Elsa (Frozen) Makeup Tutorial

I think we can all agree that America can “let go” of the Frozen obsession.  See what I did there?  I made a pun.  You know, because the song from Frozen is “Let it…Go…”  Anyway, I’m sure you get it.  If you’re a parent, I’m pretty sure Frozen has played out its welcome in your household and car.  But despite all that, little girls everywhere are going to adorn themselves in blue sparkles and blonde wigs tomorrow evening and stuff their faces with candy to their little heart’s delight!  How awestruck would they be if you came to the door also dressed as Elsa?  You would literally become the ice queen in their eyes.  There’s a chance you could wrangle them all up and create a tiny Elsa minion army to do your bidding.  No?  Too far?  Alright, now that I’m positive you’re hooked (or at least a little curious), watch me transform myself into icy royalty.

1. Start with a flawless face.

2. Apply purple eyeshadow to the main part of your lids, as well as your lower lash line.

All the shadows I used are from a large, $10 Elf palette I purchased a few years back.  I mixed these two purples together, but any similar colors will do!

3.  Blend out the crease with an orange-ish pink.

Again, I mixed these two colors together to create the perfect shade.  Work with what you have!

4.  Highlight your brow bone with a matte white.

Your eyes should look a little something like this now:

Check out that awesome zit I have below my eyebrow.  Nice, huh?

At this point, I stopped taking step-by-step pictures.  Next, smoke out the upper and lower lash lines with a black pencil eyeliner.  I then tight-lined my upper lash line with that same black liner.  Apply a white eyeliner to your lower water line.  After a generous amount of mascara, your eyes are done!

For the rest of the face, I used the following:

The remainder of the makeup is pretty straight-forward.  To recreate Elsa’s lips, use a bright pink lipstick.  For the cheeks, apply the blush on (mainly) the apples of your cheeks, blending out slightly.  Fill in your brows so they have her slight, cartoon-y arch.

Luckily, my new blonde hair was easy enough to style similar to hers.  I just curled the front section and fashioned it into a side braid, leaving out a few wispy pieces here and there.

AAAAAAND, here is the finished look!

I know, I did a really good job.  I mean spitting image, right!?  Alright, you caught me…

Here’s my take:

Let’s not talk about my outfit.  I threw on something light blue and purple.  I realize the awkwardly draped scarf was not a win here.  Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my last Halloween tutorial of 2014.  Enjoy your All Hallows Eve shenanigans!

Stay weird!

90’s Nostalgia Part 2

Ever since I wrote my last post about the 90’s, memories that I’d forgotten just keep popping up in my head. It makes me feel like the initial post was incomplete and I can’t have that….No! I cannot have that! So we are going to take a second stroll down memory lane together. Hope you wore your walking shoes, because this jaunt is going to be a long one!

Let’s start with movies and television. The more I think about my youth, the more I realize that I spent entirely too much time in front of the tv. Ah well, anyway…Here we go!

Labyrinth and The Secret of Nimh. Two incredibly awesome and incredibly
dark and disturbing movies. Oh! Speaking of disturbing, I just remembered another classic!

Did anyone else watch this movie? I was obsessed! I remember wishing with all my might that I could find a lunch pail tree like the one she ate from. Also, to this day whenever I see a green decoration, I want to put my hands on it and say “Oz!” Anyone? Am I alone here?

I religiously watched way too many shows. Some favorites being David the Gnome, Rainbow Bright, Reading Rainbow, Under the Umbrella Tree, Rude Dog, Hey Dude, and Salute Your Shorts.

I’m almost positive that I am the only person to have ever watched Under the Umbrella Tree. Whenever I mention it, I always get a look of bewilderment. And Reading Rainbow…has any other show to this day ever had a more glorious theme song? The answer is no. Remember the irritation that came in the form of the TV guide channel? If that didn’t teach you patience, I don’t know what would.

Another favorite pastime was my beloved Nintendo.

And let me tell you, I was a Little Mermaid prodigy. That was the first game that I ever beat, and I’m still proud of it to this day. Way to go, Me!

Anyone remember this gem?

I lived for Oregon Trail time in grade school. Hunting was my favorite. I would hunt more buffalo than my little wagon could carry, causing my entire computerized family to drown every single time. R.I.P.

The last little bit if technology that kept my small self busy was the one and only Lite Bright.

It was so fulfilling to see your finished masterpiece lit up like a Christmas tree.

I do remember spending the majority of my time outside with the neighbor kids. We spent countless summer nights exploring the field behind my house, playing Kick the Can and Ghost in the Graveyard, and riding our bikes around the block.

