The final look for this months challenge from Dark Side Of Beauty is inspired by those tireless, poor aiming, soldiers of the Galactic Empire the Stormtrooper.
Stormtroopers were the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, stormtroopers served as ever present reminders of the absolute power of EmperorPalpatine. These faceless enforcers of the New Order were considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and thus they often used brutal tactics as a way to keep thousands ofstar systems throughout the galaxy in line. At the height of the Empire, stormtroopers had effectively become symbols of brutality and terror. With few exceptions, they were distinguished from all other military units by their signature whitearmor.
Used: MAC Polished Ivory over the lid, MUA number 1 above the crease and Maybelline Color Tattoo in Endless Black for the liner. The looks this month have been fairly simple and graphic to go with the uniforms and simple colour schemes of the characters, but I've really liked doing them. Sometimes simple and graphic is a nice step away from all the blending. and Bonus awesome art I found on a starwars wiki here
This weeks challenge from Aqeela was Cruella DeVille, and this is the look I put together
Apologies for chronic bitch face there.
I tried to make dalmatian-esque dots. Uh, yeah.
Used: MAC Polished Ivory pigment on lid, Shiro Cosmetics Heart Attack in crease, Geek Chic Non Euclidean and Collection 2000 eyeliner as dots. 17 Hot Chilli lipstick.
Go check out the rest of the looks over on Aqeela's blog
"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition."
Yeah... I got bored and started making graphics.
I'm going to apologise for this now. I started out just wanting to do a Castiel inspired makeup, but it's kind of escalated from there. So expect a lot of Supernatural-inspired makeup spam for a while. At least I'm slowly climbing out of my makeup rut?
Oh and possible spoilers, because I tend to let my mouth, uh typing, run wild and free when it comes to things I feel strongly about in some way. So yeah, watch the descriptions if you're way behind.
It’s funnier in Enochian.
Poor Castiel, he just wanted to help and instead everything manages to fall apart around him while he watches his friends and family dying. No really. Poor Castiel. Always trying to do the right thing and getting his ass kicked for it, or being blown up for it - literally. He's fallen and died and done everything he can to save those he loves, but it rarely works out for the best. Cas has been an angel, a seraph, a God, a Leviathan, high, drunk, fallen and human, but he will always be Castiel, even in End!Verse.
Castiel is and probably forever will be one of my favourite Supernatural characters. There's just so much to love about the little angel who could. Even when he screws up, and lets be honest he has done a few times, it's only because he's trying to help. There's just something so endearing about him, always trying to help out and he loves people so much, even if his "people skills" are a bit "rusty" and he never understands the reference. He risked everything for the earth, and then some. And he does love Dean, in whatever way you wish to take that. Castiel cares a lot for him, and Angels were essentially created to love in the Supernatural universe. As well as kick ass obviously.
Castiel is awesome. A source of humour, pain and joy. It's just too easy to like him. [and Misha Collins is awesome too!]
Castiel: I found a liquor store.
Sam: And?
Castiel: And I drank it.
Used:
MAC Polished Ivory on the inner corner, Black Rose Minerals Skink over the lid, Innocent + Twisted Alchemy Warm & Fuzzy on the outer corner, Darling Girl The Seam in the crease, Darling Girl Saddle Up as a highlight. The "wings" are a combination of Femme Fatale Unholy and Darling Girl ON-X. Liner is Victorian Disco My Feels.
Eyebrows are George pencil, Mascara is Maybelline Falsies, rest of face was naked.
Great song for Cas here. Great song in general really.
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.
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.
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)
Just
some leopard print fun with a selection of Geek Chic shadows - Captain Tightpants, Antiquetarian, Antedelluvian and Madness [for the leopard print]

I love pink and blue together. Even my nails match!
Ciate Pink (free with Marie Claire I think? Magazine freebie anyway), Barry M Nail Paint in Blueberry Ice Cream.
And as a bonus, since it's EDAW I'm trying to wear silly socks every day so... these are today's silly socks. Knee high stripey ones (and bonus thermals xD - I put jeans on over to go out, I just wanted to show off the socks!)
Sinister on DVD. I missed out on this in the cinema and all the reviews I've seen have been fantastic. Apparently it's comparable to Insidious, which I loved and scared the bajeebus out of me!
Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday! My plans for the evening involve many cups of tea, researching things to spend my birthday money on (>.>) and starting to clear up my dresser and organise my makeup and brushes properly. I might even draft a few cheeky posts...
Birthday face, nails and bonus outfit... you'll see why I'm in no way a fashion blogger!
Just a quick post, sorry!

How did it get to Wednesday already? Blimey.
Well, today was the dreaded dentist for me. I'm not really scared of the dentist but I don't like going, especially when the visit is preceeded by sweat and tears inducing nightmares of being forced to have dental surgery. The kind where you get knocked out. Yep, I don't know what that last cup of chai before bed did to me but holymoly! that nightmare was no fun :(. Neither was discovering I need another filling. I never used to need fillings and now I need them all the time, gutted. I really should cut down on sweets. >.<
Anyhow, here's a couple FOTDs from the last couple of days.
(click image 2 to make it bigger)
Eyes are MUA Heaven & Earth with Mac Polished Ivory pigment as highlight and inner corner, Collection Extreme liner in Navy with Collections Glam Crystals Liner in Night fever over the top. Mascara is Maybelline Falsies, brows are rimmel as is the black khol liner. Lips are Collection Colour Pout in Flirt.
(again, click the second picture to make it larger and see detail)
This is a Maybelline "eye studio colour pearls" marbleized shadow duo I got as a gift from a friend in Canada, I believe the colour is Lawless Lavender. With a rimmel single purple eyeshadow in the crease and Mac Polished Ivory as highlight. Liner is Collection Extreme in Black, with George Glamour'eyes in silver on top. Maybelline falsies mascara as always and rimmel eyebrow pencil.
Yep, that's about it. I really need to get back to job applications now. Don't quite know what I've managed to do with my day? Oh well. Hope everyone is having a lovely Wednesday!
