LOTD - Lipstick Queen Medieval
I finally, finally, finally indoctrintated myself into the Lipstick Queen cult! I am now the proud owner and lover of the hero product/ cult staple of Medieval - a sheer true red jelly lipstick. A smooth wash of color that blends into your lips and is perfect for a not too OTT wash of color when you just want to anchor your face. I recieved this product as part of my Birchbox order, stay tuned for that review!

Eyebrows Reloaded - Benefit Eyebrow Bar @ Ulta
|From Ulta.com
Little known fact - I hate eyebrows, not everyone's brows mind you. Just mine. I sort of wish I didn't have them. But I do, and I had an unfortunate threading incident which I have been slowly recovering from. Namely trying to grow back in the patchy areas in my brows and make the overall shape thicker and fuller. So after three months, and multiple shape up waxes in between I was left with this.
|BEFORE - Unsightly failbrows.
Pretty horrific and weird right? I know. I'm sorry. To deal with it I had been lightly filling them in and sweeping them upward to make them look like wings. I'm not sure everyone got the statement I was trying to make - but it made the experience slightly more bearable for me.
Now, I showed you that weird picture to tell you this story. On your birthday, if your Ulta has a Benefit Brow Bar, if you call and make and appointment, you get a $20 Eyebrow Shaping... for FREE. And, I really like free things, so I leapt at the chance to have someone taming the raging, sad caterpillars on my forehead.
Basically, the brow consultant sits you down, chats you up, draws in the shape of your brows as they are supposed to be and waxes, plucks, trims and tweaks them until you have a nice structured brow. It takes about 20 minutes, and when you're done your brows look like this.
|Much Better - The sparse tail was because of overwaxing/ threading.
I recommend this if you're looking for a free pick me up on your birthday. Start your next year out with a great new brow look. Check your local Ulta to see if they provide this service!

Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream + My thoughts on BB Creams in General
I finally, finally found a proper BB Cream to try. And by found, I mean the planets aligned and sent me a sample in my Birchbox for me to try, thereby de-mystifying the purchasing process for me.
I like the consistency and the dry down of this product. It's thick without being goopy, and applies very nicely using your hands or a brush. It doesn't streak or sink into pores, it sort of just melts into the face. The Water Fuse cream does not leave a dewy finish on the skin, but instead sets semi-matte, and doesn't feel overtly like a moisturizer. This particular cream has a greige-y tint to it, so it definitely lightens the skin, a la a traditional cream, but otherwise you'd don't notice too much in the way of color on the face. It sort of just blurs everything over a bit. I get less about 5-6 hours of wear out of this, less if I end up sweating through it. I see myself using this for outdoor/ light makeup/ active day type scenarios as it contains SPF 30 and smells divinely of sunscreen. (Don't judge me, I love the smell of sunscreen).
|Here is Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream on my face, with a ton of bronzer.
There is a big movement comparing BB Creams to glorified Tinted Moisturizers, and I can see the argument. The main differences I've noticed between the two products is the finish and how the product wears on the face. TM's in general come off dewier on the skin - a property that very clearly indicates the origins of the products being a moisturizer. Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream does not have a dewy finish, nor do I feel like I'm smoothing a moisturizer onto my face. I feel, very much, that I am smoothing a cream/ sunscreen onto my face - it's a little drier and thicker in consistency. In terms of how the product sits, I feel more that the BB Cream is absorbed somewhat into the skin. I don't see it being streaky or settling into my pores, the way I do with TMs.
|Th greige tint is way more apparent here.
I feel that BB Creams are definitely popular with paler skinned girls. The grey tint lends itself to lightening the skin rather than providing and overall veil of color. It tends to be more forgiving in the sense that if your pale, this evens your skin and makes you slightly paler. Which most pale girls think is a good thing, because these were designed to do just that. Provide a lightness and clarity to the skin. It's what made them popular in Asian markets. But this greige-ness not my favorite thing ever. I am sallow, and this grey makes my face lighter than my body. And I am not using this product as a body cosmetic - sorry. SO WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP LOVING THIS STUFF? I am not an uncommon skintone, I can't imagine that I am the only one noticing this. Anyways.
This is available from Birchbox and Sephora. Full size retails for $32.

NARS + Andy Warhol
I feel like there needs to be strobing emergency lights and a voice coming over a PA system somewhere saying "All hands to your makeup stations! This is not a drill. I repeat! This is not a drill!" because ohmygod. OHMYGOD.
|From NARSCosmetics.com
I'm sorry - I have no more information about this, other than Sephora is going to have select peices on 1 October and that there is a video up on the NARS website.
But I shit you not. This is really happening. PREPARE YOURSELVES!
Science Fridays! Dimethicone
Hi guys! It's Friday and I am fully prepared to blind you with more science! This weeks chemical du jour is Dimethicone.
Dimethicone is a very commonly used silicone in most beauty products. It is primarily used in shampoo, due to some very unique chemical properties it possesses.
Well, molecularly, it is a polymer. So it has one common subunit that repeats itself ad nauseum to form a loose chain. The basics of a silicone based chemical is that it contains Silica (Si), and since Dimethicone is also known as Polydimethylsiloxane, it also contains an Oxygen atom (O) and two Methyl groups as a part of the subunit.
Primarily, Dimethicone is found in shampoo, because it makes hair shiny and smooth. Essentially, piths in the hair shaft and lifted cuticles are filled in by Dimethicone and it gives the impression of soft, healthy hair. Most drugstore shampoos are formulated with TONS of these.
Carbon-Silica-Oxygen polymers have very interesting uses and functions. The primary being lubrication. I could talk about visco-elasticity, but thats more of an industrial chemical application. Suffice it to say, certain polymers are very flexible in what state of matter they like to be in. Traditionally, they are considered a liquid, because they like to flow and smooth out. (See why they're used in cosmetics?) But not always. Also, Dimethicone is hydrophobic, so it repels water and is resistant to being rinsed out of the hair once in it. Hence, why it has to be stripped out of the hair after a while due to build up.
Truthfully, I think it depends on the person. People usually dislike silicones in shampoos and conditioners because they can build up in the hair line or on the face, and if the skin is not exfoliated properly, it can build up on the face and cause milia. Generally, if I am cleansing my face in the shower, I wait until after I use shampoo and conditioner to prevent leaving excessive residue on my face. And it seems to control for milia well, especially in combination with a chemical exfoliant (defoliant ? anybody think perhaps we should start a movement using the proper word for this action?)
There are also groups of people... factions, if you will (DIVERGENT FTW!) who think that silicone in the hair is bad for it. And if you don't have chemically treated hair, I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, if you have chemically damaged hair, damage can never be fully repaired and the hair can never revert back to its state before being processed. Silicones, however, give this illusion that the hair is healthy back to the hair. So - its sort of take it or leave it, in my opinion. And generally, if you avoid silicones in shampoos and conditions, you should also avoid them in serums and hair oils, because they are loaded with dimethicones as well.

