heart-on for indie makeup

Absent

2012-01-04T11:34:00.000-08:00

Hello, all. Just an fyi. I will probably be absent from posting for a bit. My work just bumped me to full time, I'm attending school full time, and I try to do music at least a couple hours a day (pre-production = LOTS of practice, don't you know?). My MA level ethics class is about to start, but (thank goodness) I was given a thorough syllabus early. So... while I'll certainly ninja onto facebook and keep up with everyone else's awesome looks... I probably won't be posting many myself for a bit.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year and I can't wait to see your awesome looks! ^_^

12.27.11 Busy Bee look

2011-12-27T08:59:00.000-08:00

<----My Awesome "Busy Bee" T-shirt!

I've already mentioned this, but my old roomie and bestie, Polly, got me this awesome "Busy Bee" shirt from a resale shop a while back. It's green with a yellow sparkly bee decal. Needless to say, I love it. I wear it as often as I can... and have done at least one other look inspired by it. ^_- Today is a holiday smokey eye hippie rocker chick look that it inspired.

This is what I used:

e.l.f. - Mineral Eye Primer: nude

detrivore - primer

Venomous - Eyelash Viper

Fyrinnae - Dressed to Kill

Fyrinnae - Dragon's Wing

e.l.f. - Mineral Eye Liner: Black

Kat VonD - Puro Amor Mascara: Black

*I opted to not wear any foundation or blush, today. I tend to do that as often as I can, lately. I do music... maybe I'm just keeping in line with the rocker chick theme. That said, I will keep my lippie or gloss of choice handy (nothing for lips in the pics, but I'll probably bring e.l.f. trendsetter or trophy wife coupled with hempbalm). ^_^

p.s. I can't tell you how much I LOVE "Dressed to Kill". Anyone looking for an awesome, sparkly pigment for New Year's Eve should definitely consider it. ^_^

Never Too Much Sparkle Inverted Smokey Eye

2011-12-18T17:00:00.000-08:00

The Facebook group "Never Too Much Sparkle!" is doing a weekly challenge for an inverted, holiday smokey eye that integrates green and red. My eyes aren't to terribly wide set, but I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try corrective shading for those with that problem, by completely inverting the way I normally do my smokey eye looks; adding shadow to the inner corners, this time. The results were surprisingly chic! Of course, I did some shading to slim my cheekbones to offset the effect of the eyeshadow.

Products used:
e.l.f. rose mineral eye primer
concrete minerals eye primer
detrivore primer

NYX Jumbo red lip pencil
GDE Martini Olive
GDE Olivia green
Aromaleigh Tainted Love
GDE Cloud Coverage
GDE Urban Trash

Kat VonD puro amor mascara
Meow Cosmetics browbeater auburn
Wickedly Clean blush Pastel Pink

e.l.f. lipstick natural nymph
NYX Jumbo Red lip pencil

As you can see, I used greens on the lower, red to the inner corner, and white to the outer.

To the right is the super-quick, hippie version of this look ^_-. I washed everything off and left the GDE martini olive mixed with GDE Olivia Green that remained on the lower lashline.

Peace, love, and gratitude this holiday season. ^_^

Do you have a favorite GDE, Morgana Cryptoria, or Concrete minerals pigment?

Green and Cream

2011-11-19T05:11:00.003-08:00

This look was prompted by a song called "Green and Cream" by Guilt Machine. As you can see... the colors are NOT Green and Cream. However, it seems that the album is extremely personal and explores depression. So... what better way to celebrate that than with some blues? Regardless of what you think of the look... you should totally listen to the song.

GDE - Olivia Green just above Night of the Hunter into crease

2011-11-17T06:26:00.001-08:00

I got a couple of wet n' wild eyeliners yesterday on the way to the bus (they won't make change and all I had was fivers... so I had a totally legit excuse to buy makeup. AND... it was buy one get one half off! YAY!)

