Vulnerable and in The Woods, I Think????

a fleeting mist swept away
every time i close my eyes 
 floating on borrowed time
colors entwined
wrapped in the twisting of the vines
the sweet taste imbibed
every time i close my eyes
he always disappears.

Play Up Your Best Features!

The idea between make-up, and I hope to G, with most of you ladies, fashion, is to look good.  You buy nice clothes that are you, because you think they make you look cute.  You put on makeup to look good for yourself and others of the opposite, or hey, even the same sex, or both whichever floats your boat.  Here are some super kickass ideas to play up your best features and get noticed!



Eyes -  Men love a gal with pretty eyes.  Women stop and stare too at a person with striking eyes.  A tip that works with any eye color is the smoky eye look.  You accomplish this in a daytime or a nighttime look. 



Make sure you have liquid eyeliner, or pot eyeliner handy.  I recommend Maybelline Line Stilletto liquid eyeliner.  It has an easy felt pen that  you can draw a thick or think line with easily.  Make sure you have q-tips handy if you make a mistake, because this type of liner is pretty easy to wipe off and fix your line with!  Use black if you can.  Green eyed girls can use brown, and those with blue eyes can work with a grey or charcoal color as well.  Brown eyed gals might want to try a dark purple or plum color to play up their baby browns.



There are a couple of mascaras I recommend.  Try Maybelline lash Stilletto or Cover Girl Lash Blast.  If your hair is medium brown to black, always use black.  It draws attention to your lashes and makes them look thicker.  Gals with lighter hair might want to go with a brown or brown black.  Brown black is beautiful for green and green-hazel eyed girls. 



For an evening look, add some color to your eyelids and two lighter shades above your lid and then on your brow bone.  If you were using black, you would want to add a grey or silver and a white eyeshadow shade on the browbone.  You could also use black on the lid, then add charcoal shadow to your mid-eye and then silver on your browbone.  It depends on how dramatic you want to go.  Plums and maroons are pretty with blue eyes.  With green eyes, you might want to go with brown and nude colors.  With brown eyes, you might want to accent and accentuate them with blues and turquoise colors. 



Lips -  If you have big lips, congratulations, Jennifer Garner Jolie.  With larger lips you can work with any color you want, and you usually don't need to line your lips.  If you want to be a show-off, try a ruby red color with your smoky eyes.  The boys will go gaga and be speechless!  If you are like the rest of the world, your lips might be average or on the smaller, less noticeable side.  Lip liner can help, but if your lips are too small, you might end up looking like Tammy Faye Baker.  Try to stick to glossy and glitzy stains or glosses.  Sometimes I put on a matte color and just put some vinyl clear color on top, or mix it with another color to change your lipstick shade.  I'm partial to red or a bright vinyl hot pink.  When I am looking to play up my eyes and tone down my lips, I go with a nude or peachy light color coated with a clear vinyl gloss.

Bust -  Maybe you want to minimize your tummy line, and bring up your bust without looking like a skank.  I've always been busty, and I'm not afraid to share with the general public, at a distance, of course.  Try wearing a tight fitting top on the top and something that doesn't fit so tightly around your middle.  Babydoll shirts are great for this purpose.  You might want to go with puffy Lolita sleeves and a babydoll bottom to play up your super kickass bust.  Wear a bra that matches, or you can get a little flirty and wear a polka dotted bra under black and let it show a little, but not too much!  It almost looks like a part of your shirt like it happened on purpose.  Always wear bras that lift your bust so you don't look like grandma with those babies sagging down to your belly.

Hips - Got child bearing hips?  If a man isn't interested in that, he isn't worth the horse he rode in on.  I will elaborate no further.  Pencil skirts worn high on the waist will accentuate this as well as tighter fitting capri pants.  These are also good for a big hipped big bummed gal.  Don't ever be afraid to show what you have under your clothes while keeping your skin covered! 

Derriere - To accent your superior posterior, wear a shirt that covers your front, but is a little higher in the back and doesn't cover up your bootay.  Be sure to wear panties without lines, because that takes away from the splendor of a big ol' butt.  Low rise pants are good for this purpose.  Make sure you are not wearing them way under your belly, because you don't want to push your tummy out, but make sure they are hugging your butt so everyone can see how lovely it is!  Pencil skirts work for an evening or more formal look, too!

Waist -  If you have a tiny waist, flaunt it!  I, however do not, but anyway, definitely wear low rise jeans, corsets, and whatever else you want to wear to flaunt your sexy waist.  Not everyone has a flat tummy and a slim waist, but pencil skirts cover that area, too!  You can also cover up your midriff and make sure you wear shirts that are slightly open in the back, or that ride up just a little so you can show off those kickin' curves!

Legs - You got legs, use 'em!  Wear skirts, mini ones, capri pants, and be sure to wear shoes that draw attention to that area, red is a good color to attract attention to that area!  You also might want to wear high waisted shirts and dresses to draw more attention towards your nether regions, I mean your legs.

Flattering Full Bust Tops

Torrid has the best cami.  I purchased it the other day, and its the most flattering thing ever!  Even when I am on the thinner side, I always have difficulty fitting my busty top into camis, and any top, really.  Torrid has size 12 and up, so even if you are a size 12, they run on the smaller side, and if you are busty, and full figured, Torrid is your destination!

Ok, so this is so cute, and it looks even better on than you would ever imagine.  Its worth every single penny!


Its $38.50 at Torrid!  It comes in sizes 1-5.  A size one is roughly a 12-14, on the smaller side.
