Necronomicon Look

Tonight I'm heading downstairs to a nightclub that hosts the goth club Discotheque Necronomicon. This is my last week of work before my holidays, and I got the permission to start a little later and work from home tomorrow. It was such a nice gesture, I almost never get to go to Necronomicon since it's always in the middle of the week and only starts at eleven. And it's basically next door, since it's two doors down from our apartment house's main door. But now I'm prepared and sipping some cava at home (which was so bubbly it burst all over the kitchen) and ready to do some dancing! Unless it's too hot, which it probably is, since it's 28 degrees Celsius outside right now. Anyway, I got a good excuse to wear a tiny dress and put on some loud make-up, that's enough for me :)

I'm actually wearing chicken bone earrings I made from old hoop earrings. They
have a few chicken spine pieces I saved from a fried chicken and soaked in chlorite
to get off the chicken smell and bleach them a bit.

I'm wearing:

Darling Girl Cosmetics Obviously A Wig (dark pink with a blue sheen, in the crease)

Evil Shades Suffocation (light pink with a blue sheen, on the lid)

Sugarpill Darling (medium shimmery turquoise/aqua, on the tearduct)

Sugarpill Bulletproof (matte black, and liner on the outer half of upper lids and on lower lash line)

Black mascara, also used as liner on upper lid 

Maybelline 10H Tint Gloss in Timeless Plum

Pastel Spring Look

This one is from Friday, I was feeling happy with the increasing light and melting snow, so I went for light colours!

I used:
Lime Crime Eyshadow Helper (as a base)
Glamour Doll Eyes Fabulous (light turquoise/blue with shimmer on the outer lid and in crease)
Evil Shades Suffocation (light pink with blue sheen, on the middle of the lid)
Sugarpill Tako (matte white, inner corners and brow bone)
MAC Fluidline Blactrack (matte black gel liner)

Full face shots! These were taken after a day at work, so I'm a bit shiny. Sorry ;P

I put my hair in a side ponytail, it's such an easy look.

I'm finally beginning to understand how long my hair is! I've been growing
it for years, now it's the length I wanted :)

Soft Pink and Orange Look

Inspired by my orange shoes, I wanted to experiment with some less used colours. I used soft pink, light peachy orange and a vibrant darker pink for this look.

I used:

Evil Shades Sweet Alice (very light baby pink, on the whole lid)
Fyrinnae Rapunzel Had Extensions (peachy light orange with a golden shift, on top of Sweet Alice on the outer part of the lid and in the inner part of the lower lid)
Aromaleigh Flutterby (dark pink, in the outer crease and on outer lower lid)
Petrol mascara

I paired a Lumene lip stain with the light eyeshadow, this is Promise.

And an extra picture of my undercut, which I dyed turquoise! It looks very
blue in this picture, but it was taken in the cool morning light.

DJing Look

I was really excited when I was asked to DJ at a local fetish event, I was there last year and really liked it. This year they had even more performances, pole dancing, Japanese style bondage and a latex fashion show. Especially the pole dancing looked fabulous, the dancer made it look so easy!

I was there on my own for most of the evening, since my other half was busy (building a trebuchet from Ikea stuff, that is), but I was so happy that I met a lovely lady who reads my blog who I had bumped into at Lumous also. She and her friends took me under their wing, they were so nice! I met an old friend later, it was so nice to see her again, I think it's been over a year since we last saw each other!

I haven't been to many fetish parties, but the thing I really like about them is that everyone is free to dress as they like and people really work to look their best there! This is what I wore for the evening:

Dress - Artifice Clothing

Corset - Artifice Clothing

Tights - Backstreet

Shoes - Pleaser (second hand)

Hair extensions - Some chinese eBay seller ;P

I had worn the dress only to one photoshoot before, it wasn't the colour I expected. Neon pink generally isn't my colour, I like a bit more muted pink to go with plummy purple shades I like. This is what it looked like in the shop, not even close to the real colour! The pink doesn't photo well, I think it's too dark and neon in my photo, but it's still way brighter than in the shop photo. It's also made for someone who has no ass and HUGE bosom, I'm more the other way around ;P Still, I managed to make it work and finally wore it somewhere! It's still comfy and I love the pointed shoulders.

The hair extensions don't match my hair perfectly at the moment, but the flash makes it super obvious in the photo, IRL they looked better. At least I hope so ;P Well, it was dark in the club anyway!

On to the makeup!

I decided to do a super glittery look and found just the perfect video tutorial, this one. The colours look a bit different on my skin because I'm so pale, I didn't really think of it before starting to do the look, so I did some tweaking in the end to make it look better. I also skipped the cream shadow and didn't use glitter. I haven't worked with glitter that much and I didn't have that much time, so I went with a Sugarpill loose shadow instead.

