The Blitterpoard Mani

Okay, so as to the title of this post. No, my nails aren't dying of a terrible-sounding disease --- I've simply titled it this way because it's a combo of blue, leopard-print and glitter, and I mangled the words horribly to form it's name. I don't actually have a lot to say about this other than that I suck at doing my nails and I still got tons of compliments on this! It was very encouraging :)
I used Sally Hansen HD in BLU, my Physician's Formula liner for the leopard print, Confetti in Pink Confetti, and Sally Hansen Advanced Strengthening Topcoat.
And heeeeere's what it looked like! (Ignore my ugly cuticles -.-)

There you have it.... please comment! Thanks for reading!

Uhm LORAC, and a random look

So I'm probably the millionth person to be in on the LORAC sale on Hautelook, but I caved. And then I got carried away. So I've got the Croc Mocktail mini set on its way, as well as three other Mocktail shades/flavors in Chi Chi, Caffeini Martini, and Lava Flow. So expect some major haulage. What drew me in (besides the price!) was the description of these glosses. I'm a sucker for lip gloss in general, but especially when it tastes good! These Mocktail glosses are flavored like different cocktails, so how was I supposed to resist? ^.^
The funny part is that I really WAS being good and not buying a thing, but then I thought 'Hey, St. Patrick's Day is juuuuuust around the corner and I need me some green glitter!' and it all just went downhill from there. But it looks like my mailbox will be getting happydanced at once again!
I recieved my order from Zoya -- I got Envy instead of Shawn, which kinda sucks because I was really looking forward to that shade... but Envy is lovely too! It was still a pretty great deal so I guess I was just a little slow and Shawn ran out? Not sure. I need to show pictures of those. Unfortunately it seems my little camera had intentions of it's own and has scuttled off somewhere. I guess it wanted a spring break. Until I can hunt it down, I hope you'll be appeased with an EOTD from a little while ago.
I used:
1. Abalone - Archetype Cosmetics
2. Lilith's Daughters - Archetype Cosmetics
3. Dragonmagic - Fyrinnae
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Ultra Black liner
5. Mystic - Fyrinnae
6. N/A
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals


First picture first: this one looks a little funny to me... like my eyelashes are reaching out. Slightly unnerving.

Blurry, but it shows off some sparklies:

Sooo, that's that. Drop me a comment! :)

Oh! I almost forgot! My OCC Lip Tar in NSFW arrived... I. LOVE. IT! Expect a review as soon as I'm able to photograph swatches!

Are your eyes bigger than your stomach? LOL of the Day

I have a face on my face!

WARNING:  Not your average makeup!

I don't think I'll be making a habit out of this or anything, but I had this weird idea in my head that I wanted to try out (but probably not wear out) and it makes me giggle!

I used (in no particular order):

Kamikaze - Fyrinnae

Prestige liquid eyeliner in Popstar

Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Ultra Black liner pen

Integra's Dog I - Archetype Cosmetics

Beetle - Detrivore Cosmetics

Black Rose Bath - My Pretty Zombie Cosmetics

 The best part of this look, is when you blink it looks like the mouth is biting! Heeee! Omnomnom rawr.

 I won't mind if you question my sanity, but do comment!

GotW - 450 Enchanting

Here is Sunday's Geek of the Week look, "450 Enchanting"! You'll probably notice it's made up of colors similar to the Baby Vampragon look... this won't be the case for most of the GotWs though, don't worry.
In WoW, the enchants that are put on weapons usually make them glow, glimmer, or something similar. Also, you can disenchant, and recieve many pastel-colored dusts. Here's kind of a tribute to both those, with the dusts as the shadows and the enchants as the liner...
A picture of enchanted weapons in the Dalaran shop:

Stuff being enchanted:

I used:
1. Sugar - Hi Fi Cosmetics
2. Futuristic Glamrock - Fyrinnae
3. a. Spun Sugar - Archetype
3. b. Pixie Poop - Archetype
4. Physicican's Formula 2-in-1 liner Ultra Black under Real Wild Child - Hi Fi Cosmetics
5. Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll - Hi Fi Cosmetics
6. Futuristic Glamrock - Fyrinnae
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

I wish I'd managed to capture the glitter better....

