my April Fools' Day look...

-
oh well...so how did i celebrate (that is, if we do celebrate) April Fools' Day? Hmmm...i tried to fool myself by trying to convince myself and other people that my foundation suits me. wehhehh...

oh well, i finally gave up and admitted that my shade in MAC Studio Fix is not NC15!!!

I know that i should've waited for new stocks of NC20 or probably visited another MAC counter rather than insisting that i indeed got a good match of what's readily available at the time i tried it. you know how bad i need the virtue of Patience...i admit that I'm such a compulsive buyer that i sometime (or most of the time) end up with the wrong shade of this and that. boo-hhoo...

anyways, i tried to mix it with another foundation shade...i thought it turned out pretty well until i saw these photos which helped me realize that i was such a loser in trying to be an NC15 in MAC. (LOL...trying to be a mestisa here!)

maybe i'd be able to find something that will tone down this shade but i don't have any other MAC foundation and i'm not at ease with mixing it with another brand so i guess, i just need to get myself the right shade. and this time, i ought to make it right!

(but i'm on a no buy...wth, now that's the problem! waaah)

sniff.

oh well...'nuff with the drama. here's my EOTN/FOTN:

used: Modelco Brow kit in Dark, UDPP, She Space pigment in Driven by Instinct on the inner lid, She Space pigment in Vally Girl on the outer lid and crease, She Space pigment in Stolen Breathe under the brow bones to highlight, L'oreal Lash Architect mascara in Black and Shu Uemura pro concealer on the undereyes topped with OM Saffron Concealer


too white...ashy? wrong shade! :(

used: Smashbox PhotoFinish Light, MAC Studio Fix in NC15 mixed with a bit of The Face Shop Blemish Balm, The Face Shop blush in Pastel Pink, Revlon Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon topped with MAC gellee in Dewy Jube

What do you think?

i dunno if it's because of the flash...im used to having my face lighter than my neck right after applying my foundation but after sometime it sinks in to my skin and they will become even, but with MAC hmm i really dunno.

Product Review: Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Skin Whitening Gel....

It has been more than a month since I started using this underarm whitening gel from Gluta-C (read about its launch here ).  So did it work, or not? I'll make you bitin muna , first let me tell you what the product is all about... ^_^ Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel Formulated with Glutathione, Vitamin C and Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower extract, it lightens dark spots, prevents melanin formation and visibly whitens underarms and darker toned areas (bikini area, inner thighs, elbows and knees) for even-toned skin.   It also has Green Tea extract and other moisturizing agents to hydrate the skin, keeping it soft and smooth to the touch.   There's also protein to help slow down hair regrowth, reducing the frequency of shaving or plucking.  Hair grows back softer and thinner too, making coarse stubbles a thing of the past. I think most of us suffer from uneven skin tone on our underarms and bikini are...

  It's almost Christmas...just two days away and honestly, I don't feel like being festive.  I am going through A LOT these past weeks and as much as I want to say I am okay, I just can't.    How can one be okay when that one person whom you thought would stay with you no matter what just decided to drop everything that has got to do with you and just move on?  How can one be okay when you're told right in your face that he's in love with someone else and that he can't be with you anymore.  How can one be okay when despite everything you still want to hold on and fight for him, but he has given up already...given up on you and given up on the idea of you two being together.   We've been thru a hell lot.  Our relationship is far from being perfect. But despite that, we still find ourselves back together.  And I know we can still get through this, this time. But like what he said, things just happened. It was so fast it was like eve...

GLOWW... your way to a younger, brighter and pinkish skin...

There was a time when I was such a sucker for anything whitening. I've tried both IV and oral glutathiones, and of course, whitening lotions. Years passed by and my reasoning went beyond whitening. Having an incurable case of insomnia, not to mention TOO MUCH stress from work, my skin needs a lot of help to keep it from aging prematurely. Besides, who would want to look a lot older from your age? When news about the possible bad effects of glutathione spread on the news, I eventually stopped...i tried to keep a healthier lifestyle instead like eating more veggies and fruits, TRYING to sleep early and keeping myself away from stress. But as I get older, I realized I need more than that. I need supplements to help me fight aging and to stay looking young. I was just thinking about what skin vitamins to try when the PR for GLOWW contacted me. It was such a good timing, really. So what is GLOWW ? GLOWW is not actually a whitening pill. It's a skin supplement to he...
