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~ 

👁️"Call Me On The Ouija..." Skull Ouija Board Look by Hannabal Marie👁️

Call Me On The Ouija Board, Baby~ 

Hello ladies and gents, 

Today I am posting about my latest makeup look and thrift find--

The Ouija Board Inspired "Sugar Skull" 

Or in better words:

Just some quick makeup experimentation to get me into the Halloween spirits. 

Also, this was a concept I doodled in notebooks my whole life--

I just wanted to make it an actual "art piece" by bringing it to life! 

I will admit, there is a lot I could have done better 

but the joys of makeup is being able to recreate later on, right? :)

Anywho, here she is:

HALLOWEEN Rite-aid & Walmart Walkthrough--VTG signs, Banjo Swingin' Bone Daddy, Cursed Baby Doll Heads & More~ (+Tiny Haul)

"Welcome Ghouls"

Hello boils and ghouls, 

another haul for another day~

I think this may be the last of the trips to most of these stores--

since I doubt there will be anything "new" added to what I've already seen. 

If anything at all, I might just snag what I see left-over within the weeks or if I ever return to these selected places for necessities. (and end up finding something I don't already own and need! lol)

 But this post is to tie up all the cool things in one bundle. 

We went to Riteaid and returned to Walmart for a few more items we couldn't get last time. 

You already know the drill, allow me to just show and tell~ 

✝️ 90s Kohls Fashion Boots Funeral, Remembrance & Mourning Procession.✝️

RIP 1990 Kohls Fashion Boots

We are gathered here today, 

to give our respects and love to a pair of my vintage 90s boots. 

I got them a loooooong time ago, at a local thrift shop, in relatively GREAT shape. 

I wore them twice and they ended up ripping entirely apart. 

I wore them again for a comicon a while back with my Junji Ito Spiral cosplay. 

Thinking that since they were a BIT damaged (not even seen by the naked eye!) nothing would happen. They looked great but I assume the treading through wet grass 

and resurfacing out into the hot summer heat made them crack and crease more. 

My dearest friends...

☞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. 

❤️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!

👉Strange Food Review: The Angry Whopper🔥😠🍔 | Hannabal Marie

A nice big bite! 

Hello ladies and gents

This will be a new section on this blog called "Strange Food Reviews."

Not quite a unique name, I know but the name doesn't matter right now. lol

I just want to document some of the strangest, oddest, coolest, unique-est?, different types of meals and/or foods I will try in my life.
I also want to remember some of the coolest "LIMITED TIME ONLY" foods, as well. 

Special holiday meals, treats and other things like that.

Very rarely do I ever go out, truth being told. I don't really like fast food as much as I did as a kid BUT I do like novelty, and that is what this section of my blog will be about.

To see what the "buzz" is all about and/or just try out something new. 

(Also, I let myself have 'cheat days' on the rare occasion. 

So, I am going to allow myself to 'cheat' with these cool treats!)

Now, I probably won't do EVERY SINGLE THING on planet earth--
some things aren't interesting enough for me to even care about but the ones I do want to try, I will--full force.With detailed description and photos.

❤️Happy World Goth Day 2019 (Makeup Look & Cemetery Visit! Plus some Goth history on myself!!)❤️ | Hannabal Marie

We decided, since it's the week of Memorial Day, we'd check out one of our local cemeteries. 

Hello ladies and gents

Another day, another post...

For those who celebrate--Happy World Goth Day!!

I've been "Goth" for close to 10+ years. 

Have had a love/hate relationship with the title for many many reasons...

mostly consisting of cruel kids telling me whom is and whom isn't "gothier than thou"

But the fact of the matter doesn't concern opinions...I will always love the word. 

With or without an approval. 

I can go into detail but it will take much too long and quite frankly, it's not that important.
What IS important is that I have found my love for the Subculture once again and can proudly claim that over 10+ years of trial and error. Heartache and ridicule. Being "Goth" isn't a fashion statement but something that can only be felt when you acknowledge that you are and will always be "Goth." 

Maybe not to the book nor to most people's ideals of what "Goth" is defined, but to yourself YOU can be as Goth as YOU want. If you love the subculture, the lifestyle and if you feel as if you are Goth...then YOU ARE!

Here are some of my school IDs and my ID when I turned 18. I wish I had my other 2 years in school, but I don't have them anymore. Those two years was when I was the most "goth" by definition. But you can see a bit of it in these pics. Please note: my style always changed, every single day. I was constantly always evolving--like a damn pokemon. lol

But this post isn't about defining what Goth is, it's about celebrating such a grand occasion.
So, here we go:

Goodbye 2018--Hello FUTURE!

