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

 

*Lace shirt - Flea Market / Satyricon T-shirt - Vagos Open Air Festival / Underbust Corset - Dracula Clothing (Second hand) / Skinny Jeans - present from BF / Transformer 800 Demonia Boots - Second hand / Beer Pint - Present from father Odin*

 

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...

 

*Me & my Dearest*

 

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

 

*Me & my Sweetest sister, Suspy*

 

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!

 

 

 



Room tour! :3

this is my room!
I'm showing just a few things here and there, but just because I have a real fetish with collecting things *cof cof* hoarder *cof cof* so I really have quite some little and big treasures tucked away under my bed and in an infinite number of boxes, wooden or cardboard, and bags and storage units.

that's just me. things make me happy because they make me feel full. and not just things one can buy. practically everything makes me feel that way, even when I'm walking near the sea shore during summer and happen to find sea shells or an odd looking rock. even leaves make feel that way. a piece of paper that holds the cutlery together in a diner, sharing a meal with a special friend or the ticket from the very first time I went to an amusement park.
be it of a high or low importance, I am fascinated with things.

I guess this would be my dresser. as you can see, it its best of days it still manages to look cluttered, messy and belonging to someone with her head in the clouds.
and it's true.

these are some of my pride and joy. my babies.
I'm sure it doesn't look like much to a great deal of people, but in those shelves lays years and years of saving up for some good (goth) quality shoes. I'd have to say 99% of these shoes were bought with my hard earning money.
life's a bitch, but then again, you have to be financially smart in order to have your cake and eat it too.

my little, almost dying charriot.
now, I don't really know what the heck this thing is called, nor in English nor in  Portuguese. I just call the name, that I can only assume by pronouncing it, to be in French... so, yeah.
I have a few more drawers of clothing but this is my main place for articles that you rather have hanged, otherwise you'll just get wrinkles everywhere...

this is my kinda-like-an-altar to Earth.
that's me and my hunay! love him to death. and a few more things, all that I "feel" to be within the earth spirit.

and here's my water kinda altar.
I've been going through a weird phase where I loooove to buy figurines that old people would get for their grand daughters as totally unwanted gifts, like this gorgeous mermaid or my troll in the photo above this one. once again, all that I felt to be a part of water is here.

this is one of the walls in my room.
unfortunately I have the urge to change this immensely, but the money has to be wisely spent and to paint this huge red wall to a purple... it will take a bit more of savings. and I am currently saving up for a hair color change and Norwegian lessons.

 plus, I always have to have some extra money for the projects I'm starting.
this is one of them:

it will be a wiccan/witchcraft inspired bottle, and I'm now finishing a custom bottle necklace (that I'll put up photos when done) and all of this on top of having an insanely amount of school work to do and tests coming up. ho my...

this is the Room Tour video, just go ahead and have fun with it!

see ya soon. :3
