I have a bunch of new Sugarpill products, and it's about time I worked with them. Also, I apologize for the state of my eyebrows; I didn't do anything with them lat night, so they're somewhat messy.

Here's another look purely because I have the time. I decided that after yesterday's green-purple-red strangeness  I would be a little tamer today. Also, I apologize for the slight redness in the corners of my eyes - the makeup wipe I used to clean up the edges was a little rough on my skin.

BiohazardousBeauty Tribute

Hi! So I am super excited about this, as I've been wanting to do something along these lines for quite a long time! BiohazardousBeauty is a YouTuber and Blogger who I've been following since I first got into makeup. I absolutely love her work, and she is seriously my greatest inspiration. Please check out her channel and blog! This look is based off of a recent look of hers, for which the tutorial is here . Also, you can find it on her Instagram here . I saw a picture of the look and immediately fell in love! She used the Kat von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette, which I don't have, unfortunately. So I tried to put together the same look, except using dupes from my own collection. Hopefully, I have succeeded in reproducing the look fairly faithfully, and in a way that does justice to my greatest inspiration. (Though the wings of my eyeliner are completely different. I wish  I had the skill to create wings like hers.) Products Used: Urban Decay P

First and last attempt at combining red with pastels

I have time to work on makeup for the next couple of weeks, while I'm on Winter Break from University. So here's another little something. The inspiration was essentially: "what wacked-out colors can I mix together today?" The result? An excuse to fire the creative department in my brain, because this is a red-pastel monstrosity. (Still, not gonna get rid of it entirely - might as well have a record if only so that I know better what to avoid in the future.) Also, it should be noted that I attempted to use liquid eyeliner today. It did not end well. Products Used: Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadows: Asylum, Hysteric, Paperdoll Urban Decay Vice 3 palette: Freeze Essence Eyeshadow in Blockbuster (22) (highlight shade) L'Oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Black Essence Kajal Pencil in Love Me Lavender (23) Lancôme Hypnôse Drama mascara in Excessive Black/Noir

(Un)Holy Smokes!

Please forgive the title. The only other thing I could think to name this was "Purple and Gray", which sounds quite, well, gray . So here's a look for a day out with a friend. Nothing too fancy, but still fun to put together. And in case your wondering, the color scheme was decided on to coordinate with my clothes - I was wearing all gray and black, with just a splash of dark purple. It's not really visible on the images, which is a bummer, but there is purple layered into and over the gray, so the middle of my eyelid has a purple shimmer.
