Game of Thrones Series: House Lannister

I am Lannister, hear me roar! So, here's my fourth look in the series. The Lannister Lions. The Lannisters are a gorgeous, power hungry, ruthless clan and everything about them revolves around gold. Golden hair, golden armor, golden coins, golden crowns, these guys put Midas to shame. So, obviously I wanted this look to have lots of gold (gold shimmer, gold eyeshadow, gold glitter)  - and to channel my inner lioness I teased and tangled my hair for about a half an hour. I'll be regretting that decision very soon but for now, take a look.

I'm going to come right out and say it. I'm really disappointed with this one and I'm probably going to re-do it or re-design it. It was going so well at first and then for some reason, by the time I got to eyeliner things were smudging and running and I was losing pigmentation, the lip-color wasn't right, my hair wasn't behaving, even my camera was acting up to top it all off every picture I took was ... less than flattering. Essentially, everything went to hell in a handbasket (one of THOSE days) so this is the only half decent shot I could get of it. It reminds me of a look I did almost a year ago and I think I like that one better anyways but you can decide for yourself.

Anyways, more importantly, something that DID go well recently ... I redid my blog! I was inspired by Kassie's redesign of her amazing blog Unique Desire (check it out, it's so cute and she's super talented) and I wanted to make mine look a little bit more professional and also make it easier to navigate. Tell me what you think; your comments and critiques mean a lot to me.

Also, one final thing, a big WELCOME to all the new readers I've acquired in the past few days! Wow! From 28 to 43 in like four days. My birthday is coming up in a few days so this is the best birthday present ever. Maybe I'll do a birthday giveaway to show my appreciation for all your support. What kinds of things do you like to get in giveaways?

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!
