𝕁𝕠𝕚𝕟 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕝𝕦𝕓--"ᴍᴀʀᴛɪᴀɴ, ᴍᴀʀᴛɪᴀɴ ᴍᴀʀᴛɪᴀɴ", "ʏᴇꜱ, ᴏꜰ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴢ", "ꜰᴇᴇʟɪɴɢ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ", "ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇ-ᴇʀɪᴀʟ ɢɪʀʟ" & "ᴄᴏʙʙʟᴇʀ ɢᴏʙʙʟᴇʀ!" | Color Club Review (Photos+Swatches)


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!!!

🎪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~!

🎃🍂Autumnal Carnival Collection 2019🍂🎃--SNAKE WOMAN, GLUTTON & GLITTER BEARD LADY PERFUME OILS!


Hello boils and ghouls, I have quite the treat for you all today. 
Cult Fragrance x The Cannibal Carnival has come together again to create another collection.
Unlike the few before, this one is very close to my heart--

⭐The Autumnal Carnival Collection⭐
"Step right up! The freaks are just DYING to eat...I mean MEET you!
Experience each act! Thrill your senses! Bring out your inner freak!
Stand out from the crowd & smell good enough to EAT~!"
I am going to be showing you each bottle, explaining in further detail and giving you my take on the scents. What they smell like, how they work on my skin and how long they last. You must understand, these scents are no ordinary perfume. Each bottle is a different "act" in the carnival. Each important yet so very different. Alone, they are a spectacle to experience but together they will entice you to return and keep returning back to the carnival. One whiff and you're under the spell...I just hope you don't mind to loose...your mind~

❤️My August Birthday Shenanigans. [Childhood Thrift Store, Lion King Movie + Makeup Looks]❤️


Hello ladies and gents
For my birthday this year, it was more about rekindling old feelings 
and remembering my past than anything else.
Spending the time with my family and spoiling them, like they've been doing for me each and every year.

We visited some thrift stores. (surprise, surprise! lol) Watched the new release of The Lion King. (A childhood classic for me!) And ended the day with some Chinese food and an Ice Cream Bar. (The Chinese food was from a place we used to always get when I was a kid, too. Told ya it was going to be an all around "rekindling" fest! lol)

We actually went to see the movie a few days earlier, since my birthday fell on August 1st and the release date for the film was July 19th but we ended up watching it on the 29th! (The tickets sold pretty quick, apparently!) This was a surprise from my family, so I had absolutely no idea we were going to see this. I'm so happy I did, it was AMAZING!

🤡 Send In The Clowns 🤡 (My Obsessive Compulsive Collecting Of Clowns!) // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents
I bring you another collective clown haul.
As I mentioned in previous clown hauls, I like to collect them.  (Not *like*, LOVE!)
Why? I don't know. I just do. 

I feel extremely connected to clowns. (or clownish things!)
ever since I was a young little thing, I have always been drawn to the concept of the clown.
Also, the fact a lot of people hate them makes me love them more...maybe it's the rebel inside of me that likes to go against what others hate but I have always and will always love clowns.

They are my obsession and I tend to find a lot in my local thrift shop--so, why not? lol

Where I live, I always find at least one or two clowns every other day.
I don't know why but someone (or a collected amount of someone's) like to drop off clowns at this specific thrift store because I always end up finding something clownish/circus/carnival related here.

which makes me giggle, someone owned these at one point...
now I have them, so I have become that person. hehee

Anywho, how's that for an intro?
I will shutty and start showing you my images of the clownish wares I now own! 

 I got a few clownish goodies, so here is a sneak peek at what you shall seeeeee!

☞ HUGE Collective Clown Haul // Hannabal Marie

Clowns are one thing I collect like it's going out of style.
I have a lot of different goals in life, some small and some relatively huge.
But the biggest goal for me in life is obtaining every clown known to man--so that when I die, I can be placed alongside all my various clowns and we can be buried together. 