I could even ride my bike without using the handlebars. Oh, you read that correctly! I was basically an acrobat on wheels.

…Except for these wheels:

I swear these were somehow rigged to cause you to wipe out every five seconds. You’re the devil, Fisher Price.

I completely overlooked 90’s fashion in the last post. Shame on me! My attire mainly consisted of the following:

Stirrup pants were the bane of my tiny existence. My mom would always make me wear them, but I rebelled against wearing them correctly. I couldn’t handle that elastic band invading and restricting my feet. Ugh. They were the worst.

If I was at school, you would also see me with these essentials:

Lisa Frank’s obnoxious art was idolized by little girls everywhere, including me. And if you could find a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper, shoot! Girl…you were golden! I remember when my Trapper Keeper obsession hit and I just had to have one. My poor dad drove me to every store in the area, and they were all sold out. We went home empty handed that day, but it wasn’t soon after that I got one of my own. I still remember it, too. ::sigh:: The memories…

The treats back then were full of sugary, cancer-causing goodness.

By the way, the struggle that it took to cleanly peel off a candy button was not worth the gratification of eating it. You basically ate 80% candy and 20% paper. Why were these even a thing?

Lastly, we come to some iconic toys of the decade.

I was never one to play with Barbies, but My Little Pony was where it was at! I also had a secret collection of Troll Dolls that I had to keep hidden because my mom found them creepy. I mean, they are creepy…creepily delightful! I loved their little bejeweled bellies. Beanie Babies hold many fond memories for me. My best friend, Bridget, and I used to trade them and create little movies using them as the characters. I remember my Scottie dog Beanie Baby performed an awesome rendition of “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston.

I could have also included some more old music here, but honestly, there’s just way too many bands to name. Also, my fingers are literally throbbing from typing. So we end here, friends! I think I’ll hold off on traveling down memory lane again in the foreseeable future. I told you it was going to be quite the hike!

Stay weird!

I’m spent.

Creepy Ventriloquist Dummy Tutorial

Halloween is just around the corner, and I know that sexy costumes are all the rage these days.  Sexy doctor, sexy fireman, sexy nurse…you name it!  The only problem is, they have all been done before.  I mean, talk about unoriginal!  Ladies, have I got you covered because I can guarantee you that nobody has ever tried to dress up as a sexy ventriloquist dummy!  Ha!  You’ll be the talk of the party, for sure!  You can thank me after this quick tutorial…

1. Make your face GHOST white.  This was not hard for me to achieve.

Oooh!  So hot already!

2. Apply light blue eyeshadow on your lids, blending out through the crease.  Then, make a rounded shape with your eyes using black eyeliner.  Leave a space between the lower eyelashes.  Fill in the negative space with white, including the lower water line.

Sultry!

3. Fill in your eyebrows, unnaturally, using a brown liquid liner.  Round the front of the brow and taper to a point.

Ow ow!!

4. Carve out your nose, cheeks (especially apples), and smile lines using grey eyeshadow.  Also, shade around your temple, hairline, and jaw using the same shadow.  Apply a pink blush in a circle on the apples of your cheeks.

I can feel the other girls getting jealous…

5. Create a creepy sultry over-drawn pout with red lip liner. 

6. Lastly, add your finishing touches!  This includes your freckles, fake hair, and moveable jaw lines. Simply ravishing!  Good luck fighting the fellas off with this getup!  Anyway, I said you could thank me after the tutorial…so, you’re welcome.

I actually used to have a dummy when I was a kid.  I went through a weird stage (one of many) where I wanted to be a ventriloquist.  My parents got me Lester, the dummy, for Christmas one year and I practiced with him every night.  I was actually getting pretty decent at my act until this one fateful day when I read a certain Goosebumps book called Night of the Living Dummy.

It was about a kid who found a dummy that came alive at night and tried to kill him and his family.  Fantastic reading material for a 10-year-old.  Well, after that…Lester had to go.  I couldn’t handle his creepy gaze from atop my bookshelf any longer!  R.I.P, Lester.  I was such a strange child…

Well, anyway, I hope you found this tutorial useful.  Psh, who am I kidding?  You’re going to love this costume!  Happy Halloween, sexy mamas!

Stay weird!

Ipsy Glam Bag October 2014

So I’ve started taking pictures with a real camera instead of my phone.  What an innovative concept!  Now I’m not promising you perfection, but at least you’ll get a little more clarity in the photos.  Moving on!  My favorite day of the month is always the day I receive my beloved Ipsy subscription bag.  It’s $10 a month and it’s like getting a little surprise every 4 weeks…that you pay for.  Anyway, it still fills my heart up with joy, I tell you.

