It truly has been ages since I have ventured near my make up and hence why I have not been blogging as well but that is another story for another day. Here is my look for today, I got out my Psyche Minerals samples more willing to use them seeing as I am getting some full sizes soon - especially of my most loved shade Molly makes, Orion Slave which is on the outer corner of this look.
I used Babble all over my lid hence why Orion Slave has more of its greener side showing through. I love how much it morphs! Definitely the best shade to get and currently it is Psyche Minerals' Color of the Week so instead of its usual price of $3 you can get it for $1.75! Hurry and get it before the COTW changes!
When Celeste (go read her blog here) tweeted about Katie's blog Be Inspired I was inspired. Inspired by a beautiful blogger and her amazing make up and clothes and it seemed like after a very long time I was inspired to actually get back into the swing of make up and caring about what I wear, for you see dear readers, I've been so very down for so long.
Anyway, one particular entry of Katie's caught my attention and out of curiosity I wondered if I would be able to do the style myself. The style? Putting your hair into a bow, literally!
The music is haunting, the movie was a great one if you needed to get away from the world for a bit. I liked the cast and I felt like despite the movie taking such a drastic turn from the original idea of Little Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood is not at all that horrible as majority of critics make it out to be. Sure Catherine Hardwicke who is renowned for Twilight could not seem to help but instill many aspects of Twilight in this film too but can you blame her? The hype nowadays is over vampires, werewolves and zombies and it is without a doubt that Twilight secretly makes every girl daydream no matter how ridiculous she may find the concept of a stalkerish vampire.
I for one would pick Jacob any day but that is hardly relevant to this post.
Red Riding Hood was lacking in the werewolf department, and I think it has a lot to do with the outcome of who the wolf is. Without spoiling it, watch it for yourself and see if you agree with me on if the wolf was overly played up then it would have been "wrong". Besides, we would prefer feasting upon (er, with our eyes of course) the likes of Shiloh Fernandez (Peter) and Max Irons (Henry) in the human form admittedly...not saying either of them is the wolf, you will have to watch the movie to find out of course.
Overall it is barely what the original fairytale was but I appreciate the twist on it and love how sexed up it is in order to appeal to our current society with its frenzied fascination over the supernatural. I love the style of it despite it being very similar to Twilight but in all fairness I hardly think you could film in any other way to truly showcase the feel and appeal of werewolves. The acting was obviously not award worthy but overall the movie makes for a nice one to watch in bed. No harm in one of those.
You can watch the trailer for Red Riding Hood here:
As I find myself becoming more environmentally friendly and even more of a [fanatic] animal activist (more on this on my mega life update) I find myself more involved in reading up on animals than humans, especially since the news these days regarding the events in Japan depress me. The country I'm in has a tendency to be slightly insensitive and downright full of themselves when it comes to reporting certain stories and this has put me off so very much and angered me too much lately.
Moving along, here are some links from my new favorite site Teddy Hilton:
Cat that made it through the tsunami - nothing makes me bawl more than seeing pets that make it through a natural disaster AND have owners frantically looking for them too. The reunion is much better than humans being reunited because the animals could always revert back to being wild but instead seek comfort from their human companions. Bless.
Guilty Denver - most adorable video of a guilty dog! I couldn't believe how ashamed of himself he was. And people say animals are "stupid", bah! As if.
But I've been busy studying, promo-ing, living and trying to be happy. Things are difficult right now, things are wonderful but Suki Chronicles will come back eventually. Until then, my heart is with my country.
