The Pink Stars are Falling (in purple)

 
 
 
 Yeah, I'm a watcher of Under the Dome. Really it's been the best TV series I've watched! But this post isn't about The Dome. It just came to mind when I took the shot above with the sky was so red. It looked like the time that they thought the outside world had been destroyed.

Blouse:

   No Boundaries

   RN#44480
   Color: Purple
   Style: FFNJ32006T

    To go with the Under the Dome theme we have a butterfly blouse! I have another in blue with stars.
   There is a lot going on in the front. Five ruffles going own the front so it might not be advisable for a larger in the bust lady to try this style. I'm a 32 A/B. (do you realize how hard it is to find underwear in a 32 ?!?!)
   The fabric is sheer so you need a tank top or such underneath. I'm wearing a blue top here.

Pants:
  Faded Glory
Size 8A
   You can also see these in this outfit too... Hitting the Runway





Makeup

• Cover Girl Black/Brown Blaze FLAMED OUT MASCARA
• L.A. Colors BabyPOP Eye Shadow
• Wet N Wild FERGIE +FergieVEVO  CENTER STAGE COLLECTION PERFECT POUT LIP COLOR A040 D-Vinely Chilled

    Looking at the reviews for Cover Girl Black/Brown Blaze FLAMED OUT MASCARA quite a few people hated it. I personally think it's a good natural looking mascara in opposed to the dark black ones I normally wear. It's easy to put on without a mess, but as for the wands they give you... I'm still trying to figure out how to use them right! I found instructions on for this here... FLAMED OUT MASCARA Apparently I have not been doing it quite right... well, now I know... we'll see how that goes next time... :-)

    Going with purple with the eyes too. This is a special stocking stuffer set from this Christmas. I'm a bit impressed with L.A. Colors eye shadow. Very shiny pearlescent look. Check out L.A. Colors Shadow's Dance Shadow for more about my experience with LA Color's Eye Shadow, it's DANCE PROOF!


   There was a BOGO half off sale and so for my get one I took a chance with Wet N Wild FERGIE CENTER STAGE COLLECTION PERFECT POUT LIP COLOR  . Why? The glitter! This color stood out from the others in the collection because it had a glitter to it. It's a nice purple red hue. Wasn't sure how I was going to like it but I made a good chose. It lasts well too. The best way to put it on I have found is put a coat on clean lips and let it sit there for a few minutes. Reapply again. You can even do this a third time. Try it and let me know if it works for you!!!

Accessories

• Necklace

    Mystic Blue Topaz, remember these? They were so pretty! I don't see them anymore. This necklace is a simulated Topaz. I got this one because it matched a real Mystic Blue Topaz ring I already had. But real or not "Mystic Topaz" is a treated clear stone with a coating on the back to make it iridescent. So they may not last forever but they are really pretty and thus far the coating has not chipped or done anything weird yet. I've had this one over 10 years now.

And going back to the +Under The Dome theme....




Her HAIR

(need I say more?)

How would I look as a red head?

Winter Blues for Super Party

Jacket:
GEORGE ME (by Mark Eisen)

    A classic looking black jacket by GEORGE ME. A line carried by Walmart. The thing about this line is that some from the line are cheaply made but others are so well made that they don't look like something that came from Wal-mart! The reason for this is Walmart teamed up with Mark Eisen to create a higher in designer line for Walmart. I really don't think it went over that well being it is getting harder if at all to find a thing of quality on the Walmart clothing racks. And really I found a lot of my GEORGE ME were found at a clearance price and thrown with cheaper quality articles.

Shirt
Poof Couture
Size L
Modern

   This is a fun style sweater. I got it at a Joyce Leslie, a clothing store found in the NY area. +Joyce Leslie  They have cute modern stylish clothes and if you catch the sales right you can really get some deals.
   This sweater has sequins woven in the whole piece. I will admit those could be rough on bare skin.
   One side of the arm there is a real working zipper.

Skirt

Chaus
Size 6
Made in Taiwan
RN 51325
Vintage - 1980's

   I did not realize this skirt was that old. I've had it for years. I have two black skirts. One long. One short. After moving to NY I discovered I brought the short one but not the long one! Finally at last I have been reunited again!
   It's a circle skirt. It's labeled as a 6 but it's a very small 6. Perhaps due to it being vintage and I thing someone may have moved over the hooks on the waist band.
   I don't recall ever seeing the following on a content label...
34% Triacetate
45% Polyester
   Triacetate?! Click link to find out what it has to do with photography!

Make-up

• Wet n Wild Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stain Fergie Line +FergieVEVO  "Ball in Vienna"

   I'll only highlight the lips here. I was on the way to a Super Bowl party after church so I'm not even sure what was on my face besides the lip stain.
   This was a, I like the color on this model and lets find it on the shelf beneath but the color in not named in the photo! This color looked the closest and I'm happy with the choice!
   I also mention "Ball in Vienna" in "Party With the Young'uns" HERE
   A very bright rich color and lasting. Feels weird at first but once it sets it's pretty lasting! I would like to get my hands on another color but they are hard to find. I've only found them at two Walgreens. Id like to find it in a redder red. It's very glossy! I like MEGA LAST® LIQUID LIP COLOR but it's not as glossy as this gloss.