Oceanwater EOTD

This is the first EOTD I've done in a while... sorry, but I was really reluctant to do any looks or swatches without my holy grail Pixie Epoxy. Now it's here, so I'm taking full advantage. This is a look I did today (mind you, I'd been wearing it for several hours before I took pictures... and look how fresh it still looks! Thank you, Fyrinnae!) using two of the new shadows I got. I'm calling this EOTD Oceanwater cause of the seagreen-ness. It's not intentionally a themed look, but I'm throwing it into the Water Trilogy themes anyway. Here's what I used:
1. Sugar - Hi Fi Cosmetics
2. Eternal Innocence - Fyrinnae
3. Electric Stardust - Fyrinnae
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 liner in Ultra Black
5. Dragon's Wing - Fyrinnae
6. NYC Black liner
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

That's all for now. Tell me what you think and thanks for reading!

Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum

Man, that's a mouthfull. But if it works it'll be worth it! As to what it does... I think the super long title kind of explains that, but if you want more info just click here.

I've only tried the pen twice so far. And I got carried away with the swatching of it because it's just so fun to draw with. It's very precise and it's a legit brush tip, not felt. Everything about it is very sleek. It makes me think of those Japanese calligraphy pens, and I've always been jealous of artists so I felt very pro handling this liner pen and did a little doodle myself: It's a murloc! Hehe.

Now I've heard some funny rumors that this eyeliner/lash lengthening duo keeps people up at night. To me that just sounds weird to the extreme. That's like saying your favorite lipstick is such a gorgeous shade but it makes you hear white noise. I just don't buy that. So I put this to the test (god forbid I should ever sleep in my makeup!) and applied some after washing my face last night. Are you ready for the truth!? Honestly, I slept like a baby. Myth BUSTED! I think a more likely explanation would be that this liner is so sleek looking it could honestly belong in a spaceship and maybe some aliens are jealous and want it for themselves, so they deprive the original owners of sleep in hopes that the liner will get thrown out and they'll be able to take it for themselves! Well it could happen right? I never claimed it was reasonable :)

On to the actual FACT that it is sleek:

Here's the liner pen, all shiny and aerodynamic for alien space travel:

The nice, accurate brush tip (the bristles don't come apart during application either, they stay streamline which I think is a pretty great thing):

And some various lines I drew:

I guess it looks a little sheer here, but let me assure you, I have been using loose shadows with water to line my eyes for a while now and this pen definitely creates a darker, more controlled line. Also, this product is advertised to be waterproof and smudgeproof. And they mean it! I had to get my doodles off with soap and a loofah. Miraculously though, it wasn't so hard to get off my eyes... and I guess it's usually easier to remove if you apply primer and shadow first (it's worth mentioning I didn't try legit makeup remover with this). But this stuff stays and stays!

Pretty fab huh? I'll review a bit more when 2 or so weeks pass to share how well the lash boosting works.

Tell me what you think! Have you tried this liner pen? Did it work for you, or did the aliens take it?

Nighty night folks! Mrgl?

As to that weird squawky noise I just made...

Hehe I'm glad no one heard that. I have to apologize for being all un-posty recently. I'm so sorry! Things have been CRAZY around here! I think I'm back now though.
So, back to the title. I can't believe I haven't posted about this already, but I placed more orders with Fyrinnae! I ran out of Pixie Epoxy last week (imagine that!) and I've been dying without it. If you've never noticed the difference in your shadows since you bought your first Pixie Epoxy let me tell you... it looks like I mixed my shadows with dust before I applied them. The foiled-look-without-foiling is gone, my friends. But as I said I ordered more. Salvation is on its way! Now I placed my order earlier this week. Fyrinnae's TAT is currently 26-28 business days. So I was all prepared to settle in for a longish wait and just deal with the lackluster eyeshadow payoff. BUT! Have I mentioned the guys at Fyrinnae are not only wizards who recieve the dragonscales that go into their eyeshadows straight off the organic vine of the tofu-dragon (no real dragons though cause after all they ARE vegan, so no real dragonscales) but they are also masters of QUICK SHIPPING!? Well, they are. I got an email today saying my order had already shipped. Thank you Fyrinnae, you've done it again! I was so happy I actually did make some weird bird sounds... so if some of you are still confused by the title of this post... ^.^
So that's my raving for the day over with, but I had to put that out there! Fyrinnae is most definitely my top favorite cosmetics company of all time.
I'll have the swatches and stuff up as soon as I recieve my incoming orders. Also, my Hi Fi order (well, one of them anyway) arrived, as did six sample shadows from My Pretty Zombie (and they're all stunning) so those review/swatches should be up within the week. I also placed an order with Glamour Doll Eyes today. Not sure when that will get here. That pretty much sums up all the stuff I've gotten and will be getting so far.
I also got that Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum in Ultra Black last time I was in CVS. So at some point in time I'll post a review on that... but I'm gonna wait and see if it works for now. It's a nice liner pen so far!

Enough of my babbling though. Comment! And have a great week :)
