Maybelline Summer 2013 Color Tattoo Eyeshadow!

2013-05-06T16:55:00.003-06:00

Happy Monday Zombies!

I don't know about you, but my weekend went by way too fast! I hate it when that happens. ;)

Today, I thought I'd show you a few of the new Maybelline Color Tattoo's for Summer 2013. These claim to all have a duochrome finish about them. I don't have them all, but I wanted to share with you my thoughts on the ones I do own. I'm hearing through the grapevine that these are hard to come by already. So far, I've seen them at my local Walgreens, ULTA, and CVS. I'm really surprised the displays are only offering a limited amount of each color though.

A quick look I did using Seashore Frosts over Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer.

My thoughts:

My two favorites of this group are Seashore Frosts and Blue Paradise. Seashore Frosts DOES have an amazing duochrome about it. And it does show up when you're wearing it. It's a lovely shade that lasts a really long time on the eyelids. Blue Paradise has a gorgeous pink/purple/blue shine to it in the jar, but it doesn't really translate to the eye, other than being a beautiful shiny soft blurple. Shady Shores is much more yellow than the jar picture poses it to be and it has an amazing green sheen to it! It's quite sheer, but would be great as a highlight color. Icy Mint is just that, an icy, shiny, light mint. I saved Lavish Lavender for last because sadly, it's my least favorite. While being a pretty shiny lavender color, it's sheer and didn't want to apply evenly to my eyelid. It also creased after an hours wear (I did not have that problem with Seashore Frosts). I love the sheen to it, but it does not stand out to me as anything special. :/

I feel like this collection is a kick up since the last batch of Color Tattoo's and I think the colors are light and fun for Summer. I'll have to play around more with them to determine if the other colors crease like Lavish Lavender. I'm pretty impressed all in all.

The Color Tattoo's range in price, but they are under $8.00 USD.

Have you been able to snag any of the new Color Tattoos?

Naturally Chic Neutral Eyes with Milani!

2013-05-05T13:09:00.000-06:00

Happy ass Sunday Zombies!

A few days ago, I decided to test out the new Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez pencils from Milani and did a quick look with a few of the shades. I wanted to share my experience (and the look with you)!

For this look I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance as my primer and then Shadow Eyez in "Sand Dunes" on my main lid, "Cafe Au Lait" in the crease, "Golden Bronze" on the lower lash line and "Black Ink" in my waterline. I applied upper liner and mascara.

My thoughts: The Shadow Eyez are super easy to apply and so creamy! I was able to blend them easily with my makeup brush. They tend to glide on right from the pencil as well. Black Ink held up well in the waterline, but did not last the whole day- but this is normal for liner in my waterline. I think the main (and probably only) complaint I have about the Shadow Eyez is that after about an hour of wear, it felt as if my eyelids were sticking together- so I don't know that they ever fully *dried* on my lids. I can NOT stand that feel. They did not crease in the 8+ hours of wear, which is a huge bonus to me. I will be trying them without primer in the future or over a different primer to see if that makes a difference.

I really adore this look. It was very shiny in person and I received several compliments on it. :)

Have you been able to locate the new Shadow Eyez from Milani? What are your favorite shades?

Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez Eyeshadow Pencils! SWATCHES!

2013-05-02T19:37:00.001-06:00

Good evening Zombies!

I have a great post for you, involving Milani and some kick ass new Shadow Eyez pencils. I can already tell you're drooling, so let's just move along shall we?

Milani has released 6 new Shadow Eyez, all in neutral shades, but with a kick! These pencils are amazing. Each and every single one was creamy, smooth, and super pigmented. I'm very impressed, even MORE impressed than I was with the first batch of Shadow Eyez. Milani seriously has my heart these days!

New colors:
Black Ink: matte finish
Espresso Lane: matte finish
Almond Cream: matte finish
Golden Bronze: metallic finish
Cafe Au Lait: matte finish
Sand Dunes: metallic finish

**Be sure to click images for a closer look!

The packaging.

Back of package with ingredients.

