Petrilude 'Color Splash' Inspired FOTD

I rewatched a few of Josh/Petrilude youtube tutorials yesterday and had to copy this look. The colours are so gorgeous together, right? The products I used varied a little bit from the original so I'll post those in detail below. I hope you enjoy looking at my face because you'll be seeing a lot of it if you scroll down.

Bird of Paradise FOTD

This reminded me of a bird of paradise flower when I was finished with all it's craziness, so that's what I'm calling it, something bright and cheery to ring in the New Year. This is the sort of make-up I don't have the time to do for work (plus I'm scared co-workers would laugh at me or something! And the products aren't all MAC!)
Product list and more photos under the cut.

In the sunlight (I liked the shadows the lashes made).

PHOTODUMP - Looks From Last Week

If you don't follow me on twitter you may not know that I lost my camera battery charger just in time for starting my new job. Yeah, it's lame. Here are the last few looks I had on the memory card, from my last week at my old job (which finished on the 23rd Oct... eek! I am behind on posting.)

Adventure Time Inspired Series - Slime Princess

I've seen a lot of green looks around lately because of The Makeup Heroes Depression Awareness Week posts. If you haven't seen them already I insist you check them out -  

Robyn  - wearing green ALL over (awesome).

Wendy - looking sweet and subtle.

Kathy Effing Jacobs - rocking green with her lovely red hair.

Priscilla - gorgeous forrest green (and her brows are flawless).

Helen - brilliant dramatic smokey green.

Jerry - Jerry Dazzlepants indeed! Love the lower lash/lid colours.

Hope I linked to each look (so far) and didn't miss anyone out. I gather there are more to come. Keep your eyes peeled. I am not a Make-up Hero but I have suffered with depression and anxiety like so many others and just thought I'd draw attention to these lovely posts with all their information and inspirational eye make-up - it's all good stuff and they are all worth following if you don't already!

Now, Slime Princess. She is one of many princesses in the Land of Ooo and has her own underground Slime Kingdom. She's so upbeat and cute - she wants to marry Finn for rescuing her and she kisses alligators. She was what I thought of when I thought green and Adventure Time (that and Finn's backpack, which isn't even a person). More photos and products below.

Adventure Time Inspired Series - Jake the Dog

Jake the Dog! I have finally decided to base a look on him. He's so cute, probably my favourite dog of all cartoon history. See, Santa's Little Helper is adorable, as is the Tramp etc... but... Jake farts to great comedic effect just like a real dog. He also has stretchy powers, is boyfriend to Lady Rainicorn, and sings pretty well. So here it is - my Jake based eye using Sugarpill Buttercupcake (easily my favourite yellow eyeshadow).

Adventure Time Inspired Series - Princess Bonibelle Bubblegum

Princess Bubblegum is the ruler of the Candy Kingdom. Pictured above she is 13, as one of her experiments  went awry. Usually she is 18. Peebles is a scientist and I like that, she's got a brain. Finn has a crush on her and Lumpy Space Princess is her best friend. She has a strained/difficult relationship with Marceline, it is suggested perhaps they used to be close. Aww. Sad times.

I created this look on Monday and only just got around to posting it. I have no idea why, as I have had a lot of free time. Eeep! Anyway, I went with a pink and purple cut-crease. Click fo' mo'

Adventure Time Inspired Series - Old Lady Princess

Old Lady Princess was rescued from the Ice King by Finn & Jake earlier on in the latest series of Adventure Time. I like that she is wearing a blue and purple dress. In this picture, she has been hypnotised, so her eyes are all big. I completely ignored her skin and crown but... meh. I think blue and purple are two of the best colours. She may be old but she's still a princess so glitter was included for good measure.

Her lovely blue rinsed to lilac hair is included utilizing Sleek Pout Paints.

Adventure Time Inspired Series - BMO (Beemo)

Beemo is a little gameboy style handheld games computer. I find him adorable partly because Beemo is the family nickname for my younger brother Liam (Limo Bimo) who himself plays videogames more than anyone else in the world (or so it seems).