This month’s bag contained a lot of interesting products for me.  Let’s just get into them one-by-one.

Jesse’s Girl Mineralized Baked Powder Eye Shadow in “Esmerelda”

*Retails for $3.99

On the Jesse’s Girl site, this shadow definitely appears to be primarily green.  As you can see, this shadow is more of a silver/taupe in real life.  While I love the color, I just feel the site is a little deceiving!  Anyway, all that isn’t really important, just confusing.  The bottom line is that it swatches well and has great pigmentation.  I can’t wait to try it on my eyes!

Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths

*Full size retails for $15 (30 single use wipes)

Don’t judge too harshly…This makeup is going on 15 hours.

Directly from their site: “No-water-needed foaming cleansing cloths to refresh, soothe, and purify stressed skin on-the-go!”

While they DO work well, these wipes are a little too expensive to purchase on the regular.  I’ll be hoarding the remaining 9 for as long as I can.

“Rogue” Eau De Parfum Spray by Rihanna (0.5 FL. OZ.)

*Full size (4.2 FL. OZ.) retails for $69

I am so impressed by the size of this!  It’s such a cute little bottle that will definitely last for quite some time.  Here’s how it’s described on her site:

Rogue by Rihanna is a feminine composition that captures the mischievous nature that lies within every modern woman.  Direct with a bold signature, Rogue by Rihanna blazes with confidence and sensuality.  An unexpected combination of feminine jasmine, plum and patchouli for a fragrance that captures Rihanna’s unexpected style.

Push boundaries.  Be bold.  Go rogue.

Notes: lemon blossom, cyclamen, bergamot, pink peppercorn, jasmine, rose, muget, juicy plum, suede, sandalwood, patchouli, golden amber, decadent vanilla and sensual musk.

—

Albeit a little corny, I’d say this description is pretty accurate.  Although, I don’t know if it causes me to feel “mischievous,” or that it makes me want to “go rogue.”  What does that even mean?  Does this perfume turn me into a spy?  Anyway, to me this scent is musky and mature.  I don’t know if I’d wear it every day, but it may be my new go-to fragrance for special nights out!

Starlooks Lip Gloss in “Guilty Pleasure”

*Full size retails for $12

What a cute little gloss!  It’s pigmentation is super opaque and the formula feels very creamy.  I haven’t tried it on my lips yet, because let’s face it…I need another gloss like I need a hole in my head!  Ha Ha!  That phrase is terrifying.  Seriously.  Terrifying.  Anyway, if you’re interested in one of these puppies, click here.

ECRU New York Acacia BB Cream (for hair)

*Retails for $12

Now this product might just be my favorite of the bunch.  Ipsy VIP, if you will.  It is paraben-free and safe to use on color-treated hair.  ECRU New York’s site calls it “a phenomenon in haircare…Finally, an all in one styling cream that is amazingly light, incredibly versatile and harnesses the moisturizing and protective power of Acacia Collagen™ for ultimate repair.”  I used it tonight after my shower.  Even though my hair is still damp..it feels amazing.  I can’t give you a full review just yet, but my first impression is definitely positive!

Whelp, there you have it!  Another month of Ipsy has come and gone.  If you’re interested in signing up, click this link.

Have an awesome rest of the week and stay weird!

Alright…on to the second part of this post.  I told you it was going to be a twofer.  Killing two birds with one stone here, folks.  I was also nominated by the sweet Glitter and Gloss to do the Autumn Tag.  Not only am I a sucker for tags, but fall is my absolute favorite season.  So here we go.  MORE ABOUT ME!

1. What’s your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks or any other coffee shop? Starbucks’ White Chocolate Mochas are like crack to me year-round.

This isn’t me. Is that creepy?

3. What’s your favourite music to listen to during Autumn? Just about every year, I make myself a “Fall Life Soundtrack.” I believe I’m on like Volume 11. Fall has almost always felt like a new beginning for me each year. Ironic, since it’s basically the end of the fiscal year. Bon Iver has graced my soundtracks the last two years, so I’ll go ahead and choose them. And my boys, U2. They are a year-round favorite.

Stay Weird!

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem..

I got more lipsticks.  Because I obviously didn’t have enough already.  If you’ve seen my lip product collection, you might actually admit me to an addiction treatment facility.  Before you start doing your research and dialing numbers, I have to let you know that both of these products were free.  The first one I got through point redemption at Ulta, and the second I received as a gift.  Want to see them?  Of course you do.  I can tell we’re kindred spirits.

