Game of Thrones makeup series- Dorne

Happy Sunday Funday!
I have another post in my GoT makeup series today.
If you've been watching the show lately,
you'll know that Dorne is becoming an increasingly prominent place,
with the Martells being from/ruling there, Oberyn, and the Sand Snakes.

Here are a few of the pictures I used of Dorne as inspiration:


And here's the soft/subtle look I created:


I used:
UD's Primer Potion
UD's 'Lucky', 'Reign', & 'Brokedown'- crease
SYN Cosmetics' 'Slim'- inner corners
SYN Cosmetics' 'Blaze' & 'Zone'- lids
SYN Cosmetics' 'Trace' & 'Greedy'- lower lash line
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Game of Thrones makeup series- House Martell

Hooray!
If you follow GoT at all so far this season,
you know that House Martell of Dorne is becoming increasingly bigger players.
(if you've read the books, then you REALLY know what's going on!)
In honor of that,
I wanted to use House Martell as the inspiration for my next installment
in my GoT makeup series!


Here's their sigil:

Based on their colors,
I created the following look!







I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
Sugarpill's 'Love+' & Lime Crime's 'Siren'- crease
Sugarpill's 'Flamepoint'- highlight of crease
Lime Crime 'Circus Girl'- inner corner
BFTE 'Tangerine' & 'Wacky'- middle and outer lid
Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner
Covergirl mascara



I freaking love these fiery combos together!
I feel like i've used a lot of reds, golds, and oranges in this series,
but there are prevalent within the GoT world!


Anyway,
I actually wore this look out in public. Twice.
I love it.
What do you guys think?

Skyrim Makeup Series- 'Markarth'

I want to take one quick break from all the Halloween-themed posts
and do another look for my Skyrim makeup series.
I'm really having fun with these series.
The possibilities are endless!

Today's post is about Markarth:

Markarth is one of the largest cities in Skyrim,
located in The Reach.
This is a remote city characterized by it's stone and water resources.
The city is composed of the working district on one side,
and the noble Nords on the other.



As you can see, the city is made up of rugged terrain like rocky mountains,
waterfalls, and valleys.
This is what I used as inspiration for my look :)
Here it is!



I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
Sugarpill's 'Tako'- brow bone
Urban Decay's 'Urb', 'Mildew', 'Money', & 'Lost'- inner to outer lid
UD's 'Prank' ,' Madness', & 'Haight' and SYN Cosmetics' 'Delusion- crease
UD 'Vanilla' -inner corners
UD 'Lost'- lower lash line
Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara


This is a pretty straightforward look,
despite the amount of shadows I used :P
It's nothing super fancy,
but I really enjoyed the color combo.
It's been awhile since I used so many UD shadows together,
and it made me remember why they're one of my 
ultimate favorite makeup brands.


What do you guys think?

PCC- 'Think Tink'

So here's another cute fairy polish for you today from my recent Pop Culture Cosmetics haul.
This is the most Disney fairy-esque polish in my eyes.
Here's 3 coats of 'Think Tink'!


'Think Tink' is a pastel lime green crelly filled with differently sized green & gold glitter (some holo), gold stars, and a gold shimmer. It's really lovely, and reminds me much of Tink's green outfit. This was my daughter's (who's 2) favorite one of the five :)

Unicorns in the Mist

Finally! Another nail post! :)
I bought two super awesome looking nail polishes from Starrily recently,
and here is one of them!

This is one coat of 'Unicorn Chronicles' over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'In the Mist'.

'Unicorn Chronicles' is a clear base topcoat with differently sized pastel & iridescent glitter.
I really liked it over the deep green because it reminded me of a unicorn emerging from a mysterious, hidden forest. Or, something like that...

POLISH INFORMATION
Brand:  Starrily
Type: Glitter Topcoat
Formula: Awesome! Glitters like this can tend to be clumpy, but not this polish!
Opacity (1-5): 1
Application: Great! I didn't have to pick out any glitters at all. They came out like this in one stroke. How often does that happen?!
Price: $9 
Get This: her Etsy site



I was uber, uber pleased with this polish.
The formula and application were divine, especially for glitters.
This topcoat would look amazing on a lot of polishes;
I'll try to have it paired with others up soon.
What do you guys think?


Definitely check this indie maker out- some great neon glitters out right now, also!

Winter is Coming!

IT'S ALMOST THAT TIME !
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am totally obsessed with Game of Thrones.
I fell in love with all the books,
and now the show returns for their 3rd season this Sunday! :D

In honor of that,
I have the first of several Game of Thrones themed polishes for you today!
First up is 'Winterfell', the dwelling of one of the main (& one of the best)
 families in the series- the Starks!

Here's 3 coats of  Not Too Polished's 'Winterfell'.

'Winterfell' is a shimmery grey base packed with white & silver holo glitters of various sizes, giant white hexs, and teeny blue & teal glitter. This polish SCREAMS winter to me & it could not be more fitting for Winterfell!

POLISH INFORMATION
Brand: Not Too Polished
Type: Glitter
Formula: Great!
Opacity (1-5): 3
Application: Great!
Price:  $7.50