I know it isn't 2019 just yet, with my timezone and everything but I know that as soon as I blink, a new year will be already here. Time keeps flying and it hasn't stopped yet but that's life, right? I am bitter-sweet about 2018--it started out pretty horrible but it's ending fairly okay. I am not going to keep you reading a long detailed post about silly resolutions or things that could have been but didn't...no, it's no use to ponder on the "what ifs" and "should haves", in my honest opinion but I know what I know now and I can waltz into 2019 with a better sense of judgement and so much more knowledge. If ever a year was made up of battling and fighting--2018 was definitely mine. I fought to get to where I am and truth being told, I am still fighting. I fought against negative forces trying to bring me down and belittle me and mine. Negativity in the beginning of the year, negativity in the middle--it wasn't until I decided to continue to fight for my own best interest, that everything started to change. I was at a point where giving up felt a decent idea...but something in me, with the help of my family and friends, kicked me back into shape and kept me moving forward. Now, I have so much to look forward to. I haven't even acknowledged what I'm talking about due to fear of saying something too soon and having things fail. But all I will say is that me and my brother are working, have been working, on some amazing things for this near future. Our skills and talents have been recognized by a few companies and we are coming together to see where this future takes us. I may not be entirely free from harms way but I know that if I can go through the bullshit I had to endure in years previous, I can go through anything! I know 2019 will be better for me and mine because only until now has a fire been lit under me to want to make a change and take my craft/skills/hobbies/talents seriously. Aside from physical skills and things of this nature--I also know who is around at this very moment, those who make a difference in my life and those who shine hope down on me...I know who you are and I just want to say I appreciate your efforts, deeply. Thank you for being here, for as long as we've known each other! Thank you for putting up with me, supporting me and inspiring me to be a better artist each and every day. Some don't see "likes" as anything other than food for attention hungry people to obtain...but I can't stress how GREAT it feels to see them on my work, to look at it being appreciated. The comments telling me how great it is or how I blew them away. It really makes me feel good to know that someone, across the globe even, seen my work and loves it...instead of just making it in my bedroom and pinning it on my bedroom walls for no one to ever see. lol But enough with the sappy stuff, let's hold our heads up high and embrace 2019!! We got this everyone!! <3

❄️ Wild (wo)Man by Hannabal Marie ❄️

The eyes I drew on card stock, it really gives me a sort of "painting vibe."

Hello ladies and gents,
I thought I'd try my take on a Snowy Alps Krampus. 

Highly inspired by "The Beast of the Alps" aka The Yeti. 

I came up with the look and overall design while listening to "Wild Man" by Kate Bush on repeat! Haha. Since I already did the "darker version" of Krampus last year, I thought I'd try something completely and totally different.

Here is last year's traditional take on Krampus:

Baby pasties and paper mache horns. 

👹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. 

"Tarot of Bones" Review/Showcase | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Very rarely do I ever feel a connection quite as strong as I did
when I first seen this deck of tarot cards.

Tarot of Bones instantly spoke to me in a way that was more than human words.
An animal voice speaking to the animal within.
That was how I felt when I first seen this beautiful deck of Tarot cards.

Lupa, the creator behind Tarot of Bones, with the help of Sandra Swan behind the camera,
did an amazing job in capturing and displaying nature for what it truly is--life and death.

🎃 Halloween 2018--Dirty Devil Dancing, KitKat Pumpkin & Trick-or-Treaters! 🎃 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I am bringing you a post full of the crazy antics 

and silly events that took place this Halloween.
We didn't really have anything planned. 

Mostly wanted to have a calm, relaxing Halloween

to make up for all the chaos and running around we have done the months prior.

So, we stayed home, gave out candy and had a blast. 

and to make matters even better--

AHS was on that night, so we had something to watch as the night came to an end.

So, enough with the chit-chat--I am just going to show you what happened.

I gave all my babies a bath the day before, so they would be ready for the big day. 

♥️Le Noir Bazaar October Subscription Box Showcase♥️ | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents, 

bringing you another unboxing from Le Noir Bazaar.  

I have already posted a mystery box from Le Noir Bazaar on my blog HERE

and I also created a YouTube video unboxing it, HERE!

But in this post, I will show you what items I got in this months SUBSCRIPTION BOX. 

This box really captures the essence of Halloween.

Le Noir Bazaar has two types of "Mystery boxes"--

a monthly mystery where every box is specifically themed for the sake of the month in question 

and a random mystery box, where they ship you a box at random. 

I got the October Subscription Box!

I made a video unboxing it, for those video inclined

Their monthly Witchy lifestyle mystery box includes a hand-picked selection 

of at least five spooky, Witchy & Gothic Bohemian jewelry, 

accessories, bath products & more delivered to your doorstep!

All kinds of dark goodies, it fills my heart with glee. 