Can you imagine opening up my coffin one day to find me on top of all those colorful clowns? 
It would be quite the sight, I'll admit. lol
The following haul I will be showing you has been obtained from June 1st to now.
Just checking back and forth at various different thrifting shops to take a peek at their wares.
So, one day I'll find a single item--the next, two.
So on and so forth until I have too much to post, like right now. hahaaa

I'm sorry, I suck at updating pages and profiles--so, you'll have to take it with a smile. lol

That's what I love about thrifting--you'll never know what you'll find the next day.
Who knows, tomorrow I might be posting ANOTHER huge clown-related haul because my biggest weakness is walking away from a clown item when I have the money and means to make the purchase. lol 
Anywho, enough with my rants and rambles--I'll keep you reading until your eyes get sore, so let us get into the showcasing.
I am going to be sectioning out this haul in categories.
I have Music Boxes, Dolls and "Other".

🎪 Joe Lee's LeGrande Circus & Sideshow Tarot Review 🎪 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents
I have a real treat for you today.
I was sent these lovely Circus & Sideshow Tarot Cards for evaluation.
I am forever grateful because I collect both of these things--Tarot cards AND Circus memorabilia. 

So, when I found out about these beautiful cards, I instantly became obsessed to the point this review HAD to be made!

☺ My Clown Collection ☺ // Hannabal Marie



Hellou ladies and gentlefish
A while back I made a video about my clown collection, thus far.
A lovely friend requested to see some of my toys/items and so I went ahead and sated their curiosity! (along with some of you, too!)

I collect clowns of all types; toys, dolls, posters, old magazines, ect.
I also collect circus/carnival themed things as well.
aside from clownish stuff, I also happen to collect other stuff too;
Like Oddities, Wet Specimens, Taxidermy, Obituaries, Books, Clothing, Shoes, Other toys, Makeup, Tom Waits stuff, ect.
(All of which will become videos themselves, soon enough! 
Some even have already been shown and some are a dream of mine for which I must first acquire them before I can collect them. Le sigh!)

But as I made known in my video,
My clown collection is just like my clothing collection...
The more I live, the more I shall acquire more items! hahaa.
My clowns are one thing, among many things, that shall forever keep growing.


Everything should be covered in the video, so I hope you enjoy.
otherwise as I mentioned above, I will and plan to continue this collection until I croak!

xoxo

Circus FREEK!show Series: The Bearded Lady by Hannabal Marie!



I created a series a long time ago called "The Circus Freek!show" and I never got around to finishing it. (I make lots of series that I don't finish! haha) But I thought I'd keep it ALIVE.
Today I give you another sideshow FREEK.

She is the Bearded Lady!



"There’s the bearded lady – should we laugh or should we cry?
Everybody thinks that she’s so weird;
Is she just a man who likes to dress up as a girl?
or could he be a lady with a beard?

See the people pointing, hear the ridicule and scorn,
No-one seems to understand her plight,
Laughing at the freak on show, well worth the fifty cents
Call her names, since you have bought the right.

Look a little closer, past the feathers and the frills,
See her tears fall from mascara’d eyes,
Trapped inside this body feeling every barb and jibe,
No-one ever seems to sympathize."

(Poem by KingPoetry
Makeup by Hannabal Marie)


 Products I used to make this look complete, are:
>Elf shades in Brown/Black/White
>Pink Blush from unknown brandname
>Fake Facial Hair/Body Hair using my real hair clippings
>Wet n Wild Liquid Eyeliner in Black
>Brown/Black Pencil Liners by Wet N Wild

Extras:
Little Posies!
Matching Faux Pearl Necklace/Bracelet

Thanks in advance!



The Lion Tamer by Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents
I created a look a while back, and sadly I don't feel happy with the outcome but as much as I can't stand looking at it myself, I simply can't find the heart to dispose of it without posting a blogpost about it first. 
So whether or not you like it, I feel obligated to post it regardless. 

It was the second look for the CircusFREEK!show series I created.
I don't hate it, I just think there could be more. (I always have this effect on myself, I think I can do better and whatnot) I just think this isn't my full potential but it'll do....it'll do. 

Let us take a gander...at the lion tamer...shall we?



In case, for some odd reason, you wish to recreate this look.
the products are as follows:

>Brown/Black/White eyeshadow from ELF
>Clown White from Mehron
>Black eyeliner from Wet N Wild
>Black cake makeup from drugstore








 Nothing to special about this look, really. Just lots of contours and lion scratches. 
and for the record:
I made that quick whip! Just out of a huge dreadlock I had and some black electrical tape! XD hahaa
