Hello ladies and gents, 

Today I will be reviewing all 5 of my lovely Color Club Nail Polishes

courtesy of Prismpop & Color Club in my Prismpop Tester Bag. 

Before I get to the swatching, I want to first say how thankful I am for this opportunity to test and review these!

I am HUGE on nail art, I absolutely love the creative aspect of it. I love the subtle AND I love the dramatic. I simply love it all. These will be going straight into my collection and into the creation of some future nails for myself to wear and display. Every little bit will be used, I promise ya! hahaa

First thing I noticed was the bag all my polishes shipped in. I'm pretty rightly obsessed with anything and everything Holographic (or color shifting, etc!) So, when I seen the bag glimmering at me--I knew, right then and there, that I was probably (most definitely!) going to be using mine as a clutch purse for my everyday wear! hahahaa

Packaging secured and nothing broke during transit. Can't stress enough the importance of not having a nail polish bottle bust open all over the place. lmfao

Now that the packaging is out of the way, let's get into the showcase and review.

I hope you guys and gals are as excited as I am!!!

Adoring FanGIRL & Lucien Lachance | Oblivion Themed Makeup Looks

Hello ladies and gents

Today I am bringing you my two favorite looks of 2020.
For Valentines Day, I didn't really do much other than play around with some makeup.
This is what became of that~

ADORING FAN(GIRL)

Oh, Hello Champion! So great to have you stumble on my page~ Is there something you need? 

Can I carry your weapon? Shine your boots? Back rub, perhaps?

Thought I'd bring my gaming channel character to life, as well as transform as another one of my favorite characters! The Adoring Fan!! (Aka Cicero! Lmfao jkjk)

I also seen a lot of images where Adoring Fan is modded to have bewbs, so well...I have bewbs. Why not bust 'em out for a few photos! Lol Don't get all crazy on me about 'em. They just bewbs, come on...it's 2020!! Lmfao (plus, I've done A LOT worse! Hahaa

Oh my grand champion~ 

🎪My Doodles of October (and so on~!)🎪--Snake Woman, Lobster Boy & MORE!

Hello ladies and gents,
This post is going to be dedicated towards my arts in the month of October
(and pretty much up until now~!)

I am working on a few more concepts, some that haven't even been outlined yet
but this post is solely for the ones I've finished (or close to)!

⭐The Progress⭐

I always like to make sure I snap a few images of my work in progress. It always amazes me to see how it can go from this simple outline to something entirely different.

Day one: Ring

Day 2: Mindless. Just a little Jack o' Lantern inspired piece~

As I was doing those daily prompts, I was also doodling for Cult Fragrance.
We ended up doing a Carnival perfume theme for Halloween~

My weapons of mass creation~

For prompt Day 14, I decided to sketch out my puppy. I think, if memory serves me right, the word was "Fantasy"

So, I made my pup into a Princess~ Like those old fashioned fantasy tales~

⭐THE ARTS⭐

I want to add that the majority of these were meant to be "quick draws" from a prompt I started in October. They listed for 31 days a word that had to be drawn on each and every day~ 

For instance, day 4 was the prompt "Bait" where we had to draw what instantly came to mind, with little to no thought backing behind it. Hence "Quick draw!" 

Some are amazing, some are "eh"...most are lacking a bit of detail. Like the hands. I hate some of my character's hands. But I couldn't spend too much time trying to "perfect" them since I'd have to do all of it, all over again, the next day. Also, if I was going to spend any amount of time on any one thing, it would be the color. For me, that is the most important. I couldn't care less about hands, in truth.

You catch my drift? lol Chaotic but so much fun~ 

Anywho, here are some of my artworks~!

☻JUNJI ITO'S BLACKBIRD by Hannabal Marie☻

Hello ladies and gents, 

Another inspired Junji Ito look--Blackbird. 

One of my personal favorite characters. 

So, I wanted to make sure I did her justice. 

Blackbird was one of the first stories I ever read from Junji Ito.

Someone made an insult about how I resembled the character when I smiled--so, being the curious cat I was, I looked into it. 

Despite the insult, I took it more as a flattering compliment.

I became obsessed with her. 

The way she looked and how she was so creepy without needing

anything other than her wide smile. 

I have wanted to attempt a look based on her but never got around to doing so. 

With so many positive comments on the others I've done, I thought I'd bring Blackbird to life now.

Enough chatting--

allow me to show you what I've done.

