fierce!

i've been really having a hard time to sleep these days that my eyebags are much, much bigger than my eyes already. eww, yuck! and i know i should try to stay away from putting on eye makeup that will draw attention to my eyes. but i just can't help it. it's like, i am "forced" to use up all the makeups i've been buying for the last few months...and besides, i also need to practice, practice, practice!

this look really came out fierce. i know it did make my bags look more noticeable. oh well...another boo-boo, maybe?

i wish i can go back to just wearing mascara for my eyes...for months now, there was never a single day (unless it's a weekend and i am just staying at home) that i didn't wear eye makeup. and yeah, i am really running out of color combinations. i wish i have time to watch tutorials or copy certain looks.

my eyes looked smaller in person in this eye makeup. an officemate of mine commented that my eyes look chinkier. huh!? me? with chinky eyes!?

tee-hee!

going back to mmu eyeshadows...

it's been a while since i last used my mineral pigments for my eotn. i'd be forever grateful to them since they started my addiction with eyeshadows. i've been addicted to foundations and blushes and might have been buying eyeshadows before but never got to use them...until i got so amazed with the colors of these mineral pigments.

so even though i am starting to get addicted with MAC eyeshadows, i will never, ever abandon my collection of mineral pigments. besides, i still have tons to use!

i dunno what to call this look...any suggestions?

(sighs)

my first MAC Heatherette loot...

(as if i got a lot! hahahaha)

anyways, i got the loot from MHEAN yesterday and i was so excited that i ripped the plastic off! X was laughing at me coz i even used my teeth to get rid of the tape that covered the items.
hehehe...that's how excited i was!

here's what my lovely enabler sent:

eye crease brush, l'oreal elseve hair serum and (drumroll)....Heatherette Trio 1!
thanks sis for the generous freebies!

i was really giddy while taking these pictures. now, i want Trio 2 too! (uh-oh)

X asked me if i'm going to depot them as well...hell no!
hahahha sorry, he has no idea bout makeups...

"sweet girl" look...

for this look, i tried to stray from my usual "fierce" look. i know i've been using a lot of pinks and purples in the past, but i always combine it with something dark like blue, grayish black or dark green. so for this LOTN, i tried to pull off a sweet, innocent look:

FACE:

Cinema secrets concealer on blemishes, side of the nose and undereyes
Lauress Minimalist Foundation in Radiant Ivory

EDM Blush in Walkee Talkee
MAC Sculpt and Shape to contour nose

LIPS:
Smashbox lipstick in Sweet

i actually wore a pink headband...yaiks, pink headband with my yellow blouse. hahahaha..but i forgot to take a picture.

so anyways, i hope i was able to pull this "innocent girl" look. honestly, i still prefer dark-colored eyeshadows. :)

trying out my MAC eyeshadows....

yeah...yeah...i know they are stuffs for school. but would it hurt if i try them on? :P

so here's a usual blue-purple look, this time using MAC....

woo-hoo!

(thanks to Mhean my lovely enabler!)

what can i say...hands down to MAC. i love its color payoff. a little definitely goes a long way. you have to start lightly and then just build the color up.

now i'm tempted to have them "JUST" for personal use.

wahahahha...

i want more MAC eyeshadows!

finally, my traincases....

since last week, i've been on a hunt for a traincase that will be enough for me to contain all my stashes for school. i went to Beauty Bar (though i know it'll be too small) but the black traincase is no longer available. i was tempted to borrow my mom's but it was a gift from me and X last christmas and i just cant bring myself to borrow it even for some time.

today, i had the chance to go to Quiapo (recommended place by some fellow forumers) and look for a traincase. i really wanted to get the one from Watercolors, which is by the way of color pink, but the small size is already 7k! darn...i first went somewhere in Makati to look but apparently what they have are those makeup tables with lights, prices ranging from 8k-12k. i texted X and asked him if he can accompany me to Quiapo and he said yes...after which i changed my mind and told him "maybe some other time." hahahha! as if he's the one asking for a favor, no!?

anyways, after almost an hour, he finally convinced me to go. anyways, i really need a traincase next saturday because my back really hurt from carrying those two bags containing my stash. we went to Quiapo around 2pm and gosh, there are a lot of people roaming around. X had to get my celfone from me because i tend to text while walking...he even had to get my wallet from me, that's how clumsy and stupid i can be...

okay, enough with the blabbing...here's the pics:

my trolley traincase -- front view

back view

side view

tadah! you need to remove the handle at the back before you can open the traincase like this, or else, just the other half can be opened.

i also got another one...what for? hmmm, for personal use? LOL..kiddin! well, this one's smaller so maybe i can bring this when i only need to bring a few stuffs:

traincase no.2

open, sesame!

the compartments can be taken out

weeee..i am so happy. now i only need the brush belt and i'm "almost" complete...

again, my traincases:

and this is me modelling my "CHANEL" bag...wahahahaha...

(faker!)

don't worry, i took out the Chanel logo...i just love the color:

me one happy shopper...but broke, arghh!
