I have an idea/Tutorial News

Hi!
So I had this idea to base makeup on my medoll's hair color.
And I have to say it actually got a good enough review so I decided to do it.
So I'm gonna base makeup on Five Hair Colors.
Blonde[Light] Dirty Blonde,Red,Brunette,and Black.
So next week I'll post that.
Also since I went to Illnois I didn't get to do my tutorials that were in the spoilers, so I'm gonna lay that next week as well so stay tuned.

New Youtube Video

Hi,
Enjoy!

Hello!
I'm back on my computer and this time... I'm stayin!

Stardoll, when you released these Hotbuys you seriously out a lot of EFFORT into them! These are by far the best Hotbuys this year. I love love LOVE them.
Release Dates:
Hair Decoration-May 3rd
Swimsuit-May 6th
Shorts- May 9th
Ruffle Dress-May 12th
Skirt-May 15th
Shoes-May 16th
Bow Shirt-May 20th
Bag- May 24th
Dress-May 27th
Crop Top-May 31st

These Hotbuys are amazing. But I can imagine them being fairly* over priced.

*means not so fair.

Reason why I'm not posting

Hello!
So I guess you noticed I haven't posted since Monday. Well here's the reason why:
Remember when I said I was done traveling for  a good while? Well obviously I was wrong cause I'm in Illinois.
I've been here since Tuesday. And I bet you are also thinking why i didn't let you know. Well here's two reasons why:
1. This trip was sudden, so I didn't have time.
2. My mom's phone[which has Internet.] was ran down. So I couldn't log on and post.
But the good news is that I'm Leaving tomorrow  so I should be posting again soon. If I'm not tired I'll post when I get home. or Saturday.
-Sara
[Plus I haven't logged onto Stardoll or Twitter for a day or so. The agony is killing me!]

Sweet On Sugar? Is Stardoll having a sweet overload?

Just out of the blue I noticed this.
There is a shop named Wild Candy
In The Starplaza is is 'Icing On the Cake' Styled Outfits.
and now there is a shop called 'Sprinkled'
I find this kinda funny as I think Stardoll may be having a 'Sweets" Overload!
If they release 'Ice Cream' Styled outfits that would be hilarious.





April 50% Starplaza Sale

Hello,
Well the April 50% Off Sale is here! Although the Stores Fudge and Voile aren't included becuase of the 25% "Spring Cleaning Sale"[As I call it.]
Anyway there are some great deals out there =]
-Sara



Tutorial Spoilers

I decided to do this weekly, since I can plan out which turtorials to do during the week.
Please note that I won't do them all as some are just ideas, but I will try my best to do most of them.
Anyway enough with the jibber jabber and let's get down to the buisness,lol.


Over to past two weeks I've been doing regular tutorials and kinda forgot about my 'Around The World' series. This is my look based on Australia. This may be my last 'Around the world' tutorial for while as I am running out of ideas for the series.
This is a Purple Heart tutorial. I love how I mixed the eyeshadows to match the highlights. =]

This is the Black and White Darling Look. I kinda based the makeup on the 60's Hairstyle, although if I were to do a 60's look I would base it on Twiggy or something similar, since she was a big fashion phenomenon back then.

I call this look A Blast of Summer. Simply because it combines the looks of summer, along with a green smokey eye.

My First Graphic =]

Thought Photoshop was the only place to make decent graphics? Think again!
So about an hour ago I was bored and though "Why not try to make a graphic?"
Well I did it and let me tell you what it's some hard work! It took  about a total of two hours to make this. I had to use Google Images to get the extras[the Apple and the Laptop] along with the jeans.
Anyway I used paint to do it all and I'm pretty impressed =]

Stardoll Hates our questions in Arabic?

This page was in Arabic, but then thanks to my Google toolbar, Google translated it for me.
If you can't read it:
"Sorry,no
Find the page you requested
Please check signed with the correct spelling and capitalization.Please lose the usual questions that you need to help."
Now look at the un derlined sentence, don't you find that kinda weird? I mean the Arabic Stardoll hates our questions?
-Sara
[PS: I know this is pointless, I just have nothing to post. Hopefully somehting exciting will happen over the weekend or next week as I hate when Stardoll is a ghost town.]

