World of Warcraft Series: Alexstrasza

"Life is my Aspect, Dark One, and I, like all mothers, know both the pain and wonders that entails!"

Alexstrasza, the Life-Binder and Dragonqueen, is an "immense dragon...colored a deep, rich red that seems to shimmer and dance before your eyes" (source). For this look, I wanted to use red, purple, and gold as the main colors.

World of Warcraft Series: Nozdormu

"Time is a tangled web. Try not to dwell on all the loose ends."

Here is another WoW inspired look for all of you, and another one inspired by the Dragon Aspects. This one is inspired by Nozdormu, The Timeless One. He is a "bronze dragon, with scales of a metallic golden-brown color, and can arrange sand to conform to his body, cementing into one definite form" (source). I used the artwork below for inspiration, using neutral colors (golds and browns) as well as a bright pop of blue. I am still super obsessed with using glitter so I threw some gold glitter into this as well! I hope you enjoy this tutorial :)

EOTD: Summer Seashell

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I was in a rush to take a photo of my eye look today and so I completely forgot to take a full-face photo! I went to my friend's soloist concert (and if you read this, you did an amazing job Alma!) and I wanted to a do a fun eye look. I used a whole bunch of eyeshadows for this look, but I love the end result!

Swatches: Maybelline Summer 2014 Color Tattoos

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I haven't been the best blogger lately and I apologize for that. I have been really busy with a new job, and I am having much less time for blogging, sadly. But I always have time to post really exciting stuff! One of those things in new Color Tattoos! You should all know by now that I am sort of obsessed with these and I must catch 'em all! I actually do have all the shades released in the U.S...hehe. Well, anyway, I just wanted to pop in and swatch these two quickly for all of you who are just as obsessed with these as I am! And if you are curious, I bought these at Rite Aid. They are limited edition, FYI. So snatch 'em up quick!

I will have comparison swatches with other previous Color Tattoo shades tomorrow :D
