Roundup and Giveaway Winner: October Series Challenge

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I want to thank those of you participated in the October Series Challenge~ And a HUGE thank you to all of you who have left lovely comments on my weekly looks! Well here is this month's roundup~ Enjoy :D

Disney Villains Series: Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog)

Greetings from the Dark Side~

"You can blame my friends on the other side"

I love the movie The Princess and the Frog, and I love Dr. Ficilier's song "Friend on the Other Side" even more. So I decided to do an inspired full face look based on his appearance during that song. Not only is he the movie's villain, but his look is very fitting for Halloween, which is only a few days away! This was my first time working with Aquacolors or with white face cream so I was super excited to do this look. I hope you all like it!

Disney Villains Series: Demona (Gargoyles)

Greetings my glamorous readers!

Hello everyone! I am soooooooo sorry this look is so late. This was supposed the be last week's look, but life has gotten in the way of my blogging. If you wanted to join the Series Challenge, you are welcome to do the Demona or the Dr. Facilier by the end of the month since I am super late on posting my own looks. If you did either of the Demon or Dr. Facilier looks on time, you will get an extra point for that.

Anyways, today's look is inspired by Demona, a villain (sometimes she is sort of an anti-hero) from the Disney cartoon Gargoyles. I grew up watching this show, and I absolutely love it! There are so many Shakespeare references, the story is engaging, and the characters are complex. You won't see many cartoons like this one now a days. The look came out like a bit of a mishmash of different colors, but I hope you enjoy it either way. ^_^

Disney Villains Series: Maleficent

Greetings my glamorous readers!

This look is inspired by my favorite Disney villain of all time: Maleficent! Sleeping Beauty is my favorite princess movie (although I love all the princess movies!), but Maleficent is probably the best character from the movie, IMO. She is not just evil, she is really glamorous too. The way she talks and the way she moves her hands so delicately shows true classiness (well, classy in an evil way!) I was very excited to make this look, and I hope you will like it :) My inspiration was Maleficent's eye makeup and her dragon form.

NOTD: Maleficent's Flames

Greetings from the Dark Side!

This week is Week 1 in my October Series Challenge and the inspiration is Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. I have been trying to think of what eye look I wanted to create, and I thought I should also do something with my nails that matched Maleficent. I wanted to try to do something different with my nails and I was inspired by Maleficent's green flames to create this sort of gradient nail look.

This was my first time ever tying out the gradient effect, and I messed up a lot! I am pretty terrible with nail art, so go easy on me! But I still really like the way it came out. It looks so appropriate for Halloween! I used Sinful Colors 'Irish Green' and and NYC black nail polish. I added two coats of my Out the Door top coat as well.

 I think if I do this again, I would add a dark purple with lines (the underside of the dragon's belly). I think I also need a green that is more yellow!

*I just realized Maleficent is spelled wrong on the photo below...Ugh. Let's just ignore that ^_^

Disney Villains Series: Ursula

Greeting from the Dark Side!

This was a quick look inspired by the Disney villain from The Little Mermaid, Ursula. Despite being an evil sea witch, she still looks very glam! She is really kickass, and I remember being scared of her when I was a small girl.
This look is a more "subdued" version on her makeup. When I say subdued, I mean that I am not going as extreme at I could have. Ursula has very purple skin and very large eyelids. Most people would have painted their face purple and would have covered their eyebrows to draw in thinner eyebrows that go much higher up on the forehead. But I want this to stay simpler, glam, and somewhat more feminine. This would be a perfect look to wear to a Halloween/dress up party. Pair this look with a long, strapless black dress, Ursula's purple earrings, her shell necklace, and maybe a white wig.
