I Think I Have a Little Obsession With Dead Things

Hello Everyone,

I haven't really made a post about this, but I finally have found a butterfly dome piece!

I have literally been looking for these in antique shops for the past year or so and I finally came across one on my vacation to Chicago last weekend. I can't even explain how stoked I am over it!



On the bottom of this it says that the butterfly is a Byasa Polyeuctes "Chinese Cowboy" and is from Indonesia.

Here's a picture of what it actually looks like if it were to be spread out.


Do any of you collect these types of things? Seen them? or recommend on where to get them?

I've been trying my best to find preserved animals and butterflies but I think you have to honestly find the right shop in order to get them. I have also been looking on Etsy for the longest time, but I am so afraid of it getting damaged in the mail.

Scenic City Cosmetics Review and Swatches

Scenic City Cosmetics Review and Swatches by Lethal Kitten Hello! I recently tried out Scenic City Cosmetics on Etsy. This is my first time trying out a cosmetic brand on Etsy, and I must say I'm super impressed. Scenic City Cosmetics is inspired by things you can see and experience in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. All the names of her shadows are very creative and you can definitely tell they are inspired by the area in which she lives.  This is the packaging in which the shadows arrived in. The shadows themselves were individually put in small zip-lock bags and were bubble wrapped tightly! They all came perfect to me with no damage. This packaging really caught my eye, and I love how it has a cute rustic look to it as well. I really love how Scenic City Cosmetics pays close attention to detail with the packaging. My dad actually commented saying how nice it looked as well, especially since a lot of brands don't package things as nicely as this.

Colourpop No Filter Foundation Review Fair 05 - The Lightest Shade Hey guys! I hope you are doing well! I recently tried out the lightest shade in the brand new Colourpop No Filter Foundation. I also picked up the No Filter Concealer at this time as well since I have not tried it! In the foundation I picked up shade Fair 05 which is the lightest that they offer. In the No Filter Concealer I selected Fair 02 and Fair 00 (which is the white). When selecting my foundation shade I used their foundation matching guide that tells you which shade from Colourpop corresponds with pre-existing foundations (such as Estee Lauder Double Wear or Fenty Pro Filter). When selecting my shade I personally went off the Fenty Pro Filter foundation since this foundation had a shade that matched my skin tone for sure. Below is my detailed review and thoughts on the Colourpop No Filter Foundation as well as the Colourpop No Filter Concealer. In my review I go through my application process as well. Ha

B True Beauty Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner Review Recently I tried out the Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner by B True Beauty. What I find interesting about B True Beauty is that their whole line of products are 100% organic, made with renewable resources, and cruelty free.  In the last year I have started using 100% organic skincare products and have noticed a big difference in using them. My skin reacts a lot better to organic products and they give me more visually noticeable results faster. If you have never tried an organic skincare item I would definitely recommend trying one out, you will be impressed! After using this Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner I noticed my skin became more radiant and healthy looking. It also diminished my redness significantly as well as sooth my dry skin. I also have eczema currently on the sides of my face and this did not irritate them in the slightest and actually made it feel a lot better after spraying this to
