Water Trilogy Theme?

I may be getting a little carried away with all these themes. But I'm having lots of fun! Hope anyone reading this is enjoying it too. It's giving me tons of inspiration for new looks. :)
Here's the latest thing I've come up with while browsing my heavily laden bookshelves. The Water Trilogy is written by Kara Dalkey and I picked them up about a decade ago (in an airport nonetheless!) and fell in love. If you haven't already guessed I'm a huge sucker for fantasy. Stating the obvious though so I'll move on. This EOTD was inspired by the first book, titled Ascension, and the look itself I named Purple-blue Sixty-five. I got several compliments on this one. Here's what I used:
1. Mirage - Pure Luxe
2. Wicked - Fyrinnae
3. Faerie Glamour - Fyrinnae
4. N/A
5. Wicked - Fyrinnae
6. Faerie Glamour - Fyrinnae
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

Tell me what you think! Comments/questions, and I should have some more stuff up for review as soon as my Scaredy Cat and Hi Fi orders arrive :) Wishing you all fast shipping times and lots of sparkle!

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!

Tarnished Rose EOTD

This isn't a themed look, just me playing around with my new Fyrinnae shadows. I thought it turned out pretty well. Everything I used is Fyrinnae unless otherwise stated.
1. Leopard-Print Galaxy
2. Velvet Vampire
3. Greenman's Forest
4. N/A
5. Velvet Vampire
6. Immortality
7. Golden Fair Matte Base - Everyday Minerals

And here's one last picture to show Immortality a bit better.

So, what do you think?

Aislinn EOTD

This is another Wicked Lovely themed look, but possibly the last as I'm running out of ideas. I used my new Fyrinnae eyeshadows for this look and I love them!
As usual, what I used and then how it looked:
1. Meowth - Shiro
2. Okapi - Fyrinnae
3. Greenman's Forest - Fyrinnae
4. N/A
5. Feline Familiars - Fyrinnae
6. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
7. Meowth - Shiro
