Been Gone for awhile....

Life sorta got in the way over the last couple of months, and I ended up neglecting my blog.  I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things and start posting more of my makeup looks and outfits of the day.

Today I did kind of a jewel toned theme.  I really like blue and purple together.  I have hooded eyes so sometimes it's hard to really get the color on my eyelid to stand out, so I usually go for a more dramatic eye look when doing my makeup looks.

I have been wanting to play around with this new black and purple wig for awhile, so when I was doing my eye makeup I thought this would be the perfect time to get it out.
I used my favorite brand of makeup on the eyes, SugarPill, except for in the tear duct area, I used a silver eye pencil from Urban Decay to brighten up my eyes a tiny bit.  I love, love love false eyelashes, and today I chose a pair from Velour.
I think today was a day for "news"  I also used a new lipstick that I recently got.  "darling" from Melt Cosmetics.  I am eagerly waiting for them to restock a few more of their colors, and then I'll be pretty close to owning all of their collection.

I got this fabulous new dress from Torrid, and it's quickly become a favorite.  My two most favorite colors in the world are red and black, so when they are paired together, I just about go crazy for them.
I've been slowly losing weight since February and have lost about 30 pounds as of this post.  I'm a slow loser, but I'm two dress sizes down since I started, so I can only imagine how next summer will look.  My black wedge sandal shoes are also from Torrid.  For a "heel" they are pretty comfortable to walk in.   I have hit and miss luck when it comes to heels, so I was very happy when these worked for me.
Have a beautiful day

Gothic Green

Hiya, It's been a few days since I posted.  I had one of *those* weeks.   But luckily I had a chance to play with makeup today.
I decided to go with a gothic green look since I had some new black and green hair falls to play with.
I got them from https://www.etsy.com/HEADRAZOR.   I love how they feel and how they look.  They're awesome.  I know I will be buying alot more from this store in the future.



I also got a brand new green choker from https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/LapieuvreArtBijoux  These chokers are gorgeous.  I have a couple more on order in a couple different colors.  

My emerald green combination of eyeshadow is from KatVonD.   I don't have many of this brand, but I really like the color pay off that they give.
I used my Hollygram lip gloss from LimeCrime to complete the makeup today.   For a Lip Gloss it gives a huge intense sparkly green.  You don't even need to build it up much to give  this deep green look.
I always love to use false lashes as my own are very short and kind of sparse.   These are from Velour a Canadian company from Toronto.
Have a beautiful day :)

A New Wig to Play With

Hiya,
I got one of the wigs that I was expecting in the mail, so that meant that I had to play!
This one is so beautiful with it's two tone of black and red.   I got it from a new place, http://www.dolluxe.com/  and I think I will be ordering more of their wigs soon.
My favorite colors are actually black and red so I was really loving the outfit and hair today.
I thought I'd have fun with the eye makeup and made one of the eyes red and the other black hehe
The red eyeshadow is called Miss Deville and I got it from Pretty Zombie Cosmetics, and the other eye in black is Bullet Proof from Sugar Pill.
I experimented with my lipstick color.  I used a black from Ka'oir and Candy Apple lip gloss from LimeCrime
My eyelashes are called HeartBreaker from House of Lashes.

I feel very vampy today with the look.  The only sadness I had was that I am expecting a beautiful red choker in the mail that would of went perfectly with the outfit.  But that's ok, there's always next time :)
Have a beautiful day.

Beautiful Purple Eyes

Hiya,
Today while playing with makeup I wanted to keep it simple.  I just wanted some really intense purple eyes.
So I used my NYX purple shadow crazyon as a base before I added on, yes, you guessed it Poison Plum by SugarPill.   I didn't want a total dark eye though, so I added a bit of silver to the inner corners.

I've been loving my new Geisha black wig alot lately.  I think it really suits my whimsical romantic side.
Lately I've had fans and or critics ask me if I would consider my makeup looks "wearable".   Of course I do.  I know that some of my color schemes are pretty bold and full of color, but I view makeup as a way to express ones self.

The very best thing about makeup is that you can wash it off....and create something else, over and over again.   My best advice is to not be afraid to color outside the lines.   Don't worry so much about what others think, as you can only be true to you, and you alone.    Makeup is the paint and your face it's canvas.  Have fun playing with makeup my beauties :)

Summer Romance

Yesterday I felt like spring, today I felt like summer... The makeup I used today just seemed very romantic to me.
I know I've been using my SugarPill to death lately lol..but yes that's what I used again, Goldilux and Bullet Proof  with Urban Decay Perversion liner in the water line.
I got a brand new flower crown in the mail the other day and I've been wanting to wear them and today was the day.  I got them from Voxpopulijewelry

Lighting is kinda crappy on this picture, but I love how it shows off the gold in my eyes and I love love love my new false eyelashes from house of Lashes.   Siren on top and Precious on bottom.
I used BellaDonna from Melt Cosmetics on my lips.   It's such a pretty shade of red... I love red lipsticks the best, and this is certainly one shade that I will be reaching for again and again and again.

Until the next look or makeup review, have a beautiful day.

Spring Makeup

Today was a beautiful spring day, the birds were singing like crazy when I went to check the mail and I found one of the wigs that I was expecting from Geisha Wigs, so I had to play with makeup, even with a sore back  (I get them often boo.) 
I really wanted to be pretty in pink today so I took some poison plum and smitten from Sugar Pill and did some dramatic eyes. In the corners of my eyes I used SP's Tiara.  It's just so shiny pretty.
`
I paired it with Pink Velvet from Lime Crime, I really loved the black hair, pale skin and pink/purple contrast.
I also used these really pretty xo's false eyelashes from Sugar Pill but it didn't really show up in pictures.  I'll have to try and take closer pictures another time.

If I had to give this look a name, I think I'll call it Spring Fling.  Here's hoping the mailman brings me some more fun things in the mail tomorrow. :)

New Lipstick

I have been wanting this Melt Cosmetic Lipstick in the color DGAF for I don't know how long.  It was always sold out, but finally I got lucky and was able to get some.   When the mailman brought me my package today I could of kissed him!
Though I'm not sure if he would of liked hot blue lipstick marks all over his skin. lol
I know, I know, the rules of makeup state that if you do a bold lip you should do subtle eyes.  But I was never ever one for playing by the rules.
I did my eyes with sugarpill today.  They seem to be some of my favorite colors.   I used a combination of Poison Plum and After Party.   and then wanted to use some dramatic lashes, that also came from Sugarpill.   I used Imperial on both top and lower lashes.   For the lower lashes, it's just a cut off section of the lash, to give me cute little wigs.
I did a very bold eyebrow today.  I saw someone's tutorial on how they did theirs and wanted to try it on my own eyebrows to see if it would work for me.




And there you have it.  I have a bunch more packages still to arrive in the mail.  I can't wait to see what the mailman will bring to me next.
:)
