Peach and Purple look using Morgana Minerals

This is a look I wore yesterday. I've been seeing Phyrra and a couple other gals (can't remember who right now, um KittenMittens...) do double winged liner lately, and it reminded me of a look I did for Halloween last year (I attached the pic). I was a flapper girl. I used neutral colours originally, but went with more bright colours and glitter liner this time.

My Halloween makeup (wow my eyebrows look so different!)


eyes:
Eyes (all applied in this order):
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Detrivore (applied all around the eye area up to brow and rubbed in gently with ring finger)
Morgana - Horizon (applied to inner corner/upper lid to crease by patting/sweeping with MAC 239, then applied to lower lash line extending outward with MAC 228)
Morgana - Transylvania Twist (applied to outer V and crease with Coastal Scents Pink crease brush creating a cut crease, then applying thinly to the lower lash line with MAC 266 and extending outward)
Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Gel Liner - Shake it up! (upper lash line extending out, applied a few times for full coverage)
Urban Decay 24/7 liner - Yeyo (water line)
Hard Candy Ginormous Mascara in Black Out

Lips:
NYX lip liner pencil in Deep Purple (wonder why it's called that since it's a dark red?)
Morgana Vegan Lipstick in Margarita

Face:
Sweet Sensations Body Cafe Peppermint Face Cream (applied with fingertips)
Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder Make Up in Translucent Light

Morgana Mineral Vegan Lipstick Swatches

My sister sent me a Morgana Gift Certificate for my birthday, so I got some lipsticks I've been wanting for a while! Here they are from Left to Right:

Blood, Grape, Very Cherry, Margarita, Valentine, Azalea Blue and Azalea

Colour descriptions from Morgana's website:
Blood - Dark, matte red.
Grape - Medium purple with a grape scent. 
Rich, medium red with a cherry scent. 
Margarita - Cool toned rose that smells like a Margarita. 
Valentine - Rich, vibrant, duochrome pink. 
Azalea Blue - Hot pink w a blue sheen. A customer favorite! 
Azalea - Hot pink. A customer favorite! 

Aren't they all just so pretty?! They went on a little weird but only due to my arm hair (told ya I'm a beast!). The consistency, pigmentation and colour seems to be great in all of them. I like how Very Cherry smells like a cherry popsicle to me. :-D  Yum! Normally I hate cherry smells but I really like this one for some reason. It's not a medicinal smell at all (which is what cherry normally smells like to me). Just smells sweet. Grape of course smells like grape to me. I love grape! I haven't noticed much of a smell from the others, but maybe I will when I wear them. I'd prefer no smell to icky chemical smells. These are all fine to me. :-D

I wore Blood this morning and it looks like dark purple on me, no red visible. Must be my skin tone. I can wear it still, since I can pull off dark lipstick. Mistress is still my fav dark red! I think I will have to get another tube of it already...jeez.

Morgana Minerals also has a lot of beautiful eyeshadows, glitter and other nice products. They will soon be launching a lipgloss collection, as well as a new eyeshadow collection. Can't wait to see what everything looks like. I'm excited!

WEIRD dream I had regarding beauty and makeup

 I'm one of those weirdo people that has multiple, vivid and weird dreams every night. They are so strange that I used to keep a dream diary to let other people read them. I quit doing that because it was really time consuming for me to do this every morning. But I still have two full dream diaries. If I find them in my closet...I will so post them. They are seriously effed up and funny!
 Anyway. Last night I had a makeup related dream. I normally don't dream about makeup or anything beauty blog related. But recently I've had dreams of Phyrra, Heather/Eyeconic and VampiressDoll. The one last night was funny and creepy. I apparently stole a bunch of makeup from VampiressDoll. I justified it because she said she never used this stuff. OMG I would never steal anything from anyone! So weird! BUT, I also dreamed that I surgically installed magnets into my upper lash line. WHY? Because I was inventing this new cosmetic procedure where you have magnets implanted into the lash line, so you could wear these magnetic false lashes I invented. Wow. After telling Jason about this dream, I actually thought to myself that I KNOW some of you would get that done. I mean, who wouldn't like to just put the fake lashes up to your eyelids without glue, and they always go and stay where they are supposed to??? That would be awesome and you know it! I'd probably wear fake lashes every day if I had this done. Totally.

Have any of you had makeup related dreams? Have you dreamed about anyone you have met through your blog but haven't met in person?

Since I don't have any pictures for this post, I'm including some of my kitty, Athan. He sits really weird sometimes, on his butt with his feet in the air and looks like an old grumpy man. :-D

Hee hee. Cracks me up! I love my little guy. :-)

OK, enough farting around. Must get back to the slave pit!

Pink and Purple look using Fyrinnae

This is a look I did a few days ago, but didn't have time to post. These are done in natural light. The last two are with flash. I am loving Collection 2000's glam crystals liner! It is very sparkly and easy to apply. Since it has fine and chunky glitter, it doesn't go on looking very sleek and precise like my liner normally looks. I still like it tho!
Jason did not like this look at all. He especially did not like the light pink on the lid. He said it looked horrible. Whatever man!

The Adventures of Sake and Hot Tubbing...

 So we went on our weekend getaway and just returned. We wanted to get outta the concrete jungle to relax, have a fun and just be lazy. We took tons of photos but I'm only going to post a few as so many look too similar. But still VERY picture heavy. Enjoy!

trying to look sweet

I was unknowingly sitting over a jet that was several inches below...looked like I was pooting! So Jason had to take a pic of it.

So that's pretty much it. Needless to say we had a blast. We spent several hours in the hot tub and it was so nice. Can't wait until we go again next year!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
