Witching Hour

I can't believe how busy I've been lately! I finally started my new job, and it's taken up a lot of my time. I really like it though!

Here's a makeup look I did a while ago. I'm not too fond of the picture (I think my facial expression looks a bit strange...?), but I love those eyeshadows. They're all Tick:Tock

The green shadow on my lids is called Witching Hour and is quite glittery in real life. I find it so hard to capture glitter in photos! Perhaps I should start filming some short videos of my glittery looks, so that you can really see the sparkle? 

Other than Witching Hour, I used Salvador Dali, Midsummer Night and Four Horsemen. ♥


P.S. Witching Hour is on sale right now ;) Click here to go there!

FOTD - Blue and green

Here are some pictures of the makeup I wore yesterday. I was trying one of Tick:Tock Cosmetics' new  colored eyeshadow bases - a beautiful blue one called Nebula. I do love a good colored base. Most of the colored bases I own aren't very good, unfortunately, but this one really is! 

This is just a sample, but it'll last forever. You need the tiniest amount!


The eyeshadows I used are all by Tick:Tock:
Seven Days - crease
Clepsydra - lid
Fronzen in Time - inner corner, and  used to blend out the crease color
Withching Hour - under eye

My perfect red? Chanel Rouge Allure no.105 Inimitable

For someone who's addicted to buying makeup, I have surprisingly few red lipsticks. Actually, up until a few days ago, I just had one (Stila Long Wear Lip Color in Paramour). It was a gift from someone, and it's not a color I would have chosen for myself. So, I didn't have any red lipstick that I enjoyed wearing, and I really thought I needed one. 

Last weekend and found the perfect red lipstick - Chanel Rouge Allure no.105 Inimitable. It's just what I've been looking for all this time! An intense red with very subtle pink shimmer... absolutely gorgeous ♥

MOI Mineral Cosmetics/Face of the Night

Last night I was playing with some gorgeous makeup by MOI Mineral Cosmetics

Taking good pictures of makeup in Sweden during the winter is a challenge to say the least, there's almost no daylight... I really wish you could see how intense these colors are in real life!

I used a lovely orange eyeshadow called Jack'O that I bought a long time ago... sometime last year I think. I believe it was part of a Halloween Collection (I'm sure Holly will let me know when she sees this). I also used a shadow called Wake the Dead that is described as "Dust Grey in the jar but when you foil (wet) the true copper beauty unfolds". As you can see, it looks really coppery on me even though I used it dry. 

The golden shadow in my inner corner is not released yet, but I'll let you know when it is... it's  absolutely gorgeous. It could really use a tacky base though, which I didn't use this time. I'm gonna have to use it over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy soon, and show you how amazing it looks when it has something to really stick to. Thank you so much Holly for letting me try it - I can't wait for it to be released! 

Edit: The golden shadow is called Angel Kisses and will be released in 2013. ♥

Tick:Tock Cosmetics - Made in the 80s

Tick:Tock Cosmetics will soon be launching this gorgeous lip gloss called Made in the 80s. As one of their models, I got to try it out before its official release, and let me tell you - it's AMAZING! 

The color is described as "a super bright, in your face purple with aqua sparkles". On me, it leans pink, but on Elizabeth (one of the owners of Tick:Tock) it's definitely a purple. I guess it depends on your skin tone. The color really is very intense, even more so in real life than in pictures, but I still find it wearable. I wore it with a gray smokey eye today, but I think it'd look even better with just mascara and black, winged liner. 

Even though it's not available for purchase yet, you can check it out here: Made in the 80s by Tick:Tock Cosmetics.




You can really see the aqua sparkles...

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

So... you might have noticed that I haven't posted anything in a long time. I've been suffering from a major lack of motivation. I have a lot of looks to post and products to review - a lot of things that I should have done ages ago. It's about time I get back on track!

I did this look a while back and I can't remember what I wore on the rest of my face, but the eyes are all Tick:Tock. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead and Late Night Burger Gnomes to be specific. ♥

Step-by-step: Light blue & bronze!

I like it when other bloggers do step-by-step tutorials, so I thought I'd do more of them. Let me know if you like them :)

All the eyeshadows I used for this look are by Tick:Tock Cosmetics

So, let's get started!

1. I primed my lid with UDPP, placed a piece of tape from the outer corner of my eye to the end of my eyebrow, and applied a little bit of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy to my lid and crease:


2. I patted on the first eyeshadow, Run Run Rudolph (LE), to the outer third of my lid and to my crease:


3. I placed my second eyeshadow, Jack Frost (LE), on the middle third or my lid:


4. I placed my third eyeshadow, Frozen in Time, on the inner third or my lid:

5. I blended the colors together:


6. I used another eyeshadow, Brit's First Time, to blend out the crease color. I removed the first piece of tape and placed a new piece a little bit below the first one. I filled in the area between the tape and Run Run Rudolph with a green eyeshadow called O, Christmas Tree (LE). I applied the green eyeshadow with a damp brush because I wanted maximum color payoff: 


7. I lined the rest of my lower lash line with Frozen in Time, also applied with a damp brush:


8. I lined my upper lash line with a combination of black eyeliner and eyeshadow:


9. I curled my lashes, applied some of my W7 Oh So Waterproof mascara and some false lashes by Ardell (no.305). I also lined my waterline with my NYX eye pencil in Emerald City:


The finished look!