New Youtube Tutorial

Everything on Stardoll is pretty quite so that's why I haven't been posting lately.
Anyway...

Why I made a tutorial on Barbie:
Well when I was younger I LOVED playing with Barbie Dolls, so last week while I was on my trip it sparked in my mind that I should bring back some of my memories and make a Barbie tutorial.
So I originally intended to make it when I came home but two things stopped  me.
  1. The n-dubzfan case
  2. I went on this jumpy thing on Saturday and when i woke up on Sunday,  I was so sore I couldn't hardly even brush my hair, much less make a tutorial
Anyway if you've seen a Barbie doll you know the only makeup they wear is Lipstick, but I reflected some of the looks on Barbie's personality, such as how she loves pink.

-Sara
But anyway

Thursday, April 21, 2011

It's here!

Blogger is acting up so I can't post pictures. I hate this, I really hate this.
But anyway the red hair dye has been released along with Red Highlights.
Which makes everything good because now for the next three days I'll be saving up my virtual pennies to buy the hair dye.
XD

Free Facebook Laptop

Now I thought I would give 'How to get free items' another try.

How to get this free Facebook laptop.
Go to my account [or click here]
Go To Settings[or click here]
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see something that says "Connect To Facebook"
Connect to Facebook then after you should recieve 10 Stardollars and a laptop.
If you already connected with Facebook  then you don't need to do it again and the laptop should already be in your suite.

Delete my blog? No sorry not gonna happen/Red Hair dye spoilers/New feauture here

And just when I thought this whole mess with over and dealt with I get a GB message:
First of all fighting? N, I'm not fighting. I'm just annoyed. Annoyed and fighting are two  different things.
Now look at this part of the message:
Delete the blog? No! Not after all of the effort, time, and heart I put into this blog for almost 4 months now, it's not gonna happen. For goodness sakes it's a virtual website, and as I said in this post people take a virtual website, such as Stardoll, so seriously. 
Plus that post, old news, really old news, 3 month old news. So really it's not worth arguing about. Can't people read the dates? The lack of common sense these days...
Also the threat to write bad stuff on a blog about me? Probably not gonna happen as I'm sure this will wear off in  a few days and if it doesn't I have a few solutions such as.
Delete both of them as my friend and when they leave me messages in my GB, I'll just delete them because I'm tired of hearing all of this crap about an old post that 3 months old about something that she did to me.
Also I have the right to post about someone cyberbullying me. So I can alert people that they won't be in the same situation.
Also if they DO write some crap about me, I'll just be sitting here in my computer chair, with some chips, laughing my butt of at all of the lies. I don't let virtual stuff/rumors bother me.As I'm pretty sure people won't believe it.
---
On other news.
I was looking at Lel1996's blog and that she has posted some spoilers and one of them contained something that everyone dyes for[ha ha dyes get it?]:
RED HAIR DYE!
[Thank you Lel for posting this. I know I can't say this enough but you truly rock!]
YAY! Red hair dye! Stardoll is actually listening to it's members because people have been begging for Red Hair-Dye to return to the Starplaza ever since it left back in June[I think. Not 100% sure.] I'm glad for this new product so I'm gonna start saving my virtual pennies!
---
Just recently I had this idea.
I decided to create a separate tab/page[as Blogger calls it] to acknowledge  some people and their creativity, I will do three people per month =] As I think that this way I can acknowledge some people who deserve it!

LE Summer 2010 Released

Excuse my 'Year error'. 4 months into 2011 and I still type in 2010 lol.
There is no store as of 11:57Am  EST.  But if you go to "Search" and search the store LE you should find all items.
I have to say I saw a few more items than there were in the spoilers, and now it makes me go insane.
The cheapest item is the Bikini bottoms, starting at 10$ most expensive item is the Origami Dress at 250$
Edit: The Store has been released.
I bought the black bikini bottoms, since they were  the only things I could afford.
The bags are ok. Cute and a bit eye popping, but really not my thing.
What do you think? Is this by far the best collection of LE? Or is it 50/50?
-Sara

Sunday, April 17, 2011

And right when i get back from my trip this happens...

