V-day is in a few days, have you made any plans yet? As to me and Mr. X, I don't think we're going out on the day itself, that is, if he's even planning to take me out on a date.  Let's see what ex-boyfie has in store for me.   I had extra time the other day to play with makeup, so I came up with something that isn't my usual neutrals.  This is something you can wear for your date on V-day, or on any day when you want to look pa-sweet.

Oh yes, I am still alive!  I know I've been MIA for weeks now and I'm not sure if you missed me, but I missed you! ^_^ By the way, let me first greet you a…. via So, what are your plans for today?  As for me, I am not sure.  I'm still nursing a bad case of colds and I'm not really in the mood to go out these days.  Me and Mr. X aren't so big with V-day, I actually can't remember a time when we celebrated it on the actual day! But let's see what he's up to for today.  Tee-hee.  By the way, it's payday weekend + V-day for you there back in PH, so if you're going out on a date later, be prepared to be caught in traffic!  But as long as you'd get caught in traffic with that special someone in your life, I don't think that would be a problem. Cheesy much!  Hahaha.  Anyways, should you not be able to celebrate it today, there are a lot of days to do so.  Besides, every day can be Valentines Day, right!?    Going ...

Out with the old, in with the new.  With Pantone , the global authority on colour, it simply means goodbye Emerald and hello to Radiant Orchid as the year's colour.   Radiant Orchid , a harmonious combination of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, is said to symbolize confidence, power, sexiness and vitality.    Aside from Emerald being my birthstone, another reason why I love the colour is that it looks so great on my eyes.  It complements my brown eyes perfectly.  But, purple (as I would simply want to describe Radiant Orchid), is the next best thing to match those brown eyes.   Checkout a few of the makeup looks I've done in the past using purples.  I'm sure I have more but these are just a few of my favourites. 

A woman can never have too much makeup...at least, that's true in my case! (laughs)  So yes, I still get excited whenever I get new makeup, despite having tons of it already.   I don't even know if I can get to finish everything but I don't care.  It's nice to get new stuff, more so if it's a gift, right!?   ^_^ So for today I wanna show you this baby that I got as a gift from our friends from Makeup Factory and ARC PR (Thanks so much), the Makeup Factory Eye Color in #47: I have a lot of purples already, but the colors in this quad are just so beautiful that I'm willing to forget the rest of my purples...for now. ^_^ So let me tell you my thoughts about this quad that I believe is a part of their Fall and Winter Collection 2012: Packaging is quite nice.  My only issue is that eventually, it will get some scratches and won't look as nice and shiny.  I like that it comes with a mirror, but I wish it's bigger. It also comes ...

This isn't the first time you'd see me in these colors but this look is my favorite black+purple combo to date: Shiseido Eyebrow Pencil MAC Brow Set in Girl Boy MAC eyeshadows in Nocturnelle (lids, lower lash lines) and Black Tied (outer-V, lower lash lines) K-Palette Long Lasting Eyeliner in Black K-Palette Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black (lower waterlines) Majolica Majorca Ray Liner (tear ducts) Fairydrops mascara Snoe Beauty Flash On Lashes in S18 Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless Liquid Foundation Make Up Factory Compact Powder Sleek Face Contour Kit MAC Blush in Tippy Shu Uemura Unlimited Rouge lipstick I must say I am in love with this pair of falsies I got from Snoe Beauty.  They're synthetic, but they look and feel like the real thing!  They sell for less than Php200 and are reusable. Must.Buy.More. I hope you like it! ^_^ Please like me on Facebook ( IambrigittePage ) and follow me...

And the inevitable has arrived...it's Monday once again! ^_^ Now, don't start the week whining and complaining but instead, let's look at this another work week as an opportunity to work hard...so we can play even harder after! Besides, days go by so fast we won't even notice that the weekdays are again over.  So get up on your feet, stretch, smile and be ready to face the day with energy and lots of positivity. Now, on to the makeup look. I initially wanted a coral-ish look, but I've noticed that I've been taking my purples for granted. Besides, me thinks purples suit me.  (violent reactions, not welcome!)

Honestly,  I take it seriously when I get compliments.   Mashado ko dinidibdib!  (laughs) I get compliments whenever I wear pinks and violets on my makeup look.  So ayan, here's another look using those shades.   All MAC eyeshadows (I forgot what shades though..)

Just a quick post on two of the makeup looks I came up with last week: Now that I've been wearing a lot of colorful looks lately, I suddenly miss my neutrals.  Let's see what looks I'll come up with this week. It's Monday and it's a holiday, but not for us.  So for those who are on a holiday today, don't mind us who are still working today while you are enjoying yourselves.   No, I am not being bitter.  HMP! Just kidding! Take care everyone!

Uh-uh, so there goes my attempt of putting back my " Happy Friday " looks back to life. (laughs)  I knooooww, I've been wearing mostly neutrals lately.  I don't know, maybe I'm losing my love for colors?  Because of old age, perhaps!?   ^_^ I actually filmed a video tutorial for this look, but I can't seem to download it properly to have it edited.  My memory card's probably busted or my Movie Maker's messed up.  I don't know. Sniff. Do you know any other movie editor? Lemme know.   Anyways, here's the look: NYX HD eye base K-Palette long lasting eyebrow MAC brow set in Girl Boy MAC eyeshadows in Bitter, Poison Pen, Nocturnelle and Carbon K-Palette long lasting eyeliner in Black Benefit They're Real Mascara Benefit Eyebright Revlon Photoready Correcting Primer Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow liquid foundation Benefit Posietint Revlon Photoready powder Sleek Face Contour kit Ever Bilena l/s...

Okay, my title's so lame.  But despite that, I know you still love me.  Right!? Please say Yes. ^_^ Anyway, here's a look I wore last Monday.  I wanted to start the week with bright colors, but you know how much I love purples. Some of the purples I have are dark and good thing I have a purple on the Beauty Pro Sweet & Smokey palette. I love that unlike my other purples, it comes off bright, giving my eyes a pop.  The Face Shop Auto Brow Liner K-palette Long Lasting Eyebrow MAC brow set in Girl Boy Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadows from BeautyPro Sweet and Smokey palette K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner in Black Maybelline The Falsies mascara Guerlain Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold  MAC Matchmaster liquid foundation in 2.0 Shu Uemura Translucent loose powder MAC blush in Harmony Bobbi Brown blush in Peony Clinique Chubby Stick lipbalm in Whooping Watermelon MAC l/s in Please Me Funny how MAC Please...
