Brother and Sister Face Swap

2018 "Stars & Stripes" 4th Of July // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I want to create a post I can look back on and smile at.
This 4th of July was spent just enjoying life with my family.
Watching fireworks, eating food and just having a great time.

I will cut the talking down to a minimum and just showcase the photos.
They truly speak for themselves.
Also, I created a small little 6 minute video on the stuff that happened.
Nothing too extreme, but it was well worth the documentation. 

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. 

Clown Doll Hugs (A welcome to the family I am collecting!) // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Today is a mini photoshoot with some of my dolls I recently got at various thrift store trips.

I just want to say that I am sooooo damn happy I got to find and own all of the dolls I seen total.

I was so scared that they'd cost a fortune when I seen them and in my head, 

I was narrowing down my fav of the three...

but when I seen the price they were selling them at, I nabbed them all at once. lol

Anywho, I could rant and rant about nothing all day but I shall just skip the introductions and go straight into the showcase.

4 Year Anniversary Gift Unboxing // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Today I have a lovely unboxing for you all.
My sweet boyfriend decided to make me a homemade gift for our 4 years anniversary of knowing each other.
Around 4 years ago, we said our first "hello" to each other. :)

It wasn't until recently that we decided to take our friendship to that "next level", so thus--the anniversary was born. hahaa

So, enough with chit-chat--allow me to show you the sweet gift I got from my sweetheart~ 

He handmade me this beautiful witchy candle.

GlowAmaze "Natural Dead Sea Mud Mask" Review // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I have a mud mask review for you today.
I wasn't going to post about it but skincare items are something I am passionate about--alongside makeup. 

As a self-proclaimed makeup artist, one must keep her canvas clean and healthy.
So, skincare related products such as face peels, toners, creams, tonics and facial masks are something I take great pride in doing on a laid back day.
