A Doll and A Dame look Smashing in a Bordello

*Press*

Hello Lovelies,

   I am back with not one but TWO looks from BeautyBarBaby's newest Pinup Collection. I got both the red and the purple based collections and I did a look with each of them. There is also a gorgeous neutral set that I have my eye on but that will have to be for next time. When I hear the world Pinup it just makes me think of the ultimate sexiness and these shadows are NO exception.

And nothing screams sexy like Dita Von Teese.

I essentially started with the red, since I have a weakness for red shadows.

Red is SUPER SEXY

I used the following items for this look:

Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer

BeautyBarBaby (BBB) Cream & Sugar

BBB Broad (Pinup Collection)

BBB Doll (Pinup Collection)

BBB Dame (Pinup Collection)

BBB Striptease

BBB Raven

BBB Red Fairy Dust (in the inner corner)

Born Pretty's 15 Piece Pink Brush set (used code KLH10 for a discount)

Then I had to do a purple look since purple is another one of my favorites.....

I used the following items for this look:

Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer

BeautyBarBaby (BBB) Miss Daisy

BBB Bordello (Pinup Collection)

BBB Brothel (Pinup Collection)

BBB Cathouse (Pinup Collection)

Born Pretty 15 Piece Pink Brush Set

A Swatch Here and a Swatch There: Notoriously Morbid's Blood Countess Collection

*purchased*

 Hello Lovelies!
    I am back again with some swatches from the new Blood Countess Collection , based off the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, from Notoriously Morbid today. She was the most prolific female serial killer in history believing that bathing in the blood of young female virgins to retain her youth. While that is excessively extreme to try to obtain beauty, you don't have to go to such lengths to get this collection. While there were no animated gifs dealing with The Countess, I figured that Sweeney Todd was the next best thing.

Oh how I loved this movie!

**Please note that I am not glorifying the death's of the Countess' victims nor am I making light of the horror that she inflicted.She was and is a human monster and by studying her crimes and behavior we can capture other monsters that are out today. Now let's get back to happier subjects like makeup!**

Enough negativity, let's get back to makeup!

    The Blood Countess is what I would consider a mini collection consisting of 3 shadows, a blush and a polish and is part of their permanent line so there is no need to get upset and bake someone into a pie in order to get this collection in your hot little hands.

Relax Sweeney and Mrs Lovett there is not need for violence in order to get this collection.

   The three shadows are a gorgous combination of  purples and reds as well! I adore purple shadows and these are no exception. So, prepare yourself and your beauty budget and check out these swatches.. All swatches were done over Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer and taken in natural light.

Welcome to your grave beauty budget cause this is a gorgeous collection..

Gilded Mirror is described as a plum/mauve base with an airy gold overlay. It is the lightest of the three and the hint of gold gives it a nice sparkle in the sun.

Next we have Goblet of Red which is described as a rich merlot red with a  powerful blue green shift. It is very similar to the Autumn Flower shadow from the Out in the Black VC but darker and richer. So if you were sad about missing Autumn Flower definitely pick up this shadow. 

Finally, last but not least is Nobel Rage which is describe on the site as a midnight black base layered with metallic amethyst and rose and gold sparkles. This is a gorgeous black packed full of sparkles the purple and the rose really shine in the sun as seen in this swatch.

Next we have a NEW Lipcraft color gloss in this collection.. I really love their glosses so I did a little dance when I opened my order.

Dance for the new lip pretty!!

Cachtice is described as a vermilion shimmer with medium to opaque coverage.  On me it is a hybrid color of salmon and and rose. I like how they stayed away from the blood red lip and stuck with something lighter and softer which can be worn everyday. The coverage is medium and can easily be built to a nice opacity.

I don't know about you I have always had a fondness for red polishes and Dungeon is just that...

   Dungeon is described as a deep claret red with a subtle red shimmer. Dungeon reminds me of a deep dark brick red or even dried blood which is something that I can definitely see in a dungeon. It dries matte but looks just as amazing when a shiny top coat is placed on top of it. Just take a look...

You can see the hint of red sparkles in this photo

Finally we come to the blush in this collection, Sadist. Sadist is described as a soft rosy mauve with illusive gold shimmer. It can be built up for intense color or blended out for a softer delicate look.

Blushes always make me think of brides for some reason..

Personally, I always blend out my blushes since I am not a fan of intense color on the cheeks. I swatched  Sadist over a bare arm working from the lightest and blended out to the darkest.

Swatched going from light to dark and blended out..

  It is hard to pick favorites out of this collection but if you want the whole collection it does come in the full size option for $30 and the mini for $17. Or you can pick up your favorites individually depending on your beauty budget.

Beauty Budgets, we all hate them. 

Well, I hope that you enjoyed this swatch installment. You can pick up this collection  on Notoriously Morbid's site. You can also follow Notoriously Morbid on Facebook, Instagram and join their Facebook Fanpage for the latest news and sneak peeks on coming collections. Do you have any favorites out of this new collection? Until next time lovelies!

EOTD: The Fluff Emience of Purple Rain with Gypsy Smoke...(and some swatches too)

*Purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
    I am back again today with a new EOTD featuring Candii Blossom Cosmetics. I dunno about you, but there are some days that just feel a color when I am doing makeup and today just felt like a purple kind of day. Candii Blossom Cosmetics has some really gorgeous purples but out of all of them Purple Rain is my favorite. Since I am child of the 80s, when I hear Purple Rain I instantly think of Prince.

Yup, Purple Rain will forever invoke the thought of Prince.

  There is something about a man with eyeliner and makeup wearing high heels that just makes me so happy. Perhaps the 80s is where my love of drag queens started cause almost every band had men in makeup and Prince was just the embodiment of sass and fabulousness.

