Celebrities without Makeup and Makeup Tips

So there was no 'What to Wear Wednesday' yesterday because I was in Toronto so I'll make it up to you by posting pics of Celebrities without makeup. Who doesn't love to see beautiful celebrities looking..err.. Not so beautiful. Oh the wonders of Makeup. Before you take a look I just want to say that Makeup is a wonderful thing. It can take any plain ol'tired face and make it look fresh and radiant. And who doesn't want to look fresh and radiant? Looking at someone without makeup is like looking at blank piece of paper..Boring.
If you regularly don't wear makeup you might look more like the celebs in the 'Before' pics. Even naturally beautiful people look better with makeup. And I'm not talking about caking on 10 pounds of makeup because that usually doesn't look good either. I just mean if you don't wear any makeup at all trust me you'd look alot better with a bit of mascara, lip gloss, even out that complexion with a bit of concealer and even a swipe of eyeshadow. Surely you have 2 minutes in your day to do that. Now lets take a look at these not so glam celebs.




This one's my favourite. Eva's more pasty looking then I am. Gotta love Self- Tanner.


I don't get it, why'd she let them take this pic? I would rather eat glass then have someone take a picture of me when I first wake up.


ew.


This one's for my friend Rikki who doesn't think Cameron is pretty. But I argued with her and said she's Gorgegous!..Ok Rikki you win.

I love Kate Moss, so I have nothing bad to say.. People get old, it happens.


This pics not too surprising. Whitney sober at a photoshoot and Whitney on Crack at the airport.


This one's not surprising either. Pam's getting old. She still looks alright for someone who's like 50 and has 2 kids and has been married like 3 times this year. Stress does cause wrinkles.



I couldn't decide if I wanted to post this one or not, because who really cares what renee looks likes. But I decided to post it anyway.



Makeup Tips:


For Small Eyes- I can't do this because I have large eyes but I've seen it done on other people and it really does make a difference. Take a white eyeliner pencil and line just the inner part of your eye. From one side right to the other. This really will open up your eyes.


Cheap Makeup- I've heard females complain that they put on eyeshadow in the morning and half way through the day it's worn off. That's simply because you're using cheap drugstore eyeshadow. NEVER buy eyeshadow from Shoppers, it's pointless. I will say that Loreal's new HiP eyeshadows do work very well. They're probably the only one's from a drugstore that do. They work because they have more pigment then most eyeshadow. However MAC is and always will be the only eyeshadow I use. You might not want to spend $20 on one single colour eyeshadow but look at it like this. You don't need to use alot because it's got high intensity pigments so it will last you waaay longer then those drugstore brands. Plus you apply it in the morning and it will stay on all day. So you will never have to re-apply. It's worth the extra money.


Mascara and lipgloss: If you only have time to apply 2 things in the morning let it be Mascara and lipgloss. Mascara will make your eye looks awake and lipgloss will brighten up your face. If you have time for one more thing concealer is important too. I don't put it all over my face because I would breakout. Just under the eyes is good enough.


Fill in those Brows: Don't go out with patchy eyebrows. Your eyebrows should start directly above the inner corner of your eyes. If they don't fill them in so they do.


Lip Stick: I love lipstick in dark colours or light. But if you have a really smokey eye don't wear dark lipstick or you'll look goth. If your eye makeup is dark wear a nude lipstick with a nude lipliner and some gloss. If you want to wear dark lipstick keep the eye makeup more natural.


Blush and Bronzer: If you think you look tired nothing will perk up your face better then Blush or a Bronzer. Don't apply it all over your cheeks. It just needs to go on your cheek bones. Smiling in mirror while applying is the best way to find those cheek bones. And when buying a blush or bronzer don't pick a color out yourself. ALWAYS ask the cosmetologist for help.


Moisturizer: NEVER EVER apply makeup without first applying moisturizer. Otherwise you will get wrinkles.

