Hello Lovelies!
I am back with an actual makeup look as well today.I have been feeling like crap for a week since I (and my two younger kids) came down with the flu and I haven't worn a stitch of makeup for a week. Today was the first day that I didn't feel like a zombie extra in the Walking Dead I wanted to put on some makeup and this is the result.
Done with Darling Girl CosmeticsElven Magic, Sunset Strip (applied with DG Glitter Glue), Jeweled Taupe, Anam Cara and Painted World (applied the the waterline).
Born Pretty Store lashes Criss Cross Mink Lashes#D-5 (use code KLH10 for a discount and free shipping!)
I hope that you enjoyed this look and until next time lovelies!

Hello Lovelies!
I know this is pure insanity that I have not one but two posts today. But this EOTD is just too lovely not to blog about. Notoriously Morbid has recently started up a monthly subscription and it is continuously impresses me each month. Due to the wedding chaos, which is thankfully over, I haven't been able to blog about the Vanishing Cabinet. However I finally get some time to open up this collection and take a look at it.
My poor makeup was locked up like zombies in a hospital until recently
To my glee and surprise this collection was based off the Walking Dead...
Yup, you know that show that EVERYONE is talking about...
However, I was wondering how Carrie and Laura were going to portray this collection since it is a zombie based series. Where they going to go with the traditional zombie gore colors or were they going to do something different? And to my very pleasant surprise, this collection is mainly neutrals. I chatted with Laura about this for a bit and they wanted to do colors based off the characters. Which I really liked. While I love zombies and gore colors, and truth be told I am not much of a neutral girl, it can be a bit overwhelming this time of year.
So many zombies... all over the place! What about zombie love in July?!?!
So, I dove head first into this collection and this is the look that I came up with. While everyday is Halloween for me, most people not so much..
Daryl is totally with me that everyday should be Halloween..cause Al Jourgensen says so
I created this neutral eye that you can wear to work and secretly support your love for zombies and shout that EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN without worrying that your boss will give you the bung eye.
That blue liner there.. is Silent Samurai foiled.. Yup beautiful isn't it? <3
Notoriously Morbid's Cherokee Rose, Officer Friendly , Pray I'm Dead and Silent Samurai (foiled as a liner and on the lower lash line as well) from the October Vanishing Cabinet
But I know that you are going, Dreadful, this is a Limited Edition and I NEED IT.
Seriously look at that liner! No really you can have it too ....
Well lovelies Notoriously Morbid is going to be listing the overstock of the colors soon so be sure to check out the Facebook pageand the Facebook Fan Page to see when. You can pick up these colors and more on the website and be sure to follow them on Instagram.
I am back again with more swatches and even an eye swatch or two from BeautyBarBaby. I just can't get enough of her lovely products that I am constantly like this when I see something new coming out...
Yup, this is me a total BBB addict.
However, I have noticed that I hadn't run across too many swatches on the net so I needed to remedy that.
Cause if there are more addicts out there she will create more products for us, RIGHT?
So without further ado, here are some more swatches for you enjoy and hopefully become as hopelessly addicted to her products as I am.
Shagadelic Mojo is from the Fireworks Duo Chrome Collection. It is described as an iced mocha with blue, silver and red shifting undertones. While I am not a coffee drinker (I know I am some strange mutant not of this Earth) I would describe it as a creamy mocha with a lovely trio of shifts. I usually see more of the silver and blue in this swatch but when the light hits it just right the red shimmers through. It is delicate enough to wear everyday but the shifts just keep people guessing.
Sinner is described as a rich shimmery taupe/ blackened plum with gold sparks. I think that it is more of a marriage of taupe and plum since both colors are present but neither are overpowering. It is a great color to wear either by itself as in the eye swatch or with others.
Stinger is currently out of stock due to her recent sale, but keep an eye out for it being restocked. It is a gorgeous bright aqua blue . It reminds me of mermaids and would make an amazing eyeliner.
Ice Queen is described as a pearlescent silvery baby blue with gold undertones. The combination of both the silver and the light blue does give it as a pearly sheen and the hint of gold makes simply gorgeous!
