Lost in the Blue

I don't quite remember exactly what is on my eyes. I thought i wrote it down, but cannot find it. Anywho, I am wearing BRM Lost on the lid and in the crease an Inglot color. In the inner corner I think it is a Detrivore shadow. That is all i remember.

Star Power

Another one I forgot to write down. =(

I do remember this much, on the the lid is Persephone Mars Crystal Power on the lid up to the crease. In the crease is BRM Starfire and in the inner v is MAC Beauty Marked. I don't know what is on the lips.

Quick Update

I just want to let you know that I will be doing some work on the website so things may look wonky at times. It will be a very slow gradual process so please bear with me. I will be making categories for the matte shades to make it easier to find. I also want to combine the full sizes with the sample sizes so you can just pick from one listing what size you would like. Just little things to make it easier to find colors and to make it more cohesive. I hope that these improvements will help shopping at BRM easier.

If you have any suggestions or find a typo or something please let us know. =)

NTMS Weekly Challenge - Valentines Day

Here is my look for this weeks challenge. I am horrible and forgot to write down what I used and cannot 100% remember what I used. =( My eyes were watering so excuse the inner corner messiness. I know that the liner is the Make Up Forever Aqua Liner in #11.

NTMS Weekly Challenge - Blix Remix

This weeks challenge is re-creating a look done by Blix from the blog Glitter is my Crack. She has tons and tons of looks. What I did was go to her 2011 archive and click on the month of September, since that is my birthday month and picked a look. The original is here. It is not entirely the same, my eye shape is quite different and I used red instead of pink and so this is what I came up with.

What I used:

-I started with Evil Shades Evileyes Primer in Naked. On top of that I applied Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool.

-On the lid I applied a mixture of Starsign and Phantom.

-Starting in the inner crease working outwards I started with Mother Sunflower followed by Helios and ending with Ares.

-In the inner corner I applied Lunar Shower.

-I lined the lower lash line with It's Electric and followed by Starsign to about half of the lower lash line.

-I finished by lining my lower water line with UD's 24/7 liner in Perversion, lining my upper lash line with Tokidoki Sabochan liner and applying falsies. I also filled in my brows with Spirits.

*All shadows used are BRM.*

Toxid-lotus.net's Makeup Challenge: Hello Kitty

Luna at Toxid-lotus.net is starting up weekly challenges and this is #1, Hello Kitty.

What I used:

-I started by priming my lids with Evil Shades Evileyes Primer in Naked. On top of that I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool.

-Next I applied BRM Hello,Kitten all over the lid and a bit in the crease.

-Then I applied BRM Doll Face in the crease.

-In the inner corners and inner crease I applied BRM Lovestruck.

-I lined my lower waterline with UD 24/7 liner in Perversion.

-I lined my upper lash line with MAC fluidline, the black one and applied falsies. I am still practicing.

-Lips is Milani Haute Flash in Flashy.

This week's challenge is Dragons. You should do it! I have no idea what to do. Check it out!

Brown with a POP!

Just a quick look I did before going to the store. I even forgot to put mascara on. Browns always feel blah so I added a bright pop with liner.

What I used:

-I started with Evil Shades Evileyes Primer in Naked. Followed by Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze (this one creases on me with or without a primer, topped with shadow or not).

-To the first half of my lid I applied BRM Mummy May I.

-To the rest of the lid and into the crease I applied BRM Scarab.

-I blended the edge of the crease with BRM Oracle.

-In the inner corner I applied BRM Abalone (unreleased)

-Lastly lined my waterline with UD 24/7 liner in Perversion and my lash line with UD 24/7 liner in Electric.

Electric Daydream

What I used:

-I started off with Evil Shades Evileyes Primer in Naked followed by Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple (I would skip this one, it is patchy and you cannot get a solid color on your lids).

-On the lid I applied BRM Dark Wing.

-To the crease I applied BRM Black Hole and on the edge of that I applied just a tough of BRM It's Electric.

-In the inner corner pulled up into the inner crease I applies BRM Hemera.

-In the tear duct and around the edges of the crease I applied Darling Girl Buddy Blue.

-To the lower lash line i applied It's Electric.

-I finished off the eyes with mascara, UD 24/7 liner in Electric on the waterline and filled in my brows with BRM Spirits.

-On the lips is Evil Shades Devious Virtue and a slight touch of Not Your Barbie. This lip is quite neutral and not something I typically wear, but I kinda like it.

Luna Collection

I am late at making an official post on the Luna Collection. I created this collection in collaboration with Luna of Toxid-Lotus.net to celebrate her birthday. You can see her swatches here. This collection consists of four sparkly ethereal wispy sheer colors that can be used under a colored base to give the colors more character. Available to purchase here. They are available in Full size and sample jars only.
