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

Seven Deadly Sins Wrath Makeup


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.

Vassen Ruby Red Contact Lenses Review



Perfect for Halloween! I bought these lenses from Pinky Paradise, a pretty well known circle lense retail website [at least in the cosplay community] for my Halloween costume. They come in prescription strengths as well as just standard, which is awesome if you're a bit lacking in the 20/20 vision department like myself. They took a few days to be dispatched [I think a week, not too long] but after that arrived very quickly given the distance they were travelling, and they came with a free adorable animal lense case, so no need to buy one.

Please check with an optician before wearing contacts, and if anything hurts remove the lenses immediatley. Don't risk your eyes, you only have one pair!



The Vassen Ruby Red lenses are 1 year disposable costume lenses, with a 14.5mm diameter and a water content of 42% which makes them some of the most comfortable lenses I've worn. They do enlarge the size of your eye as well as giving awesome colour change. The one issue I have with these is that they show a lot of my iris near the pupil, this is because circle lenses are designed for asian eyes which are generally dark, so the iris doesn't show through clearly. As you can see from customer photos on the website on darker eyes these look stunning and no iris shows through. Hopefully mine will look better in the dark. They are really comfortable, striking and show great enlargement though, as you can see below.


Sorry about the lack of a full face picture, I'll get one at Halloween, but as you can see I wasn't wearing makeup and I just wanted to show the enlargement and colour of these.

Vassen lenses cost $22.90 and can be purchased from Pinky Paradise online
