Review & Swatches: Kat von D Tattoo Chronicles – Candelabra Edition

I posted this review on MakeupGeek site too, but I thought it might be useful here too :D

A palette with 16 eye shadows and a mascara held in a component that resembles a book.


Full of stories of mystery and intrigue, the Tattoo Chronicles Candelabra Edition looks like a gorgeous, velvet-covered book. Open its pages to see Kat’s own tattoo-inspired drawings and handwritten journal entries about life, love, and beauty. Turn to the last page to reveal a palette of makeup, including sixteen trendsetting eye shadows, Kat’s new Sin-Full Lash mascara, and a large mirror.

If you liked the previous Kat von D palette, you’ll like this one for sure too.



All the shadows are extremely pigmented and the mascara is really good too. The packaging is extremely stunning again, I love the  black velvet, though it’s hard to keep looking good is you don’t store it well. Personally I keep my Kat von D palettes both on the shelf, since they really look like books, so for me they are easy to store.

Every row has shadows that compliment each other, first to use as highlighter, second as a lid color, and to darker shades. And of course you can mix them all you want.

Really beautiful palette with something for everyone :D



First Class,  Sunset Blvd:

Precious, Downtown:



First Class is the warm highlighter of this bunch, Sunset Blvd is warm yellow gold,  Precious is kinda shimmery nude, and downtown is the subtle crease color.

Camila, Galeano:

Black Hearts, WTF:



Camila is the only tricky color in this palette, it works on lid and as a highlighter, but doesn’t really show up in swatches.  Light pink with teeniest amount of shimmer. Galliano is slightly lilac taupe, Blackhearts is beautiful dark brownish purple with gold glitter, and WTF is bold red color.

Holy Bible, Speed Blue:

Oddfellow, Blacksmith:


Holy Bible is the second clearly highlight color, this time cold white with shimmer. Speed Blue is shimmery quite true blue. Oddfellow is beautiful matte black with blue and green glitters, and Blacksmith is black with large amount of silver glitter, similar to UD Oil Slick.

 Helsinki, Evil Monkey:

Nerd, Night of the Hunter:


Helsinki is the capital of Finland, and a warm light brown with huge amount of gold glitter. Evil Monkey is beautiful shimmery kinda nude color. Nerd is forest green with silver glitter. Night of the hunter is matte deep army green.

MUFE = My Ultimate Fall Effort

Hello sweeties!

Autumn sucks :( It's dark, cold and rainy all the time, and my inspiration has gone someplace warm and nice. And it didn't take me with it :(

But I've been trying to bring some color to my life lately:

 My today's look:

(Lashes are Marlliss 088)

And without the lashes:

 Yesterday my LOTD was like this:

 And the day before that I went with purple:

(Lashes Marlliss 93)

As you maybe can tell, I got some new MUFE colors, and now my palette is full:

#09, #92, #101, "#03, #70
#2, #304 (diamond), #83, #41, #48

 Oh, many of you wanted to know what lashes I used in my last post, in this look.

They are the lashes from Kat von D's palette, looking like this in the box:

My black diamond

Hi everyone!

I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have only one thing to blame:
Fallout: New Vegas :3

I haven't really consentrated to makeup lately, but here's some of my recent looks:

Here's my yesterday's look (I took the black diamonds and stuff off before going out), done with AMAZING Kat von D palette:

I've used Kat von D palette also on this one, Taxidermy, Peanut, Hollywood and Tijuana, and redemption at lower lashline:

With my new wig!

Then one older look with Sugarpill Stellar:

And NYX Cream on lips:

And one more older look, done with my new favourite silver/gray eyeshadow, Geekchic Gray Matter:

And my recent nails:

Barbie Volturi and other oddities

 Hello!

I've been way too lazy lately. I haven't even taken pics of my LOTD's :D I also did a makeup for a friend of mine, but didn't take pics :S

But anyway, I'm gonna give you looks for fun. :D I'll start with a look I did for my new sweet lobster jewellery/container/thingy:

Then I wanted to be like Babie, 'cos that girl is like um, is like... like... well she's so awesome and she like has everything and she's like sooooo pretty and all!

Ohwell, it's quite horrible <3

Then Felicia asked me to do a recreation of Twilight Saga: New Moon's Jane Volturi's makeup.
First of all, I have to say I'm really not a fan of Dakota's makeup in the movie, Jane is supposed to be childlike character, not gothlike :S

But I decided to do my take on the look.
So here's Dakota Fanning as Jane Volturi:

I HAVE to point out how badly the makeup is actually done! O_O

Seriously, for starters, didn't they have tweezers? And ever heard of blending? And what is going on under her eyes, is that foundation? Seriously.

But anyway, here's my take. I decided to use gray and black, and my red contacts. I also left my eyebrows quite light:

 

And one pic with blond wig:

And one with my own hair:

Then the same pic tuned to match the whole New Moon theme:

I also have to show you my new jewellery (necklace was in the barbie pics already though):

But that's all this time. Postman didn't bring me anything this week, so I hope next week will bring me something fun!

PS. Would you be interested of a giveaway? I have MSCHIC's AWESOME Face canvas, Mineral Miracle powder, X rated mascara and Astral Shine eye stain without loving home, anybody interested? I might add something else in the package too!