NOTD - China Glaze Rare & Radiant
In honor of being born in August, I painted my nails with the shade rumored to be the Chanel Peridot dupe! Peridot, for the girl who was born in August on Hawaii, where the gemstone is found in volcanic rock. Kismet, no?

FOTD: Birthday Makeup
...I turn 26 tomorrow. And while I may be old (and also suffering from a head cold). I'm not too old for purple smoky eyes!
Skin is pretty simple - I used a light moisturizer and then the lightweigh,t but medium coverage, Urban Decay Skin Foundation in Shade 4.0. I kept the cheeks sheer and monochromatic with a light plum MAC On a Mission Beauty Powder Blush and NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium. I love really buffing bronzer into my skin. I always take my time when I apply it and really work it in using a large kabuki bronzer brush from Eco-Tools. I work in the stereotypical E3 shape with a touch down the nose and on the cheeks.
I am a big fan of layering products, as opposed to caking them on my face. I dislike when dark makeup looks heavy, so to avoid that I use a lot of pencil type products to make a darker base and then layer washes of shadow overtop. Pretty basic skills in makeup-ery, I know. So, for this look I took Urban Decay's 24/7 Shadow Pencil in Demolition - a nice purple with purple micro-glitter. I layered this in a HEAVY line above my lashes and blended upwards with a MAC 217 to pull it and diffuse it out towards my crease. In the outerconer of the eye I took a MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in Purple and drew and elogated cat eye shape and blended some more. To set all the purple, I applied the matte side of the NARS Melusine Duo in the same heavy line I applied the UD 24/7 pencil and blended some more with my 217. Seriously, if you can blend products really well, you're halfway to mastering most makeup application. I took a clean MAC 244 and dusted the inner corner of my eye with the frosty side of Melusine. I then kohl rimmed my eyes with a super black eye pencil, and swept a light line of Demolition under the lashes. The last thing I did was apply mascara - super black and a ton of it.
The lips are Urban Decay's Oil Slick - which is a super sheer black that acts as a tint and darkens the lip color. I think it anchors the face nicely without going for the typical nude. Also, concealer is a must in this look. I used the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Undereye Roller in Med/ Deep as a color corrector and then used two layers of MAC Mineralize concealer in NW25. Once before all of the eyemakeup and once after to clean it up.
It wasn't my intention to use almost all Urban Decay products, but I've been reallllly digging them lately.
- UD Skin Foundation
- MAC On a Mission Beauty Powder Blush
- NYX Matte Bronzer
- UD Demolition 24/7 Shadow Pencil
- MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in Purple
- NARS Melusine Duo
- UD Oil Slick Lipstick

Things You Can Learn From YouTube: How to look like Honey Rider (aka Ursula Andress)
I love this look. If I could trade places/ faces/ lifestyles with anyone in the beauty community, I would love to spend a day in the life of Sam Chapman from Pixiwoo. Especially if she runs around looking like her interpretation of Ursula Andress's James Bond Honey Rider look.
I guess, I should expound on the makeup a tad more. This look is right up my alley. It's my stereotypical makeup MO. Clean, understated base, with a hint of contour. Light Brows. Av ant-garde eye makeup that is feminine, but edgy and a hint sultry. Muted mouth. This is probably the best possible interpretation of my daily makeup that I could ever muster, EVER. In fact, I'm sure I will never get it to look this good. But that doesn't keep me from trying! Behold the awesome below!
AH. I love this makeup so much!

