For years that I've been putting on makeup, I found that wearing golds on the lids is a great way to bring attention to our peepers without being too dramatic. It brightens the eyes, giving that awake look and depending on the intensity, this shade looks good at daytime  and even at night time. For this look, I downplayed the Gold by topping it a bit of peach and instead of using black to define my crease, I used browns and a bit of copper.  I planned for a light, shimmery eyes, and to make sure that I won't look so plain, I opted for a metallic-violet liner to make my eyes pop more.

if there's another makeup item that I honestly can't live without, it would be eyeliner. i used to think that eyeliner would make my eyes a lot more sharp-looking. and with the frequency of me wearing a liner nowadays, it means i was proven wrong...wearing an eyeliner gives definition to the eyes, and gives the illusion of luscious lashes, as long as you have applied it correctly. since then, i rarely wear eye makeup without an eyeliner...and i went non-stop in collecting different types of eyeliners: pencil, liquid and gel. i ran out of my favorite gel liner, and i just don't have enough patience (not to mention, time) to pay that counter a visit to get another pot. so i went to the nearest mall, and tried to look for an alternative. and yeah, i didn't go home empty-handed...

i initially thought of coming up with a review on this palette, but it turned out that i already posted one months ago. stupid me forgot about it! so let me just show you a look i came up with using my new palette...the first one i got was more of a colorful palette and my second one would be a palette of neutrals. (what!? not again...) colors used: (yeah, just another boring neutral looks!) so now, i have two of their palettes: i still do wish they come up with a matte palette. i have way too many shimmery eyeshadows and it would be nice to have more mattes. again, i do recommend getting these palettes for they are affordable and they work as great as those high-end ones. they are a good collection to start up with if you are on a budget and need a palette of colors to come up with a lot of looks.

I still love the coverage it gives...and the staying power. I apply it with a stippling brush and it does give the (almost) airbrushed look. I try to keep myself from using it too often though...because i would like to be on MMU foundations for everyday use. you know what? i am super duper ACIDIC. I am using NC25 and still goes a bit dark on me after a few hours. UGH.

priced at Php999 (orig. price is 2k, got it at 50% off), i can say that this palette is a good value for your money. what i love: reasonably priced. P999 for 8 gorgeous shades great color payoff lasts the whole day doesn't crease...i've used it without a primer and it stayed put! easy to blend sleek packaging. it comes with a black palette case with mirror available locally and they have a wide range of items, all reasonably priced! what i hate: well, not really hate. i just wish they come up with mattes will i purchase again: yep, will get the other palette :) and probably some more e/s duos. now for the EOTD: EYES: PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy 4U2 e/s (yellow-1st pan, gold and brown- last row) Covergirl mascara MAC fluidline in Dipdown Revlon eyeliner FACE: Smashbox photofinish light Monave Caroline topped with Lauress Radiant Ivory MAC blush in Dainty MAC Sculpt and Shape LIPS: Ellana lip gloss for another set of EOTDs using this palette, click here .

after lunch break i decided to go straight to the mall to buy some stuff i'll be needing for a wedding gig tomorrow (and extend my break, tee-hee). i bought wet wipes, tissues and personal stuffs. of course, shopping won't be complete without getting some makeup: 4U2 makeup: Eyeshadows and lipglosses Loreal Touche Magique (just because i was too lazy to go to Body Shop to get their Illuminizing Concealer) 01 and 17 (i honestly think they are purrrtyyyy) eyeshadow duo #15. this 4U2 cosmetics is cheap, but a bit expensive than the other local brands available. i got an 8-e/s palette last year from them and i'm loving it too. i just wish they have matte eyeshadows (coz i am still trying to stop myself from buying the BB brights eye palette..sniff)
