Swatch Spam! E.L.F. Studio line Blushes!

Gooooood evening Zombies!

Did you all remember to Spring forward?! *said with the most amount of sarcasm possible*

Who's ready for a little:


?

 So a few weeks back, when I was visiting my Mom, I found the entire E.L.F. studio line at the K-Mart in her town. Ok, I live in a city twice as big as where my Mom lives and can't even find ELF here. I was floored. So, I picked up 4 of the blushes from the studio line. I'm happy to say, they really impressed me.

At $3.00 these blushes are just gorgeous! Though a little chalky, they do have great pigmentation to them. And the glitter in Fuchsia Fusion isn't overwhelming. I adore their packaging as well. Just small and compact enough to store well.


Do you own any of the ELF Studio line blushes?

*Beautiful Zombie..Robyn*

TGIF Zombies!

Any big plans for the weekend? I have none. period. I lead a boring life. lol

I almost died when I opened an email from Robyn from the blog Stay Beautiful and saw her beautiful zombie interpretation. Not only is the makeup kick ass, I LOVE her hair! Freaking amazing chick!

Hey boys and girls, my name's Robyn and I blog over at Stay Beautiful. When I saw Makeup Zombie was doing a Beautiful Zombie series, I knew I wanted in! So here's my entry:







You can be glamorous when half your face is rotted away, no? Have you *seen* Death Becomes Her? Expiring is not an excuse, ladies! For my mouth, I used toilet paper and liquid latex, with Kryolan greasepaints and a red glitter gloss and my eye makeup is just e.l.f and Maybelline. I've loved the looks so far so get your living dead on, ladies!

You can't tell me this isn't AWESOME! :D Thanks Robyn for making my day.

UDPP all over lid
NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk
Red eyeshadow from Wet n Wild Night Elf palette 1st portion of lid
Aromaleigh "Vigil of Change" blended above and into crease
Aromaleigh "Emergent Beauty" blended into crease

Silly little green LOTD!

Hey Zombies!

I had grand plans to do a "Top O' the Mornin'" look in celebration of the upcoming St. Patty's holiday, but once I got started, it kinda blurred into just a green look. It's OK.... not my best. But I do LOVE "Otherworld" from Fyrinnae.

My bangs ARE purple, but they've already faded into a subtle pinkish purple. I also cut my hair in the "short in back, long in front" but I just let it air dry today, so you can't tell. But hair is a whole other post!

The Goods:

UDPP all over lid
NYX jumbo pencil in "Black Bean" blended into first 1/2 of lid
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy patted onto black base
Fyrinnae "Otherworld" blended on top of back base
Fyrinnae "Dragon's Wing" blended above Otherworld and into base and into lower lash line
Fyrinnae " Madame and Eve" blended into crease (this color really needs a base!)
Fyriinae "Dinosaure Plushie" patted on top of entire lid
Living Dead Grrl "Passing the Star" as highlight
Urban Decay 24?7 pencil in "Zero" to line
Maybelline Falsies mascara in "Very Black"

Cheeks:
Hard Candy "Living Doll"

Lips:
Morgana Cryptoria "Gilded Cerise"

Have a fantastic evening Zombies!

Swatch Spam! A little Morgana lipstick and Crackle fun!

Happy ass Sunday Zombies!

Are you ready for a little:



?

This last week was an interesting one for me. I spent the week with Mom (I had to also attend a funeral), got my hair cut and added purple to my bangs, and located China Glaze crackles in my Mom's small town, (which were hard to find here in Albuquerque!) I grabbed Cracked Concrete and Lightning Bolt (which I keep calling White Lightning. grrrr)

AND then, when I got home, my Morgana Cryptoria order was waiting patiently for me. Goodies galore!

Enjoy the swatches!













I adore these new lipstick shades. The scent is light in each one and they are so creamy and easy to apply, and of course pigmented! I really think for $10.00 these lippies are amazing.



I used Jordana garlic basecoat (no it does not smell like garlic), OPI's From A to Zurich as the base color and ChG's Cracked Concrete over, topping off with ChG's Quick dry top coat.  What an awesome combo, right? I really love these new crackle polishes. And in my head I have a million ideas for color combinations. Luckily, the bestie picked up Broken Hearted for me too!

I hope you're all having a nice weekend. Here's to an exciting week!

Alright, alright, I'll play!

Wet n' Wild "Eggplant Flash" nail polish!

Happy Hump Day Zombies!

Thanks to my best friend Megan, my nail polish obsession is starting to take on his huge life of it's own. I now look at nailpolish the way I do eyeshadow. I stare, I look at shift, sparkle, sheen, shimmer, undertones, and duochromes. I know how and why to use acetone and base coats and I know what water
marble, holographic, and jelly means. LOL

So, when I saw Wet n' Wild's Wild Shine nail polish in Eggplant Flash the other day for 99 cents, I couldn't pass it up. I didn't have huge expectations with it until I put it on. I was blown away and haven't stopped staring at my nails for 2 days. 

Eggplant Flash is a gorgeous eggplant purple with an amazing inner blurple glow and aqua sparkles. The sparkle really only shows up in the sunshine, but the shift is definite indoors as well as out. I absolutely LOVE this color.

I only had to apply 2 coats but decided to go with 3 for maximum awesomeness. I used Jordana Garlic basecoat (my first basecoat, lol) and China Glaze's fast dry topcoat. I have had this on for 2 days and haven't noticed any chipping or really very much wear. For 99 cents, you can NOT beat that!





I hope you're all having a fantastic day!
