Quick and random EOTD

It was sunny out with a clear blue sky, so I decided on a yellow and blue look and this is what I came up with...
I used:
1. Blizzard - Detrivore (with a highlight of Earth Angel Minerals "Old Flame" shadow)
2. Invertebrate - Detrivore
3. Vacancy - Detrivore
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Ultra Black liner
5. Pathos - Detrivore
6. N/A
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

And the pictures!

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!

Two in One, with a little update: Scaredy Cat Cosmetics

I'm a little backed up on my themed looks. Not sure how, really, as I've been posting a ton lately. But nevertheless, I've got two that haven't been posted and I'm just going to bunch them together in this post. They're both Neverending Story - themed. The first is called The Neverending Story... go figure! I tried to capture the book's description of the book with this EOTD. Confusing? yes. It's supposed to be shimmery coppery silk, and the ink is in two colors: green and purple. I don't think I did too bad capturing it, but see for yourself!
I used:
1. Sun Silk - Dash*
2. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae
3. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae*
4. Immortality - Fyrinnae
5. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae
6. a. Celery Shimmer - Dash
6. b. Red Plum - Dash
7. S.S. Anne - Shiro
* - With a thin sweep of Faceted - Pure Luxe over the top for added shimmer

And the second look is called "All Those B's"

In this case, all those B's isn't referring to Bastian Balthazar Bux, but to Broken Glass, Brine, and Beetle. This is pretty much an all-Detrivore look, with a little Fyrinnae.

1. Broken Glass - Detrivore

2. Beetle - Detrivore

3. Brine - Detrivore

4. N/A

5. Beetle - Detrivore

6. NYC Black Eye Pencil (smudged)

7. Titania - Fyrinnae

As for the update, I heard about the 5 for 5 trial vial deal at Scaredy Cat Cosmetics and leapt at it. If you haven't seen their colors go check them out. They're gorgeous!

Really excited about those, and the packaging is ace. I love the cosmetic round so-and-so-gram jars, but Scaredy Cat packages their products in lovely decorated full sizes and the 1/4 tsp trial vials are little corked bottles!

Do What You Wish EOTD

This is the first of a (probably very extensive) new line of theme EOTDs. I happen to be very excited about these because they're all based around The Neverending Story (the book, not the movie). I've got a lot of ideas and I recommend the book because it's awesome. But get the hardback version with the colored ink. That's the best way to go.
Anyway, this is look is inspired by Bastian and The Childlike Empress' first meeting; "The beginning is always dark"
I'll give you a heads up here. If you haven't read the book, there will probably be a lot of EOTDs that just don't make as much sense. Some are more or less explained by the movie, if you've seen that. But either way, pretty makeup colors right? Enjoy!
Here's what I used (check my New Year's post for the explanation behind this weird numbering system I've worked out):
1. Broken Glass - Detrivore
2. Immortality - Fyrinnae
3. Dinosaur Plushie - Fyrinnae
4. N/A
5. Immortality - Fyrinnae
6. NYC Black Eye Pencil
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

And here's where I tried and mostly failed to capture the immenseness of sparkle. As always, click on the pictures for more detail!

And some sparklier shots with flash!

Winter Girl EOTD & Fyrinnae updates

This is the third Wicked Lovely themed EOTD I've posted so far and I'm really happy with how it turned out! This one is mostly blue with frosty sparkle, so I think it's fairly fitting.
Here's what I used:
1. Broken Glass - Detrivore
2. Nymphette - Evil Shades
3. Mirage - Pure Luxe
4. N/A
5. Nymphette - Evil Shades
6. Gyarados - Shiro
7. Meowth - Shiro
And here's how it looked:

Also, my Fyrinnae order arrived today in the midst of a snow flurry. Yay! I'll put up swatches and everything, but I just have to say Dark Fantasy is LOVELY!