Supergirl is described as a twist of vivid purple and blues with violet interference undertones. This is a lovely blurple color leaning more towards blue however the purple is definitely there. I love this color and for some reason the combination of the name and the color always makes me think of the classic Supergirl movie with Helen Slater.
Last but not least is White Chocolate, which is part of her new matte line. It is a primary white matte shade. This is always one of my favorite go to colors cause I can either use it in a look or as a highlight. Cause honestly everyone needs a matte white in their shadow collection since it is so versatile.
Well I hope that you enjoyed this newest installment of a Swatch Here and Swatch There with BeautyBarBaby. I have plenty to swatch and share with all of you so this will be an on going series (and yes, there will be other companies featured to cause you have to share the love and the addiction). If you would like to pick up these shades , or any others you can do so at the BeautyBarBaby site on Etsy. You can also follow BBB on Facebook, Instagram and their Fan Group on Facebook for the newest sneak peeks of upcoming collections. Until next time lovelies!
Hello lovelies!
Welcome back to another installment of the EOTD series. Today is a redo of a look that I wore to a family outing this weekend and I forgot to take a picture of it. =( ( #makeupartistproblems ) I hate it when I do that! However it was just to pretty to not redo and it is more of a neutral look that everyone can feel comfortable wearing.
Belle, Boe and Neno in a bar with Vampires? WHAT?
I know that a lot of you are wondering what is with the name of this look. So here is the madness behind it, it is all based off the various colors and collections from Notoriously Morbid. Notoriously Morbid has a lot of amazing bright and bold colors but she also carries some really gorgeous neutrals which I used for this look.
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 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!
I am back again with another contact lens review as we all know that I love contacts. I think that they open up endless makeup look possibilities so naturally a girl can never have too many. This time I am reviewing EOS WM-205 Max Sherbet lenses in Blue from Kiwiberry-1 Collection. One of my favorite combinations for makeup or looks in general is dark hair with blue eyes. It just screams exotic and alluring to me. I love it so much that it is no surprise that Mr. Dreadful has this hair and eye color combination. ^_~ So needless to say that I was super thrilled to receive these gorgeous lenses. But now on to what you are really waiting for pictures and the actual review!
Max Sherbet Blue- Isn't it a gorgeous color? *
This lens looks amazing with both dramatic and neutral looks!*
Now on with the actual review..
Enlargement - 9 out of 10 bats
These lenses are listed as 14.8 mm with the enlargement but they seem to much larger to me. I would have guessed that these were at least 15 mm if not 15.5 since they really do enlarge the eye. They do give you the nice dolly eye effect without being too overly dramatic or making you look almost alien like.
Color and Design -9 out of 10 bats
I love the dark blue color of these lenses. While these lenses are more dramatic than some of my other lenses they still stay in the natural looking realm. The color is extremely vibrant. These look incredible close up both inside and out on my dark brown eyes. These lenses are great for not only everyday wear but also for special occasions and cosplay. However since this is a darker blue color they not a real noticeable dramatic blue from a distance since my eyes are also dark. But I am sure that this would look INCREDIBLE on someone with lighter eyes.
Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
These lenses like the rest of my EOS are EXTREMELY comfortable. They "settle" immediately and don't do the awkward float around your eye trick after you put them in. When mysterious floating contact happens is always happens to me in one eye when I am in a hurry to get ready to go somewhere. I haven't had an issue with these lenses and I can wear them for at least 8 hours with no issue. If you are planning on wearing them longer than that keep eye drops handy.
Overall- 9 out of 10 bats
These lenses were amazing all around. While the manufacturer states that they are smaller than 15mm, I think that they are at least that if not a little bigger from the enlargement that they do. They give you a nice dolly eye effect without being too dramatic. The dark blue color of these lenses is simply stunning. I can't stop looking at my eyes in the mirror. The color is nice balance of vibrant and natural which makes it perfect for everyday and special occasions. Finally these lenses are extremely comfortable since I can wear them for at least 8 hours with no issue at all.