The look is far more vibrant than it appears... I will have a decent camera, soon, so you can see the colors better - but this works for now. ^_^

Also, I'm something of a hair person (I'm pretty decent at up-do's, those integrating braids, especially) You can't see it... but I did pin-curls to everything but my braids. What's nice about this 'do (if you will) is that you can be messy and it looks awesome when you take it out! ^_^

11/15/11

Minimalist, on-the-go rocker chick

2011-11-10T04:53:00.001-08:00

wed green

2011-11-09T05:23:00.000-08:00

Most of you probably already guessed this... but the majority of my makeup stash is green colors, at the moment. So... I may have quite a few green looks coming up. Today's look, in accordance with my previous statement, is green. ^_^

Phyrra Inspired look

2011-11-08T05:45:00.000-08:00

Greem!!!

2011-11-07T05:37:00.000-08:00

Fyrinnae - Dressed to Kill cut crease, outer 1/2 upper and lower lashline, and outer v
Fyrinnae - City Glam Lights of Auckland just above crease
Fyrinnae - We're all mad here to outer 1/2 lid
Kat von D - Sunset blvd to inner 1/2 lid
Sula - I dare you just under eyebrow to highlight
e.l.f. - black mineral eyeliner to lower waterline, outer 1/2 upper waterline, outer 1/4(ish) lower lashline, and upper lashline (creating a wing)
Kat von D - Mascara black

Face and cheeks were the same as yesterday. ^_^

I'm sure I've said it before, but it bears repeating... my camera is NOT the best. Apologies for not being able to show you the true complexity of the colors.

This look was actually inspired by a couple bloggers (EyeGraffiti and Painted Princess) who have recently done glitter cut crease looks. They're fabulous! (You should see links in my blogroll to their bloggy blogs... I highly recommend you go forth and view them. ^_^) I don't have much eye safe glitter, save the Fyrinnae City Glam glitters I have, so that's what I use. While they're beautiful and sparkly, they're tricky to see on camera.

The blurry version of the complete look is on the left. That awesome shirt I'm wearing says "busy bee" and my bestie, Polly, got it for me. (She lives in Oregon, now... I miss her. /sadface ) The shirt was a big influence for the look (as you can see. ^_-)

One more thing... Unfortunately, I will not be able to purchase new makeups for a while. That being said, I will continue doing looks with what I have.

Thank you so much to all who give me feedback, inspiration, encouragement, and/or those who just dig the blog. Yousguys are awesome!

foosball inspired look

2011-11-06T08:09:00.000-08:00

The majority of the teams we're hoping will win today have red and/or blue. Here's what i came up with...

GDE - Mingles to crease
kat Von D - Speed blue to crease (layered atop primarily the bottom half of mingles to create definition and gradient) and to outer 1/2 lower lashline
Aromaleigh Rocks - taintedlove to outer 1/2 lid and just under crease (leaving inner 1/2 lid available)
Kat Von D - First class to inner 1/2 lid, under brow to highlight, and to inner 1/2 lower lashline
Fyrinnae - Mirrors just above crease for sparkle and gradient
Kat Von D - Blacksmith to upper lashline
Kat Von D - Black mascara

I think I may have smudged a bit of the blacksmith to the outer 1/3 of the lower lashline (trying to keep super close, so the blue would still show.)

Also... I used e.l.f. mineral primer, concrete primer, and detrivore primer (in that order) first. ^_^

I think it came out ok... not to terribly "4th of July-ish". What do you think?

p.s. sorry about the unruly brows, I didn't even realize until I posted this. lol. I have to brush those guys... or they have a mind of their own!

Dethklok t-shirt inspired look using Kat VonD

2011-11-04T06:39:00.000-07:00

Today's look was inspired by my Dethklok t-shirt. ^_^ (You can see it a teency bit in the pic).

