Style A Celebrity!

Ok, so I wanted to try something I've been thinking about for a while. When shopping I sometimes see items and think "Wow, *insert celebrity name here* would so wear that!". Haha! I don't know if I'm the only person that thinks about that stuff, but I wanted to try my hand at styling a celebrity. So my first person I chose is Katy Perry. Mostly because she dresses just so fun. I had the dress in mind already and found everything to match. Katy's style is girly, childlike and sometimes retro. I notice she also likes to have a lot going on, imo, yet wears very little jewelry. But I decided to deck her out with some Tarina Tarantino jewels, a brand she already wears. She also likes that matchy matchy style (me too!). Here I've posted my look for her, plus some of my favorite looks of her's.

Have any suggestions for my next celebrity styling???

Victoria's Secret Sweetheart Corset Dress $58

Sam Edelman York Platform Pump $200

Lulu Guiness Black Doll Face Clutch $308(converted from pounds)

All Jewelry by Tarina Tarantino

Electric Heart Ring $125

Lucite Skull Post Earrings $28

"Aunt Viola" Small Crystal Mandala Necklace $88

What is this feeling?

I wanted to share these tutorials I found on YouTube. This girl makes these super cute nails look  so easy. 

FOTD

I'm a little camera shy and I'm new with false lashes, so bear with me. I have no idea why my mouth is open in that second one either. I had bed head and my camera sucks so it really was more vibrant in person. Is that enough excuses? Haha! O and I'm loving the ELF primer, it makes the Strayin' l/s so much more wearable on me.  

Even though my lashes did look like crap- they didn't look this bad-I think this was a bad angle.

Bought from Kittzyy

Plus, she included a NYX Pearl Mania Pigment and other goodies! My first blog sale purchase was an extremely pleasant experience and everyone should check out Kittzyy's sale and all the other blog sales at http://beautyblog-saledirectory.blogspot.com

Hello Kitty Overload

My new makeup seems to have renewed my life long love of the always adorable Hello Kitty. So I was doing some browsing and googling and thought I'd share my finds.

-Start this month off right by going over to Sanrio.com and printing off your very own Hello Kitty monthly calendar! 

-Do you loathe this popular cat? Probably not more than the man who writes this blog. He'll show you the ridiculous things branded with her face from condoms to toasters(I own the toaster). KittyHell.com

-Do you love Hello Kitty and Luke Skywalker equally? Well now you can have your cake and eat it to! At HelloWars.com they knew what you were thinking and made all things StarWars really cute and cuddly. The site was initially down for um...copyright infringement or something but now says it will be back up soon! 

-This netbook makes me hate my own. This might not be the only Hello Kitty computer, it is the newest. And the cheapest at only $578! Comes in black or white. Examiner.com

-Is all the Hello Kitty junk you got still just not enough?? Well live in her world in this Hello Kitty(life sized) house! A girl's dream come true. Ubereview.com

Latest Lacquer

I ran across a sale at Sally's with polishes for $2.99, so I picked up China Glaze's Adore and Orly's Cashmere Cardigan. I love both, even though I didn't think I'd like adore. The Cashmere Cardigan is a lavender/periwinkle color like I've been looking for, it looks better on my toes though. I'm still searching for that perfect lavender color so anyone with suggestions feel free to leave a comment.

I'm so happy I stopped at a Dollar General for some things cause I found me some LA Colors Art Deco polishes! For a dollar! Yay! Here's my look from yesterday jazzed up with the Art Deco in black.

LoveLeeSoaps

So I ordered a few things from LoveLeeSoaps off Etsy. I really regret not getting those chicken wings! For those who don't know who LoveLee is, Click Here to see all her amazing soaps. So here's what I got-

From left to right, Mini Icecream Whipped Body Butters in vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. A Cupcake Soap in strawberry! And some Soap On The Go in strawberry melon shea butter. My order included a cute little yellow bottle shaped soap as a gift. You can tell she really puts her heart into these things. 

These Mini Icecream Whipped Body Butters are by far my favorite and I can promise you I will be ordering some full sized butters! These are "try it" sizes, I ordered them first cause I didn't know what to expect. I love being able to try something small first, and try several different varieties. They are packed to the top though, so you really get your money's worth. I paid $3.75 for all three. The formula on these is really thick but not when you apply them. They go on like really airy, leaving you moisturized but not sticky and grimy like I know a lot of body butters do. The smell is amazing and lingers but is not overwhelming at all. I couldn't stop smelling myself, the smell is so yummy! You can also get 4oz for $4 or 8oz For $7 with fragrances like coconut creme, cookie, and cherry limeade! 

My Strawberry Swirl Cupcake Soap was everything I imagined! I love anything cupcake, and had been eyeing this soap for a minute. It also smells yummy, I had to remind myself not to eat it. My only regret is that I didn't wait cause she now has a box set (in an adorable box!) of 4 different colored cupcakes. I hope she keeps making these! My cupcake was $4.50 which is a steal if you look at some of the other available cupcake soaps on Etsy.

I also picked up the Soap On The Go for $4 out of curiosity. It's in strawberry melon so the scent is not the same as the other strawberry scent, which I was glad of. Her scents are so distinct and different, she really knocks some of the big name bath and body retailers out of the water. The soap took a little getting used but after working with it, I figured it out. I don't know how convenient it really is but it sure is an interesting idea. I think it'd be great if she made these with some sort of solid lotion in them.

My overall experience with LoveLeeSoaps was great and I would recommend this Etsy Shop to anyone wanting fun quality bath and body products!

SweetTooth

Ok so I was over at Bakerella.com, a site I recently discovered...O wait, you don't know who Bakerella is??? Well she's the genius behind these Cupcake Pops.

Go to the website and she'll teach you how to make adorable things like these mini cheesecake bites.

Anyways, while I was there she was talking about LoveLeeSoaps who makes soaps that look like cupcakes. So I decided to check it out cause Imma fool for anything that looks edible, whether it is or isn't. Upon browsing I became amazed! She makes everything from donut soap to chicken wing soap, all reasonably priced varying around $4! Nothing on the site I seen was over $8. You could pay much more than that for soaps not even this cute anywhere else. 

These Chocolate Creme Filled Cupcakes really have white centers! 

I want these Cupcakes for my birthday!

These Donuts knock Dunkin's out the water!

You'll never see these Teeth soaps anywhere else, I promise!

My Boyfriend will be in the bathroom trying to eat these Chicken Wing soaps!

These Soap On The Go's really caught my attention. What a good idea! Sometimes I hate using the pink soap out of the dispenser at work, or worse-sometimes it runs out! So always have your favorite soap with you. Although, I had a face wash stick made by Jane very similar to this when I was about 14, and it didn't work out too well. Anyways, be sure to check out LoveLeeSoaps.

One Size Fits All

At $16.00 these pumps are a steal.

R.I.P. Missbehave Magazine (the blog)

Missbehave Mag was turned digital in March 2009 but yesterday Samantha Moeller (founder and publisher) sent an email to her staff. Here's the email- 

Hey Guys,
After much internal debate I've decided to stop working on Missbehave. I'm pregnant with my second kid and honestly my mind is just somewhere else. I'm going to enjoy the summer, spend time with my 2 year old and work on my other site. I am grateful for all that you have contributed. Please send me your final invoices. And thank you, thank you again. 

XOXOX,
Sam

She seems a little.......cold.

Anyways, Missbehave (the actual magazine) was amazing, always seeming to read my mind with the cover titles, like..."Dine Lohan must be stopped""Molesting Johnny Depp" and "Food Porn". 

R.I.P. Missbehave, you will be missed.
