From Beauty's to Beastly . . .

"See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... " - John Bender

Ah, how it pleasures me to quote one of the best movies I have ever seen in my 19 years, The Breakfast Club. I think Bender said it best we may be born one way, but not always does this hold true to the rest of your life, it may be a few horrible decisions or maybe just genes either way; with age a lot of people start falling apart. There are only two men I know of who were born good looking and died good looking, and those men are undeniably Paul Newman and my Papa. I think we can all agree on the fact that Paul Newman was a complete babe and silverfox . . .


And as for my Papa although I do not have pictures at the moment I will upload later and you should just take my word on it :)

Now to the truth of the quote, unfortunately time has not been good to some men and I am here to point this out for everyone to see and just bluntly say it how it is, YOU USE TO BE HOT. (Keyword: Use) Let's see who went from beauty's to beastly and gasp at the horror of once was and now is.

Ryan O'Neal
 First I would like to say I loved you in Love Story. But my friend time has not been very nice to your physical or emotional being, you have completely lost your mind. I guess it is debatable if you ever were sane but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Now on to that appearance, what happened to that chiseled jaw, with the naked eye I can count 5 chins, sir you have put me to shame. And could I please point out what should be the obvious in this picture... Where are your eyebrows! Surly to god you can afford a make up artist, brighten those babies up or at least fake it! For Christs sake, you married Farrah Fawcett.

Jack Nicholson
Jesus Jack, ya maybe at one time the whole eyebrow thing was sexy but dude it's time to give it a rest and maybe get them waxed. And I just don't get the shades, I mean we get it, your old and you need glasses. But wearing glasses that look like sunglasses doesn't hide the fact and your just feeding in to all of Corey Hart's bullshit, it's not cool to wear your sunglasses at night. There I said it. And the cigarette I mean this speaks for it's self I love this guy but he may very well be a heart attack waiting to happen and that is the sad truth. I think Jack has potential to be a good looking older guy, he just needs to take better care of himself. But I guess that one flew over the Cuckoo's nest a long time ago.

Mickey Rourke
I think this one is pretty self explanatory he spent a little time in the slammer, got a little bit too into the illegal paraphernalia and alc. And now he looks like the male version of Joan Rivers! Seriously Mickey, you could bounce a quarter of that face; it's THAT tight. What happened. . .

John Travolta
I don't think anyone can confidently explain this one and do it justice, ever. It's like his head got four times bigger and his jaw got oddly wide. I just can't wrap my head around this one. I mean his features are almost too small for a head that size, like the head to features ratio is just so unbalanced. And the whole Scientology stint and Tom Cruise, I mean anything to do with Tom Cruise immediately turns me off... But that head. . .

Sylvester Stallone
Just looking at this man's face now is puzzling. I am concerned. In about 2 year this man will not even be able to talk which may be an improvement from his constant mumbling. Its called annunciation. It's almost as if he is a Mister Potato head and all the kids put all the pieces in the wrong spot. I mean, I am convinced that I could do a better job then his plastic surgeon working out of the back of a Chinese restaurant, using old heroin needles and a paring knife. Come on!

Mel Gibson
I think we can all agree that this man always had a little something, something to him. And come on he played a great Braveheart who doesn't like a man in a kilt. I challenge you! But as of the last couple years with the drunken racism, abuse charges and movies about beavers. He has lost a bit of that charm. I mean this one disappoints me! He was John Smith; yes John Smith from friggin Pocahontas. He has my first crush. You let me down Mel, you let me down!

Robert De Niro
I was truly torn with this one. I still don't believe that he is that bad looking today. But, his profile is just not as impressive. I will always love him though and he will always love 'em black ladies.

Harrison Ford
This one is not that bad either. But what you do have to look at here is him in comparison to his Indian Jones days because he was at his prime. And now, not so much. And Harrison I got three words for you: lose the earrings. Or else your bound to lose them forever. All I am saying is that ears get saggy and so do holes and what is stopping that whole from eating that earring up.

Corey Haim
Lost Cause.

Andrew McCarthy
Omgstache that Dad did, OKAY!

