FOTD: Shhmokey Blues...

Who says you can't wear makeup at home?  And who dare says you can't sport dark smokey eyes while cooking dinner?? Says who!? Come forth and I'll slit your throat! I'm kidding, of course! ^_^ Here's a look I came up with just because I got so bored looking Au Naturel (totally no makeup on) on most days.  And yeah, I whipped up this look just before I start preparing dinner.

Make your skin happy with Happy Skin!

Image
Another reason why I envy those of you who are now in the Philippines, except for being with your family and friends, is because Happy Skin is now available there! By now, I am sure you've heard or read, or even tried the amazing products from Happy Skin.  Happy Skin is the newest brand of cosmetics that doesn't only enhance your natural beauty but also takes care of your skin with its special skincare ingredients, such as Japanese tea leaf, cherry blossom, hyaluronic acid and Argan Oil, to name a few.  Women nowadays are so much concerned with their skin and scared that using makeup may just harm or aggravate their skin condition.  Happy Skin takes care of your skin, your ally in making your skin happy and therefore looking healthier and more beautiful. The complete range is small, having only a few shades for their powder and liquid foundation, tinted moisturizer (called the SS or second skin cream), blushes, lipsticks and under eye concealer.   ...

I'm sure by now you are getting fed up of my Halloween makeup looks, so I think this one's gonna be my last (maybe, LOL).. I've been wanting to do a Skull Makeup look for the longest time now but like what I've mentioned on my post yesterday, I kind of miss doing a full-faced makeup. So I thought, why not have both!? ^_^ FACE: Lancome Face Primer Vichy Dermblend Corrective Foundation in Opal Benefit Boi-ing in Medium Revlon Age Defying Powder with DNA Advantage in Medium Sleek Contour Kit in Medium MAC blush in Tippy EYES: K-Palette Long Lasting Eyebrow L'oreal Eyebrow Pencil MAC Brow Set in Girl Boy Urban Decay Naked 2 palette eyeshadows in Booty Call (lid, inner corner), Tease and Busted on the crease, lower lash line and outer corner Maybelline Gel eyeliner False eyelashes Rimmel Kohl eyeliner (waterline) LIPS: OCC Lip Tar in NSFW Snazzaroo face paint in Black and White K-Palette Lon...

Product Review: Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains for the Face...

Image
Cleanse. Tone. Moisturize.  Hmm, I feel like something's missing.   Exfoliate! ^_^ Exfoliation is the process of sloughing off dead skin to stimulate skin turnover and give way to youthful  looking, smoother and softer skin.  For somebody who is acne-prone like me, this is something that I make sure I do at least 3x a week.  Well, that was before when I used to wear makeup everyday.  Now that I'm just at home most of the time, I exfoliate 2x a week.   I've tried a lot of brands in the past, and my favorite was that from St. Ives.  Yes, "was" because right now my favorite is this buffing grains from Bobbbi Brown: Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains for Face A true skincare innovation. These luxurious grains can be mixed with any Bobbi Brown cleanser or water to create a fully customized, gentle exfoliator for the face. Comes in a glass bottle with pour top for easy use.   I got this as a birthday gift from our friends...

Playing with Makeup: Vampire...

That's my Sexy Siren look up there. But I bought a pair of fangs the other day and I don't want it to go to waste so, I did a few tweaks to my makeup... black/purple eyeshadows on the under eyes + darker contour + darker lips and of course, here comes a few silly selfie shots like these: Let's add the blood: Puyat -looking vampire! ^_^ And the fangs: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

FOTD: Sexy Siren...

Image
It's been a while since I last posted an FOTD here.  I stay at home most of the time and even if I go out,   I don't really wear much eye makeup except for my usual winged liner.  So when I reached out for my eyeshadow brushes yesterday (for my Chelsea Grin look) I kinda thought I might have already forgot some things about blending.  But yeah, some things cannot be easily forgotten.  Though it surely helps to do some practice every now and then. Having said that, here's a look I came up with yesterday.  With Halloween just around the corner, I bet you are already thinking of what makeup look to wear for the parties you'd be attending. I know most of us don't really go for the scary/ghostly looks, so here's something you might want to try...I call this the Sexy Siren look. FACE: Benefit Stay Flawless 15-hr Primer Clinique Even Better Liquid Foundation in Ivory Naturactor Face Cover in 140   Benefit Boi-ing in Medium Rim...

Playing with Makeup: Chelsea Grin Halloween Makeup Look...

Image
Hi, my Loves!  How's the week treating you so far?  As for me, not much of a difference.  I'm still unemployed and getting bored! (laughs) Anyways, are you attending a Halloween/costume party this week?  Here's something I came up with that you might want to try.  There's a lot of tutorials available online that you can check out, that's where I also got ideas but I still want to show you (through photos only though!) how I did mine. Glascow Smile / Chelsea Grin Halloween Look Chelsea Grin is a kind of torture where the victim's face is cut from the edges of the mouth up to the ears.  Then the scars will be forming an extension of what seems to look like a smile.  If you've seen Joker's face from the movie The Dark Knight, that's one example! What you need: Makeup If you don't plan to be wearing makeup (like what I did), you can just skip the eyeshadows, lashes, etc.  Clear Liquid Latex + Tissue ...
