Beauty Buzz: Beauty Bamboozle

By Kirsten|November 13th, 2013|Beauty Buzz|

Society basically demands perfection from women these days. That’s a lot of pressure and I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time for all of that. So in order to cut some corners and fake the beauty funk, there are a few tricks of the trade that will have you looking effortlessly beautiful in much less time, pain, and money than one might think. Be a beauty magician and pull some tomfoolery on these fools.

Bumble and bumble Spraychalk: Adding a pop of color to your coif became a whole lot easier with this spray on chalk. You could always do it the old fashion way though…
St. Tropez Tanning Essentials Kit: The best thing you can do for your skin is not fry it with UV rays. This kit makes it possible to be sunkissed without wrinkling.
Buxom Full-On Lip Cream: Rather than suffer through painful needles, pucker up with a lip plumping gloss first.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo: There’s a reason Brooke Shields and Cara Delevingne are beauty icons. Those brows. Fill yours in and transform your face.
Color Wow Root Cover Up: Save time and cash by covering up unsightly roots with a temporary touch up ’til you can get to the salon.
Sephora Collection Day, Night, and Glam Lash Set: Nothing adds drama like a pair of false lashes. Be sure and watch this video pre-application so as to avoid any accidents.
Sarah Chapman Skinesis Facialift: Before going under the knife, try this at home tool that claims to sculpt facial contours, reduce puffiness, and even prevent jawline breakouts.
Batiste Dry Shampoo: The best way to disguise an overdue blowout is with dry shampoo although there are a few other clever ways to disguise a bad hair day.

Abracadabra!

Why Did You Wear That: Let’s Make Beautiful Music Together

By Kirsten|November 19th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Red Carpet Recap, Why Did You Wear That?|

Another year, another round of award shows doling out little metal trophies to folks who may or may not deserve them. But the fun is not in who wins what as much as it is in who wears what. So, let the self tanner application, lapses in style judgement, and wardrobe malfunctions begin and let’s kick things off with last night’s American Music Awards.

While it’s been a while since I’ve tuned in, some things remain exactly as they did a year ago… and beyond. These include but are not limited to:

They’re still letting Chris Brown perform. Why they even let him out of his cage, I’ll never know, but this white girl won’t be dancing like it’s her birthday when his songs come on. Ever.
Jenny McCarthy is still hot.
You still can’t touch MC Hammer.
Christina Aguilera still wears leotards when she probably shouldn’t (but she can still sing like nobody’s business, so we’ll give her a pass).
Pitbull is still making songs that don’t make any logical sense in English or Spanish.
Crowding the stage with babes in bedazzled bustiers will still cover up any bad performance.
Taylor Swift is still singing about some boy who did her wrong in something that resembles a bad prom dress not like the La Femme prom dress that you can find online.
Nicki Minaj is still in need of a time out.
Pink could still kick your ass.
No Doubt is still as rad as ever.

And while it’s nice to have a bit of stability in your life, I’m a little concerned about America’s choices in music. Perhaps that’s a better indicator of the state of our nation? One thing that does seem to be changing is Justin Bieber’s voice (anyone else catch that?) which was quite clear after hearing him dedicate his win to the “haters” (he realizes he’s an eighteen year old 98lb white kid, right?). So, I decided I was going to come up with my own award categories that seem much, much more important:

Best Legs:

Color of the Evening:

Most in Need of a New Hairstyle:

So, let’s step it up, folks. We’ll consider this a “warm up.” A “rehearsal” if you will. Last time I checked, which was just now, my socks are still on, so no one particularly blew me away. Bring on the crazy… I’ve gotta have something to write about.

10 Things I Dislike ALMOST As Much As Leggings Worn As pants

By Kirsten|February 12th, 2009|The List|

obnoxious

I think it’s pretty clear how I feel about leggings worn as pants, but there are more things in the world that disturb me nearly as much. Here’s the top ten:

True Religion jeans. No need to explain again.
Rude men. I don’t like rude people in general, but a rude man is the worst. What happened to being a gentleman?
Blowing your nose in public. There is a girl who sits near my desk at work and she has been blowing her nose continuously for the past two weeks. It’s taken everything in me not to just spazz out, especially when she ate tuna fish for lunch the other day.
Know it alls. You don’t know everything. Shut up.
Dried apples. Had a bad experience as a five year old. Have never quite recovered.
Logo handbags/clothing/etc. It’s so passe, especially during a recession. We get it, you have a Fendi bag.I won’t lie, I own a Louis Vuitton bag, but I couldn’t tell you the last time I carried it. I try not to be a walking advertisement. I prefer the understated. *Note: this rule goes out the window if your logo bag happens to be awesome and vintage. That’s the only time it’s cool.
Liars. Maybe it is because I have the guiltiest conscience in the world and probably couldn’t tell a lie to save my life, but I really have a hard time understanding why people lie. The truth hurts, but it also sets you free.
Fake tans, fake nails, fake hair. Gross, gross, grossest. By fake tan, I do mean tanning beds. I also mean poorly done self tanners. Cancer and wrinkles aren’t sexy and neither is looking like a tangerine. I don’t even know where to begin with fake nails and as far as fake hair, do you want to look like you have the same hairdresser as a Barbie doll?
Catty, bitchy, jealous girls and cougars. I have no time for petty girls/women who lack self confidence. Please do not take out your insecurities on women who clearly have it going on. Not our fault you don’t feel good about yourself. Get a hobby. That’s a good place to start.
Pilling sweaters. I hate those little nerd balls. They never go away, do they?

So there you have it. Things that ruffle my feathers almost as much as wearing leggings as pants (I’m sure I’ll think of more). I realize I have just made myself incredibly vulnerable to people coming up to me and blowing their noses while wearing True Religions, but feels good to vent. Send in some of your very least favorite things.
