Monthly theme post: Black and white

www.sophistiquenoir.com

God!!! Finally I have the time to do an entry of this month's theme.  I've been so busy with classes and didn't get the chance to do any photoshoot for this post.  So here's some black and white photos of goths in veils that I believe it looks nice and the simple black veil would still pull out the dark aesthetics even if you're not using any dark makeup.  

*Also photoshop does help*

Besides that, I did a head veil tutorial of still looking goth even if you hide your hair.  Note that, no intentions of sensitive perceptions etc. are involved in this tutorial.  It's just a sharing of fashion and style for you lovely ladies out there..

My simple Goth make-up tutorial *bare face reveal*

This month's theme is make-up

Yes anybody can join this entry, just click on the link above and respond to Miss Kitty's website to join :D

This is a newer photo of me since this entry is kinda back dated a bit hehe.   I used the same tutorial but I just add more thick lines and shadows on my eyes.

*Summons all the creatures of darkness*

Good day guys!!!  

Today I will post on how I do my simple and natural-like Goth make up tutorial.

And here's my imperfect bare face;

*if you look closely you'll see some acne, acne scars, black head, and eyebags*

|Please don't zoom in T_T|

This is me, if I had a sudden sex change haha lol!

Also my original eye color is actually brown, not grey..  I use grey contacts because I'm literally blind and I like the weird grey looking eye.  Fierce!!!

So let's get started ladies!!

1) I apply the Sephora clear gel primer to the whole face, especially my nose and chin area..  They also have the natural colors type but I prefer this one because I like my pale skin tone..

 2) Apply the Kryolan supra color foundation.  I bought this one a long time ago from a friend (that's why it's in a different jar). 

*Omg! ze eyebaaaaags*

 3) Then I brush on with the mineral compact powder from Sephora.

 4) Once done with the face, I continue darkening my eyes.  This is my very old (and legendary) black and white eye shadow palette from Silky Girl.  I just shwish and swosh the black pigment from the crease then lightly blend it inwards but concentrate more on the crease part.  Darker crease will create the heavy eye illusion.

Then I dab and swipe the white eye shadow from the inner corner towards the outer corner and blend them in the middle.  The contrasting dark crease and light inner corner will make your eyes looking more dramatic.

p/s: if you're wondering about the nails, check out my review here

5) After that I add a thick line on my upper lid with the dark brown eyeliner from In2it and smudge it a bit.  I also add a fine line on my lower eyelid to enhance my eyes 

*like it's not huge enough -.-*

6) Now you can see my eyes appear darker with the brown line, so I enhance more with a brown ArtDeco shadow.  

7) And lastly, apply the darkest lipstick you can find.  This is Spiced Cocoa from Estee Lauder, the best color ever but I hate it when it look dark if you are face to face with me but in camera it's quite light.  

And you're done.

BOOM!!!

May the Goths be ever in your favour

Monthly Theme Post: Sweaters

Yay!!!  Finally another monthly theme entry!!!  I missed the previous one so here I am gonna talk about sweaters..  Since my county is always hot, so sweaters are not that important when we go out unless in a full blast air conditioned building which is al kinda rare because most of the shopping malls here are adapting to energy saving mode so basically still hot in there.. --''

But of course I need some right because I might be flying to the cold countries or weird shit happens and it starts snowing in here *urrgh freaky*

So, here are my sweaters...

Woolen cardi-sweater

Skull hoodie sweater

My most fav sweater mini dress

Thin sweater mini dress

Casual hoodie sweater (worn the most)

Sweater vest mini dress

My 2nd Red & Black Week: A Tragic Romance of a Pie and how a pie monster would eat it

Hey guys

Welcome back to my blog.  For today I would like to share another sweet treats with dark red and black chocolate roses..

Looks like a cake...

But it's not cake..

It's non-bake lime pie!!!! 

Yay!!!!

I wish this is what my wedding cake will look like =.=

Again, I managed to vlog about this recipe I got from Laura Vitale's website but I did substitute some ingredients of the pie that she made..

before that, here's where I get the recipe;

http://www.laurainthekitchen.com/all/episode.php?episodenumber=58

 I cannot find Graham cookies, lime pie and freeze whip topping so I substitute with Marie biscuits, big lime, and whip cream..

Check out my video of how I made the pie :D

I recommend that you cut down the amount of the sweetened condense milk, because I put mine too much and it was freaking sweet that I felt I should hit my head to the wall..  Ok that was dramatic, but seriously cut down the sweetness..

hmm maybe because I don't like anything that is too sweet...

I put some silver edible pearls, just to make it more romantic..hehe

How the roses turned out to be like...

The yummy crust!!!

Finally, how should I eat it??

Like a horrific zombie of course!!!!!

Pie Monstaaaaahhh!!!!!

Feel free to try it and have a nice day <3 nbsp="">

My 2nd Red & Black Week: Can failure turned cake-pops into fudge?

Hi everyone!!! I'm back for this year's Red&Black Week.. Just for information for new readers of my blog, this week theme was created by the goth fashionista, Miss Kitty of Sophistique Noir and the participants just have to create as many entries as they can for the whole week with anything red and black..

The most important thing is to have FUN!

For last year, I did 2 self-shoot fashion model wannabe thingy with my mostly black and mostly red-ish maroon outfits and the following entry, I think I posted out about my jeweleries..

My last year's entries:

http://vamp-in-da-house.blogspot.com/search/label/annual%20red%20black%20week

For this year I was thinking why don't I make something different and fattening..HAHA! 

 Then I came up with a few ideas and plans to make something that can be considered Red and Black, Zombie-ish, excessive usage of white chocolate, and something delish that probably will give out some ideas for Halloween..

Therefore, for the first day of participation I shall make you guys crave for chocolates like zombies running for braaaaaaaiiiinnnnssss!!!! Muahahaha!

if it's not redish-maroon enough, believe me the food dye really have a talent of making dissapointment :(

Honestly, these Zombified mini cake fudge didn't came into my mind until some epic fail happened while I was dipping my suppose-to be-cakepops in the melted chocolate (it was the saddest 5 seconds of my life T_T)..  My cakepops tend to break off from its stick so I've decided to turn the pops into these mini cakes and I randomly piped the melted white chocolate dyed in maroon to make them looked like squished bloody brains..  

There were lots of technical errors while doing this but I was happy with the outcome because I was so glad that most of friends and families who tried these had a good time..  Well, I can bet that nothing will taste good enough until you put Nutella in it -.-'' haha!

Now it's vlog time!  I managed to vlog the process of making these treats but I edited out the fail part, sorry no bloopers :(

My head was like ''ok think of something!!!'', so decided that;

with sticks = cakeops

no stick = mini cakes that look like fudge 

*sometimes cheater wins*

and I hope you guys enjoy my video :D

If you have any questions regarding the recipe, feel free to ask me :D

Have a nice day