Hi.
So remember n-dubzfan357? That case that I thought was over a looong time ago? Well look-y here:
Somehow I've been getting blamed for a lot of things recently. Although I'm innocent.
Anyway back to what this post was about.
So now she is getting me for cyber bullying her in posts in the very blog? Not true at all, I was writing posts about how She was cyber bullying me. Not vice-versa.
So if she writes anything bad about me, well my friends it's not true
Some people take stardoll too seriously, all of the rumors and stuff like that. Thank goodness from what I've learned from the past year is that by the end of the day I know it's just a Virtual Website.
Well on other news...
I'm not going anywhere vacation wise for a few months, so it's just me and you and the wonderful 7 followers that we have. I plan on making a new youtube turtorial a bit later. Vintage Inspired. =]
-Sara

LE Spring/Summer 2011 Spoilers-Nothing too special




[Many thanks to Lel1996's Stardoll Blog for the images. She rocks!]
I'm not impressed, no not at all. I expected a LOAD more from LE and this is what we get. Let's just hope that these items are not prices at ridiculous prices .
I only like 3  items, the bow heels, the dress with a rose belt, and the glasses.
I don't expect to buy anything with my stardollar balance looking like this:


Anyway the collction will probably be released tomorrow, while I'm gone. Isn't that terrific?
First not haveing enough $ to buy something, then it being released while you are away. Yeah very terrific indeed.
-Sara

New Youtube Video andanother one coming soon!

Audio Swap is in progress.
Now this turtorial is pretty simple to do, and  really makes your medoll look flawless!

I also plan on doing a mermaid turtorial. This is one I've been dying to do for months, but I didn't think I had enough skill, but now after a few vids I'm pretty sure I can nail it. I'm not giving up!


Invite More members comps. Sara rants...

Lately I've been going back to some clubs that I haven't been to in awhile.
And well let's say in most of them I found topics  like this:
" Whoever invites the most members will get a prize!"
What bothers me about these comps is how the people you are asking, feel about joining a club, but yet they don't get anything.
It's just like saying " Hey please join[insert club name here] and please tell your friends, because if I invite the most members then I get to be manager and get [insert a number here] gifts!"
Now usually when I get a message to join a club, I don't join. Simply because:
  • If I joined a club, most chances are I wouldn't be that active.
  • I only go on Stardoll for P&E, dressing up my doll, creating makeup looks, buying, searching in the starbazaar, and going into TRR.
  • And plus, with my homework going down on my by the pound, chances are I would only be visiting the club once a week.
Stupid reasons, but they are 100% true.
But anyway back to my point.
Another thing I don't like about these comps is that they don't have any creativity what so ever.The only creativity in them is the way you ask your friends to join. And even that isn't very creative.
---
There's your pointless rant, as i promised one before I go to Thunder, today is my last 'free' day before I start packing and stuff. And plus my Aunt is coming tomorrow so yeah that means I'm going to try and post as much as I can today, to makeup for tomorrow and Saturday.
I'm also gonna be working on my makeup tutorial. I'm gonna hold off my 'Around the world turtorials' for awhile. I've ran out of ideas and places so that's why.

Oh about my tutorial.
It's not going to be very long and the makeup won't be in depth of anything, it's just simple makeup that anyone could wear so the video will be a bit fast.
I am creating the rough draft right now, even though I was supposed to last night, probably because around 9:00  I got really sleepy and couldn't take it any longer so I postponed it to today.