I am in LOVE with Golden Bronze and Sand Dunes. Black Ink will make an amazing black base to layer color over. I can not believe how awesome these new shades are. The biggest selling point for me is that they last a LONG time once applied. The dry down and do not budge, unlike some bases that stay at bit tacky. These bad boys dry completely.

These shades are limited edition (sad, I know) and will retail for $6.99 (may vary from location) at participating, CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, and from the Milani website itself.

Have you been able to snag some of these shades? What are your favorite colors?

Last night, I sat down and came up with a manicure so beautiful that I figured I should actually BLOG about it. *gasp* I am in love with Zoya's "Storm" nail polish. It's a black base filled with holographic sparkle. On it's own this polish is amazing, but add chunks of holographic glitter and BAM!

Out in the sunshine! Look at the sparkle!

!Etsy Spotlight! Little Lazies!

2013-04-09T12:01:00.000-06:00

Good morning Zombies!

This morning I bring to you a post of the non-makeup variety but still just as fun.....and even sparkly! A few weeks ago, a friend of mine posted a link to a cute Etsy store called "Little Lazies" on Facebook. Right off the bat, I noticed a cute little zombie made out of clay that had to be MINE RIGHT THEN! I immediately (and somewhat spontaneously) placed an order for my very own Zombie Little Lazy. The rest, is history.

My kick ass little clay-creation arrived in less than 2 weeks after I adopted him. The most exciting part of the whole transaction was that when you purchase a little lazy, you get a random little guy/girl. No two are alike, being that they are all handmade! I was ridiculously excited when I opened my little guy and saw SPARKLES! on his brain and heart.

Meet Booboo ZomZom!

Per the Etsy store:

Purchase a Random ZOMBIE Lazy and you will receive a made to order, one of a kind MYSTERY creature that includes zombie braaaains and more.

Mystery item will be a miniature clay figurine (approx. 2" tall) that comes with an Adoption Card that lists it's name as well as it's "Likes and Dislikes".

BooBoo (and most of his companions) was $15.00 USD plus shipping!

Sparkly braaaaains! He's so cuddly for one that consumes squish!

Back

Bottom

I loved all the fun extra touches to the order. The shipping box that BooBoo arrived in had the same cute creature stamped on it as the invoice below. Sadly, I lost the pictures of it. :/ My Little Lazy was wrapped securely in bubble wrap and the box was stuffed with tissue paper. It was the perfect transport vessel.

I intend on purchasing a few more little zombies to start my very own Little Lazy Apocalypse! Leah, the owner of Little Lazies, also offers limited edition lazies such as owls and other amazing creatures from time to time. Watch her Facebook page HERE to keep to date on all the happenings!

Speaking of Leah, I was able to snag a short interview with her for everyone! Check it out.

Tell us a little about how Little Lazies came about.
Well, I have had a passion for art ever since I was very little, and even up until my time in college where I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design, but (long story short) after graduating, I fell into another passion of mine - cake decorating, which indeed is the catalyst for Little Lazies! Let me explain! I remember it as if it were yesterday... it was on one lovely, Autumn day, and I was exhausted from a long days work of decorating cakes, but remembered it was my Sister’s birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. So as I was decorating her cake, I had a ball of green gum-paste in my hands (gum-paste is very similar to clay, but this you can eat!) and I thought to myself, “Hmm, I think I am going to make her a cute, little monster for the top of her cake!” I am not sure why that idea popped in my head, but needless to say, I am very glad it did... I sat there for what seemed like hours, making her this miniature monster, and little did I know that I was developing my very own style right then and there! I finished the cake and of course I had to show all my friends the cute creature I created, and to my surprise they all wanted one, but instead of a cake topper, they asked for something that would work as a collectable to keep! With tons of love and encouragement from family and friends, I decided to explore the world of polymer clay. I then created my Little Lazies and with that, a shop emerged and more... I still cannot thank my friends enough for their support; I don’t know what I would do without them (you know who you are!)

