IAMBRIGITTE

oh my, oh my...just when i'm always running late for work, i am again getting hooked on playing with my mmu e/s which i've abandoned for quite some time! here's me using my pressed MAD minerals: and here's using Aromaleigh minerals: i know mmu e/s takes more time to work with. i always apply mine wet, using a few spritz of MAC Fix+ and then topping it off with dry pigment so i can blend it with other colors. but i love, love the fusion of colors that i get from them. sometimes, i can get away with just one shade...but people would ask me if i used 2-3x shades for my eye makeup. so i guess, it's all worth it. but of course, don't be like me...make sure you get to work on time. hahaha! geesh, my face is still messed up. when will this ever end?

sorry for the lack of updates...(again!) i haven't been blogging lately since i am always running out of time when i get home. not to mention i am breaking out so bad that i just got too lazy to take pics and post them here. i really hate my skin condition nowadays, the lack of sleep is finally taking its toll on me. i think i am going back to taking up Diane35 (birth control pills) to help me with my acne problem...and yeah, i am also going back to the only skin regimen that (REALLY) works on me...OBAGI. anyways, here are just a few of previous looks i made. excuse me for the pimples and rough skin...argh! brown-black smokey eyes using NYX eyeshadow pencil and MAC carbon, espresso gold-brown eyes using MAC eyeshadows revisiting my love for mineral eyeshadows (aromaleigh): still from Aromaleigh: life's been busy these past weeks...and busier the following weeks because of parties i need to attend for the holidays. i can say i have my social life back! heheheh. i...

i told yah, i am starting to love neutrals...hahahaha Aromaleigh Satin Laces and MAC Espresso when you haven't gotten enough sleep, going for a natural look with makeup helps you look fresh because when you wear dark eye makeup it just highlight those tired eyes, no? and yeah, i was actually running late thus no time to wear more colors...tee-hee!

(pathetic title, no?) I'm back with another tutorial...and this time, it has a bit of colors as compared with my last tut. I tell you, i don't want to scare off my new officemates with my uber-colorful looks. i prefer to shock them bit by bit. hehehe 1. Apply eye primer on the entire lid 2. Apply AWG e/s in Compassion on the lid 3. Apply Aromaleigh e/s in Strawberry Despair on the outer lid 4. Blend 5. Apply Hoppin' (from MAC Heatherette Trio 1) as highlight and blend. 6. Apply MAC Stylin' (from Lucky Tom HK palette) on the lower lashlines, line upper lash lines with Stila smudgepot then curl lashes and apply coats of Mascara. Final look: hope you like it, dearies. muaaah!

after feeling gloomy for a couple of days, i am now feeling green...LOL. Still playing with my mineral eyeshadows, i just felt like sporting a green EOTD again...green being my lucky e/s color for this year anyways :) EYES: PAC Brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy UDPP Aromaleigh Gothic Lolita in Verdant Wisp AWG e/s in Glorious MAC e/s in Creme Royal (HK Lucky Tom palette) MAC Penultimate Liner in Rapid Black MAC Plush lash mascara FACE: Smashbox Photofinish primer Illuminare Ultimate All Day Concealer/Foundation in Portofino Porcelain MAC HK Pretty Baby MUFE HD loose powder MAC Sculpt and Shape TFS Face Nuance illuminizer LIPS: MAC HK Cute-ster so what do you think ladies, of all my EOTDs/EOTNs...what suits me the best? Purple/pink, blue or green? :)

...and because of that, i vowed to myself that i'd be wearing GREENS more often! tee-hee... actually, i was just too lazy again to do my eyemakeup...so i decided to roadtest my Aromaleigh e/s again! now i am wishing they have pressed e/s...for i am starting to adore those that i got as gift from my good friend Phoebe. I know it isn't Friday yet...but who cares! I've been wearing a lot of neutrals lately, but it's summer and i want more colors! hmmm, maybe i can wear something really summer-y tomorrow?

i've been into neutrals lately...and i miss wearing colorful EOTDs like i used to when i was still on a night shift. lately, i tend to reach for my neutrals. but there would be days when i feel like a "rebel." but still, i can't bring myself to wearing really dark emu on broad daylight. lol! thankfully, we have mmu e/s we can wear anytime of the day. the colors are workable..you can start from going on light and just darken it if you like. here's another Aromaleigh Gothic Lolita eotd, using the mmu e/s in Wonderland: EYES PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy UDPP Aromaleigh e/s in Wonderland Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in Black on the upper lashlines and waterlines MAC Plush Lash mascara FACE TFS SPAN primer Monave Caroline topped with Lauress Radiant Ivory Cinemasecrets concealer L'oreal Illuminizing concealer wand MAC blush in Dainty MUFE HD loose powder LIPS Blistex Lip tone lipbalm MAC lipgelee in Dewy Jube don't you love mmu e/s? it...