Beauty Tip Tuesday

Food For Your Face

Basically any fruit or vegetable you eat, you can put on your face to give your face vitamins and antioxidants. There's of course some that are better then others. I'm not going to list them all today I'm just going to talk about my 3 absolute favourite.





Plain Yogurt:
I've had problem skin for a long time. I'm 25 and I still get pimples. WTF... I mean I don't have acne or anything but I do get a few ugly pimples sometimes. I've tried EVERTHING to try and have perfect clear, even skin. Everything from Drugstore brands like Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Olay.. The list is endless, to more expensive brands of skin care like Proactive and whatever I could find at Sephora. None of these really gave me the nice even complexion I wanted. Well I read that Alot of Models use Yogurt to wash their face or as a mask...Yeah right like $2.00 Yogurt is really going to work I thought. Well I picked some up at the Organic food store and I've been in love with it ever since. You don't have to buy organic, but a BIG tub of it at Goodness Me is only $2.00.
My face is too oily to use it just as a face wash but after I wash my face with my $1.60 bar of soap from Goodness Me, I slather on some Yogurt, rub it all over my face really good. Let it sit for a minute then rinse it off. I can't even begin to tell you what a difference it's made on my skin. No more pimples, and it's evened out my complexion. And for $2.00!! Well, plus my amazing bar of $1.60 Organic soap so, actually for $3.60!
Yogurt works by killing the bacteria on your face, and it's bacteria that causes pimples. So the next time your at the grocery store pick up some Plain Non-Fat Yogurt (That way you can eat it too) because trust me it works!
Sugar:
Forget about expensive exfoliating products. I've tried them all and Plain sugar works just as good, if not better at scrubbing off those dead skin cells. You can put a bit in your face wash too, instead of spending big bucks on expensive face exfoliates. I like to get a little bowl, mix sugar with abit of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil and bring that into the shower with me. Nothing makes my skin more soft and glowing. You can even add a bit of honey to that mix too.
It's sooooo important to exfoliate your skin a couple times a week. It removes dead skin cells so new ones can form and revitalizes your skin. But don't do it too much, acouple days a week is enough. Even once a week is fine. Exfoliating is harsh on your skin and too much is not good.
So the next time your about to shower bring a bowl of sugar with you and try it out. You'll probably find you'll never have to purchase an exfoliate from the store ever again.
Lemons:
Lemons work similar to Yogurt. It works by killing the bacteria on your skin. And I'm not talking about Lemon Juice that comes in a jar, I mean a real Lemon. Adding a few drops to your face wash will kill the bacteria on your face preventing any breakouts from happening.
Also, if you want to get rid of a pimple but don't want to put on that yucky white pimple cream that doesn't even work half the time and drys out your skin, stick your finger or a q-tip in the lemon and put that right on the pimple. If your using your finger make sure your hands are clean. Do that before going to bed and by morning your face should be clear. It works for me.


Just a tip. Keep your Sugar Scrub away from your dog. Dogs are afraid of Sugar. LOL.
Don't believe me? Watch this video that has nothing to do with beauty tips but it's soooo funny!

Britney Spears- Worst Dressed Person in the World?

So today I'm going to keep my blog simple. I'm still hungover from Saturday so my brains not working very well.
Let's take a look at Britney's crazy sense of Style. We all know Britney is the Worst dressed person on the face of this earth so making fun her is just too easy. Though it isn't nice to make fun of people with mental disorders...I can't resist



The picture at the bottom, in the middle. That's not a dress. It's Lingerie. They sell something similar, it might even be the same one, at Victoria Secret. Oh Britney, what wouldn't you do for attention. I don't get it. If I had that much money I would hire Rachel Zoe to style me and live in Gucci and Prada outfits with Christian Louboutin shoes All day long. I've seen hookers on crack downtown who dress more put together then Britney. The picture above where she's with Paris and her saggy boobs are flopping out she has on only one stocking and her hair is a rats nest. And what is she trying to hide with those hats and sunglasses? Dialated pupils?
How many times can she wear those ugly brown cowboy boots?
Anyways, she obviously loves being the queen of tabloid magazines or she would hire a stylist and get herself together. Or maybe she's just too coked out to care.
Whatever the reason is this girl needs help.
Leave your Brit comments in the comment section at the end of this blog :)

Another Crazy Outfit

???????????????????????????????