🎪Captain Spaulding Inspired Makeup Look by Hannabal Marie🎪

 My inspired Capt. look~ 

"Howdy there, ladies and gents--freaks and geeks of all ages~

Are ya tired of life? Depressed? Does your minimum wage job get ya down?

Maybe your mama is pissed off that you left her basement door wide open for her favorite dog to shit in. It's easy Jimmy, after you wank one off down there playin' your D&D and Minecraft--you oughta make sure to close that damn door, ya dipshit! Now that ain't too much to ask, is it? 

Well, if a firm hand of the law don't scare ya...
Maybe a trip to see my famous murder ride will.
You like blood? You like guts? Does violence get ya off?
Then you oughta take a peek at Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Mad-Men.
We got fish boy, girls who could use a good shave--
Mermaids who'll rip your balls off by the teeth and still born babies stuffed in glass jars.  

We got 'em all down here--so you come and visit, ya hear? And while you're at it--take home your mama some of my tasty fried chicken! Just say fuck it and grab yourself a bucket~ Bock Bock!"

☞DIY: Vintage-esque Palmistry Hand Sign by Hannabal Marie☜

Sneak Peek~ 

Hello ladies and gentlefish,

A while back, I took a trip to Big Lots to take a gander at their Halloween themed decor. 

Upon the shelves of decaying bodies, grinning skulls and haunted televisions--my eyes caught sight of the beautiful Palmistry themed decorations. One of which, really sparked a sense of inspiration and creativity in me. 

Big Lots had so many cool Palmistry stuff! 

Illuminated by LEDS--the "glass" sign looked quite dazzling and really caught my attention pretty fast. But the pricing was way beyond my own pocket-change. 

I was pretty bummed out about not being able to afford it until the inner creative demons inside me told me--"Girl, you can just MAKE it. You're an artist, right? Just get to a damn DIY" 

So, there I was. In the middle of the aisle. Fondling this piece of decor. Listening to these chatting demons pin-point what I should do and how I could achieve it. The other customers in the same aisle were looking at me quite weirdly and probably addressing this matter to the front store employees..but my inner demons were right. How could I call myself an "artist" and be upset about not obtaining something I could easily replicate? For shame. For shammmme. 

👻Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark [The Dream + A Secret Surprise?]👻

Hello ladies and gents, 

A while back, me and The Cannibal Carnival decided to come together 

and create a mini "Flip Book Animation" for my reading of 

The Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark--The Dream! 

Everything was done with a few pages of computer paper and a ballpoint ink pen. 

Nothing fancy, nothing extreme. Just a casual set of doodles that turned into a wonderful work of visual art, if I do say so myself. Especially considering the fact we did this all in a single day--no script. No set out plan. Just spontaneous minds coming together to create something on a whim. 

🎠Curious Revival--Eclectic Vintage Assemblage Doll Art (+ A Human Porcelain Doll Look)🎠 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gentlemen, 

As an avid collector of the strange and unusual oddity--finding items that both speak to me on a "odd" level, as well as being beautifully designed enough to wear and own is something I have always felt lacked in my world. Usually, I'd take to thrift stores to find strange items or stumble upon a gold mine surfing on eBay--but never, in a million years, have I ever found an artist who works with two things I am quite passionate about--antique doll parts AND vintage items. 

Now, I have seen doll assemblage art done before
but never in such a jaw-dropping way that gives you a bit of pride to own.

First impression upon receiving my package! The green paper tissue gave it such a nice touch! 

Curious Revival combines both vintage and doll into unique, one-of-a-kind wearable jewelry or home decor for the morbid at heart, like myself. 

Quirky in contrast, with names such as "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" with a porcelain doll face smiling up at you from a vintage bracelet or "Be a deer and go fork yourself” with a cute ceramic ballerina bear dancing gracefully on top of an old vintage bottle, holding a silver fork. 

The names that Absinthe Angi (The creator of Curious Revival) comes up with are such punny knee-slappers that just makes owning these items all the more sweeter! 

The logo is truly fitting of someone like me~ 

True to the name, these items are indeed just that--curiouser and curiouser. 

It warms the heart of this vintage loving, antique admiring, oddity collector to extremes.

If you have a soft spot for things such as this or if you need a great conversation starter--
I'd highly advise checking out this shop and placing a purchase.
I have a few items to show you, along with a look I designed to thank the creator for creating such gorgeous items for me.

I will get straight into my showcase and stop my blabbing.

In short, I really admire Curious Revival and it's just safe to say--
you have to see it, to believe it...

