Because, yes, I AM that much of a geek!

This post is to introduce the first in yet another series of themed EOTDs... and these are ones that will either seem fun or just sad because they're all WoW-themed! Haha.
So this is one that's a Cataclysm look, that actually kind of reminds me of some of the new drakes I've seen flying around. It's called Undersea Volcanic Rift, because I'm weird when it comes to titles. So I used these colors, and here's the key to deciphering what I mean by 1, 2, 3 etcetera: Numbering System
1. Nevermore - Scaredy Cat Cosmetics
2. Dragon's Wing - Fyrinnae (well blended)
3. Mystic - Fyrinnae
4. Pumpkinfire - Fyrinnae
5. Madame & Eve's - Fyrinnae
6. a. Greenman's Forest - Fyrinnae
6. b. Velvet Vampire - Fyrinnae
7. Likelike - Shiro

I wish that I was able to capture more of the warm tones in this look, but my camera made it all very cool-toned. The Pumpkinfire DID actually take on a kind of eggplant-y shade, but it still had the glorious orange shimmer which really didn't want to be found in the pictures I took :(

Sorry about the wayward strand of hair in that last picture! As always, click to enlarge these.

And also, for anyone out there who wonders what my solution is when I'm in a makeup rut, here it is below!

And there you go... fairly simple. The steps are as follows: Swatch. Pretty. Colors.

I usually find several combos I want to use every time I do this, but I figured I'd take a picture for the hell of it! Anyone else have different solutions, or do you just never get into a makeup-artists-block or whatever it's called? Drop me a comment! Thanks for reading and have a relaxing weekend.

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics Followup Pictures

I said I'd post pictures of the eyeshadows I recieved today, so here they are. They're so tiny and cute! And the colors are so pretty!

Here's a size reference :)

Here are the swatches in artificial indoor light: Top Row L to R Nevermore, Smooze

Bottom Row: Peacock Blood, Caldonia, Keltoi

Here's with flash:

See how pretty! Also, for those of you who are wondering what that other swatch is at the top right, I was being clumsy and dropped my Dash Minerals container of Celery Shimmer in the sink, and most of the shadow went down the drain.I was really sad because I loved the color, but Keltoi is really similar, so the random swatch is the remainder of my Celery Shimmer for comparison :)

Scaredy Cat!

Hey guys! My Scaredy Cat Cosmetics order arrived in my mailbox today and I greeted it with a little happy dance, sliced it open and pulled out its contents. Morbid description much? Haha.
They were shipped in a box, instead of a bubble mailer, which was interesting, and it was filled with those protective wiggly-paper-strips you sometimes find in Easter baskets and some tissue paper. The little trial vials were all packed in separate baggies with the name of each color. I got Nevermore, Peacock Blood, Smooze, Caldonia, and Keltoi. I'll be putting up swatches and pictures of the packaging soon, but right now I'm gonna go try them out!

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!
