 Hiyee, how's the week treating you so far?  It's midweek already and I can't wait til it's the weekend.  I'm excited since I'll be having a trial makeup with a former officemate and good friend this Saturday and on Sunday, I'll  be having my hair colored and treated. Whoa, about time!   For today, I wanna share with you the look I came up with last Friday.  It's kinda "dark" as most of my colleagues commented. But I don't blame them, it's been a while since I last wore a dark, smokey look to work.  Yes, to work...on a rather sunny Friday.  (But it did rain in the early evening, hahaa)   K-Palette Long Lasting Eyebrow The Face Shop automatic eyebrow liner Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Highlighter  INuovi eyeshadow in Galaxy, MAC eye shadows in Deep Truth and Contrast K-Palette eyeliner in Black Benefit They're Real Mascara The Face Shop falsies UD liner in Zero Yves Rocher Perfect Primer Estee Laude...

It's Monday once again! Weekend flies so fast, no?  In as much as we would want to lounge all day instead of getting our butts off to work, we grownups have responsibilities and not to mention, payables!  So yeah, get those asses moving and start the week right! I've been playing with colors a lot lately and this time, let's go back to an office-friendly look. But of course, your neutrals doesn't have to be boring.  Pair your earth-colored peepers with a dollpink lipstick for a polished, and yet fresh, feminine and sweet look.

And here's another makeup look!  Funny that I've been wearing colorful eye makeup more often nowadays.  Maybe my makeup mojo's back?  Hahaa, let's see until when I'll be able to do this. ^_^ K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow in 01 The Face Shop Brow Pencil in 04 MAC brow set in Girl Boy Clinique Lid Smoothie  MACe/s in Aquadisiac (lid), BeautyPro e/s black with gold shimmers from the Sweet & Smokey palette (outer-V), Inglot e/s shimmery white (inner corner and brow bone) K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner in Black Maybelline False Lashes mascara Milani Liquif'eye eyeliner in Black Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover MUFE Mat Velvet liquid foundation Palgantong Theatrical loose powder MAC blush in Harmony (contour) Bobbi Brown blush in Peony Sleek True Color l/s in Bare All Majolica Majorca Honey Pump Gloss Neo in 22  By the way, Palgantong Theatrical loose powder is the BOMB!  I love how it keeps my ma...

and yet, another look from Urban Decay's Book of Shadows, but this time from the first one that i got...Vol I from Ate Gracie (that i miss so dearly!).. .

last year was my sister's JS prom (she's a junior then) and i had to let her look for somebody to do her makeup since i have a gig with Adidas that day. i thought all's well...but when i got home the following weekend and saw her pics, i told myself "I will NEVER let anybody do her makeup (on special events like this) ever again!" i felt so guilty, that i was busy making other people beautiful that day instead of making sure that my sister would look fab and beautiful on her promenade. so this year, when i was told that she'll be having her JS prom on a weekday, i decided to take a leave and make her beautiful myself. my sister wants to have her eyes emphasized and the rest of her face simple. she even told me to make her look like a fairy sans anything avant-garde and what's her term, again...ah, ethereal. yeah, my sis is one helluva demanding client! oh yeah, she'd kill me for posting her "BEFORE" pic and my sis after: EYES: UDPP PAC br...

i've been meaning to revisit my love for mineral eyeshadows...it sparked my love for eyemakeup anyways, but lack of time in the morning stops me each time i'd try. so this weekend, when i had to meet mom for breakfast and get my loots from her...i had more time to reach out for my long-forgotten mmu e/s and play. but of course, i still have to be early for breakfast. mom would kill me if i'd be late.

Thank God It's Friday! Anybody excited for the weekend? I definitely am. I'd be meeting mom tomorrow to get the stuff she got for me, and of course, would be sleeping and eating to my hearts content day-in and day-out. LOL! anyways, i'm still trying to fulfill my promise of coming up with Happy Friday looks like i've used to. so here's for this week: PAC Brow Kit TFSI primer + MAC PP in Soft Ochre MAC e/s in Nocturnelle, Sunset B, Electra, Carbon, Blue Enchantment and Shroom Shiseido MM Lash Expander UD 24/7 in Zero TFS Green Primer MAC SS in NW20 Shu Uemura Pro Concealer Maybelline Loose Mineral Foundation in Buff MAC blush in Dainty MUFE HD Loose Finishing Powder NYX lip gloss in Smokey Look I am so excited...i can't wait to meet mom and get that much awaited rest to make up for weekday late nights! So how about you, what are your plans for this weekend?

yey, my first Happy Friday look for 2010! it's been a long time since my last colorful eotd. i've been wearing a lot of neutrals lately due to lack of time preparing in the morning, and i kinda lost my makeup mojo for the past weeks because i am breaking out so bad. then days ago, i tried browsing thru my old looks and i missed my colorful looks in the past. i wonder, am i really the one who did that? LOL. my "skills" have been rusty for i haven't been practicing...sigh. i hope i'd be able to brush up my blending skills in no time. i've heard that BLUE is the lucky color for this year, so for my first EOTD and Happy Friday look, here's my look combined with a bit of purple: PAC Brow kit MUFE Brow Corrector in 01 UDPP MAC e/s in Nocturnelle (inner half), Freshwater (outer half), Carbon (outer crease) and Shroom (highlight) Shiseido MM Lash Expander UD 24/7 liner TFS Green Face primer MAC Studio Sculpt concealer in NW20 MAC SF NC25 MAC SF Powder in ...

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...

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...