I also realised my nails were already Beemo colour-themed today, and so it had to be done. This nail is Illamasqua Fern with Inglot flakies on top (alternating blue flakey/green flakey). Sometimes my Essie Good to Go topcoat shrinks polishes. That happened, and also I have had a shower, washed some brushes and spent a day at work with this mani. FOTD after the jump.

Red Eyes and Lilac/Glitter/Matte Nails.

Adventure Time Inspired Series - Engagement Ring Princess

That's right. Adventure Time. I haven't watched much Disney recently but my younger brother got me hooked on this show via youtube (as it shows on Cartoon Network which I've never had... I have never lived in a house with SkyTV or whatever else :\ ) This look is inspired by the Engagement Ring Princess. She's a background character in a few episodes. I thought her colours were pretty and also she has a ring on her head which is neat. She is the first but she won't be the last!

Last of the July 2011 EOTDs

These are my last few looks from July. Where has the first half of the year gone? Ah!
I thought I'd do a little end of the month round up with these as there's nothing too unusual about them, but I feel like they're worth posting. I was trying out my The Balm eyeshadows and Hot Mama blush and the gel liner as a base technique.

Products under the cut.

Barney EOTD

Disney sidekick - Pascal (from Tangled) inspired EOTD

My new favourite Disney Sidekick and I'll tell you why. I rented Tangled and watched it twice in a row. Pascal is incredible. He's so expressive. He turns blue and red when scared/angry but green is probably my second favourite colour at the minute and I had wanted to do some green eyeshadow today so it all worked out. I tried to keep it rounded and lighter in the centre like real chameleons. I held a chameleon once on a school trip. It had awesome eyes and feet, all swivelly (shut up it is a word).

My fringe would not behave and got a firm hair-clipping!

Products

Base - UDPP in Eden, Illamasqua cream pigment in Bedaub (centre lid) and Jumbo Pencil in Milk (inner corner and lower lash line), Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy under the eye.

Eyeshadows - Inglot matte grass green 384 concentrated on inner and outer  sides of crease and glitter chartreuse AMC 59 in centre of lid. Matte skintone 352 to blend. MAC Newly Minted (for blending crease) and Sugarpill Chromalust in Tipsy (lower lashline/inner corner).

Eyeliner/Mascara - Illamasqua medium pencil in Vow (waterline, to make my eyes look rounder/bigger) Boujois Clubbing Liner in Black (not flicked out so eyes looked rounder... hopefully) and Boujois Volumizer mascara in Black.

Eyebrows -  Kryolan aqua blue coloured cream liner and Illamasqua matte blue eyeshadow in Sadist.

Face - Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer in Porcelain, set with a tiny bit of Clinique powder (I have noticed this is too yellow for my skin even though it's supposedly translucent so I would like a new powder soon, possibly Kryolan anti-shine) and a little Guerlain pressed meteorites powder in Mythic Parfait (I wanted a little glow). Blusher was from the MAC l/e Venomous Villains collection - Cruella's Darkly my Dear.

I'm still working my way through my nail polish hoard. Here is Illamasqua Lament, which they've put in a new collection called Magenta Muse. This collection is disappointing because it's all from the permanent range. In some ways I applaud Illamasqua for this as nothing ever sells out forever as with MAC. But you know... new stuff is exciting! Make new stuff guys! 

Anyway, I picked it up on sale from asos.com about two weeks ago. It's a lovely cream coral pink colour, brighter on the nail than I thought it would be from the bottle. I put a coat of Illamasqua Prism on top of a few nails just for an extra little something. Makes them look pinker, nearly neon, when it catches the light. 

My index finger appears to be dirty, looks like the hair dye to me. It seems to have stopped transferring onto everything now. Fingers crossed. I still have a black sheet wrapped around my red bedding just incase!

