Smoky Green Dragon Scales!

Zombies!

Woah, two blog posts in two days? It's a sparkle party! A few weeks back, I received a package from one of my best sparkle buddies and in it was a sample of Lumikki Cosmetic's "Dragon Scale." Oh..my goodness, is it amazing! I couldn't wait any longer to put in on my eyes. I think this look came out so pretty!

I was blown away by the pigmentation and sparkle overload in this eyeshadow! I will absolutely need a full sized jar of this bad boy. It is amazing!

Lady Grenade Cosmetics Re-opening and Swatches!

Good evening Zombies!

A month ago now, I was able to meet up with a good friend of mine Candy Sparks, the master mind behind Lady Grenade Cosmetics! We've known each other for a little while now online and it was fun to meet in person and talk about sparkles all night! Candy was nice enough to give me some samples of her eyeshadow for me to swatch for you all. Today is the grand re-opening of LGC, so what better time than to show you the goods. Stay tuned to the end of the post, I have a little surprise!


(I only had baggie samples of each shadow, so I did not photograph them. As always, click on images for maximum awesome.)



L to R: Purple Heart, Sonic Boom, Bogie, and Zombie Genocide


L to R: Shellback, Gypsy Soldier, Ditty Bop, and My Romeo


L to R: Hocus Pocus Decoy, Wangle, 90 Day Wonder, Taps


I adore Purple Heart, Sonic Boom, Bogie, My Romeo, and Wangle. LGC eyeshadow are so super pigmented and easy to blend. I was quite surprised by a couple of the shades and how sparkly, yet wearable the are. There is a huge array of shades and colors to choose from. Because LGC is also run by a kick ass woman in the military, there are several neutral, yet fun shades for everyday wear.

Here is a quick look I did today using Sonic Boom on the main lid and lower lash line and Purple Heart in my crease!




Because today is the grand Re-opening of Lady Grenade, Candy has offered a 15% discount to all of my readers to help spread the word about the opening! Use coupon code: SpreadTheWord at checkout for your discount! You can also find Lady Grenade Cosmetics on Facebook HERE to keep updated on new collections, etc.

I highly recommend you take advantage of the code and try out Lady Grenade! Full sized 5 gram jars of eyeshadow are $5.50. I don't believe samples are offered at this time.

Happy Saturday Zombies!

I did a fun but super simple (and sparkly) look yesterday to match the t-shirt I was wearing. (My husband drew the design!) The combination was too pretty NOT to blog about. I'm trying to get better about posting my looks to the blog and not just to Instagram. Sadly, I didn't get pictures with my "real" camera, just my iPhone. But, still. PRETTY!









The Goods:
TFSI as primer
Tick:Tock eyeshadow base in "Milky Way
Fyrinnae "Dragon's Wing" main lid
MAC "Carbon" in crease
Fyrinnae "Electric Stardust" lower lash line
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as highlight
random liner and mascasra

Cheeks:
Candy Floss Brigtening Face Powder

Lips:
Geek Chic Cosmetics "Benevolent" geek gloss

Have a great day everyone!

Don't Teal Me You Love Me, FOTD!

Zombies!

TGIF! It's been a long, harrowing week for me. My entire household has been sick. Just today I felt well enough to slap on some makeup and blog about it! It's been too long since a "face of the day" and I really wanted to make it a good one!

Last week I received a small order I'd placed with Darling Girl Cosmetics. Susan has recently come out with an eyeshadow called "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" which tons of my makeup friendlets began lusting over. I knew I had to have it and ordered it promprtly. Susan was kind enough to throw in some extras for me to swatch you for you! Two of the shades (Aristocrat and Dark Forest) will be released very soon, so stay tuned!

Swatches!




Dark Forest is OMFG-awesome!, as is DTMYLM!

And today's look:

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?
