Eye Candy


Eye Candy
50 Makeup Looks for Glam Lids and Luscious Lashes

By Linda Mason; Watson-Guptill 2008

Summary: “I love those colorful, glamorous eyes I see in magazines and in movies,” you say. “They tempt me, they torment me! It all looks so simple, but when I try it, I look like one of the undead. Help me!” No problem, honey, because Eye Candy is here. In this handy new book, acclaimed makeup artist Linda Mason reveals the secrets of eye makeup with fifty hot looks. Each selection, from everyday to night-on-the-town, is presented so simply, so clearly, that anyone can have fabulous eyes in just a few steps. For each look, Mason provides a straightforward list of what’s needed, a diagram showing what to put where, and a palette for finding the right colors in a personal makeup collection or a cosmetics aisle. Did anyone ever tell you that you have beautiful eyes? Now everyone will tell you you have beautiful eyes, thanks to Eye Candy!

My Review: This is my number one eye make-up design help book! Oh how I have used this o so many times. This is my companion when I want to do something cool with my eyes. It has given me my own inspiration to create and design ways with makeup to make eyes stand out. Even though I have seen better make designs, this one is on a simple level where anyone can copy it. That’s probably why I like it so much. It’s fast, it’s easy, and anyone can recreate the designs she gives.

Pictures of Yours Truly: 
This gave me inspiration to try my hand in eye make-up design and here are the results.

Beastly

Beastly
By Alex Flinn; Harper Teen

Summary:  Kyle Kingsbury is on top of the world. He's handsome, he's rich, and popular. But when Kyle plays a mean joke on a girl named Kendra things change. Kendra, a disguised witch, curses him and turns him into what he really is. A beast. A creature with hair from every pore, fangs, and claws. Kyle has two years to find a girl who will love him and her in return.

My Review: This is my favorite re-telling of Beauty and the Beast. I loved the beasts point of view and how this takes place in modern day New York City. Its amazing to see how Kyle changes through the course of two years and how he finally starts to see the beauty in all things. I loved it and I highly recommend it.

Watch Out For: Mild Language, Teenage acts, and Beastly outrages.

Interesting News: They are also making a movie of Beastly. I don't know if I will like it due to his appearance.
