Valentine's Day Tutorials!

It is a four in 1!
Now I had to reupload it. The first time it was blocked in 237 countries because of the music, so I muted the music.
Enjoy!
- Sara 

:D

Today is January 27th.
On this day, last year I uploaded my first Youtube Tutorial!
This tutorial is basically showing you how to get a black eye.
I didn't have very much makeup then. Compared to now.
Back then, I stuck more to dressing up my doll then applying makeup to her virtual face. But I believe it was March when  I really got into  Stardoll Makeup.
So it's been a long year. I have uploaded 46 tutorials. Here's to another year of creating Stardoll Makeup Tutorials!

150,000,000

Hey guys!
So today Stardoll reached 150 MILLION members!
( this was taken about 3 hours ago.)
It is amazing on how many people have joined Stardoll in the past 5 years. Although I want to say at least 30% of accounts are troll accounts, fake accounts, and extra accounts.
Stardoll gave me 150 stardollars out of the blue and told me to spend it within 150 minutes...
I got the stylist studio! =D
So far Stardoll hasn't offered any clothes yet. Maybe in the morning.
Anyway it IS a nice offer :D
- Sara
( Ps: I want to style you all, stop by my Stylist Studio!)

HB Mesh Tank Released

Hey Guys,
So today Stardoll released the Mesh Tank.
It isn't all that cute. But 13 Stardollars isn't bad....


New Popshop

Yesterday Stardoll released a new Popshop!

The floor is inspired by Scandinavia and most of the items are very minimalistic!
I especially LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the 80s TV. I mean you all know me. You know I have a weird obsession with the 80's and 90's. And for only 8 stardollars? You can't beat it!
The rest of the floor is nice. I don't know if I will buy anything since I only have 6 stardollars...
What do you think? Did you like the last Popshop Floor ( New Years) better or do you lvoe this one?

February 2012 Hotbuys!

I got a small 30 minute break from school!
Yesterday, Stardoll released the February Hotbuys "poster":
I have to admit. A lot of the clothes are cute! But I typically stick to animal prints in Summer and fall. Certainly not in winter. But I think in comparison to the January Hotbuys, it's an improvement.

Here are the release dates, reviews, and ratings.

Hotbuys Exotic Sunglasses:
Store: Spectacular
Release Date: 2/2
Rating: 9/10
Review: I am glad that Stardoll decided to release two pairs of glasses. These are really cute! But hopefully they won't be pricey.

Hotbuys Polka Dot Romper
Store: Pretty N Love
Release Date: 2/6
Rating:9/10
Review: I LOVE this romper! It is very very cute! But I can imagine the price being somewhat steep.

Hotbuys Zipper Jeans
Store: Bizou
Release Date: 2/8
Rating: 8/10
Review: The jeans are cute, I really like the zippers. But I imagine them being ex-pen-sive!

Hotbuys Geometric Dress:
Store: Fallen Angel
Release Date: 2/11
Rating: 8/10
Review: The pattern is really abstract and unique, but like all HB dresses I imagine it being priced between 18-30 Stardollars, which I don't love it so much that I am willing to fork over the stardollars for it.

Hotbuys Suitcase:
Store: Rio
Release Date: 2/14
Rating: 10/10
Review: I really like the fact that it's a suitcase! I find animal print looks better on accessories than clothing and here it looks SO CUTE! Hopefully it will be cheap!

Hotbuys Leopard Jacket:
Store: Evil Panda
Release Date: 2/17
Rating: 9/10
Review:  
I like how the jacket is lined with green. It's cute!

Hotbuys Skull Boots:
Store: Rio
Release date: 2/20
Rating: 4/10
Review: I am not one who likes skulls. I am not a skull and crossbones type of girl. So I am not the biggest fan of these boots.

Hotbuuys Skull Scarf.
Store: Fallen Angel
Release Date: 2/23
Rating: 10/10
Review: Even though I am not a skull ad corssbones girl, I find this scarf really cute! It isn't over the top and is wearable.

Hotbuys Halterneck Top:
Store: Rio
Release Date: 2/26
Rating: 5/10
Review: Meh.

Hotbuys Sunglasses ( Pink ones):
Store: Spectacular
Release Date: 2/28
Rating: 10/10
Review: Really really really really really CUTE! :D

So these are the February Hotbuys! Do you like them? Or are they meh? Tell me what yoou think in the comments below!

I am SO SORRY!

I have only posted 18 times this month?
I feel terrible.
I haven' been as motivated to blog, and it really hurts. Last year at this time I had 60 posts!
In the last few months I see my posts declining.
And It's making me sad!
I am going to make it up to you all!
I am going to post every day.
For the next month!
That's right!

I am going to keep my promise!

