A Pokemon for Halloween: Vaporeon

This is the first look of a bunch of Pokemon inspired looks I'm going to do for Halloween. Today is Vaporeon! Vaporeon is the water evolution of Eevee. I always really liked Vaporeon as a kid, I dunno why.

Please excuse my foundation-less face. :P

What I Used:
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Electric Blue" applied all over the outer corner/crease
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Milk" smudged out all over the inner 1/2 of lid
Sugarpill "Afterparty" in outer corner/crease on top of Electric Blue
Morgana Minerals "Lady of the Lake" center of lid (turquoise-teal color)
Fyrinnae "Polar Bear" inner 1/2 of lid and lower lashline (white gold)
Kat Von D tattoo liner in "Trooper" on upper lashline
NYX Jumbo pencil in "Black Bean" on waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

I'm going to do a bunch of these. Any requests? I'm definitely going to do Mew, Marill, and Oddish(which is what my real Halloween costume is going to be). Let me know! :)

Fierce Black and Gold LOTD

I'm back from DC! Ahhh it was so fun, and do I need to even say Gorillaz were amazing? I'm going to post a few pictures later, but for now I wanted to show the look I did for the show. I rarely ever get the chance to get really glamorous so I took the opportunity.



What I Used:

Face:
Meow Cosmetics concealer
Covergirl "Clean" liquid foundation
Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss foundation
Clinique blush in "Smoldering Plum"

Eyes:
TFSI
Sugarpill "Goldilux" applied wet all over the lid
Sugarpill "Stella" in the outer corner/crease and lower lashline
NYX Jumbo Pencil in "Milk" under brow and inner corners, smudged out
Shiro "Meowth" on inner corner and inner 1/2 of lower lash line
Kat Von D Tattoo liner in "Trooper" (black) on upper lashline
NYX Jumbo Pencil in "Black Bean" on waterline
Sherani false eyelashes

Lips:
Rimmel lipstick in "Vintage Pink"
MAC "Hot House" lipglass

And that's it! I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, I felt pretty! ^-^
I will be posting some pictures from our trip soon. Now that I'm back, I'm going to be doing a Halloween series. It's not going to be like other Halloween things...hah. I'm going to be an Oddish(it's a Pokemon) for Halloween this year so I'm going to be posting some looks inspired by Pokemon for the rest of this month. Just for fun. Be looking for Vaporeon! :) If you've got any requests let me know.

Have a great day!

Face and Nails of the Day and a New Haircut

So I FINALLY got my hair done..I don't know how apparent it was in the pictures I posted here but it needed it..bad. It looks much better now, I think. Anyway, here's my look for today. It's very...blue.

I'm attractive.

What I Used:

Face:
Meow Cosmetics concealer in a mix of Frisky Persian and Frisky Himalayan
Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss foundation in Frisky Persian

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo pencil in "Cottage Cheese" all over lid and inner V
NYX Jumbo pencil in "Electric Blue" on outer V
Fyrinnae "Anemone" on lid
Sugarpill "Afterparty" on outer V and lower lashline (over Electric Blue)
Shiro "Meowth on inner V and blended upwards
Stila waterproof eyeliner in "Blue Ribbon" on waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Lips:
Revlon Just Bitten lip stain in "Twilight"
Rimmel lipstick in "Vintage Pink"

I also painted my nails today. I had to have this Sally Hansen color, it's called "Bubblegum Pink." Here's what it looks like.

I think this color would look great if you used it in a cool design, but to me it looks a little like Peptobismol on it's own. It's definitely somewhere between that, and Barbie. Not really my thing so I took it off. It's a cute color though, and I'll probably use it for multi-colored designs, which I do pretty often.

I'm going to be going to DC Saturday-Tuesday(to see Gorillaz, yay! ^-^) so I probably won't have time to post anything until after then. My giveaway is ending Wednesday and I'll probably announce the winners on Thursday. I've decided to give a pendant to both 1st place and 2nd place since I got some new glass in recently. I'm looking forward to reading more of your comments! Tell your friends to follow and enter! :)

Have a lovely weekend!

-Closed-Giveaway!! Featuring Sugarpill, Fyrinnae, and my jewelry!

YAY Giveaway time! OKAY so what I did was sample my 4 Sugarpill chromalusts for you in Goldilux, Darling, Paperdoll, and Stella. I understand how popular Sugarpill is, but a lot of people don't like to buy full size things without being able to try them first. Since the Sugarpill jars are HUUGE and I'll never be able to use all the product I figured I'd share with you! (for swatches click here for Sugarpill and here for Fyrinnae) Yay! Also, in my last Fyrinnae order I got an extra Samhain Spirits (beautiful fall-y brown color) so I'm throwing that in as well.

What I did was take a little scooper (I'm not sure how much it is as far as measurements but it's enough for plenty of uses) and put the product in little baggies.
First place winner will get ALL of this PLUS a glass tile pendant of your choice, made by me! You can choose one from my etsy store here or request a custom one! Here's some examples:
I realize these are Pokemon ones but it can be anything you want! Just make sure you have a picture to give me.

