Goth Summer style

 Hope you are all having a great Summer. I put together some fun summer goth outfits plus some activities I have done with my husband this Summer. I went to see the Barbie movie. It was rad. I went as goth Barbie of course haha The Central Coast isnt as hot because we live near beaches and ocean and get some breezy weather so that is nice. It has even rained a lot which I love! Cheers 

Gothic Beauty magazine box

 I was so excited to know gothic beauty magazine was doing physical magazines again and fun boxes. I had no idea haha. This box had makeup, candles and other from some awesome artists! Loove eye shadow palette and ankh eye stamp.

Review of Night Fiend palette by Blackcraft

Pros: The packaging was badass as hell and I loved Bloodmoon.

Cons: The shadow was not as pigmented as a lot of people liked. It went on well with my skin tone but I'm super pale. I had friends with more dark olive to dark skin tones that tried it and you could barely see it on them. I am not going to complain much though because the price was great. I also really loved the coffins. I hope they can come up with something more pigmented and some deeper hues. I would love a vampire style palette with more deep reds, blacks and blues. To those of you that complained on my instagram and youtube, if you are not happy with certain aspects of products I urge you to write to the company and let them know. Please be polite when writing to people and sending requests. I loved the packaging beyond words. I have a death moth tattoo on my arm so that is kind of what drew me to it. I hope to see what colors they will come up with in the future! 

My Gothic Beauty magazine collection

I recently did a video for my eternal wynter youtube channel about my Gothic Beauty magazine collection that I've had since 2000. I love Gothic magazines. If you want to find back issues you can go to their website or find a plethora of gothic lifestyle magazines on ebay. They not only have Gothic Beauty but many other gothic or darkly inclined subculture magazines like Propaganda, Carpe Noctem and many more. Do any of you have collections? I have collected quite a few gothic literature books, goth subculture and magazines over the years. I'd love to hear about yours. 

Goth haul March, 2014

Did a little haul this week. I found some new goth white makeup from Manic Panic, got a new version of my Vampire Kisses book, mother one is falling apart and pretty much messed up haha! Also I have one vegetarian book that fell apart, got coffee spilled all over it and the pages were ripped up. That just means I really love my books. I usually keep them pretty nice but at times it is hard if I travel with them or they pass from person to person. I got a new wallet from gothic swap with friends and a new spider ring which I adore to pieces. I got a new batty plush for my collection! I have so many bats and a frankenweenie doll to welcome him into the fold. I know some of you collect plush toys too :> 

Camden Town and Camden Locke

Surreal and amazing isn't even beginning to describe how awesome this place is. If you are gothic or alternative like me I promise there will be something to suit your tastes. From bohemian, whimsical fairie child to Mori girl running around in the forest to vampiric and gothic princess, the clothes here are gorgeous and in a word perfect. I was able to find clothing and items at prices that were so much cheaper than they are online or at other stores. The array of gothic clothing they had here was so much more than I have found in the states. Usually I have to import my vampiric, romantic style goth clothing from other countries so it was so nice to come here and find what I was looking for. I found they really catered to you especially if you are more alternative. Seeing the canals, the former horse stables, the art, it seemed like something one could only dream of and the fact that this place exists is all to wonderful. It is urban, cool and full of so many people with so many nationalities. It was so fun!! When you shop here do beware of pick pockets and keep an eye on your bags and goodies but other than that it is a fun and safe place to come. I had no issues with pick pockets myself but I also am gothic with red hair and a 6 foot 4 husband who has a black belt in karate lol. It does get incredibly crowded but I found people were very polite. If you are worried about food. They have every kind of food from every type of place you can imagine. You won't go broke eating here. Many of the pieces are priced very low and affordable. A lot of the vendors and sellers of jewelry have extremely affordable items as well and if you don't mind spending more there are a few shops you can do so at. This was by far one of my favorite places. I recommend a visit if you ever come to England!
