Hello Lovelies!
I am feeling horribly run down with the recent influx of the plague in the Dreadful household. All I really want to do right now is sleep and avoid the holiday season all together since it caught me COMPLETELY off guard. Originally I thought that I was going to be done by October for all the holiday shopping however I was derailed due to wedding planning. Then I figured I could go ahead and start now and head out and shop for presents instead of doing a mad dash.
Yeah, that was a BIG mistake
Then I remembered why I hate the holiday season with the crowds and all of the people.
I worked retail for years so it turned me into this...
It makes me want to run back to the house and hide away and do makeup with minimal human interaction
Let me hide away in my cave with my makeup.
Which resulted in this spotted look...
I used the following products for this look Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer Notoriously Morbid's (NM) Nudist
NM Sheanimonkey
NM Mint to Die For
NM Jupiter Rain
NM Seek Not Revenge
NM Book of Shadows
NM Bad Trinity
NM Belle's Bounty
Jo Jo Lashes from Oh My Lash
Wolfe FX Essential Palette for the spots
However I will admit that I do like the holidays just not so much the hustle of the season. I do have some feelings. ^_~
If you are interested in purchasing any of the colors used for this look you can do so here. You can also follow Notoriously Morbid on Facebook, their Facebook Fan Page and on Instagram. So until next time lovelies, stay warm and avoid the holiday crowds!

Hello Lovelies!
I am back today with another eye of the day (eotd) this time from BeautyBarBaby. I am been feeling a little meh with my makeup looks recently. I don't know about you, I get into a funk and I think that all of my looks are kind of meh. In order to try to shake things up a littler, I decided to do a SUPER colorful look.
I wanted something as colorful as a rainbow but I didn't want to look like it threw up on me...
So I pulled out a handful of the brightest colors I could find...
I want that color and that one and that....
And when the colors weren't enough, I figured I would add SPOTS!
I haven't never seen one however I will admit that this spotted elephant is pretty darn cute
So this is what I came up with..
I used the following products for this look Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer BeautyBarBaby's (BBB) Cream & Sugar
BBB Happiness
BBB That's Really Bananas!
BBB Stinger
BBB Bordello
BBB Raven
BBB Cathouse
BBB Mountain Dewy
BBB Tantalizing
Jo Jo lashes from Oh My Lash
And spots are done with Wolfe FX Essential Palette
I hope that you enjoyed this look today and if you are interested in purchasing BeautyBarBaby products you can find them here on Etsy. You can also follow them on Facebook, their Facebook Fangroup, Instagram and Twitter. Until next time lovelies!

Hello lovelies!
I am back this time with a late entry this evening since I have just ushered my little Dreadfuls off to bed. I just finished up a Pride inspired look that Molly Pops of Color is putting together on Facebook. My makeup partner in crime Face By Emily and I decided to use the same colors and put our twist on our own pride inspired look and this is what I came up with.
This was the image I used as inspiration
The look by itself without the inspiration
Face by Emily's gorgeous look paired with mine
I love how two people can come up with entirely different looks with the same products!
We used the following products in this look
Love +, Butttercupcake, and Flamepoint from Sugarpill
I also used Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Eyeshadow base and Primer as well as Wolfe FX Essential Palette for the Rainbow Tears and dots.
Be sure the check out Face By Emily's Blog, Facebook and IG ! As well as Molly Pops of Color's Blog ,Facebook and IG as well to see more amazing looks for this awesome collab!
I hope that you enjoyed this EOTD and until next time!

Hello again lovelies!
I am back again in the SAME day. I know two EOTD posts in the same day? Does this woman walk around the house with two different eyes ? Yes, I do all the time. So much in fact that my kids and Mr Dreadful don't bat an eye anymore. This time with another EOTD/ FOTD look this time featuring My Pretty Zombie. I had heard about MPZ in the indie group that I frequent. So I decided to take the plunge and order and needless to say I am in love cause they are simply fantastic. I ohhhed and ahhhed over the pretties I got however due to the chaos of summer and three kids I haven't had the time to play or do makeup. Since I am always at swimming lessons it seems I wanted to do more of an aquatic look so this is what I came up with. I am not sure if it is more of a water dragon inspired look or a mermaid inspired look. So you decide and let me know!
I wanted to do a collage since I managed to capture the shift when my eye was semi closed.
Hello Lovelies!
I am back again after a week of no makeup with a EOTD! With everything that happened last week the last thing I wanted to think about was makeup but this week I wanted to get back into the swing of things with a new look and of course I was naturally drawn to blues. So I grabbed my favorite blues from Candii Blossom Cosmetics and decided to do a look today. This is what I came up with.