Summer King EOTD and Updates

This is the requested Summer King EOTD based on Melissa Marr's novel, Wicked Lovely. (A little pic-heavy but click to zoom in on eyeshadowy goodness!) Here's what I used:
1. Triforce - Shiro
2. Molten - Pure Luxe
3. Cinnamon - Face Candy Couture
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Molten - Pure Luxe
6. S.S. Anne - Shiro
7. S.S. Anne - Shiro



So, on to updates! I'm getting a little antsy about the whole Archetype Cosmetics order. The shipping status hasn't changed since December 28th. There have been holidays since then, so the delay could simply be due to that, but after all the customer service horror stories I'm afraid it could be something more. Gonna wait a few more days before trying to contact Holly (again) but I'll keep you posted!

Fyrinnae's wait time is always a bit long, so I'm not expecting any news on that front yet. But I have a bit of a confession to make. I saw sparklies and wanted them. And then I resisted a little but caved anyway. So I placed my first order with Hi Fi Cosmetics today and I totally don't regret it. The pigments look gorgeous from the swatches I've seen, and the reviews are great. 

That's about all I have to update you with. I've got a ton of swatching to do, but I'm sleepy and lazy and procrastinating. I'll try to do some tomorrow? Nighty night for now!

Second Pure Luxe Experiment

I didn't think I'd get around to this yet, but obviously ended up with enough time on my hands. I've come to the conclusion that, with this camera, it is nearly impossible to photograph these Kaleidoscope colors :(
Which is really a shame, cause they're so pretty! I got two pictures, but then gave up after about a million fails. Here they are, and here's what I used. All the colors are Pure Luxe except the eyeliner (#4)

1. Illusion
2. Titania
3. Faceted
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Visions
6 (a). Mirage
6 (b). Visions
7. Titania

And here's a pretty (blurry) picture of sunset through the trees.

New Orders and EOTD

Hey guys! I just placed my second order with Fyrinnae, and I'm super excited. It included two lip lustres this time and I'm not sure what to expect, but I bet whatever consistency they really are, they'll be wonderful. Also, after a month's wait, my first Archetype Cosmetics order has apparently shipped although I can't get any tracking info and it's been several days. The last order I recieved was a set of 9 samples from Pure Luxe. I've read a lot of reviews that say their products are definitely individual, and others that say that they're just repackaged TKB. I'm really hoping it's not the latter, but I haven't seen any replicas of the colors I bought. I'll do a review on those later, but I just got back from being on holiday and I'm still kind of lazy. The review and swatches will be up in a few days.

I'm including this EOTD, because the sun is actually shining here, and I felt that these colors would catch it well. Sorry about the lighting. I haven't quite mastered this camera yet.

Here's what I used:

1. Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae (Detrivore's Hilite Gold in inner corner as a highlight)
2. Blend of Rapunzel Had Extensions and Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
3. Celery Shimmer - Dash Cosmetics
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
6. (a) Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae
6. (b) Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
7. Titania - Fyrinnae

You can see the colors a bit better in these pictures:

Detrivore Samples!

Okay, I got my Detrivore order in the mail on Monday. I've just been super busy. But I'm updating now! This was a very small last-minute order, but the shipping was great! They shipped out the day after I placed the order. This is what I got: Paradoxia, Brine, Ectoplasma, and Tommyknocker. Muse was a lovely free sample :)

I did a peacock kind of look with these two days ago and the colors are beautiful and very pigmented. I didn't have any fallout... used Pixie Epoxy, which I also got on Monday ^.^

Here are the individual pictures and their descriptions according to http://www.detrivorecosmetics.com/:

 Tommyknocker: (Med green matte)

Ectoplasma: (Bright green color)

Brine: (Blue-green aqua color)

Paradoxia: (Deep blue color, filled with violet shimmer)

Muse: (Light purple color)

I'll get swatches up soon... I know I said I'd do that today, but, well... I got lazy. All very pretty colors though!
