Bit of a spontaneous shopping trip means I get to wear one of my fave lipsticks, yaaay :DDD makeup and scent deets under the cut!

Lipstick: Existence is Pain, a multichrome from Notoriously Morbid (i think this isn't available any more, but it's a really cool blue to purple shift!) They're fantastic for interesting liquid lips, highly recommended!

Eyeshadows: Blue Jay and One Night Stand from Looxi Beauty, which also looks to be not in business any more?? They're nice and vibrant but SO soft it's really hard to not mash them with the brush lol

Blush: Melt Cosmetics Blushlight in Daydreamer, one of my fave blush formulas. It's a bit expensive compared to my indie powder blushes, but the cream formula is gorgeous and blends in real well with just fingers

Highlight: Karla Cosmetics Seamless Satin in Lagoon Waves, which is a fucking INSANE multichrome highlighter. More expensive than I'd spend but it was a gift and I'm obsessed with it AND it's a UK indie which is rare. Also their packaging is absolutely flawless, so fucking beautiful. I'll definitely be exploring more form them for sure! It's cheaper than getting like, Kaleidos with US shipping anyway lol

Scent of the Day is Hydromancy from Sixteen92, a brand I will not recommend because of the owner's bullshit, but unfortunately this is one of my absolute HQ aquatic scents - it smells like a deep pool of water in the middle of a forest, and no salt!!! which is often my issue with aquatics (makes me sneeze....). I only have very little of my sample left, so at some point I might try to track down a full bottle without dealing with S92 lmao Notes: Fog, cold violet, lichen, ambroxan, mineral accord, petrichor, glass

random question because i enjoy seeing you talk about pens and inks hehe. what's your favorite pen you own and your top 3 inks (or more if you feel that its not enough <3)

ooooohhhh yes thank you!! i love talking about fountain pens and inks because it’s a pretty niche hobby for people my age in the US so i always jump at the chance to tell people about it lol

my favorite pen is my pilot prera! (disclaimer: i don’t own any gold nib pens) it’s very lightweight and small, and since i have small hands, it’s sized perfectly for me unposted, and comfortable posted. i don’t ever post my pens because i have baby hands and small fingers lol. i have the blue demonstrator version and the ivory version, both in a fine nib. if i could have the perfect prera, it would be the ivory prera with a gold trim and clip/finial instead of silver.

also. i only write with steel nibs (for now) but pilot makes my favorite nibs hands down. even for steel nibs, they’re sooo springy and smooth, even in the japanese EF size. when i upgrade to a gold nib, it’s definitely going to be a pilot (i’m just deciding between the e95s or the elabo/falcon).

top 3 inks is so hard for me lmao… i’d say… 1: sailor ink studio 224, 2: sailor manyo haha, 3: pilot iroshizuku kon-peki

(tbh i’d go for 3: sailor yurameku kyokuya but i feel like i can’t have 3 multichrome shading sailor inks as my favorites, and i genuinely love kon-peki) huuuge honorable mention for de atramentis document black, which is probably the ink i use the most lmao…. everybody needs a good black ink, and de atramentis document black is my choice of black ink. it’s quick drying, waterproof, well-behaved, and it’s suuuch a dark saturated pitch-black black. and you can highlight over it! it’s the ink i use in my hobonichi cousin for planning and note-taking purposes, and i know i can count on it to behave well even on cheap paper.

All Because I Saw a Purple Tree.

I’ve recently struggled through a large creative block, and waiting for my normal stream of ideas and creativity to begin flowing again has been a bit disheartening. About a week ago, I was driving around, running errands, and trying to come up with a new idea for a BYOP (build your own palette). As soon as I told myself to stop trying to force it, and that inspiration would come when it was supposed to, a beautiful little sight came up on my right. A tree with what appeared to be plum colored leaves (which I’ve since learned might be called an Eastern Redbud, but I’m not totally sure), settled between two trees with dark green leaves, captured my attention. It felt so wonderfully autumnal compared to bright blue sky and overbearing sun, and I knew at that moment that my next palette needed to be plum and green.

