EOTD 02.26.12 Mad Unicorn Pee

Good News Everyone! A new EOTD!

Today's eye started with a little inspiration from Nicki Minaj. I first saw it looking for inspiration for my last look. HOLY MOLY.. have you seen the way she wears yellow? Yeah.. that's my AWE face. LOL! I don't generally take inspiration from celebrities. But when I saw that blue/ purple gradient from her Super Bass video my heart skipped a beat. This is just inspired by her look, I don't have professional MUA skills plus I don't have any mattes, so instead I used lots of shimmery metallics and glitters. It looks really sparkly and pretty in person. However my photography skills have yet to improve enough to capture the beauty of holo glitter on camera.. but believe me when I say the portion of this look that includes unicorn pee is a FABULOUS GLITTER BOMB! :D



What I used:
NYX Jumbo Pencil: Milk - White base
Beauty From the Earth: Butt Naked - Highlight & inner 1/2 lower lash line
My Pretty Zombie: Unicorn Pee - Inner 1/3 lid/crease
Sugarpill ChromaLust: Starling - Middle 1/3 lid/crease
My Pretty Zombie: Mad Cow - Outer 1/3 lide crease
Beauty From the Earth: Midnight Kisses - outer 1/2 lower lash line flicked out to wing
Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara: Very Black
ELF Liquid Eyeliner: #4203 black - eyeliner + wing
NYX Jumbo Pencil: Milk - waterline
Brazen Cosmetics: Peep Show - lips

Indoor Lighting
Natural Light





The only photo where the holo glitter showed at all.

So hope your weekends are going well. Mine is going pretty good too thanks! The power company is coming in and doing some work on Tuesday this week. This means at minimum the power will be off for 8 hours. So my question for you all is WHAT the heck do you do when the power is out? I need lots of ideas! That's a long time without heat, heated food, light, internet, etc... Thanks for looking!

EOTD 10.05.11 Moist Manson

Good News Everyone! A new EOTD!

Today's EOTD is one that was inspired by ... yeah... halloween! :D Im kinda bummed the beautiful purple sparkles didn't show up at all in Manson. I wonder why? I think I need some sort of glitter sticking medium down first?

What I used :
TFSI- Primer
My Pretty Zombie: Moist - all over lid
Black Rose Minerals: Manson - crease
Evil Shades: Steele Green - inner corner & up to highlight
Maybelline Expert Eyes Quad: Urban Scene (White matte from top right) - Highlight
ELF Liquid Eyeliner: #00908 black - 1/4 line top eyeliner +wing
Ardell Accents Lashes: #305
Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara: Very Black
Evil Shades: Corset - Lips




































I love the fall. I'm so happy its finally here! :D The leaves are changing to pretty colors and everything is a bit chilly and grey and wet! So do any of you have any ideas or suggestions on what to use for glittery shadows? I've heard about Pixie Epoxy and just can't seem to get my hands on any, what about that L.A. Splash stuff has anyone tried it out? Let me know thanks guys! :D I know I don't do full special effects Halloween makeup.. but would you guys like to see more dark/dramatic "wearable" makeup like this?  Thanks for reading you beautiful beasties! /hugs all around!

My Pretty Zombie Swatches & Review

Today I have a little haul & review to share with you all. I recently had the pleasure of purchasing from My Pretty Zombie. I used a heartsy voucher to purchase my first order, and was hooked. First order you say? Yup. I have never done this before but literally the day my first order came, I jumped back online immediately to place an additional order, and Andrea was ever so kind as to send me out a blogger pack with my order as well. In total, I am now the proud owner of 13 gorgeous MPZ shadows.

What I got:

Full Size jars:
My Pretty Zombie
Mad Cow
Anthrax
Unicorn Pee
Thundernuts

Samples in jars:
mNg #3
Miasma
Katrink
Moist
Bettie
Monstrous Industry
Amacyst
Grimdeva

Makeup Pr0n: (All over elf eyelid primer:sheer)

Click for more detailed pretties (if you dare.) 
Will not be held responsible for any addictions or random outbursts of squeeeeeeing!
MPZ looks red, its hot pink & Unicorn Pee needs a STICKY base or the glitter doesn't stay put.

MPZ: hot pink w/ pink shimmer, MNG#3: bubble gum pink w/ blurple shift, Moist:creamsicle orange w/ shimmer

Miasma: Buttercup yellow w/ pink shift, Bettie: Teal w/ shimmer, Unicorn Pee: iridescent white blue w/ multicolor glitter

Amacyst is purple for sure, not blue. Grimdeva is more purple, the pearlyness of it is throwing off the camera I think.

Another angle

Thundernuts: Cocoa brown w/ blurple shift & sparkle, Monstrous Industry: Lavender w/ blue shift, Mad Cow: Med Purple w/ blue shift



Amacyst: Med purple w/ purple sparkle, Katrink: Dark pink w/ glitter, Grimdeva: Dark Purple w/ sparkle


Anthrax: Purple to green shift





Swatch Fail >.< : I obviously forgot to take the close up photo of Anthrax in my first swatches, so I went and reswatched it for you guys, cuz its probably my favorite shade so far from MPZ. And I couldn't just leave it out!

Packaging: The packaging was wonderful. I received everything in a tidy little black black with hot pink tissue. I also, now have a small army of cute little bloody fingers. Yay!  I had zero spillage. All containers were sealed. They do not include sifters. 

Shipping: Was extrordinarily fast. This was a major reason I decided to place an order again so fast after I got the first order in. (That and the shadows were amazing.. but more on that in a minute) I was more than impressed. It seemed that it made no difference to her that I used a discount (heartsy voucher) to place this order, and that in itself was a great tribute to her professionalisim and top notch customer service.

Quality of shadows: The colors all apply very nicely for sure. These shadows are unique. I have nothing that comes close to any of these colors. I love the color shift on them all. I do notice that certain colors tend to shift more in the jar/ swatches than they do used in looks. But that could be for many reasons. 1) I'm not using a sticky base, or using them foiled/wet. 2) There's only so many different angles I can actually look at myself in a mirror. etc.

Color Variety: They have a wide color spectrum of shadows to pick from. Especially when you consider that each one of them is multi-dimensional and most of them are duo's. What you've heard is true for sure, the color complexity is absolutely inspiring here. I found her color descriptions to be wonderfully exact. Even when I didn't think yellow could be pink, she proved me wrong. :D

Customer Service/ Communication: Was awesome. I didn't really have any issues with my orders so I'm not sure how she deals with things on that side, however I had questions. She answered them promptly and sometimes even within the same hour. I foresee her as being just as professional with "trouble" tickets as she is throughout her other business practices. But again, that's just my own speculation.

Favorite Colors:
Anthrax, Monstrous Industry, Miasma, Mad Cow, Thundernuts, mNg #3

Summary:
All in all I had a wonderful experience with My Pretty Zombie Cosmetics. They have 5 new colors being released in the near future so keep an eye out for those! I thoroughly enjoy and adore everything I've received from them so far. I would certainly purchase from them again!

So have you shopped at MPZ? Do you have a favorite shade of theirs? Does she carry a shade I didn't list here and MUST have?  Thanks for stopping by!
