The Mystic's Kiss REMIX
I was determined to get that vampy dark purple...
To get that color I started with Fyrinnae Diabolic Masquerade (blackened red), added a drop of Fyrinnae Fan Service (lavender) then finished it off with L'oreal The Mystic's Kiss (berry).
A bit too much work for going out but nice none the less.

L'Oreal Project Runway The Mystic's Kiss Lipstick Review
In short, "MEH".
Yeah... not too impressed with this one. What looks like a deep purple lipstick is actually a dark hot pink on the lips. It's a nice raspberry, kind of sheer, but not at all what it looks like in the tube and not at all what I was expecting.
The formula is the standard L'Oreal lipstick, smooth and soft with a slight vanilla scent. I applies nicely and is creamy and moisturizing.
The Project Runway Collection is limited edition and includes eye shadows, nail polish, nail polish stickers/ covers/ whatever those appliques are called, lip gloss and lipstick and blush (i think). I purchased this lipstick at a mall CVS that had the entire collection available. I believe you can also purchase these at ULTA.

L'oreal The One Sweep Sculpting Blush Review
I bought this in "poppy", which is a rosey pink for the blush side. I'm just going to cut to the chase and say don't waste your money on this piece of crap. I knew going in that the novelty brush wasn't going to do anything special and didn't even plan on trying it. This blush is pure rubbish even with out the silly brush.
As you can see from the picture one side is blush and one side is for sculpting. Applying blush to the top of your cheeks and a darker pigment under the cheek bone really defines them and brings them out. This product is a bit gimmicky, it comes with a special (and stupid looking) brush that is supposed to apply both products at once with a single sweep across your cheeks. I knew that was not going to look good, I would either end up with unblended streaks or barely visible product.
Click here to see the ridiculous brush, it's like one of those annoying and useless flat brushes a lot of compacts are coming with these days only with a curve so it can ride the cheek bone. The brush is really small and it's soft and fluffy. It feels fine across the face but it really is useless. It doesn't pick up product and it's too flimsy.
The brush, however, is not the reason why this product is terrible. The reason this product sucks is there's pretty much no pigment! I don't have any of my own pictures to show you because there was nothing to take a picture of! NOTHING shows up on my skin. I used my own brushes to apply it to my face and to the back of my hand and there's just nothing... the product is very powdery and just blows away or falls off. Even if I could get it to stick it's really just so poorly pigmented I still don't think I'd have much to show. I've tried rubbing my finger on it and then trying to pat it on my hand over face primer and I still can't get anything.
I can't believe I paid around $10 for this crap! Since I lost the receipt I'm stuck with it too. I never expect much from drug store products and usually I'm not too disappointed by them. I guess I was expecting too much to actually be able to see this product on my skin. Reading other reviews I see I'm not the only one with nothing to photograph.
I will be reviewing a REALLY awesome blush in the next coming days to make up for this junk.

Old EOTDs
This EOTD is absolutely ancient! I think it must be from around 2006. The colors used are Fryrinnae OMGWTF in the inner corner then Makeup Enigma Starburst and finally Medusa's Makeup Purple Rain in the outer V.
This is from when I first started getting into eye makeup. I only owned one makeup brush (the small shadow brush from Medusa's Makeup) at the time and didn't have primer. I used a Hot Topic brand paint pot and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Gotta say, those Hot Topic paint pots worked wonders, I got no creasing when used with PE.
Brows are courtesy of Bare Minerals Coffee Bean.
Primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance with Pixie Epoxy on top.
This is more recent, from last year I believe. If I remember correctly Hi-Fi Cosmetics Super Sonic Overdrive is the liner, applied wet. The Lid color is Hi-Fi Live Large with Medusa's Jail Bait lightly dusted on top. Purple is Medusa's Purple Rain (one of my favorite shadows).
Fyrinnae Javan Rhino and a Mary Kay Grey
Same look with pink, Medusa's Jail Bait if I remember correctly.
This is a look I wore almost daily in 2008. Barry M Cherry Red cut crease with Medusa's Purple Rain.
The Blue in this is Medusa's Blue Balls. The other color I'm not sure about because it's a mix. I think I used a L'oreal HiP duo-Platinum 906 (both the black and silver) with Purple Rain.
Fyrinnae Koala in the inner corner, Fyrinnae Parental Advisory in the outer V. Parental Advisory is gorgeous, I wish I had gotten a full size instead of a mini. I will CRY when I run out!
This gradient look was done with pink, purple and black. Aromaleigh Sonic Rocks eyeshadow in Teenage Kicks is the pink in this look. The purple is... you guessed it, Purple Rain. The black is from the L'oreal HiP duo.
This was done as a guest look for Le Gothique. A purple smokey eye. The liner is Wet and Wild gel liner.
