Fancy Night out FOTD & OOTD

I was going out to a special Truffle dinner hosted by Philippe Mouchel at PM24 and wanted to add a little colour to the little black dress I was wearing.

Since my shoes and handbag (the only matching set I own ;-p) were hot pink, I decided to make that the star colour in my makeup. I used Sugarpill Dollipop on the lid over MAC paintstick in Processed Magenta and combined it with some the Sleek Candy Collection palette. Then for the lips, I applied my favourite pink lipstick of the moment, Coloured Raine Intimidate with a little MAC Nightmoth around the edges for definition.

Then for the black portion I blended Bulletproof, the matte black shade also from Sugarpill, over a base of Inglot matte gel eyeliner in #77 for extra depth. That gel liner works magnificently on the waterline and stays on so long it's amazing!


If you love an opaque, deep dark black or a matte hot pink as much as I do, check out Sugarpill here, along with many other gorgeous bright shadows!


Enjoy!

Hollow Heart Cutting Sick & Struttin' my Shit - Bloopers

Ok, this is some super silly shit! I had some extra footage from my Hollow Heart Lookbook and I decided to make a video of outtakes & shenanigans. Yeah, it’s self indulgent, but I had so much fun recording the video and I couldn’t help but share a look behind the curtain.

The actual Lookbook video is here and the blog post for it is hereif you want to see where I bought all the items and the makeup stuff details.

Lookbook: Hollow Heart Ft. Romwe

I've got a killer lookbook to share with you based around this "Heart" black hollow T-shirt I got from Romwe. I bought it a while ago and thought it would look great with some of my punk and gothic styling pieces and work really well for gig/stage wear.

In the same haul I also bought the anomalous hem red skirt (some may call it a high-low skirt, but I just call it a mullet skirt) and I also paired the outfits with my tripp tartan skirt, Jeffrey Campbell the Spike Litas and studs a plenty!

Check out my lookbook video below including some shots with my beloved bass guitar "Adolf" and some regular old rocking out or see it on YouTube here.

Feel free to visit my YouTube Channel here and maybe subscribe if you like what you see.

If you're interested, the makeup details are at the bottom of this post.


If you love a sexy, goth black as much as I do, check out Sugarpill here, along with many other gorgeous bright shadows & pigments!


Enjoy!

Glowing Acid Wash Nails

I thought I'd have a go at an acid wash design adding some funk with neon polishes and totally rad glow in the dark awesomeness! I saw this cool effect in a MissJenFABULOUS Tutorial and loved the 80s style of the manicure.

I used the awesome Born Pretty Store Candy Colors Luminous polish layered over Color club Jackie Oh! to get a juicy coral/hot pink shade and Sally Hansen White On for the white layer. And I switched it up for a reverse accent nail for extra fun! My boyfriend says they look like candy and now I want to eat them! xp
 

I totally recommend the Born Pretty Store glowing polishes so check them out here! And I have a code for 10% off at Born Pretty so just type in "MIHW10" at checkout on any order!


Also, check out my video tutorial of the Glow in the Dark Acid Wash Nails in action below!
I will never get sick of Glow in the Dark nails!!!
