OOTD: New NELLY.COM Collection



WRITER:

CLOTHING:
DRESS / Nelly.com / 24 sd
CLUTCH / DvF Tribute /  17 sd*
SHOES / LiuJo / 0 sc
* = starbazaar purchase

The new Nelly.com collection is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, with the money I had, I was only able to purchase a handful of items. However, I know I will get much use out of them. This dress, inspired by Marion Cotillard, was definitely one of my favorites. So, of course, it had to be the first item I would wear.

Review: Mark Fast Tribute


The prices range from 16 to 38 stardollars, which I have to say is completely overpriced. But, what can we expect from Stardoll? This tribute reminds me, and some other users, of the 14th season of LE. 

However, I personally don't care for this store. I've only bought one piece, the Tulie Mesh Blouse, priced at 32 stardollars.



I'd have to say the worst piece is the Fuchsia Strap Top, priced at 25 sd. It looks like something Barbie would wear to a club. 


Will you buy anything from the store?

OOTD: Bubblegum B*tch


WRITER:

CLOTHING:
DRESS / Frankie Morello / 19 sd
TOP / Yves Saint Laurent / 40 sd * 
CLUTCH / Nelly.com / 5 sd
SHOES / Riviera / 59 sc
NECKLACE / Bonjour Bizou / 98 sc *
* = starbazaar purchase

I realized I had never worn this white feather dress from the Frankie Morello tribute. So, I knew I had to style it somehow. I don't particularly like the cut of this dress. To cover the v-neck, I put on this cropped top by Yves Saint Laurent.

More Makeup Mistakes

Back in February, I wrote a post on the top 3 makeup mistakes I've seen on Stardoll. I was asked by a few users to write another post with more makeup mishaps. 


TOO NUDE LIPSTICK 
When wearing a nude lipstick, make sure its not too light for your skin tone. I often see medolls with ghostly lips like the picture above.


CRAZY SHADOW
There actually is a correct way to wear a bold color on your lids. But, many don't know how. Don't mix too many colors; keep it simple. Use the bright color as an accent or apply lightly. 


EXTREME RACCOON EYES
This is a mistake I use to make when I first joined Stardoll. Take it easy on the eyeliner; you're not Boxxy. 

OMBRE GONE WRONG
Believe it or not, I actually see this a lot. Ombre became a big trend last year. I've seen many users rock an ombre lip. However, I've also seen many fail miserably. Make sure the colors you're using are not too different from each other. 

I hope you enjoyed. Would you like to see face/features mistakes or a post on the correct way to apply makeup to your medoll?

Future Fashion Designer




Clothing: Floral applique dress, wedding dress, white maxi skirt

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this outfit. In her presentation, it says "future fashion designer," and she is definitely right. The 3 pieces she put together create a beautiful, elegant dress.

Downtown: What's The Deal?

So, as many of you already know, Stardoll has been teasing us for months now about "Downtown." There have been numerous posts on the Stardoll blog and leaked pictures of Downtown. But, what exactly is it?
Well, we now know that it is another new app. It's extremely disappointing, in my opinion. When I first saw pictures of the layout, I was excited. I was hoping that Stardoll would finally undergo another makeover. But, no, of course not. Stardoll has once again let us down. 

I don't doubt that most people would have liked a new layout. Now, Stardoll has given us another app that only a small percent of people will have access to. It's not fair to tease us like that, and not have this feature available to every user. Shocker Stardoll, not everyone can afford an iPhone, iPad or Android.

If you'd like to see some photos from the app, click on these links for posts from Underneath Stardoll.

Hot Buys?

So, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's wondering what the heck happened to hot buys. At first, I thought that Stardoll would go back to monthly hot buys, considering all they've done is spit out crap since they introduced the weekly collections. 

The last edition of weekly hot buys was almost 2 weeks ago. The search tool for weekly hot buys was taken out of the Starplaza catalog. So, what's going on? There's no news from anyone on the situation. 

Actually, the site has been fairly quiet the last couple of weeks. The site hasn't   realeased a lot of new items, except for the Frieda Kahlo Edition of Museum Mile.

So, where are you Stardoll? We're waiting.

OOTD: The Modern Gatsby



WRITER:

CLOTHING:
DRESS / Rio / 160 sc
CLUTCH / Rio / 65 sc
SHOES / Nelly.com / 12 sd

I went to see "The Great Gatsby" for the second time this weekend, and it was just as great the second time. Even though the acting is not phenomenal, everything else is. It made me want to jump through the screen. This outfit is partially inspired by the time period. It's my modern twist on 1920s fashion.

Au revoir,

This outfit's kind of expensive for how simple it is. However, I still really like it. As I mentioned in my last OOTD post, I love this muted rose color. It's definitely my favorite. This outfit consists of very open and flowing pieces.

Studs & Lace



Items: Studded jacket, lace dress, leather clutch, floral wreath, strap platforms, misc. jewelry 

I've always been a fan of her outfits. So, when I saw this look, I knew I had to post about it. I love toughening up girly pieces, such as a lace dress. I would definitely wear an outfit like this, on Stardoll or in real life.

Salut,

Dark & Iridescent




Wearing: Fur coat, White shirt, Metallic trousers, Bag, Heels 

I truly love this outfit. I was contemplating purchasing those trousers, but I didn't because I had no idea what to pair them with. However, C.Dey. certainly does! I think the color scheme is lovely, and the fur coat is a great touch.

Top 3 Makeup Mistakes

1. EYESHADOW UP TO EYEBROWS
99% of the time, this is not acceptable. In real life would you apply black eyeshadow up to your eyebrow? I don't think so. 

2. SLOPPY/NON SYMMETRICAL APPLICATION
If you want your medoll to look halfway decent, at least try. Please? I understand it may look good from far away. However, if someone goes into your beauty parlor and it looks like you took a paintbrush and smeared some color on your face, you won't be too happy.

3. OVERDONE BLUSH
I think this may be the mistake I see the most. I apologize, but how can this look okay? Of course, some people can make this work (too bad I'm not one of those people!) However, the average Jane cannot.

White Lips, Pale Face



Wearing: Asymmetrical sweater, wide leg trousers, envelope clutch, pearl collar, gold accent heels

This is one of those outfits that look absolutely stunning, yet are so similar and consist of few pieces. I've been trying to master this technique, and Julia certainly has. I love this outfit in general! What do you all think?

My Makeup Essentials • 2013


Volumizing Mascara in Black 
Black mascara should be in everyone's makeup collection. You can just put a few coats on, and your doll looks ten times better. I would recommend purchasing a mascara in black instead of brown or another color, because it looks good on all skin tones and does look best. 

Liquid Liner in White
Every doll looks good with bright eyes. If you put a little of this white liner in the inner corners of your doll's eyes, it will will change your doll for the better. The bright corners make your doll look fresh and healthy. 

Eye Khol/Liner in Black
You can do so much white a black liner. Create a dark, "grungy" look by heavily lining the eyes, or lightly applying the liner on the outer thirds of the eyes to create a softer, elegant look. This should be in everyone's makeup bag. It's an easy and cheap way to create numerous different looks. 

Lipstick in Soft Skin
This pinky/nude lip color looks best on lighter skin tones. However, if you do have a lighter skin color then I would definitely recommend buying this product. Any doll can pull off a nude lip, as long as it's not too light for their skin. 

Blusher/Bronzer in Coconut Shell
I absolutely love this product, because it goes with anything and everything. Your doll can have any skin tone, or wear any outfit, and this will look fabulous.  Even though this is called a blush, I would apply this as a bronzer    instead of on the apples of your doll's cheeks. 

I hope this post helped you!
