**Ready for Fall** LOTD!

Happy Sunday lovers!

Last week I had Fall fever something fierce. I could feel the weather changing, the smell is different even. I love this time of year and I'm excited for sweaters, and long sleeves, and cute jackets with skulls on them. HAHA! So, last Thursday I did a nice neutral look- didn't even use a top eyeliner.

~Breath in and Exhale EOTD!~

Good evening Zombies!

It's almost the end of a long ass week for me! I have a full weekend, so I plan on blogging and then vegging out in front of Hulu tonight!

I have really been wanting to use my Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadow and once I saw Exhale, I knew exactly what to pair it with.

OOO to be Green'd EOTD!!

Good evening Zombies.

I'm feeling VERY under inspired these days. I feel like each time I do a look, it looks like something I've done before. And yet I could stand looking at my eyeshadow for hours and come up with amazing ideas. Maybe it's because I don't have much time in the mornings or maybe it's because I'm soon turning 31 and am feeling the pressure.
 
What would YOU like to see? Please help me out. I'll take your requests and run with them! I need combination ideas, color ideas, etc. BRING IT ON!

Anyway, this is the look today. I used my new "Drakon" eyeshadow from Evil Shades as well as my custom color from High Voltage "Zombie Chic."

!Evil Shades Nixies LOTD!

Good evening my fantastic and beautiful Zombies!

This is my 185th post. WOW! I don't know how I managed it, but I've rocked out with this blog. All thanks to you! I really appreaciate you all being interested in my blog. It makes me feel good about doing this. I blog for myself, but I also enjoy doing something that entertains or informs others.

Anywho, last week I got a mini Evil Shades order, because I HAD to get some of the new Mythology shades.

I used Nixies (Blue based purple with a grassy green shift ) today and I freaking LOVE the way it applied almost a foiled steel blue. It looked awesome. I paired it with some High Voltage eyeshadow and away I went! I did not get a good shot of my open eye, so you can hardly see Crowd Surfing.

Crowd Surfing Gypsy Queen EOTD!

Happy Friday bishes!

Whew another week dead and gone. My oldest son's birthday is tomorrow (he'll be 6!) so it's going to be a busy day. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

I HAD to use some of my new High Voltage shadows today (duh!) and was pretty happy with the results. Gypsy Queen turned black on me when I blended it too much, but adding Saint and Sinner was the perfect touch.

!!!High Voltage Haulage!!!

Good evening ZOMBIES!

I swear when I received my most recent High Voltage order, it looked like I had won a giveaway. I was stoked at the cool things she included with the order. Complete with an awesome Frankenstein felt bag, some Halloween goodies, and a mini nail polish from Sally Girl. I swear, Jasmine is so awesome. She really cares about her customers and I really admire that. <3 I saw her post on Twitter one day with brand a brand new collection of colors and immediately ordered the whole set. LOL I added a few such as Copy Cat and Crowd Surfing that I'd been drooling over forever.

The only complaint I have are the new labels. From my understnading the old labels were fading, so she switched to waterproof labels. I totally understand, but I really dug the old labels. Made HV stand out from the rest in my opinion.

Anywho, check out the order- complete with swatches at the end!

Swatches are FUN! *NEUTRAL/ BLACK & WHITE!*

Hey Zombies!

Happy Sunday. My day is full of grochery shopping. When shopping for 5 people, (including a 16 month old who can pack food away) it's usually an all afternoon 'thing.' We try to only go once a week to avoid the chaos of the store. So what do we do, head to Wal-Mart AFTER lunch on a Sunday. Busiest time of the week.ever. We're glutton's for punishment. Why not leave the kids home with Daddy you ask? Because..it's fun for ALL of us to be together on the weekly shopping extravaganza. FAMILY TIME PEOPLE! lol

Anyway, I am almost done swatching all of my minerals. I know to some of you my collection may not seem big, but to me (and my husband) it's pretty gigantic. I adore every single on of my minerals and have so much fun with them. I shutter to think what my collection will look like in another year.

**^Purple People Eater!^** Official LOTD!

Happy Saturday Zombies!

