Opal Stevens' Beauty Blogger of the Week: Shianne

Image
I'm very excited to announce this week's Beauty Blogger of the Week - Shianne! Make sure to follow her blog Invention of Being Her .  How did you get started blogging? Well last year I started to blog, I got the inspiration from other fashion and beauty blogs I followed, and I thought if they can do it, then what’s stopping me? Also my friend told me she created her own blog just for herself, and that gave me the idea to do it even more. My blog isn’t to make a profit off of or to have millions of followers, it is just for me to post my thoughts and fashion and beauty products I’m into. Beauty trend you love? I don’t really follow trends, but I like volume mascaras that makes great thick eyelashes that make your eyes pop (is that a trend lol) and crimson color lipstick. Also I like black eyeliner which is something I can never live without. Favorite fashion trend? I’m also not really up with fashion trends, up until like 9th grade I was a major tomboy. But I’m out

Steam Designs Etsy Shop Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Image
Many items used in the production of Steam Designs jewelry pieces were sad and lonely as they thought life was over and they would serve no purpose.  Now they flock to this etsy shop's owner from all over the world for a second chance, taking on a new life as Steampunk jewelry.  I'm just amazed at how beautiful and unique all the pieces at Steam Designs are - I've never seen anything like it. Steampunk has become a very popular trend within the fashion and beauty community.  As described by  Urban Dictionary , Steampunk is a lifestyle subculture of individuals whose style is marked by taking modern day gadgets appearing as though they are a century out of date. I especially love the jewelery pieces at Steam Designs that are made up of clock parts. Check out some of their amazing items: Necklace Vintage Watch Movement Winged with Swarovski Crystals Steampunk Jewelry Ring Vintage Watch Face Winged Adjustable Band Steampunk Jewelry Ring Flower Bead With Blue Swarovs

Nautilus Maritime Etsy Shop Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

Image
Maritime culture had fascinated Audra of Nautilus Maritime since childhood, but it was not until her teenage years -when she first began working on the brig Lady Washington- that she became familiar with the skills of the traditional sailor known as marlingspike seamanship. She found that it was an art as rich in history as it was in variability, and was the perfect combination of decoration and practicality. She continues to work -off and on- aboard the Lady Washington, where she furthers her studies in marlingspike seamanship, and ashore she seeks to produce authentic pieces of maritime art that are both original and true to tradition. The beautiful pieces you'll find in Audra's shop will have you in awe. I fell in love with all her pieces, from her simple buttons to her intricately knotted bracelets and necklaces. Audra is extremely talented and amazing at what she does. Here are just a few of the items you'll find in her etsy shop: Small "Whaler's"

Spunky Junky Review

The woman behind Spunky Junky - Halsey - describes herself as a mom/workaholic by day and a crafter/mom by night who started crafting after grad school. Eventually this fun, part-time hobby grew into a successful etsy shop full of amazing  hand crafted necklaces, head bands, and earrings. Here are just a few of her wonderful creations: Shabby Chic Turquoise Headband Turquoise Crush Headband Large Chrysanthemum Earrings I got the lime chrysanthemum earrings pictured above. I absolutely love them! These earrings come in so many great and vibrant colors it was extremely  hard for me to pick just one pair. You should definitely check out Halsey's etsy shop here !

Perfume pop quiz: Who created the celebrity fragrance model? (Cue the "Jeopardy" theme song.) Give up? Answer: Elizabeth Taylor in 1988 ( source ). Yup. Nowadays, literally everyone and their mother has their own perfume (or line of beauty products), and you can't pick up a magazine or drive down Sunset Blvd. without seeing a scantily clad starlet, spooning or straddling her life-size, eponymous fragrance. So the question is then, do all of these celeb perfumes stink or are some shockingly wearable? See the best and worst celebrity fragrances now.
