My influence: Diablo III. I first played Diablo on the Playstation. (In fact I still have that disc laying around here somewhere). Its a hack and slash / dungeon crawler style RPG.I've waited 11 long years for this 3rd installment of Diablo to be released and so I stayed up on the night of May 15th 2012 for its launch. . . Say hello to my friend error 37. I continued to be bugged for the remainder of the 15th. I think I got all of about 20 mins of gameplay. But it seems to be working fine now. :D I wanted my look to be dark and demonic. I think I've achieved that. BTW.. My photos are not "shopped", I just rolled my eyes back and snapped a pic. I think it looks uber freaky. Enjoy.

Saved my favorite photo for last! :D So.... what do you think? I'd love to do more game inspired looks. I had SO many ideas for this weeks challenge.

My influence:
A yellow and orange rose. .. and of course the Donovan song "They call me mellow yellow.... Quite Rightly" ran through my head the entire time I applied this makeup. I will say this for this week.. it was certainly a challenge for me. I'm not a fan of yellow. I like it in tiny doses.. thrown in just for a spot of color.. I don't think it looks good with my skin tone (accentuates redness) , and to be quite honest.. I'm not exactly thrilled with how this looks. However.. I did try my best, and decided that was enough to at least show it to you guys anyway. Anyone have any tips for a yellow-phobic makeup user? LoL! Thanks for looking!

EOTD 10.07.11 Candy Corn

Good News Everyone! A New EOTD!

Yeah.. I know you've seen this kinda thing a million times before. Well.. I have too, but I've never done it. So here's my version of the pretty candy corn eyes. The liner wing is suppose to represent the curved bottoms of the candy corns, I think it looks neat close up (which was how I was applying my makeup with my magnified mirror) but.. I think from a distance the wing isn't so cute. I think I just over all prefer a pointier wing. The idea of why its there, and why its curved like that kinda gets lost from further a way.. but oh well. Now I know.. and knowing is half the battle. Go Joe!

What I used:
2FSI - Primer
Evil Shades Spectrum Pot: Vitrum - white base
BFTE: Crystal - inner corner/ inner 1/3 lid
Evil Shades: Mad People - mid 1/3 lid
BFTE: Lemon - outer 1/3 lid
Maybelline Expert Eyes Quad: Urban Scene (White matte from top right) - Highlight
ELF Liquid Eyeliner: #00908 black - eyeliner + wing
Wet n Wild Color Icon eyeliner pencil : 656A (White) - waterline
Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara: Very Black
Brazen Cosmetics Lipglaze: Make Out (I put it over a clear lipgloss so it's more opaque than this shows here)

Thanks for takin' a peak at my candy coated eyes today! I think my  favorite Halloween candy has to be black jelly beans. I just adore them. Sugary anise/ black licorice has to be one of my all time favorite smells also. Anyone out there know of any perfumeries that carry something that is riddled heavy with sweet sugary anise notes? What is YOUR favorite Halloween candy?

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!

EOTD 09.08.11 A little Denver Ultraviolence

Hi there!

I recently made my first purchase from the sale over at Black Rose Minerals. I'll be doing a review post about that later, however I got them in the mail today and quickly threw some on (not being able to resist the pretties!!) for my EOTD. :D I think it turned out pretty neat! Please excuse the little bit of creasing I have, I'm having some trouble right now with my primer .. well I think its my primer anyway and I've been getting a ton of creasing lately.  I opted not to use any primer for this look, and of course got a bit of creasing too. Anyone have suggestions for .. like.. I guess I have deep set eyes? Hooded eyes? Im not sure.. whatever's going on with my eyes. Haha! I just need halp!

What I used to create this look:

No Primer
No Base
Black Rose Minerals : Denver - All over lid
BRM : Pegasus - Crease
BRM : Phantom - Outer V (just to darken/define a tiny bit)
BRM : Ultraviolence - Highlight, below lower lash line & to set waterline
Wet n Wild Color Icon eyeliner pencil : 656A (White) - waterline
Wet n Wild Color Icon eyeliner pencil : 651 (Black Black) - upper&lower eyeliner
Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara : 003 Extreme Black - on mah lashes

oooh click on me for Sparkly goodness ! :D

So what are your thoughts on orange eyeshadows? I just got Denver from BRM and Moist from MPZ, these are my first orange shadows and I can tell you, Im really loving them a lot! I think its going to be super fun to play around with. I can't wait to share with you all what I got from BRM! What have you guys been up to lately? Have you gotten any great deals or know about any sales going on right now? Talk to you soon!

EOTD 12.18.10

Good Morning to all of you out in interwebz land! Due to camera non-functionality I was unfortunately able to only snag ONE photo of my EOTD today. Which was inspired by a summertime sunset. Yeah.. you heard me right. I said SUMMERTIME. Yes I realize it's only December, but I needed to feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face today! :D I also wore my hair in the cutest messy side bun today.. I adore it! I promise when my camera quits being a *exploitative deleted*  and just works for me I'll show you guys. Hope you enjoy!

All colors used were from the Coastal Scents Original 88 color palette.

2 Shades of yellow for the inner corner and lower lashline 1/3
2 shades of orange for the center lid
1 shade of the hottest pink in the palette for the crease
1 purpley-wine shade for the deepest part of the crease
1 nude/skin tone shade for the highlight
Hard Candy walk the line liquid eyeliner
wetnwild coloricon eyeline in 656A white for waterline & in between double winged liner (didn't show in this photo drat!)
