Store Statement: Active

Yesterday Stardoll released a new store called Active full of gym and sporty clothes. And yes, our dolls definitely don't need to exercise so this might look pointless, but there are a lot of items that can be quite cool thanks to the urban-sporty trend going on for quite a while now.

One good surprise that came with these collection is quite a lot of items available for starcoins, which are quite basic so they can be pretty useful for some outfits. Clothes for starcoins is always a good thing! ;) 

This time instead of picking some favourite items I went straight to the part of the outfits and I featured the items there. Hope you like them!

What do you think of this new store?

Splendorous: Kylie Lip Kit Swatches

Hello, hello! Here am I again with another of my Splendorous posts. Since I'm becoming such an addict for real life make-up, it looks like the addiction is arriving to my stardoll doll as well. Lately I've been super obsessed with the new products Kylie is launching on her own brand: Kylie Cosmetics. I absolutely love everything! Since I don't feel like spending those big amounts of money and what bothers me most, the 15$ they charge for delivery... I'm constantly searching for dupes. And that, my friends, have arrived to my second world: stardoll. So, in this post, I'm gonna show you how to achieve every single lip kit shade.

First, let me say that I was thinking of making two parts for this, but since I did them all at the same time, why not post everything at the same time? And doing it all at once I'm assuring that I'll start and finish, not start and end it 7 months later (if you know what I mean... ejem... Christmas Gift-O-Meter... ejem).

Second, I tried my best. It took me a lot of time to accomplish some colors, trying to mix different lipsticks, adding less or more layers... You know how stardoll make up works, it's not as easy as real life make up. The shades I got are inspired in both the color on the bottle but also the swatches I've seen all around YouTube and Instagram. Anyway, enough talk, I hope you like them.

I added the description of the real product that is written on the official website, Kylie wearing the real lip kit, the products I used and the colour I achieved.

REMEMBER TO CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO SEE THEM BETTER

Have in mind that I tried to do it with what I have in my beauty parlor, and I succeed in making all the shades I like. The only ones that I would never buy, are the ones I've done in the Plaza. I'm sure you would be able to find similar shades at the shop right now, if you don't know how to do so, just let me know in the comments and I'll try to find the appropriate combination.

Shopping: Rio Alexa Gold Sequin Skirt

I always think it's interesting to do Shopping posts about starcoins items as it's easier to earn them so even if you don't have enough at the moment you can save a bit for a few days and buy it. That's why I thought about doing one for this gold skirt. I think its shape it's really cute and flattering, but at the same time, being gold it's a little bit more difficult to style it and less versatile, so maybe I can give you some ideas if you're unsure of it's nice item or not.

For the first outfit, I don't know why but I thought that it would look cute the gold combined with leopard print, in small amount though, as if there were lots of leopard it would end up looking tacky. So I first put on the lace top as I think it looks lovely underneath blazers or other light jackets, then added the blazer which is perfect cause it has small gold buttons that match the skirt and finally went for a little more special touch with the leopard heels. As I was already wearing a black choker and the heels of the shoes were black as well I went for black accessories like the clutch and thin belt.

The second outfit it's kind of normal but at the same time nice. Gold and black, safe combination. I went for a little bit of and edgy style with the ankle boots and the biker jacket, but with the elegant touch of the gold skirt it all blends into a casual outfit.

The third outfit would fit into a Simulating post as it's a copy, not mine. I was looking to some photos through Pinterest to get some inspiration and saw this photo of a gold skirt from the Balmain Spring Summer 2012 collection (By the way it's amazing this is 4 years old... I feel like if only had passed a few months... I'm getting old.). At first I was only going to copy the idea of styling it with a denim shirt, but then I found in my closet this big gold belt and realised it looked almost the same so I went with it and copied the entire outfit. So Balmain from the runway to the streets! ;)

Finally, the fourth outfit is also the product of a little bit of research through some street style photos. I saw a lot of girls wearing sequined skirts with big rock t-shirts and I thought it was actually a good idea. A mixture of peep-toe ankle boots with strap heels with gold details and a Saint Laurent red bag to add a little bit more of colour and ready to go!

I would have also liked to include one outfit combining the skirt with other colours other than white or black but I didn't have more time and not a single idea of how to do it so... maybe another time ahhahaha! Anyway, you can also share your take on the skirt in the comment section, I would love to see your ideas! ;)
