ToxiKaNdY's Midnight Sunset

So, in my WELCOME BACK ME post from this morning...I said I was going to use ToxiKaNdY's Midnight Sunset look today. Here's the link to the >video<, in case you didn't get a chance to see it earlier. Subscribe to her! She's super talented...and way cute. She doesn't do videos too much anymore...but there's a ton of them that she's already posted.

Here's my version:

Here's what I used:

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Wolfe Bro's white water activated color
Black: I think it's a Jesse's Girl...it looks just like the Cinderfella with the silver sparkles but it's no where near as nice. It was basically a "light black" or...you know...grey. Whatever.
Middle: I used the same Trucco palette that she uses...which was a little difficult for me to find. Coastal Scents sells those duochrome colors by the GIANT JAR for like $4 each.
Light Pink: I used the top left color in the Wet n Wild Lust palette. It's pretty much a dupe for the Yogurt that she uses...as near as I can tell.
Dark Pink: Sugarpill's Dollipop. Best. Pink. Ever.
Purple: This is also from the Lust palette. This is a confirmed dupe of Beautymarked.
Eyeliner: The same Jordanna pen eyeliner I always use with the Black grease paint stick in my waterline (though it's mostly worn out in that picture...it usually lasts longer than any other pencil I've used).
Mascara: Rimmell Sexy Curves (of course) with a topping of Maybelline's Falsies for good measure.
Face:
Revlon's PhotoReady foundation in Shell
Powder: A mix of Coty Powder in Translucent and Mehron's Setting Powder.
Cheeks:
e.l.f.'s blush and bronzer duo: the bronzer topped with their liquid face highlighter in some pink color.
Lips: What else...Carmex.


Here's the full face view:

As always, I look so pleased with life. Pardon my giant pimple. They just love to come out when I want to take pictures.

And the gratuitous artsy shot.

Let me know what you think! As always, if there's anything you'd like to see me do, leave me a comment!

The End!

Makeups. (I'm not very creative, I know...but I'm tired...and my tummy is rumbling.)

I took a ride over to the drugstore to see if I could find some Coty powder (I'm a shiny mess.) and I ended up coming out with almost $30 worth of makeup...and of course...no powder. I did, however get some new pretty eyeliners from Wet-N-Wild. They were buy one get one half off or some silly junk like that...so I picked up light blue, turquoise, brown and purple. I used to purple today...and they are actually rather nice...especially for the price (around $2.99).

I've had this copper eye-shadow floating around since I got all that stuff from NYX in their 50% off sale...and I've been dying to use it with SOMETHING...but didn't know what. Then...whilst poking around in my 88 Shimmer palette one day...I discovered this GORGEOUS purple. (Perfect for my new eyeliner, right??)

As always, there are a ton of links below...so follow them if you'd like to know where I get all my nifty stuffs!!!


Look:
Two Faced Shadow Insurance
Base: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pots and Pans
Lid: NYX Ultra Pearl Shimmer in Rust (I think...I took the little sticker off...)
Crease: Shadow 8,5 in the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette
Eyeliner: Wet & Wild Mega Liner in Plum
Lashes: Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara (<3)
Highlight: Jane EyeZing in Hip Bone


I've been so busy...I regret I haven't been able to blog more. I moved my store recently...and it's just been one disaster after another. I did get a chance to stock up on some of the Victoria's Secret makeup. They are changing their packaging so everything is 75% off right now. I'll have some reviews on that later. I also have a quick review on The Sims 3. Basically, I hated it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to return it...I hated it that much.

But for now, I'm going to make myself a biiiiiig bowl of yogurt and granola and play some Sims 2.

The End.

Makeup, eggs and my new DS Lite!

Hello everyones. I've been soooooo busy lately...but I have been snapping pictures of pretty much everything. I'm going to make this short and sweet with just little captions under each picture or else this blog with spiral on into infinity.

I am not happy with this look, so I thought I'd post it first and get it out of the way. Orange on the top...teal on the bottom. I even LOOK bored...

A rare shot of me with my glasses on. Just a bunch of purples...and M.A.C's Electra in the corners. That shadow is my new favorite eye booger creator.


This actually looked a lot better in real life. Black base...blues out of the Coastal Scents 88 palette, and Interfine Blue Duocrome (also by Coastal Scents) in the corners and outsides of the crease.


My new Mehron palette!!! (Mehron Paradise AQ in Tropical) YAY! I am going to play with this as soon as I finish up here.

Um. This stuff is the SHIT. Hands down the BEST mascara I've ever used. Saw a review on Pixiewoo's Youtube and decided to try it. Fabulous.


The new lipglosses from Coastal Scents. Very nice...not sticky AT ALL. I only got two...cos I'm kind of broke at the moment...but both needed some sort of base. The O'Scarlet because it was VERY drying, and the Oasis because it just didn't last long. But they are cheap...and pretty.

My delicious noms from a few days ago. Eggs over easy with Frank's Hot Sauce.


And this here. This is my new baby! Yay! I absolutely love the crap out of this thing. I've had a DS since it launched...the old one...and the Lite. So my Lite was the original white one. I would have kept it just BECAUSE it was a launch model...but LOOK AT THIS!!!! I can't resist things that are this ugly. I just can't. Plus...it clashes so well with my turquoise case! (Not pictured is the GIANT Gyarados sticker I have on the front of the case...) Boy am I a nerd.

The end!

Quickie 88: Nice and Bright

Today, as I was coming home from work, the man playing the keyboard was outside...so I crossed the street and told him how happy he made me yesterday and how beautiful his music was.

Please pardon the hell out of these pictures. I can't seem to get my camera to cooperate with me. But here is what I did for today. Since all of us at work are addicted to Pokemon again...and I happened to have a pretty rad Budew...I couldn't help but be influenced by the little guy's pretty colors. I know...I'm lame...but to be fair...Pokemon is pretty goddamned fun. This was done with the Coastal Scents Original 88 Palette (links in the previous blog entry). I was particularly pleased with the winged eyeliner. I suck hard at that usually. Today it didn't look too terrible.

After work, I stopped over at my favorite beauty supply place in the whole wide world: Columbia. (They sell China Glaze...it was love at first sight.) I picked up this Mehron concealer wheel...because I'd really been wanting Ben Nye's similar color correcting wheel...but I couldn't remember where to get them online. I was told that this one was really great...but even better yet...that they could order me some Ben Nye stuff should I want it. *is excited*


I also grabbed Watermelon Rind by China Glaze (below). Ever since I got those three colors last week, I'd really been wanting it...and now that I have it on, I know I will get a LOT of use out of it. I think it's my new favorite.

So, since I'm now in love with this nail polish...I figured that I would try out their base/topcoats as well...although I'm not sure there is anything that can take the place of my Orly Won't Chip...we shall see. I bought Strong Adhesive Base Coat and the No-Chip Top Coat. I am about to load up on the top coat...so I will have to post the results later.


Lookit that funky ass thing my eyebrow does!!! Like I have it all Kris-Kross shaved or some crap.

The end.
