Nothing to see here, just flashing my balls

I've been playing around with Illamasqua's Human Fundamentalism Collection (what a mouth full). Since my last post and video, I have created a few more eye looks. Here are a few pictures, old and new.  If you prefer to see me blab about them I have included a video talking about the products while I flash pictures ... of my balls ... eyeballs.


Click the pictures to enlarge.


The "way too excited to use liquid white eyeliner, so I didn't read the package warning" inspired eye look.







The package clearly states not to put Scribe on your waterline. BUMMER! So, ignore the rule breaking; I need to learn to read first, apply war paint second.

Nails:
Color Club - Mrs. Robinson (click here for another pic)



The "unintentional Tammy Faye Baker" inspired eye look.


The "Effie Trinket" inspired eye look.
More here and in the video (below).









 The "skunk" inspired eye look.









I don't even know. The "I want to have teal eyebrows" inspired look?










Video round up of all the eye looks and products used ... and my DOTS!!:

Effie told me to do it

I saw Hunger Games last night. Armed with the new Illamasqua Fundamental Palette, I now understand Effie Trinket.

The goodies ...

Illamasqua:

Nail Varnish - Nomad
Precision Ink - Scribe
Intense Lipgloss - Fierce
Fundamental Palette











Illamasqua Fundamental Palette:
Liquid Metal - Surge (pewter)
Cream Pigment - Bedaub (mint green)
Powder Shadow - Inception (violet),
Hype (yellow)

It must have been a rough ride to my house because it came sweaty and dirty. 

Do you see the crust and beads of sweat? Click to enlarge. :D







This was pre- Hunger Games viewing.

This is my face with foundation.  Otherwise, I have on Fierce on my lips and Scribe on my lash line.  Later, I actually read the packaging for the Precision Ink and it clearly says NOT to put it on the water line. Woops. Great, I hope I don't go blind.












To avoid blindness I put Scribe on my upper eyelid.  This was not easy because I couldn't avoid getting it on my lashes.  To make it look okay I Tammy Faye Baker'd the hell out of my lashes.  I have L'Oreal Hip Kohl Eyeliner - Teal on my water line.


Nomad is sneaking in here a bit. 
I did a swatch of Scribe on my hand and just left it on there to see how it would wear.
A couple hours after application, I broke a sweat and took a shower ... not too shabby.









A full 24 hours and another shower later.  Kind of impressive.


 Illamasqua - Nomad



















Post Hunger Games: I knew immediately I had to put some color on my eyebrows.

I used Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow - Inception on my eyebrows and lined my upper eyelids.

I had L'Oreal Kohl eyeliner in Teal holding on for dear life from the night before. I like this the way it is, but I just had to add some black liner.

I put black liquid liner between my lashes (upper and lower) using L'Oreal Telescopic (lower set of pictures).  It's more dramatic, fo' sho'.







Initially when I thought about doing this whole look, I didn't think I would wear it out mainly because of the purple eyebrows.  But it ends up being a subtle pop of color.  Subtle glam, yea! 



I also used Inception as a contour, yes, yes I did. 

I have just a touch of blush (Maybelline - Pinch o' Pink) and the lips are a light mix of Revlon - Colorburst in Fuchsia (030) and Illamasqua - Fierce.




It's pink purple gorgeousness!

Thoughts so far ... I must play more with the other colors!




I'll get back to nails in no time. I just really love makeup too.

Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism ... Intro

While I play/write about these new goodies, please enjoy the following intro video to a few of the products in the Human Fundamentalism Collection.  As you will notice, my one cat was going bananas while the other one watched ... because that's what frienamies do.



*products were sent to me for review*
The video was shot in HD so feel free click on that option. :D

Also, I would like to apologize for not being able to keep up with and respond to comments and emails.  I find great pleasure in mingling and being silly with you guys, but the volume is getting a bit overwhelming and I just can't keep up. :(  I'm sorry guys.  It makes me sad.  I will try my best to do what I can.

P.S. I love all your cuticles! :D

My fav way to swatch lipstick

Cats are useful.

Can we say this is a tramp stamp? Or is that reserved for something else?










How convenient, a nail and lip swatch AND my "oops, I'm sorry cat" face.

Dermelect - Makeover, 3 coats
More (better) swatches can be found here.

Revlon (Colorburst) - Fuchsia (030)







No, actually I don't use the cat ... she just got in the line of fire.  But seriously, she makes such a great canvas.

Instead, I make my mirror dirty.

How cute is this, I mean really?!

*I need better lighting*













In case anyone was wondering, they are arranged same as above.  The Neutragena lippies are so saturated.  Color payoff is unparalleled.

I readily find these at Big Lots for under $2.  So, I have many ... MANY!











One day I will decorate one of my helmers in this manner. Yes ... YES.