October is sold out, sadly! 

But you can order now to reserve your November box!

Each box will contain at least 5 items and will have a retail value of $60-$80+

(Mine calculated to be around $107.00 in awesome products!!)

Please note: This is a one-time purchase and does not renew.

So, with the particulars out of the way--here is my showcase:
(I am going to also calculate how much every item retails for, 

to see if the box really retails for more than the amount you are paying for!)

The goodies were all wrapped nicely and securely with bubble wrap and gently placed inside this beautiful purple tissue paper & purple grass. Such a lovely presentation. 

☔ Another Rainy Day ☔ | Hannabal Marie

Such a beautiful day outside.

Hello ladies and gents

Just documenting another lovely rainy day that occurred a while ago.
Rain is one of my favorite things in the entire world--
follow that up with lightening, and you got a happy camper--ME!

Thought I'd just drop some images and a mini video I created in celebration to this lovely day.

♡ People Recreating My Work ♡ | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

It has been brought to my attention that one of my very old looks

has inspired some very amazing ladies to recreation. 

I can't thank them enough for taking inspiration 

and recreating a look I designed. 

At the time of my creating the Miss Spider look, 

I only had a very cheap camera on hand. I used an old green shirt as a scarf and the hat wasn't a hat at all, but a bundle of clothes to resemble a hat. lol

All done with a cheap Halloween wig and some face paint I had on hand.

Now looking back on this old piece, I feel obligated to recreate it myself. Using some of the better equipment and products I now own.  

Haha I guess you can say that these ladies who recreated and took inspiration has now given ME inspiration to recreate my own makeup look again.

So, thank you! :3 

 So, enough with my chit-chat--

Allow me to show you these amazing and talented people!

🎨 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!

🎃🐶Halloween Haul Pt. 4--Dog Toys & Halloween Makeup! (99 Cents Store/Walmart)🐶🎃 | Hannabal Marie

The bunch of stuffs I got this round.

Hello ladies and gents,

I just came back from shopping (Yet again! haha) 

and I gathered some stuff to post today. 

As I already made clear and will probably keep repeating in every. single. post--

This is the ONLY time of year I am THIS active. lol

Not even going to hide it. 

I don't care much for any other holiday, 

despite the love I do have for decorating for every occasion...

no other holiday on the face of this earth can or will ever make me go crazy 

quite as well as Halloween does. 

I didn't have a lot of money on hand today, just a few bucks.
But as is the ritual, you must gather what you can when you can gather it. lol

I seen some makeup there that I will surely bulk buy when I get paid but I just wanted to test out the quality of the makeup beforehand.

So, this post is just consisting of trial things. Is it worth it, is it not?
I will let you guys know and if I like what I bought, I'll go ham next pay day! lol

I seen nailpolishes in multiple colors. I'm hoping that the polish isn't sheer because I don't quite like sheer polishes. Unless I plan to put it on top of another bold color.
I hope the eyeshadow palattes are pigmented and that the lippie is matte.
A lot of hoping, so here we go!

🌜⭐️Mystical Inspirations Unboxing/Showcase (+Makeup Look) ⭐️🌛 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

As a lover of all things magical--I stumbled onto a lovely jewelry maker 

who creates such one-of-a-kind pieces from crystals and wire.

Her work is so breath-taking that I couldn't possibly pass up this opportunity 

to see if we could come together and create something from her work.

I told her I would create a work of art if she would send me something to inspire that creation. 

It was on a spur of the moment and quite frankly, I wasn't expecting her to respond at all. 

But she did and promptly, at that.

We exchanged brief words, asking me what my favorite colors were
and before I knew it, she was creating me what I am about to show you today.

Before I get to the showcase and makeup creation, 

I want to touch base with you guys more about her and her work:

She sent me her business card with a cute little note written on the backside.

(Taken from her website)
"As an artist and designer I started as a child, 

always loved to make things and collecting crystals. 

I went on to study art and photography after high school. 

I met my husband and left college to start a family. 

As my child got older, I started to create again."

"I then taught myself to work with wire 

and I started to create pieces with crystals for friends and family. 

This was how Mystical Inspirations was born."

"I cleanse, charge and bless all the stones that pass through me to their person.
I also offer other services.
I am a registered minister (non denomination) with the universal life church.
I perform weddings and hand-fastenings. 

I also teach meditation, spirit journeys and finding your own power.
I also offer crystal healing and energy work."

🎮 The Library Con 2018 🎮 | Hannabal Marie

Some of the stuff we got from the event.

Hello ladies and gents

September 23rd was the Library Con here where we live.
But quite frankly, it was a bit of an awkward day.

I have a bit of a story to share here, 

So I do hope you got some snacks for this very long read. hahaa