Here's what I used. From left to right: Sugarpill Poison Plum (the purple
in the palette), Maybelline Fit me blush in Deep Rose, Fyrinnae Lip Lustre in
Coffin Velvet, dark purple Mschic kohl pencil (for lip lining), Sugarpill Chromalust
loose shadows in Darling and Magentric, Evil Shades shadow in Banshee, Fyrinnae
shadow in Cuddlefish and Glamour Doll Eyes shadow in Glam Girl.

I followed the tutorial, but added some Banshee on top of Darling to lighten the colour a bit and blended Poison Plum edges with Cuddlefish and Glam Girl to make it cooler. Coffin Velvet and the kohl pencil I used for lining my lips created a nice gradient, since the pencil was a bit darker and cooler shade. Deep Rose blush is my new favourite, it created a nice flushed look but is still glamorous. I'm also wearing black contacts.

I think the evening went really well. Not many people felt like dancing, but that's okay since there were so many shows to see and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I'm not too familiar with the kinky scene, but every party I've been to has had a warm, friendly atmosphere and people are really nice (except for the one guy with a hungry look who tried to pick up every lady at the party, but at least he was polite and went straight to the point by asking if I'm available). I got my picture taken, since they had a photographer and an awesome chair to pose with. I'm hoping it turned out nice!

Polar Bears and Purple

The Midsummer celebrations continued with some video games and going to a bar to have a few drinks. I found a useful tip on a Facebook group about using Fyrinnae Polar Bear with purple and wanted to try it out right away. I had used Polar Bear before, but didn't like it that much, since it was so yellow. But with purple it really seemed to come alive!

I used:

Face
Missha Perfect Cover BB-cream number 13
Detrivore Pallor Mortis powder
Fyrinnae Temptation blush (shading under cheek bones)
Evil Shades Gossamer blush (on top of cheek bones)

Eyes
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae Polar Bear (on inner part of lids)
Sugarpill Birtday Girl (on center of lids)
Sugarpill Hysteric (outer parts of lids, on brows with Evil Shades mixing medium)
Sugarpill Tako (brow bone)
Sugarpill Poison Plum (lower lids)
Sugarpill Bulletproof (just a touch to darken the crease)
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
L'Oreal Beauty Tubes mascara

Lips
Claire's purple lipstick
MSCHIC dark purple eyeliner as lipliner
Sugarpill Hysteric padded on top of lipstick

Hysteric doesn't match my hair, I think I'll try and look for a better match :)

Sorry about the blurry pics, I took the batteries from my flash to use in Wii
controllers so we could play Raving Rabbits with four players ;P I was
wearing a black satin shirt with a black miniskirt with suspenders. My
hair still has the curls from the day before, so I just brushed the curls open
and let it hang loose.

After the super awesome Midsummer I'm trying to shrug off a cold by drinking lots of hot tea, wish me luck! Only two weeks until the northernmost goth festival in the world, Lumous, starts. It's happening in my home town so luckily I don't have to travel anywhere ;)

Book of the Dead Look

This is my look from yesterday, I wanted to use Book of the Dead by Fyrinnae which I got a while ago, so I picked other colours to go with it. Book of the Dead is a gorgeous golden colour with small blue and teal glitter. I'm bummed that I didn't remember to take an outfit photo, I wore a shirt my mom brought me from New York, it has a glittery spider on it. It's bling and goth at the same time ;P

I used:

Eyes
Fyrinnae Book of the Dead (on the lid
Fyrinnae Damn Paladins (inner part of lids)
Concrete Minerals Doe-eyed (crease, blended up)

Face
Missha Perfect Cover BB-cream in nro. 13
Evil Shades Matte Silk powder
Elf blush in Glow

Lips
Gosh lipstain in 003 Berry

Last Rays of the Sun

I've been celebrating Easter by eating heaps and playing Dragon Age II. I say it's an excellent way to spend almost any holiday ;P Today my other half and me did a quick photoshoot in the living room just before the sun went down (well, so low the opposite building covers it, but still). I wore Concrete Minerals Jezebel smoky eyes and Gosh lipstain in Berry, with some Evil Shades China Doll blush.

By the way, the lace body and hotpants cost 2,5 euro from the fleamarket, both excellent finds! I haven't been kind to the body and it has a small tear on the side, but it's easily fixed. The necklace is from Seppälä and cost 3 euro, if I remember correctly. Earrings are from eBay and the shoes by Iron Fist.

On to the pictures!

This one is my favourite, also featuring Nana's ass.

Möttönen liked the sunny sofa also.

Here you can also see my Iron Fist shoes!

The batteries in the flash were running out, resulting in dramatic pictures.

Bonus picture of Möttönen lounging on the sofa armrest!

