Selene Loves Wildflowers

I'm on a posting roll here baby!

As promised, I played with some Aromaleigh Mythos today!

I decided to also pair it up with the AL rocks rouge in Wildflower. I can see somebody is trying to find skin swatches of the shade according to my blog search stats :D
I can also see some people trying to find updates on the rant 4 the ugly forum. No I don't know what happened to it. Nor do I care. That was just a place started by bored and bitchy people, to attack others. If I'm going to attack people, I'll do it right here, no hiding and trying to be anonymous.

And with that out of my bitchy system, on to the look! :)

I used:
TFSI
Lid: Selene
Crease: Phoebe
Above crease: Hyperion
Browbone: Damask (Thanks Marcey!!!!)
Lower liner: MAC Undercurrent
Upper liner: Joe black felt liner
Rimmel Glam'eyes Lash Flirt mascara (I think I prefer this to the regular Glam'Eyez, brush isn't as flimsy flop-tacular or rounded)

Blush: Aromaleigh rocks sonic rouge in Wildflower
Cheek highlight: Claires baked "bronzer" that's not a bronzer but I <3 deeply.

Lips: Suds N Sass Hocus Pocus





Daylight attempt shot



Wildflower!!

Hocus Pocus



All glowy and junk :D

Too Faced knockoff

hah! I was in Winners today and I saw the Natural Eye palette and it was just $7. I thought it was weird there was no box and the eye on the cover wasn't wearing falsies so I assumed it was old packaging. Too Faced's model eye is wearing awesome false lashes.

Then I flipped it over and realized it's because it wasn't actually Too Faced and it didn't mention "Too Faced" anywhere on it.

But I had a mini fail and forgot to take a pic of the back.

The names are exactly the same. Heaven looked more chalky in the knockoff. I don't think there were any golden sparkles in Cocoa Puff. And Push Up looked like more of a brownish cranberry shade. I also don't think Erotica had much for shimmer in it either.

I am kind of kicking myself in the ass for not buying it though. Part of me wanted it really bad, but the other part said "STOP BUYING SHIT DAMMIT, YOU NEED YOUR MONEY!!"

So here for your curiosity is the Natural Eye palette, and the real Too Faced Natural Eye palette below (I don't know how to side by side pics for comparison)

Fake

Click on pics to hugeify them and sorry the fake one's pics aren't as clear as the real ones. Fakesies was taken on an iphone that my sir took for me (hence the no back of package fail, I was already annoying him by having him take these 2 lol)

Another reason I didn't buy it even though it was only $7? For the same reason I won't buy MAC knockoffs. You don't know what kinds of shit/chemicals are actually in there. My eyes are bad enough, I don't need neutrals murdering them more!

Would you guys have bought this?

If I wasn't paranoid, and didn't have the original, I probably would have.

Forgot to post! My 80's party makeup!

So I just realized I never did post my 80's look for my friends birthday last Friday the 19th. I didn't take many pictures, I didn't like the way it turned out.

It was supposed to be an attempt to re-create Tina's look but with the colours switched up a bit.

Half of it was done while I was still at work so I didn't have all of my stash to help me out in a crisis (for example, that damn blue not wanting to bright-ass it up for me!)

So bitching and boohooing aside, here's my lil bit of fail for the day

I used:
TFSI
Lid: Neon Yellow from a basically unknown brand I got totally ripped off from (repacks)
Crease: Aromaleigh Rocks Psycho-Candy
Outter blue bit: Aromaleigh Rocks Purple Rain with Blue Spark on top
Browbone: Silk Naturals Sprite
Lower lash line: NYX Pearl Jade
Black eyeliner Urban Decay Zero

Blush: Aromaleigh Rocks Candy-o.

The bit of yellow under the blue was accidental. I didn't even realize it was there until I looked back on the pictures. There was still a bit of yellow on my brush when I tried to soften the edge of the blue. Whoopsie!







So I went the more crazy bright than everyone at the party, but how the heck was I supposed to know yo? I was colouring in Barbie colouring books for last half of the 80's, I don't remember a damn thing.

On a happy note, I scored a Maybelline Eye Studio quad in Sapphire Siren :D My friend wanted it for the party but doesn't wear makeup much so afterwards, she let me keep it.

Time to go weekend it up now and find me a Christmas party outfit dirt cheapo.

