EPOCH PHAIL!!!

Something happened to me a few weeks ago that I hope never happens to anyone else, frankly, because its super not cool. On this sad day, I was startled by something, and I dropped my 
Ben Nye "Ice" pigment. R.I.P. lost product.

It landed upside down on my sugarpill palette...
(which allowed me a way to salvage as much as possible)


FML!!!

Never Die Purple Eye

Oh my gosh! 
If you were in Barstow the last few nights, you would know we have been going through a HUGE thunder/lightening storm. Watching from my window, I get a glimmer of inspiration. The clouds were dark and the lightening would cut through like a warm knife to butter. The sky would light up this brilliant violent VIOLET! I loved it...so I re-created it. Im keeping this short and sweet, only one pic, so I hope you enjoy!! 

Products Used:
Sugarpill Poison Plum, Tako and Paperdoll
MAC Fluidline Blacktrack
The Body Needs Blackened Violet
Ben Nye Ice

Stay doll, LOVELIES!!!

Absinthe

Today is Labor Day, so with that being said, maybe I should WORK on getting this new look posted to my blog! This look was not only posted on The Makeup Bee by me but...BUT the page from makeupbee.com was re-posted by SUGARPILL COSMETICS on facebook and, AND, also re-tweeted by sugarpill on twitter. Thus far, that was one of the most exciting moments as far as my make-up work goes! I was super happy.

SO today I am posting my EOTD look from Sept. 3rd 2011. I'm posting it just a few days late becuase I went with a haul blog yesterday. I wanted to spread them out a little instead of posting two posts in a day. So on saturday (9/3/11) I was about to get in the shower. Being the OCD freak I am, I needed to lay out what I was going to wear after I got out. I went with some shorts and my favorite Sublime shirt. 


The bright green wording on it reminded me of one of my newest sugarpill purchases (which was still like 5 months ago). Sugarpill has this Loose Eyeshadow called "Absinthe". It's a yummy, bright, acid-ee green! It will have you seeing "Little Green Fairies" all day!

The products I used were:
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Milk"
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Cottage Cheese"
-MAC Pigment "Vanilla"
-The Body Needs Pigment "Lemon-Lime"
-The Body Needs Pigment "Lemon Drop"
-Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadow "Absinthe"
-Sugarpill Pressed Shadow "Tako"
-MAC Fluidline "Blacktrack"
-MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil "Blonde"
-Maybelline Falsies Winged Mascara "Blackest Black"


Here are some pics of the look up close:





Creating this look was lots of fun and the colors were delicious! So until my next moment of brilliance, I leave you with this! Stay doll, LOVELIES!!

Makeup Geek Haulage

Hey zom'b lovers! This is officially my very first Haul blog post! As you could probably tell by the title, its from the makeup geek online store. The haul contains products I got from two separate orders, just added them together becuase I was waiting to get my new camera and in the meantime I got more stuff from her store. The owner/creator, Marlena, is such (as far as I can tell from her videos) a very sweet person and she does EXCELLENT video tutorials. Everything is simple enough for even beginners to be successful in creating either gorgeous, edgy, colorful or neutral looks. So without any further adieu, lets get started!
The First thing I want to talk about is the brushes. She has her own line of make-up brushes. They are all very good quality brushes, very VERY reasonably priced for the product you are getting.  These are the ones I got:

-MUG Deluxe Foundation Stippling Brush
-MUG Crease Brush
-MUG SMall Crease Brush
-MUG Pointed Crease Brush
-MUG Deluxe Outer-V Brush
-MUG Stiff Dome Brush (MAC 217 Dupe)




Next we can start in with ALL the NYX products I got. I just want to mention something about the palette shown in the picture. The one I chose was very similar as far as colors to a Kat Von D palette I was looking at on Sephora's site, when I saw the NYX one I was pretty excited because I do enjoy the texture of their pressed shadows. Here is a complete list:

-NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette "The Runway Collection" in Champagne & Caviar
-NYX Professional Makeup Puff
-NYX Pressed Shadow in Sahara
-NYX Pressed Shadow in High Light
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cherry



What is next is the Ben Nye pigments I got. I have heard a lot about their pigments so when I saw that Make-Up geek sold samples of them, I ordered a couple to try.  The two I got were:

-Ben Nye Loose Pigment in Cherry Red
-Ben Nye Loose Pigment in Ice



Here is a swatched pic of the pigments (dry and with my homemade mixing medium)


AND Last but DEFINITELY not least...SUGARPILL!!!! YAY! *Applause in background* I simply ADORE Amy, and she has created a very beautiful monster when it comes to her Sugarpill Empire!! Some of the MOST brilliant colors, my fav. eyeshadow brand as of right now and just all around the CUTEST stuff on the market! Sugarpill has solely made it my personal mission to make it to IMATS 2012 JUST to visit that booth and meet Amy! (OK STALKER!) LOL! I was on make up geeks store page and noticed she not only sells the Chromalust Loose Pigments, but she also samples some of them out. With that said, I picked up a few of them that I didnt already have the full sizes off. Here is a list of those:

-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Magentric
-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Paperdoll
-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Starling
-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Magpie




 Here is a swatched pic of the pigments (dry and with my homemade mixing medium) 


I hope you all enjoyed as much as I did, I love having new things to work with, makes this ZoMbEa HAPPY!! Stay doll, Lovlies!