Faves & Fails Friday Edition!
Don't mind me, I'm just picking up where I left off....
- Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Espresso - I picked up this liner because I was getting bored with the same ol' same ol' black winged liner. I felt the black, while nicely avante garde, was obscuring my eyelashes and it was time to change it up. With this nice, long wearing, dark brown eyeliner, I can still get a strong bold wing and, as an added bonus, you can see my eyelashes. Really, this is just and excuse for me to wear more mascara, and it works like a frickin charm.
|From shopping.com
- Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation - I haven't actually bit the bullet and bought this yet, I've managed to acquire multiple samples accidentally, even though I did jump for the Optical Blurring Brush. But I have been loving the crap out of this foundation. It's so light, with really nice sheer to medium coverage, and it does give that blurred soft focus look to the skin. I think my favorite thing about it, is that it looks best without a setting powder, so you get a perfect my skin but better look.
|from Sephora.com
-The Body Shop Shea Body Spray - The Shea Butter fragrance is my favorite scent from the Body Shops general house repertoire, it's sort of fresh and slightly musky while still being light. The one thing I don't get about this, is that this described as being a nutty fragrance, while also being light and fresh. To me, these two can't exist on the same plane because shea smells light and fresh and as far from nutty as possible. Also, I appreciate the fact that The Body Shop went with an anti-food fragrance for shea butter (finally), even thought (apparently) they still describe the scent as nutty (which it is not). The body spray is very light so I sort of bathe myself in this haze of Shea in the morning and spend the rest of my day smelling awesome.
|from thebodyshop.com
- Soap and Glory Trick and Treatment Dark Circle Corrector - I'm not entirely sold on S&G, and to be frank, this product really didn't help their cause. While it was nice and light and blended well, it also did not correct my under eye area, at all. Even though that is literally the only place I would use this product. So, it's a fail.
|from asos.com
- Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation - This was a sample I received from a Sephora order, and I wasn't impressed with the two shades they sent for testing. I had to mix them, and frankly once this was on my face it was SUCH an oily mess. I just, meh. This was meh.

Mail Calls
1) Urban Decay Sale Order - I bought the Oil Slick Black Lipstick... on sale! Oh sweet gothic goodness you will be mine!
2) Birchbox Store - I racked up $20 to the Birchbox store, had a 20% off coupon and got free shipping. The only way this could have been better was if Birchbox participated in Ebates.

Batwing Sunglasses
These are my new obsession. I paid for these sunnies at Urban Outfitters, but I love them so, so much. They remind me of the sunglasses Gwen Stefani rocked at the Teen Choice awards, so naturally, I must have them.

Birchbox - August
|Beauty school dropout... no graduation day for you....
Can you believe it's August? I can't either and it's slightly surreal that this theme no longer applies to me, becauuusssseee I'm no longer in school (and haven't been for like 4 years). So, I'm excited but, mainly I'm excited because I don't have to deal with academia ANYMORE! HUZZAH! Thank you Birchbox for such a pleasant reminder!
|True Story - I always thought Frenchie was the best character in Grease. I wanted her fluffy pastel hair.
|A little light on the products this month.. but is thata BB cream sample!?!
|Well lookie here... my toolbox for the school I'm not going to. Gotta get hot for all of my co-workers I guess?
Viva La Juicy La Fleur - My immediate thought is that I do not like Juicy Couture anything, much less a floral Juicy Couture. I cannot take a brand that got famous because of velour tracksuits seriously, and I will probably never wear this. I actually handed it over to my sister as soon as I saw it. I think this is the second or third JC sample I've received from Birchbox.
DDF Brightening Cleanser - This is quite a hefty size. I'm not sure that it is full sized, but it is certainly a travel sized/ ample sized cleanser. I've no exposure to this product, but I am fast running out of my Skyn Iceland Glacial Waters Facial Cleanser, so I can't wait to try it!
Larabar - I was going to just flat out say Barf and leave it at that, but then I thought about how negative and un-informative that would sound. So I am going with this. This tastes like Barf, and because the taste is less than savory I do not like it. There. Better?
LiQWd Professional Volumizing Catalyst - This is a volumizing/ bodifying spray. If this works the way my Aveda Style Prep (which I lurve) works, then it needs to be applied to freshly washed and conditioned almost dry hair. You aren't supposed to focus it on the roots, but rather spritz it all over and then just blow dry the crap out of your hair, using a brush to direct it how you want it to go. Then it just adds all this lovely texture and volume to the hair. I would say this product will be better suited towards shorter hair, that would benefit from some messy, misdirected, undone texture.
Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream - First off. I love the way this smells. It smells so strongly of sunscreen. And. I. Just. Love. It. The cream itself is really lovely, sheer, smooth, moisturizing, semi-matte dry down, lovely greige undertone... Wait. In the BB cream furor everyone kinda forgets that these were also primarly used as lightening creams to make the skin whiter. I don't think this has translated well into American/ European brands. But this greige-y tint the Dr. Jart's has is definitely whites my face out. Perhaps a better candidate for winter?
|You can see the grey/ white tint on my hand from the Dr. Jart's BB Cream. It's less obv on the face, but it does pale you out.

A Peek into the Gallery: MAC Starflash Collection
Every chick who has makeup has items that she covets more than anything. I would say being a makeup connoisseur and occasional blogger, I may have slightly more covetous items than most, acquired mainly by my zeal and compulsive makeup acquisition tendencies. To kick off the tour of some of my more awesome pieces, I've selected something I'm fairly certain very, very few people have.
|My MAC Starflash Collection
So, if you're a hardcore MAC-o-phile, you'll know that Starflash shadows were released in two collections. Once in 2008 and the second in 2009. It's absolutely crazy that I still have these, and let me tell you, some of the shadows have lost that smooth, creamy softness Starflash shadows are known to have, but I still can't bear to let them go. But, what a few may have lost in texture, they make up for in color payoff and soft metallic finish. What I have is not representative of all of the shades released by MAC, nor were all of these purchased all at once. Over half of them are CCO steals/ stalks, and one was a birthday gift. All of them have been depot-ed by myself, some more successfully than others. But they are all my mad loves. In fact, I'm so weird about them, that I only use them on special occasions.

