Okay, last night went pretty well for the most part. Thankfully I already knew the girls working there so I didn't have to wait too long but the entire event was kind of lackluster. The "live music" was this really creepy man playing an acoustic guitar around the already cramp store. He would have been nice if he didn't sing to me while I was putting shit on my face. And I obviously couldn't drink so that was a downside in itself but anyway, lets get to the collection.

I've been so inspired by these three collections lately. I love the mix of gypsy witches, pseudo street goths, and dramatic ink silhouettes behind a contrast of an all white background this winter.
...Typical I know.
I've also become obsessed with matte flesh colored nail polish. I'm still trying different brands so I don't have a favorite yet. But so far I really like Illamasqua's Verbal with Matte-Astrophe by Manglaze as a top coat. If there's ever a random fact you need to know about me, it's that I hate anything shiny.

////MAC STYLE BLACK COLLECTION
On Thursday I made my way over to MAC for the launch of their style black collection. I have been eagerly waiting for this collection since I heard about it almost two months ago on Temptalia.com. I didn't try everything on, but what I did try on was interesting.
-The mineralized eyeshadows are nothing special by themselves, with some fix+ they show their potential by being intensely dark with a hint of glitter, but on top of the grease paint stick the shadows were just glitter. Not my favorite. I'd say for best results, spray your brush with fix+ first then apply.
-There was nothing special about the penultimate to me, just your run of the mill black liner.
-The grease paint, however, caught my attention. It leaves a shiny finish to the eyes by itself and it could also be used as a base.
-Smolder is just a typical waterproof black eyeliner. I didn't really need to try it on.
-Black Knight is this true black cream lipstick. Alone, it adds a sheen to the lips. This could also be used as a base to darken other colors as well.
-The Mattene lipsticks were my favorite. I didn't care for night violet because it was this plummy old lady kind of color that I hate. But Midnight Media is much more exciting. But maybe that's because I love anything matte? I would highly recommend lining your lips first because all of the lipsticks feather after some time.
-I only tried Blackware Glimmerglass because the other two weren't as special to me. Blackware has such a pigmentation to it (unlike the other black gloss rip offs like Kat Von D.)I'm not a huge fan of gloss (or anything shiny) but I really did like this one, and I'm not crazy about glimmerglasses either.
-The cream colour bases are just like what you'd expect. Creamy, and boring. You can find dupes of these everywhere. Or just use Urban Decay's Primer Potion.
-I didn't try the Volcanic Ash face products or the nail laquers because...well you can't. You would need to buy those in order to try them out.
So all in all I didn't fall in love with any of the products, but I wouldn't throw them out either.

////DOODLE FACE ASH/ DRAWN BY ME
I've been feeling so uninspired lately. Everything I've been looking at has been so mediocre its bumming me out. I have a closet full of clothes but I can't seem to put an outfit together to save my life. I actually dread when time comes to get dressed. I want to walk out of my house wearing a long tent and sunglasses. But alas, I don't have a tent nor do I have decent sunglasses for that matter.
I have some kind of _____'s block going on. I have everything block, actually. I feel so sloppy when I'm not focused or organized. Even this novel is annoying me because it's basically one huge run on sentence with no structure. And with that being said I'm finished. Maybe my ~juices~ will come back and I'll feel more inspired to post new things. I'm tired of posting the same shit over and over.

Mr. Louboutin, I can finally die happy knowing you now make men's shoes. Ever since your creations for Rodarte I became so jealous that only women were able to wear your shoes. But not anymore, time to start selling myself or maybe some drugs to afford you now.
