2008 is on it's way out! Excited Much? Anyway...This is a look similar to the look I would do if I were going someplace nice for New Years... I probably would just go more smokey with it.... Ehh, Whatever! Here We Go! And the pics do also feature the SAME dress from the other day.. Yep... Happy New Year! Slow FACES for the NEW YEAR! Eyes UDPP Mehron AQ Pastel Palette-Purple Ben Nye Cosmic Violet- Inner 1/3 Milani Wild Violets Quad Purple (Top Right)-Rest of the Lid Ben Nye Amethyst- Outer 1/3 Hard Candy Disco 2000-Crease Ben Nye Cosmic Blue-Crease Hardy Candy Star-Highlight Hard Candy Butterscotch-Highlight Highlight Cream from Brow Kit-Highlight H.i.P. color Truth Liner in Black-lashline Almay Eyeliner Pencil in Navy-Waterline Be Responsible and Please Be Safe! oh... and a tut!

So I did a "Bantu-knot out"... after I cowashed and deep conditioned my hair... Basically you twist your hair and then twist it around itself and when you take it out you'll get this curly look... You can also just wear the knots... So yeah, here are the results... Me loves! Now let see how long it stays... The coils look like this at first... I used some Blue Magic to separate the coils... ........................................................................................................................... And lately... Quite a few people have been asking what I use in my hair and what I do to my hair... Well, let me see... Starting with the perm... I get 4 to 6 relaxers a year...for the last couple of years I've been averaging 4... I'm a stretcher and I just found out... One perm per season sounds about right... My last one was at the end of September...Next one will be on January 10 2009 ... I braided it instead so who know when I'll get another perm.....

So hey... Yeah... First I wanna say thanks to all those who follow my little rinky-dink blog... Then, ( if you will ) I want you to tell me like 3 things ( random or basic, i love random tho ) about your self.... Starting with your name and then you can take it away from there... Here...I'll start... My name is Christa C. Sutton...my first and middle names mean ( well thats what the baby name book said, back when i was born ) "anointed one making famous"... I've been in college for 9 semesters so far, and I've changed my major once... I just might be the meanest, nice person ever... ;)

Boy, you can meet some desperate losers on MySpace.... I mean does the internet just make people extraordinarily weird or something? Garsh...No wonder I had my notes turned off.... But, Hey if you're on MySpace and would like to add me... Do So... http://www.myspace.com/makingfamous p.s. You like my new banner? It's kinda big, right? But more simple...

This is just a l'il something for my subscribers/followers, Thanks for all the support... Happy Holidays!

"Diva" Now, I'm not in love with the song.... But the video is kinda hot... YouTube is deleting things as usual ( so I have no video to show you...or do I?*goes to check* )... but I like the concept of this one... It'll only be up briefly.... "Halo" Now, I fricking love that song! And is that Micheal Ealy in the video? We all know he's been hot since Barbershop... Anyway, Yeah I was getting a sneak peak...YouTube really sucks sometimes...

So...I'm making a hair goal... My hair sits about a quarter of the way down my back now.... So, my goal is that it'll be at least 3/4th of the way down my back by this time next year... I mean.... I take decent care of my hair now...but I think I'm going to do less heat styling...( especially since I hate blow-drying my hair )....and more wet sets... I'm going to be trying to keep my hair moisturized and what not....and my scalp healthy... ........................................................................................................................ I've had quite a few ups and downs with my hair....this year has been an interesting one... My hair went from this...(March 2008/Bra Strap Length) To this...(April 2008/Barely Shoulder Length)... my ends broke off...I don't quite know what I did wrong... And almost back to where it was...(December 2008/ Almost Armpit Length) Yeah..... It's healthier than before, tho... So the way I see it...I'm gonn...

So...I wet set my hair.... And this is what it looked like fresh out of the rollers with a slight comb through... And while I love wearing it big like this....the roots where just too tight for my liking...so I had to straighten them ( well my mom actually... ) Before & After ( click to enlarge ) So then....With my hair all flowy and whatnot...I had to/ wanted to play in my makeup.... One eye is based with Mehron AQ and the other with Styli-Style Shadow Base.... Can you guess with is which? YEA! they look the same....( I am painstakingly aware that the colors are out of season...and I'm still trying to decide whether or not that's something I care about.... ) then i glossed them up with some makeup remover... yeah..I'm fun....lol... Eyes Styli-Style Shadow Base (Right Eye) Mehron AQ Pastel Palette-Pink (Left Eye) Ben Nye Azalea (Lid) NYX Africa, Hot Orange (Crease and Above) Lancome Contrast [?] (Crease) Ben Nye Sun Yellow(Inner Corn...