Tell is a little about how you make your Little Lazies.
Well it all starts will a ball of clay, then from there I have to be inspired (like most artists do!) Inspiration for me can come from a lot of things - film, music, nature - but I am most inspired by Japanese culture and animation. Japan is just full of creativity and the style and culture brings a smile to my face, so why not be inspired by something that makes you happy, right? I am also inspired by my favorite artists and their talent, drive, and passion - Jublin, Megan Lara, John Sumrow, Beastpop, Wotto - the list goes on. Seeing their success in art only makes me want to work harder. As for the actual process of making the Lazies, I knead the clay (a lot) and I never use clay straight from the package; I always mix and create new colors. Then little by little I assemble a monster, bake it, admire my new creation and then send it to it's new home!

Who is your favorite Little Lazy to create and why?
Of course I love all my Little Lazies equally, I have no favorite (isn’t that what a Mother is suppose to say? Haha.) But the one character that brings me the most joy to make has to be the Little Lazy Zombies - they are always fun to create! I love bringing together an iconic character like a Zombie, that is usually portrayed as something scary and gory, and combining it with elements that make it into something somewhat sweet and adorable! My Zombies have gooey brains, sunken in eyes and stitches... sometimes they have guts spilling out or protruding ribs, but somehow those obviously disturbing images are created into something you would want to cuddle! So to say it simply, I like the juxtaposition of the cute versus the creepy - I think they work well together and most everyone could enjoy them, don’t ya think?

Tell us a little about Leah the mastermind!
I’ll make this short and sweet for you!

Leah
Likes: Going to concerts, collecting t-shirts & vinyl, and watching the sunrise

Dislikes: Being a shy girl, reality TV, and bullies of all kinds

Thank you Leah for the interview and for my newest obsession! Best of luck to you and all of your Little Lazies! :D

Everyone should run, right now, check out Little Lazies and snag yourself a new little best friend. *tears of joy*

Lady Grenade Cosmetics Re-opening and Swatches!

2013-04-01T20:57:00.000-06:00

Good evening Zombies!

A month ago now, I was able to meet up with a good friend of mine Candy Sparks, the master mind behind Lady Grenade Cosmetics! We've known each other for a little while now online and it was fun to meet in person and talk about sparkles all night! Candy was nice enough to give me some samples of her eyeshadow for me to swatch for you all. Today is the grand re-opening of LGC, so what better time than to show you the goods. Stay tuned to the end of the post, I have a little surprise!

(I only had baggie samples of each shadow, so I did not photograph them. As always, click on images for maximum awesome.)

L to R: Purple Heart, Sonic Boom, Bogie, and Zombie Genocide

L to R: Shellback, Gypsy Soldier, Ditty Bop, and My Romeo

L to R: Hocus Pocus Decoy, Wangle, 90 Day Wonder, Taps

I adore Purple Heart, Sonic Boom, Bogie, My Romeo, and Wangle. LGC eyeshadow are so super pigmented and easy to blend. I was quite surprised by a couple of the shades and how sparkly, yet wearable the are. There is a huge array of shades and colors to choose from. Because LGC is also run by a kick ass woman in the military, there are several neutral, yet fun shades for everyday wear.

Here is a quick look I did today using Sonic Boom on the main lid and lower lash line and Purple Heart in my crease!

Because today is the grand Re-opening of Lady Grenade, Candy has offered a 15% discount to all of my readers to help spread the word about the opening!

I did a fun but super simple (and sparkly) look yesterday to match the t-shirt I was wearing. (My husband drew the design!) The combination was too pretty NOT to blog about.

Recent looks using Milani ColorSTATEMENT lipstick!

2013-03-07T21:01:00.001-07:00

Zombies!

In the last few weeks, I've tried to use the Milani lipstick I've been reviewing. I've worn a different color each day for the last 2 weeks and decided to show you a few of my favorite colors!

Sangria: Matte

Chilled Brandy: Shimmer

Flirty Fuchsia: Vinyl

Red Label: Cream

Rose Hip: Cream

Ruby Valentine: Vinyl

Uptown Mauve: Cream

Violet Volt: Metallic

I really love the feel and the lasting power of these Milani lippies!

Have you tried any of the colors I have on?

