okie dokie artichokies! so, within the next few days hopefully I'll have something for you guys, it may just be pictures I don't know. But I also want to post some pictures of these amazing clothes I got from Hot Topic....the one in my town just closed Christmas Eve, and they had mad sales going on. 75% off CLEARANCE!! I bought a hat for $2, two shorts, one for $3 and $4 (I believe), and a dress for like $5!!! And then for Christmas I got two t-shirts, another hat, and a jean vest. I'll probably show you guys everything except the shirts, because they're pretty basic. I love them, they're so cute, but again, pretty basic.
Oooo I can't wait until summer so I can wear them! I'm so excited! Shorty short destroyed jean shorts with studs (kill me!), leopard short shorts (ahhhh!), cute little jean vest and a dress with giraffes on it (glory glory hallelujah!). I can picture the outfits in my head but, I may google certain articles of clothing I'm imagining this stuff with. Eeep! I'm excited. They're so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love new clothes!

get down to business
Alrighty....I'm a (wo)man of my word. I said this is going to be a beauty blog, therefore, this is going to be a beauty blog.....
Now, I don't have a video camera. So I'll either be scrounging around for better lighting for my webcam, taking pictures and posting those (I HATE those, but it may happen), or using my iPad. We'll test all the waters.
So my dearest imaginary readers, here are some things you can look forward too. I've already created some of these looks, just haven't had any of them documented.
I found a blog entry talking about Kristen Stewart's make up (whose I love love love! Always always always!) This particular one was on this shimmery darkish gray color with a dark brown that she wore for her Seventeen Magazine shoot. I love this!!!
I love the burgundy wine color. Ah, it's just beautiful!
For my winter formal of my Junior year, I wore a plain light cream yellow dress, and went nuts on the accessories and makeup. Ok, so I really only had on one necklace, but it was huge! And made of (Claire's) diamonds! I love it, I'll probably never wear it again because it's so huge and gaudy, but I can't part with it. Anyway, for my makeup I did Michelle Phan's look called Aurora eyes. Here it is:
Awesome huh? Not a fan of the eyes, but I loved the look. I had to go out and buy that teal/aqua color, I bought CoverGirl's....something or other, I'm not going to go look up the title for you, sorry. Anyway, I loved the way the teal and purple looked together, so I figured I'd do a look with those two :) Then I found later on that Marlena from MakeupGeek did basically the same look. My initial thought was, "Seriously? For real? Come on! Hey people praising this look, I can do it too!!" Once I got over that immature, competitive thought I realized, "Hey, I just came up with the same look that a famous makeup artist did!" Cue Vegas slot machine victory music! So, I'll share that look with you someday, but here's Marlena's:
Our's looks exactly the same :) Hehe, how awesome?!
Now, I'm dying to see this movie, it's an oldie but I really wanna watch Velvet Goldmine. It's from the late 90s, kinda based on David Bowie and all that glam rock stuff, so it's probably amazing. I also have this cute, girly obsession with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and he's in it. So now I'm completely validated, borderline obligated to watch this movie.
Anyway, I heard about this when I stumbled across a clip from the movie on youtube. It's the scene wear JRM, excuse me, Brian Slade, preforms the song, "The Ballad of Maxwell Demon". It's extremely trippy, funny, and addicting video. I couldn't stop watching it, or just listening to it! Anyway, I really liked JRM's makeup for the video. It's just a white lid with this cute blue color on the outer V. I've tried and tried to recreate this blue with all my blues (I have blue eyes, so I try to stay away from that color), and I CAN NOT! And I'm really broke now, so I'm not going to out and find a close one to buy. I'll just start mixing my blues. And really, you can get away with the look with really any light blue, the only way you'll notice it doesn't match is if you watch the video right afterwards.
I couldn't find a good picture on google, so here's the whole video for ya :) And of course, the blush will be toned down for the actual look :)

isn't it so pretty? This works really well for green eyes, but hey, any eye color would look fine. I did this once really fast, and I have a blue/green/grey eye color, and it made my eyes look green. Love it!!
This next one is another Kristen Stewart inspired one I found on my most favorite blog/youtube, MakeupGeek. They called it Cranberry Smoke and it is GORGEOUS!

I think that's about it for now :) I'll through in some brown eyeshadow looks, gold, cat eyes, smokey eyes. All the basic classic stuff. I can't say when I'll begin, but let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!
