Twisted Christmas: Collaboration with AliciaD372

Hey guys!  The gorgeous Alicia from AliciaD372 asked me if I wanted to do this collaboration with her and of course I said YES!!  I am honored that she asked me to be part of this with her.  Our collaboration "Twisted Christmas"  because so many people do "Naughty/Nice" collabs.  We went with the same concept though, Alicia did a more "nice" look and I did a darker "naughty" look.

Here is Alicia's look.  Click here to jump to her blog post!!

GDE, Fyrinnae, Sugarpill: Calypso, Biker Chic and @#$%!

I don't really know where the inspiration from this look came from.  I purchased the limited edition eyeshadow from Sugarpill (I don't remember when they had it on sale but it was only a few days) and wanted to use it with my GDE pigment "Calypso" from the blogger collection.  I ended up doing this combo for Halloween but I didn't like how the video came out.  It had been so long since I had recorded that I was stumbling all over the place and I was rushing because I still had to get the kids ready.  Anywho, today I decided to try the combo again but in a different way and at a more relaxed pace.

Let me also just say that even though the eyeshadow I used from Sugarpill was limited edition, you can always substitute it with something else.  I don't own this color but I feel like MakeupGeek's "Razzleberry" would be quite similar.  All other Sugarpill eyeshadows can be purchases separately from their website, not just in the palettes.  I buy the palettes because you are essentially getting a whole eyeshadow for free!  Now, on to the look:

_/\_ Witch's Brew feat. Sugarpill and Magnolia Makeup ☽ ☆

Halloween is definitely my favorite time of year and witches are definitely (probably) my favorite part of Halloween!  I have always been drawn to witch-y type things, all year long.  I wanted to do something a little different and dramatic.  This isn't entirely what I had i mind, but I'm pleased with how it came out anyways.  I still have another fun look that I've been wanting to do since last month, but I haven't figured out how to execute it quite yet.  Anywho, on to this look.  The pictures look better smaller.  I still have to work on lighting in the new room:

Fall Look #2

Here is my second fall inspired look!  I'm glad I recorded when I did because the last few weeks I've either had a cold, my allergies have been freaking out, or I've had a GI bug.  Now I'm moving this weekend but I'm hoping to film something.  Anywho, on to the look.

I was already brainstorming this look while filming the last one ;).  I knew what colors I wanted to use, just had to figure out how.  I'm really pleased with how this came out.  Please excuse the nasal-y/squeaky cold voice!

Charcoal Smokey Eye feat. Wet n Wild and Lit Glitter

I have sadly neglected all of my makeup for the past couple of months.  It's been a long time since I have used any of my Wet n Wild palettes and it took me forever to find them!  It's also been forever since I have used any of my Lit glitters!!  I would wear glitter everyday if I could!  I have been trying to find ways to incorporate it in my work makeup but not be too over-the-top.

The look I came up with is a charcoal smokey eye blended out with some purple in the crease.  To add some pizzazz I also applied a charcoal glitter to the lid.  If you don't have any charcoal glitter, you could also apply the charcoal color from the WnW palette wet, since it has glitter in it as well.  Here are some pictures of the look:
