Sylph’s Bane

This is what I wore to work today. I LOVE Sylph. It’s amazing. I sooo need it in full size :) You can see I used the Goody Spin Pins in my hair, just one on each side and my hair stayed up all day. Love them :)

Shade Descriptions:
Sylph – Light powdery teal with a pink shift
Kharon – Navy blue with majestic purple sparkle
Valkyries – A light dusty neutral pink pearlescent
Gossamer- Soft baby pink with blue shift
Bane- Bright pink with blue/violet undertone

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Evil Shades Sylph – inner lid and inner crease, inner lower lash line
Evil shades Kharon – outer lid and outer crease, outer lower lash line
Evil Shades Valkyries – browbone and inner corners of eye
MAC Vellum – inner corner of eye & right under eyebrows
MAC Atlantic Blue – to define brows
Wet n’ Wild Black Creme Liner – upper lash line
L’Oreal Lash Primer
Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara
Flirt! It Curls Mascara

Cheeks:
Evil Shades Gossamer

Face:
Meow Pampered Puss foundation in Inquisitive Siamese

Lips:
Nyx Lipliner in Purple Rain
Evil Shades Lipstick in Bane

I played around with different nail polishes on my nail wheel to figure out what I wanted to wear to DragonCon.

I ended up going with BB Couture Blue Bahama for my toes.

For my tips I did Rimmel’s 615 Night Before on all my nails. On my ring finger for an accent color I put on Orly’s Galaxy Girl.

It looks REALLY awesome in person.

On that note, I’m very happy because I have a good friend watching our home and Phaedra while we go to DragonCon. I’ve got posts programmed for while I’m gone (I might have done a few swatches for you :P ). I’ll take plenty of pictures at D*C and post them when I come back.

Have a great holiday weekend!

      Thank you! I thought so too :>
      Ug, now I’m trying to figure out what makeup to pack! I think Sylph & Bane are comin’ with.

    Man, you need to do a tutorial on how to use the spin pins! I want to make my hair look like that. :)
    Have a great time at DragonCon.

      Will do! The short explanation is that I twist my hair into a bun, like normal, then holding the end of the hair, I start to twist the pin into the bun, making sure it hooks around the end that I’m holding. I twist through the center and voila!

      • Heather / Eyeconic September 1, 2010 at 10:07 pm #

        Yes please! I just bought some, and I feel so dumb that I can’t make them work. I just cannot figure it out. T_T Maybe my hair isn’t long enough.

          If your hair is any thicker than mine, you would probably need 2 pins per bun. You put in one pin like this | and the other pin — like that. So they sort of cross over to help hold your hair secure. I’ll try to do a video for you all once I get back.

    I’ve been reading your blog for a while but don’t think I’ve said hello! I love your FOTDs/EOTDs! I discovered a couple new brands from your posts and enjoy your swatches. Love your creativity with your eyes! Have a good time at Dragon Con!

    You always look pretty in blue, Phyrra. :-}

    I need to get some of those spin pins! I’m getting married in a couple of weeks and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with my hair! :P

      Yay I love blue :) Do you want your hair up or down? Curly or straight? I wore my hair down and straight. Spin pins would make for a perfect updo :)

    You look adorable! Gotta check out the spin pins – when I attempt to get my hair into buns for falls it’s a disaster.

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:38 pm #

      Yes you should! They’re awesome! I <3 them.

    Pretty! It’s bold colorwise, but together it looks so soft!!

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm #

      I think so too, Therese!

  15. Sarah G. September 2, 2010 at 8:35 am #

    Hi there! I’m pretty new to your blog, and to makeup in general. So far I love your looks, reviews, swatches, etc.! (And you are very pretty!) Based in part on your reviews, I’ve ordered a bunch of samples from Fyrinnae. I also definitely need to pick up some of those spin pins! (And nail wheels! I forgot those existed!)

    I have a question, though I realize you’ve probably already left for DragonCon (have fun!), so I’ll have to wait until you get back for an answer. ;) (If any other readers want to reply, too, that would be great!)

    Eye shadow primer: I’ve seen you use Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, and Concrete Minerals Primer. How do you decide which one to use with a given look? Do you recommend one over the other for someone new to makeup?

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:41 pm #

      I really like Sobe Botanicals Primer, Detrivore Primer, Concrete Minerals Primer, and TFSI. I reach for TFSI more than anything else, though. UDPP used to crease on me, but UDPP Eden is ok. I LOVE the new tube that UDPP is finally coming out in.

      Anyway, it depends on your price range, if you want to support Indie, etc.

      • Sarah G. September 8, 2010 at 7:24 am #

        Thanks! I ended up ordering a tube of TFSI. :)

  16. Rebecca September 2, 2010 at 10:11 am #

    Lucky! I would love to go to DragonCon. Have fun and can’t wait to see pics.

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:42 pm #

      It was fun Rebecca! I always go for work.

  17. Ms Whimsy Beading September 2, 2010 at 10:13 am #

    This looks amazing! I love the colors. I’ve been plotting my Evil Shades order for a while now. I think I need to add these colors to it.

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:43 pm #

      Yay thanks Kelly!

  18. CucumPear September 2, 2010 at 3:37 pm #

    I love this colour combination, I think I may need to order Kharon and Sylph, they look amazing.

    Ooh, lucky girl! I wanna go to DragonCon so badly, but time and a half is pretty tempting, too. I hope you post a ton of pics when you get back! (P.S. I wish I could make my hair stay in little buns like that. At this point, I can say I’ve been quite literally trying for decades to no avail T_T.)

    can you please tell me your hair color please?
    it looks sooo blue, i want my hair blue too.

    • Phyrra September 7, 2010 at 5:45 pm #

      Sure, it’s Jerome Russel Punky color in Turquoise for the front, and Jerome Russel Punky Color in Midnite Blue for the rest of it.

  22. BLIX September 3, 2010 at 9:42 am #

    Aw, you always look so adorable with buns in your hair! I love slyph too. I had to get two full jars.
    I love the spin pins! I wish they came out a long time ago! I don’t know how I went without using them for buns.

      Yep, I love D*C. I go just about every year. I’m usually on a panel on the MMO track.