Kat - Blacksmith applied in a defined line to the crease (cut crease)
Kat - WTF above the cut crease, blended
Kat - First class under brows and on lid
Concrete - Lithium to outer 1/3 lid and lower lashline
e.l.f. mineral liner - black to outer 1/3 lower lashline (VERY close to the lash... there should still be Lithium showing underneath) and the upper lashline (creating a wing)

Blush was meow Rhetorical Ruin
Face- e.l.f. mineral powder
Almay powder

FYI: All of the "Kat" Colors are from the Kat VonD Tattoo Chronicles kit that my friend got me for my birthday! I don't know that I'll have time to post a full-on review, but I will say... I like the colors. The palette is usable for a number of looks and has quite a few AWESOME "neutral" shades. I'm excited to use it for upcoming looks in conjunction with my mineral stock. ^_^

On a final note... Kindle started offering Prime members a "library" option. I'm excited to see how that develops. I would be more than willing to pay a nominal monthly fee for unlimited "rentals" (if you will). I'm hoping that this offering is a test to see how many people would be interested. Any kindle/e-reader folks have insight? What do you think about it?

p.s. technically, right now you can "lend" books... so... if a bunch of folks got together they could theoretically create a library of their own. :-D YAY TECHNOLOGY!!!!

Halloween 10.31.11

2011-11-01T06:58:00.000-07:00

So... my halloween look from yesteryar was pretty simple.

I only used the following colors on my eyes:
Fyrinnae Still breathing - to lower crease, to define and create a gradient
Aromaleigh Rocks Taintedlove - to crease
GDE Electric Lemonade - to lid
e.l.f. mineral eyeliner black - to lower water line, upper lashline, and outer 1/3 lower lashline
Kat mascara
I don't recall exactly what I used for my face, but I think it was the e.l.f. all over color stick (persimmon) on cheeks and e.l.f. mineral makeup on face

So... for those of you who hadn't guessed... I went as a firefighter. ^_^ I found this FABULOUS dress at a consignment shop. Normally, I'm more of a resale shop girl (consignment shops are generally more expensive) but this outfit was sturdy, looked to be handmade (or, at least, hand modified/upcycled)... So I was pretty stoked with the find.

I'm a little bummed, though, because I was unable to do anything for Halloween other than dress up for work. But, hey, at least I got to do that! ^_^

I hope you guys and gals had such an awesome Halloween!

NOMNOMNOM

2011-10-30T21:03:00.000-07:00

Hello! So... I just felt I HAD to share this recipe I got from the blog Love from the Oven.

I also recently made some Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate chip, which I modified from a recipe I got from Smitten Kitchen.

Both of these recipes are super yummy, relatively inexpensive ingredient-wise, eminently modify-able, and (most importantly) pretty darned easy!

These chocolate cookies were SO delicious! When I made them I did some minor modifying to a couple of things (most importantly, the size of the cookies. The original recipe is for SUPER big ones) I also made a couple of fun variations on the shape as you can see below.

These are the regular shaped ones

And, now for the heart shaped ones!

I'll throw up some pics of the oatmeal chocolate ones, if you want... but I think the smitten kitchen pics are pretty thorough.

^_^

I'm kind of a fan of holiday baking... so I may post some of these little "science experiments" every so often.

I tried to integrate the main colors into the title sentence. Since I'm an English nerd... this was great fun. I may do it again in the future! What do you think?

Without further ado, I give you "Camilla says WTF to Galliano's Pegasus adorned in black hearts". ^_-

Eyes:

The Dealio: This product line works pretty well to keep skin moist, but my results may relate to a number of changes I've made recently. As for the anti-aging... I don't know that this product line helped me in that regard so much. That being said, the ingredients are non-toxic AND organic, and they state that they are non-comedogenic, as well. While they are using topical "probiotics" as their selling point, I'm still unsure about the legitimacy of their claim. While the skin is the largest organ humans possess, and 70-80% of what you wear is absorbed through the skin, there is little empirical evidence indicating topical probiotic application can prohibit the aging process. Certainly, a well hydrated outer layer helps... but I just recommend scrutinizing this and any similar products (primarily anti-aging and acne treatment). First question should always be: "Who conducted this test?" followed by "Who paid for the test?"

This product is supposed to be reformulated to include some sort of spf in the future, which would be nice. Until then, take it for what it is... a gentle moisturizing and cleansing product grouping with relatively low price point (compared to same/similar products... mostly carried in department stores and boutiques).