Look at all this sass and fabulousness!

 When I saw Purple Rain in the CBC store, not only did the song pop into my head but I knew I had to have it.

I totally wanted Purple Rain on my eyeballs immediately.

But enough chattering on about how lovely the color is and awesome dancing Prince Gifs,let's get to what you are really after! Pictures!

I used the following items for this look:

Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer

Candii Blossom Cosmetics Fluff

Candii Blossom Cosmetics Purple Rain

Candii Blossom Cosmetics Eminence

 Candii Blossom Cosmetics Gypsy Smoke

Wolfe FX Essential Palette for the dots and liner
Ardell Corset Lashes


Now both Fluff and Purple Rain are out of stock currently, however they should be restocked soon so don't cry...

Don't Cry Prince, Purple Rain will be back in stock soon.

 I hope that you enjoyed this EOTD and some added swatches! You can pick up Candii Blossom Cosmetics on Etsy. You can also follow them on Facebook, Instagram and their Facebook Fan Page for the latest sales updates. Until next time lovelies!

A Swatch Here and A Swatch There: The New Lipcraft Glosses from Notoriously Morbid

*Purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
    I am back! I know some of you are wondering where the hell have I been? Or at least I am hoping that some of you have missed me.

Yeah, here is to hoping..

   I have been attempting to wrangle my horde and get them ready for school which starts for two of them on Monday so hence the dash to the store for supplies, orientation, realizing that you forgot to buy pens for your oldest and then having to go BACK to the store, swimming lessons and of course everything in between. On top of all of that my computer decided to constantly reboot itself for a day making it impossible for me to hop on line and post. Cause I will freely admit that now I have become addicted to animated gifs and sarcastic photos to get my rambling across that I can't imagine my blog without them.

Animated gifs are so much fun!

But I am finally back today with the end in sight since school starts on Monday and everything is done.

Yeah, who am I kidding. Nothing is EVER done.

And of top of that I received some Morbid Mail (mail from Notoriously Morbid) with her new Lipcraft Glosses. Yup, lip glosses and Lovecraft mingled together to have these gorgeous love children. Oh the joy! My dark heart was set a flutter. I immediately ripped open the package and slathered these lippies on.

This is EXACTLY what I looked like 2 seconds after opening up the package.

Just take a look at them..

Yup, I made all kinds of weird duck faces for these swatches for you to enjoy.

Pale Sanity

Pale Sanity is described on the site as a creamy tangerine with a gold shift with a sheer opacity. While most people automatically think of ORANGE when they see the word tangerine. However it is what I would call a neutral orange. It is pale and creamy with a hint of gold perfect for a nude lip.

Serannian Dreams

Serannian Dreams is described as a hot bubblegum pink which has medium to full opaque coverage. This gloss is BRIGHT especially on the girls with corpse like complexions that I have. It doesn't take much to get fully opaque which is an awesome plus.

Cosmic Gulfs

Finally, last but not least, is Cosmic Gulfs which is described as a metallic purple with medium opaque coverage. So if you if you are follower of my blog, I immediately must have anything with the term metallic on it. So, I had to definitely get this gloss. It is a gorgeous medium purple which builds up to fully opaque quite nicely. While some of you may think that metallic automatically makes you think that you are going to have metal lips and it isn't wearable. This is what I would call a wearable metallic. It isn't BOOM I have super robotic lips that are so awesome I can destroy a city instantly! It is a nice subtle vampy metallic purple which you can wear without people thinking you are here to take over the planet. As you can tell this is my favorite of the three since I love metallics (even super destroying planet domination lips) and purple.

If you are hell bent on world domination work on your evil villain laugh in this lipgloss.

So if you have the yearning to add some awesome Lipcraft Gloss to your lips you can purchase them here for$4.50 each.

They can all be yours...

Sailor Moon Crystal EOTD Series: Is that a Cat with a Crescent Moon?

*Purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
    I am back again with another Sailor Moon Crystal inspired look. I am completely obsessed with Sailor Moon all over again while I am waiting for the second episode to make an appearance on Hulu. I am thinking of rewatching the original but that would interrupt my binge watching Orange Is The New Black.

Yup this is me the morning after I binge watch..

   But I was inspired to do the characters either before or when they appeared so obviously Luna needed some love. Because who doesn't love a talking cat with a crescent moon that transforms you into a Sailor Scout?

I also wanted to participate in the Darling Girl Tutorial Giveaway so I decided to do a pictorial for this look...

Starting from the top left corner and going clockwise..

 1. I first put my A Max Red Circle lenses in from Uniqso (use code "dreadfullydivine" for 10% your order)
2. Then I primed my eye with Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer
3. I applied Darling Girl  (DG)Cosmetics D'Lilac Sun in the brow area and a small amount of Nightwatch in the inner corner of my lower lash line
4. Next I applied (DG)  Chick Flick all over the lid
5. I placed (DG) Mistress in the crease
6. Next I placed (DG) The Count over Mistress
7. Then I blended the colors into one another
8. I touched up the colors after blending in order to make the colors more defined and added London Calling to the other portion of my lower lash line
9.  I lined my upper lid with my to go cat eye liner
10. I also lined my waterline with white and then patted (DG) Obviously A Wig on top of it. Then I placed a small amount on the lid and added a mixing medium to it and created a metallic pink purple liner.
11. I drew on my brows and then added the Crescent moon with Wolfe Fx Essential Palette.

Here is a collage of the finished look as well...

I had a lot of fun creating this look and stay tuned for more Sailor Moon Crystal inspired eye of the days. Be sure to check out Darling Girl Cosmetics. You can also find her on Facebook and their fangroup here. Until next time lovelies!
