Holiday Series Episode 2: Blue Christmas Makeup Tutorial (2011)

Hey everyone! Star here with another fabulous tutorial! This is episode 2 of my 2011 Holiday Series. This is a blue Christmas look. No, it's not meant to be sad or gloomy, I think it's fun and bright for the holidays and I decided to play around with the one of billion of L.A Color's palette's I have. This one is called "Tranquil". I decided to add some little blue gems that I got from the craft store on the side of my eye just to make the look POP and I went for a nude/pinkish lip. So I hope you all enjoy this tutorial and Happy Holidays! :-) As always a list of products that were used are below.

MAC's Festive Frost Face Kit Review

Hey everyone! So this is my 2nd product review EVER! This time I am reviewing the MAC Festive Frost Face Kit and let me start off by saying that this kit is AMAZING. I can honestly say this is one of the few collections from MAC that has put a smile on my face. Everyone needs this kit in their life, not just for the holidays but you can use this all year around (yes it comes with EVERYTHING you see in the picture, even the brushes) It's just a great quad of colors. The kit comes in a white compact with a plastic dome lid filled with liquid silver glitter. It is sooo cute! MAC is currently charging $59.50 for the kit which is not bad at all for what all is included with it. So let me start off with the eyeshadows. (I did not do swatches, sorry) From the top left going clockwise: "Once Upon a Time" is a sheer tannish color with a hint of pink, it's a beautiful color and so far I've only used it as a highlight but there is so much more you can do with that color. It'd be really gorgeous on the lid as well. The 2nd color is "Below Zero" which is a slightly shimmery dark brown/burgundy color. This color is so beautiful, the hint of burgundy just makes the color pop on your eyes. The 3rd color is "Embark" and it is a really RICH matte dark brown color. This is absolutely my favorite eyeshadow in the whole quad because it is a brown that can look amazing on any skintone especially women of color because it will not blend in with our skintone. I had the hardest time finding a brown eyeshadow for that exact reason. The forth color is called "Expensive Pink" and it's a shimmery pink with a hint of a champagne color. This pink is very vibrant and blends extremely well. For the lips, there is a "Imagine This" which is a light pink lipstick that has a tint of gold in it. Then, there's the lipglass in "Tra-la-la" which is a shimmery gold lipgloss. Both colors are very pretty and go well together (or you can use them separately) Also, there is a dusty rose colored blush included in the kit but I don't use it because it does not show up on my skin tone (bummer). The brushes that come in the kit are your average MAC brushes a fluffy brush for the cheeks or for powder and a lip brush as well as an angled brush. Like I said before, EVERYONE needs this kit in their lives. It is just that awesome. Well done, MAC.

MAC's 2011 Wonder Woman Collection Review (2011)

Hey guys! Star Strukk here with a review for the MAC Wonder Woman Collection that was released on 2/10/11. So I purchaced this collection with no excitement whatsoever thinking to myself "Eh, it's just MAC, it really has to be something AMAZING to blow me away" and luckily I did not get excited because as always MAC has found a new way to pull a fast one on their customers. So lets get into this "Wonder Woman" Collection. I decided to buy 3 out of the many products that they had to offer because even from a birds eye view, I was not impressed. The quads were unoriginal, they look similar to the other basic eyeshadows that MAC carries all year around and the blushes were even a bit too Barbie for me. I felt like the face products (blush/mineralize skin finishes) were not suitable for women of darker color (Unless your goal is to look like a clown). Even the sharpie-like Penultimate Eye Liner was nothing special. I bought a similar eyeliner from L.A Girls for $1.45 and it works WONDERS. MAC released four pigments from this collection and all I can say is four words: Been there, done that. The pigments that were in the WW collection, you can most likely purchase them any time of the year. There were no rare items and there was nothing that was needed to be purchaced on impulse. Now let's get into the opulash mascaras, there were four colors: Black (Black), Purple (Victorious), Blue (Themyscira) and Green (Army of Amazons). I purchased Themyscira to match my hair (of course). After one coat of mascara, I knew that this product was going to be a disappointment. The color did not show up whatsoever unless you were literally two inches near my face then maybe you could catch a GLIMPSE of the blue, but other than that you couldn't see a thing. Themyscira's got nothing on Dior's blue mascara. I even owned a mascara from Mary Kay that showed up a trillion times better than Themyscira. Now that tells you something.