Would I buy again? Probably not any time soon. But, in their defense, I almost NEVER get skin care or cosmetics products at department stores. And, as stated in the title, I prefer indie. ^_^ As a disclaimer: I got this free, as I was working as a sales rep for the company when they were doing a costco road show. You may like it... but I just don't have the money to spend 200ish dollars per month on day and nighttime treatments (the previous information is JUST the daytime kit... the night time includes another serum, moisturizer, and exfoliating cleanser.)

Clemson v North Carolina

2011-10-22T13:55:00.000-07:00

Hello, all! it's been a while since I've posted. (A LONG while). Quite a bit has happened since then. I won't bore you with the details, but I'm living in Denver, CO now (from Austin, TX) and busy as ever. Since I'm trying to play catch up with a number of projects and get settled into my new home, my looks will have sparse instructions. I will make sure to post all the ingredients I use in each look, but not always the methods I use to apply them. If there are particular looks that interest yousguys let me know and I will do my best to squeeze in a more thorough explanation.

Today's look was inspired by the colors on the field during the Clemson and North Carolina Game. Vibrant green with white and, of course, orange.

You can see there's a teency bit of fallout... but nothing inordinate or unruly... for someone who rarely purchases or uses anything that's not mineral... I'm pretty pleased with the Kat VonD pallet! ^_^ I DID get it as a gift... so I'm not sure if I would have purchased it otherwise. (Though, I friggin LOVE Kat Von D's style.

Apologies if the brows are distracting... I'm trying to keep up with them myself... tricky.

Foundation:
e.l.f. mineral foundation fair
Almay pure blends 200 transleucent shimmer (to set)
Meow browbeater auburn (for eyebrows and lightly to contour)
Wickedly Clean pastel pink blush

Eyes:
e.l.f. mineral primer - applied gently to lid with ring finger
Detrivore primer - same method as above
Kat VonD Tattoo Chronicles (we'll call anything from this palate "Kat" from here on out. ^_-) blacksmith Applied just above the crease in a rather blunt, triangular shape; patting and sweeping
GDE Olivia Green - layered above blacksmith, lightly
Kat First Class - to inner v of lid, to highlight just under brow, and on the upper cheek as a highlight
Kat Nerd - layered above Olivia Green
Fyrinnae Electro-Koi - from lashline to "cut crease" (if you would even call it that; see picture :-P )
Concrete Minerals Lithium - Applied lightly to inner portion of crease and above (so the edge isn't so harsh)
blacksmith - was also applied to upper lashline and outer portion of lower by pressing and sweeping with an angled brush
Kat Mascara

Have you tried any of the mentioned products? What are your thoughts?

Present!!!

2010-11-24T12:59:00.000-08:00

So... several weeks ago my friend and roommate, Polly, bought me some makeups on a whim. She left me an awesome note as well. When I thanked her, she qualified her gift; stating that she knows I prefer mineral makeup, but couldn't resist the vibrant colors and cheap price. Ladies, and all of you will agree, for makeup lovers (addicts?) a gift of free makeup is, well, a gift of free makeup! ^_- While I do tend to prefer more natural, I like to look at gifts such as this as an opportunity to share some cheapie goodness with the select few who follow my blog. So... follows are some swatches. As you can see, I swatched on my hand and forearm with the colors in the same position as the case. The pictures really don't show the vibrancy as well as real life, but I was quite impressed.

What do you think?

More fotd goodness....

2010-11-24T12:54:00.000-08:00

Today was another blizzcon t-shirt inspired look... but it was also inspired by Blix's awesome look the other day.

Ok...

NYX jumbo pencil in milk to inner 2/3 lower lashline, inner v, and to highlight
e.l.f. liquid liner to upper lashline (extended out, to create wing)

Face was the wet n' wild natural blend pressed powder; applied with a small kabuki brush

ok... I've been SUPER busy the past couple of months. However, I did manage to snap a couple photos of some neat-o looks. Unfortunately, I don't have the products for most of them. (I know, epic fail). I'm hoping to have enough time to start posting again regularly. (fingers crossed....)

My friend, Rita, did this look for me.

This was my halloween look. I have more pictures on the facebook.

The next group of photos is using all concrete minerals eyeshadow. If I remember correctly, I used arsenic, ether, and lithium

Megadeth - Trust... been stuck in my head for some time.

