'O Positive' True Blood inspired look- GCC Contest entry



So, you guys want a teaser? Of course you do! 

This is a two fold post: a preview for the Tarte for True Blood palette review/swatch-a-paloosa, and to show off my entry for Geek Chic Cosmetics contest (currently being held on their Facebook page).

So, be prepared to drool because these colors are delicious.








The stipulations of the contest were to take whatever geeky thing that you are inspired by at the moment (comics, video games, or what have you) and create an EOTD or a FOTD based on that inspiration. Since I've been on a Southern Vampire Mystery (the book series that the HBO television show 'True Blood' is "adapted" from) kick for the past few weeks, so you can guess what my inspiration was. I straight up went with a bottle of True Blood to determine my color scheme, plus I really wanted to play with 'V' from the Tarte for True Blood palette. 

So, there you have it. What do I call this look of fabulosity?

'O Positive'

Aren't I the creative one?

I had meant to have swatch photos and such up by the end of the week, but I've been having background issues. The background issues have been rectified and I will be taking swatch and comparison photos this weekend. Hopefully I should have everything up hopefully no later than Wednesday- if the L-rd's willing and the creek don't rise. 

So, spread the Peachy love, my freaky darlings. <3
