Darling Girls POTW 3! Jack's Lantern

This is my favorite time of year. The chill in the air, the smell of wet dirt and concrete. PUMPKIN ALL THE THINGS!!! The excitement of holidays to come. It's magical. I know Halloween is still a few weeks off but my pick this week was certainly influenced by it. I was originally going to do something a little more art than wearable. I mean, tis the season! But.. I ended up with something I consider tame, and very wearable.

POTW means I get to choose one of my most favorite shades to go on SALE for all of you beauties to purchase this week only!

My pick of the week is :
Jack's Lantern

This is a must have, staple DG shade. It's a gorgeous blackened purple with a coppery shimmer & metallic reddish-purple glow. I think it's just perfect for fall.

What I used:

BFTE: Starstruck - high crease & inner lower lash line
Darling Girl Cosmetics: Jack's Lantern - crease & outer 1/3 of lid , outer lower lash line

Sugarpill Cosmetics: Poison Plum - center of lid (as base)

I'd like to take a moment to say sorry for my absence. I really do miss blogging. But I am in serious need of a new camera. The one I have makes it VERY difficult to blog, and so I end up procrastinating and not doing it at all because it's a pain. I mean, this blog was created for me to enjoy and have fun doing right? :D I am asking Santa Claus for a new camera for Christmas and hoping to be getting back to blogging regularly very soon. I miss you guys!

OH! I have been posting my EOTD and FOTD pics on Instagram so if you'd like to see more looks regularly you can follow me there : KittyKaBoom  

I'd just love to be able to interact with you guys on a more regular basis and that's a great way, since I post new photos almost daily there.

So go snag your POTW shade now while it's on SALE! And if I don't see you again before, Have a Happy Halloween and go get out all your makeup and play in it even if you're just spending the night at home with Charlie Brown & the Great Pumpkin. :D

Glamour Girls POTW 2! Into Darkness

I'm very excited this week for many reasons. Firstly, it's my turn for Darling Girl Cosmetics' Pick of the Week! Secondly, it's a fabulous week for sci-fi nerds everywhere with the season 7 finale of Doctor Who on Saturday as well as the opening of the new Star Trek movie on Friday. Which is what I'm celebrating with my look this week. I wanted something I could wear to "Into Darkness" that would be sci-fi/ spacey looking without being blatantly "Star Trek" looking. I think I pulled off exactly what I wanted. (There's nothing wrong with blatant adaptations, it just wasn't what I was going for this time ) Ever since I saw the first little teaser trailer, I was squeeing like any fangirl would. and OMG did you get to see the extra long, extended trailer I saw prior to the first part of "The Hobbit" film, *drool* I was salivating, I had hoped it was some sort of mix up and we were getting a super secret double feature. Nope.  Needless to say.. I'm stoked to see the movie. I'll be wearing this look to see the film.

POTW means I get to choose one of my most favorite shades to go on SALE for all of you beauties to purchase this week only!

My pick of the week is :
Lizard Spock

I've used this shade so many times in so many looks. It's so lovely, especially with hazel or brown eyes. Heck as long as you have eyes it'll make 'em look pretty! (I'm looking at you visor wearers! *wink*) It's not only the perfect shade of med -dark green, its golden sparkle and awesome metallic flashes when foiled is just spectacular. It's a logical choice Captain. 

 

What I used:

BFTE: Starstruck - high crease & inner lower lash line
Darling Girl Cosmetics: It's Showtime - lower crease
Wet n Wild MegaEyes Creme Eyeliner: Black -base

Darling Girl Cosmetics: Lizard Spock - inner 1/2 lid and outer lower lash line

Darling Girl Cosmetics: Bioexorcist - outer 1/2 lid
Darling Girl Cosmetics: Aziza - middle spot accent (no base, foiled over Darling Girl Glitter Glue)
Darling Girl Cosmetics: Corpse Candle - Highlight

Wet n Wild MegaEyes Creme Eyeliner: Black - waterline
Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum Express Mascara: Very Black

And just to make sure my look is complete and spaced out: 

Nails: Zoya : Storm 

(scattered holographic black, SO - so gorgeous! I think Uhura would look AWESOME in this shade)

Necklace: The KaBoom Nebula - by: Whimsy Beading 

(See the birth story of this sparkly, based on my favorite nebulae + see photos and read my review HERE )

Wrist watch: 

1998 Star Trek Collectible Watch, 

with U.S.S Enterprise (NCC-1701) second hand that orbits around the watch 

*** Why yes... it does play the theme song! *wink* 

Oh what? You came here for my eye look. LoL.. okay okay.. here's my makeup look! FINALLY.

Natural Light

Flash

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." a great Vulcan once said.. and  Lizard Spock is a shade MANY should have.. so I thought it was perfectly logical for it to be my choice for POTW! :D  *GO GET YOUR NERD GIRL ON!* wheeeeeee!

Indoor Light. (I think this one shows the colors the best) 

Glamour Girls POTW!

This means I get to choose one of my most favorite shades to go on sale for all of you beauties to purchase this week! :D

My pick of the week is : 

Verdant Dream
Verdant Dream is one of my all time favorite DGC pigments. It's just stunning. If you don't own this one, you are surely missing out. SO hard to capture its beauty on camera.. It's a beautiful mint green that has a beautiful violet sheen and sometimes even looks like its shifting to a soft powder blue. 

Beautiful Bokeh shot of the pretty blue & violet sparklies

Darling Girl Cosmetics: Lizard Spock - crease & outer lower lash line
