Serpentina

I wound up in NorCal for the past like 4 days, so it's taken me a few to get this post up, but continuing with my lipstick-a-day challenge, here's a fun one.

Yes, I know there's even more bad press for Lime Crime with their ingredients and the FDA, but I'm still not going to go on some crazy boycott, it's just something to be aware of.

So that aside, fuck, I love these lipsticks. I have three of Lime Crime's Unicorn lipsticks, and I have no regrets. They're so amazingly opaque and such great colors, and they really grip your lips. The texture is a little on the waxy side, so they really don't cater to chapped lips and take a little work to fill in the whole lip, along with the fact that they're difficult to get a crisp line, so that's just something to deal with. If you put a little gloss on, the insane amount of glitter really shines through. 

While green isn't typically the most common lipstick color, it really is fun to go with something a little less usual. Makeup is all about trying out different personas and letting your personality shine, and sometimes you just want the world to see you as a green-lipped badass.

So. Lime Crime Serpentina Unicorn Lipstick, Tribal Vault faux septum, Quay About Last Night sunnies, Black Milk A Sassy Nation Bodysuit, BM Woodchucks, and Black Milk x Solestruck collection Who's That Cat Madeleine's. 

Last Day of the Eyeshadow Game!

OMG! I'm finally using my last palette!!! it has definitely been a struggle, but I managed to get through using a different one each day tip I used them all once. I finished up with another Naked (natch) with some nice bright lipstick, cuz obviously it's festive.

So I've got the Naked2 Basics palette going on, with Benefit's They're Real! mascara, Matte Bad Blood on lips and liner of the same color underneath. Pretty simple stuff, but this is Definitely one of my favorite red colors. It's smooth and creamy and really stays put. Compared to a lot of other red options, the bleeding is super minimal, and i don't feel like i'm constantly getting it everywhere, plus it really is a great color, so win-win.

Can't end this shenanigan without some Black Milk of course, with the Versailles crop top, and sparkly gold Jeffrey Campbells 'Shalimar' Heel. Keeping it short today because I have some other things I have planned for blogging, so on to better things!

At least I've proven I can set my mind to something and actually get through it ;)

Getting Naked 2

ok, i'm a little happy with how things went today. black on black is always a good decision, I love these shoes, and despite the fact i'm down to just nude palettes, I was stoked with how the shadow turned out.

Also i'm thinking about getting my septum pierced. I know it's a little on the trendy side, but there are such pretty options for rings these days! I used to hate this piercing, but now it's really growing on me. And these faux rings from Tribal Vault just make me like the idea even more.

And on top of that, I got some rad new earrings from Baublebar I was dying to try out (the little ear creeper going up my ear), and I am so stoked I have so many pretty things to adorn my head with.

With or without glasses, this palette made me very happy today. I used Naked2, Matte Revolution lipstick in Blackmail over a lip pencil of the same name, with Lancome's Hypnose Doll Lashes mascara (and the usual brow game/eyeliner).

Ugh wearing little lies fabric makes me feel so witchy and happy, especially with some dark lippy and smoky eyeshadow. Black Milk speaks to my soul. Yessssssssss. 

BM Little Lies Sweater, old Guess skirt, and like the most perfect combination for shoes ever, Black Milk AND Jeffrey Campbell. What else could I even ask for. 

Makeup for days and days...

   Another day and here's yet another palette! UD's old Smoked palette finally got to see its day in the sun after I've had it in my beauty arsenal for like 3 months.  I wasn't super sure what I wanted to do with this one, as the colors are really heavy and dark for the most part, but there are a couple of really nice neutrals that make it all even out nice. I also wound up adding a different coppery moon dust to the lid to give some shimmer and blend with the rest of the shadow. Even though the palette isn't really around anymore, all of the colors in it are still available.

Also keeping the whole new lipstick ea. day thing going, I used one of my Lime Crime Velvetines in Wicked to go with the nice sort of autumn colors I had going on in the eye look. I really do like the velvetines quite a bit, thigh they can be a bit drying and i feel like you really need to have some nice non-chapped lips going on for them to work out well. This color in particular tends to come off a little more than you would typically expect of these bad boys, as they really do stay on and don't get on anything (unless you're eating), so I don't recommend wearing white with this lipstick... But same brow shindig going on, and Cannonball mascara are also getting in here.

And here's some Black Milk for good measure. These shoes are SO damn comfy, i need one in every color. SolestruckXBlackmilkclothing forever. Seriously love this bomber though, I need like 5 of them. How can you say no to Disney too?? You can't.

OMG SHOES! Aka, I have a problem..

So while in Vegas having a fantastic time and forgetting about all of my woes, I preordered these fantastic shoes that bring me all sorts of joy, and after weeks and weeks of waiting (they told us it would be 2-3 and it was definitely like 5) they finally arrived!!
Behold, the Shak in Crystals

They said I would feel like a baby giraffe, and oh, do I. They're wonderful. And squishy!
I seriously can't get over them. On top of that I was super pumped to see in the blackmilk email And solestruck email announcing the collection As Well As on the main page on the site for the collection, were pictures of my friend and me! So excited :) Go forth and buy allllllllllllll of them

And I got these right on the heels (haha punny) of another beautiful pair from solestruck, the Miista Amaya in wild rose orange. They're probably one of the most beautiful pairs of shoes I've ever seen.

Can't wait to wear these beauties, but I'm saving them for graduation coming up in the next month so they'll have to wait for the fun we shall have together.

If that wasn't bad enough, I also nommed the last two blackmilk releases (or 3 depending on how you look at it) so got the passionfruit juicyfruit legs from ammo, then the cotton-candy-corn skater skirt and tree trunks gft from the Christmas/Adventure Time release, so I should probably cut back. Buuuuuuuuut I kinda want the princess bubblegum dress and crazy cat lady legs, so who knows! Maybe I'll show some restraint given how much I have to buy before graduation, but then again maybe not...
