New Lady Gaga Video! :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Hi :)  So, if you're a big Lady Gaga fan, you'll have heard her new song You and I in the last two months, because that's how long it's been out on YouTube officially :)  Or, you'll have known from a little earlier, as it was on her newest album.  Either way, her new video for the song You and I has been released...  Yesterday.  And it's already got hundreds of thousands of views, cos' her videos are always crazy..  Wanna see it?
Enjoy!

Chloe's Pick of the Day, 16-8-11 :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Hi :)  So, another pick from the Shake it Up store!!  Let's take a look at today's pick:
Yup, they're the gorgeous SIU Black Holey Tights.  They only cost 78 starcoins, so they're available to everyone!  Yay!  Personally though, I don't know why they call them tights..  They're footless, and look and work more like leggings.  78 starcoins would be a bit expensive for tights, but as they are kind of just leggings, I accept it :)  I also really like the holes in it.  It DOES look like tights in the wholes, though, so I'd give THAT to them..  What do you think?  You could use these with SO many different things :)

New Direction: Song! :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Hi :)  Were you amoung the ones watching the X Factor last year?  Well, you must've spotted that boy band,  One Direction, eh?  Well, it seems appropriate that they're releasing a new music video for their new SONG this Friday, the day before the new series of X Factor returns!  Well, as you probably have heard Cher Lloyd's tragedy of a song (I decided not to bring it up on the blog), you might be expecting the One Direction boys' song to be just as bad, as it has a similar "5 Days To Go" thing going- but you can already listen to the song..  And to be honest?  It's actually not too bad?  I don't know, listen for yourself:  One Direction- What Makes You Beautiful.
Quite nice, eh?  Comments?

Purple Paradise! :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Heya, so I was looking around the Starplaza, and I came across some gorgeous pieces..  and I felt a theme coming..  Purple!!  The colour's gorgeous and suits SO many different types of skin tones!  I spent a while making an outfit and then I did a little make-up to go with it :)  Ok, so I actually quite like it, and I'll give you all of the details of where to buy the stuff, and how to do the make-up too, cos' I'm nice like that- plus, that's what you're supposed to do on blogs..  Shut up Chloe.  ANYWAYS, here's the look!
To the left you can see the outfit :)  I'm actually REALLY happy with it :)  Ooh, and below you can see the make-up a little more close up:
What do you think?  I hope you like it: I tried quite hard with this.  Well, at least if you're in a Colour Comp, and you get purple, you're not completely screwed!  I would say when wearing purple though, if you're trying to make a look: never use the exact same shade for everything: have a range of shades that work well together- and throw in white or a different colour SOMEWHERE to keep you sane :)  Anyway, next I'll show you how to create this look :)
Ok, this is going to take a while :)  This is lots of effort, so I appreciate feedback xD  Ok, from RIO Girls you can buy nearly all of the clothes for this look: the Violet Cardigan [Which I am in LOVE with, by the way] will set you back by 13 stardollars, the Purple Strap Shirt [Which I used as a skirt: have they named this up wrong?!] costs 80 starcoins which is great (!), the Violet purse will cost you 50 starcoins and you'll have to spend 10 stardollars on the Dora Ribbon Tie Heels.  Next, you'll have to head over to Bizou to buy the Slouchy White Tank for a rediculous 120 starcoins, so if you have a plain white tee already, see how it looks.  Now, you just have to arrange your outfit on your doll: but I can trust you to do this yourself.
Now for the jewels- take a trip to Splendid and pick up a Flower w Pearls costing 50 starcoins, and use this as a brooch on your cardi.  Lastly, pick up a Rose Headband which'll cost you 6 stardollars- now put it on your head :)  Make-up time!  I kept this look really simple as the outfit is SO bold, but I still co-ordinated!  Ok, major close up time:
Right, this is everything you need:
You'll only need to go to DOT for all of this make-up.  Right, starting with eyes.  Take the Techno Goth Eyepencil, costing 7 stardollars and line the outside of the eyes, to halfway across, both at the top and bottom.  Next, take the White Collection Eyepencil costing 6 stardollars, and line the inside of the eyes, up to where the purple ends.  This is really basic, but it's all we need.  If you want, you can also use the Lengthening Mascara, costing 2 stardollars if you think your eyes look bare, but my me-doll's eyelashes are dark enough, so I left it- it does tend to cover up the eyeliner, so I wouldn't recommend it.  Now, finish the look with a layer of Sunset Gold Lipstick, which you'll have to pay 8 stardollars for: this is my absolute favourite lipstick: it'll finish the look and keep it simple, not distracting from the eyes or the general look.
I hope you like it!  What do you think?  Feel free to comment :)

Sea of Stars New Nail Polish :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Hi :)  So, quickly, just a minute ago I spotted this advert on the first page:
After clicking on it, I found this:
A whole new range!  Also, the light blue polish with the royalty sign on is for 0 stardollars but I think it's only available to Royalty members.  I know I can't buy any of it, but the I actually quite like the new range, and it's all in celebration of the Sea of Stars story!  Woah that's a mouthful...  Anyway, what do you think?  Sorry this is a quick post, I've got to go so no more blogging today!  Comments?

The X-Factor Returns! :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

I don't know about you, but I usually watch the X Factor, because I literally have nothing better to do with my life.  Well, if you're like me or you actually like the X Factor, you'll be excited to know that it returns THIS Saturday, August 20 at 8pm.  (On ITV as usual I'm sure).  If you're the same as me, you'll be a little more than cheesed off to know that Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue will not be joining the panel, but Louis freaking Walsh still will be -.- which obviously pleases me.  Instead, there will be three new judges, whose X Factor photos have been released (All photos © ITV).  Take a look:

Tulisa Contostavlos.
The X Factor 2011 Judge: Tulisa Contostavlos
 Kelly Rowland.
The X Factor 2011 Judge: Kelly Rowland
Gary Barlow.
The X Factor 2011 Judge: Gary Barlow

And I guess you may want to see Louis Walsh's photo?  Here:
The X Factor 2011 Judge: Louis Walsh
 
There's also some rumour going round that Rihanna's going to pop up at Boot Camp, and maybe sing in front of the contestants.  Comments?  What do you think about all of this?

Back from Holiday :)

Written by xStarxStruckx

Hi :)  So, I'm back from holiday- I had a lovely time (Three weeks in Spain :P) and got a great tan: my summer's going great, how's yours?  I have come back to no new posts from the other writers (*Sigh*...) but nevermind- it makes me so happy to welcome some NEW followers!  Hi, and welcome to The Stardoll Notepad!  Comments from you would make me EXTREMELY happy, and I do take requests for things to post about :)  Whether it's gossip on stardoll, the real world, fashion, make-up, music- anything :)  Feel free to ask.  Get ready for lots and lots of new posts.  Not (Probably) tonight, as I'm tired from travelling and'll probably go to bed after watching Easy A in my PJ's, eating popcorn and drinking Coke.  Fun times.  See you soon!
P.s.  Looking for new writers :)