Party With the Young'uns

  A lot of family get-togethers revolve around birthday
parties. The latest was my cousin's littlest. In past parties I have ended up getting dropped in a dunking booth and sliding down one of those blow up kid's things...

Dress:
  Bisou Bisou
 Size 4
 Modern

  This is a wrap around dress made out of a swim suit type fabric. When I found this I loved the fact the fabric looked like peacock feathers! Peacock feathers remind me of Princess Jasmine... so, yeah I'm a Aladdin Fan. (not ashamed... or trying to not be)
  Bisou Bisou was created by Michele Bohbot and Bisou means "A Little Kiss" in French. On their site the latest line shown is the 2012 Spring Collection. So not sure if this line is manufactured any more.
  Really this dress has a very 40's look to it. The fabric kind of outshines a lot of the details.
  A ray of pin tucks from the left side to the center right. The sleeves are caped at the elbow. I had short pants underneath. Wrap skirts can show too much if your not careful! This one didn't give me much trouble.

Shoes:
  Flip Flops
Size 9

  I don't know what the brand of these are. I've had them for a while. They are a dark pink with glitter. Have some purple sequined heels that would go great with this but alas... not a good idea at a party involving water slides.

Makeup:

Face

• Elf Zit Zapper
• Loreal Paris +lorealparisnyc  Sublime Sun Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 100 Sheer Lightweight Lotion
• N.Y.C. New York Color Cover Stick 782A Medium
• Cover Girl Clean 225 Buff Beige
• E.L.F. +e.l.f. Cosmetics  HD Blush #83231 Headliner

  Gluten issues getting you down? Like Dermatitis Herpetiformis? Pull out your handy Zit Zapper! Yes, it's made for use on common zits but it also dose a good job of soothing and removing redness from what I call "Gluten Bumps". This stuff is pretty nice! I've been through I don't know how many achne products over the years and this is one of the best and most simple ideas that actually work!
  This year it was too hot to even sit outside for very long but I prepared for if I did spend very long in the sun. I burn and maybe turn a darker shade of pale as a result. So I'm even more not a fan of the sun. Sunburns HURT!!! If I know I'm going to be in the sun much I like to use a sun screen moisturizer and I found Loreal's on clearance and thought I'd give it a try. I hate most sunscreen due to the smell and yucky feeling. I would recommend this! The smell is pleasant and you can put makeup on top of it and not have a total mess.
  Now after treating your "Gluten Bumps" with the Zip Zapper and letting that dry. Cover it with NYC Cover stick then hit the cheeks with a dab and I mean a dab as this stuff goes a LONG way, E.L.F HD Blush. Too much and you will look like you have a sunburn! ;-)

Eyes

• Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black
• Maybelline NY Color Tattoo 24hr By Eyestudio Limited Edition 15 "Blue Paradise"

  Again using Define-a-lash Very Black. It's been pretty much the only mascara I've been using lately.
  COLOR TATTOO!!!! I have been wanting to try this stuff for years now!! Finally got my hands on two colors. I have it in this Limited Edition Blue and another orange color. Haven't had the chance to try the orange but the blue! Oh, it's fun! A very iridescent effect! It looks better on your skin then when it's just sitting in the jar. And yes, it lasts very well! Check out the colors they still make, I'm liking the Teal!

Lips

• Wet n Wild Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stain Fergie Line +FergieVEVO  "Ball in Vienna"

  A fav of mine right now! People who only wear expensive brands need to get over themselves! This stuff is REALLY good. I still had some of it on my lips the NEXT DAY! I came across this while looking for Pinkerbelle in a Walgreens that didn't carry it but next to the normal brand of Wet n Wild I saw the Fergie line. And I saw a picture of a girl with a color on her lips I really liked. They didn't say what the color was though! Looked around at the colors and this matched the most so I bought it. Glad I did!

Jewelry

• Avon clip-on earrings

  I do not re-call the name of these earrings but they came from Avon when I sold Avon. I got them at a discounted price because they were discontinued. I have earrings and a matching necklace. I don't wear them together cause they are such large bold pieces that it would just be too much. I've had people remark that they look old and they are correct. They do have an early turn of the century look to them. Maybe that's part of the reason I like them so much. Antique look and in pink with rhinestones! Oh, and they came as clip-ons! I do not have pierced ears.

Scent

• Elizabeth Taylor's Passion

  This smells like flowers! Paper whites, maybe? It's also a pretty strong scent. I like to wear this often. It's not fruity but not earthy either. I tend to go for fruity but this is nice when I'm in an in between mood. Totally smells nothing like anything else I have!

Nails

• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color 210 "Flirt"
• Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Color C238C "Party of Five Glitters" By Markwins 

  As I said. I'm not a big manicure fan. If in the mood I paint my nails and I like to be fancy weird about it. I remember my first two bottles of nail polish my mom let me by at a dollar store. One was dark fuschia and the other gold. I had never seen it done before but I came up with painting gold streaks over the fuschia. Wasn't I clever...
  Anyway, people have been layering polish for years. But I particularly like this combo. The first color is a deep deep blood red. Not a color I thought I'd like very much but I bought it on sale needing it for a project I was working on and I was surprised I actually liked the color as nail polish!
  The clear coat with glitter really works easily. Best clear coat glitter I have ever used!