I was going to post this last night to go along with my purple swatches, but I got sidetracked. *winkwink* So, here it is today. I will say purple is officially my favorite eyeshadow color. And OMG, I have a new found love for Fyrinnae's "Princess of Darkness." What a unique shade. Check out my purple swatches HERE! I may not have a ton, but to me my collection is pretty kick ass and ever growing!

I had someone ask where I got my black nose stud. I purchased it from www.bodycandy.com. Shipping was SUPER fast!

Swatches are FUN! *PURPLE*

Good Friday evening my dear Zombies!

What is it about purple? I know a few people who confess that they have more purple in their makeup stash, nailpolish stash, clothing, etc. than any other color. There is something deliciously special about purple. It can have pink undertones, blue undertones, it can be sprinkled with glitter or vividly matte. Purple is...love.

Here I have swatched all 33 of my mineral purple shades. I have others, but they aren't in jar form, so I didn't bother. The more I swatched, the more I thought to myself, "DAMN, you really need to wear this one more often" or "oooo look at that glitter", etc.

The contenders this evening (in no particular order) swatched over Pixie Epoxy:

Good night my beautiful Zombies!

Swatches are FUN! *GREEN*

Swatches are fun, but swatching is NOT!

Tonight is a beautiful rainy night here in Albuquerque. It rained for a good hour earlier with TONS of lightning and thunder. My kids were troopers and actually slept through most of it! I wanted to stay offline as much as possible, so decided to do some swatching. I'll be swatching all my eyeshadows by color. YAY! I remember before starting my blog how I liked to Google certain shades before buying. I thought swatches were extremely helpful, so this is a 'sharing is caring' post.

So tonight I bring you my "green" swatches. This is mainly ONLY mineral eyeshadow. I didn't want to do through my palettes, cause, well...MEH. It became abundantly clear that I do not own enough green shades. I must fix that, and SOON! lol

 I hope you're all having a fantastic evening. I'm off for a little R&R and then bed.

Zombie Chic's Need LoveToo! LOTD!

Good evening Zombies!

I started the 30 Day Shred this evening. If you don't know what that is, it's a fitness DVD with the hard ass, hard bodied little Jillian Michaels. I will say it was not as hard as I was expecting, but it was NOT a piece of cake. My face was a glow with sweat as were my arms and legs. I had that fun knot in your tummy when you're on the brink of a puke, but not quite there. LOL  All in all though, I'm glad I started and I'm excited to continue.

All that aside. I created a really great look today. I took inspiration from Phyrra's recent awesome Shades of Green post. Though it's not exactly like it, I tied in a bit of the same colors.

**!If You Like Pina Colada!** LOTD!

Evening Zombettes!

I don't know what the title has to do with the eyes, other than I started singing that song around 11:00 am this morning and it's been stuck in my head all day.

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

Anyway, I did a bright colorful look today. I gained inspiration from a pair of earrings my homeskillet Bethany gave me. (You can see them in one of the pics.) I really liked the way this turned out. Bright, but not overbearing. :)

PS. For those of you who commented about a nose piercing. I've been thinking about it, and I'm almost pretty positive it's a GOOOOO!!!  hehehehe

**! In the LIMELIGHT +20 !** LOTD

Good evening Zombies!

I'm not feeling too hot tonight. Not sure why, other than just having an exhausting week. I'm so glad it's the weekend and a LONG one at that! :)

Today's LOTD is brought to you by Fyrinnae and High Voltage Cosmetics. ("In the Limelight" is a custom shade Jasmine with HVC made for me. It's a gray green with gold flecks; for lack of a better description.) I really dug how this look came out.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Sex, Drugs, and Glam Rock! LOTD

Hello lovers!

Tonight I bring you probably the most bright ass look yet. I am part of a "Goodwill Group" at work. (Don't laugh!) And we had an event today. On event days we have to wear our "I'm brighter then YOU!" red shirts. So, I thought I'd just bust out the brightness and go all out.

Yesterday I received samples from Phyrra's Aromaleigh "Victoria's Revenge" giveaway that I won. So before I swatch them for the masses, I had to use one. The one that caught my eye the most was Mourning's Whimsy. I am SO not disappointed in this eyeshadow. See for yo'self!

The Goods:

Eyes:

UDPP all over lid

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy all over lid

Aromaleigh "Mourning's Whimsy" main lid

High Voltage "Glam Rock" in crease and outer (lower) lash line extending outward

Cheeks:

I had tons of fun with this look! What do YOU think?