What is this???! No seriously, I'm not even trying to be mean, I just honestly want to know what this is. Parachute straps? unattached suspenders? A harness? Was she dared to wear this? This was taken at 77. People usually look good when they go to 77, so what the hell is this? Maybe she didn't have any accessories to go with her outfit. So she found a long piece of ribbon and wrapped it around herself. Hey at least it matches, somewhat. Doesn't the girl have friends to tell her she looks crazy. I know I would NEVER let one of my friends go to the club looking so deranged. Not that my friends would wear something so crazy, but you know what I mean.

Anyways, It's really bothering me to know what that is hanging around her thighs. If you know or have a guess at what is it Please leave it in the comment box, which is at the end of today's blog.

What to Wear Wednesday

Today I'm posting acouple pics of outfits I like. It was really hard to find even just 2. I searched through Hamilton club pics from various sites and really had a hard time. I found tons that were hideous. And 2 that were great. There were alot of average outfits but, I wasn't looking for average. It seems like what most females wear out to clubs is a simple tank top and jeans. Or a tank top and skirt. No accessories, nothing that sets them apart from the hundreds of other ladies at the club. Where's the fun it? Don't you want to stand out? Step your game up ladies!


If you have a pic of yourself in a Fabulous outfit, send it to me and I'll post it next Wednesday.




Stylish girl #1




This is the perfect club outfit. She looks stylish and confident. Its hard to see the shoes but from what I see they look great. Open toe heeled sandals look great with skinny jeans. I love skinny jeans.. Anyways, the shirt is great too. It's eye catching but not in a "hey look at me" way. And the pastel purple looks good on her. The accessories are what makes or breaks an outfit. You can have on amazing clothes but if you pair it with a not so amazing purse, necklace and/or earrings then it just makes the clothes look ugly. Of course good accessories can do the opposite. They can take an average outfit and make it look fabulous. Anyways, back to what she's wearing.
I love long necklaces and dangle earrings. They look great together. And the gold watch is a nice touch too. I absolutely loooooove handbags. So the hand bag just ties it all together to create one fab outfit.



Stylish girl #2









This outfit might be a little over the top for some people, but I love it! This is definitely a girl who is going to stand out in a club. I don't normally like jean skirts, I think there too casual for the club. It's more something you'd wear to the beach. But she dresses it up so it doesn't look casual, at all. I really like the corset tank top. Its revealing but not too revealing. But it's definitely the accessories that make this outfit. Big belts are the best. You can take just about any plain outfit, add a big belt and it instantly adds flavour to your outfit. Like I said, I love dangle earring so these are great and the necklace goes perfect with it. A long or even medium length necklace wouldn't go as nice with the cut of this shirt so the choker is a great pick. The bracelets go good with the belt,earrings and necklace. And if you're going to wear bangle bracelets don't just wear one, wear a bunch. Tons of bangle bracelets are another thing that can spice up a boring outfit. The last thing that makes this outfit stunning is confidence. This is clearly a confident women. She's not hunched over, she's not hiding behind her friends, she's standing straight and looking great. So really no matter what you're wearing if you have a lot of confidence, just about anything will look great on you.

Beauty Tip Tuesday

Today is the first of many beauty tip Tuesdays. I am full of beauty tips because I'm addicted to magazines, which always have good tips, and have read quite a few books on todays topic. My favourite is 'The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets' by Kym Douglas and Cindy Pearlman. That book has the best info on inexpensive ways to have beautiful skin, hair, makeup. And they got all their info from Celebrities so you know its good advice.


Anyways, todays beauty tip is one of my favourites. It's something that is cheap and I absolutely can't live without it...Well I could, but I wouldn't want to. It's versatile and last a reeeally long time. Want to know what it is??


