Happy Sunday beautifuls!

Mavic and I did another photoshoot, we shoot last night and I think we're gonna shoot again later. No, I'm not her only "model" if you're wondering. =) Btw, I wanna thank all the gorgeous ladies who commented on my recent post. ♥

These are shots from my camera, these are not what Mavic took. I just wanna show y'all my makeup. I did my own makeup and hair, it's really dramatic with the cat's eye, lashes at the bottom lashline, contoured face and the red lips going on. I kinda liked it, but ofcourse I can't wear this look outside. ;p Only for photoshoots. Hope you like it.

Me with the smiley face, I don't smile often on camera I know.

I love how I contoured my face here.

I applied individual lashes on my bottom lashline.

I'm inlove with the lips..

My fan! :) He was there and smiling the whole time, my nephew Carl. Thanks for the support baby!

A busy day again for me babes. Thank you so much for dropping on my blog, please let me know what you think about the look. Talk to you all later. Enjoy your Sunday! ~xoxo

Are my pictures too bright? Or are they okay? What can you advice? :) I keep changing my camera settings, sorry!

ALIVE & KICKING

2010-05-13T13:31:00.004+08:00

Hi! ♥

How's everyone doing? I hope you are all doing great! I missed blogging! I've been occupied these past couple of weeks. I had no internet for a week I think, I was with my family during that time anyway. I help Mavic with her "photoshoot". And we voted!! Now I feel like getting sick, I need to rest!

For an update, I wanna share you some makeup looks that I did these past days. The first 2 looks are from Mavic's "photoshoot", my camera shots.

Let me know if you have any questions about the looks.

I love curling my short hair.

I think my face is getting chubby!!! I hate it! :(

I love that big herrr!! :D I teased the hair to death!

Sometimes I love my nude lips, sometimes I don't! Harhar..

I was just experimenting with this look, I used my CS palette, with the nude lips again, NYX "Circe" lippie.

Please tell me if you're having a problem opening my blog, some bloggers can't open my blog maybe because of my new layout. Hmmm... Thinking of changing it again, such a pain! (edited layout)

Thank you!!

I am not like this when summer but this summer is different, can't wait for this season to past. Gosh.. What's happening here in the Philippines?

Thank you!

Review: Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque

2010-04-25T13:10:00.003+08:00

I'm a fan of masks! They made a huge different on my face since I added them on my skin care routine, they made my face glow! I love mask! There are alot of different masks out there but this one is new (well.. for me). Who loves chocolates? *raising my hands* :D One of my guilty pleasures are chocolates, but hey, who doesn't like chocolates?! Well, let me tell you that chocolates are not just for those who has sweet tooth out there, it's also for those who wants beautiful skin! Chocolate for the face? That's new, right? Sounds yummy and interesting at the same time. I didn't know that chocolate can be a mask too. I got excited when I received this, I really wanted to try different kinds of masks so I could find the mask that will work for me best. Thanks Charissa for letting me try this and sorry it took me awhile to review it. ♥♥♥

I know that this has been reviewed many times by my fellow Pinay beauty bloggers but everyone has their own experience and opinion. Now.. this is my take. :)

It says:

Nourish your skin with a feast of rich and creamy delights.

Treat yourself to a mud masque with a difference! Rich in natural ingredients this deep cleansing chocolate mud masque will help to unblock pores, allowing impurities to be drawn out. Coupled with the skin healing properties of Dead Sea Salt, and the moisturising benefits of Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter, you will be left with renewed, re-hydrated and younger looking skin.

Ingredients:

My experience:

Very smooth to apply and blends on my face so well! Didn't had the hard time applying it unlike other masks I've tried. It has the chocolate scent ofcourse! Smells yummy but distracting at the same time. :( I applied a thin layer on my face and there is much left that can be use again. I think you can use the pack twice, just make sure you'll seal it properly. The packaging is kinda hussle though. I let it dry on my face for an hour then rinse it with water, I again didn't had a hard time removing it. I have a smooth and brighter face after, I saw the difference on my face after. It says it's a deep pore cleansing mask, yeah, I think it does cleanse my pores a bit.

Me with the mask on!

And me after. (YAY for my bare skin!) It really does brightens and smoothens my skin!

Pros:

chocolate scent
smooth and easy to apply
i can use the pack twice (even i applied thin layer)
you can carry when you're on the go
it did brightens and smoothens my face
easy to remove with water
it does cleanse my pores a BIT
cheap (P79.75)

Cons:

distracting scent
packaging could be improve
I think the pack can only be use twice
messy to remove
it says it's Deep Pore Cleansing but it only cleanse my face a bit

Php79.75

Available at leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

We have different types of skin, products that works for me may or may not work for you.

