Another Eliza Dushku Inspired Look

This shoot with Eliza Dushku is just super sexy ! This is another look from the same shoot as a previous look I did on the blog - except this time its way darker and way more sexier. I love the black and gold contrast ! Wouldn't you say its perfect for a sexy night out !

I got inspired tried something similar. Except, I toned it down & I didn't do as much black as Eliza.

Lemme know if you'd like a tutorial. I'll have it up soon !





I'd pair it with this warm nude like Estee Lauder Long Wear Lip Liner in Spice. Its creamy & pigmented enough to work as lipstick. For added oomph you could add a hint of golden nude gloss like Julie Hewett - Tish.

Or you could do what I like the best - go for a cool plummy pink like Estee Lauder Plum Amethyst Lipstick with some clear gloss on top. Why not go sexy eye & lip !

Lipstick Queen Fifteen Minutes Of Fame Lip Gloss : Review & Swatches

I've been dying to write about these Lipstick Queen Fifteen Minutes Of Fame glosses for a while now.

You know me - I am total lipstick snob. Nothing about the gooey sticky mess of a lip gloss attracts me. Don't even get me started on that one fine strand of hair getting stuck on glosses.

But the I told you , I've been dying to write about these ones. Only because they...
Have the glossiest high shine creamy finish.
No sparkle. No Glitter.
Come in the most gorgeous colors.
And I am high on pinks at the moment.

The affinity to pink is genetic. My mom is a pink - addict. And try as I might, you cant find DNA.
Or I could just sing ...

"I got a problem and I
Don't know what to do about it
Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit, but I doubt it, I'm
Taken by the thought of it "

*Big brownie points if you could guess that song !*


Lemme let the swatches speak to you & then I'll yap some more.

9 Minutes - Scarlet Red
10 Minutes - Sheer Cool Pink

12 Minutes - Mauve Rose. I wanna call it peony.

13 Minutes - raspberry, baby !


They are low on the stickiness and don't feel heavy on lips. But then I am wondering - how do you feel about clicketty click click pens ?

The glosses are priced at $16.50 ( 0.05 oz / 1.45 ml) . For reference MAC dazzleglasses come at $18 (0.06 / 1.92 ml). You'll find a list of stores that carry Lipstick Queen Products here

In Other News

Indulge Me.

Please.

I was dying to tell y'all about the glosses but I am literally dying over some boys. I can feel a Boys ...Episode 4 coming up. My best friends are both married and couldn't be bothered with crushes and boys. You are all I got *pouts*

My twitter feed is clogged with up @pennmasala references. I feel like I am 14 and obsessing over Backstreet Boys. Needless to say I am a grown girl at 26 and my tastes have vastly improved. You'll see.

I did not just do that. Tell me I didn't. I did not just plant that heart there. This is gettin way outta hand and quick.

Did you check them out - tell me you did.

I am turning 14 again, except I don't have posters all around my house. Not that I'll buy em but just wondering where they are sold. Again, not that I will...

Neither am I fighting my sister and cousin over who gets whom. Yes, we did that too.Curious much - here you go. I did not just do that either. Lord help me. Its your turn now.

And ear candy ( don't makes no faces) listen to pennmasala radio on their site. Their version of Because of You is killin me ...

In a good way.

So very good way.

Thank you for indulging me. I love y'all ! xoxo

Love,

Most Controversial Magazine Covers

    
10. Wired (June 1997)


iPray

I personally bought this issue of Wired, being a huge Apple fan, and still have it to this day. The graphical power of this cover is amazing and the desperation of Apple is evident. If you were a computer owner, PC or Apple, this cover was of interest. Depicting the impending death of the biggest brand on the planet, at the time, was bound to stir up trouble. The article inside, “101 Ways to Save Apple,” is great reading especially now that Apple is dominating the creative/tech landscape.