Judd Nelson
This one really pains and upsets me so I will make it fast. He used to be the perfect rebel, but I don't know WTF happened . . . Wah! This had to be a 90's phase.

Alec Baldwin
When I was younger I had the hardest time wrapping my head around the fact that his name was Alec and not Alex. I just couldn't grasp it. Ya, this guy is funny even to this day but I got a couple notes about what went wrong here. Number one, he looks like that creepy uncle everyone has and two, he looks like he ate a small child.


And there it is men who used to be hot but are no longer. If you have any suggestions or complaints please comment below! Also, I may be adding to this list so check it out from time to time! I hoped you all enjoyed this as much I as I enjoyed blogging this!

My apologizes to Bruce Willis truth is, you were never and still are not good looking to make this list, stop trying. Your pissing me off!

Eyebrow S.O.S . . .

You Must Never Underestimate The Power Of The Eyebrow - Jack Black . . .

So as of lately it has become undeniable obvious that I am in need of some eyebrow TLC. So for the last month I have been killing myself looking for some sort of eyebrow kit preferably one with a serum for hold; because god blessed me with bushy eyebrows . . I don't know why, but the idea of waxing my eyebrows really freaks me out; I guess I am scared that because it is so fast and "easy" that if I do get them done I may hate them and not be able to do anything about it. But, if I pluck or someone else plucks I can monitor how much is being plucked and when to stop. If that at all made sense :). To go along with this blog I found a fabulous quote by Jack Black, the master of the eyebrows; that man has the most expressive eyebrows of all time and the quote spells out some truth. Yes, he may be referring to his amazingly expressive eyebrows; but I think this quote holds true in general, that with maintenanceof your eyebrows it can balance out your facial features, it frames your eyes, it can make you look more youthful and redefined. There is no negative. Anyways, I found this awesome kit by e.l.f (eyes lips and face); which is a makeup company based in the U.K, and I love this product. It is from their eyebrow collection and it is called Summer Ready. I found this at Winners among the unorganized and insane amount of beauty product that they carry and it was only $5.99 + tax. The package comes with, four reusable stencils, tweezers, an eyebrow application brush, brow setting mascara and eyebrow gel and powder. Below I have listed a picture of each product and a summary of whether I liked it or not, enjoy :) ! !

This is the packaging it came in with all the products.

This is the eyebrow gel and powder. The gel is the darker brown on the left and the powder is the beige on the right. I really like this gel and powder. They are both lighter then my eyebrows which is great for blending and making my eyebrows appear natural and not colored in and instead achieve great definition. What I love most is that the gel is a really light gel that isn't sticky and almost applies like a powder. Over all I like this product and would give it a 8/10.


The tweezers that this package comes with are smaller in size but aren't made of really light, cheap material, and instead the heavier stuff. Which is the only beneficial thing about them really. They do pluck well, but if you are settling in for a major eyebrow pluck these are not the one's to use as they are just too small. But like I said they are good to maybe pop in your purse and use for plucking those stragglers. This product, I would give a 4.5/10.




This my favorite out of them all and the whole reason why I bought the package. I have heard many good things about it by youtubers Beauty Crush and Ugly Face of Beauty. And I have found to really like it too! It holds very good without making your eyebrows feel stiff or hard. I would give this product a 9/10.


This the e.l.f professional concealer brush that it came with. And I use this to apply the gel and powder on my eyebrows. Really simple, I like this brush it is soft, narrow, and doesn't eat up the product. I would give this a 8/10.




Finally, the stencils. I hate them. They don't work and are hard to use. Good idea but just not as easy as you would think. I would give these a 0/10 for the fact that they are useless.



All in all I enjoy most of these products and really like the results I have gotten so far. Enjoy, I hope this was helpful!!

Product Review : Go 360 Clean . . .