So tell me, what is your favorite facial mask? Have you tried this mask? Let me know. :)

FOTD: Maybelline Aspiring Ambers Quad

2010-04-23T14:17:00.001+08:00

It's been forever since I did an eye makeup tutorial, but yesterday I was in the mood to do one using my new Maybelline Quad in Aspiring Ambers. I'm into neutrals and wearable eyeshadows, and what I love about this quad is that it has all the colors I needed for my entire eye makeup. It has color for the lid, crease and browbone and it's very handy so I can carry it around with me and do an eye makeup whenever I want. :) The colors are very wearable and great for everyday look. The quality is very nice too plus the price! I love it! Now, as I was saying, I did a look using this quad for everyday look. You can also use this quad for a more dramatic look if you'd like, just deepen the crease color and you're good to go clubbing. Hope you like it.

The finish look. It's not as intense as it is in person, the camera didn't do justice. :(

Close up lookie..

Maybelline Quad Aspiring Ambers

How to:

Already applied my eyeshadow base (NYX jumbo pencil in MILK)

Using an eyeshadow brush, apply the (1) on the lid passing a little bit on the crease

With a blending brush, apply (2) on the crease, blend the two colors together

Also apply (2) on the lower lashline

With a small crease brush, apply (3) on the outer corner of the eye and blend (you can deepen this color if you want a more dramatic look)

Apply (4) on the browbone and inner corner of the eye. Also apply (3) on the outer lower lashline

Do your brows, line your upper lashline, apply some lashes if you like, mascara then line your waterline and we're done with the eye makeup. Very simple, eh?

Very wearable, diba?

Products used..

TFS Green Make Up Base

Revlon Colorstay Foundation (220 Natural Beige)

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder (Beige) dark for me :(

Maybelline Shimmer Powder (Rosy Twinkle)

NYX Jumbo Pencil (Milk)

Nichido Liquid Liner

L'oreal Original Voluminous Mascara

AVON Simply Pretty (Pampering Pink) Lipstick

NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss (Pink Sparkle)

I wanna show you a picture of me a couple of weeks ago. This was after we went swimming with my Family, remember? Tan or sunburn? Whatever, I kinda liked it. ;p

So yeah, hope you like it! ~Mwah..
Thank you for the visit!

Small Haul + Fav♥rite Makeup Guru YT

2010-04-14T22:11:00.007+08:00

♥ I miss you beautifuls! ♥

Again, sorry for being MIA. I'm still not on the blogging-mode. I dunno know, maybe the uber hot weather is making me lazy. I'm also loving my skin at the moment and I don't wanna put on makeup as much as possible that's why FOTD's are also zero. I'm so into skin care these days, not into makeup that much but I'm still inlove with it naman! :) That's why I have a small makeup haul that I wanna show you gals.

Btw, I'm so sorry if I haven't answered your comments/messages babes but you know I ♥ you, right? ~mwah...

Bought these online:

Maybelline "Aspiring Ambers" Quad~ This will be perfect for everyday look! It is also very handy and I can carry with me everytime.

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder "Beige"~ I'm in a hunt for a good setting powder (for liquid foundation, any recommendation?) I heard good things about this stuff so I wanna give it a try.

Cover Girl Lashblast Mascara "Very Black"~ My favorite mascara! I also have the waterproof one, it's really good and REALLY waterproof but it's SO HARD to remove! Waterproof, eh? :D

Look at those neutral colors, pretty, noh?

I went to Watsons the other day and here's what I got.

Himalaya Neem Face Pack~ This is why I have tighter pores on my face! They're big and noticeable before as in! ;p

Pond's Perfect Matte Oil Control Cleansing Foam~ I have the ant-bacterial scrub too and I love it, but my face seems get used to it when used for a long time, I got this so I can alternate them every week.

Opal One Minute Treatment Deep Repairing~ I saw Jing's review about this product and I wanted get myself one since then. I already used it and it's really nice! Makes my hair soft and I love the scent it gives to my hair, clean and fresh!
Nichido Two Way Cake Foundation "Matte Beige"~ I've been using this product for like 10 years now (seriously). I always comes back to this everytime a failed foundation was tested. Very nice coverage, good for everyday and if I'm in a hurry.

Here's what it's look like on the inside, I love the packaging too.The big (not that big) mirror is a plus for me too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanna share you babes my favorite makeup guru on YT at the moment, JLovesMac1. She is so GORGEOUS and I swear she always makes me laugh everytime I watch her videos. I love her personality! I'm kinda getting bored to my latest favorite guru (secret), she's getting pa-cute na, talks about her fancy stuffs everytime, lack of makeup tutorial lately most are haul videos and I think she's not that pretty anymore compared when she was starting making videos. Just my opinion.

