Last night over coffee/tea/dessert, Ningin Blogger Mia put me onto the cutest, most colorful and cheap (!) eyeshadow I’ve seen in a while. Now I consider myself a bit knowledgeable on cheapie makeup (that is actual quality makeup), because besides the fact that I’m a broke college student, spending over 10 bucks for some lip gloss is retarded to me. Especially since I’m prone to lose things. Anywho, yes, Mia brought these cute little L.A. Colors loose shimmer shadows to my attention, and I’m now on a sworn mission to find a place in the Bronx that sells them because I WANT EVERY COLOR!

I don’t know if I’ve blogged this yet, as I’m sure I may have; considering the amount of youtube posts I’ve done this past year, but I’m in love with this girl’s handiwork. Her name is Lauren aka Panacea81, she’s from the UK and she’s one of the most loveable, adorable, and talented makeup artists I’ve ever seen on youtube. I was linked to one of her videos by a good friend of mine, and since then I’ve been hooked to her videos. She is AMAZING! Mind you, with practically no formal training in cosmetology, she’s a master at creating the most dynamic and beautiful eye art that can rival the best in the industry.

Well the year is already a day old, and like everyone else on the planet, I’ve got some goals that I want to achieve this year. The thing is though, that I’m not really good with keeping these resolutions. LOL They usually fade into oblivion by March. I think that happens because I always have this ambitious laundry list of things that I want to accomplish and in the end, I’m just overwhelmed with how much I “need” to do, and end up either half assing it, or putting it off until never. Yeah, I said until never. Down with Procratination!

That’s what Associated Press’s Samantha Critchell is saying on Yahoo! Buzz. According to the article, Pantone Color Institute’s executive director, Leatrice Eiseman states that yellow is “the color of the future” because it reminds us of “warmth, sunshine and cheer — all the good things we’re in dire need of right now.” I kinda have to agree. Yellow does make me happy, that is, if it’s the right shade. Pale yellow tends to make me think of pee….lol but that’s just because I’m a bit unhinged……

So earlier today, my brother showed me a video on youtube of a person getting their eye color changed..permantently. Seriously, it was so weird that I googled around, just to make sure it wasn’t some phony video, and I found this website “New Color Iris” . Sure as day, people are lining up to get surgery that will eliminate color contacts and permanently change the appearance of their eyes! When will people be satisfied with what they have!?

As we all know, for the past few weeks I’ve been slightly obsessed with Fafinettes, and for Halloween I chose to dress up as one. Well, I decided that my “costume”, pictured to the left, would be a mixture of some of my favorite Fafinettes, but I don’t have any full pictures of my outfit. If you’re wondering what I’m wearing:tank top (2) old school running shorts, leggings, leg warmers and pumps. Also  I wanted to give props to the other chicas who donned their Fafinette alter egos for Halloween, and even those who rock their inner Fafinette, no special occassion needed. So here’s to all of the Fafinettes Worldwide!!

Last month, I let you guys in on one of my favorite online fashion magazines based in Seoul, South Korea called Feet Man Seoul. Hopefully you girls and guys have been checking them out because they’ve been covering all kinds of cool events like Seoul Fashion Week as well as their usual street fashion. And if you’re like me, looking through all of the photographs is probably your favorite thing about the site, along with the commentary from the writers, and visitors alike. Well, I just found out yesterday that FMS is planning on releasing a photobook of their best work! How awesome is that? Based on the information given on FMS, the photo book will be a look book of sorts documenting interesting fashion statements and trends from the past six months for only 50 bucks!

In case you didn’t know, the easiest and probably cheapest way to revamp your look is to get your eyebrows done. Why? It’s quite simple: your eyebrows are like the Diana Ross of your face. They’re the main show. Think about it; what’s the point of having beautiful makeup if you’re eyebrows look a hot mess? Plus shaping your eyebrows will instantly “open up” your face, giving you a more bright eyed appearance.

First, let me just say, not all eyebrows are shaped the same way. Some are arched and some aren’t. Some are thick, and some are thin. It doesn’t matter which you have, or even prefer, just as long as they’re groomed you’ll look great, with or without makeup.There are several ways you can achieve pretty eyebrows: plucking with tweezers, waxing, and threading.