I just can't get enough of these gorgeous blues from Candii Blossom !
I wanted to add a bit of pop to the look so instead of a white or silver color I used tangerine.
I really liked how the tangerine pops against the blue and gives it a different look to this look. I used the following products on this look.
I used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk (blended out)
Tangerine Dream (inner corner)
Atlantis (middle lid)
Angel Eyes (outer lid)
Gypsy Smoke (crease and outer most portion lid)
Lotus (highlight)
Mermaid's Kiss (lower lash line)
You can purchase these lovely color from Candii Blossom here and you can also find them on Facebook here.
I hope that you enjoyed this EOTD and until next time lovelies!
Hello Lovelies!
Welcome back to another EOTD/ FOTD series this time featuring Dark Heart Designs! I have been on a blue kick lately so I while I really wanted to do another blue look I decided to go with green and purple look instead. Since I haven't done anything with green and purple I decided to pair the two colors with silver and black to obtain this dragon inspired look.
I hope that you enjoyed this look and if you have any any color suggestions that you would like to see me try just let me know! Until next time lovelies!
It appears that another month has ambushed us again. Those of you who follow me on my other social media pages will recognize the FOTD from late in March however due to the plague which attacked my house I wasn't able to steal away and post it to the blog. But I promise to do better! More posts this month, I promise! But anyways here is my most recent EOTD done with Candii Blossom Cosmetics.
This what I would consider more of a neutral eye look with a pop of color.
I wore this neutral-ish eye look to a baby shower and it was a huge hit. It was done used Candii Blossom Cosmetics: Oasis, Fairyland Green, Atlantis, Miami Rose, Shikomi, Purple Rain and Intergalatic. The lashes were also from the Born Pretty Store (see the link on the side). Now on to my favorite look of the two since naturally I love bolder and brighter looks. Here is the full face look that I did with a tutorial at the tail end of March.
Oh how I love the dramatic looks. ..
For the eyes I used Candii Blossom Cosmetic's : Fluff, Fairyland Green (I am in love with that shade), Angel Eyes, Atlantis, Intergalatic, Purple Rain, Skikomi and Maiko (foiled for the golden dots).
The lenses are from Pinky Paradise (see the links on the side to take you directly to the page) and the lashes were from the Born Pretty Store (used coupon code KLH10 for 10% off your order from them).
I even have a full face photo of this look (sadly I have chronic RBF so I always look angry. >.<)
#thebitchfaceisstronginthisone
And as promised here is the actual tutorial for this look. So, this is like two posts in one but enough of my babbling and on with the tutorial!
I hope that you have enjoyed these rather long EOTD/FOTD post and coming up are more EOTD posts, I have a review from a lovely indie company called Innocent + Twisted to stay tuned!
Hello again lovelies!
I am back again with another EOTD series this time from Korpse Kosmetics. As a lot of you may know Korpse is run by KimiToxxxic from YT . I recently ordered her Taste My Rainbow and Too Ghoul for School collections and I figured it was about time to bust into those colors. I also picked up Visual Kei which is a nice matte black. Why would I pick up another black eyeshadow when I all ready have at least 15 other lack shadows? Because I am looking for the perfect black which resembles my little black goth heart. No, in all honestly I can never have enough black since I love darker looks and I have various shades of black through out my collection so I will always usually pick up a red or a black or both from a collection. Just as sure as my dog will give me the sad puppy dog eyes when I am cooking in the kitchen for me to hook him up with something special, I will usually pick up on or both of those shades. It is the goth in me I guess. But anyways...I did this look the same day as the Rainbow Dash inspired look (Yes, I often do two different eye looks and yes I do go out to pick my children up like that. I am THAT mom in the car line.) and instead of posting two EOTD looks in the same day I decided to share it today.
As you can tell I am really into dots lately...
I used LOL, Abby, Lagoona, Spectra, ROFL and Visual Kei. The dots are done with Wolfe Fx's Essential Palette (how in the world I survived without this awesome face paint palette I will never know. I want to use it all the time now!) I hope that you enjoyed this look and that you are enjoying the series!
Hello lovelies!
