Happy Halloween!

Finallly! A post NOT bout books or movies! This time is about makeup :)
Today at my school we celebrated halloween. I was a vampire-hippy/ dead hippy with blood on her face....

Photos Taken Courtesy of my friend Mellissa (she has an awesome pro camera!)
If you want to do this look for halloween either go watch a mini-tutorial tomorrow on YouTube orrrrr you can read this:

First prime your face
Next, take a soft wedge sponge and dip it in some white face paint (liquid is the best)
Now set it with translucent powder... if you do it with white powder you run the risk of overdoing it)
Conture your cheek either with a DARK bronzer or some like browny liquid makeup you can get at haloween stores. This is gonna help with the dead sunken in look.
Now your gonna need to accentuate your dark circles. For me this is a night mare because they are the one thing I want to cover up. Use a dark purple eyeshadow on a fluffy eyeshadow brush and loose sleep in secconds!!
Now make some pretty eye makeup, like a rusty red on the lid with black along the crease, long black eyeliner, lots of dark mascara, some red lips and POOF!  your now a blood sucking vampire!
To get that  real-fake blood you can buy htem in tubes or baggies anywhere around halloween time. To be percise if you want it somewhere speacial use a brush or if you couldn't care less drip it straight from the tube!
Hope you have fun!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Freaky Coincidence: Alex Pettyfer & Emma Stone

OMG! OMG! OMG!

So in my last post I mentioned how I found the perfect Jace Wayland for the Mortal Instrument's series by Cassandra Clare...

And then I said how I had found out that Emma Stone was officially going to be playing Clary in the Official movie comeing out in 2012...

Well look at this movie poster:

OMG!

Emma Stone did not star in Beastly, Vanessa Hudgens did, but thats beside the point...

Lol, I'm not sure if you can see my point, I'm not even sure I do so...

All I have to say is WOW!
and

and I want to see Beastly now too!

haha

The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare


So this is the latest series that I am waaayyy into. It is amazing. I like my fantasy books but I hate it when they go way over the top. This one is a perfect balance of normal and absolutely strange.
Cassandra Clare has created an amazing world. it has its own government, own country, bad guys and the works.
There are tons of twists and secrets that push the fast paced story along.

I recently typed the title in on YouTube and I found the perfect casting for Jace: Alex Pettyfer

If He doesn't make you want to read the book than I don't know what will.

Also, the book is being made into a movie... which is amazing. I think its going to be released in 2012. The only disappointing thing is Emma Stone will be playing Clary and right now I can only see her as the Easy A girl. But oh well. I am sure it will still be amaaazing.
