Guess What I’m Missing!

Well, I accidentally opened up my lip ring and can’t get the ball back in without at least two pairs of pliers and extreme patience (which I do not have). I still have the ring in but I really need to invest in a new one as soon as possible. It feels so strange when I don’t have it in my lip, I’ve had it for four/five years now.

My boy friend said that it just looks completely wrong for me (not having a lip ring in that is). What are your thoughts? And what kind of lip ring should I get? I’ll be waiting for your comments!

Best wishes,

Black, White and Red: Cosmetic Experimentation

As usual, a little make up experimenting. I was watching some YouTube video’s and became inspired about the dots. I still need to work on them. I don’t particularly like the lower line of dots in that position.

 I lined my upper lid with black liquid liner and placed a line of liquid liner on the water line of my lower hid. I usually finish that off with a bit of pencil liner to make it meld to gray a bit but used my mascara too quickly and couldn’t after that. My mascara wasn’t working very well today so it doesn’t look like it’s usual clumpy mess. Hehe!

 I used black sparkly shadow on the inside corner of my lid and spread it past the center of the lid.I then added some white shadow on the corner corner of my lid and blended the black into the white.

Next I took a round brush and across the blended gray laid a coat of white shadow, I didn’t brush it into top as that would bled a bit, instead I patted my brush. To make a circle of white across the gray.
 

Next I started on my dots. I simply use my liquid liner and started from the middle dot, making it the largest, to the end dots, making it the smallest. Then starting from the center again making each smaller.

Lastly, I added my Lime Crime lipstick along with some vogue red lip liner.

Hope you enjoyed.

Product review: Lime Crime; Retrofuturistic Lipstick

Coming home to find this little delight sitting across my key board made my day. I ripped open the packet in joy, after having to wait two weeks for it to arrive due to the Easter public holiday in Canada. To be honest I first stumbled across the Lime Crime website after seeing the very beautiful advertisement on facebook.

Dodgy pose is required. This is the lipstick wet along with the night time lighting of my room.

Lime Crime is was created by Doe Deere to bring fantasy to reality. She created her opaque lip sticks and dazzling eye-shadow’s to make the world a brighter place, literally. Lime Crime features lipsticks in colours such as opaque yellow (New Yolk City), opaque green (Mint To Be), opaque pink (Centrifuchsia) and many more and along with many eye shadows or as Doe Deere calls them “Magic Dusts” (My personal favorite being Medusa).

Lime Crime cosmetics are also certified animal cruelty free by PETA, most of which are vegan also. Each colour of lipstick or eye shadow comes with it’s own fairytale. For example the bio for Cosmopop (softened orange):

She parked her hovercraft with the authority of a queen beside a large sign that read No Parking, removed her large sunglasses to take one quick look at the man taking money from the patrons, and strode through the open door behind him. And that was when the party began.

Sparkly Unicorns all around!

Just to continue with my beginning, I ripped open the package to find an adorable pink bullet shaped lipstick contained, adorned with a sparkling unicorn and stars. In my opinion, Lime Crime would have to get extra points for creativity in their design. The lipstick container is beautiful and completely girly.

Retrofuturistic is, of course, the colour I bought. Any guesses to what colour it is? Red, as always! I’ve already explained how the packaging and the website is but I’m sorry to say it’s not yet time for the results of my extensive testing on the lipstick, just yet.

I bought the lipstick from a certified Lime Crime distributing on eBay of course because I am, as you know, cheap and the few dollar or two I saved was much needed! Anyway, the distributing raised the bar for seller’s on eBay. After paying for the product the seller sent a much appreciated thank you email and told me that I had been a fast customer. She quickly then sent me another email explaining that in Canada it is a public holiday and the product wouldn’t be shipped for a few days and apologizing, though she had dropped it off already. I was actually quite happy about this, as the great service made up for the long wait.

Along with the lipstick I received a personally written note thanking me for buying. These were of course marketing skills and nothing more but the ‘little things’ are the difference from a horrible seller and a great seller.

Finally, to the actual lipstick! I couldn’t wait until I was fully dressed to try the lipstick on so I quickly washed my face, lined my lips and the time finally arose! The lip stick was creamy, but not wasteful. It kept a wet shiny appearance and refused to dry, and, as a bonus, it didn’t even stick to my lip ring; not smudging once.

To test the strength I kissed my mirror four times, that did absolutely nothing. The lipstick remained perfectly in condition, it was still the beautiful masterpiece I had applied. I then blotted the lip stick before attempting to remove it and it didn’t budge. There was no wet appearance anymore but the red definitely held true. I was amazed! The excitement grew from there, I attempted to wash the lipstick off using warm water and a towel/tissues and the stain left was a dark pink, I even tried washing my lips with soap and toothpaste but the stain remained.