FOTD: Earthly Metallics
.... anybody else feel like my title is a bit oxy-moronic? Yes? Me too! Anyways. This really isn't a tutorial, but I am going to describe the techniques I used to get this particular look.
The Eyeballs
Basically, I used two products as a base which is the key to turning a frosty shade into a metallic shade. NARS Pro-Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer from lash to brow and MAC Powersurge Kohl Pencil all over the eye, under the lower lashline and winged out slightly at the outer corner. Then I blended the whole eye with a MAC 217, and set the lid with UD Suspect Eyeshadow. For the crease, I used a tiny bit of UD Tease Eyeshadow on a MAC 266, which is a finely pointed precision crease brush, but I held it on an angle and deposited most of the color above my eyeshadow, and blended really well. For the highlight, I used the flesh toned browbone highlight from the Wet n' Wild I Heart Mattes Palette, and hit my browbone, the side of my nose, my inner v and just under my lower lashline. I rimmed my eyes with MAC Feline Eyekohl, and ran a superfine line of liquid liner from Eyeko of London's Skinny Eyeliner along my lashes to anchor them. As a finishing touch, I layered Beauty Addicts ShowOFF Mascara, a great bulking mascara under UD Big Fatty Mascara, my favorite finishing mascara.
The Face
I'm not into heavy face makeup, I'm a big believer that to get a flawless base, less is more. But I'm also not a big believer in just using concealer and powder either - I feel that it makes your face look unbalanced. So, my happy medium is sheer foundation that layers really, really well. Like MAC Face & Body, which is what I used. I also like to apply foundation with my fingers/ hands and smooth into the skin. The rest of the face is pretty light. For concealer I used two thin products that layer well on my under eyes - Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roll On in Med/ Deep and MAC Mineralize Concealer in NW25. Then I buffed on some bronzer, your favorite will do and powdered the face down to a semi-matte finish.
The Lips
This is really easy. I like the look of matte lipstains. Stains normally have a bit of sheen to them, which is nice, but with the insane amount of bling on my lids, to keep this look balanced, I went matte. I applied and blotted, and applied and blotted, and applied and blotted, and applied and blotted Bite Beauty's Lush LipTint in Blackcurrant, until I felt my lips had enough color, and then, I simply dusted a mattifying powder over them. Boom. Matte-Stained Lips!
Key Products:
- NARS ProPrime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer
- MAC Powersurge Eye Kohl
- UD Naked 2 Palette
- Eyeko of London Skinny Liner
- Super Volumizing Mascara (Mascara is subjective, use what works for you!)
- MAC Face & Body Foundation
- Illuminating Concealer and Lightweight Corrector
- Bronzer
- Bite Beauty
- Any Red-Brown Balm that is very sheer, but can been built up to layer
- Mattifying Translucent Powder (I used Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder)
That's it! Hope y'all like it!

NOTD - Julep Isla
I finally recieved my Julep Add on, the nice liquidly pearlescent Isla. After which I proceeded to manicure my nails and something went horribly awry. I think I may have been channeling Johnny Weir and an 80s revival bride, I'm really just not sure. Anyways, I just wanted to have a manicure with Isla, but it was so fantastically frosty/metallic/sheer/streaky (I wasn't aware that could happen either) it couldn't be saved, so I settled on classic misdirection and tried to bling out my ring finger. Overall, I like the effect but it reads more Siberia in January than East Coast mid-August. Whatevs. Two coats Isla, over Nail Tek Ultra and under Seche Vite. Oh and bonus doggle pic!

The Liebster Award!
I was recently nominated/ bequeathed the Liebster Award, not once.. but twice within the week from two different bloggers! The first being Meredith from NYCMakeuplover1 Blog and the second from Stephanie of Packer Lacquer, and I am super pumped about it :). Thank you so much ladies!

2. They must also answer the 11 questions the ' tagger ' has set for them
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.
6. There's no tag backs.
11 Things About Me
1) I have a Master's Degree in Forensic Science. No I'm not shitting you about that.
2) I was born in Hawaii.
3) I wear exclusively black clothing, much to everyone I knows chagrin.
4) I have recently lost almost 60 lbs, which is a feat I never thought I could do.
5) I love college football. Specifically the SEC. More specifically 'Bama. ROLL TIDE!
6) My second toe on both feet is freakishly longer than my first toe. But it makes me awesome at picking things up with my toes!
7) I really like cheese. My favorite is swiss followed up by a nice fresh mozzarella.
8) My favorite nailpolish brand is Nails, Inc.
9) My favorite makeup brand is NARS.
10) I turn 26 on 23 Aug!
11) I am deeply thrilled that two people nominated me for this award. It makes me feel good to know people read the ThinkTank :)!
NYCMakeuplover1's Questions
1) What is my favorite store to shop at for makeup? In general, Sephora. For luxury and niche brands, Nordstroms. For drugstore makeup, Rite Aid and Ulta.
2) What is one type of product I have the most of? Eyeshadow, definitely. I have at least four full MAC palettes from collecting over the years, and then some lovely LE quads I am deeply in love with. I also have quite the collection of Wet n'Wild palettes, I am so surprised by the quality of them.
3) What do your friends/ family think of your makeup habit? Honestly, my immediate family doesn't think much about it anymore. They know that I prefer makeup type gifts and they go willingly with me when I lurk around Sephora and the MAC store. I tend to get asked to do wedding and special occasion makeup a lot.
4) Whats my favorite part about blogging? Other than I can be completely off the wall and no one can tell me that I'm being inappropriate? Probably my Mblog posts. I think they're unique and have the perspective that beauty happens to everyone, and I try to publish them in an "in-the-moment" spirit.
5) What make-up is on my wishlist right now? UD Naked Skin Foundation, but I'm waiting to lose my summer glow a bit more, because the shade 4.0 white's me out a bit too much for summer. Also, MAC Haute & Naughty Too Black Mascara and MAC Nightmoth Lip Pencil.
6) Do I stick to certain beauty rules during the seasons? No. I prefer dewier foundations in the winter and heavier in the summer. I use bronzer year round, and find opportunities to wear dark lipstick as my mood strikes me.
7) Are there any makeup items I don't wear? Regularly, probably foundation primer, mascara primer, lip pencil and highlighter. That is not to say I don't use them when the opportunity presents itself, I just find them unnecessary in daily makeup. Also, if I forget to put something on my face daily its usually lipstick, which is hilarious because I own a ton of lipstick.
8) Do I have more High End or Drugstore Makeup? High End. Definitely. But I do have a soft spot for DS lipstick, mascara and nailpolish.
9) Do I wait for a sale to buy makeup or pay full price for drugstore? If I want a particular item badly enough, I buy it full priced. But generally I only buy DS makeup if it's on sale, and on sale in a manner that I appreciate, like 40% off rather than buy-one-get-one-50% (eff that). Or I use coupons. I stalk displays for coupons that I can use for other items.
10) What is my favorite mascara of ALL TIME? Thats a toughie - it's a tie. Urban Decay Big Fatty (reformulated) or Beauty Addicts ShowOFF mascara.