1. Tarte Kiss & Belle Deluxe LipSurgence Lip Set

This set includes 4 deluxe LipSurgence lip tints: dainty (pink), innocent (warm nude), dreamy (cool raspberry), alluring (mauve); 2 deluxe LipSurgence matte lip tints: eternal (pinky nude), fancy (plum berry); and 2 deluxe LipSurgence lip glosses: kiss (light pink), belle (raspberry).

*Products and swatches in same order*
From bottom to top: eternal, dreamy, kiss, alluring, innocent, belle, dainty, fancy.

*Products and swatches in same order*
From bottom to top: eternal, dreamy, kiss, alluring, innocent, belle, dainty, fancy.

This set is adorable.  I love the packaging and there is not a single color that I wouldn’t wear.  The top shade, fancy, is an especially fun color to wear with a neutral eye.  The samples are definitely decent-sized, so I know I’ll get a good amount of use out of them.  Many of the shades also leave a stain on your lips as well.  Here is my arm after I tried wiping off the swatches:

As you can see, they basically all left pigment behind.  My only gripe is with the color “kiss.”  It’s the pink gloss, and it contains quite a bit of golden glitter.  The glitter is on the chunky side, and does not like to stay where it’s placed.  You know what they say about glitter….  It’s the herpes of arts & crafts (and makeup).  Once it’s on you, it never goes away.  If you’re reading this, Grandma, I’m sorry about that last bit…  Alright, so would I recommend this product?  100%!  You can pick it up at Ulta or online here.  It retails for $34.  Quite the deal for this gem!

2. Lipstick Queen Sinner Lipstick in “Pinky Nude”

You know when you lay eyes on that perfect, “everyday” lipstick shade and you hear an angel chorus as you gaze upon it?  No?  That doesn’t happen to everyone?  Anyway, this lipstick is my new baby.  Even though I didn’t naturally give birth to it, I will raise it as my own and protect it like only a mother can.  Too much?  I’m getting a little out of control.  But yes, it’s that perfect pink-neutral shade that looks especially nice against my ghost, white skin.  It also smells like vanilla.  Yum!  You can purchase it at Ulta or online here for $22.

Thanks for reading and stay weird!

Beauty Things I Suck At

Today I checked my blog’s stats and saw that I now have 50 people following me! I feel humbled and honored that you all would take time out of your day to visit my little internet nook. Thank you so much. It means the world!

I wanted to see if any of you have ever gone through a tragic makeup event like the one I experienced yesterday. I was getting ready for an engagement party and decided to go for an eyeliner wing. This always ends in one of two ways… Either I swoop it on effortlessly and I’m out the door in no time, or I’m in the bathroom throwing a mini fit because the eyeliner gods are against me that day. You already know what path last night took. I applied the eyeliner on my right eye quickly and painlessly. It was a perfect, crisp wing. On to the left eye! Oh snap, I made that wing too thick! No problem, I’ll just even out the right eye… Crap! My hand wobbled! Looks like we are going for an Amy Winehouse eye look tonight. Ok, ok…I think they’re even. ::sigh:: Wait, that line looks a little patchy..let me just…..AAAAAAAHHHH!!! My hand slipped and I literally drew a splotchy black line across my eye AND nose. My face was ruined and I had to start over completely. Needless to say, I was a good 20 minutes late to the party.

Now, this whole conundrum got me thinking… There are plenty of makeup and beauty things that just don’t come naturally to me, and I remember seeing a tag on YouTube entitled “Beauty Things I Suck At.” I figured it might be fun to share my list.

1. Winged Eyeliner
There’s a phrase I live by that goes, “Never ask a girl with winged liner why she’s late.” Seriously.

2. Bronzing/Contouring
My foundation shade is called “Porcelain.” This makes applying bronzer super tricky. I can go from looking sun-kissed to looking like I smudged my face in mud in no time flat.

3. Skin Care
I’m at that age where I should really start to focus on my skin. Anti-aging marketing ploys really speak to me. But honestly, I just can’t be bothered with adding any extra steps in my getting ready or nighttime routines.

4. Lining My Lips
I can do this, it just takes a lot of makeup remover and q-tips. I was never very good at coloring inside the lines. My impatience gets the best of me.

5. Hair
I mean anything and everything that relates to hair. Keeping up with it, hairstyles, executing a simple ponytail…all of it. My poor hair. I honestly do feel bad for it most days…

Alright, those are the ones that really come to mind when thinking about this topic. I’m sure there are plenty more, though! What about you? What beauty things do you suck at? Hey, at least there is comfort in numbers!

