OOTD: Motley Crue Final Tour

It feels like just yesterday I was posting about my Motley Crue Final Tour outfit inspiration. Well, needless to say, over the past couple months I have gone to many of their shows. This Saturday will be my 8th and last Motley Crue show of 2014. I have realized I have a go-to outfit that I love rocking to these shows. Currently, all of the items are back in-stock on the various websites, so I thought I would share my rock chick outfit with you.

My outfit consists of faux leather leggings, a Motley Crue lace back tank, a faux leather jacket, and black boots. The tank is loose enough that you won't feel suffocated but still shows off your figure. I like to tie it up in the back with a hair tie that is concealed by the jacket, but I have worn it both ways and it has looked killer. These items are a little pricer than I normally like to spend but all of the items have held up super well over the multiple late nights of rocking out and everything that comes with it. The leather jacket is also a great transition piece when it is too chilly to go without a jacket, but not cold enough to wear a heavy coat.

 Check out these links to order: Bebe leggings, Motley Crue tank, leather jacket. I got the boots years ago and cannot even recall where they are from. Any moto boots will look fab with this outfit!

This outfit or something very similar would be perfect to wear to any rock show. It's sexy, fun, and still very comfortable. If you have fallen in love with any of these pieces, I highly recommend ordering quickly. All of these items sold out in a very short amount of time last they were available online.

Enjoy!

Give Your Perfume Extra Staying Power!

It is no secret that I love perfume! Nothing is more annoying than your fragrance wearing off throughout the night. Well today I have a quick tip that I learned from a makeup artist recently that will keep your perfume going strong throughout the day or night.

When you spray on your perfume, spray one or two squirts on the back of your hair. The fragrance will latch on and stay much longer than it would by just spraying it on your clothes or neck. Be mindful, however, that with more expensive, luxurious fragrances, you don't need to go spray crazy! My favorite is Angel and 3 sprays max will give you a nice scent without being too overpowering. We have all had that experience when standing next to someone who sprayed entirely too much perfume! Not good! If you use Victoria's Secret fragrances, like I do sometimes for work, or other comparable perfumes, you can be a little more liberal when spraying on.

And an added bonus: when you are dancing the night away, you will be able to really smell your perfume as your hair bounces around!

Zombie Bride Makeup and Hair Tutorial!

With Halloween right around the corner, I wanted to share with you a look that I am absolutely in love with. It's inspired by Courtney Bingham-Sixx's zombie bride from last year and I think it would make a killer costume this year! I thought this would be a fun look to recreate. However, for my look I'm going to tone down the white face a bit. I wanted my skin tone to come through more than her's but no worries, we are still going to go pale!

Start off by making that skin look deathly pale. I am pretty pale to begin with so I don't have much to change but if you have a darker toned skin, simply use an ivory, full coverage foundation and apply all over and blend down to where your top will begin. You don't want to have a different colored neck and face. Now set your foundation with light or translucent powder. Time for one of the most important steps.. contouring! Take a matte gray eyeshadow (Shadowy Lady from MAC would be perfect) and apply in the hollows of your cheeks and your jaw line. Blend the edges slightly. Build up your gray and then add a little bit of black eyeshadow to the same areas. Blend again.

Now onto those undead eyes! Apply Shadowy Lady by MAC all over the lid and into the crease, as well as liberally underneath your eye. This is a cool, smokey gray. Now take Sketch from MAC, a gorgeous, muted plum, and blend it through your crease, up to your eyebrows, into the inner corner of your eye and towards your nose, and underneath your eye. Once you have built the color up underneath your eye, blend out so there are no harsh lines.

Last but not least, the lips! Cyber from MAC is a deep plum black and would be perfect to tie this zombie bride look together! If that is not dark enough for you, simply pat a little black eye shadow over top of the lipstick!

Get that messy, I've been dead for years hair by curling your hair in small sections. Brush out some sections and run your fingers through others to get out-of-control curls. Tease away! Get that hair as big as possible. If you want to add a little texture, spray some Not Your Mother's Sea Salt Spray and scrunch some sections.

Hope you love this look as much as I do! Happy Hauntings!

How 2 Get Tiffany's Bride of Chucky Costume!

Today I have my first DIY Halloween costume! I was watching The Bride of Chucky and I thought... how fun would it be to dress up as Tiffany for Halloween? She's super glam and creepy at the same time! So perfect for a killer Halloween costume. So, if you want to know how to get the Tiffany makeup, hair, nails, and clothes, keep reading!

Let's start with the makeup! Start off by applying you normal foundation, concealer, and powder. If you want her doll-like skin tone, go a shade or two lighter than normal. Contour your cheekbones using your bronzer and then apply Bobbie Brown's blush in plum right over top of that and blend up onto the apples of your cheeks. Take a black eyeshadow and fill in your brows and apply your eyeshadow primer to your lids. Take Wet N Wild's Petal Pusher palette and apply the lighter definer color to your lids and blend up. Apply the lighter crease color into the outer corners, into the crease, and along your lower lash lines. Take the darker crease and eyelid colors, mix together, and blend into the creases and lower lash lines. Apply the white browbone color as a highlight. Add a thin line of L'Oreal Linear Intense eyeliner in black to your top lash lines. Apply some mascara and pop on some false lashes. Add some of MAC's Cyber to your lips to vamp them up. Extend the corners of your lips to get Tiffany's evil smirk. Take any sort of eyeliner pencil and add Tiffany's beauty mark above your lips.

For hair, you have two options. One, purchase a blonde wig at Party City or other stores that has costumes and accessories. Two, blow dry your hair upside down and tease to get a lot of volume. Straighten and add a little flip to the ends.

Use my DIY stiletto nails tutorial, apply some claws and paint them black.

To complete Tiffany's look, click these links to check out a fabulous dress, moto jacket, and boots from Forever 21. They are the perfect finishing touches to complete your look and they won't break the back!

Now, as Tiffany says, "Barbie, eat your heart out!"

DIY Blood Splatter Nails

If you are looking for a way to add a little horror to your nails this Halloween, I have a tutorial for you! These blood splatter nails look killer and are surprisingly easy and fun to do! All you need are a light base nail polish (preferably white), a dark red nail polish, a click pen that you don't mind throwing away after you are finished, and a paper plate.

Start by painting your nails two coats of the base color and let dry. Unscrew the two halves of your pen and throw away the clicky end and the actual ink tube. Pour some of your red nail polish onto the paper plate and lightly dip the smaller end of the pen into it. Hold that end close to your first nail and blow into the pen! Red polish will splatter in random designs. Repeat this process on all of your nails and let dry! Apply a top coat to seal in all of your splatters and then you are finished! Now you have your very own Dexteresque nails!
