Fumiko, Sushi and Kai, oh my!

Random photo post. Also the backlight on the laptop is dead. :( I currently have my desktop monitor hooked up to the laptop so I can use it. *le sigh* It’s an old laptop. It’s at least 5 years old. I’ve been expecting this with the way the monitor has been acting but still. Oof. On the bright side, I can see colors correctly now. Tomorrow is payday and I must be good for we have to rent a carpet cleaner, get some paint, and I have to get papers notarized and sent off to David[1. Sascha's dad.]. And of course we have to pay bills.

Also I’m doing eyeball shots for Andrea of My Pretty Zombie so you should go see! Also for those of you[2. I can't for the life of me remember who it was who asked me about it. But either way it's good info for everyone!] who were concerned with her not listing ingredients in her listings she has been listing the full ingredient list in new listings and will be in the process of going back through older listings to add them. :D Now onto the pictures.

BEHOLD, my bed hair. It’s hot isn’t it. I’m doing eye shots for My Pretty Zombie. So I decided to just do two different colored eyes instead of wiping makeup off and putting on a different color. XD This may be a theme for awhile until I get them all done.

Hey look, another poll! And giveaway info!

So the top 5 companies from the last poll are:

Morgana Cryptoria (52%, 22 Votes)
Shiro Cosmetics (50%, 21 Votes)
High Voltage Cosmetics (43%, 18 Votes)
Darling Girl Cosmetics (36%, 15 Votes)
Venomous Cosmetics (29%, 12 Votes)

So now we have a new poll! All 5 companies offer both lip products and shadows. Some of you have commented that you’d love to see more lip items since most indie giveaways are just shadows. So what do you want to see? I’ll definitely be purchasing some lipstick from Morgana, but the outcome of the poll depends on who else I’ll be buying from. :D This will be for the giveaway for 100 GFC followers. Also to note if any of the awesome sauce indie companies would like to donate a little something for the giveaway that would be awesome! Black Rose Minerals is going to be donating a sample pack for it and I’m going to be purchasing a couple of shadows from her as well. If you’re interested in donating anything feel free to email me at toxidlotus@gmail.com. Thank you!

Do you want lippies, eyeshadow or both?

Hello Kitty Sugar Skull & Zombie

So I’ve been wanting tattoos for ages, but haven’t had the chance to get anything for one reason or another. I’ve had what I want picked out since I was little, oddly enough. I’ve always wanted plain black stars on the inside of both wrists, and 3/4 sleeves that are nothing but various lotus blossoms. More recent tattoos were wanting “love as thou wilt” across my chest with lotus blossoms on both sides near my collarbone. Kudos if you know what it’s from. :D I’ve also wanted a hello kitty tattoo, just her face. As you can see it doesn’t really fit the motif I have going. haha

So today I randomly thought “hey I could get her face on my wrist instead of stars… but I don’t want to put two faces on my wrists”. So my solution? ZOMBIE hello kitty face and normal face. So I started looking online. There are lots of hello kitty zombie things, but none that I really liked, then I found this . Oh Hai. I fell in love. I seriously contemplated saving it so I could print it out when ready and take it in and say “please for the love of god put this on my body”. But then I felt a little weird. So I decided to try to do my own, and I did, and I love it. While further browsing though, I found this. Which is also super awesome. So I made my own hello kitty sugar skull head too. Sadly I don’t have illustrator, so it’s mostly pasted things from various sugar skull prints that were awesome.


So I definitely want both of these. They won’t be my first tattoo, but I will get them. I think the stars will be first, to see if my body will do okay with tattoos, then “love as thou wilt” and then we’ll see. Anyways I just wanted to share with you what I made and what I kind of, sort of stole. :confused:
