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!

Review: DreamWorld Hermetica Hocus Pocus Collection

Greetings from the Dark Side!

If you are looking for some more Halloween themed indie makeup, DreamWorld Hermetica's Hocus Pocus is an option to consider! The collection is called Hocus Pocus (I am pretty sure that this is inspired by the movie of the same name. I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid so I can't be 100% certain) and it has a whopping 16 eyeshadows and two blush colors (which are not swatched here). I tend to like more geeky themed indie eyeshadows, so I don't particularly care for the names, but the colors are stunning! Below are the swatches for all 16 eyeshadows~

NYC Super Hero Chic Collection - Nail Polishes


Hey guys! Guess what? It's that time of the year again: the time that we start to see Fall and Halloween collections~ I was very excited to finally see the NYC Halloween collection; I've been stalking my Rite Aid ;P.  I bought the collection from last year, and I knew I wanted to check out this year's as well. I purchased all four of the nail polishes in this collection, however I can't find one of them (the glitter called 'Angel'). I took a photo of the bottle, but when I was going to swatch it, I could not find it D:< I have no idea where it went! But for now, you can see swatches of the other three polishes~ 

Keep reading to see swatches!

FOTD: Morticia Addams

Hello darlings!

In the spirit of Halloween and spooky October, I want to share my Morticia Addams inspired look :D I have wanted to recreate a makeup look from a particular picture of Morticia Addams, and I am quite satisfied with my own rendition of it. I shared this look on my Facebook page, but I thought I should also share it here on my blog. It was quite a dramatic look for everyday, but I don't really care; I'm just awesome that way! Anyways, I hope you like it :)

Products Used
-Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
-Lime Crime 'Chinadoll' Palette (Lotus Noir black eyeshadow)
-Milani Liquif'Eye black pencil eyeliner
-Sugarpill 'Tako' Eyeshadow
-Illamasqua 'Ore' Pure Pigment
-Prestige My Biggest Lashes Mascara
-Ardell 'Wispies' Lashes

-Lioele Super Gold Snail BB Cream
-White Cream Makeup (mixed with the BB cream)
-NYX 'Snow White' Lipstick

Morticia Addams Look

This look is basically a black smokey eye, but the black in only concentrated on the outer half of the eye and the lower lash line. The inner half of the lid is a wash of a white/cream matte eyeshadow, with a touch of a golden bronze on the lashline and blended into the black. I also applied some of the same white eyeshadow on my brow bone. It is difficult to see from my picture, sorry! :/

I used the Lime Crime 'Lotus Noir' black eyeshadow as my main color for this look. I used it on my eyes for the black smokey color, on my eyebrows, and to contour my face ever so slightly. I loved how this look resulted. It is bold and very sultry!

Last Minute Halloween Look: Psycho Anime Girl

Hello lovely followers!
I want to take some time to welcome any new followers :D Thank you for joining the Dark Side!

Halloween is literally a few days away! Are all of you planning to dress up? Here is another easy, last minute Halloween look you can do. Do  you have an old wig, maybe even some circle lenses? Then you can do a bloody/pyscho look! This isn't a complete psychopathic look; it is still cute and anime-like. This look would look much better with colored lenses or circle lenses to really make it look like an anime character, but my eyes are a little sensitive lately and I don't want to wear any lenses right now.

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.

Last Minute Halloween Look: Vampire Bride

Greetings from the Dark Side!!

Halloween is quickly creeping up on us and along with that, the desperation to find a costume. I love Halloween, but in the last two years, I haven't been dressing up. This is usually because I can't find a costume I like, or I end up not wanting to spend money on one. But sometimes you end up wanting to go to a costume part and need a last minute costume. As a part of a Halloween contest by The Powder Room, I quickly created this Vampire Bride look. It is so easy to do, it requires minimal products, and you can use this with a black dress and a veil to create a last minute costume.

I used all products that I had on hand, and I am sure you can create this just as easily!

NYC Sweet and Devilish Collection (Halloween 2012)

Greetings from the Dark Side~

Fall is my favorite season, especially because both my birthday (Oct. 25) and my favorite holiday (Halloween) are in this season! I also love the yearly Halloween collections from drugstore brands. I just spotted the NYC Halloween collection Sweet and Devilish and I picked up a couple of products. This is not a review; it is more of a haul/swatch post to show you what these look like. It is really a heads up, so that if you want something from this collection you have a basic idea of what the products look like. This is limited edition and I purchased all of these at Rite Aid (and I get a small discount because of the Wellness Card, woohoo!).