Milani ColorSTATEMENT Plums and Berries lipstick, SWATCHES!

2013-03-02T13:26:00.001-07:00

Zombies!

I'm excited to present to you the new Milani COLORstatment lipstick in plums and berries. Milani has just recently changed their lipstick packaging and it looks so very classy (and shiny) now! The lipstick formula is also absolutely amazing and oh so pigmented! My swatches are only ONE swipe of the lipstick! This is by FAR my favorite collection of colors from the new formulated lippies. They are all so gorgeous and totally up my alley.

(As always, please click images to view maximum awesome!)

Everything arrived from Milani in this adorable lip case. It strangely reminds me of my lips. hehe

Inside the pretty purple Satin?

Breakdown of colors/formula:
Plumrose: Cream
UptownMauve: Cream
Chilled Brandy: Shimmer
Violet Volt: Metallic
Raspberry Rush: Metallic
Sangria: Matte
Black Cherry: Cream

Lipliner

I adore Chilled Brandy. It's probably my favorite of this lot, followed closely by Uptown Mauve, Plumrose (which is so creamy and pigmented!) and Violet Volt. The Fuchsia lip liner is incredibly creamy and lasts a really long time! Being that Milani is a drugstore brand, I'm really impressed with these lippies. They are on par with more of the higher end lipstick I own, if not more pigmented and creamy. There is a slight fruity smell to them, but in my opinion, it's not terribly overbearing, and I can't stand smelly lip products. Once again, I'm really impressed and love all the pretty colors in this lot.

Milani COLORstatement lipstick can be purchased at participating CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, and from the Milani website itself. The new COLORstatment lipstick retail for $5.49 online, but will differ depending on where you purchase them.

Have you snagged a new plum or berry Milani COLORstatement lipstick yet? What colors are catching your eye?

TGIF! It's been a long, harrowing week for me. My entire household has been sick. Just today I felt well enough to slap on some makeup and blog about it! It's been too long since a "face of the day" and I really wanted to make it a good one!

Last week I received a small order I'd placed with Darling Girl Cosmetics. Susan has recently come out with an eyeshadow called "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" which tons of my makeup friendlets began lusting over. I knew I had to have it and ordered it promprtly. Susan was kind enough to throw in some extras for me to swatch you for you! Two of the shades (Aristocrat and Dark Forest) will be released very soon, so stay tuned!

Swatches!

Dark Forest is OMFG-awesome!, as is DTMYLM!

Splurges! Too Faced and a tattoo!

2013-02-21T23:47:00.001-07:00

Zombies!

I don't know why I can't seem to get motivated to post regularly. Life, maybe? Whatever it is, I need to stop doing it. Tonight, I decided to pull out the big guns and do a blog post way past my bedtime. This might just become a *thing*...maybe. lol

A few weeks ago, I had some extra money (tax return!) and was able to do with it what I wanted. This only happens very rarely in my world, so I decided to do something I've always wanted to do....get a tattoo! But before that, I ran to Sephora and picked up the Too Faced "The Return of Sexy" palette. I've been eyeballing it for some time, because of the names of the eyeshadow within the palette and because it came with a full sized eyeliner. So, of course, I had to swatch it for you! I'm pretty excited about some of the colors. Others, I could take or leave..and the tattoo? Well, I'll happily take it forever.

So, let's have a look. Please click images for maximum awesome.

This set contained:

- 15 x 0.035 Eye Shadows
- 0.04 oz Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Black
- 0.17 oz Deluxe Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer

Back of the box

Front of the box

Inside of palette with flash

Inside of palette with eyeliner and a mini Shadow Insurance that came with palette.

From L to R- top to bottom: Naive, Pink Diamond, 7 Year Itch, Ingenue, Innocent, New in Town, Icon, Divorcee, Hopeless Romantic, Bombshell, Hollywood, Maneater, Casting Couch, Primadonna, and Beautymark.

Nifty little eyeshadow chart that I will probably never reference, but it's neat for beginners! (The card IS two sided as well.)

