IAMBRIGITTE

like what Sophie posted weeks ago, mineral eyeshadows are still easier to blend as compared to using pressed eyeshadows. unlike its pressed counterparts, blending these loose pigment is a breeze. that i have discovered more than a year ago when i started using minerals. i was never a fan of eyeshadows back then, since i was really having a hard time blending. well, i never knew what blending is all about not until i started applying eye makeup! then i discovered the power of good brushes...and the rest is history. LOL anyways, last Friday, i got to play with colors again. i am guilty of not being able to use my mineral e/s for quite some time now. i really missed playing with them...maybe i would need to press some that i have. but then, that would mean i would need to buy empty palettes and more pigments? hahahha now, on to my looks... EYES: PAC Brow kit in Dark topped with MAC Girl Boy Too Faced Shadow Insurance Milan Minerals e/s in Passion Play on the inner 2/3 of the lid, Sweets...

(me laughing at my post title) well, i was trying to figure out the combo that i would be wearing for my friend's wedding. the motiff is green and copper so i figured that probably i should be wearing green...and since i'm not really into lipsticks (i prefer nudish pinks) i thought of wearing something strong...something dark...probably smokey. i am not sure if that would be okay to wear in a wedding though. anyways, here's what i came up with. (definitely not smokey) sighs i badly need some help... used: UDPP + MAC PP in Soft Ochre all over lid, Milan e/s in Milan's Mojito from the lash lines to just above the crease, Milan's e/s in Money Green on the outer-V, eye contour and as a liner on the lower lash lines, Meow IdealEyes in Kept Kitty applied below the brow bones to highlight, Everyday Minerals e/s in Smokey as eye liner on the upper lash lines, L'oreal Lash Architect mascara in black and Modelco Brow kit in Dark (before buffing in my concealer hehehe)...

using Milan : using Taylormade (the brand that started my addiction in eye makeup!): sorry girls, i forgot what shades i used in Milan...but for TM, i used Twilight (inner lids) and Bishop (outer lids). (sigh) i am just too lazy these past few days... acck! what's wrong with me :(

another reason why i went home this weekend is: my mineral makeup loot! from Dreamworld: foundation samples (though i already found my shade with them): creme toppings samples (i am now waiting for my full-sized pot of Butter Creme): samples of eyeshadows and blushes from different worlds: from LUMIERE: two 4g pots of my current HG mmu foundation: Light Medium Neutral in Cashmere formula. And a few samples from their other foundation formulas eyeshadows and blushes samples: from MILAN MINERALS: pigment samples: more pigments samples: and some more pigment samples! and i also got myself their Gelle Drops: HUGE!? na-ahhh... hehehe...how cute! and finally from COASTALSCENTS: weeee....i love their brushes! i also got myself their new product, an eyeliner in Brown (in my case, i'm going to use it as an eyebrow liner so i won't need to bring my Modelco brow kit anymore) i was inspecting the brushes when one of them made me go "oh!" and so i rushed to my room to get ano...