9. Entertainment Weekly (May 2, 2003)



Three Chicks in Trouble

Being naked on the cover is nothing new these days but The Dixie Chicks appear naked on this cover of Entertainment Weekly with tattoos that read “Boycott,” “Traitors,” “Dixie Sluts” and “Proud Americans” on their bodies. This was on the heels of Dixie Chick member Natalie Maines criticisms of the impending invasion of Iraq by America. Some Americans boycotted The Dixie Chicks music and concerts for months even after this issue allowed them to further speak their mind


8. TIME (April 8, 1966)


Rumors of My Death

Any time someone questions God you are going to get controversy and this Time magazine cover from April 8, 1966 was no exception. This was the first time the magazine used an all type cover, but the question “Is God Dead?” was the bigger issue and the article inside which preached the “death of God” inflamed readers.


7. TIME (January 2, 1939)

For Better or Worse

On January 2, 1939, Time Magazine published its annual Man of the Year issue. For the year 1938, Time had chosen Adolf Hitler as the man who “for better or worse” had most influenced events of the preceding year. The cover picture featured Hitler playing “his hymn of hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine’s wheel and the Nazi hierarchy looks on.”


6. Babytalk (August, 2006)

The Breast of Ideas

Readers of the August 2006 US parenting magazine, Babytalk were up in arms over the publication’s cover depicting a woman breastfeeding, with many calling the photo offensive and disgusting. The whole point of the cover was to bring focus to the controversy surrounding breastfeeding in the United States, where a survey found that 57 percent were opposed to women breastfeeding in public.


5. Vogue (April, 2008)

Twas Beauty That Killed The Beast

One of the more recent covers to illicit controversy was the Vogue cover with basketball superstar LeBron James who shares the April cover of the magazine with supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The controversy stems from the opinion that his screaming face and cradling of a blond woman has racial overtones in its resemblance to the movie poster of King Kong and Fay Wray.


4. Art Monthly (July, 2008)

In the Eyes of the Beholder…

Art Monthly, Australia magazine sparked outrage over naked images of children by publishing an image of a six-year-old Olympia Nelson on its July cover and two shots inside. The magazine’s editors said the images were chosen as a protest against an uproar over similar pictures by artist Bill Henson. The shot of Olympia was taken in 2003 by her mother, Melbourne photographer Polixeni Papapetrou.

I have blurred portions of the photo as not to offend any readers. You can see the unedited version on the Art Monthly site.



3. Playboy (October 1971)

Black and White

While many Playboy covers can be considered controversial, this cover makes the list for breaking the color barrier which features an African-American on the cover for the first time. Darine Stern sits in a Playboy bunny chair on this October 1971 Playboy cover.



2. Golfweek (January, 2008)

Controversy becomes Controversy

Even in today’s more enlightened age Golfweek pushed the envelope a little too far. On Jan. 19, 2008 Golfweek magazine chose the image of noose to illustrate a story about a TV anchor’s racially tinged comments, but the graphically powerful photo of a noose became a controversy all its own. The editor was fired after a public backlash of negative comments.



1. Esquire (April 1968)

Ouch, Standing Up for Beliefs Can Hurt

When it comes to controversial covers it helps to start with a controversial personality and Muhammad Ali was never one to hold his tongue or his opinions. In this April 1968 Esquire magazine cover, “The Greatest Of All Time” is depicted as the martyred Saint Sebastian, patron saint of athletes. St. Sebastian was pierced with arrows for his religious beliefs. Ali is similarly pierced by six arrows, as Esquire defended his refusal to be drafted into the U.S. Army because of his own religious beliefs. He was convicted of violating the Selective Service Act and stripped of his title.



Honorable Mention

TIME (April 14, 1997)

Coming Out…Again

Yep, she is gay and this cover came out and stated as much. Time magazine featured Ellen DeGeneres with the words, “Yep, I’m Gay” in bright red bold letters as part of Ellen’s coming out party, making her television’s first openly gay star. The television character played by DeGeneres on Ellen came out later that month. Coming out twice is quite the feat, and doubly controversial.