Swatches:

I adore Hopeless Romatic, Primadonna, Maneater, and Beautymark. Pink Diamond is a fantastic highlight for under your brown bone. Perfect Black eyeliner is the PERFECT black and lasts forever. I feel this palette was well worth the price because it came with the eyeliner and I'm pretty impressed with MOST over the shades in the palette. Everything is really pigmented and sparkly, with the exception of Naive and Pink Diamond. Plus, the names are just hilarious!

And....drumroll please! Here is the new addiction to my forearm. He's bigger than I'd planned, but I love him so so much! The pain was an interesting pain..not horrible, not pleasant..interesting. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

I hope you've enjoyed my late night postling! It's been fun..almost therapeutic! Until next time!

*all products and tattoos were purchased by me, with my very own mad money!

The Goods:

Fyrinnae "When I Grow Up" main lid and inner lower lash line
Tick:Tock Cosmetics "Midlife Crisis" blended into and above crease and outer lower lash line

Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as brow bone highlight and tear duct area

I adore this look so hard! If I do say so myself!

Soft Kitty: charcoal flakies in a clear base with multi-sized silver holo glitter. I added just a touch of pink flakie to this so that it gives off a faint pink flash when the light hits it!
Fancy Schmancy: a gorgeous mix of turquoise, grape, fuschsia, chartreuse and blue glitter in several shapes and sizes in a clear base. Dots! Squares! Hex!
Over the Rainbow:a white based polish with all the colors of the rainbow with black and blue stars!
Cop a Teal: a beautiful mix of copper and teal glitters in a clear base

Everything arrived safe and sound, wrapped in bubble wrap within a bubble mailer. I love the fancy labels on each bottle. :D

*Outside natural light. First picture alone, second the polish over a black base. Please chick images for maximum awesome.

Ok, let me just stop you right here. Do you SEE Soft Kitty in the picture below on the far right? DO YOU SEE IT? All the holographic awesome in the world. I am in love.

I just love this picture because of all the shiny bling!

So, I'm basically in love with Soft Kitty. Alone it's pretty sweet, but slap it over a black or darker base, and watch it shine. By far my favorite from the 4 polish I received. I really adore Over the Rainbow as well, because STARS, but it's a little trickier to apply. It's a bit thicker than the rest and take a few coats to get it just right, however, once it's applied and the stars are in the right spots, it's just awesome. Fancy Schmancy is unique in that it has square glitter bits and and I love the copper glitter in Cop a Teal. The names are unique and quirky as are the polish. Super fun! Everyone should go right now and purchase Soft Kitty! PURR PURR PURR!

Mini sized (5mL) nail polish from Amy's Nail Boutique are $4.50 and full size (15mL) are $8.00. Pretty damn reasonable in my opinion! Check out the matte glitter that Amy's has to offer, they all look pretty tempting!

I will have some looks coming up soon with these glitter so be sure to follow my Instagram @makeupzombie or like me on Facebook HERE!

Purple and Brown LOTD, featuring D-Vinley Chilled lipstick!

2013-01-10T20:21:00.001-07:00

ZOMBIES!

Holy CRAP, it's been almost a month since my last blog post. I don't know where the time went, but I DO know life has been insanely busy. The break from blogging was nice though. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and HAPPY 2013!

I've been doing my makeup a lot lately, but posting via Instagram, over the blog. Some days I just find it easier to snap a photo and post it over taking pictures, editing and watermarking them, and then doing a full blog post. I guess I'm lazy, but it's been fun. Speaking of Instagram: follow me @makeupzombie!

On my Facebook fan page, I asked which colors I should wear on my eyes today. I decided to go with Purple and Brown. I recently picked up the new Fergie Wet n Wild lipstick in "D-Vinely Chilled" and used it with this look. I adore this collection from WnW. The lipsticks are SO pigmented and last forever. I'll have more on that later.

Oh and I got a new camera for Christmas..and I'm digging it!

The Goods:
TFSI as primer
MAC "Blackground" paint pot as base
MUA Shade #9 for main lid
Wet n Wild matte brown (from the I (heart) Matte palette) blended into and above crease
Fyrinnae "Cupcake Sprinkles" patted over Shade #9 and blended into tear duct area and lower lash line
MAC "Vanilla" pigment as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
E.L.F. "Pink Passion" on the apples of my cheeks

Lips:
Wet n Wild "D-Vinley Chilled." Yes, it really does have lots of sparklies!