Packer Lacquer's Question
1) What is my go-to-can't live without beauty product? Mascara. Give me a q-tip and I can even make a decent go at eyeliner with it. Without mascara it looks like I have no eyelashes, I need this to not look like a space alien.
2) What is the most I've ever spent on a bottle of nailpolish? Probably $14 for MAC nailpolish. I think if polish costs more than $10 and it doesn't have LSD in it that I can absorb through my nail beds (which, for the record, it can't - because that would be illegal), then it's probably over priced.
3) What is the last book that I read? The Treasurekeeper by Shana Abe and Insurgent by Veronica Roth.
4) What is my favorite dessert? Ohhhh this is hard... I'm not usually a desert person.. but if I had to choose? Probably the make your own frozen yogurt sundae places or Fruit Tarts with Creme Anglaise centers.. yummy.
5) Name a guilty pleasure. I own a sample of Hermes Jardin Mediterranee, and I never wear it because I am afraid of using it all up. I just open it and sniff, compulsively. I do this a lot, when no one is looking, people already think strange things about me, no need to fuel the fire!
6) How did I get started blogging? Way back in 2008 I wrote What Lachesis Thinks! and if I had stuck with it, I probably wouldn't be a noob again. But I just lost interest in it. Then I decided that a makeup world devoid of my opinion was sorely missing something special, so I started up again. Good news! I still am interested, I mean I bought my blogs domain name!
7) What is the story behind the name of my blog? Well it's a spin-off from What Lachesis Thinks. And then I always hear about focus groups and think tanks, and haven't really heard about a singular blog called a Think Tank, so I just struck while the iron was hot.
8) If I could take the vacation of a lifetime where would I go? I would start off with a month in the UK and then probably another month touring France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Then I'd hope over to Singapore, Japan and Korea and finish up with like 6 months in the Oz (Australia). Pretty much I'd go everywhere that didn't actively hate the US, just to see all of the world. If I was really adventurous, I'd pay Richard Branson some moolah for a seat on Virgin Galactic, but I am mildly terrified of planes, so I am not sure how much I would enjoy the whole experience.
9) Who is one beauty personality, living or not, I would die to meet? Living - the Pixiwoo sisters. Dead - Alexander McQueen.
10) What is my Sunday lounge outfit? Black yoga pants or oversized black resort pants, and a black spaghetti strapped top.
11) What is my favorite beverage? I really like tea in all forms. See also Coke Zero (Roman's facebook update got me into it - 10pts if you get the reference!)

NOTD - Illamasqua Bacterium
I had nice nails and then work systematically destroyed them. Sigh. I'm working on rehabing them, they're a work in progress. But!!!! Illamasqua Bacterium! Great for the Metallic Earth trend for fall. I, for one, am super excited about it. This is 2x IB, with Seche Vite on top and Nail Tek Iltra on bottom. Two pics so you can appreciate IB in all of its multifaceted nude-greige-green blue shift glory.

August CCO Finds!
If you happen to be within driving distance of the Greater Philadelphia Chelsea Outlets I recommend hitting up the Cosmetics Company Outlet (CCO) for some fun and discounted MAC, Clinique and Bobbi Brown finds. I have also seen Smashbox, Origins, Ojon, Estee Lauder and more showcased there. I like CCO's because they are cheap and cheerful. And, if you know your MAC, you can find some awesome discontinued products from old collections. I hauled these three products for $30 - see why I enjoy CCO's - and they all have plans for being included in my Fall 2012 staple makeup.
|My finds.
I purchased the following:
Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black
MAC Modern Mocha Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker
MAC Black Line Intense Pearlglide Eye Liner
Black Line is a staple eyeliner of mine. I use it everyday I don't wear winged liner, I like to line my eyes with it and then take a pencil brush and blend it out. I keep layering and doing this technique until I feel that my eyes are sufficiently lined. Then I whack on some mascara, and boom. Easy eye makeup, a subtle way to be a glittery adult.
Modern Mocha was a purchase I made because brown lipstain markers intrigue me. I never buy drugstore ones because I find the browns/ neutrals to be unpigmented. Since this was discounted, I decided to jump in! I really like it. It's actually a really nice My Lips Butter Better lip color that goes on smoothly and evenly. It's great for a person like me, who tends to be absent minded with lip products, but knows her face needs a little definition in the lip area. It's not too much or too little, it's just right.
High Impact is a good foundation mascara. I'm a compulsive layer-er, and rarely am impressed with one coat of any mascara. I tend to use a combo of at least two to get length, volume and blackness. I'm a fan of super dark eyelashes. Anyways, High Impact is a decent lengthening and curling mascara. I layer UD Big Fatty over it for the extra sooty look, and to make it smudgeproof. I like it, it performs just as well as higher end mascaras for cheaper because I bought it at a CCO!

