i'm stucked again in the office, and obviously, got nothing to do. so i thought of trying out TAAZ and see what kind of makeovers it can do for me. anyways, i am seriously thinking that i am in such a bad need of one. warning: following pictures really look stupid...LOL! so here's my before pic: and here's my after pic: and another one: lol! i personally like the second one...damn, i wish i have long, well-volumized hair like that! and now i am thinking of going back to having blonde hair. wahahahha geessh, boredom is really dangerous!

i've always been fond of wearing eyeliners...most especially those colorful ones. it gives the eyes more drama and if you are not into wearing eyeshadows, bright-colored eyeliners will surely make your eyes pop. i don't wear eyeshadows before, but i buy a lot of colored eyeliners available out there so i can add colors to my eyes. i have black, brown, blue, violet, white, green, pink, etc...but somehow, i still wished to have the same number of available colors for eyeliners as much as eyeshadow shades we have out there. and then i got introduced to mineral makeup. i got a few eyeshadows from my first mmu brand, Bare Escentuals. but i had no idea on how to apply them...well, i did. but believe me, i always end up with creasing eyeshadows, if not poorly blended colors on my eyelids. i wished to use them as eyeliners...and then i found out that i can do that with mmu e/s! at first, i tried it with water. but it doesnt really make my liner stick well. and then i read something a...

last friday night, i arrived in the office at almost midnight. geesh, late for two hours again! tee-hee. good thing we are in flexi, or else i should've been fired for my extreme tardiness a long time ago :P anyways, i arrived in the office and guess what greeted me? FOOD! yep, it was time for our monthly pig-out in our department. hehehe...there were boxes of pizza, chicken, drinks and of course, lasagna, from Pizza hut. usually, we go out to have dinner but i think they might have guessed that i'd be coming in late again so they decided to just have our food delivered in the office. too bad i wasn't able to take pictures of us pigging out. i didn't have my digicam with me. then i remembered that i have a cam phone, duh! oh well, i was able to catch what's left of my pig-out session anyway...so here it is, and take a peek of my organized and very professional workstation. hahhaha hmmm...very yummy...and oily lasagna! LOLz so now you know what i do at work......

uh-oh... i'm in trouble! i know i'm on a no-buy, but i need these stuffs! so please spare me from the sermons! hahaaha :P Nivea Lotion, Covergirl Mascara in Brown Black and Eyeliner in Black I ran out of my HG mascara, L'oreal Lash Architect, which apparently is not being sold here in PI so i need to get another one. Was thinking of getting Maybelline mascara, which mom nabbed from me, but i saw this Covergirl stall in the mall which is new so i thought of trying some of their items. I must admit, it's my first time to see a mascara with a flexible wand so i got this one. (hehehhee, curiosity can kill me at times) And though i havent been using an eyeliner, except for my mmu e/s which i use as liners from time to time, i got myself a black eyeliner too! and this one i ought to use on my waterline. eeepppp, which reminds me that i tend to look a lot more fierce than i already am with a black eyeliner. but what the heck! i must admit, i kinda miss shopping. ...

More than a week ago, i got these free mineral samples from a fellow Gtalker Marie who started her venture on creating her own mineral makeup line. As soon as i got them, i fell inlove with her eyeshadows at once. Well, i am such a sucker for mmu e/s! :) I immediately tried her foundations too and thought that Matte 3 is my exact shade, but mom noticed that it went dark on me. I have other samples left so i know i'd be able to find my match. and i did! Anyways, here are the swatches of what i got: 1st set of Iheartminerals foundations 2nd set of Iheartminerals foundations Eyeshadows (some doesn't have a name yet) Note: Per set has two pics: Top pics taken with flash and Bottom pics taken without flash When i was doing the swatches, i had a hard time with the foundations. I though they are kinda chalky and hard to blend...but like any other MMU addicts out there who believe in the virtue of patience in finding great mmu brands, i immediately reached out for my mmu found...

whew...what a mouthful. i really need to improve (yeah, damn right) my writing skills. hehehe anyways, i had this shiseido palette since last month and lately, i've been wanting to re-visit my non-mmu eyeshadows so i figured to try this one out. used: Modelco Brow kit in Dark, UDPP all over lid, Yellow (inner half of the upper lid and on the inner lower lash lines as liner) and Brown Gold (outer half of the upper lid and on the outer lower lash lines as liner) shades from the Shiseido eye palette, Fasio 3D Mascara in Brown and MAC e/s in Ricepaper to highlight used: Smashbox Photofinish primer in Light, Lauress Minimalist foundation in Radiant Ivory, Cinema Secrets concealer used on the undereyes, on the sides of the nose and blemishes, Lauress finisher in Ultimatte Medium, MAC blush in Dollmix and Smashbox lipstick in Sweet topped with Philosophy Big Lips in Rose and this is me after my shift: so that's it...i am gonna get myself a full size foundation in Radiant Ivory! ...

The LIPS No cosmetic has the potential to punctuate your mood or express your personality like lipstick. For some women, a matte red lipstick may feel too flamboyant. For others, a clear, shiny gloss may be too sexual. For you, it may be just right. The lipstick shade and texture, as well as the technique you use, have the power to transform the shape and emphasis of your lips. Here are some lip lessons in illusions: Thin lips apply a nude lip pencil to the center of the lower edge of the bottom lip or use an opalescent lipstick to create a fuller look. Old color too much lip color can be aging, no matter how young you are. for a fresh look, give your lips a stain: rub a lip brush against your lip pencil and then brush the color on your lips. press it in with your finger. Washed out intense color on the lips will perk up your entire face. when you're feeling washed out and wan, its time to slide a tube of red or garnet lipstick (or gloss) across your lips. Bleeding lipstick if yo...
