Vampire Tears + Review

As I've been in such a vampy mood lately (probably from watching the all new True Blood) I decided to do a True Blood inspired look today :) I couldn't wait to try out my new filmblood from Grimas and I must say I LOVE IT!!! It's so easy to use and I love the colour type A. The consistency is nice and runny, but not too liquidy so I was totally happy with my latest purchase :)

I also used my new NYX eyeshadow base for the first time! I've been wanting to get a white eyeshadow base for ages but never really got around to it. So I finally picked it up on saturday and I am also very happy with it :) I did find it very shimmery (that's because it is pearl white) but I still found it nice and creamy! I suspect it would be a little too glittery with matte eyeshadows but I'm gonna give it a go for  while and test that out! All in all, happy out!

New Goodies!

Yay, new goodies for the Beauty Pig :) ... My Grimas blood finally arrived which I am DEAD EXCITED to try out :) I also decided to give my amazing ArtDeco eyeshadow base a rest and try this white base from NYX. I've heard many good things about it, so why not try it on for size... A review will follow soon so stay tuned!

Batman Villain Scarecrow

It's time for another 'Batman Villain' and today's villain is Scarecrow! He was surprisingly sooo much fun to do! I was reluctant to start on him as he is not colourful like the rest of the villains (which is a usual preference of mine)... And earth tones were never really my thing... Until now! Doing Scarecrows look has opened my mind up to earthy tones, especially as they make my blue eyes pop :) So happy days & happy bird scaring everyone!

Messy, messy Beauty Pig

So, this is a shot of my workspace, while I'm doing today's look... As tidy as I normally am, that all seems to go out the window when I touch some make up, ha ha! I guess that comes with the whole "so caught up in the moment" thing :)

Pretty fly 4 a white gal


Whoop, whoop-a-do! My new Sleek palette is here! --> Sleek launched a new eyeshadow palette called i-Candy from the Candy Collection and I just HAD TO purchase. Anything that is called "Candy" has got to be purchased :D And the wrapping even has cupcakes on them! *IN LOVE*

Anyways, this colourful look sprang out of me wanting to get stuck into my new goodies :) Hope ya'll like it!

Batman Villain Catwoman


Yay, it's time for another Batman Villain! And today's villain is Catwoman :) ... She is probably the most popular villain among the ladies --> People use her look for halloween or just a fancy dress party, so I guess that is why she was so much fun to do. I mean let's face it, her catsuit is pretty awesome ;)

Hope you enjoy the look peeps! Meeeeeoooowwwww!

Summer Sunshine

Piggy 'Macbeth' and I are enjoying this super hot weather and chillin' out. Although I must admit, Piggy is doing a lot better than me --> I am absolutely MELTING away and he is totally chillin' his beans :D He is a trooper!

Colourful Cat Eye!

So peeps, here is what I did today :) --> It was absolutely boiling in Germany today! 30 degrees in the shade and I was literally melting away! But seeing as I got my hair done today (a beautiful and bright blonde, finally with no yellow patches) I decided I needed an eye make up to go with my fabulous new hair :D ... So here goes a colourful and 'summer dress' inspired look to match the lovely weather!

I hope everyone had an awesome day too! Toodle-ooooo!

Photoshooooot :)

So today was my photoshoot with the amazing Katharina from Fotostudio Lichtblick and we had a blast! I am absolutely wrecked now though! Got up at 3:45 to start shooting at 7:00 but it was ALL worth it! We even had some stray visitors such as rabbits and spiders... My poor photographer got attacked by spiders which wasn't so much fun, but she survived and took it like a true trooper :)

Pictures will be up in about 2 weeks or so, so stay tuned and watch this space :)

Now for some pizza, Game of Thrones and the beloved couch!!! HOORAY!

Rock 'n' Roll Vamp


Ooooh, I finally bought my awesome hairband --> on sale too! Happy, happy me! Unfortunately, my vampire fangs weren't as good as I had expected. They didn't stick at all. So I simply left them out :)

Hope you enjoy this vampy look anyways :)

A quick and quirky look inspired by the colours of my new shoes :) ... I seem to find inspiration in EVERYTHING and ANYWHERE! But I guess that is totally normal for an artist like myself :)

Hope you enjoy!

Collab try out ;)

So as some of you might know already, I will be doing a collab with a local photographer who wants to use my eyes in her new logo :) ... This was a trial work I did for her logo, so she can see what I am thinking of doing. The work for the collab will be a little more subtle than my usual self, so it was quite a challenge to NOT go mad with the colours :)

We will also be doing a shoot for Beauty and the Pig, so stay tuned to find out what is coming next!

Feeling summery!

The temperatures are finally going above 20 degrees and I am feeling super summery :) --> And what is better than a bright orange lippy to embrace the sunshine?!

Topped with some Ray Ban specs, I am all set to let the summer begin :) Happy days!

Products used:
- Flormar's Pretty Cream & Glaze Lipstick in 'P321'
- BeYu's Bixjux Star Gloss

Quick Review:
- Flormar's lipstick has a fabulous shade of orange, but is quite 'sticky' looking on its own. That is why I topped it with a shimmery lip gloss from BeYu to add that extra bit of sparkle :)

Enjoy the sunny weather!

Batman Villain Series - Poison Ivy



So today's look was Batman's Poison Ivy --> I had sooo much fun doing this look!

Firtstly, I went out for a walk and gathered some ivy leaves to make my look more "foresty" :) ... I wanted to make a simple, yet effective, Poison Ivy headpiece to complete the theme.

I have to say, this look has probably been one of my favourite ones (along with the Penguin). It was the first female villain I did, and I think Poison Ivy rocks :) I wish I had more time to make a full costume, but all of that will follow once I start my fashion design course in october. Happy villain making!

P.S.: I'm absolutely diggin' green lipstick! Defo something to consider for the future ;)

Today's Batman Villain - Bane!



A lot of friends requested different batman villains, and this was one of the most interesting characters --> Bane! Obviously he is a tanker ... and how could a girl of 1,52cm be anything like Bane? Well, here is my interpretation of him! I hope you like it :)
