All new Toxin... All new Toxic Lipstick...

Hi Lovelies,

Toxic Lipstick will be getting a brand new look very soon, so please excuse me if things don't match for a while!

Speaking of new looks, check out these gorgeous new pictures of me taken by the very lovely Angela of Miss Angela Photography! You can also see her facebook page here!

Love to you all,

Need some serious help!

Hello again my lovelies!!

No pics today - but I need a favour from some of you...

I'm running low on a few supplies and am now lost on where to go from here.

So in the comments section, tell me your favourite:

Base Coat?

Top Coat? (Seche still has my heart, i'm one of those magical people that it doesn't shrink on and doesn't go gluggy at the end of a bottle. I'm on my 5th bottle and have never bought the thinner for it.)

Finish? (Matte, Glitter, Holo, Flakie etc.) And what your fave product is to get that effect?

All time lemming polish?

Konad wheel - and which design?

Other thing I need to have?

That's all for now - I'm loading up some pics as I'm typing so look forward to pics of new stuff soon!!

Love,

A quick post for Halloween...

HELLO!!!

Okay lovelies I know I have been ignoring you for far too long... I miss you all so much!

I have been lurking away in the background and am now planning my return to toxic lipstick fresh faced and with a swag of new polish for you all to feast your peepers on!

In the meantime, even through we don't really celebrate halloween here in Australia some friends of mine hosted a halloween party!

Here's me all dressed up...

"who the heck is that supposed to be?" I hear you ask?

Black Cat from Spiderman!!!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and wishes while I have been away, keep your eyes peeled for more from the little Aussie Gothling...

Oh and just before I go... it's my birthday tomorrow.

Send me some love!

Love,

Argh!

I know! I haven posted in ages!
I'm currently fixing up some pics to post - in the meantime, here's a pic of my new baby!

Manky Rat!

He's a total sweetie! He's stopped biting and loves to cuddle!

He loves chocolate and dry pasta! 

Do we have any other rat loving bloggers in the house?

Love,

Back with a vengeance...

Surprise my darklings!
I told you I'd be back!

Here's a mini update on everything that's been happening in my little world...

Started temping, finished temping, got called back to work as casual contract for the company, broke my thumby nail (but you knew that), racked up a stupid internet bill, got cut off, got taken on as casual by work, watched my nails grow, received a mystery package (WHO WAS THAT!?!? TELL ME!!!!!!) did some modelling, and yesterday, the big day, finally got the internet reconnected AND got offered a permanent contract at my job! Yay!

I know I've missed a LOT while I've been away, you all need to fill me in ASAP!
What's the gossip? Who's hated? Who's new? What trends are you loving? What life changing posts have you made? What have you been doing with your lovely selves?!

In the meanwhile, here's the result of one of my modelling ventures! (clicky for bigger!)

Comment on this post with EVERYTHING I've missed!!! Or email me if it's OH... MY... GOD... kind of news!

 Love,

Fast and dirty poll

Hi guys!
Sorry for the severe lack of posts of late, I've been super busy!
It's 4.15am right now, and I have another job interview tomorrow!
Arrgghhh!

So anyway I have a little poll in my sidebar that needs attention!

I promise to be back to more normal (ish) posting soon!

Love,

A BAT! P2, Toxin the model...

Hi!

Yep you read right, model.
Some of you know I studied photography in Uni but was unable to complete it due to financial situations.
Now I'm trying my hand at modelling, I literally fell into it - I turned up at a photoshoot and the wardrobe stylist said "you'll be wearing this!" i was shocked - "I'm not a model - I'm one of the photographers!" "not today - we have two models and four photographers plus you... you're tall, skinny and pretty enough. You're a model."

From there I discovered a whole new way of doing things - modelling with the eye and knowledge of a photographer, learning how other people use poses and lighting to best effect, what looks good, what doesn't. For now its a new little side path on the main road I am heading down.

I had a shoot on saturday in Ballarat in the Botanical Gardens, this one was for an amazing Corset Designer called Obsidian Lace. I looove her corsets. For the shoot I wore "Dutchess" (the black steampunk one) and one from her GlitterSniffer range - a collaboration with an amazing artist.

I won't bombard you with photos, but I may add to this as more come in from the photographers.

Photographer: Ray Price

Photographer: Sonya

And already posted - the rest of my modelling work so far...
What do you think?

Also, I have the opportunity to purchase one of these corsets... which one do you think I should get?

Love,

GIVEAWAY RESULTS! [language warning]

Yes, I work fast.

I used a long and arduous process of printing out paper and writing on it how many entries each person had, then giving them the amount of entries as consecutive numbers. All in all there were 191 entries belonging to 50 people. I then hit up random.org and told it to give me a number between 1 and 191.

Rant language and winner behind the jump...

Giveaway now closed!

Hi all,
Midnight has come and gone and entries to my giveaway are now closed.
Best of luck to everyone!
I'm thinking about having a 100 follower contest on the heels of this, any ideas for a great contest?

Love,

Seriously very last ever chance for right now...

Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!


Love,

100 followers!

Hi everyone!
I know I said I wont be posting much but I just had to make a little announcement.

I just hit 100 followers!

I know this might drop off after my giveaway ends but I just wanted to say thank you to ALL of my lovely followers, both old and new.

I never imagined I would hit 100 in such a short period of time.
I know it's cheesy but I didn't start this blog with the intention of getting followers, I just wanted to put myself out there and meet some lovely people, which I think I have definitely done!

I hope you'll all stick around and watch all the new things coming for Toxic Lipstick, I'm not giving anything away just yet but I have some big things planned for this little blog.

My giveaway is closing in just a small amount of time with only 49 entries so far, so that's FIFTY ONE of you followers who haven't entered, including some long time followers that I know are reading this so please enter as I'd hate for you to miss out!

Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!


Lots and lots of love,

Time off for Toxin...

Hi everyone!

I have had one heck of a weird day today.

As you know I'm unemployed at the moment but today I got an offer for some temping work, as well as an invitation to a job induction as well as in just over a week I have an interview for a third job.

This week is going to be BUUUSSSSYYYY. Which means Toxin needs a little break. I'm going to be very corporate-bland and not my usual spookycute self at all. I have a feeling inspiration will dwindle. The upside of this is that in just a little while I may be employed! (Lots more money for polish!)

I'll still be painting away, so I'll have lots to show you when I get back from my break.

This will not affect my giveaway at all (for which you have just over 4 DAYS to enter. I noticed I have less than half of the entries that I have followers, so if you're reading this, make sure you enter RIGHT NOW.)

Keep my blog warm for me while I'm away, okay?
(I'm still contactable via email!)

Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!


Love,

Deliciousness...

Hello Ladies,
Please excuse my small nail drought for the time being.

I'm a bit low on inspiration and am in dire need of cheering up.

So what does Miss Toxin do when she needs to be cheered up?
Lately, I watch True Blood!

Sure it's a breath of fresh air after all this sparkly bullcrap, and yes I love the sheer trashiness of it... but the real reason it makes me smile? Two words.

Alexander Skarsgård

And this is why....

*swoons*

What's that ladies? More? Okay!

6'4" tall buff swedish men = yummy.

Arrrghrghrgrhrrhrhghbblbrblrble....

Ahem. Sorry.
But I just HAD to share this with you.
I know there's at least one girl that will get a kick out of this post so if the rest of you want to go back to your damn sparkly bitches that totally fine.

ERIC IS MAHNE... (heehee!)

Love,
