7 Years Shattered with the Clavicle of Solomon and the Necronomicon with a Dragon on the Ladder to Hell...

*Purchase and Press*

   Hello Lovelies!
 
               I am back again with another EOTD featuring Notoriously Morbid. I find myself keep going back to the Halloween 2014 Limited Edition Collection because the colors are just that pretty. But they also could be exterting some mind control over me with their sparkly goodness.

    I also have been on a neutral kick lately and so I needed some color!

   While it isn't your traditional festive look, you can rock this at your upcoming holiday party, or just to brave the mindless masses out doing their holiday shopping.

   But enough of my chattering this morning and on with the look!

I used the following products for this look:
Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer
Notoriously Morbid (NM) Shadow Bind (Press Sample Coming in January)*
NM 7 Years Shattered
NM Clavicle of Solomon ** (Halloween Limited Edition Collection)
NM Dragon Rouge (yes, I used it for a shadow)**
NM Ladder to Hell
NM Necronomicon**

  I hope that you enjoyed this Notoriously Morbid eye of the day. You and pick up some of these colors as well as many others on the Notoriously Morbid Website. You can also follow them on Facebook, in their Facebook Fan Group (and get first look at sneak peeks and hear about the sales first) and of course follow them on Instagram.  So stay strong when out shopping and until next time lovelies!

They All Float while Black Cats Cross Stripper Zombies on the Ladder to Hell with the Book of Honorious and The Necronomicon...

*Purchased*

Hello Lovelies!
 
      I am back again with another EOTD look! For this look I am using some Notoriously Morbid goodies. Notoriously Morbid had a really amazing Halloween Limited Edition (as well as an resurrection sale for old shadows on Halloween) that came out which I managed to get my hands on. But I wasn't able to able to really play with the gorgeous colors today.

I know Ash, can you believe that it took me this long to do a look with them?

  I know that is almost sacrilegious especially when they had a shadow called Necronomicon. Which being a massive Lovecraft and EvilDead/Army of Darkness Fan I knew I had to have the collection.

The shadow is just as awesome as this movie....and of course seriously LOVECRAFT!

 I also got a sample of the new product, Shadow Bind, that is releasing in January in my order as well.

Damn straight Ash, it is FUCKING Groovy!

  The Shadow Bind literally transformed these shadows from beautiful to FUCKING gorgeous. Don't worry there will be a review about this product later. But enough chattering, on to the look!

I used the following products for this look:

Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer 

Notoriously Morbid (NM) Shadow Bind * (releases in January)

NM They All Float
NM Black Cat Crossing
NM Ladder to Hell
NM Stripper Zombie
NM Book of Honorius ** (Halloween Limited Edition)
NM Necronomicon ** ( Halloween Limited Edition )

  Normally these shadows have a nice and pretty sparkle, but combined the with Shadow Bind it kicked it up 10 notches.

That was my face right there staring at my eye with the Shadow Bind..

   So seriously lovelies, even IF you missed the Halloween Limited Edition Set you still can get the other shadows and put them over Shadow Bind. If you want to pick up anything from Notoriously Morbid you can do so here. You can also follow then on Facebook, the Facebook Fanbook Page, and of course Instagram. And if you don't mind please head up to the top and rate this post! ^_~  So until next time lovelies, stay groovy and watch the original Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 cause Bruce Campbell is the man.

Mani Monday Featuring the Halloween Collection and the National Adoption Day Special Polish From Carpe Noctem Cosmetics

*Press*

Hello Lovelies!

    I am back again with another Mani Monday Edition. Today I have some really special polishes from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics! Emily contacted me and asked if I would be interested in helping show off her new Halloween Releases and of course naturally I said YES!!!

Did someone say Halloween?

    Halloween is my favorite holiday and I am so thrilled to get any collection that has to do with it.  I like how Carpe Noctem's newest releases aren't your traditional or non traditional Halloween colors it is a combination of both. Just take a look...

Gresskar 

  Gresskar is a combination of what I would call a traditional and non traditional Halloween colors. It is a pale golden orange color with a hint of holo. While orange is what I would consider a traditional Halloween color due to orange being associated with Jack-O-Lanterns it is soft and delicate enough to wear anytime and anywhere.

Midnight Madness

Midnight Madness is one of my favorites in this collection. It is what I would consider a traditional Halloween color due to the gorgeous deep bluish purple color with just the right dose of holo making it sparkly but nothing like a Twilight Vampire. 

Raspberry Beret

Raspberry Beret is another one of the polishes that what I would consider a non Traditional Halloween Color.While it is a gorgeous combination of both a burgundy and raspberry jelly with holo scattered through out, it isn't blood red that are associated with Vampires and Zombies. But just the right hint of fall with a dash of pink.

Take a Drink Michael (reformulation)

Take a Drink Michel (Old Formula - Discontinued)

  Next up is another favorite of mine, the reformulation of  Take A Drink Michael inspired by my favorite vampire movie The Lost Boys. I have included the swatch of the original for a reference between the two colors. The new version is much darker with the black base and filled with more holo. Both versions are simply gorgeous I can't I pick a favorite between the two.

