This was my Tuesday make up. Really simple liner look with pink lips.
I don't even remember what I used as eyeshadows but on lips I have Gosh Soft'n'Shine Lip Balm in Barbie Pink and on nails I have Rimmel's Cranberry Zest (the scented ones).
Today's look coming up possibly tomorrow when I can sit long enough on computer to photoshop it too. I got diagnose today and it's cervical spine disk herniation so one month sick leave, two meds and at least one hour of walking each day.
So you might see some more out there make up in the upcoming month now that I only have to go out to get my daughter from school but I can always wash it all off before doing that.

A Song of Ice & Fire/Game of Thrones: House Mormont
"House Mormont of Bear Island is an old house from the North proud
honorable... Their blazon is a a black bear over a green wood."
Source: A Wiki of Ice and Fire
I won't be doing this series everyday. Back to normal routine tomorrow when I return to work so I don't have too much time to think about what make up I put on.
This doesn't look too green and I realise now I should've probably used lighter green but there's green on the edges of black.
The black is Urban Decay's Perversion and green is from my 96 palette. As a blush I have Mschich by Seppälä's After Glow blush and on lips Gosh's Darling.
I went to do some minor shopping with a friend today and I only bought new shampoo for dry and damaged hair with keratin and deep conditioner with keratin too so let's see if my hair recover even a bit.

A Song of Ice & Fire/Game of Thrones: Melisandre
"Melisandre is a beautiful woman, always dressed in red, with a heart-shaped face and red eyes. Great heat emanates from her body. She is full-figured with copper hair."
Well I couldn't make myself anymore beautiful and I had to photoshop the red eyes. I didn't want to do strong makeup since if she's described as beautiful then that probably means naturally beautiful. So I went for really natural look.
Ewww, my brows need plucking.
And about my hair, I really managed to kill them this time. Bleach ruined them so that the ends are really brittle and dry now. Did a hair mask and trying to keep it moistured - will buy keratin conditioner tomorrow to try and help the remaining hair. I have really badly broken hair and they look bad. Probably need to get a good cut in few weeks, only trimmed the ends and front hair from the mostly suffered parts. 15 years of dying at home and only now I managed to really damage my hair. Will use next some non-permanent dye just to give my hair some rest - and that won't be for a while now even.

A Song of Ice & Fire/Game of Thrones: Khal Drogo
So yes, I started a new series for my make up. As you can see it's based on the Books of A Song of Ice & Fire or Game of Thrones TV series which you prefer more. I've only watched first episode of the series but I've read 1,5 books (I'm going through the second one) so some of my images might come from the book and some from the series. I will always try to put a reason behind the colours - usually a quote from somewhere explaining it.
As a first look I thought of doing Khal Drogo inspired make up. In the series he just has black eyes but I didn't want to go for a panda look so I took inspiration from the next quote from a wiki of ice & fire.
"Drogo's skin was the color of copper, his hair and eyes were black, and he was very tall and graceful. He had a long, drooping mustache and wore his hair in a braid that came to his thighs, hung with tiny bells"
Unfortunately I don't have my hair up to my thighs but I did braid my hair. I wanted to break the black with copper-ish colour and also used only blush for my cheeks/face instead of blush/powder. I also left my lips natural since well - he is a man and doubt he would've worn lipstick.
Eyes:
UDPP/Mac Painterly Paint Pot
Urban Decay Zero pencil
Urban Decay Perversion e/s
Urban Decay YDK e/s
Wet'n'Wild Vanity palette
Face:
Revlon ColorStay in 150 Buff
Inglot AMC Multicolour Bronzer
Urban Decay Baked Bronzer in Gilded

LOTD ~ Dull Grey?
I thought of using grey eyeshadows today since I've used greens, browns and purples lately - and created some colourful looks lately. So yeah, grey is good and I don't think it's boring.
For this look I used Vorpal and Mushroom from UD AIW palette.
I called doctor today and x-ray of my neck was normal, everything looked ok so might have to be muscle trapping the nerve in the end. We know more next week - I also might hopefully go back to work on Monday, as long as the pain eases a bit more.

LOTD ~ Love Potion
I got inspiration for this look from my daughter's Barbie movie (A Fairy Secret) where one drinks love potion and her eyes change colour from blue to purple (of course because red is the colour of love). So I dug out my purple contact lenses and red eyeshadow.
And I found the cutest drink ever! Well maybe not to all of you. It's called Zombie Berries (honestly) and it's apparently cranberry drink (fizzy drink).
Sorry not that much to chat about - still on sick leave and my days go pretty much on computer browsing around net, sleeping or cooking/cleaning/being all 50s housewife (without a husband).

LOTD ~ Broken Star
This morning I only had an idea that I wanted a purple make up. So I went to my make up stash and pulled out some Fyrinnae and Hi-Fi Cosmetics eyeshadows I thought would go well with each other. And this is what I finally came up with.
From Fyrinnae I used Broken Doll and Sennyo. From Hi-Fi Cosmetics I used Between The Stars and Sugar. Black eyeliner, black mascara and half eyelashes later I was done with eyes.
On cheeks I have Inglot bronzer to do the contouring, Evil Shades Cosmetics' Ravishing and some Mschic Skunkmiracle highlighter. On lips I have some Wet'n'Wild pink lip gel.
On nails I have Gosh nail lacquer in 595 Miss Sweety.
