FOTD mood :)

To liven up my mood, I decided to play around with make up for no reason. It has been a while since I did this so yes it did make me happy. :) I decided to play around with purples for this FOTD but ended up adding some blues and black. Here it is. :)

I found out that taking a picture in front of my lighted train case is god send since the light that comes from the train case is amazing. The pictures I took did not need any flash whatsoever. So I can say I now know where to take vanity pics of myself hehe. :)

A closer look at the eye make up:

For the eyes instead of using a black liner for the lower waterline, to open up my eyes more I used white liner instead. :)

What I Used:

Face:
RCMA CP Foundation
Ben Nye Banana Poudre
Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation for setting and contour
Nichido Peachy Glow Blush

Eyes:
Estee Lauder Palette Eye Shadow for the Purple and Blue
MAC Love Lace
MAC Carbon
MAC Liquid Liner
Prestige total intensity liner for upper waterline
White Eye Liner
Ardell Brow Gel
Fanny Serrano Brow Powder
MAC Browset Girlboy
Max Factor False Lash Effect

Since I had so much fun taking vain pictures of myself in front of my lighted train case, here's one for the road. hehe



Toodles! :)

3 Essential Lipstick Colors + an unexpected treat! :)

Early this week, I got myself 3 more NYX lipsticks from Chara. Even though I have tons of lipsticks and most of them are NYX, I couldn't resist since the colors that I got are what I consider essentials, the ones most used and can never run out of. These essential lip colors everyone needs in their kits are red, bright pink and a nude-ish color. That's why I was glad and ecstatic to see Chara had these colors available, and without hesitation I decided to get them. The colors I got from her was Louisiana, Electra and Echo.

Louisiana is a a really nice, vibrant bright pink color, think of Barbie's lip color. :) Electra is a true red color, so vampy and is said to be MAC Russian Red's dupe. While Echo is a nude lipstick perfect for those smokey looks to use alone or over other lipsticks to tame down color.

I will never run out of occassions, makeup gigs and events in which I can use these colors for. They are perfect in completing and or complementing your various make up looks. I can't wait to give it a test run and use it for my clients and on gigs soon! These lipstick colors will be scene stealers! :)

On another topic, I'd like to share with you girls a picture of Fabio Ide an up and coming model and actor here in the Philippines. It was such a pleasure to work with him again. Photo was taken by the wonderful RB Chanco from our shoot yesterday, If you look closely you can see me and Maui in the background haha. Now I will do some shameless plugging hehe because Fabio is irresistable, don't forget to watch his move D'Sruvivors together with other Brazilian/Japanese hotties Akihiro Sato and Daniel Matsunaga. This movie is screaming Brazilian meat!! Go watch it. :)

Enjoy Girls!!

Toodles! :)

The week of crazy hauling!

Last week I swore I wouldn't buy new make up. But surprise surprise. The very next day I bought a lot of items and the rest of the week is history, items including:

5 NYX Lipsticks
2 ELF Blushes
2 Charcoal Goodies from Saizen
2 YSL Lippsticks
2 Shiseido Foundations
1 Suesh Flat Top Brush


Crazy. I am Crazy.

I try to justify my spending, I really do. Like this week has also been crazy running errands for The Poveda Fair this Sunday, Business with friends, My shoot tomorrow and My personal business. Purchasing Make up on the side is my breather! *wink*

I guess it doesn't help the spending when you have a mother who is as excited as I am to become a Make up artist. But because of that I have to be serious with this craft. And speaking of craft. I really have to go to bed, I have a shoot tomorrow morning at Adphoto (photo studio here in Manila). This will be for a collaborative Portfolio (including mine!). It will be an exciting day! :)


Will upload pictures of this weeks haul when I have spare time tomorrow during the shoot but till then adieu! :)



Toodles! :)
