Punk Rock and Roll Showcase on Never Too Much Sparkle!


Zombies!

Last week, we had a little "showcase" or "challenge" in my Facebook group Never Too Much Sparkle! to create a look that was "Punk Rock and Roll" themed. It was SO much fun seeing what everyone came up with. I wanted to share the looks with all of you! (Click the images to go to the blog post each lady did. If, they did. :D )

Aranza:


Blix: Most punks I know don't wear much makeup, mainly smudged black eyeliner and dark lipstick. From what I see, it's mostly about the clothing, hair (OMG the cool hair!) and of course, the music. Since I don't have cool punky hair, I did what I could with the makeup and threw on a choker and an ankh bracelet for a nose chain. Here's my look. I made it all girly with lotsa pink!


Eleni: I drew my inspiration from the classic beginnings of the punk rock movement – 70′s UK, and from this image from a Sex Pistols shirt


Corner Ghost: I took a bit of inspiration from Brody Dalle from The Distillers, who does a much better job at looking tuff


Helen: Here's my submission/preview for the Punk Rock n Roll look. I'm afraid it's way more rock n' roll then punk. I was listening to Pink Flyod, David Bowie, and The Who rather then Flogging Molly or The Sex Pistols, oopsy!


Jessica: I went with a simple tribute to The Runaways.


Kimmie: My inspiration was the Dead Kennedy's logo.


Anne: I really wanted to channel Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, but that would have been some black eyeliner! So I channeled the scandalous and punk wannabe Boy George.


Jeni: I decided to go with the first band that came to mind for me. The Misfits. I grew up with them. They very much influenced me as a teen, and I continue to adore them. I chose my look to be based on Jerry Only's signature skellie makeup. Because it's on me.. I've called this look "Jeni Only" :D


Krista: My inspiration was Siouxsie and the Banshees song the Rapture..


Melissa: My inspiration was a more wearable version of Gwen Stefanie's look in the "Ex Girlfriend" video.


Rebecca: This is a cross between nina hagen, rob smith, and not knowing wtf i'm doing


Robyn: Based off the colours from 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.'


Vonnie: ROCK AND ROLL!


Swatchfreak: For the Punk Rock & Roll theme, I made a EOTD in wich are the main colors pink, black and blurple. I think the colors represent the theme pretty well.


Wendi: I went for a "Rancid" red and black look, but it turned more into a rock and roll look.

Our next theme is SO MUCH FUN! I'll have all the looks posted next week. If you're on Facebook, come join the group and have some fun too!

Dark Carnival Collab with Snarky P! Wicked Clown!


Zombies..

I love this time of year! Love.it! Because we can come out of our comfort zones and paint our faces all CAHRAZY! So, because of this, Amanda, The Snarky Princess and I have decided to do a weekly collaboration and the theme is "The Dark Carnival."

To kick of the collab, I chose to be a wicked clown!



I seriously need a black or red wig!







For these collabs, I probably won't go into much of what products I used, because really, it looks like my makeup desk exploded with all the things I grabbed and used. So, this will be more of image posts!

Stay tuned for Snarky P's look coming up later today!

Swatch Spam- Halloween Edition! Part 2: Fyrinnae Does Halloween!


Hey again!

I iz on a roll today, so let's just get right to it. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this collection to release. I am not *too* sure when it'll be up, but here are the swatches anyway. And let me just say, I literally almost pee'd in my pants when I swatched these. Amazing. Fyrinnae always amazes me.

Everything swatched over Pixie Epoxy. (AM- means Arcane Magic)



FLASH


NO FLASH








Seriously....look at all that sparkle!!!!












I honestly believe this is the coolest fucking collection from Fyrinnae ever. I mean it or I wouldn't have said the "f" word. Look at the sparkles and the intense colors. Just gorgeous. I will be doing tons of looks in the next few weeks with the new set.

Which colors catch your eye?

Be sure to check out Swatch Spam Part 1 with Evil Shades here!


Fyrinnae sent me this set as a gift for being a loyal and long time customer. Reviews and/or swatches were not required, but I did them for the love of the product.

Swatch Spam- Halloween Edition! Part 1- Evil Shades and Zombies!


Zombies!

I am back...for those who don't know, I've had an interesting few weeks. I won't go into much detail, but I've re-evaluated life and want to start making some major changes.(Which includes more blogging, because it makes me happy!)

Andrea with Evil Shades and I collaborated for her Halloween collection this year. We came up with "Zombie Collection." Of course, she did all the work, I just threw in my 2 cents. The collection is beautiful and I wanted to share it with you! I was going to do eye and lip swatches, but because of the events in my life, I decided to get hand swatches done to share with you all. :D

Please make sure you click the images for maximumfucking awesomeness! 



 





My absolute FAVORITE from this collection are Reanimated and Living Dead Zone! (Though Reanimated is a hard one to capture in photo's because it's such an amazing and complex color.)

Braaains has aqua and pink sparkles throughout that didn't show up in the photos. Think "Phyrra's Fantasy" but much lighter. Gorgeous.

This collection has a little bit of something for everyone.

Slowly crawl over to Evil Shades to check out this collection like a true Zombie. Let me know what you end up getting!!

Part 2 of swatch spam coming up later today, featuring Fyrinnae!

*products in this post were sent to me for consideration. opinions are my own and 100% honest.*

Guest Post with Jerry Dazzlepants! The one and only SilhouetteScreams!


Zombies!

I am out of town this weekend on a mini-vacation with my family. So, to fill in a day I will be gone, I give you the amazing SilhouetteScreams and her amazing face.


I'm SilhouetteScreams, but you can call me Jerry Dazzlepants. I'm a 21 year old uni student from Australia, and I enjoy nothing more than slapping on drag queen makeup to scare small children. Wendi asked me to do a guest post while she's out of town fighting crime, and I just about piddled my pants with excitement! I immediately knew I wanted to recreate one of her awesome looks, and I chose this one. I loved the teal in the lower crease, though I admittedly got a bit carried away with blending and it turned purple! While I usually opt for a Snooki nude lip with my bolder eye makeup looks, I wanted to channel Wendi as much as possible here. She can rock a bright pink lip with anything, so I thought I'd waddle out of my comfort zone and try it! I don't think I look quite as awesome as the Zombie, but I'm pleasantly surprised. ^__^
