Rawr 2

I havent been blogging for a while again. With all that has been happening to the Philippines, I couldnt write a decent post. While many are still devastated by Typhoon Ondoy/ Ketsana. Another typhoon is making its way in the Philippines. Its a category 5 super typhoon, but I think that it has weakened. I really hope this one doesnt cause as much damage as the last one. :/

On to the post, I go really nuts during October. Mainly because I get too excited about Halloween. A year ago I was a pirate, the year before that I was Beyonce in that Austin Power Movie. I remember always going out with a costume every Halloween. My mom used to make us amazing costumes when we were kids =)

Every year, I usually decide on what to wear a few days before Halloween. I panic the last week of September (haha) but dont really decide until a few days before Halloween. This year, I still have no clue. But Phil, wants to be a Leopard!! How awesome is he? I was thinking of going as a Leopard but changed my mind. But I did want to do the makeup on anyone whos willing haha so yay! Thanks for being willing to be my Makeup Project haha. I got the Idea from Petrilude - he has the most amazing video on how to do the makeup. I really love Petrilude, such an amazing artist! Here is his video: Petrilude Leopard Tutorial

So were planning on trying the makeup soon. But it hasnt been possible with the weather and floods. Last night I got bored and was lurking around the Blogosphere, I came across Sara's (The Makeup Snob) Post and she linked some of the Previous M.A.C. Halloween Face Charts (here is the LINK) I have three favorites, which I will attempt to copy in the next following weeks =) Last night I did Carbon Kitty. I was in a bit of a rush though, cause it was raining and I was afraid that the lights might go out and being the paranoid me, I started imagining:

"what if we needed to be rescued. Theyd find me looking like a tiger"
"then again, I dont think people are going to ignore me if i cry out for help"
"what if ,in the dark, people actually thought I was a tiger who had escaped from the zoo and start attacking me?"

Haha anyway, So yeah it was a bit rushed. I didnt do the contouring and the highlight first and went straight in and covered my eyebrows, did the eyes, painted some parts of the face and the very detailed "eye lining" on the face. I think this wouldve been better if I did the highlight and contouring similarly as Petrilude Leopard's Makeup. Anyway, here are the pictures:

Here is the Face Chart for inspiration.

Covered Eyebrows using Elmers Glue, RCMA in KO 3, RCMA Invisible Setting Powder.
FACE: RCMA KO 3 and Shinto 3 (Foundation) M.A.C. Chrome Yellow, Limit, Amber Lights, Sculpt and Shape in Lightsweep and Shadester



Highlighted Using M.A.C. Lightsweep - which ended up looking odd since I did it after I applied the orange parts. Eyes: M.A.C. Chrome Yellow, Amber Lights, Limit and Carbon. Nose: haha Kajal eyeliner by wet and wild, applied carbon to set it.




Imitating a cat haha. Applied the eyeliner details on my face. This was a bit tough since I used the brush from the liquid eyeliner which was too long and flimsy but I was in a rush haha and couldnt find the SanSan eyeliner pen.




Starting to look more like a cat haha. Eyeliner pen recommended! Mouth area looks weird because of the highlight.




Playing with my hair - I look like a boy!!




Okay this reminds me of one of my cats hehe. Used a matte nude lipstick from Ever Bilena (It doesnt have a name - odd)







Edit: I forgot to add this pic hehe I like this one

Difficulty: 2 out 5.
This is fairly easy. You just need to be patient blending the yellow and orange parts. Dont forget to highlight and Contour before you do the whole face! LOL and be patient with the eyeliner details. And DO NOT RUSH! hehe


So, have any of you thought of what to go as on Halloween? I still have no clue!!

Ketsana

On Sept. 26, the Philippine capital Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature's worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy, international code name Ketsana, poured more than a month's worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the bustling metropolis, drowning at least a hundred people as of press time. My prayers to the victims, and may we emerge victorious and live by the lessons of this tragedy. Donate via Paypal now at http://is.gd/3IOAT.

Typhoon Ondoy

Im sure some of you have seen the pictures of what the typhoon "Ondoy" has done to the Metro. A lot of people are stranded because of the floods. Its scary, 1-2 days (correction: one months worth of rain in 6 hours!!) of rain and this is what happens. I hope all of you are safe! And I pray for those who arent as lucky to have shelter and food, people who are stranded, and the victims of this typhoon.

Makeup Night

Ive been MIA for quite a while - I have been lurking around the blogosphere but havent posted anything. Truth be told, im still getting used to the hair HAHA. I mean I do love it, its just that everytime I try and do an EOTD/FOTD and take pictures, it looks odd to me. It looks like a teenage boy with makeup on! hahah Ive also been on a sort of no-buying-month-week-whatever haha so no new stuff to rave or rant about.

Some Pictures from Characters Night at Caby's House last sunday. We played with Caby's makeup stash and put makeup on each other haha couldnt find a theme until it all came together lol. You can check out Cabys blog for some of the other pictures. Here are a few.

The Villains

Sheena ( I did her eyes and tried to copy the photo on the magazine. The makeup was beautiful!! I shall attempt to copy it again soon! haha)

RANT: I was about to post new pictures when I attempted to do a FOTD only to find out that my memory card has been corrupted with a virus! My brother wanted to copy some files a while ago and ughhh!!!!! now I have to format the memory card with all the pictures, songs and videos. Sighhh! darn it!


So yeah, this post has been cut short. ugh, im still annoyed. :/

About a boy...lol

Passed by the Cosmetic Fair this afternoon. Nothing too exciting going on, very little cosmetics in my opinion and too much skin whitening crap haha. I dont know why it was called Cosmetic Fair. There was a makeup competition too, todays theme was Fantasy saw 2 of the contestants didnt get to take much pictures though. Also met up with a (multiply) buyer there, Miss Jean! Thanks so much, you are adorable in person!! =) And one of the stall owners was intrigued she asked me to bring the other makeup stuff I sell haha. Please dont tell SM Security that I am secretly taking part in the fair LOL.

Also, I got a haircut today. HAHA. I told my favorite Hair stylist, Richard: I want my hair like this, this time! And he said, cartoons (talaga ah?) hahah

The cut is fantastic ofcourse, Richard is the only hair stylist that I go to. If he magically dissapears, or moves without telling me I will not cut my hair ever! haha I get very anxious when getting haircuts. And usually need a "cheerleader" for moral support. Anyways, yeah the cut is fantastic he did an awesome job but im on the fence whether it suits me, still trying to get used to it I guess. Last time I had very little hair was 99' and it wasnt pretty. after that haircut, I ran and bawled inside my room. This time though, everytime I caught a glimpse of myself I laughed and giggled which is odd haha.

I like how it looks from this angle

Egg like? haha

So what do you ladies think? Please be honest haha I love honest opinions =)
