Under the sea of flowers

Hello sweeties!

Today I really used makeup, first to make my entry for MUG's weekly challenge, and then to my today's look.

I'll start with my LOTD, even though it looks a bit plain in pics, it looked really cool IRL. I used my SMH palettes, there's 1492, Fresh, Teal Tuesday, Walking After Midnight, Rush Hour, Fantasy and Fireflies :P

But anyway, here we go:



Whole look:

Last one is a bad attempt to show my nails, I just LOOOOVE ModelsOwn polishes. They stay wall, cover well, are awesome colored etc.

Here a bit better image of my nails:
I know somebody may think they look messy and horrible, but I like them <3
There's both ModelsOwn Lemon Meringue and Mixed Up glitter polish.
(And my nails aren't pretty. I know :/)


But anyway. I mentioned MUG new Weekly Challenge, this time it's inspired by Plumeria Flower :


When I saw the pic, I know exactly what colors I would use :D

So here's my entry for the challenge:

Previous pics were taken inside with a flash, following are taken out in the sunlight:




NYX Jumbo pencil Milk
MAC Gesso e/s
Ben Nye Sun Yellow
Ben Nye Azalea
Ben Nye Cherry Red
Ben Nye Tangerine
BftE Soleil
Wet'n'Wild Megaliner
Mascara


I think I did pretty good. I have to admit that I felt bad washing this away right after photos :D

But that's all this time!

Colors strike back

Hello!

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I felt horrible.

Plus I started to play Guild Wars again :3

But anyway, back to the point.

Today I started to do my makeup with lipstick, I wanted to do something with RED lips.
I took my NYX Red Head e/s and NYX Cryptonite e/s, and started doing a dark look. Then I noticed, that mixed they look almost purple, and I thought I'd take some Ben Nye Yellow Sun, and some MAC Gesso, and finally I ended up putting some Ben Nye Peacock and Ben Nye Cosmic Blue, and UD Polyester Bride as highlighter :D
Quite a combo :P

But anyway, here's the look:

(this was a bit photoshopped, sorry about that)




And couple full face pics more:
I don't know, I get somekinda Asian vibes from this look, too bad I didn't find our Katana anywhere :/
This also reminds me of Tim Burton's movies somehow.


And my yesterday's look, I wasn'm really in a "makeupmood", so I made a supersimple look with Sleek and UD Bourbon pencil:



Then I have to show my new sweeties, I bought them today. I just loooove the superpale yellow polish! And the middle one is actually really bright deep purple, not that pink that it looks in the pic. And the holographic glitter black one seems really cool too:
And I bought 3 bags of feather too, maybe I'll be using them soon in some of my weird ideas ;D

PS. I won MUG's weekly challenge! Other winner was beautiful SamiGage, check her winner look here: http://www.makeupgeek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31441

Alice in Greenland

Hi everyone!

Today I went with BOLD green makeup. Or teal. Or something.

But I think it was fun to use really bright and bold colors!

Here's some pics:



 

And the whole look:

 

 

  

MAC Painterly p/p
Ben Nye Jade pigm.(lid, blended upwards)
Ben Nye Tangerine pigment (Above crease, blended well)
MAC Gesso eyeshadow (Highlight)
Ben Nye Iced Gold pigm. (Highlight + blending + lower inner corner)
Kat von D Lucifer (outer corner)
Make Up Store Old Moss pencil (upper & lower lashline)
MAC Blacktrack fluidline (upper lashline + waterline)
Mascara
Grimas false lashes


I've missed weekly challenges so much! I love that I have some specific theme, that I can get inspired by, and I kinda also love the idea of challenge, although I have no wish for winning. I just love to do the looks :D

This time the challenge is to create a look inspired by Alice In Wonderland. I kinda took my inspiration from the Disnay's animated version. Blue, black and white come from her outfit, and yellow from her hair. I also have this weird illusion that Alice wears black&white striped stockings (though I know she really doesn't), so I included that to my look too.

This first pic is a bit photoshopped, with the text and the clock and bit of color/lightness changes:

 

And here comes the actual images of the look:
  

  

  

  

And here's full face shot, unfortunately I don't have anything in my lips. I took couple of shots with MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick, but the photos didn't turn out so well, so this is all I have :P

 

NYX Jumbo pencil Milk
BftE Clear Skies
BftE Blue Bird
Ben Nye Sun Yellow
MAC Gesso
Wet'n'Wild Megaliner
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
MAscara
MAC #34 false lashes
But yeah, I guess this is all this time. 
I hope the mailman brings me my Aromaleigh order soon ;_;



PS. It's tuesday again, so be sure to check out my MSCHIC blog,  I'm roaming about fabulous MSCHIC skin products!

Little bit of this and that.

Hello!

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I had a "slow morning", and then I went to do a suprise makeup for my friend who had a birthday party.
When I got home later, I just didn't feel energetic enough to go through the images and all :D

But anyway, here comes an update, which starts with my friday's look.

I wanted to use GREEN.

I've had a mission to use my MAC Rated R for a loooooooong time now, but I just haven't been able to pull off any greens lately.

But this time I combined it with some blue, and i eventually made it work:

 

  

I'm actually wearing my "new" contacts too with this look:

  

My yesterday's makeup was actually quite stunning, but unfortunately I had time to took only couple (bad) shots untill I had to run out of the door, to do a makeup for a friend.

So here's the bad pics:

  

 

 
 
  

And this pic is taken 5-6 hours later when I got home:
  

I used MAC Steel Blue, MAC Copper, MAC Melon and StarsMakeupHaven Champagne and Bee's Knees.


Then a look for fun.
I've had this idea of making a Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas inspired look, and I finally managed to make it yesterday. 

I wanted to include the "moving hill" thingie, moon and whole black/white (Jack Skellington) thing all in one. 

Here's a pic of the hill:

 

And here's my makeup. It turned out quite the same I imagined :D 
  

  

And finally my today's look, I decided to use my Ben Nye's to create this sorta sci-fi colored look:

  

  

Hopefully I'll back again tomorrow, possibly with some pics with the look I made to my friend.
And If I'm super lucky, I might get something from the mail too :3

EDIT: 

I got couple of photos of the look I made for a friend yesterday:


 

 
 
I didn't want to do anyrhing dark, and I'm pretty satisfied with the look I made. :)
