My Kombat Face

In the spirit of October and getting the blog back up and a runnin', I'm taking on a weekly theme for this whole month! This week I will be doing a Mortal Kombat themed looks every day this week. Unfortunately, I am not very good at taking pictures of makeup cause I'm not good at lighting and all, but I'll do my best!

Anywho, I've been following the Mortal Kombat Legacy (will be doing review) live action series that have been airing on Youtube. They are very well done and stay fairly true to the series, which pleases me. I wish they would do an updated version of the Mortal Kombat movie(s), but this Live Action does an equally impressive job. I can't complain too much.

((Larger version here.))

Today, Monday, October 3rd, I did Sub-Zero, who is my favorite Mortal Kombat character! I used mostly drugstore makeup in doing so. I used the Greed and Pride palettes from Wet N Wild and Teen Angel from Heavenly Naturals for this look. The eyeliner was Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Zero, of course, and I used my E.L.F mascara because I am running so low on mascara! By the way, I use masking tape to get my lines like that!

The line-up of looks will go as follows:

Monday: SubZero

Tuesday: Scorpion

Wednesday: Kitana

Thursday: Smoke

Friday: Skarlet (from the new Mortal Kombat game)

When I finish them all, I will put them together in an image and do a feature on them! Also, I'm surprised that I didn't do any characters with purple in them XD it is my favorite color, after all! And strangely enough, it's a thematic Mortal Kombat color, right?!

Anywho, that's it from me! Peace, love and prosperity ya'll!

New year, new goals... hopefully.

It's been awhile, but the blog has finally got a little bit of a layout overhaul. The banner was an overdrawn process because of laziness and not knowing what the hell to draw. I think I finally nailed it, and it adequately describes how this blog is a pile of things that don't make sense but are totally cool, bro.

Hopefully we'll start blogging here a little bit more, and getting ourselves into craftier excursions. But for now, we'll stick with the usual. Makeup. :P


I have no idea why that nail polish is there, lol. I think I bought it at the same time and decided to group it in so it wouldn't feel lonely.

Aromaleigh Haul/Review

Before Aromaleigh closed, they had a really awesome sale. All of their products were set at cheaper prices, provided they had them in stock, in anticipation of their closing. I honestly wish I had ordered more products from them before learning of their closing, but I managed to order three beautiful colors and I must say, I am in love!

I realized when I got my order that I ordered all pinks. I must have been in pink mode or something. XD But, I ordered two colors from their Les Papillon collection and a basic matte pink pigment.The color payoff on these are amazing and the shimmer in the Papillon colection isn't overwhelming. They blend very nicely, too, even the matte pink. They don't feel heavy or gritty and the fallout was minimal so long as you don't load up your brush.
You can see the colors in the image above, my favorite being dormant dream. I've worn my pigments since ordering them and the three of the colors blend so well and look beautiful. I plan to do a look tomorrow (Sept. 15th), so look forward to that! Expect swatches when I get a better camera, too!

Aromaleigh will be greatly missed. Goodbye, Aromaleigh!

Makeup Storage & Organization

I never did get around to a Let's Play last week, and I do apologize for that, but family life has been a little... insane. I'll try to get one done this week, especially because I do have a lot of crap to post.

A few weeks ago I realized I was quickly outgrowing my little makeup set-up, and with mom in tow took a trip to the Container Store to see what I could do about expanding my storage. I'm pretty pleased with what I have going on now, so I decided to take some pictures while I sorted everything. Forgive the flash in some of the photos, it was nighttime by the time we got home and I didn't want to wait to set everything up :3 I hope this helps others looking to organize their makeup!

Let's Play!: Nautical Nymph

Remember when I asked for ideas for a weekly segment of my own? Here it is! I'm a fan of watching "Let's Play!" videos on Youtube, which if you don't know, are videos of people playing video games from start to finish. I always liked how those two words sounded and they fit with this segment pretty well. Basically, I'm just going to be playing with my make-up c:

These aren't normal wearable looks, mind you. I do those from time to time (I have a few regular ones coming up, I promise!) The whole purpose of this segment is for me to play around with wild colors and use my face as a blank canvas -- not just my eyes.

Exploring Beauty: Session 3 1/2

Welcome once again to this week's Exploring Beauty! The topic originally scheduled for this week has been postponed to next week, but it's going to be all good! We'll have a good time and we're going to explore some beauty!

Just for a little change of pace, I'd like to turn this week's blog over to the readers. Firstly, I'd like to thank the people who have left comments here and on facebook regarding Pixels and Pigments. Your feedback and support of our blog is just awesome! The reading responses on the first session of Exploring Beauty was so appreciated and we look forward to more of our reader's opinions and feedback.

So, what is it that I want from our readers this week?

I want to know what you think is beautiful. From the very big, to the very small. What do you see as beautiful? What other topics would you like to see this blog explore? Make suggestions for future segments, not just concerning Exploring Beauty, but anything that you'd like to see! What other things would you like information on? Our readers are very important to us, so we're always very eager for feed back!

Thanks guys!

Aromaleigh review/haul

I haven't posted in a hot second, so here we go. I have a crapton of hauls and reviews to do, so I'm hoping to get back on board and post a few of these at least these week. Before I get started with the haul, I want to pose a question. I've been pondering the idea of doing my own weekly segment, but I have no idea on what. Rants? Raves? Movie of the week? Underground or Old School video game of the week? Best places to download porn? So many topics :P I'd like some feedback on what kind of weekly segment you'd like to see from me.

And now to the haul.
