Eyelid tape: crazy or "amazey"?

 before                          after

before                        after

I've been asked this for years?

"is there anything to help droopy eyelids"

"what can I use? I have no eyelid?"

"I want my eyes to look bigger or more open...."

Well I've known all kinds of different thing people do to "lift the eyelid area"...

but last night when I had the tv on....I saw a commercial with the craziest before and afters (you know how I love before and afters).....

and it was crazy!

The commercial I saw was for Dream Look Eye lifts....! It made me want to buy them right then! ha ha, and I don't even need them myself!

I know this idea isn't new...but when I went to read my comments on my blog and someone asked about "droopy lids", I just had to share this for anyone that might want to try.

HOW IT WORKS: A little thin strip of adhesive tape is applied to the deepest fold of the crease in your eye...sticking some skin to it and providing an "insta-lid-lift". The testimonials say they don't feel a thing, just like wearing eyeshadow. Hmmm I'll have to try it.

But this could be a great alternative to surgery. This might be the most popular item to buy before your 20 year high school reunion is all I'm sayin!

Here's some cheaper ones I found when I was trying to find the name of the eyelid commercial I saw:

Eye Charm Eye Charm-Double Eyelid Tape (50 pairs for less than 5 bucks!)

What do you think? Would you guys give these babies a try?
I wonder if they make for saggy necks or boobs...ha ha ha

Crazy Nose Job Alternatives

 As you may know... my nose is not something I am totally in love with.
However, I would never even think about getting a nose job! I can't even watch those shows that show a nose job without feeling like I'm gonna throw up....
And if you are like me...have no fear because... have I found the solution for you!
Some people may call these, crazy Japanese inventions...BUT...
I say, maybe the girls in Japan are about to be the best looking people anywhere! With stuff like these beauty gadgets....say good bye "unhappy with my nose"...and hello "nose love"....
Just clip a butterfly on your nose....and voila! Ok, well I'm not really sure what's supposed to happen..all I know is it comes with a cream called Beauty Nose- need I say more!

nose, I meant, now this thing looks like it needs a bit more explaining since it doesn't come with a cream called "beauty" or "nose" with it...I'm not sure what this is supposed to correct.
all I can access it that something about the UP part might make your nose turn up more....I'm not sure.

If anything, I hope this made you laugh, or at least smile on the inside. Or at least give you hope for your invention plans, that ones like these made it to market!

Sitting here typing and breathing out of my nose that I fear looks too much like my grandma's nose...
the one good thing about my nose is that I can breathe out of it and really that is it's main function anyway...but thanks Japanese inventors for coming up with these things to at least make me smile...because I have no idea where you'd buy one of these babies!

Trash at Chanel

I loved this...this just proves there's beauty all around, even in trash!

me and my mom took a long walk one night when we were in NYC for Fashion Week
 Our only time to walk around and see things was at night when everything was closed. There was something so peaceful about walking without all the hustle and bustle that the daytime would've had.

and we wound up walking down Madison Avenue....

it was late and all the stores were closed...

and this was the trash outside the Chanel Store...

the most glamorous trash I'd ever seen.

 the Chanel boxes looked too beautiful and perfect to be sitting there with all the garbage bags.
To me, this photo was so "ironic"...I can't even imagine the price of the shoes that went inside those boxes.
I don't own any Chanel shoes...but these boxes looked so beautiful, I would just want to take them and display them somewhere and here they were, just waiting to be picked up by the trashman!

Isn't that funny? Someone else's trash can always be someone else's treasure.
Chanel was just throwing out their Chanel-trash...and to me it would've been an art installation! ha ha

And I bet no one would ever say...I dream of New York City Trash....

your girl who takes pictures of trash to show you....kandee

PS...which reminds me....I've been meaning to go through my closet and get rid of my "unwanted treasures...and was thinking of having a "virtual garage sale on ebay"...everyone can see if anything sparks their interest and want to come and live with you! Let me know if you guys would want me to do a "virtual garage sale" on ebay or something. I have no idea when I'll do it- since I have negative time for anything right now..but if I see a big response, maybe sooner rather than later! ha ha ha so let me now what you thinky!?!

Worst and Weirdest Make-Up Product

The Sharpie Pen:

it is not a beauty product, despite what some people think!

Even Taylor Swift admitted to using a sharper pen as eyeliner when she couldn't find any "real" eyeliner around.

Do not use Sharpie's for any of the following things:

*eyeliner

*lipliner

*a "permanent" lip color

*drawing on your eyebrows

*basically anything that you really need to use any "real make-up" product (ha ha ha)

*don't be tempted, even by the vast array of Sharpie colors....

Doctor's have advised and warned against using the sharpie anywhere on your face, especially near your eyes!

Where you can get away with using a Sharpie- (according to doctor's and hair specialists)

Say you've got hair in the same black or brown shade as a Sharpie pen...and you've got some roots that need to be touched up....draw on your hair!

