Before Bedtime Play - Sugar Skull

So I was looking at my facebook page last night and saw TheDailyGlamour had done a Sugar Skull look and I decided to play with some makeup before bed and do my own Sugar Skull look. I dont have advanced skills so I decided to do a more simpler one. I have seen Sugar Skulls has been a huge craze throughout the makeup community. In the past year we have gotten quite a few sugar skull items at work as well. 

I had trouble applying the white makeup. All I had on hand was a couple white makeup items i bought from walmart for like a dollar or 2. If you have dry skin like me, I dont recommend them. I saw a white powder at Spirit Halloween today for $3.99 that I almost bought though. My allergies have been acting up lately so my makeup started to fade away underneath my eyes. This isn't the best but decided to share it anyways. My hair is a mess because like I said in the title I did this look right before I went to bed.

Items Used:

*Wet n Wild Coloricon Pencil in Black

*Lime Crime China Doll Palette

*Essence Smudgeproof Eyeliner Pen

*Revlon CustomEyes Palette

*Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Woodstock and Radium

*White Cream makeup from Walmart for 99 cents

*Mirenesse Lip Bomb in shade 2 (Awesome Red from October Glam Bag)

 

Heres some pics of Sugar Skull looks from fellow beauty bloggers I follow (theres are a million times better then mine.):

Shiro Cosmetics Oogie Got JACKed Eye Look

I just realized I hadnt posted my eye look I showed in my recent Shiro Cosmetics Haul Post. I did this look using all of the shadows from the 2012 Halloween Collection from Shiro Cosmetics. 

This was just a quick look I came up with to show how the halloween collection applies on the eyes. I like how it came out. I think I might wear this on Halloween when I goto the fair. :)

The collection is based on the Nightmare Before Christmas, hence the name of this look. I havent seen this movie in awhile. I should rewatch it. Im hoping to find a good deal on the 3D blu ray. It seems like a good one to watch in 3D. Anyone else getting excited for Halloween??

Witch Hunt - Wed EOTD

So yesterday I decided to come up with a look using my new Beauty from the Earth colors I got in the mail over the weekend. I decided to do another Halloween eye look. This look makes me think of witches and frankenstein. I think it came out kind of meh, but decided to post anyway. 

I've been trying to do more blending with colors, but i need to practice more. I also have been trying to do cut creases like shown in the BowsandCurtseys Video(this one can be hard to load but plays fine on a ipod) and Glittergirlc Video. I need to practice where i place the original line because everytime the gradient effect comes just about to my eyebrow. Then theres way too much shadow on my upper eye. Then when i try to clean it up some, the shadow loses it effect. Yeah I need to practice practice practice. But I just started trying this out a few days ago though.

Items Used:

*BFTE Caribbean

*BFTE Vega

*BFTE Poison Ivy

*BFTE Mermaid

*BFTE Whisper

*BFTE Very Vanilla

*Shiro Finkelstein

*Shiro Rebellion

*NYX Liquid Liners in Extreme Purple and Glam Lagoon

*Revlon CustomEyes Mascara

*Applied Elf Primer first.

*Applied Vega to crease.

*Blended Caribbean to the top of Vega.

*Blended in Poison Ivy with the lower part of Vega.

*Then blended in some more Vega. 

*Applied some more Elf Primer to the lid.

*First I applied Mermaid, then whisper, and then Very Vanilla. 

*Applied a tiny bit more of Mermaid on top and then to inner corner of lower lashline.

*Applied Caribbean and Vega to lowerlashline.

*Applied 2 Coats of Glam Lagoon and then 1 coat of Extreme Purple. 

(You might have to wait a little bit through coats because it might sting a little if you have sensitive eyes like me but the stinging goes away all together after a minute or so.)

*1 Coat on setting 2 with CustomEyes Mascara and then 1 Coat with setting 1.

 

Side Note: The state fair is starting today (since its now friday my time). I can't wait!! I always look forward to the Arizona State Fair even though its the same every year. I find this state to be boring and not much to do, but I can look forward to this though every year. I cant wait for cotton candy, concerts, roasted corn, rides rides rides, playing games (trying to win something like a Hello Kitty Stuffed Animal), watching monster trucks and RVs run into each other, etc... Halloween is on a Wed and it happens to be the $2 day. So you now know where I will be that day. Deciding though if I want to dress up or not? I got a cute skull shirt from work and picked up some cute skull flip flops from Rue 21 today for a $1. Check out your local Rue 21 because when I was in there today I saw Clearance racks that took an additional 50% off, $3 Racks, $4 racks, and then they had 3 boxes of $1 Flip Flops which included double pairs for a $1. I was good and only got 2 shirts and 5 pairs of flip flops spending only $10 and change. 

 

Shiro Cosmetics October Haul - Swatches (Pic Heavy!!)

So Shiro Cosmetics released their Halloween collection, so I of course had to make an order. I havent had many hours lately so instead of going the mini jar route again I got the sample $1 bags. I got a total of 14 colors this time. If you order the jars they come with cute Nightmare Before Christmas stickers.

Aren't they cute?? Every full size jar of any of their shadows come with stickers. I believe you might be able to buy ones for the mini jars but I think some come with them as well. 

Every package comes with candy.

These were yum! lol I gave the other one to my hubby.

I was having trouble capturing the color right in the swatches so I took pics of the product in the bags as well.

(Insert Finkelstein Bag Pic)

Finkelstein (Halloween '12) - Ultra-pale ghoulish green-yellow-grey with blue shimmer.

 

Oogie Boogie (Halloween '12) - Swampy green-beige with a muted velvety finish; the intensity of the green tones depends on the light.

 

Master Sword (Legends) - Super-glittery pale taupe - a blend of silver and gold, with bright silver sparks.

 

These 3 were hard to capture their actual colors. I did finger swatches to get the outside light ones.

Alkahestry (Full Metal) - Sheer-ish pale violet with a brilliant blue-sparkle base.

Reverse Psychology (Science) - Medium purple with bold green shimmer and lime glitter.

Shinigami (Notebook) - Dark royal purple with silver sparks.

Ragdoll (Halloween '12) - Lightly faded rust matte base filled with lilac and blue sparkles.

Zelda aka Princess (Legends) - Soft salmon-y pink with bright golden sparks.

For Generations (Full Metal) - The most obnoxious possible shade of piggy-pink, decorated with gold and blue sparkles.

Heart Attack (Notebook) - Deep maroon with blue duochrome.

Hero of Ages (Legends) - Dark, blue-toned forest green with light shimmer.

Zora Sapphire (Legends) - Dark teal with a very strong green duochrome.

Rebellion (Tributes) - Charcoal black with deep blue shimmer and sparkles.

Pumpkin King (Halloween '12) - Very blackened copper packed with orange sparkles.