Glossybox - July
I'm just gonna save my breath and post pictures. I've come to accept that Glossybox has weird billing and shipping TATs. I've come to accept that I can be frustrated about this, or just go with the flow. Or, I could cancel my subscription. Which I did. Then my July box rocked out hardcore, and now I'm on the fence. AGAIN. Crap, Glossybox, why you gotta play me like this.
|This months box contained TWO full size products, and two awesome haircare products.
If you now have Sublime stuck in your head... you're welcome. I am here to serve.
OFRA Universal Eyebrow Pencil - Full sized. I really like this pencil. It's waxy and hard, and just a really perfect shade of brown. Not too dark. Not too light. Not too warm. Not too ashy. Juuuussstt right.
Senna Cosmetics Lipgloss Duo - This is also full sized, and I think it's damned hilarious that Senna is selling it for $22. The two colors are a cross between a metallic nailpolish and disco ball. They are very sheer, and could be layered over lipstick should you want to add some '80s bling to your lips. They don't have a lot of slip, you sort of brush them on and smoosh them into place. I'm not really fond of this. But the packaging is really pretty.
Caswell-Massey Almond & Aloe Hand and Body Emulsion - This is quite possibly the douchiest sounding hand cream ever. Emulsion... really? If you're going to call yourself an emulsion at least have the self-respect to come in a tube.
Sebastian Color Ignite Multi-Tone Shampoo - I really like Sebastian hair products, and this is no different. A nice, milky, low-lathering cleanser that doesn't strip the hair and leaves it clean and supple. It's also lightly and non-offensively scented. Win!
Sebastian Color Ignite Multi-Tone Whipped Conditioner - IT'S A FOAMING CONDITIONER! And by foaming I mean it comes out of its little spout like WHIPPED CREAM. I totally dig it. But then, I am also 5 on the inside. The conditioner is a nice light conditioner that I feel really sinks into the hair, and despite its curious airiness is very moisturizing.
Alessandro Pedix Feet - This is a foot cream that has gylcolic acid in it. It's designed to dissolve dead skin cells on the feet and reduce callouses. What I appreciated about this product is that it came to me completely sealed. Which is not something I would have thought to check for, but was presently surprised that it was packaged this way.
|OFRA Brow Pencil on the Left, Senna Lipgloss on the Left.
I swatched the two color cosmetics. Definite upgrade on this box. Finally, some color products. But it was just a little too late for Glossybox. I think I'm going to give them a few months to work out the kinks and perhaps give them another go at the beginning of the year. But right now, I could take it or leave. So I'm leaving it.
NOTD - Julep Sienna
This was posted to my Instagram (follow me @lachesissss). This is two coats of Julep Nail Vernis in Sienna, with Nail Tek Ultra as a basecoat and the indomitable Seche Vite as a Top coat. Super metallic, love it. Its a golder version of OPI Designer De Better and harkens back to Avon Spellbound (if anyone remembers that).

Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System
Every time I look at this product I hear the Rocky theme song "Gonna Fly Now" open in my head... except I hear "You will have amazing lashes NOW!" instead of.. you know.. "Gonna Fly Now". Basically, The TF Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension system is designed to give you lashes so fierce you don't need falsies. Or, in my case, make the false lash look more accessible for those that are challenged (read: itimidated) by the beast that is the false eyelash, a la yours truly.
|The tools
1) You prime the lashes with the large gold tube of mascara.
2) Then you apply the nylon fibers to the lash from the little white tube.
3) Then you re-coat the lashes with the gold tube of mascara to seal the fibers onto the lash and give them some extra oomph.
|The Step 1 & Step 3 Mascara Wand
|The Step 2 Nylon Fiber Wand
Overall, I find the Step 1/ Step 3 mascara very thin. It gets a nice even coat of product on the lashes, but doesn't go beyond anything other than darkening them. It doesn't specify if you need to let the first coat dry or not before application, but I just used common sense and applied it when I felt the lashes were tacky. The third coat, I applied multiple coats of to get the lashes covered, and I didn't feel that the brush carried enough product to get the fibers covered in one coat. So it takes some finesse to get the final coat on without clumping the lases together. Also, I find that you don't have to seal the lashes with the mascara provided, I used my UD Big Fatty mascara to the same success.
|Just Step 1 - fairly decent mascara, not overly volumizing or lengthening.
|Step 2 - Nylon fibers... looks sorta...snowy.
|Step 3 - Mascara to seal the fibers in.
I think its a definite improvement over bare lashes and over the primer coat. There is a definite impression of voluminization at the midshaft and lenghtened tips on the upper lashes. Does this compete with a set of falsies at this stage... not sure. I'm inclined to say no. So, lets get a little cray-cray and apply a second coating!
|Step 2 - I skipped step one because I completed it at Step 3 at the end of application 1.
|Step 3 - again!
To answer the most obvious question - No. It does not feel like your eye is being bogged down with a ton of product, nor does it feel like you have pair of false lashes on. I liken it to wearing multiple coats of mascara. If you're a hard core wearer, you won't notice because you're used to wearing mascara. A novice eye makeup user, however, may notice some extra weight on the eyes. Also, to answer the second most obvious question - No. This does not flake off into my eye. But I have trained myself not to touch my eye area, so that I don't mess my eye makeup up anyway, so this is not a problem for me. But, if you're going to rub your eye, I don't think this will overly flake off, but I do get the impression that rubbing will give you a serious case of spiky, stuck together, spider lashes.
I would totally reccomend this product if you are looking for a more natural (read: Believable) version of super sized lashes. I quite like it, and really enjoy the look it gives my lashes. I feel comfortable wearing this product with minimal eyemakeup, because the lashes make such a statement (channeling the Emma Watson cover of November British Vogue). I also like it because, now, I don't feel the need to use a lash primer because the Nylon fibers add such bulk and weight to the lashes. But again, I don't use this product every day.
Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System is $35. So, it is quite pricey., almost on the order of a luxe foundation. However, if you can hold out for the Sephora F&F Sale in November (if they have it - it's never guaranteed, but they've never not had it in my recollection) or if Too Faced has a sale, you can cinch this for a steal. You can purchase this, where ever Too Faced Cosmetics are sold.

