Running Down my Main Road, Chasing my Dog, as a Pixie
The Spiel
My title says it all. I finally got enough energy up (stupid zinc deficiency!) to do a makeup. I was almost done when my Mother decided to take my bigger dog for a walk, and leave my little dog at home, and boy, was Eevee pissed about that! She decided to crawl underneath my front gate and chase after them, which forced me to run after her - DRESSED AS A MOTHER FUCKING PIXIE! If I lived on a quiet street it wouldn't bother me so much, but my road is a busy mother fucker and boy, was I embarrassed! Crazy makeup? Yep. Flower Bandeau and thus exposed belly? Unfortunately yes. Yoga pants? You better believe it. And to top it all off, bare foot. Such a great 2 minutes! If you drove passed a girl carrying a small dog, dressed up as some sort of pixie/fairy type thang - you're welcome for the entertainment!
Anyway, I'm so happy I finally got the time to do a makeup - it feels like forever!

The Migraine
The Spiel 
So I follow this dope Instagrammer, @makeupmouse, and today she posted this amazeballlsssss eye look. This flawlessly blended yellow, orange & black eye. It was glam, it was intense, it was fucking inspiring!!! And then tonight I'm laying in bed, plotting this pixie look to do, when I get this idea to turn her eye look into a character look! And I've been wanting to do a migraine inspired character thing for a while now because they, for better or worse, have been a huge part of my life. I've suffered them since I was 11, and since I was 16 I get rounds of cluster migraines. 2-3 a week. It made my teenage years rather... difficult, to say the least. But I don't think without them, I would be where I am today. Would I have found makeup? To be completely honest, probably not. So that's why I kind of look at them now as a blessing in disguise, no matter how shitty they were to deal with. Also, shoutout to any Brisbane Migraine sufferers, get your ass to the Brisbane Headache Clinic. That shit is amazing! Anyway, the pixie look has been put on hold, and tonight it was all about transforming @makeupmouses's beautiful eye into an intense character makeup (even if I can't blend like she does :p)

All the Kids Are Doing It!
The Spiel
I've been seeing this picture pop up on all my social media sites of this chick with glitter stars under her eyes and a caption saying something like "new way to cover the dark circles under your eyes", or something wittier... Same message though! Whatever, details are besides the point! So after a very long day at work, preparing for the new store to open on Saturday, I came home exhausted but still really wanted to do a new blog post. So what better option that chucking some glitter to hide my obvious exhaustion from the day!! Plus, I mean, is it obvious yet that I will use any excuse in the book to use glitter...? Chyerrrrrrrr.

This is What Happens When You Have No Plan
The Spiel
Tonight I wanted to do this makeup I found on Google ages ago and have been dying to recreate (I'll give credit where credit it due when I get to it :)), but I needed white hairspray and of course, I'm all out. But I was already in my makeup chair so it's not like I wasn't going to do makeup! But then.. Well, I don't even know what this makeup is. It's like a combination of an alien/bird/black swan... I honestly have no idea how it came about, I just felt like doing something dark, and then I was all "why not add some blue?", and then the blue looked weird with just black and silver so I added green. Then it continued like that for a while... I painted my bottom lip and decided "well, it's already weird - f**k the top lip" etc. etc., you guys get it! And this is the result! I don't love it, but I'm still pretty happy, for a "wing it as you go" makeup. 


Something for your Nightmares... 

Eevee was all "Nah, no photoshoot tonight, sleep is better"... Bitch.
