Same Day, Different Makeup 
The Spiel
1 Day, 2 Makeups! It's hard to go from something so hardcore like gold leafing all over your body, to normal every day makeup, and I simply couldn't do it. So, I opted for a gradient lip AND sparkly eyes! Don't hate...

Black & Gold

The Spiel
I wish I had a more creative name for this one... But no. The brain power it took to stick all the damn gold leafing to my body/hair, it took any creativity left in my body today. Speaking of gold leafing, how freaking great is it? I went to Riot to pick some more up, and ended up getting Silver & Copper too - obsessed & not even ashamed. I really don't have that much to ramble about with this one, again, the brain, it's done for the day. So enjoy!

I Got Melt... FINALLY

The Spiel
Well yeah.. The title speaks for itself... I FFFIINNNAAALLLYYYY ordered some Melt Lipsticks! I was pretty well behaved and chose 3; Bane, Spacecake & Darling. But guys, I'm getting more! Why?? BECAUSE THEY ARE FLIPPING SPECTACULAR! For any of you who haven't heard of these amazeball lipsticks, they come in 12 amazing shades. Not into lilac, grey or black (like me)? No problem! They have reds, pinks and oranges too! They are the creamiest matte lipsticks ever! I just.. I can't handle. I could gush for hours. There are only two downsides I can think of, the first is that if you want to wear a lighter shade you MUST exfoliate your lips, but let's face it, you should do this all the time for your lipstick to look topnotch. But yeah, I put Darling on first and my lips were a tad dry and I took it off immediately to do a scrub because it emphasised just how dry they were. The second, is that if you have especially pink lips (like I do after scrubbing my lips like a maniac) is that you may want to use a lip primer! It's not completely necessary but I found when I was applying Spacecake (last, when my lips were at the peak of pinkness) I had to give it a few good swipes to get full coverage. Again, this is something you should probably do with all lipsticks. Ok I'm stopping now, let the photos speak for themselves!

Darling

Oh yes, come at me. Before now Limecrime's Airborne Unicorn was my favourite pastel purple, I loved it, and I still do but chyeah it's been taken over. This is the most perfect pastel purple ever!! Depending on the light I was in it looked almost pink. Plus, the pastelness (what? that's a word!) of it made me look saaaaaa tanned - major plus in a pasty girl's life. All in all - will wear this shade down to the nub. 

 No flash/Flash comparison because I thought this shade needed it 

Space Cake
I looooooove this colour. It's so flipping unique (that's what first attracted me to Melt), it applied so creamy and soft but it had the perfect matte finish. Perfection. 

Bane
This shiz is the creamiest, most opaque black of my life. It's my favourite. That is all. 

All The Colours!
As if I'm not going to do a gradient... 

So I love them so much I'm doing another order on Thursday. I look forward to swatching the newbies for you then ;)

Gemstones are fun... 

The Spiel
So I did this makeup last year and I decided to have another crack at it... It ended up quite different but hey! Doing the same thing over and over is boring! Also, I added gemstone lips and they are always a winning aspect, painful, but winning. That's really all I have to say... Enjoy!

This Be My Normal Face...
The Spiel
This be my normal face... Except that it's not. I felt like doing some hard core "normal" makeup today because I haven't been able to any as of late due to my psycho puppy needing to be watched all. the. time. But yeah, if I was going out one night, this is generally what I look like! Day time I am never bothered with false lashes, although I wish I was because I flipping love them. And my dark lip... Actually no, I LOVE dark lips and tend to wear them whenever I'm in a really good mood/really bad mood, and seeing as I run at a 1-3 or a 7-10 most days, I wear dark lips a lot... 
And yeah I know the rule, you should either focus on lip or eye, but guys, rules were made to be broken. That's like telling me because I have blue eyes I shouldn't wear blue eye shadow - I'll wear whatever colour shadow I want. *Such a rebelllllllll*
Anywhooooo, here's me, minus the grease paint/glitter fest you usually see!

Comic Book Makeup; Revamped
The Spiel
So, last night I did a different sort of Comic Book Makeup for Crown Brush UK's weekly comp (#MakeupMonday) and I wanted to do something different to the classic red dots etc. So this happened! It was inspired by another artist I used to follow on Instagram but sadly doesn't exist anymore *sadness*. Anyway I added some flairs of my own and then added it to Reddit (and forgot to watermark....) and it blew up while I slept. Completely. Unexpected. I attempted to blog last night but the latest addition to my life (a little Mini Dachshund named Eevee) decided my laptop was an excellent place to run across! So my SO is currently entertaining her so I can blog quickly! Can I quickly add, this is COMPLETELY un-photoshopped. No filters. No anything. Seriously guys, I struggle with blogging let alone something complex as photoshop... 

And this is the devil who kept me from blogging/extended the makeup process by an hour...

 And for anyone doubting this is just makeup, this was my (sort of) step by step process! 

The Products:
Base: Graftobian Creme Foundation (Palest in Neutral Palette) mixed with small amount of Ben Nye White Creme Makeup
Black: Inglot Gel Liner (#77) 
Red: Ben Nye Lumiere Palette Cherry Red with a small amount of Ben Nye White Creme Makeup
Blue: Ben Nye Lumiere Palette Cosmic Blue with large amount of Ben Nye White Creme Makeup
Hair: TAG Black Aqua Paint & the Red colour already mixed for my face!

Hooray! I'm actually shocked at the amount of likes this makeup has done, and hugely humbled. Thank you for the love and support guys!