Waking up in the morning I looked in the mirror to see the stain still perfectly in tact. I went to school for seven hours and came home and part of the stain still remained. Let me just make this clear here. I had only tried on this lipstick for fifteen minutes to create this stain. If that doesn’t amaze you, than I don’t know what will!

This is the stain not the lip stick, it’s also after intensive (but gentle!) scrubbing.

I give this lipstick a 4.8/5 kisses. 0.2 is missing as the stain doesn’t suit me very well. I find dark pinks somewhat trashy. Otherwise, with the killer endurance, stain (if you consider that a good thing), vegan ingredients, adorable packaging, great customer service, general uniqueness, the fresh feeling and  colour it is the best lipstick I have heard of and used. May your future in lipstick be blessed with such joys as Lime Crime.

Colour! It isn’t there to hurt you.

The title of this post is sure to rid me of the few Goth-Points I accumulated while on GOTH.NET but that’s beside the point. I had a birthday party yesterday. Not the present days teen’ parties with alcohol and drugs but old school, helium balloons and karaoke. I hadn’t met the parents before (Though they apparently knew me from performances I’ve done at my school, singing) so I decided I would tone down my outfit and hair. Instead I thought I’d play up my make up. I need the practice and besides I’ve gotten so many new products recently! Well, anyway enough on my words and onto the pictures!

Red lip gloss. It’s a lot brighter than this in actuality.

 I’m very happy that the red lip gloss only ever smudged once and that was while I was applying it, due to my lip ring. I used my red Vogue lip liner, which worked wonders! and my mothers red lip gloss.

 I lined the top of my eyes with black no-brand liquid eyeliner but only the top! I then added a layer on white across my eyelids.

Horrible blending. D:

 I then added purple eye shadow to the outer sides of my eye lids and then red to the inner sides of my eye lids and attempted to blend (But failed).

Next I lined the lash line of my lower lid with a Sea Blue Kohl pencil. I carefully placed black eye shadow across the blue kohl line making sure to rid the appearance of blue and to leave quite a distance between the tear ducts and the eye shadow. On the inner lower lead across the tear ducts I used a white eye shadow to brighten the appearance. I then finished this look off with a LOT of mascara, because that’ just what I do.

Myself being a poser.

 Before my make up I used sun screen and then Manic Panic; Creature of the night powder foundation for a light touch, in the shade of Anemia.

It was  fun night and my lip gloss lasted greatly until the pink cupcakes arrived and only them my bottom lip was missing some. I didn’t re apply because I wanted to see how long it would last and when I returned home, about six hours later there was only lip liner and a few splotches of red lip stick left. Oh well!

I hope you have a wonderful day, Ms. Walrus.

The Act Of Dying: Red Indeed

 Well, it seemed like such a great Friday afternoon that I decided would drench myself in the red stuff you all love. Yes, you guessed it. Hair dye. I’ve recently been thinking about dying my hair and was planning on red but with a very short conversation with my boy friend, I decided against it.

Spontaneously, I came home to find a packet of Schwarzkoft: Brilliant Shine Permanent hair dye in a delicious Red Passion. I eventually decided that I wanted to dye my hair and because I wasn’t committed to dying the whole of it red I would do the under layer and a section of my fringe just to try it out. It’s easily concealed and I wont have to worry about regrowth often.

My bathroom floor. I’m just glad it missed my penguin pajama pants.

The hair dying process.

I have no idea what I love about this picture but the hair just looks striking. Alternatively is also looks horribly disturbing and cold at the same time. What do you think? 

 

You can see how very messy I am.

 

The camera was being annoying so I pulled a face and then it decided to not suck at taking pictures anymore. 😀

 My mother brought homag of make up and didn’t want all of it so I suddenly gained: One new flat edged eye shadow brush! A red lipstick to add to my rapidly growing collection (It’s darker though, which I love), and two new nail polishes. One of the nail polishes is clear with sparkles in it which I wanted desperately after seeing a picture on Google (I know it sounds brief but when I get around to it and perfect it I will explain). The other nail polish was metallic browny-red-burgundy and it soon became the fifth addition to my burgundy coloured nail polished collection (Each one is slightly different though, honest!).

This is my hair normally; straight with a plain fringe.

You can see the red in my fringe but it does take some light.

Under the light layer of brown hair. The bottom section of my hair, all the way around, is completely red.

This looks very faded but in reality it is much more vibrate and less orange. The red actually goes down to where I originally had my hair black and deepens into the black nicely. It was completely unexpected.

Also, this is Merve, my cat.

Well, sorry I haven’t posted in the last few days. The first days back at school were harsh. But I did sign up to do something called “Circus Adventure” for sport so that seems interesting. Apparently you learn how to do some circus tricks, become a clown and such. It’s only the second day back and I already have three assignments to finish. Oh, well. It’s back to work for me.
-Have a lovely day. Miss. Walrus.