I am back again today with another EOTD/ FOTD series this time featuring another one of my favorite indie companies Lunatick Cosmetic Labs. I was feeling especially bright today since it is "supposedly" the first day of Spring. But in all honestly, Mother Nature has been on a drinking bender this winter with the strange erratic weather we have been having. We had an "ice storm" in Florida. Seriously, what the hell? Mother Nature I dunno if you were trying to regain your youth with a drinking spree but we all felt it and hope that you are back on the wagon. But I digress, here is my look of the day and I wanted something extra bright. So instantly my hands wandered to my AlieNEON glitter stacker. It is pure bright neony goodness in a glittery stacker. (** Yes it hasn't officially been approved in the US for our eyes however if it is good enough for international lovely eyes then it is good enough for me. Always test a product our on yourself first before slathering all over yourself. While I understand wanting to be fabulous, always be safe first..) So here is what I came up with a My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash, inspired look. Cause honestly who are we kidding? Neon rainbows and ponies are awesome.
Bright, glittery and NEON what more could you ask for?
For this look I used the AlieNEON stacker and Dracula's Dream from Lunatick Labs. I also used London Calling from Lit Cosmetics. For the assorted dots and the front portion of my brow I used the Essential Palette from Wolfe FX. So there you have it . Bright, neon rainbows based of ponies if that doesn't scream spring I don't know what does.
Hello lovelies!
I am back with another installment of the EOTD (eye of the day)/ FOTD (face of the day) Series. Today I am sharing my look done with Notoriously Morbid. I just recently finished up my review of Notoriously Morbid which can be found here. So needless to say they are one of my new favorite indie companies. Lately we have been the plague house with my three little Dreadfuls being sick and then they managed to share strep with me. So I have literally not put any makeup on my face for about a week. Hence I needed to do something bright and colors after resembling a shambling snot zombie from the Walking Dead. I know such an attractive mental picture. But in all honestly I did look like poop for seven days so I needed something blue and pretty to remind me of the nice warm water at the beach (where I slather SPF 50 on to prevent me resembling anything like a boiled lobster) and the result was this. I even managed to do a makeup tutorial for this look which I am in the process of editing however Mr Dreadful is sick and my three Dreadfuls are home for Spring Break so my quiet computer time is non existent. Once the editing is complete I will add the video link to this post. But enough blathering on to the actual collage..
Yup I was definitely in a blue mood...
For this look I used Snow Queen's Return, Jupiter Rain, Douglas Firs , Snow's Fury, Morgana (under the lower lashline and foiled to make this KICK ASS electric blue eyeliner!!) and Goodbye Sweetie. I am so in love with Morgana foiled! It is gorgeous dry but foiled really makes it pop! I now have an obsession to foil all of my Notoriously Morbid shadows. Well it is a bit to quiet and I need to check on my patient (Mr Dreadful) so until next time lovelies...
**Update! Here is the link to the video tutorial for this look. I swear that when I am doing my makeup for videos it looks like a hot mess during the process but in the end it comes together nicely.. Thanks to Alisa for giving me a name for this look.**
Hello lovelies!
Welcome to another first in a new series, the EOTD/FOTD Series (or Eye/s of the Day or Face of the Day series) I do a lot of looks and I thought that I would share them with all of you out there in blog land since some of you may or may not follow my Facebook page or my Instagram. But it is entirely possibly that you are following and have missed my EOTDs due to Facebook's new fail matrix. So I will be sharing here on my blog some of the various looks from one of my favorite indie companies BeautyBarBaby Mineral Makeup.
This look was done with a combination of BeautyBarBaby's :Snow Ball, Black Widow, Devil's Breath, Midnight, Poisoned Apply, Seductress and Electric Blue glitter on my eyes. I am also wearing Spicy Watermelon on my cheeks and Inferno Lipstick .
For this look I did it with a combination of Beauty Bar Baby's : SnoBall, Devil's Breath, Poisoned Apple, Black Widow and Gothic Grey. I am also wearing I Fairy Dolly + Red Lenses from Uniqso. I used the same brushes that were used in the look above from the BornPrettyStore.
You can purchase BeautyBarBaby's gorgeous makeup here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BeautyBarBaby I hoped you like the start of this new series! Until next time lovlies!
Hello lovelies!
It has been awhile since I have updated by blog but summer is usually a super hectic time for the Dreadful family. It hasn't helped that it has rained the ENTIRE summer which my little Dreadfuls have wreaked havoc upon the house and often times my sanity. But thankfully the sun has reappeared and I can return to this blog and video editing without wanting to pass out on my face at the end of the night. So anyways, I am back with a much needed and overdue review of LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs. What can I say about them? I LOVE THEM! I did a video review of their amazing products so I won't go reiterate the entire video review but beneath the video review are swatches of the palettes I have from them as well as the lipsticks and what my thoughts are about each of them.So on with the video review...