🎄 Xmas 2018 Haul--VTG Ursula Tee, Handmade Gypsy Necklace & Grumpy Cat PJs 🎄 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents,

Some of these items are actually shared presents and one of them isn't even mine

but I wanted to include because I was happy to have gotten it for my brother. lol

Anywho, if you want to read about the kinds of stuff we did for Xmas as a whole, you can check out that post HERE.

This isn't that, this is just the gifts.
I'm giving you guys two different posts, so that no one can come complaining to me that I gagged them with an unnecessary haul or that I was flashing something in their faces.
You got two posts to choose from--if you see it fit.

You clicked on this haul, you are gonna read the haul. lmfao

👹Monsterz Of Mayhem Ceramics👹 | Hannabal Marie

If you try to define "monster" online, it will state the following:
"an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening"

To some, the idea of a "monster" will cross their mind with what the media has painted them to be--Entities with horrible appearances that both scare and intimate the audience.

But I, for one, have always found monsters as beings worthy of love and appreciation.

At a very young age, while most kids were crying over Frankenstein, being scared about the creature that lurks in the depths of the sea and getting creeped out over the zombies deformities...

there I was, admiring them for their kindness they shown and sheer beauty that is skin deep and unseen by a naked eye. 

I loved this image, I don't know why. Something about it really calms me. 

As someone who used to grow up identifying herself as a "monster" to the general public when being forced into a corner in grade school because I just so happened to dress differently and act differently...As one who idolized monsters and leveled with them in such a way that sparked a form of unspoken connection between me and the "thing" people feared on TV or read about in magazines...I can truly appreciate what Monsterz of Mayhem is about! 

I, as well, have a soft spot for the ideology of what a monster represents to those who just don't understand or rather, fail to understand. 

🎨 My Paper Mache Creations 🎨 | Hannabal Marie

My babies! 

Hello ladies and gents

I have been doing some cleaning and rearranging for the Halloween season 

and I stumbled onto a box full of some of my Paper Mache creations 

I have made throughout the years. 

Some are from last year, a few are from years prior.
I took them out to gawk at and felt compelled to take some photos 

and share with the likes of those who give a damn. 

I love all of them so so much!

Goblin Market Inspired Look // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I am bringing you another lovely makeup look/Art concept.
This one is inspired by one of my favorite poems:
Goblin Market

"Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buyyy..."

Basically, to sum up the story...

Two sisters; Laura and Lizze.
They hear the sounds of the goblin fruit market from their house.
At first they try to ignore the enticing calls of the goblin men 

but eventually Laura decides to go out and see what's happening.
They entice her and she eats from the fruit. 

They leave and never return to her, 

but her sister Lizze starts to hear the sounds and asks her sister if she hears it, too...

to which Laura says she can not.
Lizze gets caught up in the call and ends up in the same boat as Laura 

but her ending is a bit more chaotic. 

She sees her sister being so sad and depressed about not being able to hear the call 

and tries to go out and buy some fruit for her forlorn sister 

only to have the goblin men threaten her to eat the fruit herself 

and not to take it back to her sister. 

She tries to bring some back, but the Goblin men attack her and end up...

ehem...doing things to her...ehem. 

I don't recall the full ending but basically, she goes back home all bruised and beaten
and that is where the story ends.
There is a meaning behind this poem, a reason behind this story--
but I shall leave the deciphering for you to do and just keep this strictly art. lol

Also, I probably chopped up the story but the gist is there.
If you are curious about it, I put a link to the full poem in the title name above.

Anyways, here are my photos that were inspired by the poem. 

I handmade all the "goblin men" on my shoulders and head out of paper mache.
I looked up some art examples of this poem and the vintage takes on it really stood out to me the most..so, I wanted to keep the feel of that specific art style in my work. 

Valentine's Day 2018 // Hannabal Marie

Treats Galore. 

Hello ladies and gents

I hope everyone had an amazing Valentine's Day full of love and admiration...

I had such a lovely peaceful Vday myself.
I spent mine with my family--we went to a nice dinner, exchanged gifts, ate some candies, cuddled with our pets, watched movies and I ended my night telling the people I care about how much I love them. (my family, friends and bf)

I know how Valentine's Day seems to have quite the rep with lovers and married couples but I want to also say that Vday can be a day of appreciation and love towards those that been there since day one--family members, friends, nice neighbors and of course; the pets! hehee

I just feel so full of love and despite this hallmark occasion--I do feel pride and a sense of pleasure in celebrating this year full of respect and love towards those that matter to me. 2018 still has it's up and downs but I feel loved this year--a lot more than any other year prior.

