Woohoo, it's a Thursday once again! (happy dance) I can't wait for this day to be over and off to another great weekend I go.  The husband's back from a short  trip to PH and since it was our 257th monthsarry yesterday,  (hahaha, oh yes we still count!) we're going out for a movie date tonight. Have you watched Fast and the Furious 7 already? I heard it's good. I'm excited to see it and of course, eat my favourite movie snack...nachos with loads of jalapeño and cheese!  It's gonna be a pig-out weekend once again!  Also, we'd be going back to Ras Al Khaimah tomorrow for a short weekend getaway with some friends.   Yahooooo! ^_^ And so before I lose myself from thinking too much about this weekend (and food), let me share with you another review. This time it's gonna be about this foundation that has been my favourite for a few months now. Last year, I've blogged about the Sephora 10hr Perfect Wear Foundation and...

Who says you can't wear makeup at home?  And who dare says you can't sport dark smokey eyes while cooking dinner?? Says who!? Come forth and I'll slit your throat! I'm kidding, of course! ^_^ Here's a look I came up with just because I got so bored looking Au Naturel (totally no makeup on) on most days.  And yeah, I whipped up this look just before I start preparing dinner.

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.

The weather's messed up again.  It was scorching hot yesterday afternoon but it rained like crazy in the evening...does that mean summer has ended already?   ^_^ Anyhoo, here's something I wore to get my mood hyped up despite the wonky weather: K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow L'oreal eyebrow pencil MAC brow set in Girl Boy MAC eye shadows in Aquadisiac (lid) and Sweet and Punchy (crease) K-Palette 24Hr Real Lasting Eyeliner in Black (new formulation) K-Palette 1Day Lash Perm Volume Mascara Max Factor Facefinity liquid foundation in Sand Benefit Fakeup concealer in Medium Revlon Age Defying powder Sleek Contour Kit in Medium MAC Betty Blush in Cream Soda MAC l/s in Please Me + Peachstock Yay or Nay?

Have you ever worn orange red-toned eyeshadows?  For a time, I stayed away from them because they can make the eyes (or worse, the face) look swollen and tired. When used properly, these eye shadows can still make you look fresh and fab without having to look clown-y or haggard. For today's FOTD post, I used orange red-toned eyeshadows for my lids and gave it a smokey look by blending it with a sheer pink eyeshadow: K-Palette Long Lasting Eyebrow L'oreal Eye Pencil In2it brow powder MAC Brow Set in Girl Boy MAC eyeshadows in Coppering + Firecracker (lid) and French Cuff (crease, tearduct and lower lash line) K-Palette Long Lasting Eyeliner K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Volume Curl Mascara Obagi ZO Oclipse Primer + Sunblock MaxFactor Face Finity Liquid Foundation in Sand Kanebo Mineral Powder Foundation  Sleek Contour Kit in Medium MAC Beauty Powder in True Romantic MUA Boom Lipstick in OMG Make sure to even out your skin, ...

For the longest time, I've been getting a lot of requests for me to do a tutorial on how I do my brows.  Honestly, I didn't expect that people would like my eyebrows.  I personally think I look "mataray" with my brows, but I prefer it than my "normal" brows. ^_^ I remember having my brows plucked for the first time right before I entered college.  I think I got too excited after, that I can hardly keep my hands and my tweezers off my brows.  So yeah, I ended up with almost non-existent eyebrows for a while..more or less for my entire college years! (laughs) When I graduated, got a job and finally able to afford my "kaartehan" a little, my first makeup purchase was brow pencils.  I started "drawing" my brows and I've been doing it since then.  If you've been reading my blog since I've started, you'd know that my eyebrows didn't look the way they look now.   My brows have really evolved, take a look: ...

when i ran out of my MAC cleansing oil which i use to remove my eye makeup, i was wondering what to buy next. i love MAC but i want to hold myself back from buying expensive stuff for this year and look for alternatives that won't burn a hole in my wallet. then an angel might have heard me from above and made me see this during one of my visits at Watsons MOA last year: A unique formula enriched with Pro-Vitamin, L'oreal Gentle Lip and Eye Make-Up Remover, gently yet thoroughly removes all traces of make-up, even waterproof. Its refreshing and non-irritant formula is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. i've been seeing this for quite sometime actually, but didn't bother to pick one for myself. don't get me wrong, i am not brand conscious...its just that i prefer MAC to remove my makeup (most esp. MAC). now that i got one for myself, i must say desperate times call for wiser moves..hahaha! hygienic and spill-proof now, i put this to a test: weari...