 
-Sara

New Youtube Turtorial

Enjoy!
Now I want to upload at least one more turtorial before I head to Thunder on Saturday, and that would probably be a simple, fashionable look. That you could wear on nany day. I plan to make a rough draft and a starter point tonight, then tommorrow I will record, edit,and upload the video.
-Sara

New Floor added to Windows on the world

This floor is based on Saudi Arabia, and I LOVE it!
I love al of the 'Elli Sabb Inspired' sutff =]
Everything in this floor ranges from 4 Stardollars-17 Stardollars

-Sara

New layout...again

Well i updaed the layout again...
The other one[based on the Royal Wedding] didn't seem to fit, my new one seems to have a bit more of my personality to it.
It has a party/Purple theme

-Sara

New Shop- Pix

Remember those spoilers that you saw on Friday? Well here they are.
This is a nice addition to Stardoll, as it relates to the real world, I own a Digital Camera in real life and I use a memory card[ well actually 2, I bought one for a trip that I took over the summer.] So this is nice feature to add to the cameras as it will make Presentations look great too!

Although with every story there is a Bright Side and a Dark side. The Dark side is that most of everything in the shop is for SS only and it's a bit pricey. Also Pix is doesn't have a Suite Shop tab for easier access =[.

-Sara
[Also I plan on working on a New YouTube Tutorial tonight, maybe using some of the ideas in my spoilers last week. Although it probably won't be part of my "Around the World Series" I may create a Classic look, or something wild like an 80's look]

Monday, April 11, 2011

New Header and theme

Well it's been about a month since I've had a new header so I thought 'Why not change it?'
This theme is based on a wedding/romantic look.
What do you think? Do you like it?
-Sara

Perfect day Store Released

There are 4 other floors, although I think this one is truley one worth showing.
Now these are very pretty clothes, the only thing that annoyes me is that why couldn't Stardoll just release them as full dresses? Instead they released them in skirts, tops and 'shoulder sleeves'.
Even though I was expecting wedding dresses, instead of skirts,shirts and shoulder sleerves, this is a nice collection.
Now some people say that this will replace Voile, hopefully not, as I think Stardoll is cleaning out all of the current items in Voile to make some room for new items, as the current items have been in there for over a year.

Well anyway what do you think? Do you like the new store?
-Sara
Oh and PS I'm not probably gonna post anym ore today, as I got in at 10:00 PM last night and I'm still a little tired and sore, and my Aunt is possibly coming tommorrow and you know I'm gonna be out of town on Saturday and I'm packing on Friday so the only time you may hear from me will be Wednesday and Thursday, and both of those days I plan to rant =]
Also I may make a new header t cellebrate Thunder. So that's another thing I'm doing today. I truley apoligize for all this, Aprilis a bust month for my persnal life :[


New Epiphany Floor Released- does this relate to the royal wedding?

More Epiphany? Stardoll you are really blowing me out!

Very Nice floors, I love the Rocker Heart items!

-Sara

New Youtube Video =]

Now I had a lot of fun creating this look, and you probably saw it before because it was in my turtorial spoilers that I posted on monday.
Now I do wanna finish this series[ there may be 19 more looks] then I'll take a break from my youtube videos and maybe some of stardoll[but not the blog] to catch up my school work.
Anyway enjoy the video =]
I may create a normal video based on a funky, 80's look here soon =]
-Sara

New Shop coming to the starplaza?

So I was looking in the star blog and saw this:

This is what they said in the article:
Starting on Monday, April 11th, your dream weddings will come true! Prince William and Kate are tying the knot soon—and we’re giving you the chance to  say “I do” in the most fashionable of ways too!
Create amazing ceremonies and even more incredible dresses with our offerings in Perfect Day, the latest shop in Starplaza. Celebrate your wedded bliss in Parties, and don’t forget to check out the Spotlight page for an exciting contest!
Join us, Stardoll bachelorettes, for your Perfect Day— let’s put a ring on it, ladies!!

Now a lot of the older members have been wanting a wedding shop for a while. And when I say a lot a mean a lot!
It's a nice idea to celebrate Princess Diana[ Prince William's mother who died in a car crash in 1997 click Here to learn more about her]'s son's wedding date. A mean a lot of members live in the UK and will be celebrating this event big time, but is it so big you need to build a store?

