It's been a while since I last posted an FOTD here.  I stay at home most of the time and even if I go out,   I don't really wear much eye makeup except for my usual winged liner.  So when I reached out for my eyeshadow brushes yesterday (for my Chelsea Grin look) I kinda thought I might have already forgot some things about blending.  But yeah, some things cannot be easily forgotten.  Though it surely helps to do some practice every now and then. Having said that, here's a look I came up with yesterday.  With Halloween just around the corner, I bet you are already thinking of what makeup look to wear for the parties you'd be attending. I know most of us don't really go for the scary/ghostly looks, so here's something you might want to try...I call this the Sexy Siren look.

Remember last weekend when I went home to visit my family and had a weekend of endless eating (and eating, and more eating)?  Well, aside from that, it was also a time to dig into my mom's makeup bin on the lookout for some good stuff. And as usual, I didn't end up disappointed. Here's a review on one of my "recent haul" from Mom:   Clinique Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-hr Eye Colour Creamy, crease-resistant eye colour wears for 8 hours. Instantly cools thanks to a unique applicator. Nourishing ingredients coax fine lid lines into a blanket of smoothness. Antioxidants help protect eye-area skin. Available in 12 colors It comes in an easy to squeeze tube with a stainless steel tip applicator which is cold.  The cooling sensation is actually relaxing, but I still recommend applying this using your fingers or with a brush to ensure even application and so you won't put too much. Cashew Later Though this is supposed to be...

I was supposed to post a "Happy Friday" look but my memory card just went gaga and totally corrupted all my images. So sorry about that...I'll post a "Happy Friday" look soon but for now, let me bore you again with neutrals: EYES: NYX HD eyeshadow base Tonymoly retractable brow liner UD Naked palette Covergirl Liquiline blast in Black Prestige white eyeliner Maybelline Stiletto mascara Revlon Age Defying concealer FACE: Obagi Oclipse sunblock + primer Clinique Dermawhite Bright-C liquid foundation Cliniqie Dermawhite Bright-C powder foundation MAC Sculpt and Shape Graftobian concealer MAC blush LIPS: Covergirl Lip Perfection lipliner in Radiant Covergirl Lip Perfection lipstick in Heavenly and here's me totally ignoring the "remark" made months ago regarding keeping myself from acting NOT my age in front of the camera: geesh, i just miss this pose!

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Totally tugless, two-way makeup remover speeds the departure of hard-to-remove eye and lip makeup. Dissolves and "lifts away" long-wearing makeup, even waterproof mascara. Non-irritating, non-stinging. Ophthalmologist Tested. Appropriate for contact lens wearers. Directions for Use: Shake well before using Saturate cotton ball with remover Cleanse one eye area at a time. Apply to eye area and hold for several seconds, then wipe with downward strokes. Use a new saturated cotton ball or tissue for lipstick removal. Rinse with cool water. I got this as a GWP during Shen's Clinique Party and I've been using it often if I'm using waterproof makeup...which I almost always do. I still love my cleansing oils but there are days when I have a lot of more time to cleanse my face. And when I do, I first remove my eye and lip makeup, then my face before finally washing my face. (excuse the oilies) waterp...

Lately, I've been playing with my new eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay a lot more often. I really find the palette amazing with great, wearable colors. This palette is undeniably, my favorite eyeshadow palette as of the moment. Here's another wearable peachy-pink EOTD that I wore in the office: EYES: TonyMoly retractable eyebrow liner NYX HD eyeshadow base UD e/s in Flow, Tainted and M.I.A Covergirl Liquiline Blast in Black Maybelline Stiletto mascara Prestige eyeliner in White FACE: Smashbox Photofinish primer Cinemasecrets concealer Clinique DermaWhite-C liquid foundation Clinique DermaWhite-C powder foundation TonyMoly lip tint (used on the cheeks) MAC Sculpt and Shape (sorry, forgot what I used on my lips!) til next EOTD/FOTD!

Remember when I mentioned on a previous blog post that I haven't tried Clinique's makeup? I finally bought some and I can say, this is a start of another brand addiction! ^_^ Clinique Derma White Bright-C Liquid Makeup with SPF 38 A long-wearing, oil-free brightening foundation, with a sweat and humidity-resistant formula that regulate oil and shine, contains a high level of SPF/PA+++ to shield against environmental assaults and future darkening, enriched with Vitamin E, P and derivatives of Vitamin C for a healthy look, provides a natural, buildable coverage while concealing skin imperfections, delivers a refreshing cooling sensation upon application and gives a naturally perfect, even-tone finish great for all skintypes packaging is cute, travel-friendly and it actually makes you think it's not makeup...more like a moisturizer. Clinique makeup is exactly like that, they have makeup that cares for the skin. Clinique Derma White Bright-C Powder Makeup wit...

Last weekend, I finally got the chance to attend Shen 's Clinique Party. As usual, I was running late and this is the scene I ran into: all these ladies are having a good time...there's a makeover, product consultation and of course, picture taking! It was my first time to attend a Clinique party and I was just so happy that it was with a good friend, Shen and of course, her readers! Shen is absolutely glowing...who wouldn't if you've just celebrated your anniversary with you fiance. ^_^ The last time I've been at a Clinique counter was years ago, so I went around checking out what they have to offer: I didn't know they have a men's line. I wish my man is as vain as me. It would be great to buy him stuff like this and make him use it. Imagine me saying "use this...then this...and next is this one..." LOL! their skintype analysis, using this would help you know what regimen would work for you more of their 3-ste...
