NYX Sale!

Hautelook is having a sale on NYX products including their jumbo eyeliner pencils, which if you haven't tried using them as an eyeshadow base, you definitely should. The Spider Web look I did just before Halloween used two of them. Also there are these super cute lipglosses that look like little pieces of fruit and little cupcakes! Seriously, they are so cute. Go get them.

Favorite Products:
Seattle, of course! I am sure that if there was a shade for San Francisco it would be second. I also have a love for matte gray. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think it makes the best type of smokey eye.
Dream House I am not normally into pinks, but I really like the way this looks on the skin.

Unemployed.

I quit my job at the bar, so I've had very little reason to do any crazy makeup. I'll try to do a look once a week at least. Check out the sidebar for a poll for makeup look ideas for the new year.

In other, completely unrelated news: Is it just me, or are there a very large number of Christian blogs on this site? I feel like every time I hit the "Next blog" button more than once I come across somebody extolling the joys of the Lord. I don't know whether it's bad or good, simply an observation. Just as long as they leave me be.

Lazy weekend, here I come!

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas came in the mail today! Look out weekend, Chris and I aren't going to be sleeping! I've never played it, he's super excited. By all accounts this is the greatest PS2 game ever made. WOOFUCKINGHOOO!!!!!

Spiderweb Eyes and Halloween

So here are a couple of pictures of my version of the Spiderweb tutorial by xsparkage:



And here is a picture that Chris and I took before we went out for Halloween. Because my dress is white and fits kind of awkwardly I think it makes me look more than a little chubby, but such is life. We looked super cute anyway!



His makeup took me an hour. I freaking hate making scars out of that stupid waxy-fibery stuff. It's terrible. Hint for next year though: It comes off super well with baby oil! Other than that I think I'm getting way better at contouring, if I had taken pictures of the following night, it was even better! When I have money I think I'm going to go to MAC and find a good contouring color for me. I have cheekbones hidden under here somewhere!

Makeup last Friday.

I'm starting to get better about this. Really I am. Last Friday I did a Purple and Lime Green look, which is one of my favorite color combinations. I want to do this look again, but next time I think I'm going to draw leopard print over the purple section. Anywho, here it is!

I am really happy with the way the eyes turned out. I only have 2 blushes so I can't really say anything about that.

Eyes:

For the lid:

UD Primer Potion

NYX Jumbo eyeliner in milk, blended out

Coastal Scents 88 Palette: Column 3 row 3 and 6 mixed together

For the crease:

I used an angled brush to outline a cut crease with SugarPill Poison Plum, then a pencil brush to drag it up and out to create the shape that I wanted.

For the browbone: I used SugarPill's Tako with a big fluffy brush to blend out Poison Plum and to highlight my brow bone

For the Tear Duct:

I used NYX Jumbo Eyeliner in milk, blended out with my finger, then I covered that using a pencil brush in ELF Mineral Eyeshadow in Angelic. I dragged it up into the inner crease, and along the edges of Poison Plum.

Lashes:

Those are my real lashes folks!

Skin:

Foundation: Face and Body Foundation from MAC

Powder: Revlon Photoready in Translucent

Blush: Well Dressed from MAC

Lips:

Again I didn't put anything on my lips for pictures. I wore a clear gloss because the eyes are so crazy.

I am making this face because my bangs are so long and I obviously need a goddamn haircut.

Unfortunately I can't cut my hair until after Halloween, Winona has long bangs in Edward Scissorhands, I'll curl them but they still need to be long.

God I am so excited for Halloween, maybe I'm making that face because I want it to be Halloween already. Today I am wearing this makeup by xsparkage. The only difference is that I used both a matte black and a sparkly black in Black Tied from MAC. It has silver sparkles and I love it. Lips in Lolita by Kat Von D.

Maybe I'll put pictures up... Dunno.

Droool.

Oh my god. My house smells so good right now. I'm making Carrot Soup with Ginger and Lemonand Apple Dumplings. So the whole place smells like ginger, lemon, sugar and cinnamon. I ate breakfast kind of late, but didn't have lunch till just now. I don't think I've scarfed a sandwich down that fast in a long time.

Anyway! Day before yesterday I got a package from Sephora in the mail. It had the Kat Von D Lipstick sampler set. Oh my god. Looks like a book with mini lipsticks in it. LOVE. Soooo swatch time!!

1. Celebutard (pinky nude)

2. Cathedral (dark nude)

3. Lolita (coral nude)

4. Underage Red (light-ish red w/ blue tones)

5. Hellbent (On the darker side of red red)

6. Rosary (Dark red with plum tones)

Dude. I love these lipsticks. They are super creamy and awesomely pigmented. I hosted trivia for 2.5 hours. That's a lot of talking and only reapplied Hellbent once. With NO PRIMER! The only one it doesn't have that I want is the Adora one that's red with Gold flecks. I'm going to wear Celebutard with an orange-y gloss for Halloween. Celebutard, Hellbent and Rosary are my faves, I would love underage red a lot more if I wasn't a warm-toned kid. Blue toned lipsticks are a little tough for me to wear, not impossible, just difficult. In any event I highly recommend these lipsticks. Check 'em out.
