Dressed up in the Hall of the Slain

Last saturday me and my friends went on a trip to the very belly of Asgard, deep inside the mist parting the worlds, to the Hall of the Slain, Valhöll.

 

this was my makeup for the night...

 

 

I tried to make a more polished look by using a soft colored lipstick from KIKO so that the lips would not overpower the eyes, and on this particular look I really wanted to avoid the heaviness of two focus points on my face.

 

the little dots were made just to add a touch of medieval feel to it, the type of face painting one would do if belonging to the barbarie.

the funny thing is that I also use these dots when making more futuristic makeup, but somehow since I didn't go crazy with it I think it served its porpuse.

 

I avoided the eyeliner because I wanted to stress the ethereal feel of the makeup and still be able to pull off medium/long lashes. I also used and abused of shimmering white but my camera had a bit of trouble picking it up...

 

 the black eyeshadow is also shimmering, and it's from KIKO and it was applied solely on the hood of the eye and corners, streching to the inner eye , my eyebrow pencil is from AVON and again, these were made in a rather natural shape and look, to perpetuate the medieval feel.

 

this was the best photo I have from the outfit

I'm not very happy with this photo... alas, this was said outfit.

I went out on a limb by using this corset since I still feel a bit chubby, and if you're going to use any type of shiny material, such as PVC, then I advice your silluette to be perfect, otherwise you might realise that the shine of your clothing is reflecting an exaggerated image of you.

and you don't want to fight your wardrobe.

 

the pairing of the Satyricon t-shirt with the lace on the inside was not a very happy one when the light hits them... but I must say for a night out these two little pieces went perfect like toast and tea.

 

not a flattering photo by all means... but you get the gist of it.

 

we had a very amazing, metal filled night.

I'll leave you with some precious captions of Valhalla...

a couple that headbangs together, stays together...!

our sexy photographer was very tipsy by now, so all photos were a bit on the funny side.

gosh darn it, I love that girl.

 

*my friend played the Misty Mountains Cold*

 

we destroyed that place... we basically stormed that night club and owned the dance floor.

not to just say that it was a friend of ours that was the dj for the night. and we even made a couple of new friends, so the All Father Odin was more than benevolent to have graced us with such an amazing night.

 

see you soon!

 

 

 



OOTD and DIY proactive thinking!

I came to my darling's house for us to get ready for New Year's Eve, which we are going to have here due to the practicality of it.

 and also because this year (and the next) we are committed to spend much less money in all sorts of things so we can afford more quality time instead of just having "time" together.

and I will not lie.

I really want to afford some things that go beyond the "really need" factor.

for instances, I love to have gel nails. 

(it is my understanding that in the USA and in the UK people use more acrylic nails.)

but I cannot afford the ridiculous prices for a well done job.

I went a couple of times to a more affordable place and the job was so badly done that the nails started falling off after two days.

So I decided to start making my own!

impossible you say? why, no my dear.

I did a great deal of research on the subject and watched an insane amount of Youtube videos, weeded out the nonsense and superficial and in two months time I had bought all the necessary equipment for nail galore manufacturing. now remember, this takes a bit of effort from your part.

but as you can see, the results were divine:

I will be sure to make a post so you can see my materials.

also, you need to be smart and think which materials are best to be bought at a high end store and which ones you can get away with going to the chinese store (or dolar store).

this was my first time only and I'm in love with the results.

also, I believe I will disclose how much each item cost me and the differences in price ranges, all you'll need to know for nail galore.

there will also be a video, so I'm sure I'll cover all aspects of this DIY project, but any questions just ask away! : >

See you soon my dearies <3