I hope you like this look! I promise to come around more often! And I really need to catch up on all of YOUR blogs! I've missed the blogging community!

Winter Wonder, LOTD!

Happy ass Saturday Zombies!

I did a fun and glittery look yesterday and wanted to share it with you all. I didn't post yesterday because my heart was heavy and head reeling from the tragedy in Connecticut. My heart goes out to all of those affected by this senseless act of evil.

Influenster Cosmo VoxBox 2012!

2012-12-11T09:50:00.000-07:00

Good morning Zombies!

I was lucky enough to receive the Cosmo VoxBox 2012 from Influenster earlier this week and I wanted to give you a preview of the goodies you should expect to receive if you're still waiting on yours.

All the stuffs!

"Forever Red" Eau de parfume from Bath and Body Works is such an amazing, sexy scent. It smells fresh and fruity but not overly so. The description: A passionate blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum.

This was my favorite item in the Cosmo VoxBox. The bottle is .25 fl oz which is $10.00 from B&BW.

Yummmmm chocolate! Who doesn't like Ghirardelli chocolate? Sea Salt Escape? YES. $2.79 each.

FriXion by Pilot pens. An erasable pen? Yes please! They claim to erase the ink by friction with their rubber tips. And they work! Who knew? $4.50 for a 3-pack.

Versus Embrace by Gillette and Venus and Olay refill. Plus a $2.00 off coupon any Venus cartridge. I actually used this last night to shave my legs. I really like the handle and the close shave. It also left my legs feeling really soft! Prices may vary depending on where you're able to purchase this razor.

I really liked this Influenster box! I feel like Influenster is picking up the pace a bit with the products they are including in the boxes.

Did you get the Cosmo VoxBox 2012 or have you purchased any of these products and loved them?

Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick SWATCHES!

2012-12-04T18:14:00.002-07:00

Zombies!

I was finally able to get my hands on some more Morgana Cryptoria lipstick during a recent sale they were having. I picked up 5 lipstick and only 1 eyeshadow, which is odd for me. :D I love the lipstick so damn much, I had to show you them ALL! NOW! Sadly, Morgana is closed temporarily as a new site is being built but stay tuned to their Facebook fanpage for updates! You can also purchase some of Morgana's lipstick from this website!

Here are the goodies!

I purchased Twinkling Rubies, Passionflower, Fortune Teller, HemoGoblin, Raisin Shimmer lippies and Pentacle eyeshadow.

L to R: Passionflower, Fortune Teller, HemoGoblin, Twinkling Rubies, and Raisin Shimmer

Pentacle eyeshdaow:

I feel Pentacle is a deep chocolate brown with tons of multicolored sparkles. It's a gorgeous sparkly shade and super pigmented! This was a new Halloween color!

Hand swatches!

(Please excuse my bitch face in some of the pictures. hehe)

First up: Fortune Teller. A new Halloween shade. A gorgeous lavender with blue and pink sparkles. So lovely.

Next Passionflower! (My favorite of the bunch.) A gorgeous blue based deep pink with shimmer. So heavenly!

Twinkling Rubies! A gorgeous Ruby red with red sparkles. The PERFECT holiday red.

Raisin Shimmer: A gorgeous raisin shade with sparkles. I had slight trouble getting this to apply evenly to my lips, but it's such a pretty shade!

And HemoGoblin: A new Halloween shade. A brick red with a slight green shift. This one came in a jar and you'll need to use a lip brush or your fingers to apply.

Pentacle on the lid. I tried to capture the intense sparkle to no avail. But trust me, it's there! AND LOUD! I used Fyrinnae's "Moonchild" as the highlight.

As always, Morgana Cryptoria lipstick are super pigmented and creamy! The staying power is amazing as well. An average lipstick sells for $12.00.

Do you own any of these Morgana products? What are your favorites?