Its.....






Thats right my friends. The oldest trick in the book. I first learned about this amazing product while watching Tyra Banks's talk show where they were talking about her favourite beauty secrets and what products she uses. She said Vaseline was her favourite moisterizer. I was skeptical. But while I was at Shoppers one day I thought I'd pick some up. It's less then $5.00 so I thought even if it doesnt work I haven't wasted much. Let me tell you, it's worth the $5.00. I'm a firm believer in the saying "You get what you pay for" I thought if it's cheap it probably doesn't really work. This is not so, with most beauty products. Except makeup. Cheap makeup is gross.

I use to buy expensive makeup remover and went through it like crazy. Now I don't buy makeup remover anymore. Vaseline works Waaay better then the branded makeup removers. Just smear some on a Kleenex and whip it across your eyes to remove your eye makeup. There's no stinging like with soap, and it doesn't clog your pores. And a container of Vaseline last me months. Also, it's the best moisturizer ever. I put it on my hands to protect them from this brutal winter weather. It's important to moisturize your hands or they will get wrinkly when your older.

I swear by putting vaseline under your eyes before you go to bed. Your eye area is where you get wrinkles first. Vaseline is such an amazing moisturizer it will prevent that. It works even better if you dab some under eye cream or face moisturizer under your eyes first. Let it dry for a minute. Then dab on some Vaseline over top. This will create a barrier to seal in the moisturizer.
Lastly I put Vaseline on my lips like chapstick. If you just put a bit it's not too shiny, and it makes your lips nice and smooth. I do that before bed and also a couple times a day. Especially on days like this when the weather is so brutal. It's really long lasting and prevents you from getting chapped lips.


Watch Tyra raving about Vaseline:

my first blog

Ok so this is my first ever Blog. Not everyday is going to be making fun of what people are wearing. There's going to be Beauty Tips Tuesdays. And not with stupid beauty tips that don't really work but Good, life changing ones. What you should wear Wednesdays. Because not everyone is fashion challenged. So I'll post the best dressed on Wednesday. And you can get good ideas from what other people are wearing, just don't copy them, make it your own.


Fashion Victim #1

This is actually pretty interesting. It's conjoined twins! I watched a show on A&E a few weeks ago about these people...Anyways, I wonder how they decided to wear the same outfit? I'm guessing cheetah girl 1 said to cheetah girl 2 "Remember those Leopard dresses we bought at Sirens last week? Wouldn't it be cool if we both wore them to Sizzle tonight? Then we can tell guys we're twins"! So I'm pretty sure that's how there conversation went. I really can't imagine wanting to wear the same outfit as my friend to a club..Or anywhere for that matter. That's just weird and little creepy. Even the guy standing behind them thinks its funny.
So here's my advice to the conjoined cheetah girls. You need to get your own style. Don't wear the exact same thing as your friend. Have a style of your own that sets you apart from others. That way your sure to stand out, in a good way.


Fashion Victim #2
This picture was taken at Barcode..Surprise surprise.So I'm pretty sure I saw this dress hanging up in the window of Crystal Shoes downtown. And what's up with that random hole in the dress? It was probably in the discount bin because it's damaged. At least stitch it up before wearing it. Also, the dress clearly doesn't fit. If your a large, buy a large. There's no shame in that. If your a medium by a medium. But if your a bit bigger don't buy an extra small. Because it will make you look quite larger then you actually are. Secondly, invest in a strapless bra. No one wants to see your bra strap hanging off your shoulder. So here's my advice to stripperella. Even if you had a size that fits and a strapless bra, this dress would still be absolutely awful. Just don't wear it ever again. The shoes aren't bad. Pair them with a pair of jeans and a cute top and your set for a night of clubbing at Hamilton's classiest club, Barcode. So get rid of the dress..Now. And don't give it to Good Will or a friend. Just put it in the trash, or take it back to Crystal shoes and demanded a refund.
