...is still the best (but wallet-draining) way to de-stress! again, after weeks of not going to the mall, i went last friday to get some stuffs for a wedding where i'd be doing makeup. I need to get more falsies, so to Landmark i went. swatch of Revlon Colorstay pencil liner in Black Brown I know i was just to get falsies only but i wanted to try out the Revlon pencil eyeliner in Black (i have the liquid already and it works great) but there's no Black. I can't wait to try the pencil liner so i went for Black Brown (tsk...truly, patience is a virtue). I also went to MAC but again, didn't buy anything. yey! I just dropped by to ask for their 15 eyeshadow palette and the brow gel for my mom but they are still out of stock. I've been wanting to get lighted/illuminated mirror, but heck, it's worth almost 5k! yaiks... So i continued to walk around the mall then saw Terranova...and you guys know how much i love the brand :) yep, i got 3 of that longsleeves (in gray...

Tutorial: How to use the Modelco Brow Stencils

Image
Dear CG, I've tried my very best to grant your request on how to use the Modelco stencils. I don't use them myself, but because i love you (and all of my readers), i've finally tried it. It's kinda hard at first and it took me a lot longer to line my brows but i really like the shape (and the arch) that i was able to come up with using the stencil so i might be using it more often from now on. I wanna say sorry for the crappy tutorial. i did my best, honey...but i guess my best wasnt good enough. sniff. LOL I was talking a lot (as usual) in the video that i had to trim it a few times. hehehe...so sorry if the video ended abruptly. i do hope you'd get to like it though (even for a bit? puhleeez!?) Yours truly, and oh, almost forgot...here's the video (LOL)

Bad Hair Days?

Image
All of a sudden, your hair has gone from glossy to greasy. And if you've colored it, it may feel as dry as a straw. No matter how many gels, mousses, creams or conditioners you buy, no matter how much time you spend in the bathroom with your blow dryer, your hair still doesn't look like you want it to look. And you'd end up tying it up in a pony or sometimes, covering it up with a bandanna or worse, just leave it as it is. Here are some tips for some of our bad hair day problems: Baby Fine blues To give your baby-fine hair more body, reverse the natural order: condition first and then shampoo. Oily Roots Mix equal amounts of water and alcohol-free toner in a spray bottle, shake it to blend and spritz on your roots. Then blow dry. Oily Hair Tea tree oil (or rosemary) shampoo will help absorb excess oil. Or, mix a tiny drop of tea tree oil - a great natural astringent into a palmful of your usual shampoo, then wash. Greasy Roots Massage a half-teaspoon of baby powder or co...