So yeah... I have the Ben Nye Palette...which I love! But now I see this knock off--and I'm tempted to get it... It's from Beauties-Factory ... I've only seen like two reviews for it and I'm very skeptical... but I still want it! or maybe just the 12? Maybe not... Maybe... Just a thought...

So instead of being like normal people and sleeping or chatting on the phone or watching tv...I play in the makeup.... so yeah..here are like the pics.... and I only did one eye!(no foundation or anything... my pure unadulterated face) Go on with your day... "wit'cho fine selves" I used Dark purple AQ-MehronAQ Pastel Palette(Base) Milani Wild Violets Quad-Bottom Right Purple on Lid, Bottom Left Purple in Inner Corner, Top Right Purple from Crease almost to highlight Ben Nye Cosmic Blue-Crease Urban Decay Oil Slick-Crease Urban Decay Polyester Bride-Highlight

If another old man says this to me...I swear! Is it like the only line they know... " Smile.... wit'cho fine self ... have a great day... wit'cho fine self .....why you look so mean... wit'cho fine self ... " Surprise me with another line, perhaps....

So finally it's nice and bright outside so I got to do a Christmas Look... Here are the pictures.... Face Maybelline Pure H2O Foundation in Caramel Dark #2 Maybelline CoverStick in Deeper Beige Hard Candy Bronzer Sinful Colors Blush in Doux Sable Eyes Styli-Style L3 Shadow Base Ben Nye Chartreuse (Inner 2/3) Ben Nye Jade (Outer 1/3) Ben Nye Aztec Gold (Inner Corner) Maybelline Jade Emerald (Crease) Urban Decay Oil Slick (Crease) Hardy Candy Butterscotch Ben Nye Iced Gold (Highlight) Lips Sally Hansen Lip Quencher in Clear L'Oreal Glass Shine in Berry Glow

I just read somewhere that no one watches House, you know that show that comes on FOX... Well I must admit I love that show... It has to be the complete over dramatization of the doctor House...He's outrageous and we all know that if he acted like that in real life he most definitely would be fired and sued often... Or could it be that he is the culmination of a man who is lonely, and faith-less, and sad, and all those other things... I love the show, and I kinda think Hugh Laurie is hot...lol... I remember him in 101 Dalmatians, he played a bad guy... But there is no doubt in my mind that other people watch/love it too....

So, I've had my Styli-Style L3 Shadow Base for like 3 months now... And I've come to the conclusion that I love it.... Product: 4 out of 5 Packaging: 4 out of 5 Quality: 4 out of 5 Overall: 4 out of 5 Price: $8.50 @ CherryCulture.com Would I buy again? Yes What does Styli-Style say about their base? Imparts a luminous glow and sheen to eyes with an opalescent shimmer. Ensure long-wear glamorous colour. Pros: Very good base, a little sticky and totally clings on to the eyeshadow. Reasonably Priced. No heavy shimmer in the product like other paints and creamy bases (shimmer is barely noticeable).Allows for easy blending of colors. Easily removed with soap and water. A little goes a long way. Cons: Very white in color. Sometimes hard to blend out(the product itself, not the shadows). Too much product will result in creasing of eyeshadow. It comes in a screw-top container (Yeah, I know it sounds silly but it would be so much better without the screw-top)...

Today... I was going to make a video....you know doing a Christmas/ Holiday inspired look, right... and I do my video by natural light...so of course it would rain today...and be all dark and cloudy... so I was like.."no, that won't stop me".... so I decided to try and do my video in pictures....and it wouldn't capture any of the freaking colors! ARGH! So basically I beat my face for no reason today.... but I do have pictures! ................................................................... disclaimer: this was so much nicer in person/real life...you could see the golds, and cranberrys, and browns, and everything so much better... ARGH! ................................................................... So here we go... Pointless Pictures.... and a dark lippie...YEA! So Yeah...I guess I'll have to try my Christmas/Holiday Looks another day... Since this one failed to photograph properly... I think I'm going to do... Go...

Like... This is my sorry excuse for Makeup Storage... I definitely need to look into a( nother ) Train Case... I had one... It died... ...well not completely...but it's useless, the clasp broke so it doesn't stay closed... So Yeah...anyone want to donate a train case to the "Christa has No Place to Put Her MakeUp Foundation" or the C.N.P.P.M.U.F.... Yeah that's dumb... Any suggestions for nice train cases, or makeup storage?