 

 

Home, Forever

  Finally last but not least, is a super special polish in honor of National Adoption Day called Home, Forever.  Emily mentioned that she wanted to do a special polish in honor of National Adoption Day that is close to her heart. I have two cousins who are adopted and our family wouldn't have been the same without the addition of those two beautiful ladies. So I was honored that Emily asked if I was interested in swatching this color for her. It is a beautiful coral shade with hints of holo in the sun. It isn't your bright orange coral or the shocking pink coral but a lovely hybrid of the two colors with lots of sparkle. It will be available soon before National Adoption Day (November 22nd) and as soon as it goes live in the store I will link it here.

Check out this gorgeous jelly!

We wanted our fingers and toes done..

Now here is a little something extra from my littlest Dreadful. She is loves having her nails painted and is like her mother and loves sparkles so she wanted to show her nails off to everyone as well. She picked out Carpe Noctem's discontinued polish The Blob from last years' Halloween Collection . I love the sparkles of this jelly and I am secretly hoping that this polish returns so I don't have to be a mad horder with my bottle. *hint hint Emily ^_~*

  Well lovelies that is if for this installment. But I will be back possibly today or tomorrow with a special Halloween Mani so stay tuned for that. If you want to pick up any of these polishes you can pick them up here. You can also follow Carpe Noctem on Facebook, in her Facebook Fan Group , and on Instagram.

Until Next Time Lovelies!

My Dark Heart Cries Bloody and Black Tears..

Hello Lovelies!
    I am finally back and trying to get back into the swing of blogging again due to having to come to a screeching halt due to wedding plans. However, I am back and I am married. There is no body count (YET --but that is still yet to be determined) and I have learned that planning your own wedding is a fricking nightmare. Seriously, I have never wanted to just hit other people in the head with a hammer so much than during this time. But there will be a big post about that later, after I have had some time to breathe (and drink)

Thank you Patsy, I need at least 10 more bottles to recover..

   But enough of that, since I got married this month I missed out on a lot of  Halloween makeup ideas so I am trying to makeup up for that but posting not one but TWO eye looks from TWO different indie companies cause they have the same theme.. Tears.

First up is Black Tears...

I did this look using the following products...

Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer
Darling Girl Cosmetics Inferno Room, Sex On Fire, Slocked and Blue Flame (in the waterline)
The black tears are done with Wolfe FX
Oh My Lash Barbara Lashes
Tear detailing was done with 15pc Nail Art Design Brushes from the Born Pretty Store (use code KLH10 for 10% off your order and free shipping)


And you can't have black tears without crying Bloody Tears too!

For this look I used the following products
Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer
Dark Heart Designs Toxic , Vampire Heart, Audrey and Elizabeth
Sugarpill's Tako
Bloody Tears are done with Wolfe FX
Oh My Lash Barbara Lashes
Tear detailing was done with 15 pc Nail Art Detailing Brushes from the Born Pretty Store (use code KLH10 for 10% off your order and free shipping)

Well, I hope that you enjoyed these creepy crying Halloween inspired looks. Do you have any special plans for Halloween? Any special looks planned?  I am hoping to squeeze in some more looks before next Friday so fingers crossed!

Until next time lovelies!

Guest post over at Toxid Lotus!

Hello Lovelies!
     I know that this post is going up rather late but I am still trying to get into the swing of things after the wedding. I did manage to actually put on a FULL face of makeup (I know I haven't done that in a while) and I also did a guest post over at Toxid- Lotus today! So head over there and see what I did...

Yup it is totally Halloween inspired

Until Next Time Lovelies!

A Swatch Here and A Swatch There: Limited Edition Halloween Collection from BeautyBarBaby

*purchased*

Hello Lovelies!

  I am back with another swatch post and today I am super excited to have the new limited edition Halloween Collection from BeautyBarBaby. While there really is no "fall" season here in Florida I am super excited about Halloween since it is my favorite holiday.I know that some people don't get excited about Halloween and when I hear that I look like this... 

What do you mean you don't like Halloween? 

   Either way, if you do or you don't like it there are a lot of really awesome collections that are coming out and most of them are limited edition which means that I feel like this...

LIMITED EDITION + BEAUTY BUDGET= PISSED OFF DREADFUL

   While I hate limited editions I am an obsessive hoarder about the collections and this one is no exception. I would be willing to do almost anything to get them.. Well almost anything..

Yup I really want that Halloween Collection.

 But, enough about the strange lengths that I would go to get some awesome Halloween collections. I did manage to snag this beauty and you won't be disappointed. So who wants to see some swatches?

I do! I do! Show me some swatches!

 First, let's take a look at the really neat presentation...
     Three shadows and a limited edition lip balm are packed into a lovely little wooden coffin covered with cobwebs, filled with little spiders, skulls and bones..

Yup that is a spine, get your mind out of the gutter you perv! XD

The goodies without the coffin

    Yup, you are reading that right. The lip balm is a Zombie Cure and VEGAN. So not only do you have soft lips but you won't turn into a zombie while wearing this and smells like caramel apples. YUM! (*While it may be a zombie cure, we suggest that you don't get bitten by the undead cause seriously have you seen zombie movies? They travel in packs. O.O)

Next we have the swatches..

