Murmur

This look incorporates my two favorite colors for my b-day. :)
Unfortunately I was running late so I didn't get many pictures of the look until AFTER the flowers started to wilt. :( Other than that, I forgot my black lipgloss at home, so I had to improvise with Lancome juicy tubes. The pictures with the black gloss were taken after I got back and everything had kind of melted.










Here is a picture of one of the turf dancers:

More Black Lips

I cannot get enough of MUFE's new black lipgloss. I just love how it changes the texture of black lipstick without taking away from the color. The only problem that I have with looks like these is feathering. They eyes and the blush are different from the last post. Also the lipstick that I used is Mac's Black lip mix this time.







Note to self: I really shouldn't wear this color out for drinks unless I have a straw.

Collection Remix: Style Black

So this was actually a bit of a surprise for me. I thought I was going to redo a different collection until I stumbled upon something that I have been dying to get for quite some time: a nice black lipgloss. *drool* MUFE, I love you so much right now.

Black Gloss Swatches

I just had to post this today! I went down to my local Sephora and picked up MUFE Metal Lab 00. Talk about a gorgeous black gloss! This is exactly the kind of black gloss that I've been looking for. I like it more when worn over black lipstick, but it's one of my favorite combos now.

For a comparison with Wrong Spell over Black:

Wrong Spell FOTD

I decided to make this into two posts. I have been meaning to wear Wrong Spell for quite some time now, but I just haven't gotten around to it. This is a fairly neutral look using dark spell. There is no lip liner (which would have made the look dead on) because I was on my way to the unveiling of Tartan Tale.

I only bought one thing from Venomous Villains "Wrong Spell" because (in addition to being underwhelmed) I am holding off for a Tartan Tale. I was invited to the TT launch party near me and I am really excited to all of the different products. I will be sure to upload pictures after I go and give a small review.

Purple Pinup

The end of a busy week. A lot of thinking about homework, independent projects, aaaand... Battlestar Galactica. My roommate got me into it and now I'm hooked. That's why I need to get out of the house tonight; so that I can do something more productive like socialize.

My Fabulous Feline

I thought I'd just post a look inspired by Temptalia's most recent user submission theme. Of course MAC has the new Fabulous Felines collection and seemed interesting when the preliminary information came out, but when you get down to it, this collection doesn't seem like it even holds a match up to things like Dare to Wear. But still working on looks that reminiscent of your favorite feline are always fun.

You've all seen Zorro, the wonderful tuxedo'd cat:


She's quite a princess so I thought that I'd do something that looks as high maintenance as she is. I decided to go for black with bright highlights in white, gold, and white-gold. I tried to do pink lips, but I should have used a lip liner for a fuller color. I didn't want to do a cat eye because I'm sure that's what everyone thinks of when they do feline inspired makeup. Not the best, but it was still fun to do.

Gearing up for fall

Well I am back from my trip which was a very nice one indeed. I just thought I'd put up a picture from yesterday. I liked the look a lot, but I didn't like any of the lighting for taking pictures. Finally I found a way to use Jardin Aires in a way that I like.

Red and Black

Well last night was a very good night. I went to a bar that I know didn't make mojitos, but I stopped by the nearby Safeway just to pick up some mint (just in case). Luckily the bartender was open to making us mojitos. She didn't know how, but she made a really nice crack at it for a beginner. :)

The look of the night featured red and black with lots of glittery sparkly things.
These are red leggings with black lace leggings on top.

Quick Update

Like I said last time, it's just that time of year when everything is crazy with wrapping everything up.
Never the less, I had a chance to go to MAC and get Opulash. It's AMAZING. I have tiny little stumps of lashes and this really colors them and lengthens them. I also like how quickly this dries unlike other MAC mascaras. I hear that people compare it to DiorShow, but since I don't use products by Dior I don't know.

I also picked up Cherry Electric SuperGlass. *LOVE*
Here is a swatch of a custom color (Magenta lip liner, Impassioned Lipstick, Frozen White Pigment).

With Glimmer Glass:


The one drawback to this is the staying power of the glitter. Staying power is a good thing, but something about this seemed to be a little stronger than other glittery products (Dazzleglass) that I've used.

I also love the thought of shiny glassy looking black lips so I worked on making a lip gloss. Then I started using that with my black lipstick and picked up the white Luster Glass. I'm planning on wearing this out tomorrow night.