There is nothing better than the magic of love.... well maybe the magic of love at Christmas. And lets not argue with Christmas magic when it wants you to be with your fated mate. Lizzie realized this and followed her gut. I really enjoyed the authors ideas of the Kringle's being shifters and hope that there will be more to this series... - Amazon Reviewer Tera Comer
Miss Claus and the secret Santa by J. L.Hendricks is book one in a Shifter christmas Romance series.
The "Truth" about Santa Claus.
20year old Lizzy is Santa Claus's daughter and (is) to (be) married to the beta's son her childhood friend.
They are wolf shifters.
They visits other packs in Europe and Russia. Lizzy feels a strong pull to go to Los Angeles.
There she meets Palo her fated mate. They fall for each other. Both have strong Christmas magic.
On Christmas he proposes and they become the next Mr. and Mrs. Santa.
Miss Claus is a sweet story about shifter, christmas and love.
I liked it and give 4 sugar sweet Stars . Thank you J.L. Hendricks - Amazon reviewer KD
Life with the Claus is always fun and exciting, now picture them as shifters and it gets even better. This new author's adaptation to the Santa story is quite good and well worth the read. - Amazon Reviewer Joy Kiili
What a fun and unique story! Santa as a wolf shifter...I enjoyed this story a great deal. Sweet and clean, mystery and magic - I highly recommend this one! - Amazon Reviewer Terri Roller
From the Author
I had a wonderful time writing this book! Who wouldn't want to live in a world where Santa was a wolf shifter? I plan to revisit this world next year and write the next story in this series before Christmas, maybe even release it during Christmas in July! LOL
If you enjoyed the book, please let me know! And please consider leaving a review, they really do help me to determine what to write next.
Some reviewers have mentioned a second story in this series. There is a prequel, Santa Meets Mrs. Claus. This is all about the parents of Lizzie and how they met and became Santa and Mrs. Claus. Currently, it is available exclusively in Magic & Mistletoe. Which is a 15 author Paranormal and Urban Fantasy boxed set of short stories and novelettes. If you loved Miss Claus, then Magic & Mistletoe is a must read!

2014 Demo Reel:
Scott Guy is a Toronto artist. In June 2003 working as a research assistant at Alias Wavefront, a Toronto 3D Software company Scott presented his first animated short film. It was at the Om summer solstice festival, now known as ORP Solstice. Every year since then he has been there improving his experimental Live Video Art installations and working with the ORP community and fellow artists as an entertainment coordinator, co-creating this very special local festival experience.
"As a kid I was always interested in cartoon drawing, painting, model making and the setting up and of course destroying of intricate sceneries" – said Scott about his young art life. He became interested in film and specially visual effects later on in his youth after a few years playing in a band and avoiding High School.
Studying VFX and 3D design as a young man in 2001 2002 he learned the foundation of his skills he now uses as a content creator and visual installation designer.
In 2003 Scott had his first gig showing a looping 10 min short on VHS at Om Fest's main music stage for the performance of band Canal. At that event Scott met and was quickly recruited by Toronto Psytrance promoters Black Light Activists (BLA). Since that time he has taken the stage name Vj Guy and performed his special brand of live visuals hundreds of times. He has presented installations in some of the most prestigious public and private venues around Toronto like Casa Loma and Dundas Square. However his true VJ form was forged in the underground music and arts scene around Ontario. Performing with groups like The Black Light Activists, Shakti Collective and Alien inFlux Harvest Fest. He is known for setting up custom screen installations in any environment and performing beautiful themed visual journeys filled with nature, aerial photography, space flight, digital simulations, geometry, visionary arts and deep zooming fractals.
Scott is an experienced performer and technician so Vj Guy is able to meet and exceed the challenges of any event size, style or format. Working as a show technician for many years he has a deep knowledge of staging set ups and video projection technology. Also an experienced video game and interactive software professional for over 10 years.
He now specializes in 3D Video Mapping of custom surfaces, Large Format Architectural Projections, 360 Projection rooms and Domes, and other exciting visual installations for all kinds of public and private entertainment clients around Canada and abroad.

