I'm sorry!

I know I haven't posted a lot lately, because I am working on a new project. The person posting mostly has been Ess, and I so appreciate you doing it =]

Greedy Stardoll?

I was just going through Superstar Giftcards and found something unfair. 

(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

I find it ironic that there is a price difference. Why do I (a person from Australia) have to pay more than someone from the USA? 

The Australian Dollar is currently tranding 1.00036 US cents so the Giftcard price should be lower.

But why is the price so high? Simple - Stardoll is greedy.

What do you think of the prices?

Do you think it is fair?

Stardoll Make-up Tips

So here I am going to show you some Make-up Do Not’s and how to fix them.

Since I am taking a break from Youtube videos for a few months (Exams), I thought I would add this small article I wrote for my own blog. It may make a nice little change from watching my videos.

1. Noddy Blusher

I see this all around my school every school week. It’s annoying and I just don’t understand how teenage girls think it’s attractive going around looking like Noddy. They think it makes them look extra pretty, but in actual fact it just looks stupid. It can work on Stardoll, this is just me over-exaggerating the Noddy Blusher in the snapshots below.

Maybe the Blusher on the bottom left-hand snapshot isn’t too bad. It was so much fun creating the clown, even though it is quite creepy to look at when you’re home alone.

Side Blush

Not a great look either. You may as well go to the Whip My Hair store and buy the Pain marks for your cheeks. Also it can work on some occasions but just plainly, it doesn’t look great when you over-do the Blush.

How to Fix this Problem

First step is to buy the right Blush. Do not buy a heavy opacity Blush.

Buy a Light Pink-ish or a Light Tan Blush to begin. This means less chance of Noddy face appearing and you have more control over the harshness of the colour.

Learn how to apply Blush discreetly

There are quite a few ways on how to apply Blush, but I prefer this way as it decreases the chance of me creating two symmetrical round circles on both cheeks.

You want to start at the corners of the cheeks where there is a noticeable V shape. Drag the Blush down, near the corners of the mouth.

Blush isn’t there to paint your face, it is there to add a slight colour to your cheek and define your cheekbones. It is supposed to look natural, not like war-paint.

Here is a Comparison between the Deep Red Blush I mentioned before, and a Light Pink Blush that I circled in Green.

First Stroke

Second Stroke

Already on the second stroke the Red Blush is starting to look too much, while the Pink Blush still looks natural.

So before you purchase the high concentrated Blushes, I suggest for a more casual look for your Medoll – purchase a slightly Light Pink Blush instead.

The Red Blush is Dot’s Red Flame Blush, the Pink Blush is Dot’s Pink Legacy Blush. Both Blushers are available in Starplaza.

2. Too Much Luxe

This has just appeared recently.

Sometimes there can be a sparkle over-dose. This is only a snapshot so you cannot see all the different sparkles appearing all over the place.

How to Fix this Problem

This can be easily toned down. Instead of using a Luxe Dark Green Lipstick and applying Luxe Lipgloss as well, use a Pale Pink Lipstick then apply Luxe Lipgloss – or remove the Lipgloss out of the equation.

Even though I am not a big fan of Luxe all over the eyelids, I still prefer the Medoll make-up to the left.

Or you can switch the situation around, Luxe Lipstick and Plain Eye-shadow.

Having detailed make-up with Luxe Lips is a lot better looking – in my opinion – than Luxe all over the eyelids and lips.

Although it can look great when you have detailed Luxe eyes and lips, just not all over the eye look for me.

3. Stripy Lips

There are many different types of ways you can creatively use Lipsticks and Lipglosses on Stardoll.

Last 3 Lip looks I created myself on a Youtube tutorial.

It can look amazingly creative and sometimes it just doesn’t work – especially with Striped Lips.

How to Fix the Problem – Find the Right Lips

Sometimes it depends on the lips you use.

Now the last one doesn’t look too bad, although it is very difficult to create Horizontal Stripes on Lips that are very small.

Pick the Right Colours to Use

The one on the Right just doesn’t look great, reminds me of a wrapping of a Chocolate Bar. So pick two colours that compliment each other or have the same tones.

4.Winged Eye-shadow

Now ever since _-_Beatyvax_-_ showed me how to create proper winged eye-shadow, I have been hooked. Although there are two different kinds of Wings I prefer to create.

Recently I’ve been looking around on Medoll and applying Eye-shadow directly to one side was becoming very frequent and I just don’t see what’s great about the trend. I think it looks pretty stupid and people still class it as a wing.

If you blended eye-shadow on the centre of the eyelids then it would look a lot better but I see a lot of people who use plain Black Eye-shadow.

How to Fix this Problem

Use different colours beside black and blend.

One hack after another...

UPDATE: Poohg_1993 and .Marcela.. have re-activated their accounts. Try to help them get their rares back.
-- 

It seems that multiple elite accounts have been hacked recently, all in the past week or so.

First Poohg_1993, then emorox4eva and now .Marcela..

 To read about Mandy's hacking, look HERE and HERE

To read about Jenna's hacking, look HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE

To read about Marcela's hacking, look HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE

So what do you think about this?

I can't believe how Jenna got hacked. With Marcela, I got this e-mail from her (or was it her hacker) before she was deleted:

UPDATE: I ASKED MARCELA AND SHE SAID THAT THIS WAS HER. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NEGOTIATING WHEN SHE WAS HACKED.  

It would appear that Destiny wanted money. It's so strange that her account is still active seeing as she is "Stardoll's most wanted hacker" and I quote from her.

I can't get over how little Stardoll are doing to help these poor girls.

I suggest a few things to help you not get hacked:

-Use a virtual keyboard (or an on-screen keyboard which should be installed on your computer) to type in your Stardoll password so that if you have been key logged, the hacker cannot get your password.

-Use this website TypeUpsideDown to type your password upside down.

-Have a separate e-mail to receive Stardoll notifications and for blogger, Facebook, MySpace, etc. to prevent getting hacked.

-Have different passwords for Stardoll, e-mails and other social networking sites. 

I hope that these helped you and that you'll have better luck with not getting hacked.