I also am working on a new tutorial. A 4-in-1! :D

NEW DOT!!!!!!! :D

Hey guys,

So today Stardoll released a new Dot collection!
I LOVE IT!
I can now do more tutorials, and I love all of the colors.
Although, I am not so crazy about the blushes. I wish they were a bit more neutral...
I bought 3 eyeliners and  6 shadows.
<3!

- Sara
( PS: Tutorials ar coming soon. I have to re-record one again...)

HB Tights released

Hey Guys!
So today stardoll released the Hotbuys Tights! :)
You can find them at Bisou for 14 stardollars.
Now, I must admit, these tights are SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER ( Prepare yourself for 5 more supers.) SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER CUTE! The price is a tad more expensive them the tights we had in October ( those were 12 stardollars.) but the tights are worth the price. They are really verstile. 
I bought them :D these are seriously my favorite Hotbuy of this month!

New Stylist Studio feature.

Again with late news. Sorry, ya'll. Haven't been feeling the mood to blog as much.
Anyway, on Thursday Stardoll introduced the "Careers"tab. When you click on this tab, it leads you to the " Stylist Studio" feature.

Basically, someone asks you to style them, and you do. If they  "buy" that style. You get 10% of the commison.
And while it is a good idea, I don't know if I am going to pay the hefty 149 stardollars for this. I mean after all it does seem like a rip-off.
It IS a nice feature, but for 50 stardollars extra I could just buy the Penthouse, which has a lot more options.
What do you think? Is it a feature WORTH paying for? Or is it a rip-off? Tell me in the comments below!
- Sara 

HB Purse released

Hey Guys,
So yesterday the Hotbuys purse was released!
The purse is certainly pretty. It's very simple. 8 stardollars isn't a very bad price at all!
I bought it :)

Hotbuys Glitter Dress released

But the dress is STUNNING! Just a little too pricey.

Antidote has been released!

Hey guys!
So today Stardoll released a new collection of Antidote!
This is my favorite floor out of the three.
The items are a bit... well... OTT. I mean with the graphic designs and stuff. A little too much for me.
I bought three things, the "Chill Pill" top, Red Mary janes, and Blue pigtails. :)
The collection was a bit more expensive than the last, but the " Carnival" theme really catches my eye. Even though this would be more suitable for Summertime.
The bags are meh.

Updates: New Basics interior, Anidote Spoilers!,

Hey Guys,
So I have a few updates for you all!
Basics Interior:
These have been in Spoilers for a while now. The store was released yesterday.
I am so glad that Stardoll released an interior store for everybody! The prices are reasonable ( I really wouldn''t mind paying 120 starcoins/12 stardollars for a couch.) compared to some of the other decor stores and the items have good graphical quality.
I haven't bought anything ( or plan to) but the store is great :D
Antidote Spoilers!
I was reading on my Blogroll that there was some Anidote Spoilers!
I don't have a picture, sadly.
But the items are somewhat of an amusement park theme. Which is more suitable for summertime than winter but the items look much better than the " Lab Fab" collection of last year.
I am surprised that Stardoll is releasing a new Anidote. The Lab Fab collection never did sell out( the clothing sold out within the first two weeks but most of the interior items were still there when I wrote my Stardoll-2011 post.) so I guess Stardp;; just got tired of waiting and decided to release a whole new collection.
The collection will probably be released Monday. From past experinces, I know that spoilers for collections like LE and other stores are usually released on the weekend, the store is usually released on Mondays.

Sara's Makeup Tips! #1

Hey Guys,
Today I got a bit bored, and decided to do a makeup tips post!!!


Lets Start with the Basics:
If you're just beginning with Stardoll makeup then let me help you!
Tools you'll need:

(Click to enlarge)

Here just one of the many many looks you can do with just these 8 pieces of makeup!


Liquid Liner, all about it:

Liquid Liner is a nice thing to have in your Stardoll Makeup Collection. Sometimes it does great things to a look. But be cautious when using it as going too far can over-power the rest of the makeup.

Here's what not to do:
Extending the liner as far as it will go, may seem attractive, but truthfully it's not. Liner is something you have to be careful and responsible with ( in real life AND on Stardoll). Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
Instead, wear liner like this:
The line is more simple and sophisticated. And plus it's more wearable. Doesn't it look much better?
Blush. Do's and don'ts.
Just like liquid liner, when you appy blush you have be careful. Here is a few ways NOT to wear blush.
The first two are sort of the same, but the second one, is showing about sideways blush, something I see ALL OF THE TIME! now believe it or not, I use to do the third blush option all of the time. When my medoll had tanner skin.
Here's how to fix the problem:
First, pick a blush that suits your skin tone. Some blushes aren't suitable for some skin tones and vice versa.
Second, blush isn't made to look fake. It's made to enhance yur face. In other words, blush is made to look natural.
Thse are two of my favorite blushes. They enhance your face while still looking natural.
Well that's all for now, part two in the works.