And, of course, it’s beautifully grungy. I wanted only plums and greens in this one, no blues, no neutrals, just those two, gorgeous, contrasty colors. Notably, there aren’t any light or pastel mattes in here either, and the lightest shade is a metallic lime green (top right).

Making this palette also made me realize that, while I don’t wear my multichrome eyeshadows all that often, I do reach for them a lot when building my own palettes, especially ones with contrasting colors. It’s an easy way to bridge the gap between the colors I’m working with, and multichromes can be incredibly versatile.

There’s not much to explain with this one, but I’ll try to give some more insight into my thought process.

Black Hyacinth (bottom left) is a black with plum undertones, and before I even sat down to make this palette, I knew this would be the first thing to go in. Most black eyeshadows tend to lean neutral or cool-toned, so having a plummy, warm-undertone black is nice for a palette like this. It works best with warmer toned shadows when blending, but I find it’s black enough, and the warmth is subtle enough, that it can work with other colors like green.

I essentially built the rest of the palette around Black Hyacinth, which is definitely the backbone of the palette, given it’s the most versatile thing in the palette. The reason it’s the most versatile is mainly for it’s depth (making it useful for deepening different kinds of looks, as an eyeliner, and/or for detail work), but it can work with the plums or greens in the palette, and as pairing or base for the black-based multichrome in the palette.

Speaking of the multichrome, Nirvana (middle row, last shade) shifts from a couple shades of green, blue, and silver. Depending on the angle, I can also see some warm purple, but that’s really dependent on the lighting and the angle. The dominant colors are definitely the greens and the warm silver, which I feel compliments both the greens and plums in the palette.

For the rest of the matte shades, my main priority was being able to create a blend with either the plums or greens. So I went with a dark matte of each color that was lighter than Black Hyacinth, and then an additional, slightly lighter shade to accompany that.

For the metallics, I wanted to keep them dark, and kind of grungy. Dress Up (center), is a really grungy plum with gold, green, and orange glitter, and Nightsky (bottom row, middle shade) is a blackened green with green, blue, and gold glitter. The last shade I chose was Prismatic (top row, last shade). I honestly didn’t know what to use to finish this color story, but I wanted it to be a 9-pan, so I decided to go with something light that I could potentially use to highlight or just brighten up a look. Prismatic has a lime green base that shifts pink and blue. Normally, it’s too pigmented for me to use as a highlight on my fair skin, but I’m wondering if the brightness of it will contrast off the darkness of the palette to be an effective highlight.

As always, I’ll leave you with some swatches (including a video I took that allows you to see the shifts in Nirvana) and a list of the eyeshadow names (along with their palettes, if any) which are written in order from left to right, top to bottom, according to the pallete.

Top row: Ego - Sugarpill single Forest - Beauty Bay Wilderness palette Prismatic - J.D. Glow single

Middle row: Speakeasy - Beauty Bay Age of Opulence palette Dress Up - Blend Bunny The Dollhouse palette Nirvana - Chaos Makeup single

Bottom row: Ivy - Beauty Bay Wilderness palette Nightsky - Dose of Colors Block Party single Black Hyacinth - Ace Beaute Floral Vintage palette

My Chaos Cosmetics order. I try to support smaller businesses when I can, and they’re one of the more affordable companies that offers multichrome formulas. The owner was kind enough to include eight samples for me besides the colors that I ordered since I run a makeup blog. The samples were four shadows/pigments and four gel liners, the last half of the pictures are the samples. Some will make for great highlighters I think! The Christmas Collection was also on clearance, so the shadows were only $5 each in the bundle. The top four pics are the colors I chose. You’ll also notice the last four are a different texture and that’s because they’re gel eyeliners, although they can also be used as a wet eye shadow (I’m assuming similar to Colourpop’s Jelly Much Shadows since it’s a gel formula too). I’m excited to try them out that way as well! The pictures don’t do them justice and I promise I’ll make another post with videos of the swatches to really show off the color reflects, as well as looks I’ve done with some of these products soon! For now I’ve hit the picture limit, so I hope these have piqued your interest. I am super happy with the looks I’ve done so far, and can’t wait to keep experimenting.

