Happy Monday! I hope everybody had a great weekend.  I did!  I had a fabulous stay-cation in a hotel with my family.  And as expected, all I did was eat, sleep and watch TV.  I also had a great time relaxing in a tub.   I felt super recharged...so I guess, I'm ready for the week ahead! ^_^ For those who are following me on Instagram and on Twitter (if you haven't followed me yet, please follow me..pleaaase?) you might have seen the pics of that something that started my interest with makeup --- mineral makeup!  It certainly brought back the memories of me going into different mineral makeup websites and ordering a few (NOT!) samples.  OMG, those were the days.  I even remember my so-called "pot-session" activities. I got so excited and so I decided to create a makeup look using mostly minerals: K-palette Long Lasting Eyebrow The Face Shop eyebrow liner Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist Revlon Coloready Primer+Hi...

I can't remember when was the last time I used mineral foundations. I had a bit of prep time earlier, so I decided to reach for my mineral foundations and do the the swirling and tapping and of course, buffing all over again.

i know most of you ladies don't like MAC MES (Mineralized eyeshadows), but i am one of those who seriously love them. I have 5-6 MES in my stash and i'm loving all of them. Not all of the MES are worth it, so i made sure i got those that i can really use. my most recent MES loot are those from the Colour Craft collection, i only got two...i wanted more but i have most of the colors in the palettes so i snatched those which i think i don't have yet. here's my fave of all my MES: MES in Fashion Patch colors i used for my EOTD and here's my look: PAC eyebrow kit MAC brow set in Beguile UDPP MAC MES in Fashion Patch, MAC Hoppin' for highlight Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara MAC Blacktrack fluidline TFS primer (green) Monave Caroline + Lauress Radiant Ivory MUFE HD Finishing Powder MAC True Romantic Revlon Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon MAC lip gellee in Dewy Jube what i love with these MES is with such a small compact, i'd be able to come up with sever...

here's another look using my favorite UD item from ate Gracie that can be worn in the office. It's a bit out of the usual neutral look, but is still subtle and doesn't look really dark and party-ish. i hope you like it... colors i used: Grifter, Perversion and Midnight Cowboy 1. After applying your eye primer, apply Grifter all over the lid using a flat shader brush 2. Using an angled e/s brush, apply Perversion on the outer-V and the crease. Blend it towards Grifter. 3. Using a fluffier shader brush, apply Midnight Cowboy under the brow bones to highlight. blend it towards your lid colors 4. Line your lash lines with a black liner, then your lower water lines and finally smudge your lower lash lines with the same colors you have used on your lids 5. Curl lashes and apply coats of mascara 6. Clean up your cheeks from any shadows that might fallen by sweeping it with a loose powder using a big fluffy powder brush and you're done!

i know i posted a tutorial on how to do neutral eye makeup months ago...and this is just another one. please bear with me now since i'd be doing another neutral look...give me some weeks more and i'll be back to wearing COLORFUL looks :) for today's looks, i've used the following colors: 1 - Phenomenal (AWG) 2 - Amazing (AWG) 3 - Semi-matte brown (Monave) 4 - Pearl (Pure Anada) on with the tutorial: 1. Start by priming the lids, i've used UDPP 2. Apply the first color (Phenomenal) on the entire lids 3. Apply the second color (Amazing) on the outer half of the lid 4. Apply the 3rd color (Semi-matte brown) on the outer-V for more definition blend, blend, blend 5. Apply highlighter on the browbones and tearducts using 4th color (Pearl), line the upper lash lines with fluidline in Dipdown, curl lashes and apply mascara (Plush Lash by MAC). I've also lined my waterlines with white eyeliner (PAC) Final Look: For the face, I've used Ultimate All da...

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...
