how'd you feel if you are told to work on a weekend? geesh, can you imagine working 2 days more after a grueling five working days? just when you thought you'd be bumming at home or probably be somewhere to relax and de-stress...boss would say "come to work!" awwwww! in as much as i wanted to start a revolution and go nuts against my boss...i might as well take advantage of the weekend work by extending my Happy Friday look. at least there would be less people staring at you wondering why on earth you're wearing party makeup at daytime, tee-hee.

here's another look using my favorite UD item from ate Gracie that can be worn in the office. It's a bit out of the usual neutral look, but is still subtle and doesn't look really dark and party-ish. i hope you like it... colors i used: Grifter, Perversion and Midnight Cowboy 1. After applying your eye primer, apply Grifter all over the lid using a flat shader brush 2. Using an angled e/s brush, apply Perversion on the outer-V and the crease. Blend it towards Grifter. 3. Using a fluffier shader brush, apply Midnight Cowboy under the brow bones to highlight. blend it towards your lid colors 4. Line your lash lines with a black liner, then your lower water lines and finally smudge your lower lash lines with the same colors you have used on your lids 5. Curl lashes and apply coats of mascara 6. Clean up your cheeks from any shadows that might fallen by sweeping it with a loose powder using a big fluffy powder brush and you're done!

apparently, most of my blog readers are office girls...and are requesting for "more" tutorials on neutrals, or anything that can be worn in the office without getting stares from your colleagues. i am not a fan of neutrals, but you know how much i love my readers so i'd be more than happy to give in to your requests :) one of them asked if i only use MAC e/s...and my answer is No. I only have 2 palettes (and wishing that i'll have more) but i have a variety of e/s brands from low end to high-end. i am not particular with brands...as long as i have my trusty UDPP or TFSI + paintpot, i am good. so here's a tutorial on (another) neutral look using NYX eyeshadows which i also love. i hope you like it! For my eye colors, i am using the following: L-R: Apricot Moose, Iced Mocha, Beauty Queen and Frosted Flakes 1. Start by priming lids. I used TFSI topped with MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre 2. Using a big blending brush (MAC 224), apply Iced Mocha starting from the outer c...

okay, since i am wearing almost the same shades of eyeshadows lately, i decided to give it a little more "omph." so what's this "omph" i'm talking about? FALSIES! yep...i decided to wear falsies today. i am not really into falsies since my eyes tend to look sleepy whenever i wear them, most especially the full sized ones. good thing, i've found these "XLH" falsies from The Face Shop. I first saw them on Phoebe and it really looked natural. I then bought some, not for personal use, but for my clients. hehehhee..and when i saw how natural and fab their lashes became after the falsies, that's the time i decided to hoard them from the store. it's always OOS, good thing i got to purchase 3...and will buy more next time. The XLH lashes from The Face Shop kinda looks like the MAC HK lashes (IMHO). * thanks to Temptalia.com for the image (they look natural, no?)

(thanks to all who sent me a message and cheered me up after i posted my "Thursday Gloomy look." it definitely helped me feel a lot better...i am so glad to have you dearies!) so for my Friday look, i tried to at least be a bit more colorful and feel a lot cheerful. my officemates surely saw the difference (maybe i just got so good in pretending) and told me that i look a lot happier that day.

i know i was supposed to give you a colorful, or at least something different from what i've been wearing from Monday-Thursday...but today, i just reached for my Heatherette Trio palette and opted for a subtle look. i dunno, but aside from feeling lazy today...i feel so heavy (yeah, i know i've gained weight..but i don't mean that! lol) and restless. i am worrying too much about a lot of things again....arrrgh! i need a vacation! too much overtime in the office and lack of sleep maybe the culprits...i think i'm gonna pop a few sleeping pills and sleep the entire weekend! but i guess i am one unlucky biatch tonight for i missed the last trip of the bus....so here i am, passing time in the office and waiting for the first trip at 3am. sniff.. anyways, here's my look.
