Playing with Makeup: Modern Bridal Look...

Image
it's playtime once again, and this time, it's for a dear online friend who requested for a wedding look. sorry if this took a while, sis...i'm quite sure that i wasn't able to copy the look from the peg you showed me, but i do hope you'll like this. the look is a bit modern as i've used a bit of color compared to neutrals which are usually used in bridal makeup. i enjoyed doing this look since, well...i love colors :) i actually hoped that this is the look i went for when i got married 2 mos ago. i was too confused and excited that i had no time to think of about makeup...and yeah, i was short on time too. but i'll have a second chance, as i am again getting married next year...to the same man, of course! so here's the look: PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Beguile MAC e/s in Jest, All that Glitters on the inner half of the lid and Parfait Amour, Poison Pen on the outer half. (same colors on the lower lashlines) Ricepaper to highlight MAC Penult...

Product Review: Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner

Image
I know i've already posted about my HG eyeliner months ago, but i don't think finding another great (not to mention, cheap) product that absolutely works would hurt. :) Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner provides intense colour with deep black undertones. The water-proof, smudge-proof, transfer-proof formula lasts up to 10 hours. Paraben-free. available shades: Deepest Black, Bold Brown, Fierce Blue and Daring Green (more shades available at international stores) It was just one of those days at the mall, just before going home that i chanced upon these new items from Prestige when i dropped by Beauty Bar. I've heard a lot of raves about their eyeliners, but sadly, they didn't work on my uber oily lids when i tried them. I remember buying a few pencil liners but ended up giving them away to friends who immediately liked them. When i saw these new items together with brow kits and gels, the curious me again decided to give this seemingly great stuff another chance. So i...

yet another reason to be a proud PINOY...

Pacquiao with his another world title in a 7th different weight division Once again, Pacquiao fought for us Filipinos who have been faced with a lot of tragedies brought about by typhoons and endless terrorists abductions and killing of innocent lives...not to mention the intrigues and political issues because of the upcoming election. Despite all the struggles our country have been facing, our kababayan PACMAN gave us another reason to remain a proud Pinoy. CONGRATULATIONS, MANNY PACQUIAO!

Mystic Cool eotd...

Image
i am loving this eye palette from MAC Holiday Collection...colors are vibrant, yet wearable (start with light patting and just build the color as you like). i must say their eye palettes for this collection are all winners that i am planning to get the other 3 soon. woot! anyways, here's one (more to come) look i came up with using my Mystic Cool eye palette: PAC brow kit topped with MUFE Brow corrector in 01 UDPP MAC e/s in Cool Incantation, Blue Enchantment, Deep Frosted Indig0 (all from the Mystic Cool palette) and Shroom MAC fluidline in Blacktrack Majolica Majorca Lash expander MUFE Aqua Eyes in black Guerlain Parure Extreme liquid foundation in Beige Clair MAC MSF in Light MAC blush in Dainty MAC Accentuate and Sculpt MUFE HD Finishing powder NYX lipgloss in Beige notice that blond-ish patch of hair at the side of my forehead? that's what you get when you do a DIY-hair coloring, LOL. but it's not something that can't be fixed using some root touch up color wands...

my weekend loot...

Image
thanks to mom who attended their annual fitness convention, i spent the entire weekend in a hotel room, left with nothing to do but sleep, eat, watch tv and soak in a bubble bath. i was kidding mom that i am loving that kind of life...so when it was time to check out, i was like "but i'll be missing my room!" we had snacks at the mall and then mom decided to take a look inside Beauty Bar. i had no stuff to buy in mind but when i saw this brush, i asked mom to get it for me. Smashbox Bent Eyeliner i remember Smashbox to be the first brand of imported cosmetics that i got addicted to...and then i switched to MAC. the best part of this purchase is this: good deal, huh!? i browsed the net for some information on my new brush but i wasn't able to find any. the bent eyeliner at their website is this one: Apply liner like a pro with our best-selling precision brush. The same brush head as our popular EYE LINER BRUSH #8 with an ergonomic bend to conform to the shape of the ey...

Xmas Wishlist 2009...

Image
weeee....Christmas is just around the corner. And though i remember not getting anything from my wishlist last year (boo-hoo wahahahaa), i'd still want to try my luck (accompanied with positive thinking and loads of prayers) on getting my wishes for this year: an iPhone 3GS (in white preferably). i grew tired of my old phone, and finally decided to join the growing number of iPhone users. and i don't care if anyone would tell me it's impractical to get one nowadays...this is my list and if you don't like what i have in here, go and get lost! RAWR! (kidding, kidding) digicam my ixus75 is nearing its second year and the pictures are not that clear like it used to. i initially wanted to get a DSLR but i am trying to avoid myself getting addicted to acquiring those expensive lens so i'd rather stick with another point and shoot. portable makeup table with lights and mirror i hardly go to gigs these days. so yeah, this would be for personal use. hahahaah! i think this ...

another "confused" EOTD...

Image
remember my previous "confused" look ? i say confused because i had no friggin' idea what combo i'd be going for from the moment i pick up that brush and start patting colors on my lids. for this look, i wanted to use my new MAC e/s...and tried to stay away from pinks/plums (which has been my usual color combo) but i failed LOL! PAC Browkit topped with MUFE Brow Corrector in 01 MAC e/s in Pink Freeze, Coppering, Sketch and Shroom MAC Penultimate liner in Rapid Black Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Smashbox Photofinish primer Guerlain Parure Extreme in Beige Clair MAC MSF in Light MAC Dainty MUFE HD Finishing powder MAC Accentuate and Sculpt NYX lipgloss in Smokey Look i miss really colorful looks like those i wear when i was still working on a night shift. i wish i can wear those at work again...and yeah, (if only looks could kill) die from "their" discriminating looks.

Wanted: Sexy Arms...

Image
who wouldn't want to get rid of flabby arms and have that firm arms/shoulders that would be the envy of many? And yeah, finally have the guts to wear sleeveless to proudly show to the world how sexy your arms are... well, i can say i am one of those who can't wear sleeveless and be proud of it. aside from the humongous keloid i have on my left shoulder, i have flabby...and i say, FLABBY arms. the keloid i can conceal with makeup, but the flabs...ugh. and then i came across this: looks like an ordinary dumbell? hmmm... i actually got curious and impulsively wanted to get one, until i watched the video: and yeah, that completely changed my mind. LOL! oh well, maybe it's just me. i might just have a dirty mind to start with. have you seen this? or anybody who got one? spill the beans! =)

MAC look + new haircolor...

Image
Guerlain Parure Extreme Liquid Foundation in 02 MAC MSF Natural in Light MAC e/s in Wedge and Blue Enchantment Majolica Majorca Lash Expander PAC Brow Kit topped with Beguile brow set MAC Accentuate and Sculpt MAC Hocus Focus colorful face kit NYX l/g in Beige and my new haircolor: yep, had enough of sporting a dark shade of haircolor. i asked mom last weekend to color my hair with L'oreal Casting Honey Mocha. After rinsing, i totally freaked out when i saw my new color. I think it's too light most especially on the roots...or maybe i'm just no longer used to light shades of haircolor after wearing an almost black shade for months. to see my previous haircolor, click here . so what do you think? what suits me better? tata!
