So I created some beauty-related internet memes today...

I'm kind of obsessed with internet memes, so I thought it would be fun to create some that are unique to the beauty community. As is the case with internet memes, you don't ever really know who created each one, so if you share these with anyone (or on your own blog) you of course don't have to credit me (but I did create all of the following memes using memegenerator). Enjoy!

I don't get the "one does not simply" line. I've seen it and heard it around, but have no idea where it came from. *clueless*

Suzanne said...

Love them!!!!!!

femputer said...

Unknown said...

LOL! Love the LOTR one! :) Too funny!

Unknown said...

LOVE these! Great job :) I LOL'd for real quite a bit

darynkate said...

OMG these are so good!!! Great job!

The Fox said...

In the first LoTR movie Boromir says, "One does not simply walk into Mordor" during the secret council meeting of the races of Middle Earth.

Thats where it came from :)

The Fox said...

LOL These were GREAT!!!

Michaela said...

Haha, love it! Especially the first!

It basically infers that whatever topic it's referring to is being grossly underestimated. Using my meme as an example, you don't really just "paint" nails (the implication is that there's MUCH more involved, like technique, base coat, top coat, dry time, clean-up, etc.).

For the origins of this meme, check out this link:

I made you snort? I ROCK! lol! ;) xo

You need to watch Fellowship of the Ring. Not just to understand the memes, but also because you need to watch it. It's the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Unknown said...

These are brilliant!

LoliSusuwatari said...

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. *applauds*

Apriltini said...

Thanks everyone! It's been quite a while since I watched any of the LoTR movies. Consider me clued in. :D

Stacie said...

emilee said...

bahahahaha... that second one, about the lipstick.... I LOVE when that happens! The nasty girls that shop at my target seem to think the lipsticks and nail polish exist for their own personal enjoyment, ew.

Monica said...

I just checked them out too, thanks for sharing! I especially love "Allergic to new lipgloss. Use as lip plumper" LOL!

Lacquer-Loving Lawyer said...

LOVE this post, and THANK YOU because thanks to your post I now finally know the source of the "one does not simply" quote/picture. I had been killing myself looking for the connection to Game of Thrones. Can't believe I never thought of LotR.

T-Rex said...

These are awesome!

Jacqueline said...

I thought the Mordor one was referring to "painting" nails vs "polishing" nails. My mom was an instructor at a cosmetology school and I can't tell you how many times she would tell me, "You PAINT a house. You POLISH your nails." "You PLUCK a chicken. You TWEEZE your eyebrows."

I still say it wrong. She still corrects me. :)

BeautyByKrystal said...

LOL, these are so awesome!!

BRosa said...

LMAO!!! Super funny, specially the one about nails

Gabriel said...

Hilarious! The success baby one is a new meme for me. I've been seeing him saying "Back off Devil, I belong to Jesus" from my born-again step-MIL. I actually laughed out loud, thankfully I was at home and not at work.
I also appreciated the freak out when the free samples are all out. I ALWAYS seem to be in that camp, except for this last Target beauty bag run.
Thanks for brightening my day. Time for me to go "simply paint" my nails Apple Mint again.

Unknown said...

These are hilarious! Dead-on, all of them! :)

Unknown said...

Success Baby FTW!

I'm totally using those! Thanks!!
