NOTW: Leopard and Pearls

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:33:00 +0000

It's Leopard and Pearls!

I was thinking of animal prints lately...
and leopard always comes to my mind first.

I have done zebras and others, but this one is my default.

How to:

I painted on a gold glittery polish, then added randoms wacky dots using a bronzy color. After that I picked up black polish using a toothpick and made "c" or cut-up parentheses shapes around the wacky dots. Top with clear polish and you're done.

My fingernails matches my toes too, but I feel weird posting it. LOL.

And here's what I used:

Hope you like it!

I won Fekkai Technician Color Care Starter Kit from CVS Hairdo Contest

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:59:00 +0000

CVS Beauty Club held a contest on their twitter last month and all you have to do is submit a photo of you and your Hair Do, adding the #CVSDo on your tweet. If your photo get picked, they will send a Fekkai Technician Color Care Starter Kit.

I submitted this photo below (for fun, haha) and I got picked!

I belive they selected a number of winners (I am not sure how many), and luckily I am one of them.

Products arrive safely with a letter from CVS and Fekkai.

Ready to try the goodies!

Have you tried this product?

XOXO,

Dead or Alive: Urban Decay Primer Potion

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:00:00 +0000

This is a sad story of my professional size Urban Deacy Primer Potion.

I wake up one day (well after not using this for a while since I am testing/using other primers) and this guy have dried up. I find it hard to squeeze the product out! The tubeway was clogged so bad that no dipping in hot water, microwing and declogging with metal pin would make the potion come out.

So I settled with depotting. Yes, it is sad. But it will be OKAY.

my sad yet still workable UDPP

I cut out from the bottom, scraped the hell out of him and transferred to a clear container.

The consisntecy is not a spreadable as it was, but still workable.

Will I repurchase? Yes of course. It's a staple.

XOXO,

Jyz

7th Annual Kandyland Party and Team Indulge

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Hi there!

This past weekend had been so crazy busy for me! I had the 7th Annual Kandyland Party to work on and IMATS-LA 2012 to attend! Whew!

The 7th Annual Kandyland Party was held at the famous La Belvedere Mansin a.k.a. Kandy Mansion.It's an $80M mansion in Bel-Air, and they turned it all pretty kandy pink for the party. This event is one of Karma Foundation's number of events they created. For more info click HERE.

I am a MUA for Team Indulge.

Team Indulge by Olga Loera is a group of celebrity make up artists and hairstylists that perform at high-end, fast-paced fashion shows, movie and commercial sets and fundraising events. We are the exclusive team for the Karma Foundation at Playboy mansion events, "Beauty Lounge" and VIP Room for Karma Models and Members.

The theme for the party is Kandy Barbie. So makeup and hair have to be Barbie-like, and so as our outfits for the night of the event. We all wear black during work, then awesome outfits later on.

Here are some pictures I can share here on my blog:

Body Painted Kandy Model Stephanie. Makeup by me Jyz Reyes-Padilla

I had a GREAT time.

I have posted pictures of models I and Team Indulge did Makeup and Hair on. I try to keep my blog as APPROPRIATE as possible, but my fan page album link is below:

**If you are not into Playboy pictures and semi-nudity (bodies are nude but body-painted), I'd rather not hit the link.... just saying...**

I hope you enjoy my short with lots of links post.

Gotta learn more! Assisting in Makeup for TV Commerical

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 06:20:00 +0000

Hello! :) I am blessed to be able to assist a fellow Makeup Artist Michelle Arcilla last Sunday morning for a TV commercial. She is a good friend of mine, and a good mentor too.

Me and Michelle

It was my first time to be able to assist in a tv/film set. I have worked in print, bridal, fashions shows and event but have never experienced tv/film work. The location is a cozy home in Brentwood. I learned a lot and I am hoping to learn more in the future.

Key MUA Michelle gave me chance to work on the actress ;)

One funnyshot

Nice weather outside too.

There was pompoms in the set.. hahaha.

After filming we got hungry and went straight to Seal Beach pier for some good food and drinks at The Hangout. Sunday is so much fun.

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I forgot to bring a camera so I just used my iphone. ;)

Newspaper Nails

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:00:00 +0000

This is my first attempt doing this awesome idea. I maybe late trying this, but still why not right?

I painted my uber-short nails Winter Frost from Revlon. It's a mini-bottle in medium-gray color. I wanted something lighter but do not have any that does not consists of glitters and sparkles, plus I was lazy to mix my own so I used this one.

I can say this is a half-fail. I tried different methods here: 1) dipped a piece of newspaper in alcohol then pat onto my nails, 2) dipped my nails in alcohol then pat on a piece of newspaper, 3) dipped a piece, dipped my nail then pat the paper on. I think the second method worked best. That explains why this art is so uneven, because I kept on testing.

I did not bother redoing them. I figure I will take them off in few days anyways. Maybe soon I will try again and perfect them, and maybe in a summery colored base.

XOXO,

jyz

FOTN: Neon Pub Crawl

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:59:00 +0000

Me and hubby attended a Pub Crawl style birthday party last friday in Seal Beach. That friday I have posted my neon nails before I did this look. It's just a simple colorful look, ( yes ma'am I define this simple, LOL ) nothing shockingly uv or neon.

I used Inglot, Mac and Sugarpill. I apologize for a grainy picture, we were stepping out already when I took these pictures. We had so much fun last night, cannot wait for another one. :)

NOTWeekend: Sinful Colors Neon Melon

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:38:00 +0000

Hi Bellas! I will be attending a Pub Crawl Birthday party with a Neon theme tonight. I have a love-hate relationship with neons. Some days I find it so cool, some days it makes me look off. I painted on this neon polish I picked up at Walgreens. I think this should just be called Nails of the Weekend.

