LOTD ~ Age of Decadence

Like I told you yesterday I used gold and black on my make up today. I had totally forgotten I have Decadence from Hi-Fi Cosmetics so I wanted to use it and then UD Perversion (matte black).

Really simple make up to do but looks dramatic enough for me.

Today was also my last day at this work and I got a "lantern", bottle of champagne (from the graduation), a gerbera and a great skull card from my co-workers/boss.

LOTD ~ Dark Orchid

Blogger is being a b*tch today. I had to upload all these pics one by one and it took over 5 mins total.

Ok well, enough of whine. Today I wanted to use my new lipstick from Make Up Store since I graduated - sort of - today. Got our papers today from working by learning it's a college kinda degree in financing and insurance. Also got two beautiful roses and luckily that whole thing is over, took 1,5 years - the studying.

So with the dark lipstick I wanted to do not too nude or dark eyes so I tried something from inbetween.

Eyes:
Malu Wilz eyeshadow primer
Aromaleigh eyeshadows from Victoria's Revenge: infernal chaos, magick & metal and apocolypse pansy (lower lashline)
Gosh eyeliner pen
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous in Waterproof (black)

Lips:
Make Up Store lipliner in Jazz
Make Up Store lipstick in Black Orchid

Face:
Revlon ColorStay in Buff
Blush in English Rose (probably by Max Factor but the label has worn out)
Gosh translucent loose powder

Tomorrow is my last day at the workplace I'm in now. On Friday I head to different place - same company, different job. This just means I need to keep some speech about how I'm going to miss everyone. I will, some. I thought I do something quite simple for tomorrow - golden and black - but we'll see how I feel in the morning.

NOTD ~ Obscurity

Finally this site decided to upload my pics. Been trying for hours.

Anyway today my nails were matte black. This is the last used polish from the OPI's Couture Colour collection and like title it's called Obscurity. I used Mavala's matt topcoat on top of it and it made the polish look a bit more shiney than it would've been by itself.

LOTD ~ Light Violet

I wanted to try some colours instead of the nudes I've been using lately. So I went for the other one of my 2 shade groups I use a lot - purples (other one is green if you didn't guess).

Also again the dried hair after yesterday's 2nd bleach. Now I just try to exhaust the red/pink/orange off my hair.

For eyes I used 3 different lilac/purple/violet colours from Aromaleigh's Les Papillons collection: butterfly kisses, ephemeral violet and vigil of change.

On my lips I have Lancômes Juicy Tubes in Prune.

LOTD ~ Simple browns and today's haircolour

I made a really simple look using Sin and Twice Baked from UD and grey Wet'n'Wild megaliner. I like this look and have been using it more than I should've lately. I need more colours, honestly.

Also you get a look of my hair this morning. Honestly it looked more light pink-orange. I felt like an anime character :P

And I did second bleach - will keep some time off from bleaching and trying to tire out the orange with silver shampoo. Better pic tomorrow with LOTD. It is still yellowish-orangey blonde.

Going White - my journey from redhead to totally white

So yeah, I've been thinking lately about dying my hair blonde - or well bleaching them lighter in general. And today I thought that I really want to get white hair. And now I will try them out...

It will be a long journey since a) I have red hair to start with and b) I have red pigment in my hair which isn't too nice if you want white or silvery hair.

I took the first step to going blonde/white already - I marched to shop and bought bleach. I also bought light copper since it will take at least few bleaches before I'm even blonde. Used the bleach and realised I quite like the end result which is something between straweberry blonde and orange - and it has almost white highlights already.

I really don't suggest anyone trying what I do since what works for me might not work for somebody else. Also I've been dying my hair since I was 13 which makes it last 14 years. I haven't seen my real hair colour for many years and I've learned what my hair can take and what it can't - especially when talking about bleaching your hair. I've never dyed my hair in salon so I've always done it myself. I used to go from blonde to red and back to blonde in my teen years. After that I went to black and from there to red. I've been most colours between blonde and black - including blue.

So before you try to go white or even blonde consult a hairdresser or let salon do the work for you.

So yeah, I started from this...

And then I used L'Oreal's Super Blonde Prelightener to get my strawberry blonde/orange look.

Sorry for webcam picture but this late when there's no natural light available my camera makes my hair look more red than it actually is. I will take new picture tomorrow in the morning so you will see how it actually looked like dry (wet in the above picture) and in daylight.

Next step is to buy another bleach kit and silver shampoo. I ordered white hairdye from Stargazer (2 packs to be honest). Some people keep 1 month between bleaches but I have bleached my hair twice in two days. And still have hair left. Problem usually is that the latter doesn't get them anymore blonde so now I will try at least one week with silver shampoo to get the yellow bit out and will bleach it at some point when I feel appropriate.

But yeah, we'll see if I give up before white hair or dye them back something else when I achieve that.

But at least I'm omw to white hair.

NOTD ~ Nevermore

This is the "blackened purple" from OPI's Couture Colour set.

Black Orchid with Jazz

I bought - again - new lipstick today. This time it was something I've wanted: dark lipstick. Me and my sister went to check some make up and I had to visti Make Up Store's stand and found Black Orchid and matching lipliner in Jazz.

Here are my new beauties...

And of course I had to try them on. On first picture not much has been done to my lips and eye make up - mainly just balancing the colours - only heavy photoshopping to rest of my face and picture. On below the the light has been adjusted a b it more to make it look real colour when in daylight. And no, my skin isn't that smooth, that's totally photoshopped. I should probably one day do a post about WHY I photoshop my pictures/skin.

And I think I'm off to enjoy about my other shopping - Ben&Jerry's Half Baked.

LOTD ~ Two in One

Today I actually have 2 different looks. First - lighter version - I used when I took my daughter to her ballet class. I used Aromaleigh's Victoria's Revenge eyeshadows again - Obscura, Private Lunacy and Mayhem's Trilogy. Also used Urban Decay's green glitter eyeliner - was it Mullet? Forgot the eyeliner's name.

I also bought the lipstick today. It was only 2€. Maybelline's Watershine in Juicy Bubblegum. Didn't wear it with the look, just thought I could show it too in same pictures.

And then I came home and made the look darker with using just Make Up Store's Macroshadow in Pollution.

The lipstick in pictures above is Stargazer's lilac. I realised I haven't swatched it either yet. Not going to wear it out since it doesn't really suit my look.

Anyway off to do some shopping and eating! Hopefully all of you are having a great weekend!

NOTD ~ Unripened

This is from the OPI's Couture Colour set. It was described as "a glittering green so dark it's dangerous" but to me it seems like black with small dark glitter. And without some light reflecting it looks just black.

LOTDs ~ Queen of Sin, Tarnished Cyanide and Mourning's Mind

New try! I tried to upload pics earlier but couldn't get the uploader to work, now it rejected only one picture but that wasn't important one so will try again now.

You will get my last 3 days' LOTDs in one since I've been lazy in the evenings. Yes, bad me.

Starting with today's make up for which I used my favourite eyeshadow - Hi-Fi's Psycho Mind - and purple from Aromaleigh's Victoria's Revenge collection. Plus purple dip-it eyeliner from Sleek.

Yesterday I had more toned down look made with also Aromaleigh's Victoria's Revenge collection - tarnished stryctnine bad me, didn't check labels... the real eyeshadows used are infernal chaos and cyanide sorrow. Used Sin from UD as highlighter and Wet'n'Wild's grey megaliner.

And the last look is made with Urban Decay's Queen and Sin - if you didn't already guess from name. Also used Gosh's eyeliner pen.

But that is it for now!
