Darling Girl Order!

 My whole order. I got 2 samples and a Blush as a GWP. The Darling Ghoul is on the left and the Pretty Mistakes are on the right.

 My Pretty mistakes make me drool. I felt bad removing the swatches.

The Gifts with Purchas. I got she bop, Vicar in a Tutu, and Doll face!

 Candy Corn Pixie dust.

This is extremely pick heavy. I got so much for so little. I love ordering from Susan, I feel super spoiled when I wear her pretties. Everything is so very pigmented that I feel like I should be paying way more for her stuff then I do. I order two collections. I got the Darling Ghoul Collection of shadows but now I'm thinking I need some of her lippies as well. I also got a petite set of the Pretty Mistakes. I LOVE these. I need to use them more.  Also she does not offer witch's brew which is part of the Darling Ghoul collection and she gave me Jeweled Toupe in its place!

Until next time...

New Years off to a good start.

Hey everyone,

I'm diverting from the makeup and nails for this post. I have some really good stuff to talk about and some not so good stuff but thats life. I'll kind of start from the beginning. I really needed a change of pase for this year. I had done so good for myself academically last year that I really wanted to change myself professionally this year.
I finally found a salon that I'm happy in. I the kind of person that is a loyalist and I will stick something out until I get burned even when I know I need to break away. I was a little hisitant at first because I found the job listed on craigslist. I looked up the salon and found I was interested in the product. NO FUMES. Say it with me ladies. I can't tell you how awsome it is not to breath in that harsh color fumes, and I've done quite a bit of color already for only being there three weeks. We went through an intire order of color in a week. Before she got away with ordering every few weeks. I am finally earning my way again. I don't feel like such a lazy punk kid anymore and I feel like I have a purpose again, and not just a hope and dream. I know that I normally go to work with no clients on the books but I always go home with having done at least one client a day. I get the hands-on education that I have been craving. Yes I'm a bit of a klutz but I still get a sense of accomplishment everytime a client goes home happy.
I used to look at life as a grey tunnel. I had no bright moments to make me feel happy but I wasnt having a hard time either. I was just existing. I hate that feeling. the feeling of not really truely feeling anything. I never want to be there again. I have been taking steps like finding a job to help stay away from that  monogamy. Makeup is a bright place for me. I enjoy doing my makeup and then when I'm done I was back to the grey tunnel. I invite you to get out of your own grey tunnels and to take the steps you need to find the light place. The place of contentment and general happiness that I feel, even when I'm pmsing and dont want to be bothered.
I did get hit with a scam, but I'm moving on from that. I would love to do more photoshoots. Unfortantly I already have a full schedule with work and school (I'm working on a business degree now.). I would love to get back on stage and to act again. I would love to work backstage doing hair and makeup for the shows I dont get casted in. I still have a lot of wants and desires that I want to fufill. I also know that I can only take one day at a time. So far each day has left me tired and waking up with a smile on my face.
I would say my year is getting off to a great start. How about you?

Scamed!

Today is a post I am sad to post about. I have been the target of a scam. I was contacted via third party and I responded to it via email. I asked basic questions. I.E. Location, date, time, Model skin tone, and compensation. I wouldn't minded if I was paid in photos to use for my portfolio. I'm new and I have only done a few shoot.

I got this as a reply:

I looked around online to see if this was real or not. I was hesitent and it sounded to good to be true. So I responded. I told them I had to decline due to lack of information. I thought it was a done deal. Well no, not really this "woman" replied and was still trying to encourage me to agree.

This was the most recent of emails and if you notice there is still a lack of information from her as well as to much info from me.

I'm not sorry to say that A.) the english are known for proper EVERYTHING! I had a friend from the UK and she always corrected my english. So the improper grammer and spelling was my first major red flag. B.) This sounds way to good to be true.

What do you think? Too Good or should I respond?

Grimm Collaboration P.2

Yay, a new addition for the Grimm Series. My episode was about Satyrs and in the show the "bad guy" was blue with a beard. I really didn't want to turn myself into a man. So I decided to do my look based on the little frogs he ate to make his feramones stronger. The frogs had a beautiful green body and red/pink feet.

I had been so excited to do this look. I wanted to try an new technique that I had seen Blix, the moonmaiden use a lot. I think I need more practice but over all I'm happy for my first attempt at it.



 Products Used:

       EYES:

Elf Eyelid Primer

Alexeter Mineral Eyeshadow (Romp)

Also this is a collaboration with T over at Mineral and Mascara Junkie. Here is her look on the episode Beeware.

Until next time...

Blurple by BonBon (36)

So I was going through my polish collection and found that I have a ton of mini polishes. I figured I go review these figuring that they most likely won't be that great seeing as they are only a dollar. I was blown away by the quality of this polish.

Review 5 /10

Dry Speed: 1 point- It dried nice, no faster than most polishes.
Application: 1 point- It went on streaky the first coat and for the most part the second coat got rid of the streaks.
Price: 1 point- For a dollar you feel like your getting a steal but then compaired to an NYC which is 13 cents cheaper for a full bottle it's hard to buy these unless you know that you don't wear polishes that much. These will only last for 3-5 full manicures.
Wear: 1 point- I got three days of wear with no top coat. Now that is good.
Opaque: 1 point- This polish covered well enough with two coats.

Until next time...

NTMS Lunar Eclipse

This weeks challenge is Lunar Eclipse. I think this was a lot of fun. I was able to break out my molten metals from My Beauty Addiction. I finally found a good use for smolder shadow that is a pain to work with dry but made an excellent liner for this look. I was going for warmth on the outside crease area as well as on the lash line. From pictures that I have seen of lunar eclipses there was a lot of red from the sun.

 Products used:
        FACE:
Covergirl Liquid to Powder Foundation (Classic Ivory)
Mark Matte Powder (Medium)
        EYES:
Elf Mineral Eye Primer (Natural)
Maybelline Eyeshadow Trio (Chocolate Mouse)
Elf Cream Liner (Midnight)
I <3 Matte Palette (Matte Black)
Hot Topic Liner (Red)
My Beauty Addiction Molten Metals (Smolder) w/ Elf Mist and Set
Hard Candy Take Me out Liner (Abyss)
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara (Black Drama)

 Eye Closed I applied the molten metal wet and at first it was reallu coppery, but it turned true to color as it dried.

Until next time...

New Hair!

Hey everyone! So as you can tell from the title I did my hair again. Only this time I'm a red head. Not sure how I feel about it. When I was younger I wanted red hair so bad. Now that I'm a cosmetologist I know the kind of up keep this will take. But seeing as this isn't much lighter than my natural hair I think I'll be okay. I also have golden highlights to make my hair more natural looking. It's going to take some getting used to but I like it for the most part. I'm suppose to be getting my hair cut on Tuesday. I think once thats done I'll feel better about the color on me.

So what do you think? Should I go back to the blonde or stay with the red for a bit?

Until next time...
