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,

I'm a blunette and Liz Earle cleanse and polish

I tried to upload better photos of my hair but my computer does not want to play today. Oh dear. Hope it's nothing serious. Here is the only photo worth posting of my hair. Also, check out how light it got (I was so not meant to be blonde) and what it looked like when I let the vegetable dyes (Special Effects Blue Velvet and Electric Blue) sit on my head for four hours. I dyed it on Wednesday, so I haven't seen how it's going to fade with washing. I read reviews and decided these two blues were best as they should fade purpley hues, not green. Luckily I've been reading hairdyeforum, for advice. They are all so friendly and helpful and knowledgable (two ands!) that if you need hair advice, I say ask them! 

I ordered the dyes, bleach, clips etc from beeunique - the sister site of hairdyeforum. It was a pain free transaction, amazing, I recommend them.

Yes, that is my face with no make-up. 

On that note, I actually avoided spots this month for the first time in months and months (maybe even a year). About a month ago Elle magazine offered two Liz Earle cleanse and polish starter packs (2 x 100ml bottles and 4 x face cloths) as the freebie with a 6 month subscription to Elle (only £10). I looked at it as trying out a new and promising facewash for less than RRP and getting six free magazines to boot. 

Lo and behold, now I am in love and hooked and addicted and (three ands!) will need to buy this from now on (bad for bank balance, great for skin). It smells divine and feels amazing. I've been using it for about two weeks. I am also using facewipes to take any make-up off my skin first, 

but it can take make-up off too I just prefer it that way. 

My skin has never felt better but then I've only ever inconsistantly tried my mums Clinique 3-step from samplers (as well as some of their lotions and potions and whatnot) and cheaper brands like Clean & Clear and Biore. I love this. I thought I might like it. But I love it. I use it once a day at night, they recommend 2x daily. What can I say, I'm a rebel. Rebel without a spot (?! terrible attempt at wordplay, there.)

I'll show some better photos soon (when the computer complies) but there you go. I gots blue hair.
