While Quinn Fabray was just so-so on the first installment of Glee’s first season, I was surprised on her change on Episode 14 onwards, especially when she announced she was pregnant. Her beauty became more appealing, and well, I love profile! So perfect for art, I must say.

If only I can copy how she does her hair and make-up, I have learned to apply make-up on my face, but it’s just really basic coverage. There is a  cosmetology school in Tennessee that everyone can go to. Regency is the fastest growing beauty school in the country. Regency has expanded from two Minnesota schools in 2002 to almost 30 campuses across nine states, with continued growth underway for next year.

Look at their eye make-up here!

Of course, this blog needs its dose of vampires and werewolves with the Eclipse movie so close to showing! This movie should be a good one as I loved Book 3 among the Twilight saga. It remains to be my most favorite among the three. The tent scene (where there is no mattress I assume) should be a good one OR ELSE I WILL BE SO ANGRY AT THIS MOVIE’s DIRECTOR Hehehe.

So where will you go? Run with the werewolves or side with the vampires?
My heart stays with Edward on this one but Jacob is one tough act to beat.

Here’s the official movie overview from Fandango:

Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.

Here’s the official movie trailer:

I got this from sister’s Tumblr site and she claims to have read only 10 out of the thousand books featured. I haven’t even gone through the massive list yet, but I assume I might have only read 5 or less. I got caught up reading romantic novels when I should be reading brain books – before my brain turned into mush. My sisters have a massive collection of books from different genres – everything but the stone sink, as the saying goes.

But I would look to this list for future reference
