Mugshot

Can't let a week go by without posting another mugshot of myself haha. Was trying my Kirkland Mineral Powder on myself. I use it as a highlighter because its yellowish. And blech it looks patchy and uneven on photos. I used it under my eyes. Theres goes another 100 points for mineral powder. I know many are happy with it, just doesnt work for me. But anyway here are the mugs hehe

Patchy and uneven coverage. blechhh

Mac Twig is <3

Mugshot

As if no typhoon would stop us, Caby and I got ready to head out to to the Metro Weddings event yesterday thinking it wouldn't be so bad. We decided to stop by a friend's house to avoid traffic and started heading home by around 10pm. Which was when the winds started to get strong. By the time we got to my house, the winds were really really strong. It was so hard to walk because the wind was blowing me away! hahah

Anyway because of the rain we got stuck in traffic for quite a bit, I got a bit bored and took some photos instead haha. So here are mugshots of myself for the week. Was actually tweaking with camera flash settings hehe.

My Magic (siopao) hair! haha As you know I have very short hair
and it looks really akward when I tie it so I wanted to cover it up with something.

in about 5 minutes!

Closer look at my eyes =)









What I used:
- Stila kitten, MAC charcoal Brown, Cranberry, Embark and Coppering
- Stila Smudge pot and in2it gel liner pencil
- Random ardell lashes and MAC Fibre rich mascara

Hope everyones okay. Keep safe and take care! =)

Lippie of the week

Hello! =) Just a quick post. Wanted to share a lipstick shade that ive been using for the past few days. M.A.C. Twig! Twig is a very versatile shade and kind of neutral so ive been finding myself reaching out for it more often than usual. Especially when im in a hurry and dont want to bother thinking of what lipstick to use.


Twig is a Satin lipstick from the permanent line. And is described as a soft muted brownish pink shade. I love satin lipsticks the most because its long wearing and not drying. Here's a swatch of Twig borrowed from the M.A.C. Website

$14.00

PhP 950
*Last time I checked, also available for Back to M.A.C.

And moi wearing Twig =)

Mugshot of the week! lol

Mugshot

I dont know about any of you, but I really hate having my photos taken. Especially those ID photos for important documents such as passports,visas and school requirements. Looking back at all the photos I've gotten over the years make me cringe. The worst photo has got to be my US Visa which was taken about 10 years ago. I wouldnt dare post it, but the officers at the ariport usually ask me if it's really me on the photo haha

So now that im renewing my visa I figured I should make an effort to try and get a more decent one. Imagine, if they actually give me another 10 year visa, id be stuck with another horrible photo for another decade! *cringe*

But alas, everytime I need a decent photo for something as monumental as this, my hair just cracks from the pressure and decides to be iffy. Anyway just posting my mugshot, cropped because my hair just makes it look awful!

Thank goodness for makeup! My skin looks so much better
than it actually is haha. If it were up to me, id have
them just zoom it in like this to hide my ewwie akward length hair

I really love RCMA's finish. Gives a somewhat soft-focus and matte finish. Few blemishes here and there but hey, I still think the skin looks pretty fantastic (especially from the before photo whch of course I will not post =p )

What I used:
VOV #3 RCMA Shinto 2 and 3 - Foundation
RCMA Invisible Setting Powder
MAC Studio Fix NC42
MAC Lingering and Girl Boy Browset
Stila Smudgepot and In2it Gel Liner
MAC Vanilla, Femme-Fi, Haux and Charcoal Brown Eyeshadow
Lancome High Def Mascara

Pop!

Neutral tones with a pop of blue on the lower lash line. Getting tired of pink eye shadow, now on the hunt for the next color to obsess with haha.

my hair is so ughh. why cant it grow faster? :/

What I used:

Face:
RCMA shinto 2, 3 and vov #3 for foundation
RCMA Invisible Setting Powder
MAC Studio Fix NC 42
MAC Light sweep and Shadester for highlight and contouring

Did this makeup for when I attended the Dr. Jarts BB Cream event at Ayala Museum, didnt get there in early enough to catch the whole spiel though so you can just head on over to Caby's blog for that haha just sharing a few photos I took atd the show =)

FOTD: Still fascinated with Pink!