Hellooo

Fountain pen anon here, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for ink pots?? I’m finally ready to try them

hiiiiii fountain pen anon so glad to see you back in my inbox <3 <3 <3 by ink pots, do you mean inkwells, or bottled inks?

if you mean inkwells, i have zero experience with those :/ i think it's mostly dip-pen users and people with old-timey desk pen setups that use them.

bottled inks, however....... i could write a whole essay..... and i will underneath the cut

there's a lot of terms people throw around when they talk about inks, like if an ink has a "dry" flow (more viscous) or a "wet" flow (lower viscosity). there's also special properties, like shading, sheening, and shimmer. ink properties can also highly depend on the paper you're using it on-- coated papers with a slower dry time will allow the ink to crystallize and sheen more, more absorbent paper will show less of all the ink properties.

color and shading/sheen/shimmer are all very individual! personally, i prefer inks that have a very wet flow, and have high shading. i don't like using sheen and shimmer in daily writing because they tend to smear or transfer if you accidentally touch your writing, and shimmer inks can also clog the feed of your fountain pen, especially if you're writing in a smaller nib size. my favorite ink brand is sailor. they make lots of multichrome shading inks (inks that have different colors that might show up in the edges of your lines or in the spots where the ink pools), and every single sailor ink i've tried has had a very nice medium-wet flow and good dry time, and is overall very well behaved. you can look up ink swatches online! mountain of ink has my favorite reviews, they're comprehensive and she's unparalleled in terms of the sheer number of inks she's tried.

my current personal favorites, from most practical to least practical

de atramentis - document black - this is a waterproof, ph-neutral, and solvent-resistant black ink. it's my everyday ink, because it has a reasonable dry time, is very waterproof, has a wet flow, and is a very nice dark black. it's one of the blackest black inks around! and bonus, since it's solvent resistant, you can highlight or watercolor over it without having to worry about smearing. i always have at least one pen inked with this, and it's the ink i use in my planner and 5-year hobonichi techo and any document that i want to keep. the only con to this ink is that it can stain your pens :( but you can get rid of the stains with some scrubbing

diamine - ancient copper - diamine inks tend to have a nice wet flow, and they're one of the most economical brands around. the 80mL bottle goes for 16.50 USD and trust me, 80mL is more than enough to last a lifetime. ancient copper is a reddish brown with no sheening (unless you're splattering it) and very subtle shading. it's easy to read on white and cream paper. cons: not waterproof :(

sailor - manyo - nekoyanagi - this is honestly my favorite ink that i own. it's a very pretty light purple that shades blue and green in broader nibs. when it's been sitting in your pen for a while and has time to oxidize, it shifts towards a bluer color. as always with sailor inks, it has a nice wet flow and is well behaved on all papers. it's not a very practical ink, though, and fresh out of the bottle it can be hard to read if you don't use a broad nib.

special shoutout to sailor ink studio 224. it's been a hot minute since i inked a pen with 224, but it's one of my favorites! it's pretty readable and writes as a greenish gray with purple shading, but if you leave it in your pen for a while and it oxidizes, it tends to appear purple.

I always have been into eyeshadow that has more then 1 color so when multichromes came out I was delighted, intrigued, fascinated I can keep going on honestly 😅. I had to have them yes they are a little on the expensive side but they are worth it and you do have options on how you wish to use them!. You can apply like I did or even turn them into a liner if you really wanna turn up the heat what’s not to love? Multiple shifts within every turn of the head and of course lighting as well does play a part too!. I shop mainly with indie makeup brands as I do love to support smaller independently owned and operated companies plus your getting great quality. Have you ever tried these before?? If so how was your experience and tell me what you like about them!
