Goth Annie

I'm taking part in the Dark Side of Beauty Monthly Challenge again! Well, when I saw it was League of Legends related I couldn't really say no. Admittedly I haven't played any games in a long time but I did enjoy it back in uni and I do like the aesthetics, even if most of the female champions suffer from female game character syndrome (unrealistic figures and extremely revealing outfits).

The character for week 1 is Goth Annie. Annie being the champion and Goth Annie being one of the available for purchase skins, which got a visual upgrade not so long ago as she was one of the original characters and as such had some very basic graphics. I have played Annie as a character fairly often, and she's immense fun, her ultimate can be pretty lethal - darned bear!

In the time shortly before the League, there were those within the sinister city-state of Noxus who did not agree with the evils perpetrated by the Noxian High Command. The High Command had just put down a coup attempt from the self-proclaimed Crown Prince Raschallion, and a crack down on any form of dissent against the new government was underway. These political and social outcasts, known as the Gray Order, sought to leave their neighbors in peace as they pursued dark arcane knowledge. The leaders of this outcast society were a married couple: Gregori Hastur, the Gray Warlock, and his wife Amoline, the Shadow Witch. Together they led an exodus of magicians and other intelligentsia from Noxus, resettling their followers beyond the Great Barrier to the northern reaches of the unforgiving Voodoo Lands. Though survival was a challenge at times, the Gray Order's colony managed to thrive in a land where so many others would have failed.Years after the exodus, Gregori and Amoline had a child: Annie. Early on, Annie's parents knew there was something special about their daughter. At the age of two, Annie miraculously ensorcelled a shadow bear - a ferocious denizen of the petrified forests outside the colony - turning it into her pet. To this day she keeps her bear ''Tibbers'' by her side, often keeping him spellbound as a stuffed doll to be carried like a child's toy. The combination of Annie's lineage and the dark magic of her birthplace have given this little girl tremendous arcane power. It is this same girl who now finds herself as one of the most sought-after champions within the League of Legends - even by the city-state that would have exiled her parents had they not fled beforehand. via League of Legends

(I do love that her last name is Hastur, Lovecraft references <3)

Used: Barry M Kohl pencil in Black glitter as a base over the entire lid, lipline and for the liner on the lower lid. Victorian Disco Halloween Town over the liner as a black shadow. Black Rose Minerals Unicorn in the center of the lid with Victorian Disco Riot Shield glitter patted over it (kept in place using Darling Girl Glitter Glue). Center lip colour was Shiro Cosmetics Yo Dawg.

As you may have guessed I took inspiration from the makeup Annie herself wears, with a bit extra glowy purple to add a little pzazz,

Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath

 art used for banner is by dahlig, you can see the full series here

 

Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and self-destructive behavior, such as drug abuse or suicide.

Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest, although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy (closely related to the sin of envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". In its original form, the sin of wrath also encompassed anger pointed internally as well as externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of hatred directed inwardly, a final rejection of God's gifts.

The demon associated with this sin is Amon or Satan

Used: Maybelline Colour Tattoo Endless Black as a base, with a black from the MUA Starry Night palette over it, red was For The Horde from Victorian Disco. Lips are 17 Hot Chilli and Shiro Me Gusta for the black. Lashes are a cheap Asda set, contacts are from Vassen.

I really liked the lips with this look, and the shape of the eyeshadow with the spikey lashes. It was great fun.

Couple of Quick Looks from the Past Week

Sorry about the lack of posts, busy as all hell right now. Here are a few random looks, I'll try to remember what I used but apologies if I forget

Victorian Disco Godric on lids, Shiro Attercop Attercop in the crease I think, looks too grey though and Victorian Disco For The Horde on my lips.

Victorian Disco All The Things on the lid, with some Fallen Survivor in the inner corner, Off Is The Direction in the crease.

Shiro Alkahestry on the inner corner, Femme Fatale Dispersion on the outer corner, Victorian Disco Tac Nuke glitter on the outer crease. Blue is George liner I think?

Yeah, memory fail. I hope you enjoy the looks though!

Four Horseman of the Apocalypse: Death

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

— Revelation 6:7-8˄ NIV

Death is the final horseman on the pale horse. My second favourite look I think. Plain and striking eyes, the lips were just a bit of fun. I didn't wear them out haha.

Used: MAC Polished Ivory over the lid, black from the MUA Starry Night palette, MUA Underground liner. Lips were done using Black and White Rimmel kohl liners.

Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse: War

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

— Revelation 6:3-4˄ NIV

War is the second horseman, he rides the red horse. So for this look I used a lot of reds, the gold is taken from Supernatural's War - he wears a gold ring. Plus I feel it really compliments the red. I really liked this look to be honest :)

Used: Victorian Disco Cosmetics Sailor Galaxia on the inner corner, Fyrinnae Scarlet Macaw over lid, Geek Chic Madness on the outer corner and crease, Geek Chic Hellfire above the crease, Collection 2000 Extreme liner in black, George gold liner. Lips are 17 Hot Chilli.

Clones in Gitter

My May 4th makeup that I managed to forget to post. I'm still on a glitter spree, I blame Victorian Disco and Black Rose Minerals for fueling my glitter addiction ;)

Used: Geek Chic Bad Wolf on the inner corner, Victorian Disco Clones in the middle of the lid, Fyrinnae Mystical Hedgehog on the outer lid, Geek Chic Non-Euclidean in the crease, Victorian Disco Barrett glitter over the lid, Black Rose Synth Pop glitter on the crease. Liner is Collection 2000 extreme black with Collection 2000 Glam Crystals in Night Fever and Shake it Up over the top. Lips are Rimmel Apocalips in Galaxy.

Classic myspace face.

ps. I have a tumblr now! It's mostly Supernatural spam at the moment, still need to add more feeds. Feel free to leave links/follow me :)

We're All Going To Hell

aka what I wore to have a few drinks with the boything yesterday.

Geek Chic Cosmetics Hellfire on the lid, King of Hell on the outer corner and in the crease. Liner is Collection 2000 Extreme felt liner with Geek Chic Madness on the outer half and lower lashline. Lips are Why Not Zoidberg? from Shiro Cosmetics.

My skin looks like hell but here it is all put together

Few Looks From This Week

Just a couple of looks from this week, including a couple of challenge looks. I tried my best to remember what I've used but forgive me if I get anything wrong.

For Toxid-Lotus's weekly challenge, Spring theme.
I used daffodils as my inspiration for the colours because daffodils remind me of spring.
Products:
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold as a base, Shiro Chiefest of Calamities (orange in inner corner), Shiro Cornucopia (yellow across lid), Shiro Rupee (green in crease), MAC Polished Ivory (highlight), MUA gel liner in Underground,  George eyebrow pencil, Maybelline falsies mascara, 17 Hot Chilli lipstick.

For Aqeela's Makeup Tag Pink & Black
My pink looks very red, I have zero clue why.
Products Used:
Shiro Wheeeeeee! (pink on lid and in leopard print), unknown brand eyeshadow trio in Diamonds (black and white in crease and corners), MUA gel liner in Underground (liner and brows)

Inspired by Phyrra's Tangerine and Mint look using Shiro's Farore's Wind and Geek Chic's Captain Tightpants

Just some leopard print fun with a selection of Geek Chic shadows - Captain Tightpants, Antiquetarian, Antedelluvian and Madness [for the leopard print]

Kenzi from Lost Girl

So as you may have noticed I'm a bit obsessed with Lost Girl at the moment, and Kenzi has the kind of style I love (and wish I could pull off!). Plus her makeup is pretty awesome and the kind of dark smokey look I love.

See? Awesome style.

This is the makeup I tried to emulate, using pretty much soley MUA products (not on purpose either!)

I used the MUA Starry Night palette and gel liner in Underground on my eyes with the George eyebrow pencil and Maybelline falsies mascara I usually use. I also used the MUA Undress Your Skin foundation. Lips are the Rimmel Apocolips in Galaxy.

Contact lenses are blue three toned funky eyes lenses from foureyez. I took them out soon after as my eyes aren't amazing with lenses and it's just easier in general

Pinkie Pie Inspired Makeup

 
Pinkie Pie

Eyes: Urban Decay Magic from the Glinda palette all over lid, Shiro Cosmetics Wheeeeeee! in crease, Fyrinnae Kurisumasu in inner corner, UD Aura on browbone. Balloons are Shiro's Bubblebeam and Cornucopia. Black outlines and liner is all Collection 2000 extreme black liner. Lashes are Eylure 145.

Lips: Collection 2000 Colour Pout in Flirt, Shiro Cosmetics Wheeeeeee!

Sadly this is my least favourite of the bunch, Pinkie is probably my least favourite pony and I'm not really a big fan of all the pinks. I did have fun doing the balloons though! I think this will be my last My Little Pony look for a while, I may revisit and do Spike and possibly Derpy and Queen Chrysalis (my favourite villain) later.