This one is called Neon Melon from Sinful Colors. I dunno why it's called melon, for me it's more of a lemon and lime. There are other colors available too. It's pretty cheap, only $1.99 a bottle. It took me 5 thin coats to achieve this, it's kinda burning my patience but it's okay since it fast-drying.

I shared this photo below on Instagram and got lotsa love. I usually DO NOT wake uo this early but today I was already at work at 7am. This neon did wake me up like sunshine straight to my face!

Tata ladies! Just finished my friends hair and makeup for her neon pub crawl tonight, so I better take a quick nap then off to do my makeup too! Will post pictures, of course!

Lost and wanna be Found

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 02:23:00 +0000

Wow, I have been MIA for the whole month. I almost didn't write at all.

May has been crazy, so as the latter days of April. We celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary last April 21st, and my birthday last 16th of May. Meet-up with friends, reunions and all that. I worked and I partied. A lot of both.

Yes I am still doing makeup, hauling makeup,using makeup, but have not gotten the chance to take pictures nor blog about it. I was just active in Facebook and Instagram lately. I know, my bad. I'm sorry.

I would like to know if readers still read this blog. And what do readers want to see? I feel lost. I wanna hear from you.

I want to start out fresh in June. Yeah, that is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I'm on BellaSugar! (and more MUFE HD)

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:13:00 +0000

I saw me at BellaSugar/Popsugar iphone app yesterday and it made my day.

Last week, BellaSugar held their first Instagram Challenge where beauties like us (ehem,ehem..) can share our photos and tag them. Each day theme is different, but showcases trends for Spring -buns, eyeliner, nail art, braids, and bright lips.

My entry for Bright Lips last friday was selected at the Challenge Recap. I submitted my Nicki Minaj makeup look I did a few weeks ago (my Nicki inspired look blogpost).

I was so surprised I got picked, and also made new friends on twitter which are also challenge winners. :)

Also, I submitted these:

For Eyeliner Tuesday

For Nail Art Wednesday

I love doing challenges and collaborations,

keeps my creativity running.

And to perk my day up even more,

this was delivered at work yesterday:

Yay! More MUFE HD for my kit! I got shade 115, 128 and 178.

Got Instagram? Follow me: jyzreyespadilla

NOTW: Effie Trinket Nails

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:42:00 +0000

My Effie Trinket Nail Look

After watching Hunger Games last Friday night, I have been wanting to do either an Effie Trinket makeup look or nail art!

Guess I do not have much time but this should satisfy my Effie-Trinket-related-hunger for now. LOL. This is nail art she wore at The Reaping.

Effie's nail art at The Reaping

I did not buy anything new to make this, I just pulled out what I already have. Here are the products that I used:

RK in Snow White, Rimmel in Dazzle, RK in Rauro

I painted 2 thin coats of Ruby Kisses in Tauro, then used a makeup sponge to make a gold ombre effect with Rimmel 606 Dazzle. I topped it all off with Ruby Kisses Snow White.

It's all so glittery and shiny! It took me few times to get a good picture because all the glitter and shine keep on flashing back.

Gold Ombre look on top of Fuschia

I hope you like it! I am hoping to do an Effie makeup look soon. <3

Fun at The Makeup Show L.A.

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:00:00 +0000

I believe that a TRUE ARTIST can never learn enough. Education must be continuous.

I must keep on learning.

I was lucky to be able to attend The Makeup Show (previous post about it HERE) last Sunday. I had fun hanging out with my fellow Filipina MUA Michelle Arcilla, seeing famous people in the industry and to listen and learn their techniques (amazing!), meeting famous faces and making new friends. It was a wonderful experience.

Ready for pictures? Here we go :)

Happy Heart's Day + NOTW Vintage-y Roses

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:00:00 +0000

Happy Heart's Day to all!

This is one of my favorite occassions, not just because things get to be in red and pink, but because it's a good day to tell your loveone(s) that they are in you heart.

A quick NOTW here. I used OPI Pink Friday and Wnw Candy-licious & Through the Gravevine to make roses.

Here's a card I made for my hubby:

And one funny card too:

I cannot wait for his reaction. Haha. :)

So, whether you are having a date or not, it really doesn't matter.

What's important is you give love and you are being loved.

XOXO,

Jyz

OPI Nicki Minaj + Joico

noreply@blogger.com (jyz) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:00:00 +0000

The studio I have worked last Saturday (see my post HERE) is next to a Cosmoprof. During our spare time, hairstylist Leanne headed next door and did some mini-shopping. She got tools and stuff for her hair kit, and of course, I got stuff for myself. Haha.

Bubblegum Pink, Did It On 'Em, Fly

I have been wanting these 3 polishes from the OPI Nicki collection that was released early this year. I feel bad in purchasing them in full price online when I know I can have them at a discounted price using my pro discounts, but I am not in the mood to go to Naimies or any store of the same. Maybe in my fear of overspending? But since I was already there and these bottles are calling my name, I gave in.

bad lighting washed the colors out? ;( eeek.

I got them for only $4.00 plus the "i hate california" tax.

Joico Moisture Recovery

I also bought these Joico Mosture Renewal Shampooo and Conditioner as per her recommendation. Let me see how this will work out on me. :) A liter each of professional grade hair stuff for $7.50+tax each! Amazon sells them as a duo for $35.98 plus $7.49 shipping fee Geesh!

If we had more time, I could have killed my wallet!

*Oh, I also got some new WnW stuff from the drugstore :)

On A Trip, Candy-licious, Through The Grapevine

Now, I cannot decide which one to wear first.....