I am not one to do product reviews about anything really. But recently I was in a Winners store and was looking for a new facial cleanser. Always having used multiple different products from Clean and Clear, I wanted something different. And to be honest, I had never really seen much difference in my skin using these products before. So basically, I wanted something new. That is when I stumbled upon a display of L'oreal Paris facial Cleansers; and I literally mean stumble upon, I almost ate it!! Anyways I was looking at a bunch of different ones and found this go 360 clean cleanser. I really like the idea of the little gel facial scrubber it comes with, and it's pretty cute. Anyways, I bought it for six dollars and I am telling you it is the greatest product I have ever used on my skin. I will feel a pimple coming on one day and then use this product and I swear to God that the next day there is not a single trace of it anymore. I don't know if it is the actual cleanser or the neat little scrubber, but what ever it is... IT WORKS! I really like the smell of it too, it is like a really clean and fresh tea tree oil smell. The only neg I have discovered it does tend to dry out skin, but this can be attributed to using to often or not following up with a moisturizer. I have been a victim to both. Anyways, enough about this freaking cleanser. But if you are looking for something new I would really recommend this!!

DIY PORE STRIPS . . . For The Poor College Girl . .

So, being a college student I have quickly come to the realization that I cannot afford certain luxuries that I could afford before. As sad as this had made me L WAH! I have recently discovered many different DIY projects, (Do It Yourself). Although I haven’t got around to trying them all, I have tried a few and have had some pretty positive results. I would almost say that I enjoy doing these DIY projects over spending my money on over priced products that in the end, don’t work and that contain chemicals and additives that aren’t good for your skin/hair. At least this way I know firsthand what is being used in these mixtures, and it’s FUN! I have always had troubles with blackheads on my nose and so I found this great recipe for DIY pore strips. I have found them to work relatively well; better then the Biore strips I have paid for in the past that don’t work for me. J
HOW TO : DIY PORE STRIPS
So what you will need for this DIY is:
A Plastic Container.
A Popcicle Stick. (To Apply)
Measuring Spoons.
Milk.
Unflavored Gelatin.
DIY PORE STRIP DIRECTIONS:
1. Measure 1 tbsp. of the unflavored gelatin into your disposable container.
2. Add 1-2 tbsp. of milk into the gelatin.
3. Mix it all together until you get a sort of chunky consistency. If you are not loving the chunks you can add more milk.
4. Now you will have to microwave your mixture for about 10-15 seconds. In the microwave the mixture will get more creamier. After you take it out, stir it quickly and then immediately apply it to your face. This shit hardens fast, so you really need to work quick!!
AND REMEMBER:
Wash your face before you apply the strips.
Apply the mixture to where ever you find necessary!
Let it dry for about 15 minutes, though you can leave on longer.
You will KNOW when it is time to peel off. You won't be able to move your face very well.
And finally, PEEL AWAY!

I hope you enjoyed. There will be more DIY coming soon! I love them so much. I may even do a tutorial. <3

The Man With The Hello Kitty Earrings/The Story Behind The Kitty...




Every week at my school venders set up for the week to sell their products to students. Usually they really aren’t that interesting, selling things like posters, fudge, and student phone plans. And then today, I saw it out of the corner of my eye; a little man with a jewellery stand, three tables of sparkles and shine. I had to distract myself immediately; I knew that if I was to go over there, that literally, there was no stopping me.  I would be lucky to escape with one item from this jewellery stand, so I thought I would just ignore it all together and I was successful , but only on my way to class. The way back from class, was another story. I didn’t want to stop, I really didn’t; but the little man he looked me in the eyes. We made eye contact and he saw into my soul. Deep into my soul and I’m assuming telepathically he called me over. The little man whispered in my ear to go see him and look at all the beautiful wholesale jewellery. So slowly I walked over to look at the wide collection of jewellery and there was so much to look at. But I took my time and really evaluated if I really need anything I am looking at. About 15 minutes later of holding myself back, the man looked at me again and then to the corner of the table. Confused I followed his gaze, and saw a single pair of Hello Kitty earrings. Never have I ever been into Hello Kitty, but I slowly walked over and took a look at them. I was impressed to see how much they grew on me, that little man knew exactly what I wanted.  So seven dollars later I am now the owner of a set of Hello Kitty earrings.
