you are *Gorgeous* !! You sooo do not look anything like a man. I'm so jealous of your lips! I love how you did your eyes! (I do mine like that often.)

PS Cult of Cherry mesmerizes me, even hearing the name...

You are adorable! And yes, ma'am, you were definitely
"channeling the voluptuous vixen vibe that night"...
I love how you wrote that! I often think in a similar manner. What fun!
You ought to model.

Thanks for putting the definition, & again for your gorgeous & seductive portrayal of a Vamp.

I can't believe I missed this challenge! (Well, I miss alot of things)

The Vamp is pretty much my favorite look, & I am sad I missed the challenge.

Theda Bara Image Gallery
My idol here, (my very avater !) is Theda Bara, who was *known* for playing
"The Vamp," between the late 1910's until the mid-1920's, approx., in Silent Movies.
When she tried to get different roles, her movies weren't as successful, as she had been typecast as "The Vamp".
In real Life, she was very different than she was in her vampy movie roles.

**I posted a couple of her videos in a thread yesterday...

post #23 in the thread, if anybody feels interested

http://specktra.net/f179/vintage-vin...5/#post1197057

I've posted about Theda so often. I bet people are sick of hearing me talk (write) about her.

My hubby did a few photos of me the other Day, which I would have used for this challenge.

Thanks so much for sharing your looks, photogeek. You look amazing! Love how you did your lips! & I think it's fabulous that you write down what mixes you use. I wish I could be so organized.

All of you look incredible, photogeek, kimmy (yes, Marylin-esque, for sure!)

, alienman (I love your lips story! Where's a photo??)

; chocolategoddes (you are a lush & exotic Beauty); Krasevayadancer (you're always a *star*)

; PBunnieP (you seem very un- "noob"- like; seems you know exactly how to do it!)

Wonderful looks, ladies. Thanks for sharing them!

xxxxCherylFaithxxxx

"Kiss me, my fool !" Theda Bara's famous line.

Being a huge fan of the Vamp look, I absolutely *had* to look this up... & I may be going to break my "no-buy" for about the 3rd stress-filled time this month...( & oooh...I can feel the tingle of the Search & Conquest...
Thank You!

$4.00 each here: (I didn't check shipping yet)
Zuri Lipstick

& a Google search:
Zuri lipstick - Google Search
nets many more possibilities!

ooh. I totally never thought of looking for them online (duh.) lol
sorry to encourage your slip from the no-buy-- but when/if you get a few..you neeeed 'deep raspberry' if you love the vamp thing. I know it looks almost black in this photo

(and in the tube IRL) but it is beyond gorgeous and the textures is great because it can be sheered out really easily and is fantastic as a stain. the color is exactly as it suggests- deep, saturated raspberry.

they have a ton more colors than this (I spotted one that was completely silver shimmer. I NEED it. I don't know why-- but it called to me, lol.) thanks lizardprincesa, the model isn't me btw, was just the mua and photographer

LOL

I have moments like that all the time. I thought of 'online' in a
gripey moment of "I'm sick of not being able to get out of this town when my husband's at work. This town has nothing!" (What a thing to complain about when the world is so big with pain...)
Our weekend is Tues/Weds & that means car!

OMGoddess! I am there! They are sooo Rich and Beautiful!!!! I will find it difficult to *not* purchase more than 1 or 2, as the colors are truly splendid!
I feel a chocolate rush/desperate need right now, from looking at these lipsticks. Isn't that weird??? I suppose they look orgasmically delicious!

I have a silver glitter lipstick, too. I don't think I've ever used it, but I *needed* it.

I remember the cover (or a photo inside?) from Sephora's catalaogue last Winter, after I'd made my one & only online purchase from them (UDPP). The photo showed an Ice Princess or an Ice Faery (?) with elaborate Snowflake eyelashes & Silvery Glittery Lipstick...If I recall correctly...I'm not so sure I do...Ethereality is mainly what I remember...

I've been trying to see if more *economical* "Vampy" lipsticks could work well. I purchased 2 yesterday, in a mall "alternative" store.
( I know...somehow, "mall," and "alternative" don't fit together well....if you believe in the non-commerciality of Originality ...Sigh....)
under $5.00 each, one Red (a bit too orangey for me) & a Black! My heavens! The Black one applies lightly, and acts extremely well as a shade darkener for the too-orangey Red.

These 2, by a Morbid brand

are Matte, work well *together,* and stay on my lips far longer than most any other lipstick I've used; they have about the staying power on me as MAC's Viva Glam I (the only Viva Glam I've tried) but they do *not* give as much colour payoff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now...Zuri Lipstick! As recommended by photogeek.
Today, the mail was sweet to me!

You have described it soo well!
​

I also got Ruby Valentine, as you used on your model.

Oooh....it's also very beautiful.


"Deep raspberry" is one of the most exquisitely gorgeous Vampy lipstick, if not *the* most gorgeous, I have ever worn.

Only Bourjois Plumping Lipstick rivals the Zuri brand for me, in *some* ways.

I bought my 2 Zuri lippies via the company below. I thought shipping was a bit steep, but they arrived, Priority Mail, *very* well-packed, including those styrafoam peanuts our kitties *love*

These beauties are on my lips 3 business Days after I ordered them.

Zuri Lipstick

Thanks sooo much for this recommendation, m photogeek.

I know MAC's Cult of Cherry is imminent, but anyone else who's interested in the Vamp look,
take a look at Zuri.

If your local Walmart sells them, save yourself the shipping.

Thanks again, photogeek. xxxxCherylFaithxxxx
​

PS By trying to save money on Cult of Cherry, I've now spent more than I would have on 1 MAC lipstick, but I have a few fun & exquisite lippies to play with. I still have Cult of Cherry Lipstick Lust, however, & I know I will, eventually succomb to the seduction of MAC.

 

[Temptasia]

I used some cheap red lipstick from a drug store makeup kit...sorry I can't provide any dupes for these lips!

 

[rbella]

Already used these on a FOTD, but here is my vampy look:

Big ass fivehead:

To celebrate my first post at Specktra ever, I intend to plaster my face all over this thread, hoping that I may make an impression that might win some favour of those much more talented than I (which is every one of you). So take a gander and laugh.

They're all pictures of yours truly.

And a stupid image to break the mood...

I've got SO many from this day, but I'll leave it at this. I was tossing up between posting this in the 'pin-up' thread and this one, but in the end, the more recent one lucked out.

I'll try to be a more frequent contributor from now on!

EDIT: Weird online stalker emailing me... I'm removing some of these photos!

Hope you don't mind!

Edit: I double posted so I'm removing this one!