SMALL WARNING: if you keep doing this...it will eventually dry out your hair...and your hair will stink like a sharpie pen! ha ha ha

Sharpie pens on paper and not my eyes....kandee

How to dye your dog like a lion, tiger or bear (oh my!)

(photo sources: examiner and momslikeme.com)

Supposedly, this is the latest craze in "Dog Styling" in China.
So you just aren't happy with your dog being a dog....you'd rather have a dog that looked like a lion with a rump like a zebra...hmmmmm I have to say this dog is awfully cute!

 always dreamed of having a camel but you have no idea where to buy one- no worries, just give your dog a camel-do'.

always wanted a horse but your home is not zoned for horses....answer: give your dog a horse haircut.
And get ready to get all Wizard of Oz: We saw the Lion, now here's the TIGER:

and "Panda" bear...oh my!

and because we'd like to see more than just a dog-derrier of Zebra-ness.

I don't have any pets (kinda allergic to them)...I don't think I'd be dying any of my pets though! I don't care how hot of a Chinese Trend, animal dying is!

What do YOU guys think?
DO You think this is CUTE or CRAZY! Harmless or mean? I know what I think, but wanted to know what you guys think?

lions and tigers and camels, oh my!....kandee

Time Machine- 2 years ago I posted this silly video:

 
September 4, 2009 went a lil something like this:
(dancing and singing weirdly in the car)

to me....
weird is a compliment
I'd rather be different and "strangely out of place"
than so "common" that I would blend in
wherever I was.....

we are all sensitive (even big tough guys are usually the most sensitive, the get all offended easily, because they got "hurt", AKA disrespected), serious, talkative, quiet, calm, excited, happy, then sad, cheery then not....
There have been moments in my life that were sad and if it weren't for me being raised in a silly, "dancing in the kitchen", singing, laughing, talking in random accents (my mom was the queen of the british accent...even my Nana would tell us the best stories in accents)...I don't know if I would've made it through some of the crappy moments that I did....My great gramma always said I reminded her of one of her many sisters because I'm always smiling and laughing...my grammy always told me to dance whenever I heard music...and she still makes me laugh to this day!!!

My grandma Barbara...based a whole ministry on telling people how to cope with things through laughter and joy...she helped so many hearts....and I feel blessed to be able to read her written words...because she is wearing her "heavenly" clothes now!

This video was so fun to make...because the quirky side that only my family gets to see (usually)...gets to come out....I laughed because someone commented on Youtube..."you're trying to hard"....ha ha ha ha...if they only knew this is how I really am, when I'm in a silly Kandee-mood...ha ha ha....I wish more people knew how to have fun and enjoy it!

Please spread some laughter and smiles...and be weird and silly for me, if not for you! ha ha ha
Enjoy some silly-weirdsmobile (oldy but goodie) moments with yours truly....K-dazzle

CONSIDERED yourself warned....I am intentionally performing redonkulous dance moves in this video...now strap on your seatbelts..were going to fun town:

Beauty for your Teeth: Teeth Tattoos?

(source: JapanTrends)

As you know....

I try to bring you guys the most cool, up-to-the minute,

 most practical beauty and style tips around...

and if "Tooth Tattoos" doesn't say practical...

I don't know what does?!?

Missing that certain something with your smile?

BLAM! Add a lady bug to your lateral incisor.

You've whitened your teeth to a level "blindingly white" and still not getting the sparkle you want?

BLIM BLAP SHAPOW! Add a bling to your bicuspid or cuspid.

ok, this is not new, nor is it a tattoo, but it's from the same Japanese creators that are setting trends in Japanese temporary teeth tattoos - a temporary tattoo is placed with special glue, said to last a few days.

Or say you are a real devoted fan of  Prince William and the princess, formerly known as Kate Middleton:

(source: randomization)

The real deal is:

Teeth Tattoos are not a new Trend (note the British guy above, did that months go in the UK)- And Steven Heward, the Tooth Artist, has been tattooing teeth for 30 years, here in the USA. Look at these! He is amazing- these are paintings on teeth! For tooth-crying-out-loud!

(Source: the tooth artist)

Say you want to get a picture of your boyfriend (horrible idea, just an example) or the next best way to one-up your Justin Bieber fan-friend...

get a picture of the "Beebs" permanently "tattooed" on your tooth by the Tooth Artist, himself.

 Take that everyone that said teeth tattoos are a new thing.

 Maybe you only want to dazzle up your choppers for 24 hours-
 a pair of red lips on your front tooth or maybe a smiley face emoticon anyone?

 www.smileshop.com has been selling these babies too!

They say the "teeth tattoos" will stay in place for 24 hours, depending on your oral habits. Pen chewers, this may not be for you.

I think you have to have this done at the dentist.

What do you think? Is there anything you'd get tattooed on your teeth?

This is one tutorial I will NOT be doing.
your plain ol', boring toothed, Kandee