The second and third products that I purchased from this collection were a lipstick and a lipglass. The lipstick was titled Spitfire and the lipglass was titled Athena's Kiss. I must admit, I did get a fuzzy feeling on the inside for these two products because, well, they're my two favorite things: Pink and Lipstick. So when I got home, of course these were the first things that I tried out. After looking in the mirror for about 2 minutes, I said "Hm. It's pretty, but it looks familiar" and I'm rummaging through my lipland collection in my bathroom and ahah! There's my trusty and faithful Girl About Town. (Also a MAC lipstick) So I did a swatch to see if I was crazy and what do I see: They're almost the EXACT same color. After that, I was through. I returned every last one of those products within the speed of light. It's like MAC just takes the same products and labels them with different names so we all can spend hundreds (even thousands) of dollars on duplicates.

Never again will I be sucked into another fictional character collection. Or any collection from MAC because I've seen it all before. MAC, you should really step your game up and get some brighter colors and stop tricking people into buying what they already own.

Wonder Woman? Pfft, more like Polly Pocket.

Bullying and Suicide: Take Action (2011)

Hey everyone. Sorry if I haven't spoken to you in a while, I've just been busy with work. Anyway, I'm going to try to make this as short as possible because I'm sure a lot of you probably don't want to read a novel right now.

I'm here to talk about a few things that are very serious to me: Bullying and Suicide. These two things have always been a huge deal to me and that will never change. After reading this article in People magazine about how these 3 kids killed themselves in the past month, it ripped my heart into pieces. I just couldn't imagine something like that happening to someone that I care about, and I want to let everyone know that you're not alone.

Now, if you guys don't mind, I'm going to get a bit personal to prove to you guys that I know what you're going through and that I'm here for you.

Growing up, I was bullied. It wasn't as HUGE of a deal as it is today, I was never hit or anything but that doesn't that what I went through didn't hurt. I was always picked on by boys for some reason: From kindergarten up until 9th grade, I was verbally abused. They made fun of my weight, called me ugly, said they were going to kill me. It was awful, and I really did want to die but instead I took action. This might sound cowardly, but it's the RIGHT thing to do. I went to my parents; they're the only ones who cared enough to help. Every time something happened, they went right down to the school and spoke to the teachers and just in a matter of days, things changed.

But enough about me, I just want to let you guys know that if you're being bullied or physically/verbally abused by ANYONE: don't just sit there and do nothing; TAKE ACTION. Talk to someone, parents, a family member and if you can't find anyone to talk to or find someone who will take action, talk to ME. That's what I'm here for. I'll always try to give you advice and if I can't, I'll just be there to pray for you because whether you believe it or not, prayer does change but I will never know what’s wrong with you until you tell me. Please don't keep it bottled in.

Just because something goes wrong in your life, you don't have to up and try to kill yourself. We can't always get our way that's for sure. A lot of people just use suicide as a way to get attention which is pretty pathetic. If you need attention that bad to the point where you're trying to end your life, then you need to see a certified psychologist. Remember: We all have our ups and downs in life; you just have to find somebody that you can relate to and be sure to keep your head up no matter how hard things get.

Well, that's all I have to say for right now. I hope I got through to you guys. Thanks for reading and God Bless.

Welcome To My New Blog!

Hey everyone! It's Star (Formerly known as XxNoOrdinaryStarxX) I decided to make a new blog to go along with my new Youtube account (www.youtube.com/SceneGirlBarbie).
