Come Play With Me- The Spooky Edition

I couldn't let Halloween go by without creating a fitting theme for Come Play With Me. I chose to include a spooky face and also Halloween themed nails. It's been a while since I have gone crazy with makeup and had some fun doing it.

 I'll begin with the face. I wanted to try and create a ventriloquist doll look. I find them very creepy, so yay! Great for Halloween!


I received the Stargazer pressed powder in an Ozsale order, I didn't buy it, but decided to keep it. White powder can be handy for Halloween, lol. I used this for my face base, it was terrible and patchy, so I added some LA Girl white eye primer and blended that out. My white base was far from even, it wasn't the most fun part of creating the look.

My eyes were very easy. I used a light neutral shade for my lid, then deepened the crease with a dark brown, and just blended it out. I used NYX Jumbo liner in "Milk" to line a thick white lower water line. Some brow liner and mascara finished the eyes.

Cheeks were an unlabeled pink loose powder blush.

For my lips I began with UD eye liner to line, then MUA Luxe liquid lipstick in "Reckless".

Using a pencil brush I created the mouth/chin with just some brown eye shadow.

 Yeah, I know, the neck just doesn't match my face, lol

I had so much fun freaking out hubby and the kids!

Models Inc "Red Rage" and Orly "Liquid Vinyl".

Now for the nails, I began with one coat of the red nail polish. When my nails were dry, working with one nail at a time, I painted another coat of red, but thicker. While wet, I then dotted some black polish onto the tip of my nails. Using a toothpick, I dragged the black into the red. I don't know exactly what I was trying to achieve, but I thought they had a spooky Halloween feel.



Well, I had fun playing with makeup and nail polish! Are you doing anything for Halloween? If so, I'd love to see what you create. Feel free to include your blog post here for the Come Play With Me Link Up Party.

    Love the scary look as well! I actually think you did an awesome job on the base considering you had difficulties with the powder! xx

    Indie hon you're so good - I regret I probably won't participate in this Come Play With Me (plus I missed the last one - boo!), unless I can get my act together on Saturday. But I LOVE what you did - it's really quite creepy, and the nails are totally fabbo xxx

      Darling Kat, no need to explain, I know you would if you could and I seriously would rather you not push yourself further than the crazy schedule you already have. Think nothing of it, I totally understand! xx

    I need some of your mani skills! Those nails look great (and I recall your gradient nail look was lovely too). Another nail technique I can try out. Thanks for sharing! :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
