Incursion PLUS Extra News

This past weekend was a busy one for me! The club night Incursion finally happened, it went really well! Incursion was a costume party with a military theme, everyone looked great.

I have an online friend, Lana, who flew over with her boyfriend to attend and DJ at Incursion. It was a birthday present for her boyfriend, but they've also never been to Perth. I took the day off Friday to show them around a bit, I took them to Fremantle which I hoped they liked.
On Saturday, we all helped set up the club. Putting up posters and making sure everything looked nice.

Here's what I looked like on Saturday night for Incursion!

Nosechain!

 

I don't really own anything military themed. I had this military shirt laying around, it had gold buttons so I painted with nailpolish to make them black.

Top: New Look

Corset: Minx Corsetry

Skirt: Yours Clothing

Winklepicker boots: Demonia

 

Here's what my Sydney friend Lana wore! She looked very nice, and spend a lot of time on her costume.

She had a lot of Nazi imagery, but I hope my readers can understand that she's not a Nazi and it was just a costume.

 

There was ANNOYING DRAMA caused by people taking offence at some Nazi costumes. The people who complained are known trolls/people who cause trouble. They singled out one of my friends and have started bullying her online. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I have a lot to say about this subject, but I really don't want to write on my blog about that.

 

Here we are together in a very blurry photo :)

 

My best friend Merissa DJing.

 

Me and my friend Jane. She looked so CUTE!!

I hope that my Sydney friend, Lana, enjoyed her stay. I loved meeting her and showing her around Perth. She is really generous and kind, and I can't wait to see her again.

EXTRA NEWS:
My best friend has left Perth :(
Merissa has been planning to move over to the UK for a few months now. Tuesday morning she was flying out, so on Monday night a few of us stayed up all night to be with her. We took her to the airport and said goodbye to her. I cried!! :(
I'm going to miss her so much! I don't know what I'll do without her :(

Loft Outfit, 6th May 2012

What I wore:

Cotton biker jacker: Deranged Designs

Shirt: Seibei

Skirt: Big W

Tights: Kmart

Winklepickers: Demonia

I've always wanted a biker jacket, but sadly I don't suit leather. I just look so much larger when I wear a leather jacket. I was so happy when I found a cotton version on Angry, Young & Poor. They didn't have the size XL in stock, so I bought it from Deranged Designs instead ($70). I was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit me, when it arrived I was so glad that it fit like my other cotton jacket :)

The next step is for me to sew my patches on it, and I really want to stud it too. I just have to figure out where to put the studs :)

I'm wearing my amazing "I'm Fat Let's Party" shirt from Seibei. The only thing I dislike about this shirt is the yellow writing, but it could be worse.

Blue lip balm from Morgana Cryptoria

Morgana Cryptoria Lip Balm Review

I first became aware of Morgana Crytoria from the blog of Sophistique Noir (who is one of the most beautiful women I've seen. Her blog is great!)

I took a look at the Morgana Crytoria website and fell in love with some of the colours. I spent around $50 for 7 lip balms. They took around a month or so to arrive (due to Australia being on the other side of the world to America) and I got them before Christmas. It's so hard to find unusual lip colours for such a good price. Not to mention that they are made by Morgana herself and are vegan.

The lip balms come in a regular lip balm tube. This means it's really hard to apply evenly, and I find it a bit hard when I don't have lip liner to guide me. I used a lip brush to have better control over where I put the colour on my lips.

The colours all have a level of shine/sparkle to them. This really helps to make the colour pop, especially with metallic type of colours.

Here are the colours I bought. Test on my forearm. Colours left to right are: Spellcaster, Vampire's Vineyard, Eggplant, Sapphire Smile, Hemlock, Starburst, Hathor

Starbust: It's a dark blue/grey with sparkle throughout.

Eggplant: I thought it was a very flapper type of colour, making my skin look paler. I guess mauve describes the colour best. 

Sapphire Smile: A metallic blue, I was most excited about this colour. 

Spellcaster: I was the most disappointed with this as I didn't expect it to be so sheer. It gives your lips a nice light purple sheen.

Vampire's Vineyard: I think it's a cross between plum and red/pink. Looks really brilliant on me.

Hathor: A solid purple! I bought this solely because of Sophistique Noir.

Hemlock: A really dark green/grey with green highlights.

Pros: The colours are true to the website. If you combine the lip balm with Lipcote then it lasts for ages! Lots of different colours to choose from.

Cons: I guess maybe the price. I mean, it's not that bad but I did just spend $50 on lip balms which is more than I've spend on any lip product. It was a bit of a gamble too, because I didn't know what the colours looked like in real life and if they would suit me. You can get samples sent to you for a price.

Overall, I highly recommend Morgana Crytoria as a great source for strange coloured lip products.

I've even sent a new order off for some lipstick! :)

Le Professeur Gothique's Monthly Homework Assignment: Ice and Frost and Snow, oh my!

Another month and another assignment from Le Professeur Gothique. This month is to find inspiration in snow and ice, and to produce something creative. I chose to use makeup as my medium. Club Unknown had a club night yesterday, so I was able to do some awesome makeup! I was also the door girl for the night so my makeup didn't run off with sweat (but I didn't get to dance, sad)

I found this assignment a bit hard to think of as the weather around here is far from cool. Perth is never really cold, and it has never snowed (I'm pretty sure it's never even snowed in my state. Maybe over east near Sydney though)

Anyway, I used my new lip balm from Morgana Cryptoria which I added Lipcoate to make it last all night.

I used limecrime eyeshadow base and generic eyeshadow. I have a 120 eyeshadow palette I got from ebay.

I used Rimmel liquid eyeliner, and glued gems to my face with eyelash glue. I added white eyeliner to contrast the blue.