Birthday Dinner Look

This it what I wore to a friend's birthday dinner on Tuesday. We were supposed to go and see Iron Sky with a bunch of people, but then some couldn't come and I got tickets for the earlier show and so on. So, we just decided to go to a restaurant together and have a few beers.

My hair had nice curls from being in a bun the last day, so I only backcombed the roots a bit and let if hang loose. The Poison Plum stained my lids and left me looking like I'd cried whole night the next day, but I just put some neutral colour on top. Staying up until three in the morning is not good for having lots of time in the morning to cover staining ;P

I used:
Sugarpill Bulletproof
Sugarpill Poison Plum
Gosh lipstain 003 Berry
Evil Shades China Doll blush

I used Poison Plum to fade out Bulletproof.

I'm bummed all the pictures had my necklace cropped out, it's a skeleton cameo with black glass beads on the chain.

Current 93

Yesterday I went to listen to Current 93 in Helsinki. The band is one of my favourites, although their records are quite varied and I don't like all the albums. The gig was at a theatre, with the audience seated. I had a good seat right in the first row on the balcony. I don't know what I was expecting, but I think the fist half of the performance was a bit boring, but luckily the last songs saved it. I love The Inmost Light and Lucifer over London!

Here's a version from youtube so you can enjoy it too :)



I wore a brown smokey eye look and forgot to take a picture of my outfit, but I had a simple little black dress, black tights and a black pvc bolero. When I got back to Tampere at 01:00 am, it was snowing and the whole city looked magical, if somewhat damp. The snowflakes were HUGE and wet and didn't last long on the ground. The poster I had bought at the show got some damage from the melting snow, but it's a nice souvenir still. When my hair was damp from the snowfall I put it up for the night to keep, and in the morning it had lovely waves to cheer up my tired start of the day!

Here's my look from yesterday. I first did it with only Detrivore Cosmetics, but felt the darker brown was still too light, so I added some Doe-eyed on top and somehow messed the blending and had to fix it with q-tips. I also used a new blending brush, it's nice but I need some time to get used to it.

I used:
Detrivore Cosmetics Tarantula (on inner half of lids)
Detrivore Cosmetics Wraith (on whole lid and crease)
Concrete Minerals Doe-Eyed (to darken the outer crease)
Evil Shades China Doll blush (I think my blush brush wasn't clean, the colour looks too dark to be only China Doll)
Gosh lipstain 003 Berry

Bella Morte Look

Yesterday I went to a new goth club called Bella Morte, and it was excellent! The pub was nice and had a large dance floor, music was good, I met so many friends I don't think I even had time to talk to everyone and ate a delicious falafel meal at home after the event. I'm looking forward to the next Bella Morte, since the event was sold out on the first time it was ever held, it should do great! It's so nice to have new clubs, especially with such a good atmosphere!

Here's my makeup and outfit. I didn't remember to take a picture of my outfit with shoes on, but I wore the skeleton heels. I had been drooling over the dress for a long time, and finally caved in and bought it from eBay, I was happy that it arrived fast so I could wear it for the club.

For the makeup, I used:

Face

MAC Strobe liquid primer (only on the cheek bones on top of the foundation)

MAC Studio Sculpt foundation
MAC Select Cover-up 
Evil Shades Matte Silk powder

Evil Shades blush in Pink Noise

Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Glamour Doll Eyes Glam Girl
Concrete Minerals Sabotage
Sugarpill Tako
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Sugarpill Saint lashes

Lips
Max Factor Lasting Lip Tint in 06

My boyfriend did my hair, I think he did an awesome job :) 

Look at my hat! I didn't get a good picture of it, but it has a mink skull on it and I made it myself!

Dress - Spin Doctor

Corset - Artifice clothing

Hat - by me!

Earrings - Gina Tricot

Necklace - Bijou Brigitte

Darling Girl Look and Outfit of the Day

Today I did a smoky look with Darling Girl Cosmetics' Dark Heart. I had some issues blending the shadow, since it didn't want to stick to the skin coloured shadow I put underneath it, but it worked out fine in the end. The burgundy shift is really pretty! Next time I'll put the Dark Heart on with a damp brush to get the most out of it.

I used:
MAC foundation and concealer
Evil Shades powder Matte Silk
Darling Girl Cosmetics Dark Heart (on whole lid and crease)
Sugarpill Tako (on inner corners and brow bone)
Make-Up Store Vanilla (beneath the Dark Heart to help with blending)
Darling Girl Cosmetics blush She-bop
Max Factor lipstain Royal Plum

The earrings are from Ebay, they are my current favourites :)

And here's what I wore!

Bolero: Queen of Darkness

Shirt: Living Dead Souls (customized, I remade the neckline)

Skirt: Lip Service (second hand, bought this yesterday)

Shoes: New Rock
