Geek Chic Cosmetics and the Epic Battle of Convention

The wonderful ladies at Geek Chic Cosmetics have contributed 2 sets of their eye shadows for prizes to offer the plethora of lady gamers going to be heading to Guise Knights gaming tables this weekend for Phoenix Comicon. In doing so they sent me a metric butt load of samples from their various shadow lines. Because of their generosity and because I am a sucker for make up. I am going to be using primarily their products this weekend to test them out for color, blending, and stickablity. Essentially this is the ultimate stress test. I will be in the start of summer head (in the triple digits) and I will be running about and working all day, so I am curious as to how they will work. Be on the look out for the full review, for now first impression.

So far working with the eye shadows have been amazing, they are highly pigmented so a little goes quite a long way. The uber fine ground to them means a nice smooth application. The colors on the website don't quite do justice to the colors on the skin. Most of what I wear has a bit of shimmer or glitter in it. The shimmer is well done and the pigments so far done dribble all over your face leaving frustrating streaks.

The lips stick I tried first is "My Little Pwny" A glittery grape purple that appeal to my sense of the absurd. The first issue I have with their lip sticks is mainly a geographic thing. As they are soft for a nice smooth application it does mean that when the box comes from the post office and you live in a warmer state I suggest that you put them in the freezer or fridge. Otherwise you might find yourself with a huge piece of lipstick that has fallen out of the tube.

As I said I am going to forgo my normal make up back and take all the samples to see how they stick up to 14 hour days.

Look a blog I haz one!

So uh... look I have a blog still. It has been quite sometime since I updated this site mainly due to those personal things that seem to keep us from finding that creative spark that is hanging out someplace. Rather than let this die, because honestly almost all of us need to have something to keep us on track (just admit it, self discipline is a refined art that a good portion of us unlucky bastards don't have). So...oh! Yeah, update. That is what this whole thing is for anyway. First a plug for something I am doing next weekend. Nerds, Geeks, Dorks UNITE, clicky the link and find your promised land right here in Phoenix next weekend. Phoenix Comicon at Phoenix Convention Center, get your ticket and wave your freak flag high. CAN YOU DIG IT?! (Sorry just saw The Warriors again) I will be photo monkey running amuck amongst the beautiful people. Just go to the website, look at the lists of guests and make sure to have a towel ready.

Also the hubby will have a his booth at Zach Reddy Art and sharing it will be the ever lovely Em2a. Buy stuff, it is only polite not to mention they have some awesome art. I will also have some of my stuff for sale, so if you have been jonesing for a Jayne hat, now is the time to get one as I will have just a few for sale at their booth. How could you possibly not go see Adam Baldwin and NOT have one.... Just saying. And if'n you feel like preordering NOW is the time. There is only a week to go and I can only knit so fast so be quick on the draw.

Since my last post I have lost a metric f-ton of weight (about 80 lbs) so sadly NONE of my costuming fits. All the pretty stuff went to a good cause so I am not too upset but it leaves me with little to nothing. This will be fixed, I am already working on a few things here and there so I can feel less naked without any of my costuming. None of my corsets fit either, talk about a broken heart. Again, they went to a good cause and yes she looks damn fine in them too so I can't TOO upset.

Watch this space for new goodies I plan to be posting.

Be Excellent to Each Other.