So there you have it a mini review in a nutshell, they are amazing, however here are the rest of my thoughts on their products and I will start it off with my favorite palette from their line the Zombie Defense Palette.I promise to make this short and sweet since I could write a book on why I love their palettes but no one wants to read a 50 page review on makeup. ^_~
Zombie Defense Palette over NYX Milk
Zombie Defense Palette-Not only does this collection have an amazing theme, I personally love the individual names of the colors. With all of their products the pigmentation is amazing however this palette not only has amazing color pay off there is a slight touch of glittery sparkle to the shadows which isn't over powering for those who don't are for sparkle. I couldn't capture the slight sparkle on film with the slight exception of the swatch of Braaiinns. I love red shadows, I just simply can't get enough of them and Red Rum Red is simply gorgeous. It is more of a blue based red (which I am partial to) rather than what I normally see which is an orange based red.
Asylum City Palette over NYX Milk
Asylum City Palette- If you are looking for a bright matte palette this is the collection for you. Not only are the colors super pigmented there is no shimmer to the shades whatsoever. Pure matte plain and simply and I love the fact that this collection essentially comes with its' own "highlight" color (Sister Mary) and "smokey eye essential color" (Confinement). I love seeing collections like this especially when I am looking for a palette. I tend to do darker looks so I need a good matte black staple and since I do more "dramatic" looks Sister Mary is the perfect highlight color.
Jack's Nightmare Palette over NYX Milk
Jack's Nightmare Palette- I have to say that I really like how Lunatick thought outside of the traditional "Nightmare Before Christmas" box. Normally when I think of Nightmare before Christmas I think of blacks, whites and purples. However I like how they have incorporated softer colors to this theme and called it Jacks' Nightmare. This palette like the Zombie Defense Palette is more shimmer than matte but I think that it works with the whole theme. The colors are lighter which appeals to more people and can be easily incorporated to a work look without getting lots of double takes while you go grocery shopping. I especially love the two blue colors in this collection which just makes me think of winter.
Finally last but not least of the eyeshadow swatches, I have a custom palette from Lunatick as well so I just call it my custom palette which was done along the lines of their old packaging before they moved to the new six shadow palettes.So I have broken it up into Row 1 and Row 2.
Custom Palette Row 1 over NYX Milk
Row 1- You may notice that Sister Mary from the Asylum City palette is in this row. But Cynaide, Toxicity and Poison Apple are from their Toxic Palette. They are all matte and extremely bright and bold. Pink and No. 5 (was in an older discounted palette) are not currently in a palette however if we all sent a lovely note to Catherine (the sweet and lovely owner of Lunatick) perhaps she will be so kind as to create a gorgeous palette with those two colors (*hint hint Catherine if you are reading this. ^_~). From this gorgeous row of colors it was hard to choose a favorite however I would have to go with the gorgeous and stunning No.5 (which is an amazing lipstick shade) but I was super pleased with all of these shades.
Custom Palette Row 2 over NYX Milk
Row 2- As you can tell Row 2 is comprised of neutrals which can appeal to anyone. The various shades of brown can create several gorgeous combinations of a neutral eye without compromising color pay off. Fire, Sea, Aether and Esotericism are all from the Fifth Element Palette which is perfect for everyday wear or for a pinup look. Both Light and Eclipse are from the Ancient Elements Palette which is another natural palette that won't disappoint. If I had to pick a favorite color from this row it would have to be Sea since it is such a dark rich chocolate brown with just a hint of shimmer. Perfect for an everyday look or a dramatic smokey eye.So if you are looking for more of a neutral every day palette you can't go wrong with either of these two collections.
But wait! There is more! I also have two of Lunatick's lipsticks or shall I say Apocalipsticks. These lipsticks have amazing color pay off and have a nice light sweet smell. I have some indie lipsticks that have a horrible metallic smell and I never use them because of the smell. I have two of their gorgeous lipsticks and neither color disappoints. They glide on smooth and are super moisturizing. I have worn both out with several compliments. These gorgeous shades will get you noticed.
Saint
Saint is a gorgeous light blue color which reminds me of either a robin's egg blue or the sky on a super clear day. It is lighter color so you can build the intensity that you want.
No. 5
No. 5 is my favorite of the two colors that I own. This gorgeous green is probably the closest I have seen out there for a metallic green color. It is simply gorgeous. I can't get over how amazing this color is.
So there it is lovelies..my full review of Lunatick Cosmetic Labs. You honestly can't go wrong with ordering from this amazing company. The products are gorgeous and pigmented. I love the fact that they have something for everyone from bold and bright to soft and neutral. Their customer service can't be beat and the quality of their shadows is incredible. So if you are looking for a new company to try out don't hesitate to try Lunatick Cosmetic Labs, you won't be disappointed. Until next time lovelies!