2010-09-17T08:23:00.000-07:00

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said

Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We'll never end 'til we're dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there's nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I'm lying when I say, "Trust me"
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering

Absolutely nothing we trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there's nothing we trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there's nothing we trust

steampunk egypt inspired makeup

2010-09-16T09:22:00.000-07:00

I just got a detrivore and meow order I made and most of the colors are very fall. There were quite a few decadent browns, shimmery golds, and other warm, autumn colors. (swatches forthcoming). Anywho... I was excited to put them together and the colors just evoke steampunk and egyptian for me (simultaneously). Both awesome inspirations, I think! Here goes:

Detrivore "vile" to middle 1/3 lid
Meow "Guilty Pleasures: illegal in 50 states" to outer 1/3 lid
Detrivore "mammoth" blended with "illegal iin 50 states" on outer edge
e.l.f. liquid liner in "coffee"
Hard candy 1,000 lashes in "divine purple"
Detrivore "harem" blush
Morgana "pumpkin eater" on lips
I also used meow cosmetics frisky himalayan for foundation (but I mixed a bit of inquisitive and sleek in there to lighten it up a bit)

blue-green look

2010-09-16T09:02:00.000-07:00

Random Avant Garde Goodness!!!!

2010-08-02T14:56:00.000-07:00

My friend, Polly, and I did some dark kinderwhore carnival inspired makeup. I did hers and she did mine. This is what we came up with!

As you can see, this look is inspired (at least, in part) by miss nukleopatra and her manga inspired makeup. (which you can see here)

And... with glasses!

more sparklies!!!!

2010-08-02T14:43:00.000-07:00

I used the same eye products as this on my friend when she came over... (except no liner or mascara... she used her own) after I cut her hair and did her mani/pedi. (sorry... no pics of that)

PREEEEETY!!!!!

60's inspired natural-ish glitter look

2010-08-02T11:56:00.000-07:00

Today I did a matte look and then spiced it up...

Blix did an AWESOME look yesterday and it really inspired me to try my hand at something similar. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the AL glitters (I really need to invest in those before it's too late!!!)

Here's my humble version. I also decided to do a dramatic winged liner a la Sofia Loren...
NYX milk to inner v, inner 1/2 of lid, to highlight and under eye
AL "latte" to lid and into crease
AL "venus" in crease
e.l.f. brown liquid liner to upper lid
meow browbeater auburn to brow, atop upper liner, and outer 1/3 of lower lash line
e.l.f. silver liquid liner to inner 2/3 lower lid
100% pure mascara in black tea

then...
fyrinnae pixie epoxy to lid
fyrinnae "lights of auckland" to lid

face:
Physicians formula healthy face spf 50 light
and
physicians formula healthy face spf 50 light bronzer

I originally put on AL nourishing color creme in Juliette... but I think it came off before the picture.

What do you think?

Natural look...

2010-08-01T11:34:00.000-07:00

Today was a very neutral/natural look...

I decided to give the e.l.f. primer another try today. I only applied it to lid and into crease
I used NYX pencil in milk under eye, on water line, inner crease, blended into 1/3 of lid, and to highlight
AL "latte" patted over lid and into crease. I also blended with milk slightly so the change wouldn't be so stark.
AL "eros" to outer edge of crease lightly
e.l.f. brown liquid eyeliner from the 3 piece back to school collection
boots no 7 mascara
I used Physician's formula healthy wear spf 50 on face
and applied the bronzer as a highlight
I'm just wearing whatever lippy is around for my lips today. I generally enterchange the goth rosary sun of psalm lip balm and the Alba coconut cream lip balm.

I also did this for my friend, Polly... preeety!

ALSO... pics forthcoming, but I went to buffalo exchange in austin to sell some clothes that my boyfriend said he never wears. They wouldn't take them because they're "not in style"... but I hadn't gone through them previously and he had a pair of mint condition JNCO's !!!!! OMG!!! I tried them on when I got home and they fit PERFECTLY!!! I'm sooooo excited, you have no idea! ^_^