Second place will get just the Sugarpill samples. I'll choose the winners through that random website thingie.

What you have to do:
-Be a follower of my blog, let me know how you follow/under what name and that sort of thing
-Leave a comment here telling me what you're going to be for Halloween this year, or something cool that you have been in the past. :D
-Tell me your e-mail address or some way to contact you so I can let you know if you win! If it's an e-mail leave it in the name at place dot com format so it will show up.

You have now until next Wednesday, October 13th to enter. Good luck!! :D

Soft Blues and Info About My Giveaway!

Giveaway stuff first! So, I promised you all I would do a Sugarpill sample giveaway as soon as I reached 50 followers and damn it I meant it. Well, I logged in today and I have exactly 50! I will make the giveaway post either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have. The Sugarpill colors I have to offer are Goldilux, Darling, Paperdoll, and Stella. Three of the four are from the new colors so this is a great chance for you to try them! I'm going to put around 1/4 tsp of product, give or take, into baggies and I'll probably have 2 sets.

ANYWAY. Here's a look I did a week or so ago.


What I used:

Face:
Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss foundation in Frisky Persian

Eyes:
TFSI
Fyrinnae "Anemone" center of lid
Fyrinnae "Strip Poker" outer corner/crease
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Milk" inner corners and underneath brow
Jordana FabuLiner in black on lashline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Lips:
Fyrinnae "Shangri-La" lip luster

This was done before school, so it's not the neatest but I liked the colors. Anemone is so pretty, I'm in love with it. Probably one of my new favorites.

Oh. And here are the cupcakes I made for Caleb for his birthday. They were chocolate chip with an egg-less cookie dough filling...yes...they were incredible. Though, I won't say how much butter I used in them.. O.O

Shiro Cosmetics! (swatches!)

I finally ordered from Shiro! Woot! I've been meaning to for a really long time now, and since I sold a couple things this past week I was finally able to pick up a few things. Can I just say that I think Pokemon eyeshadow is the coolest thing EVAR? You could say I like Pokemon..I mean I think I'm going to be Oddish for Halloween. Check out my Meowth, Gengar, Pikachu and Raichu pendants. Yeah..I'm a fan. I ordered on Thursday and received everything Monday! I'm pretty sure it was shipped the same day I ordered, which is pretty impressive. I always appreciate quick shipping. Look how cute everything was wrapped!

What I bought was 5 mini jars of Spinarak (liight light shimmery green), Sudowoodo(medium brown with a bit of green/gray to it), S.S. Anne(gorgeous bronz-y brown), Budew(green with a gold shimmer) and Articuno(super shimmery light powder blue). I also got a full size of Meowth which is a beautiful shimmery off-white. I'm really glad I got a full size of it because it's really pretty and versatile. I received 3 free samples of Dunsparce(light yellow with pink sparks), Jigglypuff(shimmery pinkish lavender), and Magneton(super sparkly dark blue/purple). They all came with sifters. I used to hate sifters until I spilled one of my favorite Fyrinnae colors all in my car. Now they're my best friend. >.>

I poured one of the free samples I got (Dunsparce) into a jar, partly to see how much I got but also because I hate how messy they are in the baggies. Look how much product come with the baggie samples! That's a lot! I'm definitely going to be ordering some of these!

I did a look using the more neutral colors I got. This is using Sudowoodo on the crease, SS Anne on the outer half of the lid, Meowth on the inner half of the lid, and Spinarak on the lower lashline.Love! These are really, really great eyeshadows I definitely recommend them. Not to mention amazing customer service..I'll definitely be buying from Shiro again.

I love you, readers! Here are your swatches! ^-^ I definitely recommend full sizing the image since there are so many squished together on my arm. My favorites are Spinarak, Meowth, and Jigglypuff! :)

Tried Shiro yet? What do you think? I'm curious to know what colors you guys recommend! ^-^

Neutral EOTD Using Fyrinnae

OK. Usually, I hate brown. I don't like brown clothes, and I don't like brown makeup. Even though it looks "OMGZ SO GREAT" with my eyes/skin tone, I just think it's boring. HOWEVER, Fyrinnae cured me of this...as far as eyeshadow goes, anyway. Samhain Spirits is a really gorgeous brown and I was happy to try it out today.




What I used:
TFSI
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Yogurt" on the outer corner/crease
Fyrinnae "Samhain Spirits" in crease
Fyrinnae "Polar Bear" all over the lid
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Cottage Cheese" on inner corner and underneath brow

I was rockin' the natural look today, I dunno what got into me. In other news, I ordered some Aromaleigh stuff today. I got 3 shadows from the Ciao Italia collection "Puffo" "Bacio" and "Amarena." I was unable to discover Aromaleigh before they decided they were closing so this will be my first and possibly only order. I'm going to try and get some from the new collections they are releasing, though, but I'll have to see how much money I have. I'm excited to get these, I've heard nothing but great things! :)

I'll leave you with some adorable-ness from my dog, Halo.

Have a lovely evening! ^-^