Now look at this part of the message closely
" Celebrate your wedded bliss in Parties, and don't forget to check out the Spotlight page for an exciting contest!"
Oh no! Let's not celebrate our wedded bliss in Parties, ever since Stardoll created open parties, there hasn't been a decent party since[or a lot of them anyway.] Imagine what this will do? More racey parties and a lot of weddings.
But on the bright side, a new shop? Cool! I would love to see more wedding dresses, maybe be able to make an outfit with Epiphany =]
-Sara

Friday, April 8, 2011

MORE Epiphany? Stardoll you are really inpressing me today!

So guess what?
More Epiphany!

Ahh I love these two floors, they remind me of the Ocean and some of the movie Titanicalthough none of the pieces were worn in the movie, it just reminds me of it.
Stardoll is really melting my heart with all of  these nice additions! Wish they would do that a bit more often!
-Sara

New Pet-A-Porter Collection-Sara has fallen in more major like

Now I have a few more favorites.
I love that one that is sitting by the door so gracefully. Awahh he is my new favorite.
I still like that one I said I liked in the spoilers, but not as much.
I also like the little white dog sitting next to the bag, although I'm pretty sure that will be the first one to sell out due to the fact that he is liked by a  lot of people.
Well what do you think? Are you ganna buy one? Is your heart melted on one but yet you can't afford it like me or do you think this is no improvment at all?
-Sara

Need Members by tommorrow?

Now this really shocks me.
I was looking at the Abigail Breslin doll, then look what I saw in the comments:
Now this shocked me, for two reasons.
  • If you need an X amount of members by tommorrow, then why are you posting on an old doll?
  • Why need a deadline?
Now I did take a look at the club, and they do have 3363 members, not that bad. But that isn't the point. The point is, why do you need it by tommorrow?
Now I'm pretty sure this club will achieve it's goal, but seriously a deadline? That actually makes me laugh.
It reminds me of one of those comps, where you have to invite a certain amount of friends to join to become manager or get a prize... and those aren't very funb. But I'll rant about that some other day.
-Sara

Pet-A-Porter Spoilers

Now usually I don't post spoilers unless it's something really good.
Well this is something really good.
New collection of Pet-A-Porter is coming just one week after the debut with the kittens.
Here are the spoilers[much thanks to Lel 1996's stardoll blog]
Now there is nothing I can argue about.
I love all of the puppies! So adorable I love the one on the bottom left corner-the cutest one of all.
Reports say these are coming tomorrow! Which is 100% good, because that means I will have enough times to buy a starcard.
Although i wish there was one of those deals we receive in our 'Dollymail' where you get 25 or 50% more stardollars, because I would like to spend a little more on clothing than a pet. That's the money-saver side of me. Lol.
But the reson why i love these so much is because that I'm more of a dog person[probably because I've been around dogs all of my life and I own one] so why not buy a dog?
Anyway what do you think? Will you buy one of these when they come out tomorrow or are you more of a cat person and liked the last collection of Kittens better?
-Sara

New Collection of Epiphany

Well look what we got here:

A beautiful collection. But beauty has a price. 30 Stardollars for a Tiara is a no go!
I love all of the Green pieces, they remind me of my birthstone emerald. I also love the pearl ring. The 10$ green ring and the 13 $ Pearl ring are my first two buys!
-Sara

Voile leaving the starplaza? Or just some spring-cleaning?

Now I was looking to see if there was going to be any new Epiphany, but look what I saw:

Now when i first saw this I was about ready to have a heart-attack or somethin. Voile is one of my favorite stores in the  Starplaza, and it would be sad to see it leave.
But then i realized, what if thy're just refreshing the store. Getting rid of the old so they can add the new, and that's probably the cause.

Inside the store:

Now since I only have around 10 stardollars and there is about 5 gowns I really want, it's gonna be a hard choice. My top three are the Silk Dress in the back on the second picture. Metal floor length detailed gown, and the Classic Dior gown.
Hopefully this sale lasts until friday when i can get a card, i would hate to see all of these dresses priced super-high in the starbazaar by the users I call "the Insane Starbazaar sellers".

-Sara

Cheaper Version of a RARE stop the trains!

