Notoriously Morbid Halloween Look!

Today I have a Notoriously Morbid look using some of the new Halloween 2013 collection! I used Bram from the Bitten Coffin set in the inner corner and to blend out the crease, Cry Wolf Cry on the inner half of the lid, I Am Afflicted on the outer half of the lid (both from the Gallow's Hill collection inspired by The Salem Witch Trials of 1692), and Hallow's Eve in the crease.

Notoriously Morbid Look!

Hey guys, this is just a quick post of a look I did about a month ago using Notoriously Morbid Cosmetics (review, swatches, and look HERE!).

For this look I used:
ELF Eyelid primer
Darling Girl Glitter Glue
Wet n Wild Brulee on the browbone
Notoriously Morbid Big Bird Must Die on the inner corner
NM Morgana on the lid
NM Dita in the crease
WnW black liquid liner
Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara

 **I received 8 eyeshadows from NM for free, in exchange for a review on my blog. As always, these are my 100% honest and personal thoughts on the company and products.**

Wet n Wild Spoiled nail polish Ants In My Pants

Just a quick mani from around Halloween time. This is basecoat, 2 coats of China Glaze Velvet Bow, 1 coat of Spoiled Ants In My Pants (AIMP) and topcoat. I believe I only used one coat of topcoat for these pictures. AIMP is a repromote of last years limited edition Wet n Wild fast dry collection for Halloween called Behind Closed Doors. It's also a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slipper nail polish.




And this is 2 coats of China Glaze Velvet Bow before adding Spoiled AIMP.

Femme Fatale Friday! My latest order swatched!

A couple weeks ago I placed my third order with Femme Fatale Cosmetics, and like the times before, I received everything orderly and within a week! Which I think is awesome since its coming all the way from Australia. Sophie is running a top notch company, FFC is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites to order from.


Descriptions:

Moonstone: "A sheer white shade with a soft blue duochrome shine and sparkles." The duochrome is so intense its unbelievable! As much as I love the Darling Girl Rainbow Brite 'Buddy Blue' it looks kinda weak next to Moonstone.
Archangel: "A translucent yellow-toned ivory eye shadow complimented violet duochrome."
Heroic: "A soft copper-tinged peach based shadow, highlighted by an incredible golden shimmer." Looks like a pale, peachy gold to me.
Frozen Flame: "A pale amber orange with peachy tones, highlighted by a subtle blue shimmer."
Phantasm: "A pale purple with violet tones and copper orange shimmer."
Faerie Fire: "A soft lavender pink with cool undertones, highlighted by a electric lime gold sparkles."
Hallowed Ground: "A pale asparagus green with stunning red shimmer."
Moonglow: "A pale columbia blue with a prominent golden duochrome and subtle pink shimmer."
Sunfire: "A sweet peachy pink with coral tones and a striking copper gold shine. Not to be missed!"
Shadowdance: "A cool grey with bluish undertones and a scattering of subtle blue and pink sparkles."
Rampage: "A vivid copper red shimmer over a burnt umber base."
Spirit Bond: "A deep midnight blue with strong purple undertones and a shimmery golden finish." I see more green than gold in the shift.
Crusader: "A vivid saffron yellow eye shadow complimented by a scattering of gold and copper sparkles."
Forever Lovely Rose was limited edition for Valentines day 2011.
Rebel: "It is a muted thulian pink duochrome shade with violet sparkles. Rebel is a soft and lightweight blush of which the colour can be built up to your liking." Apparently this is a blush lol, I had no idea so I swatched it like an eyeshadow.

Simple Sunday: neutral Darling Girl look

Today's makeup is a simple, shimmery, golden Darling Girl look.
I'm wearing NYX jep in Yogurt on the inner half of the lid and Pure Gold on the outer half, lower lashline. Darling Girl Bare Nekkid on the eyelid, DG Dulce De Leche in the crease, outer V and lower lashline. Wet n Wild matte nude on the browbone and Meow Apparition on the inner corner with NYC white eyeliner on the inner corner waterline. Maybelline Line Stiletto black liquid liner and Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara in black. For my cheeks I used NYC Blushable Creme Stick Highlighter in Gold Radiance, Wet n Wild Everything Under the Sun bronzer and Meow blush in Aruba.









My new love, Revlon Lip Butters! 



And to finish it off, a dorky pic of me smiling while Marz mimics me taking pictures of myself.

Darling Girl "I Wanna Be Sedated" smokey purple and taupe look!


Darling Girl I Wanna Be Sedated is soooooo beautiful. Pictures don't even begin to capture all the complexities and depth this eyeshadow has. The best way I can explain it is as a dirty maroon/brown with gold shimmer that shifts gold to green depending on the angle. As my primer and base, I used Darling Girl Glitter Glue. For placement I put I wanna be Sedated on the inner third of my eyelid. Pairing it with DG Be Mine on the middle third, Femme Fatale Cosmetics Smokebomb on the outer third and Wet n Wild matte nude to highlight the browbone and inner corner. I wasn't happy with the level of sparkle, so I added Rimmel Glitter Eyeshadow Pencil in Stardust on top of the matte nude. To finish it off, my winged liner is Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper. For my cheeks I used DG Boy Crazy blush, it's perfect if you want a subtle shimmer in a neutral color that won't compete with your dark smokey eye. DG Goldfinger hologloss is the perfect understated, golden, sparkly lip.














2 coats of China Glaze Side Saddle.
 For this mani I used one coat of basecoat, two coats of China Glaze Side Saddle, one coat of OPI Pearl of Wisdom and one coat of OPI Glitter Bit of Music. All photos were taken in window light.
