head. Think about it.)
Browbone: Pink Sand

Blush: Soka
On top blush: Chameleon glow powder

Lips: Avon Nude gloss stuff










It looked more vivid in actual non internet land. Of course. A horse.


And not makeup related, you need to read Christopher Moore's Fool. It's hilarious! Kind of offensive to some I guess, but I have brothers. I'm used to offensive. If Mr Moore wasn't as old as my dad I'd totally profess my love to him. BUT ALAS. Twas not to be.

That's what my shadows were sitting on in the product shot, my ugly red blankey makes a horrible background. Use a book! :)

ummmmm. What else can I say today.... The bus is still gross. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Red and Blue...SPIDERMAN

No, not really, Spiderman did not inspire this look at all. This is one I've been wanting to try since last year. LAST YEAR! Well, December anyways. I just didn't have ze balls. I saw ms BLIX wear blue and maroon here so I was going to a Pink Floyd Laser show Saturday and felt blue and red makeup was necessary.

That and red and blue seemed to keep popping up on me!
Bitchin' Kitchen goddess Nadia G wore dark blue and a dark maroony-brown in the crease for the "Makeup-Meals" episode (but they don't say what was used, one person said smokey eye from another episode but I specifically remember blue shadow. We're makeup chicks, these are details we NOTICE YO!)
And ms Heather did a look with red and blue here
So I figured, it's about time I get on that!

I'm kind of upset about the pictures again. I could have sworn I did better but the MACRO NEVER LIES! I even did the tape trick to get the severe slant but I even failed a bit on that. Oh well, I can always try again :)

I used Morgana Minerals

lid: Galantha (it's got pink sparkles in it!)
Crease: Bloody Mary
Browbone: Glowing Pearl
Inner lower liner: Zombie Ambrosia
Outter lower liner: Witch's Wine
Joe Fresh felt liner.
