From Girlybubble: Dear Santa: I’ve been a pretty darn good person this year. I’ve consistently dotted my ‘I’s and crossed my ‘T’s, stifled my farts in church and have kept my usage of curse words to a minimum. I think it’s only fitting that you consider my Top 5 beauty wishlist items for Christmas! More »

From Girlybubble: This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, but I’m kind of a sucker for cute packaging, especially if it’s make-up. Take Benefit’s Posie Tint for example. It’s chrome pink and named after one of my favorite flowers, the posie. To me, it’s a god-send being both a liquid cheek AND lip stain. Despite the winter season’s tendency to favor dark flushed winter cheeks over bright posie (not rosy) cheeks, I’m still willing to opt for instant gratification if it means giving me a brighter, warmer face. I’m make-up rebel, basically. More »

From Wirebot:

Do you ever wonder what certain celebrities, such as Micheal Jackson or Lady Gaga, would play if they were diehard video game fanatics? Not to say some aren’t, but I think it would be interesting to know exactly what type of shooter Frank Sinatra would be into, or just how hard Paris Hilton kicks ass in Street Fighter. These are pretty people, and because we are obsessed with celebrities, as gamers we need to know just what gets their gamerscore pumping. More »

From Girlybubble: In my tween years, Hannah Montana didn’t exist and my family had yet to discover the joys of the satellite dish. Instead, I resorted to a lot of daytime talk shows for after school entertainment. I watched all the classic ’90s daytime talk shows; Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake, Maury — I watched it all. It was always the “Geek to Chic” episodes I enjoyed most. What’s not to fancy about the idea that someone average could look…not average? Although those talk shows are long gone, the idea of the make-over movie has yet to escape Hollywood. Enjoy some of my picks for Top 5 make-over movies! More »

It’s pretty much agreed on that some games are art-based - they feature beautiful and/or stylistic artwork, and sometimes the art is really what makes the game. Many games can be called a work of art. But can a work of art be a game? Usually the art in a game takes the backseat, aiding and enhancing the gaming experience. But recently a number of games have begun to question what would happen if the art was the game. The point is not to get through the game and “win,” the point is to just play for the sake of playing. Sometimes, there is no point. The focus lies in the experience. You as a player are placed inside a work of art, and your actions influence the whole artwork in general, or help you discover new ways of seeing it.

You might call it interactive art. More »

From Girlybubble: Every mood I’ve ever experienced in the entire history of me being me, has had at least a song or five dedicated to it. The most important mood that calls for music in my life is the, “GOTTA GET FIERCE!” mood — GGF if you will. GGF is the mood you experience when you wake up feeling like one sexy mama jama. On that particular morning that you wake up, your hair does exactly what you want it too. Your butt, you’ve decided isn’t so bad and you suspect a certain twinkle in your eye for no reason. You’ve also got a hot date that night, to top it off. That is GGF. The following songs are all about GGF and are my picks for the Top 5 girl anthems to beauty. More »

From Ningin: BoA, the epitome of beauty should be no surprise to own most of the best beauty commercials. Before Girls’ Generation and Son Dam bi were crowned, BoA has been remained the queen of advertising in Korea. A few good beauty companies are tied to her name such as Fasio (Kose), Maybeline and Missha. Ever since BoA debuted, her gorgeous face has been captivating audiences and hypnotizing men and women alike with the combination of her charm, sexiness, innocence, beauty, charisma and star qualities.

Though some might use the expression “Beauty is only skin deep,” growing up in America we all know that is a complete lie. Beauty means everything in our society, and that transfers over into the video game nerd universe as well. Maybe not so much for the players, but definitely for the medium. We don’t want anymore polygon hands or paper thin environments! What we really want is CGI cutscenes and explosions so realistic looking that the heat from the blast comes right off the screen and punches us in the face!

Okay, maybe I got a little carried away there. The point though, remains. Beauty and fashion are important to us denizens of earth and because of this, Mixr Media is launching a brand new site called Flauntme! Why you ask? BECAUSE WE GOT IT! More »

From Ningin: Japanese cosmetics pioneer Shu Uemura has once said, “Beautiful make-up starts with beautiful skin.” I may not be a beauty expert, but I respond with, “Beauty web sites start with Ningin specials dedicated to Asian beauty because Ningin is a community of beautiful people.” Obviously, Mr. Uemura is more of the wordsmith when it comes to beauty. As of today, our newest Mixr sibling site FlauntMe, will be your one-stop destination for all things related to beauty, regardless of what color you are. To celebrate FlauntMe’s launch, we’ve got a lot of fun blog posts dedicated to Asian beauty planned! More »
