more swagger

Hey everyone! So I recently bought a sample pack from Swagger Cosmetics and I wanted to show you a look I created using some of the pigments. If you haven't made a purchase from Swagger or are unsure as to weather or not it's for you, I recommend you buy the sample pack like I did. It's only $3 and there's enough pigment in the samples for about 3-4 uses of each one you get. I know I did a post about Blake Karamazov previously but this post will do Blake much more justice. I didn't like the way the previous post turned out so I decided to once again recreate my image of Blake.


That's right, I even added freckles of my own this time! Haha, what do you think? Should I become a freckle girl myself? I think it's such a cute, doll-like trait. In other words, adorable!

This is what I received as my sample pack:

(Sorry you can't see "Responsitranity" well enough.)

I also got 3 business cards:

(Front of the card.)

(Back of the card.)

And here's an unclose look at my makeup:


For this look I used "Red Bone" and "Ghetto University on the lid then added a touch of "Rad Bitch" to the inner corner of the eye.

("Red Bone" pigment is on the outer and inner part of the lid and "Ghetto University" is on the middle of the lid.)



And that's the look! I love, love, loveeeeeee these pigments. I also have the HD finishing powder on my face which is fabulous; It really sets my foundation well. I can't wait to get my hands on all of those pigments and lip glosses too!

(Sassy, freckled biotch, hahaha.)

I also love the names of the pigments. They're so badass. Oh, and I have on my Beetlejuice jacket again. I'm really in love with it so I was just looking for an excuse to wear it again. 

Another thing I wanted to throw in here: I know I said before that I was looking to change my hair color again and I think I might go back to blue! Here's me with blue hair before:

(Hahahahahahaha, I'm sorry. I don't have any pictures that show my blue hair well enough so I just threw this in here, haha.)

No, but really, my hair was a nice dark blue before but I think I want a slightly brighter blue this time. I want to change it because I think it'll look awesome with the Dia De Los Muertos makeup for Halloween. I was also thinking about red (which I've already done a thousand times) or purple, but I've yet to decide...

Tell me what you guys think!
Red, blue or purple hair?
Do you like freckles?
Do you like pigments or pressed shadows better?
What Swagger product are you most interested in trying?
Tell me anything really!

But whatever you do, don't forget to like my Facebook page (if you already haven't) and TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME!


(Kisses to everyone reading this!)

black swan

Hello hello!

Just as the title states, I decided to do the look from the movie Black Swan. Here's the original look:


Now I'm no Natalie Portman but I tried anyway. Now originally I was going to do a sugar skull look but then I decided to do this instead. By the time I made that decision though, I already put a white base ALL OVER my face, haha. The actual look has white on mainly just the upper half then it blends out to a fair foundation. Let's just pretend I did that okay?

(I cropped out my lips because I didn't have a lipstick color that matched and that pissed me off...)


I was going to fill the inside in with blues and purples but I wanted to use cream liner all throughout and all I had was silver. I edited the eyes to change the color :)




I guess you could call this my first Halloween look. I was so excited to use the Ben Nye Clown White base I just bought. It's going to be perfect for the sugar skull looks I'll be doing for Halloween. Joe, Deej, my friend Chris and I are all going to be sugar skull amigos! I'll have a lot of work to do that day; I'm tired just thinking about it, ha.

This is the aftermath of me trying to wash all of this off in the shower:


Que lastima! ( That means 'what a shame' in Spanish)

I should have done a zombie look right after.

Well, that's all for today. Hope you all enjoyed it. What are your costume plans for Halloween?


Ciao!