Hotbuys Coat released.

Hey guys,
Today Stardoll released the 3rd Hotbuy of the month. The purple coat.
A bit too furry for my liking. But it's alright.
WOAH! Look at the price tag! Twenty four stardollars for a purple coat? No thanks.
You can find it at Rio for 24 Stardollars ( expensive!)

Updates.

New Youtube Video!
This is the second video in my Flower series. This is a two-in-one tutorial. The look is very simple to complete and I suggest if you are begginning with Stardoll Makeup it's a good idea. Of course you can use different colors.

New header and color scheme:
My blog now has a new header and color scheme:
I have been really into Lilac lately. It's just a very pretty color! I updated my header because well the other one was very Christmas-y and sadly it isn't Christmas anymore :(

- Sara



4000!

I just logged onto Stardoll and saw that I had 4000 starpoints!
I can't believe it! I thought I would never get this far!
And remember how I said I always get Starpoint rewards on special days/Holidays/events? Well last year on this day, I started posting on this blog. This is the day that this blog came alive! It's amazing.
My rewards:

The hair on my medoll

And look at my starpoint plant! I mean look at it! I can't believe how much it's grown!
Well this has certianly been a highlight of my day!

Hotbuys Hat released

Hey guys,
This evening, Stardoll released the Hotbuys hat!
You can find it at Rio for 13 Stardollars.
To be frank ( which is another word for honest), I don't think this would look good on my doll's head. Too much... fur. You all know that I'm not much of a fan of extreame fur, the hat is cute but it looks like something would sit in my closet since it's a bit too extreame and not very wearable.
Although I will have to admit, if your doll is residing in the Alpine Chalet this could come handy. It looks like something that would keep her warm. Very warm.
Overall, it's nice but a bit out there.

New Youtube tutorial!

The first tutorial of the new year.
Around two weeks ago, I bought the LUXE Golden Glow eye shadow. I was originally going to create another Holiday tutorial, with " Golden lights" as one of the looks, but it was Christmas and I never got around to editing it.
" Golden Sands" is more of a summery look. I created it for the heck of it and decided to put it in.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, I am working on another one that will be uploaded soon!
- Sara  

Hotbuys Sunglasses released

Today Stardoll released the Hotbuys Sunglasses! ( It's been about 4 months since I typed in the word Sunglasses that I almost typed in Sunday.)
You can find them for 13 stardollars at Spectacular.
Now 13 Stardollars is somewhat expensive for a pair of Sunglasses, but I have a soft spot when it comes to Hotbuys Jewelry and I know I'll kick myself later but I bought them.
Here's what they look like on my doll:

The sunglasses are a bit more tinted at the top so you really can't see the eye-makeup, but I think they would look great in the summer time.
It's been awhile since we've seen Hotbuys sunglasses, I believe it was April of last year when Sunglasses were included with the Hotbuys.

Almost 4000!

Hey Guys,
So I logged onto Stardoll today, and noticed that I have almost 4000 Starpoints!
20 more until I get 4000! I can't wait until I get that hair! =)
I should reach 4000 on  Saturday. I'll post about the rewards once I get them :)
Is it a conincidence that I always get my Starpoint rewards on Holidays/Events? I got the 2000 rewards on Christmas Day ( 2010) 2500 on February 28th, 3000 the first day of May, 3500 on my mom's birthday, and now 4000 on the first Saturday of 2012.

Stardoll Weekly Updates:New Glam R Us, Hotbuys Shorts released, and New Splendid,

Hey guys,
So I've been sick, now I'm starting to feel better and I'm ready to talk about ALL of the updates that Stardoll has made :)

New Glam 'r' us:

This was released at the end of December, I forgot to post about it though =p

It looks like they re-designed the store, I'm impressed!
For awhile Glam R Us have been left untouched, with the exception of the Fangs releaesed on Halloween.
The prices are somewhat pricey. 15 stardollars for a necklace? Nope, no way.
Beautiful :)


Hotbuys Shorts released:
The first Hotbuy of 2012. Not impressed at all.
17 STARDOLLARS?!? WHAT!??!?!?! Stardoll are you serious? If these were only 10 stardollars or something then maybe it would be all right, but 17? No!

New Splendid:
Today Stardoll released a new floor of the hair accessory shop " Splendid"

OH MY GOODNESS!
I AM IN LOVE!
L-O-V-E!
If  you know me in real life, you know I love flowers. Flowers are my life. And this floor has so many of them!