Aromaleigh Astronomical Collection

**updated with ordering links

Nope, you're not reading things wrong, there is another Aromaleigh collection!

They were mentioned on Kristen's blog along with some skin swatch pics, and drop-downs to order.

Right now vault shades are just $3.50 and for every 10 jars you buy, pick one shade free. Details on the blogio.




(images from Kristen's blog)

The shades I think looks the sweetest are: Perihelion, Binary, Dark Matter, Event Horizon, Celestial, Azimuth, Crescent, Milky Way, Heliosphere, and Fusion.

***The link to get the whole collection full size or sample size is right hereeee***

The black Friday sales wiped me out and I may be moving in the near future so I don't have much for spare change :(

It sucks, the first time in a long time I may not be able to buy a single friggin jar! Where's the damn money fairy when you need him!?!

I'll just have to play with my Mythos and pretend they are the Astronomical collection in my mind :D

Which reminds me, I have to get my ass in gear and start posting Mythos looks. I'm seeing loads of Spells and Wonderstruck but not many Mythos. To me that collection had the brighter more vivid shades of the 3 collections, whereas Spells was more Autumn toned and Wonderstruck was more soft and sweet tone if that makes sense. I'll get crackalackin!

Go now, release the hounds that is your bank account and buy what I cannot.

Kinda dramatic eh?

Oh hey look. My Canadian is showing.

Meow Sale continues!

It's so hard to stay on top of all these sales!

Meow Cosmetics has extended their 15% sale and free shipping (minimum $$ amount required) until Monday midnight EST.

I suggest you just go friggin nuts and buy a sample of everything Holiday/Winter/Christmastime related

Entire Glacial Grove collection
Almost entire Snowflakes collection (need 2 newbies, and didn't get one of the ones from last year)
10 of the Ghosts shades
7 Merry Mayhems
6 of the 12 Pains
and 1 Winter Spirit, Hot Toddy.

And I'm not talking samples either... I swatched all my samples last holiday time, and grabbed the jars I needed.

Hellz yeah I needed them!

This year I grabbed a sample of everything again. We shall see what number I end up with this time :)

Also! December 1st, next Wednesday we can order samples of the Sugarplums collection and the uber adorable looking Reindeer collection. But they aren't available until the 1st.

Happy shopping ladies and possible gents! :D

If you are a facebook fan check ooot the code there. I won't post it here cuz that kinda defeats the purpose of having a secret code yo! :)


I can finally get the 2 palettes I have been eyeballing all year and Goldilux!
And others. We shall wait when it comes.

Note that orders containing Chromalusts will ship next week. The boxes are getting updated.

SWEEEEETNESS!

It worked out pretty nice this morning. I fell asleep at 11pm but set my alarm for 1am for the Morgana lipstick sale and happened to see Amy tweet that Sugarpill was having a sale. So I was able to squeeze 2 buys in. I shouldn't have but I said fark it. I only get this chance like once a year.

There are pretty pastel lipsticks at Morgana's store and also, GOLD!
It's gonna be hawt with my goldilux.

I have to get ready for work now! Overtime to pay for my impulse shopping, HERE I COME!!

Etsy! Country Home Scents Wax Tarts

I partially blame Elizabeth from Suds N Sass for my new found wax tart obsession. She tossed in a Creamy Pumpkin freebie with my last order, so I stalked Etsy to see what else I could find (her site wasn't taking orders at the time).

So in comes Country Home Scents

The pictures sucked me right in. Especially the holiday/seasonal sampler sets.

I ended up ordering:

1 Christmas Cheer
1 Winter Days
1 Holiday Favorites
1 Autumn Harvest
2 Pumpkin Soufle Tarts
2 Candy Corn Tarts
2 Cranapple Marmalade Tarts
2 Mulled Cider Tarts

$29.70

Kristina was kind enough to price 3 of the doubles as a sampler 6 pack. Shipping was $12 and it was almost exact.

And shipping was crazy fast. I ordered these on the 7th, shipped according to label on the 9th and arrived Friday the 19th. For Canada, this is AMAZING!



Lookie the cute details!!


I linked it on my facebook and my mom placed an order for 2 of the holiday sets in maybe 5 minutes.

Sampler sets of 6 are $5.75 and it's $1.95 to get a set of 2 tarts. DIRT CHEAP.

I'm burning Candy Corn and it smells friggin awesome in here.

So check them out!