Disney sidekick - Mrs Potts inspired FOTD

I am still finding my feet with this blue eyebrow stuff. I think I like today's method best... so far. I like Mrs Potts. She's a good woman. The fact that she probably ended up with Cogsworth makes me feel bad for her. She could do so much better.

Products 

Base - UDPP in Eden, NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk.

Eyeshadows - Inglot matte pink eyeshadow (362) and both their shimmer and matte white (DS 496 and 373), Blush (light matte pink) from the Sleek Paraguaya palette, Royal Tour and Dame's Desire (from Royal tour trio from Dame Edna l/e MAC collection), Sugarpill Poison Plum (crease). 

Eyeliner/tightline/waterline - Inglot yellow liner (AMC 84), Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero (set into tightline with matte black from Sleek Acid palette) Kryolan aqua blue cream liner (waterline).

Mascara - Rimmel Lash Accelerator in Black.

Eyebrows - Kryolan aqua blue cream liner and Illamasqua Sadist (matte blue).

Foundation/Concealer/Blusher - Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer in Porcelain, Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer in Light, set with Guerlain pressed meteorites powder in Mythic Parfait (for a more summery glow to skin), MAC beauty powder in Pretty Baby (Hello Kitty l/e).

Lips - Sleek lipstick in Mystic with Inglot Sleeks cream lipgloss 97 in the centre. 

(Sorry for the pouting face >.<)

I put the shimmery white all the way under my eye but it didn't show up how I wanted. On the facechart I had drawn yellow the entire perimeter of my eye and it just seemed too much. This didn't turn out completely to plan but then what does when I'm concerned! C'est la vie! I'm going to take this moment to say thanks for all the lovely comments I've been receiving lately, it really makes this a fun hobby.

My younger brother is making me a new header for up above this blog today. The black is getting me down, and also it's pretty soulless. It's not very "me". Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Disney Sidekick Pain and Panic/Vani inspired EOTD

  I had wanted to do a blue and red eye-look inspired by Pain and Panic from Disney's Hercules since I first started the *sort of* series I have going. (So far I did Zazu (Lion King), Flit (Pocahontas) and Mushu (Mulan) incase you missed it.) 

I always love seeing Disney themed looks on other blogs and on youtube so I'm continuing with it.

 Look at those little guys. The comic relief of Hercules. My hair is partly inspired by their master Hades too, as he is blue through and through ("aye- verse- oi!") 

Another awesome blue haired person is Vani the shop girl (who along with Yuka models for and sells Japanese brand 6%Dokidoki). Isn't she awesome? She wears one eye red, one eye blue quite often. I'd call it her signature eye-makeup. Well... I stole it. She first came to my attention through Shrinkle's blog, the founder of Sugarpill who I have been following online since I was about 16. Yes, I am an internet stalker. 

In honour of this obsession fact the main lid colours for each eye are from Sugarpill (Love+ and Afterparty).

Products
Base - UDPP in Eden, NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk (inner corner).
Eyeshadows on blue side - MAC Wisteria eyeshadow (Light blue from l/e Dame Edna trio), Sugarpill Afterparty, Fyrinnae 1.22 Gigawatts (crease), Inglot .
Eyeshadows on red side - Urban Decay Heat deluxe eyeshadow, Sugarpill Love+, Inglot raspberry red (AMC 74) and matte skintone (352) and white (373) to blend to brow.
Liner - Blue Kryolan cream liner, Red Inglot gel liner (79), UD Perversion to tightline/on waterline (set with black from Sleek Acid palette).
Mascara - Boujois Volumizer in Black.
Brows - Fyrinnae 1.22 gigawatts mixed with Illamasqua sealing gel.
Face - Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer in Porcelain, Clinique translucent powder, Sleek blush in Santorini and some MAC beauty powder in Pretty Baby to tone it down a bit (from Hello Kitty l/e collection).

My brows would work better this way if I had no brow hairs. I don't know if I dare go there. I'm sure I'll figure out smart blue brows soon. 

Thanks for looking,

Ruthy x