Average Daily High Temperatures for St. Simons Island, Georgia:
October: 78
November: 70
December: 63
January: 60
February: 63
March: 69
St Simons Island for Your Winter Plans
With warm weather for the majority of the year, stunning beaches, and exquisite cuisine, St. Simons Island is the perfect winter destination to plan an extended vacation. What more could you ask for in a home away from home? Over the years St. Simons Island has become a favored destination for many "snowbirds" looking to escape the harsh winter elements of their northern hometowns. Whether coming from the Midwest, Northeast or Canada, many enjoy the mild winters and warm reception they receive on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Whether you are planning to stay a month or all winter picture yourself here for the winter and checkout our rentals or real estate.
Come visit St. Simons and enjoy the beautiful oak-lined streets, a true symbol of southern living, walk through the quaint village area, or enjoy the hard-packed sand that makes riding bicycles on the beach at low tide an enjoyable activity year round. Perhaps you could also visit the surrounding islands. You can easily Island hop to nearby destinations like Jekyll Island, Little St. Simons, Sapelo and Cumberland or enjoy a quick drive to nearby Savannah, GA or Jacksonville, FL.
Many of the Hodnett Cooper Vacation Rental units offer the ability to bring all members of the family on your extended vacation. Pet friendly units are available throughout the year and for extended stays. Enjoy spending time on the pet friendly beaches—sunrise being a particularly popular time to stroll and admire all of Mother Nature's splendor.
For the active, St. Simons Island offers tennis, golf and fishing as favorite year round activities. There's no shortage of things to keep you busy.
Most of all, visitors who return time and again for the winter months love the leisurely pace, the at-home feel, a "hi y'all" from a familiar face and the seclusion of a resort destination that doesn't seem like a resort destination. The Island's unique, local shops and restaurants each feel like the neighborhood gathering place.
"Wicked Good Travel Tips" sums it up best, "St. Simons Island has resisted the temptation suffered by so many other tourism areas to tear down everything in sight and replace it with shopping emporiums, manufactured quaintness and high-rise luxury developments. Driving along the winding island roads, reveals a charming mix of well-loved cottages, traditional family homes and stately dwellings."
Along the way, St. Simons Island has received praise and top reviews from The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Outside Magazine and more. But the reviews we hold in highest esteem are the year-after-year return of so many winter guests. Snowbirds, welcome to St. Simons Island, Georgia!
The majority of units are offered monthly and can be viewed online, however please call 888-638-4750 directly to book your vacation experience.

hi, i want now who is best atk atribute for wyn summoner human race
The cheapest one.
I want to know which to use dark or fire or wind
There's no best, just the most strategic, for PVE u take what mobs dont have high resist against, for PVP u take whatever u want.
Just avoid dark, as everyone has 3 parts in dark resist cause of Kelbim/Tauti's.
If we take only the endgame stage into account and ignore varied class usefulness in different places, Holy is the best element for both PvP (as Seivlas mentioned) and PvE raids as well as some hunting zones, Wind is remarkable for almost any PvE farm, Water is good and rare enough for and in PvE and PvP.
Wind for PvE farm: Enchanted Valley, Hellbound (Magic Circle and Ridge), Giant's Cave, Dimensional Warp, Raider Crossroads, Blazing Swamp, Fairy Settlement, Isle of Souls and Nornil's Cave (S2, S3), Antharas
Holy for PvE raids and farm: Baylor, Balok, Beleth, Zellaka (party), Atelia, Giant's Cave, Land of Chaos, Pagan Temple, Coral Garden, Seal of Shilen, Fairy Settlement, Dimensional Warp, Dimensional Rift (in Aden) and in PvP versus people who added Dark resistance to 3 armour pieces (almost everyone)
Dark only for Octavis raids, Garden of Spirits and The Cemetary
Fire for Istina instances, Emerald Square, Fairy Settlement, minor use in some other places
Water vs Valakas, Pelline and pve farm in Desert Quarry (Hellbound), Blazing Swamp, Steam Corridor, Dimensional Warp
Earth vs Kalios, Lindvior, mobs in Garden of Spirits
Dark, Fire, Earth attack attributes are the worst elements to take. (There are resists against them from dyes and epics too.)

Email verification is very cool feature that linked with email marketing, it helping to find real customers. You can try in on email validation source.
Callouts or callbacks (aka Sender Discourse Verification - SAV) are a rules of backscatter. They are adapted to aside receiving systems to shot at to demonstrate that a lonely alcohol mailbox exists, during attempting execution to that mailbox and viewing the response. If improperly implemented then they can concern a withdrawal of mending on a modus operandi that had its domain forged into the spam. They abuse a RCPT TO command to trial utterance, attempting to replicate what the (over lame) VRFY command allowed.

A crucial prosecution witness in a case involving the Omagh bombing retracted his evidence suddenly yesterday, saying he had testified under pressure from Irish police.
Colm Murphy is on trial at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on charges of conspiring to cause an explosion in August 1998, when a Real IRA bomb attack killed 29 people in the Co Tyrone town of Omagh.
Yesterday, Patrick Terence Morgan, a witness in the trial, indicated that he wished to withdraw evidence that Murphy had borrowed his mobile phone the day before the bombing.
The court was told that Mr Morgan, who is Mr Murphy's second cousin and was a bricklayer working for the accused's construction firm at the time of the bombing, had been on medication.
Mr Morgan told the court when he was recalled to the witness box that he had made a statement and later given evidence after Irish police put pressure on him. He said: "I can't sleep or live with myself for saying I gave the phone to him. I had to get it off my conscience. I told a lie."
Claiming he was threatened by police, he added: "I was put under pressure, they wanted evidence that I gave Colm Murphy the phone, which is not true. I did not give him the phone at all. It was in the van."
It had been alleged in court that Mr Murphy had given Mr Morgan's telephone, together with his own, to an associate of a high-ranking Real IRA figure. Both phones were said to have been used during the operation.
Mr Murphy is the only person to face charges connected with the Omagh bombing. Some weeks ago, a controversy broke out in Northern Ireland when it was alleged that the Royal Ulster Constabulary had not investigated properly the bomb attack, which is regarded as one of the worst incidents of the Troubles.
The Murphy prosecution has not gone smoothly. Two months ago the court ruled, after listening to expert witnesses, that interview notes submitted by a detective had been altered and that the officer was "guilty of patent falsification".
A judge described the conduct of two detectives as outrageous, saying they had been involved in persistent lying under cross-examination. The trial continued after the court ruled there was no evidence that other police interrogators were involved in falsification.Reuse content
