My unhealthy obsession with Max Factor "Fantasy Fire".

Zombies!

Ok, maybe it's not so much unhealthy, but that it's rounding the bend to be that way. :D A friend of mine was in the UK recently and brought me back the very coveted "Fantasy Fire" from Max Factor. Let's just say, it wasn't until I saw it in person that I realized I'd been needing it all of my life.

I've done three different manis in a week using it and wanted to show you each one. :D

The day after it arrived, I paired it with L'Oreal's "Miss Pixie". Miss Pixie is a jelly royal blue. The blue set off "Fantasy Fire" in the most dramatic way, making it flash copper in certain light and blue in others. In natural or indoor light, it looked purple. I wore this mani for a good week before I decided to take it off, begrudgingly.



So, then I realized I really needed to see FF over China Glaze's "Flying Dragon." "Flying Dragon" has amazing blue sparkles in the rich purple base. Because FF is a Neon, it dries almost matte, so I knew that FF would cancel that out and let the blue sparks shine. Hell yeah it did!



Outside/natural light


The thing I forget about Flying Dragon is that it chips SUPER easy and a whole chunk of nail polish came off the next day from one of my fingers. Just an excuse to change my mani!

NEXXXXXXT!


Are you drooling yet? Yeah, me too. Here I paired OPI's "Russian Navy" with Nuf Oh 51 and "Fantasy Fire." I mean, for the love of all things shiny and amazing.

And in the sunlight? Yeah, it's so much better. *sigh*




I've not ever been *this* excited about a nail polish. "Fantasy Fire" has forever changed my life.. (so dramatic) I implore you ALL to somehow get a hold of a bottle. You will not be sorry.

L'Oreal Colour Riche "Matte For Me" and "Lacque-onic"!

Good morning Zombies!

I took a short hiatus from the blogaroo! Butttt, I'm back!

A little while back, I purchased two of the new L'Oreal Colour Riche lip colors in "Matte For Me" and "Lacque-onic" from Target and thought I'd swatch them for you!

I purchased leMatte in "Matte For Me" and laLaque" in "Lacque-onic". 


The lipstick twist up and the ends are easily broken, as you can see on "Lacque-onic". You also have to be careful when putting on the lids.



"Lacque-onic" is a super shiny, creamy tomato red color. While the color is rich and pigmented, it likes to come off....everywhere. It smears pretty easily and needs reapplying frequently. I was hoping it would last a lot longer on my lips. It's an "in your face" red though, and perfect for Fall.



"Matte For Me" is a matte deep pink/berry color. For a matte lipstick, this one is so smooth and not at all drying, which is a total bonus for me. I refuse to wear matte lipstick if it feels like it's suffocating my lips. This one doesn't do that, AND the color lasts for a good long while. I'm pretty impressed and hope to pick up a few more shades from the leMatte line.



Have you tried the laLaque or LeMatte line of lippies from L'Oreal yet? What are your thoughts?

Wet N Wild "Black Orchid" lipstick and LOTD!

Zombies!

I did a quick and dirty look today using Wet N Wild's "Black Orchid" lipstick (508A)! Not much to say about it other than.. HERE, LOOK!









The Goods:
TFSI as primer
MAC "Blackground" paint pot as base
Aromaleigh "Jolie" as main lid color
Matte back from Sleek "Sunset" palette blended into and above crease
L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in "Golden Emerald" lower lash line
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Gentle"

Lips:
Wet N Wild "Black Orchid"

A very Fall look if I do say so myself! Black Orchid may look matte in these pictures but it isn't. It's more of a creme and I did have a hard time getting it to spread evenly on my lips. Overall though, I think it's a really lovely shade.

A few of my favorite things!

Zombies!

The start of a new week! I hope everyone had an amazing and eventful (or relaxing) weekend!

As the air outside gets cooler, my go-to makeup/nail polish colors change too! I want to share with you all a few of my favorite things as of right now, as I'm sure they will all change in another month!

Let's begin, shall we?

RED NAILS!

I've been desiring the perfect candy apple red color for my nails lately. I've had the *perfect* color in my head but didn't have a polish that fit the bill. That is, until I asked my friend Megan! She handed over Zoya's "Isla" and well, I'm hooked! Just LOOK AT IT! I used Manglaze's "Matte is Murder" on my accent nail with Jordana Cosmetics "Sequins" glitter on top. I adore this combo. I'd wear this all Winter if my tastes weren't so fickle and change on a whim. ;)


RED LIPS!

