perfect365 app
I choose what I do with my time wisely, and as I get older, time seems to fly by quicker than it did 10 years ago. Downloading apps and messing with photo manipulators are for people like Ahmed Angel (is this guy even real?) and emo chicks doing self-portraits in their bathroom. By chance I saw the Perfect 365 app floating around the interwebs and decided to give it a whirl.
Simply put, you upload a photo of your face looking straight ahead, wearing little or no makeup is probably the best way to go since you’re about to experiment with color. Then, you align the dots to your face the way it shows in a smaller example shot. Once the dots are all aligned, you can do things like “slenderize” your face, add blush colors, make your lashes longer and even make your eyes larger. With each tap of my screen, my face started to morph into what appears to be an anime porn character. It started to freak me out, so I stopped and published to my Twitter. You’re able to post your looks to Facebook, too! Show your friends how you look with purple eyes! Whee!
Ok, I guess I’m too old for this. On a positive note, it may help you decide what color contacts to buy next…
Don’t know if I mentioned this before, but I received a boat load of products from Soap.com a few weeks back… loving almost everything so far! My focus is on self-tanners and hair removal products, as well as sunscreens. I have dry body skin, yet oily facial skin, so I need different products for each “part”.
Two standout products I’ll mention this week are the Supergoop!’Gradual Self-Tanning’ Sunscreen Mousse SPF 20, and the amazing Jergens Natural Glow Healthy Complexion Daily Facial Moisturizer . What I totally love about these two products is that they don’t leave you with that nasty “tan mom” orange look where it looks obvious that you’re a fake baker. The Supergoop sunscreen/tanner has SPF 20 already in it, which is great, and it smells very pleasant. It is paraben-free, which is a MUST for any cosmetic or product you use on your body. I’ll say that in every post until it finally sinks in for everyone. Even my very own doctor says I should not use items with parabens in it because it will mess with my hormones and act as estrogen. The Supergoop tanner looks very natural, leaves no streaks or weird blotches. The price is a little steep; $38 for 5.7 oz. I normally don’t like to spend over $20 for tanners, but this one is pretty good.
You’re going to call me a hypocrite, but the Jergens Healthy Glow for the Face does have parabens. ::SIGH:: I was pretty upset about this, but it was to be expected since nearly everything conta
ins this crap. It works wonders for my complexion though. It evens out my skin tone to this beautiful shade of light tan. I hardly need to wear foundation at all, and I can wear it under makeup and at night when I’m sleeping. I am on a search to find a paraben-free version, and I might just try the Supergoop on my face tonight to see the results. Luckily, companies are catching on to consumers’ needs and are removing parabens from their products. Hopefully Jergens will take note.
Santana Row Fashion Show on June 1st
I was invited to attend the annual Santana Row Fashion Show on June 1st (1 pm and 4 pm, tickets available here for $40). I cannot wait to go since I haven’t been to a fashion show since I was in one myself! I’ll be photographing some awesome new fashions and going to a grand opening of a new store, which I will be revealing on Saturday.
Fun times! Summer is always great for events like these!
Oh, and I will be posting on my @kristadior Twitter page, new sandals I got from Payless and a necklace from a much-hated celebrity fashion line. The necklace is amazeballs, so I didn’t care! See you next time!
This week has already been pretty awesome. The announcement of the Phillip Lim collab with Target made waves on Twitter. Existing on the internet are only sketches of what is yet to come on September 15th. I am excited for the dresses with boots! I’m already asking around to see who wants to line up with me to cover the madness of the event.. and hopefully buy a few things.
Target and I are going to work together a little bit on another post closer to the release date… ohhhh.. so excited to [...] Continue Reading…
I just had to watch the last episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race AGAIN. This time, I watched it with my friend who I think I converted to an Alaska fan (one of the three possible winners of this season) … how can you not love her cotton candy dress? Edible fashion is always welcome. If you haven’t watched RuPaul’s show, YOU MUST. If you have a soul, you must watch it. It changed my life and I’m not joking. I really learned a lot about myself when watching past seasons on Netflix. I got better at doing makeup. The [...] Continue Reading…
I decided it was totally time for me to get better with my social media interactions and start uploading my makeup looks. Not sure if I can promise to post daily since my “work face” is usually the same thing – brown eye shadow, glossy lips, neutral blush. I’ll try to spice things up more for my weekday face just for some variety.
Not sure why some photos post sideways or upside down. Really annoying!
Have a great weekend and see you all on the interwebs.

I haven’t had exciting news in quite a while, but this time, I certainly do! Although, I will have to refrain from spilling all details until I’ve confirmed the actual itinerary of the event. I’ll just say that I’ll be traveling next month for work and celebrities and beauty goodies will be aplenty. I’ve been giddy all week, and possibly annoying the surrounding folks with my utterly annoying squeals. I’ve booked two microdermabrasion facials and I just went for my hair appointment today with amazing results.
My hair extensions were getting a bit tangled as I did bleach them a [...] Continue Reading…
Ok, no joke, I did NOT laugh when I watched this YouTube video of this girl who burned her pretty hair off with a clipless curling iron. BUT.. I sucked in so much wind, I think I swallowed a moth. Horrifying! I am not sure what in the world happened, but oddly enough, I just watched another YouTube video of a girl curling her hair with a clipless iron and it turned out freaking amazing. She didn’t hold the hair in place for 20 seconds like the girl in this video did, but she did it very quickly and [...] Continue Reading…

I will focus on bringing you my own beauty tutorials on this blog as well as my opinions… so please continue to visit me here!
While being busy after moving into a new house, I finally decided my hair needed much change. I’ve been sporting a Little Mermaid red do’ [...] Continue Reading…