I hope everyone had fun and all those lovely things--but please remember: This is a holiday of expressing love NOT buying red roses or those highly expensive chocolates. Things are nice when given from the heart but you should NOT feel like you HAVE to buy useless stuff in order to be loved and to feel loved. It should be expressed without a need of some price-tag.

Anywho, enough with the chit-chat--time for some photos.
As I said, I celebrated with my family.
We woke up and exchanged some gifts. Nothing too crazy, mostly candies! haha
I did receive some AMAZING stuff from my parents and brother! 

Like beautiful clothes and a cute porcelain clown doll to add to my collection. 

A few pieces of jewelry and thrifted finds.
I felt compelled to do something makeup/artsy related modeling my new articles of clothing--so hence the bulk in photos. lol

Anyways, time to gawk at my weirdness! :3

These were all the families gifts. I got something for everyone. hahaa

A December To Dismember (Various Makeup/Character Looks!) // Hannabal Marie & Ghost Lee

Hello ladies and gents

This December me and my brother--Ghost Lee, came together and knocked out various makeup looks for the holiday season.
This shall become an artsy tradition from this year forward to always come together to create looks for holidays like this.
At least, the holidays that inspire us! ;D 

It was a whole lotta fun and it made me question why we haven't done this so much sooner.

But no matter--we are doing it now and that is all that counts.
Better now than never, right? lol

Anyways, we took to some old traditions that many people have forgotten or probably don't really see a lot in this time of the year.
So, here are the looks we came up with for the year of 2017! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

we are now in 2018--I can't believe how fast this new year came. 

2017 was such a rocky year for me and mine--full of hardships and so much drama.
I don't want to get into detail but let me just say that I am bittersweet about 2017.
Despite the negatives, I ended the year on such a high note that would make Mariah Carey jealous. lol

We watched the countdown with Steve Harvey--why they chose him after that Miss America stunt? I'll never know! lol

I don't know why but before Christmas, I was dealing with depression and so many negative things.
I didn't even feel inspired to do much for Halloween and it is my personal favorite holiday.
I kind of blame the various dentist trips and my getting sick late in October for the ruining of my Halloween spirit but even so--

I just didn't feel too good until after Thanksgiving. 

My brothers hands here, we Saged the house before the new year--to cleanse any impurities and bad vibes.

That was when all the fun stuff started to happen and I ended the year with a TON of makeup looks and photoshoots.
Aside from the awesome makeup inspiration that befell me that Christmas, I also made some great friendships and erased all the bad depression and stuff that happened during the beginning of that year. I guess it's safe to say that 2018 started on such a great note that I am actually very excited about this new year. I can just feel something positive about it--something great. 

Like this year will be MY year!

3...2...1....HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Oh Deer // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

today's post was on a spur of the moment.
My mother made this glorious Christmas wreath a while ago and I instantly became obsessed and inspired to do something using it. 

 So, I created this little deer/fawn creature using it. 

So, I hope you enjoy my little artwork and please don't judge too harshly...
It's my first time using a Green Screen. 

I made the horns from paper mache and I am quite pleased with 'em. It was a last minute added feature, so being able to literally pull something outta my--yeeeeah....it'll do. It'll do. 

If you look closely at the wreath my mom designed--you can see a little vintage Bambi toy hiding inside.

Like I said, it was a little extra makeup look.
Nothing special or crazy, just wanted to do something using this gorgeous wreath.
xoxo

❄️ Some Of My Christmas Crafts ❄️ // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Tis the season for a ton of crafts and getting my hands dirty. lol

I just felt extremely inspired this year--thus, the crafting had to commence. 

I decided to take some shots of my progress during the stages of building up.

Birthday Balloon Bufoon // Hannabal Marie

My birthday was August 1st 

I had a lovely party with my family and one thing (among the vast amounts I got!) 

was a bunch of balloons. 

They have been sitting in my room, deflating a bit, so I thought I would do something with them.
Just a small something to get the occasion on photo.

So, I did a tiny little photoshoot using them.

Nothing fancy, just messing around with my oddness. 

I hope you like it and understand the significance behind the photos...because I don't. lol

I just did want I felt and they came out pretty good. 

I don't know, just felt like flopping on a messy wig and playing with my balloons.
Heh, that sounds gnaughty. lol

I like this one. Like youth lost to the wind. idk but yeah, looks nice.

This is how I feel inside my head. lol

That's pretty much it.
Just messing around and having fun with my deflating balloons.
xoxo