Have a great evening Zombies!

*High so Hi on Life*- Major Mail Weekend! SWATCHES!

Friday and Saturday the mailman was very good to me! :) I received my package from Hi-Fi Cosmetics on Friday- with a custom shade I asked Veronica to cook up. I'd also won an eyeshadow from her Facebook giveway (Raid the King) but totally forgot about it until I sat down and starting typing (after pictures were edited.) Anyway, I wanted to try her new Rockstar shadows, so I ordered Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll and Mosh Pit, as well as my custom shade, which she named Emptiness and Lies. (Should be on the site soon.)

Morning Zombies!

I’m blogging from work, which isn’t a GREAT idea, but I wanted to post something before my usual evening posts. My husband has been having some issues as of late with me on the computer so much. *rolleyes* I never in a million years thought that my silly little blog idea would turn into what it has. I’ve met wonderful people in the blogging community, seen so many new and beautiful makeup looks, been introduced to nail polish in a way I never really thought about before and I’ve discovered fantastic Indie makeup companies. I’m so lucky to be apart of all of this and just wanted to thank you all for your support of the big MZ! :)

That being said, my posts may be a little sporadic for a while as I figure out how to better balance my blog (which is now a huge part of my life), my family, job, and marriage. I’ll fit everything in where it is suppose to be, obviously my family first.

Also, once I reach 100 followers, I will be hosting a fantastic giveaway as a thank you to all of you creepy Zombie lovers. So spread the word, I’m almost there! <3

Here’s mah face o’ tha day! Just a preview, I’ll have the full post tonight, but O.M.G I adore Fyrinnae’s “Wicked” and Evil Shades “Soul’s Torment” together! It’s a glitter bomb of purpley goodness. Throw a little High Voltage “Born to Rock” in the inner corners and nom, nom, nom.

I call this look:

“Born to Rock Your Wicked Soul!”

Crappy, unedited cell phone pics, for the win!
Happy Friday lovers!

!My 100th Post! High Voltage Cosmetics Review and SWATCHES!

Good evening Zombies!

Ok...I just couldn't wait to do this review. I was going to take my time with swatches and create a remarkable write up, but this is too exciting to wait. Plus this is my 100th post, so even more cause to celebrate!

I recently befriended a person on Twitter called "MadeULookMakeup" and came to realize that she is the owner Jasmine of High Voltage Cosmetics.  Once I opened the High Voltage website, I knew this was going to be a fantastic new friendship. LOL  I browsed the site for a good hour, if not longer, trying to find 2 eyeshadow I couldn't live without.  (I'm on a pretty tight budget these days, so I could only get 2. And really at $3.50 each for a 5 gram jar (which was PACKED to the rim) I didn't feel guilty about spending the $7.00.)  Ok, I'll stop rambling.

I placed my order on 05/21/2010 and received it today 05/26/2010.  Because the 21st was a Friday, I believe this was extremely quick shipping!  I wasn't totally impressed with the mailer they came in, because it was torn on one side, but that's not HVC's fault, that's our lovely postal service! The 2 shadows were bubble wrapped very securley and that made me feel good. The best part is when I unwrapped and swatched. Holy mother of freaking ZOMBIES.....I could not believe my eyes. You know that feeling you get when you don't really know what to expect from something and it totally surpasses your expectations? This is is exactly what I felt when I swatched Midnight Desire and Born to Rock!

Midnight Desire is a lush royal purple with intense blue undertones. it is...omgfaintbeautiful!

Born to Rock is a gorgeous lavender color with lime green duocrome. OMG, this is amazing!

The shadows are so creamy and soft. Also very well blended. And as I said before, the jars were packed to the rim!

I swatched each color over Pixie Epoxy on the top of the swatch and dragged the swatch down over bare skin for comparison sake.

I am in total lust with High Voltage Cosmetics. Not only is the customer service to die for, the shadows are beautiful and unique. I have a couple already jotted down on my want list. I can not wait to try more of this terrific product.

I give High Voltage Cosmetics 5.5 out of 5 Zombies. Order now....! NOW! And tell her Zombie sent you!