I've worn red lips almost every day this past week. I'm normally terrified of red lipstick because of the size of my lips but have discovered that if I mix the perfect red lipstick with a blue (cool) based pink, it gives me the perfect red without being too crazy! I still need to play around or just GO BOLD! On my eyes I'm wearing L'Oreal's Infallible eyeshadow in "Golden Emerald" and a black matte eyeshadow from Sleek.



OWLS!

We all know I love Zombie related "swag"! But did you know I'm also addicted to owls? My husband gave me 3 adorable owl necklaces for my birthday and I've worn them every day since. He purchased them at Walgreen's for $6.99. (I only know because we looked at them together at one point.)

Isn't he cute?


I'm curious to see what I'll be wearing the shiz out of in the next few months. I wonder if my tastes will change. What are your go-to beauty/clothing related items these days?


 

Happy Halloween! MEOW!

Zombies!

Happy Halloween my beautiful and creepy readers! I hope you all had a wonderful day. I had fun with my little ones "trick or treating!" They got so much candy that we're set for a month....or more.

Here is my simple little cat faced makeup. MEOW!



The Goods:
Black eyeliner for cat whiskers and nose. I used MAC "Blackground" with an angeled eyeliner brush. I also outlined my lips with it as well. The red lipstick is L'Oreals Infallible Le Rouge 10HR Wear in "Ravishing Red". It stays put FOREVER!

I will announce the winner of my "Because I love October" giveaway bright and early tomorrow morning so stay tuned!

Digital Sea, LOTD and Shirt of the Day!

Zombies!

Is it Monday AGAIN? *sigh* What better way to save a "meh" Monday than with sparkles?

Today, I wanted to wear my new Jimi Hendrix shirt that I got last week at a thrift store for $2.00. I wasn't completely sure what eyeshadow color(s) to pair with it, until I put on the ring I'd decided to wear. And.... then this happened!









The Goods:
TFSI as primer
Maybelline Infallible eyshadow in "Endless Sea" as base on main lid
Tick:Tock Cosmetics eyeshadow base in "Milky Way" above main lid

Full shot of awesome shirt. Please excuse the derp face.


A closer look at my ring. My Dad gave this to me years ago. I adore it.


And my earrings of today. The turquoise earrings were sent to me by a friend and I purchased the two nail polish earrings from Bec's Baubles.


And last but not least, my nail of the day. The base color is L'Oreal's "The Muses' Attitude" accented with Darling Girl Cosmetics "Party Favors" on ring finger.


The day ended up being a great day! I hope you all had a great start to your week!

Random Makeup, Nails, and Outfits!

Zombies!

I've had a busy week this week! I first found two adorable shirts at WalMart earlier this week (I know, WALMART?!) and was excited that they were both under $10.00 each. Because of my excitement, I decided to bite the bullet and show you all here on the blog!

This adorable "Happy Owl O' Ween" t-shirt was in the Halloween women's section at WalMart for $5.50! I paired it with a long sleeved black crew neck shirt and jeans. On my finger is a purple and turquoise sterling silver ring. I'm also wearing a Zombie Girl necklace a friend sent to me.  This shirt is so comfortable and cute! 


This shirt made me so giddy when I found it! It was in the women's clothing section at WalMart for $9.88! The top back section of this shirt has ivory lace. the skull is made up of gorgeous pink roses and black glitter! I paired it with a black tank top, black short skirt, and grey leggings. Pretty baller, right? I'm wearing a cute black and white bangle bracelet as well.


Here are my nails from Friday! This is L'Oreal's "Brit Invasion" with Darling Girl Cosmetics "Gold-Digger" on my ring finger to add some bling. (Gold-Digger will be available soon!)


I found this at Target today! It's L'Oreal's "The Muses Attitude." It's a hot, vampy, dark teal with just a slight flash of purple. I am LOVING the new L'Oreal nail polishes! The formula is awesome and they are coming out with some awesome new colors!


I wore this amazing combination yesterday with my cute skull shirt. The colors are all from Fyrinnae's new Samhain 2012 collection! "Mermaid Masquerade" on main lid and into lower lash line, "Sultry Samhain" in crease, and "Mischievous Sidhe" above crease and to blend. That awesome blue liner is "Peacock" smudge stick from Stila. The lasting power on this bad boy is incredible!



There you have some super random makeup, nails, and outfits from this week! How do you like the outfit pictures? Is this something you'd like to see more on Makeup Zombie? I'd love to show off outfits that are budget friendly AND for fluffier girls such as myself? Let me know what you think!