Six Feet Under is listed as a matte based burnt pumpkin orange with shimmering red, bronze and silver highlights shifting throughout. This I would have to say this is more of an mixture of a brick red and a pumpkin orange and reminds me of the beautiful red leaves of fall. While this may not sound appealing, the color is simply gorgeous.

  Next, we have Rest in Pieces which is listed as a shimmery burnt gold with shifts of shimmered orange and tons of sparkle! I would almost say this color is borderline metallic with the gold however it is more natural verses bling on the lids.

Finally, last but not least is my favorite Dark Haunting. I know that this is no surprise since this is described as shimmery indigo shifting DUO CHROME (we all know how I love my duo chromes) that shifts from blue to purple depending on the lighting. While Rest in Pieces flirts with being metallic Dark Haunting embraces it. The shift gives it an amazing metallic like quality and this color is an amazing shadow and would probably be a kick ass liner too.

The next three shadows are extra shadows that were created for the halloween collection and if you get your preorder in quickly you will get these THREE shadows FREE. Yup, that is a treat within itself. However, in case you do miss this chance to get these for free they will be around until Halloween to purchase so you can still pick them up which will also be released on October 1st.

Bag of Bones is a shimmery white with enough sparkle to catch the light just right without leaving you feeling like a disco ball at a dance.

Pumpkin in a Disco is a light orange packed with sparkle. Cinderella would have wanted her pumpkin to look this good.

 Finally, last but not least is Bat My Eyes. A black shadow jammed back with purple and pink sparkle stunning enough to enchant any creature of the night that you set you eyes upon. While recent media may claim that vampires may sparkle they will not hesitate to tap you like a keg and drain you dry so tread with caution when attempting to enchant creatures of the night. See images below from my favorite vampire movie of all time...

Whether you like your vampires sparkly or not this really is a kick ass collection. You can pick up this collection for pre-order (it ships out October 1 so you will have all month to look fabulous before Halloween roles around) for $23. You can pick it up on BeautyBarBaby on Etsy. You can also follow BeautyBarBaby on Facebook, Instagram and the Facebook Fan Group to get the latest sneak peeks of up coming collections (like this one).  So, until next time lovelies!

In the Pursuit of Fabulous Review of I. Fairy Dolly + Red Lenses from Uniqso

Hello again lovelies!
   I am back with another contact lens review. Since things have finally calmed down from last month I can catch up with reviews and tutorials. This time I am reviewing the super popular I. Fairy Dolly + Red lenses from Uniqso. These are one of Uniqso's most popular lenses and I completely know why. They are simply gorgeous. While these are only my second pair of red lenses, I have to say that I am completely in love with them. I mean honestly, when you take a look at the color you can see why.

Look at how vibrant the I Fairy Dolly + Red is!

Now to the actual review. I don't know why I am looking away from the camera but I will try to correct that habit with the next review. Also I learned while editing this video, I apparently say "um" a lot. Perhaps because I am nervous.O.o Yet another habit to fix as well...

Now just in case you missed the breakout of ratings in the video here it is:

Enlargement- 9 out of 10 bats
  These lenses do enlarge your eyes drastically, being 16.2mm, and you will notice a difference. However they are not the largest lenses I have. But they are a solid middle ground in between. They won't enlarge your eye so drastically that it will give you an alien like appearance, but they will be noticeable to everyone.

Color and Design-9.8 out of 10 bats
   I am seriously totally in love with these lenses because they are so intense and super vivid. They are two toned so they are not going to blend with your natural eye color as  much as the 3 and 4 toned lenses. But in all honesty red lenses aren't the most "natural looking" lenses out there. While there are some lenses that are red that give your eyes a warm rich velvety look. These are BAM! In your face red. So these are perfect for dramatic looks, cosplay outfits, even Halloween makeup. You can wear them for everyday looks, like I do, however people will stare and whisper. So be prepared. ^_~

Comfort-9.5 out of 10 bats
   Due to their 55% water content, these lenses are really comfortable.I wore theses lenses at a local convention for around 10 hours and didn't have a problem. After the 9th hour my eyes were a little dry so carry drops with you if you are going to wear them longer than 8 hours. I also love the fact that they are bright and vivid like a lot of Halloween/costume contact lenses but they don't have the "pinhole" or "tunnel vision" syndrome that a lot of costume lenses have. While I love costume lenses, the tunnel vision aspect can be aggravating while driving and costume lenses are a lot "thicker" so they tend to dry your eyes out quicker than circle lenses.

Overall- 9.6 out of 10 bats
  If you are looking for a bright and vivid red lens you really can't get any better than these. Not only do the lenses dramatically enlarge you eyes without giving you an alien like appearance, they are super comfortable without drying your eyes out. The color and design honestly can't be beat. They are extremely bright and vivid and people can tell that your eyes are red from across the room. They are just as vivid as some of the costume lenses that I have and they don't have give you "tunnel vision" syndrome which you often find with costume lenses.  So if you want a true bright red lens that will get you noticed, theses are the lenses you are looking for.

Until next time my dears,
