Darla 911:Makeup Advice

My mom and I have been feeding wild life for as long as I can remember. We feed about 70 wild turkeys every day, an opossum, some raccoons, a muskrat and just recently three baby deer (we think they are triplets because they are always together). We also have two ducks that hair their babies in by our pond every year!

All the animals are so comfortable with us that they come to our back door to beg for food :) Of course being the saps that we are we always feed them. What's nice about this though is that they dont dig through our trash because they aren't hungry!

I love all animals and I think it's important for people to realize that their lives are just as important as ours!

The other day a female turkey brought all of her babies into our yard, for turkeys to show their babies shows trust because they are very private animals. We thought this was awesome, they are really cute!

If all goes well this weekend I am interviewing Irival and Owl City (WHO I LOVE!)

I am excited :)

Otherwise, Cash Cash and Breathe Carolina will be in town and it will be so nice to see all of them! What nice boys!

Do you feed any wild animals? See any cute animals by your house?

So last weekend I went to the Broadway, Enter Shikari and The Bled Show in Milwaukee. I interviewed Broadway which was a total blast, what a funny bunch of guys!

ps, thats my new hair color :)

Later on I got to meet up with Rou, Rory and Chris from Enter Shikari, it was so nice seeing them again (I interviewed them a few months ago). What NICE BOYS! I ended up going to a party with them and it was super fun, they are hilarious. We were up all night laughing and jumping the fence to the pool that was closed for the night. The security guard was not very happy! 

Rou and Rory 

After staying up all night we all ended up going to down to Chicago to see them play again, which was exhausting. They are INCREDIBLE live though, I definitely recommend them!

What big tours are you pumped to go to?

I am pretty excited for the Cobra Starship tour with VersaEmerge!

I was also pumped to go to the Glamour Kills Tour, but its going to be in Milwaukee on Thanksgiving.. Lame-O-Rama!

Of course it is easy to cake on the black eyeliner when you don't know better. But, to prevent your mom from telling you that you have  raccoon eyes, pay close attention to the women in the music business who don't cake on the black eyeliner and still make their eyes pop. Eyeliner tips ...

The 1980's are totally the new 2000's. Why would you look new if you could look like Joan Jett; all punked out, bad ass and stylish at the same time. Chekc out Joan Jett's makeup and take a closer look at how to get the look. ScarletMadeline's mastermind ...

So the other night I was up literally all night working on a press kit and was watching music videos. That music video for Drakes song "Best I ever had" came on. I was watching it and was completely puzzled as to why Drake would hire the kid from Degrassi to play him in his music video. I thought, maybe Drake is really ugly and wanted a body double? So I decided to google Drake.. and I realized.....

DRAKE is AUBREY GRAHAM who played JIMMY on DEGRASSI!!!!

Now, I am not the biggest fan of that song, but I was IN LOVE with Aubrey for a lot of high school and middle school.. so this is pretty freaking awesome!

WHAT A BABE!

Its nice that when he was done with Degrassi he didnt fall into obscurity.. 

DID YOU KNOW IT WAS THE SAME GUY!?!

why didnt anyone tell me this!?

Hey Everyone!

This contest was tough to judge and thank you all for participating! 

After much debate the winner is  Corirayne for her makeup tips for the Leighton Meester Picture!

 Corirayne's advice was great and straight to the point :)

"I would smoke it up a bit and apply nude pink lipstick.

To get Leighton's look;

FACE: Apply medium converage foundation and conealer and set it with a translusant powder. Apply a sheer golden blush.

EYES: Apply a shimmery grey shadow all over the lid. Then appy a slightly darker grey in the crease. Line the top and lower lashline with eye kohl and smudge it. Apply a generous amount of mascara to the top and bottom lash line. Fill the brows in lightly.

LIPS: Take a brick red lipliner and line and fill the lips. Apply a generous amount of gold sparkly red gloss."

Thanks to everyone who participated! We will be having another contest soon!

Congratulations Corirayne I will get your makeup out to you asap!

You won our very popular EyeLights Collection as well as some of our popular Tools and one of my favorite lip glosses :)

Love and Lipgloss, 

This fall is all about red and berry inspired lips, forest and earth toned eyeshadows with straight edged cat eyes (rounded edges are sooo out). Metallic eyeshadows (silver/gold) are very in this season as well! Get the look for fall ...

So last week I was invited to the Video Music Awards Tour at 6 flags in Chicago to interview "Just Kait" who is a 17 year old girl who can literally play any instrument and has great music!

She was super nice and I had a good time interviewing her. Her music has been on MTV a ton and also E!, which is how I had first heard of her. She and I were talking about our biggest fears, and we are both afraid of clowns. Recently 50 Cent's new song "okay, you're right" was released and he wears a clown mask in the music video, ITS HORRIFYING!

Jeeze, I hate clowns! I cant even watch that music video all the way through, even though I like the song.

On another note, I decided against becoming blonde. Its just not me, so instead I am now Bright orange with yellow highlights. I will post some pictures soon!

Next week I am interviewing Every time I Die in Chicago, which should be fun! I am definitely looking forward to that. 

The other night I was watching music videos and Owl City came on. I had heard of this guy before but had never listened, I am officially a HUGE fan and I think hes a super babe!

Hopefully tomorrow I will be announcing the winner of my makeup contest! I was very impressed with quite a few of your entries, thank you all for participating! I will keep you posted on the results!

What fears do you have? are you afraid of clowns?

What other bands should I interview?
