I‘ve been seeing a lot of bloggers doing ‘What’s In My bag?’ type posts recently and I don’t like feeling left out, so I’m inviting myself to join in. ;) I also actually really like these types of posts… I’m not really sure why, but I guess I’m just curious and it does say a lot about a person and a peak into their daily lives.
My Valentino Le Maison bag was a gift from my dad on my 20th birthday. I asked for it but warned him that it’s so expensive so I’ll pay for part of it. My dad agreed, but my mom later said it’s not a real gift if I have to pay for part of it. Thank you, Mom! So on my 20th birthday I received it. It’s the perfect bag for me – everyone who first saw the bag kept saying it’s so “me”. I love it so much I named it Rocco, ’cause it looks so rock and roll. Geddit? ;)
However! Valentino – are you reading this? After 1.5 years old and it’s already getting ripped at the sides, and I need to take it for repair. For that price I would’ve thought it’d last better. Ugh!
Has anyone ever had the misfortune of hearing the pickup line, “I’m a cop, and you’re under arrest… for being too sexy”?! You’ll never hear that cheesy pick up line if you sport any one of these beauty looks, though. Here is my list, in no particular order (they are all as bad as each other!) of the 10 worse beauty crimes against humanity and how to avoid them… .
Over tweezed eyebrows
Over plucked eyebrows remind me of Ursula, which I had the great pleasure of seeing in the reflection some years ago. I had a professional eyebrow tweeze done and they were plucked so much that I constantly looked surprised/evil/stupid/all of the above. Over plucked eyebrows are a big no no, and I encourage you to embrace your natural shape, with just a bit of cleaning up. I’ll do a tutorial on this soon, but basically, look for the natural shape in your eyebrow and just pluck out the stray hairs that are out of line with that shape. This way, you’ll get a natural looking shape, and one that actually suits you. (For those who’ve overplucked in the past and want to grow their eyebrows out again, check out How to: Stop Over Tweezing and Get Your Natural Brow Back.)
Drawn-on eyebrows.
Dark, obviously drawn on eyebrows make you look mean, stern and angry. To combat this tragedy, fill in your brows with a color that’s one shade lighter than your natural eyebrow hair and use soft, light handed strokes.
Foundation that doesn’t match your skintone
This is said all the time, so I’ll put it simply: get the right foundation color for your skin – nothing lighter and nothing darker! You don’t want to get the dreaded ‘mask’ look (lighter face, darker neck).
Claw nails
This one may get a bit of flak because I know it’s quite popular in Asia, but really – there’s a reason why cats need to be declawed. Super long nails are not cute. I’m also pretty sure you can kill someone with those nails. The remedy to this disaster is simple – cut your nails regularly, and if you like fake nails, keep them to a sane length.
I don’t normally say dude, but DUDE. At the recent German Fashion Week, models were donning bald caps and stuck on beards at the Patrick Mohr show.
I know this is an acceptable look for men, but on women?! I wanted to make this a ‘Crazy or cool?‘ post but I know you all would have ended on your floor laughing and wouldn’t have the energy to comment! So instead I’ll leave this as a little giggle for the weekend. Have a great one! :)
Alright ladies… it’s been 2 years and it’s time we have a housewarming party! I can recognize a few familiar faces, (especially if you’ve enabled Gravatar!) but I know there are some others and I’d love to meet you all. It’s about time we start getting to know each other properly, no? ;) So pull up a chair and write whatever you’d like! Here’s some questions I’d love to know about yourself….
How old are you? Where are you from?
What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
How did you find Beauty Fool?
Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
OK I’ll go first to break the ice. ;) I’m 21, from Singapore but I’m half Chinese and half Danish, I’m currently having a bit of a holiday because I’m waiting to graduate from university, but I should probably start job hunting… oops. Um, I found Beauty Fool because I created it, silly! My other ultimate obsession is music and playing the guitar (badly), and my interests are watching movies, writing, traveling, drawing, cycling, seeing friends, having late night drive adventures, bumming on the beach and more! Phew…
Also, just to let you all know I am taking an impromptu trip to Thailand – it’s beach time for me! I’ll be gone for a week so posting will be a little bit dry, but I’ll be as active in the comment sections as much as the hotel Internet allows! ‘Til then, hope you all have a great week and we’ll catch up very soon! :)
P.S.: What do you think of a post like this every end of the month? Somewhere where we can chat, ask questions – an ‘open thread’ of sorts? Could be fun, let me know what you think.
Here’s something to start your weekend off with a giggle: the Miraculous Adode Photoshop Day Cream. Grab your nearest magazine and flip through to see proven results, time and time again!
Here’s a little something for the weekend. I’m not sure if this is a true story… but either way, bravo! Finally, an inspiring ad that doesn’t just say, “get sexy hair to look hot!” Any thoughts on this commercial?
The beauty blogs are abuzzing over the beautiful Tara P. Henson (actress, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) who showed up at an event with loose powder still under her eyes.
A quick bit of info: loose powder is normally put under your eyes before applying heavy eye makeup, so that if any makeup falls, the loose powder ‘catches’ any mistakes, that you can sweep off after applying all your eyemakeup. (As opposed to applying your makeup and having mascara or eyeshadow spilling down to your cheeks, which is harder to remove).
This photo made me think of any makeup and beauty mishaps you’ve ever had. We talked about our past beauty mistakes, but what about mistakes you knew nothing about?
The only thing I can remember is that long ago (before I met Virtuose, the love of my life) my mascara would always run down my face. One particular night I came home to find a big blob or black mascara under my right eye, which was then smudged alittle down my cheek. I was at a gathering and photos were taken, so I asked my then boyfriend why didn’t he tell me about it, but apparently guys really are clueless, because he didn’t even notice it. D’oh! Embarassing indeed.
Anyway, back to Tara – who’s to blame? Her makeup artist for forgetting, or herself? Who doesn’t take a quick look in the mirror before they go to an important event? Yikes!
What are some beauty mishaps that has happened to you? Any funny stories to share? :)