Fluttershy Inspired Makeup

Fluttershy is a pegasus pony with a light yellow body, cyan eyes and a pink mane and tail. She speaks in a quiet, soft voice. She is sweet and calm, but often very shy around others. However, she can become forceful and assertive if her friends are placed in danger. Fluttershy loves and cares for all animals and is willing to help them at any cost, but is very fearful of many things. Fluttershy represents the Element of Kindness (via wikipedia)

Fluttershy is my favourite from the "mane six". And very like me in that we're both super shy (I am in real life not sure if that is evident on the internet) and love animals. If Luna and Fluttershy melded together the resulting pony would be me - dark colours, socially awkward, shy and animal loving. Yep xD

Eyes:
Shiro Slave 23 over lid, Magic from the Glinda palette in crease and on outer V, TR2 from MUA Glamour Days palette on lower lashline, MUA Gel liner in tribe, Eyelene heartbreaker false lashes, George eyebrow pencil.

Lips:
MUA Lipstick shade 7

Princess Luna / Nightmare Moon Inspired Makeup

I've had this uploaded to Photobucket for a while and only just spotted it again. Oops.

Princess Luna is an Alicorn pony, the younger sister of Princess Celestia. She raised and lowered the moon each night, but she becomes jealous of Celestia because the ponies sleep through the night and thus cannot appreciate her work. This jealousy eventually transforms Luna into the shadowy Nightmare Moon. Eventually, the Elements (of harmony) transform her back into Luna and she resumes her place at Celestia's side. via Wikipedia


I've had this look floating around my photobucket for a while and only just rediscovered it. My photobucket seems to like to take my uploads and stick them in totally random positions in my album, instead of just adding them to the top like a normal thing. *grumblegrumble*
Luna/Nightmare Moon is my favourite character of the series and I think this is my favourite look. I do like dark colours... 

colour change on the lips:

Products used:
Eyes: Geek Chic Cosmetics Daemoniac on inner half of lid, Fyrinnae Mystical Hedgehog on outer half and above crease, Geek Chic Non-Euclidean on outer v and crease. Collection 2000 Extreme liner in black with a touch of Collection 2000 Glam Crystals in Rock Chic on outer half, Eyelure Hed Kandi lashes, Rimmel Black Kohl liner

Lips:
Fyrinnae Conjuror. (it's so pretty on lips, look at the tealy-blue shimmer) :D

Toxid Lotus Makeup Challenge: I Heart Sharks

I love weekly makeup challenges. They're a cool way of getting inspiration and just mixing up what I do. This was particularly fun and quite challenging as I had no idea what kind of make up I could do for sharks!

For the Toxid Lotus Weekly Makeup Challenge
The shape was inspired by a sharks dorsal fin, and the colours were from sharks and the sea.
Products used:
Eyes:
Fyrinnae Work Safe Blue over lid
Shiro Bubblebeam in crease
MUA Gel Liner in Underground on top lid and Tribe on lower lashline
Rimmel White Kohl on waterline
Maybelline Falsies Mascara
George eyebrow pencil

Lips:
17 Lasting Fix lipstick in Hot Chilli

Face:
MUA Undress Your Skin foundation in Porcelain
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in 1


This was great fun and I don't think I did the theme justice, but I do like my look and hopefully I'll be able to do the challenge again next week :)

Holy Rainbows Batman!

So this week I took part in Aqueela's Weekly Makeup Challenge, the theme was rainbows and it was great fun to try out a rainbow look (something I haven't done since College, over four years ago!). Everyone else did some amazing looks too, I love Hanna, Deja and Danielles!

This is the look I came up with:

I'm kinda proud :)
Products used:
Eyes: (from inner corner outwards) Fyrinnae Scarlet Macaw, Shiro Chiefest of Calamities, Shiro Cornucopia, Shiro There And Back Again, Shiro Bubblebeam, Fyrinnae Mystical Hedgehog (crease and lower lashline). Revlon False Lashes in Golden Saturn, MUA gel liner in Underground, Rimmel white kohl eyeliner George eyebrow pencil
Lips: Shiro Intertubes in Magnets

Please remember to check out the rest of the amazing looks here!

Twilight Sparkle Inspired

So here is the next installment in my My Little Pony Series. Twilight Sparkle, the heroine of the series.

"Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn pony and is the main protagonist of the series. Extremely gifted with magic, she is Princess Celestia's protégée, and she once considered study more important than friendship. Twilight studies extensively and takes an organized, analytical approach to solving problems. She sometimes has insecurities about fitting in, and can often let her fears, insecurities, her desire to impress Princess Celestia, and her logical way of thinking distract her, which sometimes leads to near madness or, in one case, chaos. Unlike other unicorn ponies, Twilight can perform a wide variety of magic, including teleportation, force fields, and telekinesis. She represents the Element of Magic, which takes the form of a tiara" (Wikipedia)

I've lost my notes on what I used, but I know I used pinks, purples and a silver from the MUA Starry Night palette as well as Collection Glam Crystals in shake it up and eyelene lashes. The lipstick is one from Maybelline in shade Pinky Beige. I believe it's a mositure one? The label is totally rubbed off.

