The Strangers Series: DollFace

DOLLFACE MAKEUP LOOK

Hello Ladies And Gents, 

Here Again With Another Character Of My "The Stranger Series" That I Had Going On! 

Unfortunately I Had To Make Do With What I Had To Achieve The Look. . .So If It Doesn't Look Identical, Don't Blame Me. . .Blame My Lack Of Moneys! xD

Anywho, DollFace Has Been My Favorite Masked Gal (Besides Pin Up) Since The Day I Found Out They Had Her In My Existence! :3

The Products I Used:

Black/White Cake Paint

Brown/Black/Red Pencil Liners

Red Lipstick

Black Liquid Liner For Minor Detailing

Ivory/White Foundation

Translucent Loose Powder

Orange/Red Eyeshadow

I Attempted The "Anime Eyes" That Everyone Seems To Know And Love With This Look! 

It Was Tricky Seeing How The Thing I Was Recreating Was In Fact A Mask. . .I Had To Make My Own Face Look Somewhat Similar To It By Drawing On The Mask and Having It Look Like Its Popping Up From My Own Skin! 

(^^As Shown^^)

This Was Not Something I Normally do. . .Seeing How Its Not Much Of A Makeup Look, But More Something You Would Attempt For Halloween/Theater or The Likes! (Plus The DollFace Character Doesn't Wear A lot Of Makeup For My Liking, But Nonetheless It Was FUN!!!)

(Here Is Another Shot Of My Face)

(Hello? Is Tamara Home??)

(Shhhh. . .)

Hehehe <3

And Here Is A Animated GIF:

Pixi Cosmetics Review

Hello Boils and Ghouls, 

I Have A Review For Ya Today! 

I Recieved This Prize From Winning A Giveaway Via Youtube!

(((FTC-I am NOT Being Paid For This Review, Nor Am I Being Paid For Mentioning Any Said Companies In This Post. . .I Won A Giveaway and Decided To Give My Opinion Out To Those Who Wish To Read! So Please Don't Sue Me)))

And What I Won Is The Following:

That's Right, I Won A Complete Pixi Essentials Kit!

It Comes With:

-Pixi Eye Brighter Mini Primer

-Pixi Flawless & Poreless Deluxe Mini Face Primer

-Pixi Endless & Silky Mini Eye Pen In Black Noir

-Pixi Full-Sized Fairy Light Solo Eyeshadow In Champagne Glow

-A Mini Gold Clutch Purse

I Was So Excited To Have Seen This Lovely Box Sitting On My Front Steps!

It Said, "Open Me, Open Me!" and I Did Just That! :3 haha

Inside Were The Following, In More Detail:

A Golden Clutch!!!

The Design On The Inside as well as the out is amazing! Its a very easy-to-match-with-anything sort of color and can also be used for a great deal of other things, as well as a storage unit for your goodies!

Clutch: 5/5

Here Is The Fabric/Design On The Inside! 

Again I Say It Is Beautiful!!!

Some Really Gore-Gous Eyeshadow!!! 

I Know Its Nothing Mega, Super Dark But I Do Rock The Oddly Normal Look Sometimes. . .Of Course With A Bit Of My Insanity Mixed With it! ;D haha

But What I Do Have To Say About It Negatively Would Be How It Isn't As Pigmented As It Claims Itself Of Being! 

"Champagne Glow" as it was SUPPOSED To Come Off As. . .A Sort Of  Golden Brown, With The Slightest Hint Of A Pale Pink Shimmer. . .Instead Came Off Onto My Skin As A VERY VERY Sheer and Pale-ish Brown With A White Shimmer! 

Perhaps its due to my own weird skin tone, but I was very disappointed! 

(Since everything else seems to live up to what it claims, this just didn't do it for me)

But even though I don't Like It As Much (Don't Get Me Wrong, I Will Try To Use It As Best As I Can. . .I Cant Really Complain, Seeing How It Was Nearly Given To Me For Free!) That Doesn't Mean It Wouldn't Look Good On Anyone Else. . .Everyone Has A Different Skin Tone and Thus Meaning It WILL Look Different On EVERYONE!!! 

