Sanrio FOTD: Keroppi

Hello ^_^
This is a continuation of my Sanrio series which is taking me a long time to complete!
The next on the list in Keroppi!~ Keroppi isn't one of my favorites, but he is a super cute little frog.
And just so you know, he was created in 1987.


I like the look I made, although it looks like an avant garde geisha look to me, lol! Here is my inspired look:


Products Used
-MAC 'Painterly' Paint Pot
-Coastal Scents 'Silk White' Gel Liner
-Wet N Wild 'I Dream of Greenie' trio
-Tarina Tarantino 'Candy Cameo' eyeshadow
-Coastal Scents 88 Palette (matte red eyeshadow)
-L'oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner
-MUFE Aqua Eyes black pencil liner 
-Prestige My Blackest Lashes mascara



How to Achieve this Look

  1.  Apply your primer/base to prevent creasing.
  2. Apply a piece of scotch tape on the edge of the eye to create a sharp line for the eyeshadow
  3. Take a crease brush and apply a lime green shade (I used the Eyelid color of the WnW trio) from the crease to just above the crease. Blend, blend, blend!
  4. Then, take a matte white eyeshadow (or in my case I used a white gel liner) and apply it on the lid. 
  5. Then, take a barbie pink shadow (I used Candy Cameo) and apply it on the outside part of the brown bone, just below the eyebrow.
  6. Take the same pink, and apply it on the inside part of the eye just below the eyebrow (Check pictures for reference).
  7. Take a matte white shadow and apply it in the space between the two places you applied the pink (the pink represents Keroppi's flushing cheeks).
  8. Using the lime green, apply it on the lower lash line. 
  9. If you want, you can also apply a matte red in the middle of the lower lash line (representing the red in his shirt).
  10. Apply liner on the water liner, liquid liner, and mascara.

 I was trying to make big eyes to imitate Keroppi's big eyes, but...it didn't really work. Haha.

 Products Used (Face)
-Skin79 Oriental BB Cream (both the bb cream and the cream blush)
-MAC Pink Swoon Blush
-MAC Saint Germain Lipstick

I have no idea why my lips look so puffy!
 This isn't a very wearable look, but these are inspired looks so I can afford to go a little more dramatic :D Hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for reading.

I am sorry if I haven't been commenting on blogs much. I have been very busy with school and I started working as a Reader for one of my professors. So besides posting, I haven't had much time for Blogger. But I will try my best to comment more often because I love reading blog posts ^_^

Sanrio FOTD: Little Twin Stars

No, I did not forget about my Sanrio Series! I just procrastinated a little bit...hehe. But I finally did another look ^_~ Yay~

The Little Twin Stars are angel-like twin siblings. The younger one is a boy named Kiki  and the eldest twin is a girl named Lala. They were introduced  into Sanrio in 1975.

I think they are so cute because they remind me of my best friend's younger siblings. Two of my best friends are sisters, and they have twin siblings who are also one boy and one girl. We all love Sanrio, and they tend to occasionally purchase Little Twin Star products because it reminds them of their twin siblings.

For this look I wanted to use blue (For Kiki's hair), pink (for Lala's hair) and yellow (for the star). Now that I see the pictures of the look, I wish I would have used a lighter pink. The pink I used was too red and a little too bright. I also should have blended the colors in a little more. Oh well. We learn from our mistakes!
Still, it is fun, bright, and it reminds me of candy and lollipops.


Products Used (EYES)
~ELF Eyelid Primer
~MAC 'Electric Eel' eyeshadow
~MAC 'Passionate' eyeshadow
~Tarina Tarantino 'Candy Cameo' eyeshadow
~MAC 'Chrome Yellow' eyeshadow
~Wet N Wild Greed Palette (I used the matte peachy-beige and the matte light beige)
~MUFE Aqua Eyes black eyeliner
~MAC 'Blacktrack' Fluidline 
~Prestige My Blackest Lashes mascara



How to Achieve this Look
1. Like always, apply your primer.
2.Apply Electric Eel, or any bright blue, on the outer half of the eye. This represent Kiki, the boy. He is one half of the whole :D
3.Take Passionate and apply it on the inner half. If you want a more subtle look, skip this step.
4. Using Candy Cameo, or any light pink, apply in on the inner half, over Passionate. 
5.Now using a light peachy-beige apply it above the crease and above the blue and pink (see the picture below for reference). This will blend the colors slightly and provide some color transition to the highlight color.
6.Take a matte light beige and apply it on the brown bone as a highlight shade.
7.Apply liner on the upper lash line (MAC Fiuidline) and on the waterline (MUFE Aqua Eyes).
8.Apply mascara


Products Used (FACE,Cheeks, and Lips)
~Erase Paste Concealer in  #1
~Artistry Powder Foundation in 'Chabilis'
~ELF Blush in  'Pink Passion'
~NYX Matte Lip Cream  in Addis Ababa






Although I am not extremely happy with how it turned out, I still like it :) I hope you guys will like it more than I do! Thanks for reading~

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read my posts and to comment. It means soooo much to me!
Seriously, with all my heart, thank you ♥

Sanrio FOTD: My Melody and Kuromi

As the tittle of my blog might suggest, I love anything dark, gothic...and Star Wars related! But even a geeky, rocker girl has a soft spot for some girly things. And I must admit that I have a huge soft spot for cute things.

This look is inspired by the Japanese Sanrio characters, My Melody and Kuromi! They are my favorite Sanrio characters and I am totally obsessed with them~
Kuromi is the black one, and I feel she is the more typical me: dark, rock chic, but not completely evil. Kuromi's signature colors are usually black and purple, and sometimes pink.
My Melody is all cute and pink. I usually hate the color pink, but she is just too cute.Melody's signature colors are pink and red.

I wanted to keep this more "cute", so I went with purple for Kuromi and pink for My Melody.

*There are some really annoying mascara bits on my lid. Excusez moi!


Products Used: Eyes
~ELF Eyelid Primer
~Pixie Epoxy
~Lime Crime Twilight on the lid and lower lash line 
(If you don't have this you can use MAC Parfait Amour)
~Lime Crime Cupcake Thief on the crease and inner corner
(If you don;t have this you can use H.I.P 'Exciting Pigment')

*You might notice that I dyed my hair. It is like a really dark brown, even though I dyed it with L'oreal's Bright Black dye. @_@ *Confused* And I look...tanner? WTF?! I think it's because my hair is not completely black, and my ColorStay is slightly too dark for me.

Products Used: Face & Lips
~Revlon ColorStay foundation in Buff
~ELF Pink Passion Blush
~MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick

I am thinking of doing a series of inspired looks from Sanrio Characters! What do you guys think? Let me know if there is a particular character you would like me to do ^_^

Enjoy, and thank you all for reading!
