okay, since i am wearing almost the same shades of eyeshadows lately, i decided to give it a little more "omph." so what's this "omph" i'm talking about? FALSIES! yep...i decided to wear falsies today. i am not really into falsies since my eyes tend to look sleepy whenever i wear them, most especially the full sized ones. good thing, i've found these "XLH" falsies from The Face Shop. I first saw them on Phoebe and it really looked natural. I then bought some, not for personal use, but for my clients. hehehhee..and when i saw how natural and fab their lashes became after the falsies, that's the time i decided to hoard them from the store. it's always OOS, good thing i got to purchase 3...and will buy more next time. The XLH lashes from The Face Shop kinda looks like the MAC HK lashes (IMHO). * thanks to Temptalia.com for the image (they look natural, no?) EYES: UDPP PAC Brow kit topped with MAC Girl Boy Shattered and Shakedown e/s...

for days now, i've been feeling a bit gloomy...and when i woke up this morning, i was definitely feeling depressed and restless. i thought of coming up with a bit of colors for today's look: EYES: PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy UDPP MAC e/s in Pearlescent, (damn, i forgot the violet shade) and Carbon CG gel liner in Black MAC plush lash mascara FACE: Smashbox Photofinish primer Earthen Glow foundation in Theoda Cinemasecrets concealer Oceanmist concealer in Saffron MAC True Romantic MAC What a Dame highlighter MAC Shape and Sculpt MUFE HD loose powder LIPS: MAC Creme Cup MAC Hot Frost I definitely had colors on my eyes (well, at least im not wearing neutrals) but i still looked gloomy, aight!? an officemate of mine even commented of how sad i look (and even asked me if i'm sick or what) though i smiled at her when we bumped with each other. idk, but this is one of those days when i just feel heavy (and not just because i am overweight!) and i can'...

okay, another shot with my "lucky" eyeshadow color for this year. this time, i played with my MAC MES in Fresh Green Mix which i haven't used for a loooong time. EYES: PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy UDPP MAC paintpot in Soft Ochre MAC MES in Fresh Green Mix CS gel liner in Black MAC mascara Revlon eyeliner my face still looks flushed from using Obagi. I try to put just a little blush but i still end up looking like a clown. oh well, gotta sacrifice to get back that "glow" i had when i was still loyal to Obagi. FACE: Smashbox Photofinish light primer Monave Caroline Lauress Radiant Ivory MAC Sculpt and Shape Oceanmist Saffron Concealer Elianto blush in Mauve LIPS: Artdeco lipstick topped with 4U2 gloss

for days now, i haven't been applying too much eye makeup. i've been settling on putting on just eyeliner on my eyes and few coats of mascara (plus of course the whole shebangs of foundie-blush-concealer, etc). but not the full eye makeup that i used to do. have i lost my mojo again? nahhh...i'm just really lazy these past few days and i am running out of ideas on what color combos to use. tee-hee!

... yep, i definitely do. anyways, here's my eotn wearing the gorgeous colors of NYX Ultra Pearl loose eyeshadows...(i really prefer loose than those pressed ones) EYES: Modelco Brow kit in Dark topped with MAC Girl Boy UDPP MAC paintpot in Painterly NYX Ultra Pearl loose e/s in Ocean Blue on the lids and lower lash lines, Silver on the crease (applied wet using Mac Fix Shiseido Lash Base MAC Loud Lash Mascara MUFE Aqua eyes in black on the waterlines FACE : Monistat as primer Lauress foundation in Radiant Ivory CinemaSecrets concealer for the undereyes and sides of the nose Oceanmist Saffron Concealer on the undereyes MAC Sculpt and Shape TFS blush in Pastel pink LIPS: CARGO lipgloss

as much as i love pressed eyeshadows, my heart still longs for loose pigments! i've started wearing eyeshadows when i got introduced to loose mineral eyeshadows. and i can say that until now, i would prefer using them than my pressed ones. i would love to own MAC pigments, but the price has been stopping me to get them. i have their set of antiquitease pigments but that's about it. i have lots of mineral e/s but of course, i'd love to try out other brands. good thing, there's a good alternative...NYX chrome eyeshadows! :) they are like mineral pigments where you would need to have a sticky base so they won't fall off. also, it's recommended to apply them in a patting motion instead of swiping. honestly, i had a hard time applying and blending because the glitters keep on falling off. and i swear i am patting them on! LOL anyway, here's my attempt: i know...i know...i sucked! can you give me another chance to make things right? :) and me, working hard... hell...

so i was absent yesterday because of the irritation on my undereyes....after resting for a day, i'm back to applying eye makeup. (grins) this time, i opted to go for a not-so-loud eye makeup...just so it wont be too obvious that i am wearing makeup despite the irritation hhehehe.... used: Modelco Brow kit in Dark, UDPP, Meow Ideal Eyes in Kept Kitty on the entire lid and on the lower lash lines, Meow Modern Eyes in Tomcat applied on the contour of the eye up to just above the crease, Meow Modern Eyes in Dr. ZhiCATo applied under the browbones, Fasio 3D Mascara in Brown and Shu Uemura pro concealer topped with OM Saffron concealer on the undereyes used: Smashbox Photofinish Light primer, Dreamworld foundation in Freyja then topped with Dreamworld toppings in Butter Creme, Cargo Blush in Molokai and Revlon Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon topped with Mac Gellee in Dewy Jube. I know i didn't blend well the colors on my eyes...they're not even! and i think this is one...