Stay weird!

Comic Book Character Tutorial

What better thing to do at 8pm on a Wednesday than turn yourself into a comic book character? I’m definitely a novice when it comes to costume makeup, but I had a lot of fun creating this look. It would make a quick, easy costume if you don’t feel like buying anything this year. Just throw on a retro business suit, and you’d be good to go! If you’d like to watch me transform from this:

Into this:

..then just keep on reading!

To begin this transformation, you want to apply a full coverage foundation. I mean, you want your skin to look as fake and flawless as possible. You are essentially trying to look like a cartoon, so think of your face as a pale, un-contoured Kardashian. Like so:

Yeesh…Anyway, the next step is the eyes. I’m not going to lie, this part made me want to punch a concrete wall. Apply bright blue eyeshadow to the moving part of your lid. Next, try and create a crisp wing and attached cut-crease. If you fail miserably like I did, then blend away with black shadow! As for the lower lid, line it with black leaving a small gap between the waterline and the liner. Fill in that gap (as well as the waterline) with white eyeliner. This will make the eyes appear larger and more cartoon-like. Add mascara to the top lashes only. This is what it should look like so far:

As usual, my photos are sub par. Sorry. Next up are the eyebrows and lips. Create a “worried” look with the brows by slightly turning up the upper front part. After the outline is done, fill it in (with black, of course). The lips will be done in parts. First, apply a blue-based red lipstick. I used “True Red” by L’Oreal.

The next step is slightly hard to explain. You want to outline your face and features with black to make them look drawn on. This includes expression lines, nostrils, nose, cheekbones, lips, etcetera. I ended up adding more later, but here’s a little update to help explain what I’m talking about.

This last bit really makes the look come together. You want to recreate those red comic spots on your face by using your red lipstick and a Q-tip. Just stamp the little dots over your entire face. If you’re a little more on the OCD spectrum than I am, feel free to try and create a believable pattern. I couldn’t be bothered at this point, but looking back I wish I had done a better job. Finally, I added any little finishing touches I felt the look needed. This included false lashes, more outlining, and a highlight on the lip. I also cleaned up any jagged lines using (about 50) wet Q-tips. Here is the finished look:

Thanks for reading! Now I have to try and scrub all of this off. ::sigh:: I may not have a face tomorrow.

Anyway…

Stay weird!

90’s Nostalgia

I was reminiscing tonight with friends, and the nostalgia really got me thinking about my youth and all the great memories I had growing up in the 90’s. I was born in 1985, so the 90’s carried me through my childhood all the way up until around 8th grade. I decided to make a list of everything I loved about that decade, just so I can virtually return whenever I please. Enjoy!

Speaking of my childhood, these movies were like crack to me. Unico, The Last Unicorn, and The Neverending Story were played on repeat at my house. Obviously, I had a thing for unicorns…

My lips never lacked moisture thanks to these bad boys. I specifically remember purchasing the raisin-colored LipLix multiple times. But where, oh where, did I keep my vast collection of lip products?

Why in my Caboodle, of course! So handy!

No matter what emotion I was going through, I always ended up turning these suckers black. I honestly started to worry about the state of my soul after a while. Does anyone remember mood lipstick as well? Did it just show up as pink on everyone else too? So curious..

These were fun, but terribly uncomfortable to wear. I actually still have my 2 decade old blue one lying around here somewhere, I believe.

I kept my collection of snap bracelets in a little tin case and I remember bringing it everywhere with me. I showed it off to anyone that glanced my way. I had metallic ones, fuzzy ones, animal print ones…honestly, more bracelets than one could count. Until that fateful day where my mom decided they were somehow dangerous and I had to put my entire collection in the trash. May they rest in peace…

Smelling good was easy with these scents at my disposal. I need to check on eBay to see if I can find these classics again for old time’s sake. Ahh, the smell of insecurity…I mean middle school.

This was literally the only deodorant you used if you were a preteen girl in the 90’s. The ONLY one.

Now as far as entertainment went, Snick was where it was at! This being my favorite show of the lineup. We don’t have to talk about how it kept me up all night long, sweating from pure terror. Nope, let’s not talk about that.

..And here you’ll find the literary equivalent of that show. Night of the Living Dummy scarred me for life.

And finally, if I had to choose one song as the anthem of my youth, it would be this one. I’m not sure why, but it just sticks out the most when I think back on my younger years. Still a classic.

Whelp! There you have it! A pretty accurate inventory of all the things that I associate with the 90’s. What an epic decade. Thanks for skipping down memory lane with me.

Stay weird!
