brunette power!!!!

if "blondes have more fun", then how come all these celebrities are going brunette? practically everybody noteworthy are shifting to the dark side, sporting luscious locks of rich browns. boy, that Aniston vs. Jolie thing really did make an impact to other levels besides just showbiz gab! iluvsit!

oh, except Britney Spears. i think that Harper's Bazaar ish was just not right. i'll end it there. she should've just sticked to the "dumb blonde" (her, not YOU) image. afterall, she DID marry Kevin Federline...and still sticking with him with a second baby, at that!!!!!

here's a few of my top picks in the selection at glam.com...

much better than the blonde, with such a pale face like hers. Keira Knightley couldn't have made a better decision by going subtle on the shift. love the curls, love the highlights and lowlights, love HER. she looks SO old-world glam, i'm currently swearing under my breath why no amount of primping could give me that seemingly effortless glamour. but sometimes i can't help but notice that if you cut all her hair off, no make up, no nothing...she has angular facial features of a cute BOY...or some skinny mid-20's guy. i actually have a British male chuva friend who has an incredibly striking resemblance to her. that, or i'm just really jealous coz i'm not as skinny as her.

tsk...somebody please tell me i'm pretty!!!!

ahhhhhh...La Lohan, La Lohan. there's not enough time to talk about Lindsay Lohan. even if it's just about her hair. coz it always branches out to SO many other topics. =)

she still manages to look trashy even in Elizabeth Taylor-ish style of dark curls, bright lips, and dripping in diamonds. or maybe i'm just jealous...again.

she could've actually pulled off the blonde, had she chosen a more suitable shade. famous freckles, and platinum blonde don't really work...not unless she planned to go all Ana Nichole Smith, which is actually pretty unsurprising, considering all her latest scandals, and whathaveyous. but omg, that photo of her and Nichole Richie (her zombie-arms twin) at the Cartier event last year is still stuck in my head. major thinspiration that i still have yet to actually work on. lol.

whatever her plan was, it worked. love her, hate her, everyone's still talking about HER.

Drew Barrymore..blonde or brunette, i still love her cherub face. even though she's obviously aged drastically over the past year alone. and i'll leave it at that.

also featured were Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon, Renee Zellweger, and Alicia Silverstone. all of which, i like better in blonde. Cher Horowitz would never be the same if she were brunette. maybe Bridget Jones, but not Cher! Clueless has made such an impact on all our lives (well, if you read my blog, it probably DID), it would be sacrilege to even alter a single detail...lol!

but aside from that little detail, BRUNETTES RULE! of course i'm biased. ;) lol!

tsk...and they said Angelina Jolie (Billy Bob Thornton days) would never make a style impact! i specifically remember reading an article stating "blonde is the only way to go, brunettes would never amount to anything! look at Angelina Jolie!".

oh i'd SO love to see that columnist's face right now! to that author, two words babe:

BRAD PITT!

Givenchy schimanchy...i want it!!!!!!!

i won't lie to you guys and claim to be some fabulous makeup artist, junkie, afficionado, whatever. i just respect how it can do wonders to a non-celebrity/supermodel face like mine...and yours. ;)! i know it's important, and god knows how i've been trying to get dexterity skills to fucking apply it RIGHT. fuck, i think makeup artists are just GODS! you think makeup is as easy as that *snap*??!!!? HELL NO! i even stooped to taking makeup classes, and i still suck at it!!!! owmygawd am i that useless???!! apparently, yeah...=( so, to keep my self-esteem healthy, i concluded that makeup doesn't just take skills...it requires freakin' TALENT to perfectly apply it...fabulously.

don't get me wrong here, i HAVE learned the basics since my virginal days of "just powder and gloss". i think a perfect foundation for your skintone is a girl's (or a faggot's) bestfriend. oh god, that just reminded me that a day never goes by without me seeing a Gaisano Metro girl with horrid skintone-foundation issues. as if their uniforms aren't enough, they have to suffer those royal blue and VIOLET (not just purple, i'm tellin ya!) eyeshadows in all the wrong places!!! =( TSK!!!

so, being the "just a fan" that i am, i resort to collecting makeup instead, rather than being a know-it-all when it comes to practicality, usage, and application... i love Shu Uemura best (like the rest WHOLE WORLD), Dior, Chanel, YSL, and so on and so on. Clinique doesn't suit me for some reason, although it's the most popular in Cebu...and i would've loved it if Clinique suits my skin's PH coz it's cheap, and i could seriously use the savings!!!

but screw savings...i like everything limited and exclusive, being the self-righteous princess that i am. c'mon, you know how i feel, right? coz you know you do too. =) you may not be as much of a self-centered hag that i am, but you know everything "limited edition" and "exclusive" just gives you chills in your spine that sends some sort of electronic zing to your nerves that lifts up that index and middle finger to hand out your gold Mastercard... ;) winkydoo!!!! lol!!!

so after all that ranting, this is what i've found that could hopefully be justified after that spens of an intro...
Givenchy Prismissime Eyes
"These limited-edition shadow palettes -in Sweet Chocolate and Intense Chocolate versions- are almost too pretty to use, but then you wouldn't experience the range of luscious looks each collection of nine shades and textures delivers."

Price: $52 or PhP 2,670.80 !!!!!!!

well what d'ya know? a limited edition something that we can all actually afford here in good ol' Pinas! lol! definitely buying at Rustan's...if unavailable, definitely swiping at saks.com. and i'll be patient enough for delivery...especially coz they don't ship internationally. boohoo...twice longer the wait. =(
