'twas not Friday, but i felt like playing with a bit of color. I am still in the process of making my officemates get used to me wearing makeup...and i think i'm going there for i went to work once with just powder and lined brows and of them actually asked "how come you're not wearing makeup today?" lol.. and this is what i usually wear in the office. now you know why i just can't wear LOUD colors...hehehehe and yeah, i need to clean my mirror. LOL!

For this look, i used my neglected Shiseido Silk Eyeshadow quad in Thunder and Lighting. I got it last year and i haven't been using it that much. Personally, i find the eyeshadow too powdery. And the shimmers, it falls off like crazy! I ended up with shimmers on my cheeks...argh. anyways, on with the tutorial: 1. Prime your lids. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and topped it with MAC paintpot in Soft Ochre: 2. Apply the yellow gold shade on the inner 3/4 of the lid: 3. Apply the brown shade on the outer lid: 4. Blend with the yellow, add more if needed. Blend, blend, blend: 5. Apply highlighter (MAC Shroom), curl lashes and apply coats of mascara. Line the upper and lower lashlines: Hope you like it! If you have any requests on what look (can be one of my previous EOTDs), leave me a message on my cbox or shoot me an email. tata!

i missed you, ladies. i haven't been able to post for days, my work load has been crazy like hell and i hardly had time to do something else than work. i wake up (after 3-4hrs of work), prepare and go to work. stay in the office for more than 12 hrs and then go home. sigh. today was my second day of driving lessons. it was okay. still nervous though, but i'll get used to it...i need to, anyways. it's weird...an hour later of my lessons, i felt sick. i slept for the rest of the afternoon, and i was starving when i woke up. it's hard not having somebody around you and you're feeling sick. i am feeling weak but i have to look after myself or else... oh well...my bday is a week from now. i still have no idea how to go about celebrating my 30th (shucks, i'm getting old!) bday. for sure, i'll just be stuck at work. sniff. i wish i'll be back to blogging in no time...it really helps me de-stress and not feel all alone. tata!

okay, so this would be a non-makeup/vanity post... like what i've previously posted, i've been feeling so low these past few days and i must admit...i began to lose trust on some people and on myself. i've been crying myself to sleep and was on the verge of giving up. yeah, i can be like that at times...you know, when you feel like you're always messing up and your life is going nowhere. i feel so alone...and i asked HIM why i am again feeling like this. well, i can buy stuff that i want...some of you might say "why on earth is she feeling like that? she looks so happy and she always talk about makeup.." but you see, this is one side of me that most people don't know. i might be smiling most of the time, when in reality, i am crying inside. nope...this isn't like my April Fools post. (sorry again for being such a meanie on that...) but like a friend of mine once described me...i am a what-you-see-is-what-you-dont-get type of person. not that i am plast...

(pathetic title, no?) I'm back with another tutorial...and this time, it has a bit of colors as compared with my last tut. I tell you, i don't want to scare off my new officemates with my uber-colorful looks. i prefer to shock them bit by bit. hehehe 1. Apply eye primer on the entire lid 2. Apply AWG e/s in Compassion on the lid 3. Apply Aromaleigh e/s in Strawberry Despair on the outer lid 4. Blend 5. Apply Hoppin' (from MAC Heatherette Trio 1) as highlight and blend. 6. Apply MAC Stylin' (from Lucky Tom HK palette) on the lower lashlines, line upper lash lines with Stila smudgepot then curl lashes and apply coats of Mascara. Final look: hope you like it, dearies. muaaah!

i hate being stressed...who likes being one, anyways!? ughhh. so, last week, when i started with my new job i got all stressed out already. and on top of that, i feel so sad and alone...probably because my birthday's getting near and i'd be alone that day (and worst, still going to work!) i've always celebrated it with my family or with X...but this year's gonna be different. i'd be all alone...sniff. i went home early and went straight to the mall where i got so stupid again and bought stuff when i should be saving in the first place. but i didn't pass by MAC...so i guess, i wasn't such a bad girl at all. right, Phoebe? LOL after shopping, i found a long line of people waiting for a cab...i was too tired to stand so i decided to eat first. I went to Hotshots and had these: tsk...and i said i am going to diet just the day before. yeah..i eat like a pig. those are my loots was so excited to finally get one of this..(review coming soon) i got sad even m...
