New Way To Classify Palette

Just a little note: Since my main palette that I use is usually the coastal scents one, I've decided to try and find a better way of classifying the colours that I use, instead of just saying if it's the matte, shimmer, or metallic palette.
So I made these 3 little charts with letters and numbers, to help me show which colour I used:

Matte


Metallic 

Shimmer


I will mos def try and include a chart when I post a look of the day

Zombie Makeup

More makeup from the past! haha This was really my first time doing any zombie makeup, and I really want to do more soon :) And now that the weather is getting cooler, hopefully I'll be able to crank more creepy, gross makeup out :D haha sitting in front of a hot light and not having a fan or AC to keep cool is quite an uncomfortable experience, plus everything starts to melt with the heat, humidity, and sweat haha








**and on a side note, no, I did not edit my eyes to look like that. That's me rolling my eyes in the back of my head.
...Hurts like hell! haha

e.l.f.Makeup Mist and Set: First Use Impression


So, a quick update on the e.l.f.Makeup Mist and Set.
So today before I went to work, I put on all my makeup and sprayed my face with the mist. I was working a truck shipment, so I was in the back, movin' around quite a bit (and it's pretty warm back there).  When I got home, I noticed that my makeup was still pretty fresh. So maybe it works, but I'll just have to keep using it to see :)
I also noticed that there was less makeup on my phone screen when I pulled it away from my face (usually there's a thin layer of powder but this time, there wasn't).
But so far, it seems like three dollars well spent.

E.L.F. Cosmetics "Almost Haul"


Yesterday I was out with one of my girlfriends, and I ended up spoiling myself a bit with some e.l.f. cosmetics (more stores need to sell e.l.f.!).

I only bought 4 things, but for me, that's quite a bit haha I usually collect some makeup over time.

Anywhoozers, I bought 3 lip products (all for $1). Two of them I really loved. First one was the Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Baby Lips 2111 and the other was Minty Lip Gloss in 82422 Nashville. There's not too much to them. Baby Lips gives my lips just a hint of pink, which I prefer, instead of a full-blown pink (further down, you'll notice that I try to keep a lot of pink off my skin haha). It comes in the little twisty-clickly pens, and the application is a bit of a bigger doe foot applicator then what I'm used to (though I do like it). The product glides on pretty smooth and isn't sticky.
Nashville is more sheer but gives my lips a more peachy look. I think the scent is strong, but I LOVE the smell of mint, so I'm not complaining haha No complaints really about it. It looks like it might have some micro gold gliter, though only a tiny bit, and I don't notice any sort of grittyness when I put it on.
Overall, I really, really like both of these.

But then I also got a lipstick (I've been on the hunt for a pretty natural lipstick colour) and picked up the e.l.f. Lipstick in 7702 Classy. I didn't really like it. I was hoping the colour would be more of a peachy colour, but it came out more pink, and was sort of difficult to apply. My friend that I went with tried it on, and she seemed to have some trouble at first applying it. It came out more of her own lip colour and I gave it to her, since I'd never wear it. I don't really have much to say on it haha

A side note: I noticed that the Luscious Lquid Lipstick and the Lipstick both have the same description on the back, but the liquid lipstick says  to use the Therapeutic Lip Blam prior to use for best results.


The fourth thing I sort of bought on whim (for $3? Why not...).
It's the e.l.f. Makeup Mist and Set.
I've heard of makeup setters before, but never really looked into them. I've also heard of using hairspray, but just never really used it haha Though I can see the science in it! My skin can get really pink and I personally think I have a sort of ruddy complexion, so I like it when my skin has an even complexion. Now that summer is over and it's getting older, I want to break out with using more heavy makeup, and I want to wear my lipsticks again (my blacks, my reds, my purples). I want my skin to keep a more even, pale colour when I wear those. (On a side note, I think I might make a post soon about black lipstick, since I usually get a bunch of questions on them.)

I started looking up what people had to say about it after I bought it and the main complaint seems to be the smell.
I first used it in my car (and had a guy in the next car over staring at me like I was freak haha boys just don't get it!) and wasn't struck by any sort of smell. I even opened the bottle to smell directly from the product, and it barely smells like anything (I guess I can compare it to old bottled water?).  I can't compare this to anything, seeing as I've never used a setting spray before. I've read that some people got it to try and set their eye makeup. I'm using it strictly to try and keep my foundation and concealer in place.

When I first used it, I was following my friend to a store and when we got out of our cars, the first thing I said was "Does my makeup look different?" She said "It looks better, I think...?" haha So I'm going to have to see if I notice any sort of difference in the next few days. It has a lot of moisturizers in my skin, so at least if it doesn't keep my makeup on, maybe it'll make my skin softer? haha we will see :) Right off the bat though, I noticed I need to spray it from a distance, otherwise the spray will come out heavy and thick and drippy.

Bit of an update...


Long time no talk, huh? :)
Well, Halloween is over, so hopefully I'll be able to get some pretty cheap Halloween stuff (and more latex since last night I spilt half a bottle on my carpet D: I was able to cut and peel a lot of it out, but I still have white spots...oh well........I'm an artist...........it's decoration now!). I wanted to do so many makeup looks, but now I have a job (yay! :D) and school, so I don't really have time to sit down and play with makeup as much as I used to (though hopefully soon I will be able to). I know Halloween is over, but I'm going to keep posting old looks I've done. A lot of these looks are from my other blog that I never update anymore, so it's sort of like I'm moving into SassyCatMakeup haha I bought some more prosthetic pieces the other day, so hopefully I will get to play with those in the next week or so :3 Am I the only one that feels like Halloween just kinda passed over? Everyone's super jazzed about Christmas, it seems D: It's okay Halloween AND Thanksgiving. I'll remember you haha
This might be silly, but I want to thank everyone that has looked at my blog so far. I know I only have 3 followers so far (and thank you for following me~♥), but the fact that people are looking at what I've done means so much to me!
I saw that 3,101 people have checked out my Sugar Skull makeup look. MY GOODNESS♥♥♥
Thank you all :)
Hopefully I will be able to update things more.
Much love!