Party Time!

  I'm really trying not to cheat on my Gluten Free diet (It's unpleasant when I do so that does help matters) but I do at birthday parties and weddings because I don't get sick much when I eat cake. I think part of the reason of this is that Gluten is taken out of cake rather then added to it.
  But look at what my cousin managed to do with cake! I've seen this on Pinterest but never in person! Pretty cool, hu?!

  (And yeah... she's a knock-out... the model I spoke of HERE ... got some good genes running in my family.) +Tiffany Jernigan

Hitting the Runway

  While I'm VERY familiar with the stage, the runway is a little more new to me. It's just my personality to want to master everything I jump into. Modeling is more my talented cousin's world but I give it a try now and then. After all, I've played a statue for two years... basically the same as mannequin modeling... yeah, I'm pretty good at that one! Lol....

  So I auditioned recently for a fashion show. Thought I'd share my attire for the venture...
____________________

Top:
  Attention
Size M

  Such a pretty top. The upper part is a lined crop top and the lace extends below the waist. So you can see through the bottom part.

Pants:
  Faded Glory
Size 8A

  I'm not a fan of Jeans but I'm warming up to them now that they make them pretty! Spandex makes them a little more comfortable then they use to be as well. Can't see the back in this pic but they have on both pockets embroidery and rhinestones in a cross like shape. There's also a bit on the pocket watch pocket.
  I remember the day of buying these and the sizes were crazy! I went through several before finding these that fit. I have another pair of skinny jeans that are a 6. These at an 8A fit just a tad bit loser if at all then my 6's. No wonder they were on clearance! Forget going by size! Lesson in this, get the size that fits! Not the size you wish you were! There are no regulations on sizing clothes anymore. There use to be but not anymore. I wear a Vintage dress size 8 (size pre 1980) and a modern size dress range between 4 - 6.

Shoes:
  Solos by Softspots
Size 9
Made in China

  Man made gold shade leather with metal rings. Around a 4 inch heel. They were on sale and they fit. Nuf said ;-)


Makeup

  Face:

• Love My Eyes concealer stick Light
• Cover Girl +COVERGIRL Clean 220 Creamy Natural Pressed Powder
• Avon Shimmer bronzing "Shake and Go" Powder Brush Light
• Shimmer Powder Brand unknown (came in a Walmart Christmas set)

  You need to have healthy nice looking skin to go under the microscope of being a model. I have not had that for many years of my life due to gluten.
 I went simple on this cause they want to make you up. not see your idea of what crazy makeup they can give you.
  The concealer stick is for any spots that may need a touched up or brightened. Also good to use around your eyes as a base for your eye shadow.
  The pressed powder sets the concealer stick so don't put powder where you want your eye shadow because is will be pointless as that will be what sets your eye shadow.
  Again a little Avon Shimmer bronzing and Shimmer powder... but don't go crazy, you want you to be the focus.

Eyes:

• Revlon +Revlon Trends  Luxurious Color Diamond Dust 110 Starry Lust
• Maybelline NY Define-a-lash Mascara Very Black

  Didn't want to put on much eye make-up. Went with a light coat of Revlon Diamond Dust. Did I mention I love glitter... :-) I don't think that they make these anymore. I got my hands on a number of colors in the Diamond Dust line at a store that sells over stock and discontinued items.
  Again I dawned Maybelline NY Define-a-lash. I would buy this stuff again... if they don't discontinue production on it like they did my favorite Maybelline XXL Curl Power Volume Mascara!

Eye Brow

• Hard <3 Candy Single and Loving it 517 "Night Out" eye shadow

  I use to use an Avon eyeliner to darken my eye brows but this put on with a stiff angled brush works just as well or better and I don't have to worry about having to sharpen it!

Lips

• Wet n Wild Vicious Varnish High Shine Lip Stain Fergie Line +FergieVEVO  "Ball in Vienna"

  Wanted to wear a more natural color but some how ended up with a touch of "Ball in Vienna". More of a fashion pop color (which I love) then just a natural red.

Nails

• Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel N403 Ruby Slipper

  I have a lipstick that matches this color... I wanted to wear it... I couldn't find it!!! Grr...
  Avon nail polish is not bad. Not the best I have used but not the worst. This color is not as glossy as I think it could be. It's a little flat when it comes to depth but a nice color and a gloss finish coat might fix the flat look... but I was in a hurry. Avon is nice cause it's easy to apply and dries pretty quickly. It's lasting time varies. May have something to do with how I applied it. I'm just not big on nail polish but use it to look polished or to protect my nail when I'm working with wire. (I'm a jewelry and costume designer) That can do a number on your nails!

Jewelry

• Belt Loop Dangles

Anyway I can make blue jeans girly! I don't remember the brand. Fun piece! Clips to your belt loops with three brightly colored feathers hanging by faux leather along with some other dangles by chains.
