Makeup Revolution Atomic Shades

Hei Ghouls!



So recently e discovered this brand called Makeup Revolution and at first everything seemed way too good to be true. Their prices are super low! And their products seemed too good to match the price, the lipsticks specially caught my eye. So I decided to give it a try and ordered the Atomic Shades collection: 5 lipsticks, 2 purples, 1 green, 1 red and 1 brown.

Here are the swatches:

 Make it Right

A dark purple

 Make me Magnificent

A sheer frosty lilac

 Make me Tonight

A brown with a tint of red

 Serpentine

Dark forest green

Atomic Ruby

Vibrant Red

Late Halloween post!

Hi everyone!



~late Halloween post here~

 This Halloween was quite frustrating! This is a still from the video I was recording for my inicial makeup idea, a completely ripped jaw with exposed teeth (you can't see much of that here, since it's looking like a mess at this point). Nothing went according to plan. I noticed way too late that my liquid latex wasn't in the best conditions, I had that bottle for a while and I haven't used it for some time now, so I completley forgot that thing could expire. It wasn't sticking to my skin properly, the color was a dark yellow which was almost impossible do blend, gah! I ended up loosing way too much time until I finally gave up and moved on to plan B - a home made sculp gel which saved the day. I just threw some on my face and worked something quick from there, since at that point I was late for everything. 

I still has to make my partners makeup too, but in the end it didnt turned out that bad: at the time I was starting to loose hope.


Here's some photos of our faces:

How was your Halloween this year? :D

MUOTD 13

I bet you miss my webcam spam.. No? Okay..

Hei. I'm still here

My glob, I haven't posted in ages!!

Ok, I'll try to update this at least once a month! (Yeah I'm keeping my standards low :P)

For this post I'll just leave you with some beautiful pics I took at Monserrate Palace in Sintra. It's a magical place fit for elven nobility.

I wore simple casual clothing and boots since the gardens are HUGE and it's quite the walk if you want to see everything - which is totally worth it.

Really late Halloween post

Hey Ghouls,

I sure have been neglecting my blog.. I've been  having a really shitty time lately, the worst I've been in the last few years, so I 've been restraining myself to write anything, I'm pretty sure I would regret it later. I'm too beat-up emotionally to say anything decent.

So, changing the subject to something a bit happier,  Halloween! Halloween was that bright day I was in desesperate need to lift my spirit a bit. And I got to celebrate it twice!
On the 31, I went to ZombieWalk Lisbon with my love and a couple of friends.

 I did our makeup, and I had so much fun doing it! Even with only one eye opened. We won the prize for best zombies :D

Some group shots
(some photos were taken by Lobster Leyla ^^)

Then on November 2nd, Saturday, we got to celebrate Halloween again at the local goth club :D I didn't want to repeat the zombie look, so I had to do some quick thinking on what to for our makeup (which I hate). I ended up making a cute/cartoonish skull for me and a bit more realistic one for Daki. I didn't have much time to make them so they didn't turn out as realistic has I was hoping for (I'm always on the run!).

And some group photos of the night.


Oh! did you noticed my hair was black? I really needed to give it a rest from bleaching, I'm getting used to it now, but I miss my crazy colors :(

How to make your own purple hair dye!

Hi prrpz, I made a video tutorial on how to mae your own purple hair dye, go check it out! :D

Chameleons Vox show + MUOTD 13

Yesterday was the Chameleons Vox concert in Portugal, in a place kinda in the middle of nowhere but not that far from Lisbon.
The show was completely free entrance because it was a part of a fair/carnival that was going on on that little town, which was pretty random :D The fair was filled with terrible and tacky popular music, carroussels, bliking lights everywhere and all the fried food you can imagine. It was pretty hilarious to see the confused looks on the locals to see so many goths hangin around. The vast majority were unaware of the Chameleons existence.

For some reason I never take photos of the shows, at the time I'm too spaced out enjoying them, so I never have actually photos of the events to share :D

Well, have some pictures of my makeup for that nigh.

MUOTD 12 with Speed Tutorial

Wore this dramatic B&W look for a friend's birthday party ^^

I wanted to test my camera's video quality, so I decided to record myself while doing the make-up, The camera actually has pretty good quality, but it looks like crap in here, I really have to play with the settings some more and learn to master a good video editing software. I'm currently using Pinnacle Studio.. not sure it it's the best one.

And after watching the video I realized that I really should have done the right eye first, but heck.. it was just my first attempt.

For a next video I'm thinking about making a tutorial for my purple hair, the dye I use is actually self-made ^^

MUOTD 11 - Glitz Glam

 

My look for the SBSR festival. Neutral lips and full glitery eyes.

My hair has a life of it's own, when I want to make it curly, it NEVER works, it only holds up the curls for 2/3 hours max, specially if done with a curling iron, but lately, if I go to bed with my hair slightly wet, BAM! Instant messy curls the next day, that last for a long time :D

MUOTD 10 - Depeche Mode look

Last Satuday I went to the Optimus Alive festival here in Lisbon, Depeche Mode were the headliners! Last time they were in Portugal I didn't get the chance to see them, so I couldnt let this opportunity go!

The show was amazing and I got to meet a bunch of new people and hang out with some pretty friends

Here's my makeup look for the day:

 My fabulous bat bow was hand made by DelightfullyDeviant and I bought the adorable bat ring on eBay for about 1€!
Make-up is Kryolan and Manic Panic, all cruelty free ^^

Here's some of my fav pics taken at the arena:

The last band to go on stage were Crystal Catles at 3 a.m.! My back was completely killing me at the time ;_; and added to the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of electronic music, I only endured half the concert and got home just before the sun rising.


Happy day!
 
 

MUOTD 9 - Casual Doll

My "casual" doll look :D Probably not so casual for some,  but for me a more "costumy" doll makeup would be full blown drama. Buttom lashes were drawn with a really thin brush and gel eyeliner, it's an awesome alternative to fake eyelashes, if you have a steady hand and the right brush.Works perfectly with the dolly look.

Btw, I'm not really THAT pale, but my webcam really washes me out!

Rude

I'm not rude, I'm assertive
I'm not rude, I'm socially awkward
I'm not rude, I speak my mind
I'm not rude, I'm shy
I'm not rude, I'm opinionated

I'm not rude, but I'm no people pleaser.

LBGT Pride Parade Lisbon '13

Yesterday was Pride Parade, whoooo! :D

It's always one of the happiest days in Summer. Altough everyone's gathering for a serious issue, to march against prejudice and sexual discrimination, you can't help but  smile and laugh contantly. You can feel so much love and so much strengh from everybody when walking down those Lisbon streets that you can't help but feel all warm and cozy inside. You trully believe that in that moment everbody accepts you  and loves ya.

It was pretty fun all around, except for the moment my back really started to hurt, after a couple of hours walking and standing up. My scoliosis is a bitch and sent me home earlier than I thought, but I still managed to stay till the end!

The day before the Parade me and my friends decided to make some signs, and what could be a better theme than Adventure Time!

We are all hard core fans of the show, and one of the reasons we love it it's because of the subtle way it aproaches subjects such as Girl/Boy Love, Trans problems, gender roles, gender equality and so forth.So we HAD to make an Adventure Time homage :D

And now some pics of the Parade! (some taken by us, so taken by random people)

Yeah, share the love! ^^
