 For Challenges I'm not going to list off products used. It will just be a photo entry for the most part and how I was influenced by the challenge. If you are curious about a particular item I used, please feel free to comment below and I'll do my best to answer!

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 06.28.11 Lemon Chaos

Well hello there Ladies & Gents,

I have today, for your beautiful little eyeballs, a look that was inspired by the summer time-like weather we've been having lately. I'm back from my little family vaca, and I had a good time. I melted like a Popsicle in July, but hey.. I like my rain most of the time just fine thank you. I have fair skin, and I'm a gamer.. so naturally the sun often frightens me. I gave in to a tropical look, the colors were inspired by the tee shirt I wanted to wear. It has BRIGHT yellow & Pink triangles on it (and butterflys!) , I didn't use any pink in my look, instead I took the orangey color from where the yellow and pink met to be my inspiration. Hope you enjoy!

Funny Face to make ya giggle!

What I used:
BFTE Lemon - Lid Inner 1/2
BFTE Chaos - Lid Outer 1/2
Face Candy Couture Caribbean Dream - Crease
Maybelline Quad Stylish Smokes #06 Amethyst Smokes, matte white shade - Highlight
BFTE Crystal - Highlight sparklies & tear duct area

So... whats new with you guys? Did I miss anything fun or exciting while I was gone? Do any of you have any plans for the 4th of July? Have you gotten anything new and summery I should know about? Later gators!