Now looking through the starplaza I saw this:
Then i thought doesn't it look simalar to this?:
Now this got me thinking that I've seen some other things that look close to Hotbuys in the Starplaza such as this:

Now these two aren';t exactly close but they are pretty well near it!
There is probably a lot mroe out there. I just don't feel like looking right now :|
But anyway I find it sad when people spend 100's of stardollars on Old Hotbuys when they can buy something like it for a boatload less!
-Sara

New turtorial-Fiesty Italian

Stardoll Turns Five :)

Happy Birthday Stardoll!
Here are some of the gifts that stardoll is giving us:


A 10 stardoll interior of the Stardoll office? Not bad, 10$ for an interior is cheap, compared to the 25 stardollar Kitchen.


Now these gifts are a bit bland in my opinion, the skirt and black boots are the only items that i would actually put on my medoll, the others just look bland but then again that's my opinion.
-Sara


Sprinkled and Polished Stores Released. Just what I feared



Just what I feared... a nail salon.
Now I never paint my nails in real life.... just because I don't like nail varnish.
But anyway,it is a nice feature, more ways to express your personal flair, nice idea. But yet I'm not a big fan.
Also I looked at the "Polished" store and the prices are a bit high, I suppose 10$ for nail polish is a bit pricey but oh well.
I wonder if Polished will come in collections like Dot, Doree,and LUXE?
Oh and on other news here the Youtube Video I promised:
Enjoy!

New Series of Youtube Turtorials!

Yesterday I was laying in bed, bored out of my mind. when an idea popped out of my mind!
Why not do a series fo Youtube turtorials inspired from places around the world!
The first one I'm doing is one based on the Tropical Island of Hawaii!
I'm gonna start recording after I post this, once it uploads I'll post it here.
-Sara


Tutorial Spoilers!

This turtorial is based on bright neon colors. I call it " Neon Blast" I hardly use a lot of bright colors because they make my doll look a bit fake. But this a look I would love to create :)]

This was inspired by Burlesque, the movie, I decided to create  Burlesque look all on my own and sofar I did an ok job :)



My Audrey Hepburn look, since Audrey had naturel glowing skin I thought it would be differnt to do a turtorial. It's pretty simple and easy as 123 :)

Blaming me something I never done? Ok suit yourself...

Now I never had a post like that mentioned in my blog. Never ever.  And it's pretty funny how she would mention it[my blog], as my blog is hardly known[but to all my subscribers, yes all 7 of you, you are amazing for following!] 
But I'm not gonna start anything, if she wants to start something then let her, it won't do her any good...

Sara is Sorry :(

Sorry for not posting, I have to break the news.
I'm really farrr behind in schoolwork, which means I can only probably go on stardoll at night or ever very early in the morning. So that means for awhile[maybe for the next 3 weeks] I won't be posting as much, but I will still be posting.
Trust me this stuff won't happen next year, I'll be a regular human being next year[ well I'm already a human being, but you get what I mean.]
As I said on my last updates post, on April 16th you won't see me online at all unless it's like very early in the morning. I'll post a little on April 15th but not much and on April 17th I'll be posting on how the fireworks and everything went. Of course that is less than two weeks away and I'm super-excitted!
Also I was gonna post a rant on Starbazaar Overpricing. But it might not happen until Tuesday.
Trust me I don't want things to be like this but bare with me, they will get better around Mid May

New Store: Pet-A-Porter

Limited Pets that grow? Seriously stardoll this is going to cause some trouble.
Although I am in LOVE with the Norwiegen Forest Cat,  it's big green eyes just pur out cuteness I am in Major Like!
Of course I would buy it if I only had 100 Stardollars.
Maybe Stardoll suspects us to spend the free 100$ we were given the other day, on these pets? Probably not, because I already spent my 100$.
Speaking of Stardoll, it's been lagging a lot today. I've waited 5 minutes just so the page would load for my suite. At first I thought it was my internet connection but turns out, I found out that some other users have been lagging too, It felt kinda good to not be alone, although I think it's these pets that may be causing the problem.


Not writing for the blog anymore...

April Fools! XD
No I'm still gonna write here, why wouldn't I? It's something I enjoy! So why would I stop?