St Patricks Day Makeup

Quick look I did using all greens for St Patrick's day this Sunday :)

Eyes: Sleek Jet Set (inner corner), Geek Chick Cosmetics Inevitable Betrayal (lid), Barry M Emerald (outer corner and above crease), Geek Chic Cosmetics Eldritch (crease), MUA Single shadow in 1 (browbone) MUA Gel Liner in Black, George Glamour'eyes liner in gold, Eyelene falsies (£2.50 in Asda!)
Lips: MUA Lipstick in 7, Barry M Dazzle Dust in Gold

Face: Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer and powder

Applejack Inspired Look

I love Applejack, she's so down to earth. I decided to try and go for a more wearable look for her, since that's what she's all about. She doesn't worry about getting dirty and doing her job!

"Applejack is very trustworthy and relaxed, but sometimes tends to act stubbornly and can let her pride and her sense of tradition get the better of her. She works in her farm, called Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack has demonstrated her strength and dexterity on many occasions, and she is also very skilled with a lasso. She represents the Element of Honesty." (wikipedia)

Eyes: Maybelling 24hr Colour Tattoo in Endless Gold as a base, Collection Dazzle Me in Jaffa and Geek Chic Cosmetics Captain Tightpants together on Lid, Barry M Dazzle Dust in 72 Emerald on lower lashline, MUA Black Gel Liner, Maybelline Falsies masara, George eyebrow pencil.
Lips: Natural Collection Moisture Shine in Crimson

Lips aside this is pretty wearable really, especially if you're a bit more tanned. And hey, if you're one of those badass people who can pull off a red lip during the day it's totally wearable!

Rainbow Dash Inspired Look

Second in the series, Rainbow Dash! She makes this 20% cooler instantly. Dashie is bright, loud and a total show off so I tried to reflect that in this look.

"Rainbow Dash is very brave and bold, but also brash, arrogant, lazy, and sometimes insensitive and uncaring. She is very tomboyish and hates girly stuff. She thinks reading is for "eggheads" like Twilight until "Read it and Weep." She is fast and works with the other pegasi to move clouds to control the weather. Her lifelong dream is to join the Wonderbolts, Equestria's aerobatic flight team, and she has been accepted into their training program and selected as cadet team leader^. Rainbow Dash's signature move is the Sonic Rainboom, in which she flies fast enough to break the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom and a rainbow-hued shock wave. She works as head of the weather team in Ponyville. She represents the Element of Loyalty." (thanks wikipedia)

Eyes: Fyrinnae Scarlet Macaw (red), Collection Dazzle Me in Jaffa (Orange), Barry M Dazzle Dust 72 Emerald (green), Glamour Days Pallette top row 6 (blue), Fyrinnae Mystical Hedgehod (purple), Hed Kandi Lashes
Lips: Collection Colour Pout in Pout, Barry M lipgloss Coral

Perhaps  not the most wearable look but loads of fun and lovely and colourful! :)
Those lashes are a pain by the way, I know I'm not very good with lashes yet but these were so stiff and straight! Boo :( they're gorgeous as well.

Rarity Inspired Look

Yes. I'm a MLP:FiM fan. 
I've loved My Little Pony for years, I was a pony obsessed kid so My Little Pony was an obvious choice. I do enjoy the new series, as much as I thought I would hate it. Hence a My Little Pony inspired makeup series. I'll be covering the mane six for definite, but possibly Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as well (Nightmare Moon/Luna is my favouite). 

First up, Rarity! The glamorous, picky, style and manners obsessed unicorn of the bunch.

Rarity is a fashion designer and seamstress at her own dressmaking shop, the Carousel Boutique. She is very stylish and beautiful, takes great interest in fashion and clothing design, and often tries to make herself the center of attention. She considers herself a proper lady and often acts in a sophisticated manner and can also be dramatic and histrionic. She represents the Element of Generosity. from wikipedia

Products used:
Eyes: MUA Starry Night palette (Bottom Row 2 over lid, Bottom Row 4 under eye), Urban Decay Flash (outer corner and crease), Urban DecayAura (blue side on browbone), MUA Gel Liner in Underground (upper lashline), Rimmel Soft Kohl Liner in white (waterline), Eylure Sex and the City lashes in Miranda, George Eyebrow pencil
Lips: Barry M lipgloss Coral, Fyrinnae eyeshadow in Kurisumasu! (highlight)
Face: MUA BB Cream, Collection Lasting Perfection concealer

And the whole look:

I'm still working on getting falsies down, but I really really enjoyed making and wearing this look.