The title says it all, im still in love with pink! Quite a hangover from the spring collections. This time I did my eyes with just a subtle hint of pink. Looks more like a semi smokey with just one shade of pink for the eyes (crease color).

I again apologize for the messy hair, it looks like ive been out jogging
or something haha. It's way too hot nowadays here in the Philippines, unbearable heat!!

I think adding color to your usual eye look is a great way to brighten things up. Use a bright colored eyeshadow on your crease or as an eyeliner. That way, Neutrals wont seem as boring (I know I get tired of using neutral colors all the time hehe)


What I used:
RCMA +VOV Foundation
RCMA Invisible Setting Powder
MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach
MAC Sculpt and Shape in Lightsweep and Shadester
Fanny Serrano Eyebrow Powder
MAC Brow set in Girl Boy
MAC eyeshadows in nylon (lids), Perky (crease) , charcoal brown (hollows), embark (outer crease) and femme fi (highlight)
In2it gel eyeliner
Lancome Hypnose Mascara


Wrote this post about 2 days ago, had to say true to what I promised that id post more after being MIA for so long hehe. Have a great day!

Valentines FOTD

This is how I spent Valentines day....

HOW TO: Hide a swollen face (LOL)

As I've mentioned my left face is swollen because of my tooth. I wouldve hidden under a rock the whole weekend but my friend had a pre valentines gig and she and her boyfriend and a friend were going to be singing at an event for the first time. So I went there for support and to help her with her makeup =)


How fast can you do makeup? Im still having trouble with time haha. I think I need a good 30 minutes to an hour to do a decent job. Im obsessed with blending. I was given 15 minutes to do my friends makeup. I only got to do the foundation, eyebrows, eyeshadow, blush and lipstick. Nowhere near done :/

Pretty Iyz =)

Oh well, I still need a lot of practice. Iyz! I shall practice on you again soon haha thanks for trusting me doing your makeup that night haha. Hope you all had a great weekend! Happy Monday Everyone

Wedding #1

Can you believe that apart from last weeks wedding, the last one I attended was over 15 years ago? haha I think I was 7. I was sick and looked like a zombie and to make things worse, I lost a tooth at the reception hahaha.

So it isnt much of a surprise that I dont know anything about weddings. I dont know what youre supposed to wear, what youre not supposed to wear. blah. Weddings are a mystery to me haha. I decided to just go with whatever I had, since I rarely do need formal clothes so I didnt want to get a dress.

camwhoring in front of the door haha. Wanted to see
what I looked like in natural light :)




And again :)

Boring Monday

Ive been cutting down on expenses (hah!) so I decided to stay at home today. Caby came over and we basically spent two to three hours just lounging on the bed. But we have something exciting coming up hehehe =)

Was thinking of what to post, then I got bored so I decided to put makeup on (For years, this is what I normally do whenever I get bored). Was going to join a contest, but my hands automatically grabbed my go to colors (so much for the contest). When im in a hurry I go for neutral eyes with mostly just brown and gold. I know ya'll havent seen me look normal haha what with tiger makeup, Shiva makeup and all those Halloween makeup. So to switch things up here is my go to look..

What I used:

Face:
Cinema Secrets Color Corrector kit #2
RCMA Shinto 2 and 3
RCMA Invisible Setting Powder
Rimmel Blush in Peach
MAC Sculpt and Shape in Lightsweep and Shadester
UDPP and MAC Charcoal Brown for eyebrows

Eyes:
Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
MAC Vex, Haux, Embark, Charcoal Brown, Carbon and Gorgeous Gold
Rimmel Glam eyes mascara
Fanny Serrano Eyelash Curler (I swear this curler is awesome! :D )


Can I just add, my skin is looking so so much brighter and better. Cinema Secrets Concealer + RCMA fdtn + RCMA setting powder = really good skin on photograph. But its so much better now that my skin looks and feels much clearer. And besides, we all know that good skin makes makeup so much better! I didnt really have acne problems but I do breakout once in a while and my forehead always had little bumps. Ive been on Tretinoin for 2 months and the persistent little bumps on my forehead are gone, my skin looks clearer, its smoother

After about a month, my hair still looks odd to me hehe. I love it though =)

This is what it looks like if I let it dry on its own

And just as I was about to remove everything my friend texts. Wee! Im going out. Hope all of you had a great Monday! :)

Rawr