I Am Absolutely In Love With The Little Fairy Detail On The Shadow Though! :3

Eyeshadow: 3/5

Another Shot Of The Eyeshadow!

(I Will Be Doing A Makeup Look With ONLY These Products Soon, So Stay Tuned)

The Flawless & Poreless Face Primer Mini! 

I Have Used This Today, and I Must Say. . .I am In LOVE!!! <3

It Goes On Smooth, Almost As If You Put On NOTHING At All! 

And When You Apply Your Foundation Your Pores Have Magically VANISHED!!! 

My Skin Was Evened Out Beautifully And What Makes This Little Face Primer Amazing Is The Ability To "Shrink Pores" As It Claims On The Website!!!

It Just Leaves You With A Amazingly Flawless Face!!! 

Face Primer: 5/5

Another Shot of The Face Primer!

An Eye Bright Primer Mini! 

<3

This Is Supposed To Be Used As A Way To Help Conceal Undereye Circles And Give Your Tired Eyes A Sort Of "POP" When Your On The Go!!! 

But As What I Have Seen From Experimentation Myself. . .It Can Easily Substitute for a Eye Shadow Primer As Well! It Is THAT Amazing!!! I Was Applying Green Shadow To My Lids For My Makeup Of Teh Day Today. . .And I Was Surprised At How Pigmented It Made My Cheap Drugstore Brand Of Shadow Look On My Eyes. . .As A Eye Shadow Primer, This Is By Far So Much More Better Than Any Primer I Have EVER Used. . .Both ELF and URBAN DECAY Have NOTHING On This Little Guy! 

As For A Eye Brighter. . .It Is AMAZING AS WELL!!! :3

Eye Bright Primer: 5/5

Another Shot!!! 

I Love You, Ya Awesome Eye Bright Primer! :3 

A Very Pigmented Black Liner! <3 Me So In Love With You Black Eyeliner! :3

It Glides On Like Liquid Eyeliner. . .Very Smooth And Pigmented. . .this is by far my FAVORITE. . .I have Tried Almost EVERY Sort Of Black Eyeliner Alive. . .From ELF Liner To NYX Eyeliner Even Too MAC and This, By Far, Takes The Damn Cake!!!!

The Japanese Garden

Hello Ladies and Gents, 

I wanted to write about one of my favorite places to go to when I am alone and just wanting to ease the tension of the day-ta-day life.

THE JAPANESE GARDEN!!!

There is nothing more beautiful and more peaceful than the Japanese garden.
Found in the midst of Mickey Grove Regional Park in Lodi! 

This beautiful Japanese Garden had its beginnings in 1959 

through the guidance of “Duke” Yoshimura.

The garden is surrounded by 60 Kwanzan flowering cherry trees 

with five Akibono flowering cherry trees in the central area of the garden.

Three religions have an influence in the garden. 

Shintoism is expressed in the use of stones, Buddhism is visible in the use of lanterns and Taoism is manifested in the islands.

There are 11 lanterns in the garden, 

all being stone except for one which is concrete. 

The five-story pagoda lantern situated on the north hill was donated by Lodi’s sister city; Kofu, Japan. 

Each story is representative of fire, water, earth, air and atmosphere. 

The long rod on the top has nine rings and has a kinship to Buddha.

The flame-shaped tip denotes protection against fire.

Koi fish in the pond have been known to live for 200 years. 

The fish, with ring markings on its scales designating age, can grow to three feet in length. 

Colors range from red, blue, white, brown, black and yellow.

The garden’s angle bridge represents Chinese belief that evil spirits travel in a low straight line, therefore unable to follow across this bridge. 

The red arch bridge, meanwhile, is of typical Japanese design and includes eight bronze lotus flower bud finials.

The large building in the garden is a pavilion designed by Hoji Wada of Stockton, 

who also designed the garden’s entrance gate. 

It provides a beautiful backdrop for outdoor weddings, 

which are popular in the garden.

Here are some of my personal images from the garden!