Back to JLovesMac1 a.k.a. Jarmaine, you can watch her latest video at the moment here.

Look what I got from the mail this morning, yay another bag plus mascara! I bought them from ebay. I'm into purple stuffs these days, specially bright ones, they look pretty on my eyes.

It's a Victoria's Secret bag, I believe this comes with a set of VS perfumes etc.. Anyway, I just got the bag. :) Isn't it cute? I'm totally loving the color. It's a bit small for my taste though 'cause I'm a huge bag girl.

I also got a Maybelline mascara to try, I heard this is one of the best mascara. Hmm.. I'll find out. I got the brownish black.

Who loves freebie? ME! Some fake nails.

Haha.. It's pretty big but I still like it. I love the color and "prints" in it, I'm glad I saw this.

I wanna share some of our pictures last week. it's HOT in here, ofcourse it's summer! :DD So what to do? Burn those skin with the whole family ofcourse! :D We all had sunburn after, seriously! My face hurts for days, it's okay though, we had so much fun and we're planning to do this again.

2010-03-12T23:00:00.004+08:00

Gonna be away from home again so I thought to update my blog 'cause I know you're missing my post already. Haha.. *kidding* My last post was I think a couple of weeks ago, sorry for being MIA. There's alot going on in my life lately, lazy to blog. I'm also not into makeup these days, like Thia. I'm more on skincare and hairstuff, most of my makeup hasn't been touched lately. I'm still inlove with them but I wanna let my skin rest for now. =)) Moving on, I had a haircut this morning. Yay! And did I mention that I had haircut last week too? Yeah, I dunno what to do with my herrr! I had a straight haircut last week, didn't liked the cut so I decided to make them layered this morning. I'm liking the result so far, I'm just not use on shorter hair (for me this is short). For a change I'll try a shorter hair, my hair grows fast as I already told you before so no problemo for me! ;p

My Simple Ways On Fighting Acne

2010-02-28T00:53:00.000+08:00

Someone asked me on my formsping on how to remove acne. This takes time to answer so I thought I'm just gonna post something about it. Skincare routine is also the "most asked" question here on my blog so here is my answer for that. =) On my High School days, I didn't have sensitive/acne-prone skin but this last 3 years, I think, that's when my pimples started to come out although they were "manageable." They disappeared after 3-4 days so I was not affected of pimples (at all) then. I though they were just like that, I thought! My worst experience came out last year. I had ALOT of pimples on my both cheeks and forehead. At first I thought those was just like before, will go away in days. But months past and they were still there, getting bigger and adding! I was depressed, I even didn't even wanna go out. That's when I got conscious on my face. I want it to be CLEAN as much as possible, I also got into skincare which I am not then. After a month, my pimples got cleared! Fast, eh? YEY! Even my hubby and mama noticed that my face got cleared. Now I'm wanna share what I did. This is my own experience, it worked for me and I hope will work for you too. First thing, I'm still having some pimples on my face but managed to prevent them, not a problem anymore. Hope you find this helpful.

My Simple Ways..

* I make my face clean as much as possible, I don't put anything even baby powder or moisturizer. I don't work, I'm always at home so this is easy for me. I wash my face whenever I feel it's dirty, I have oily skin anyway so no drying skin for me. :) I let my skin breathe.

* I drink lots of water. I can drink 10 glasses of water everyday.

* Eat vegetables and fruits as much as possible, avoid fatty and junk foods. I can't seem to do this most of the time though.

* I maintain a normal bowel movement to remove those toxins and waste by-products.
* I sleep early and sleep up to 8 hours.
* I don't touch my face. I wash my hands first whenever I put anything on my face, moisturizer, foundation etc..
* I tie my hair and wear hair band at home so my hair won't not fall on my face.
* I change my beddings specially pillows regularly.
* I always use a clean towel to pat dry my face, I have lots of mini towels and I change my face towel everyday.
* I don't pop my pimples. BAD!
* I exfoliate after I wear makeup to remove all the "stuffs" on my skin. :)
* I always wash my makeup brushes/sponges after I used them. I want them to be clean every use.
* I shampoo/conditioner first before I wash my face on the shower so the hair product ingredients won't go on my face.
* I don't sleep with makeup on. NEVER!
* I tie my long hair up before going to bed so my hair won't not fall on my face while sleeping beauty.
* I don't touch my phone on my face. We don't realize that sometimes while on the phone talking, the phone touches our face, we all know phones are dirty, right?? I always clean my phone anyway to make sure.
* I put aspirin on my zit overnight, after 2 days, zit was gone.
* I use organic products as much as possible for my skin care, better than harsh chemicals.
* Choose a makeup products/skincare that will not break you out.

My Skin Care Routine

I wash my face with Himalaya Neem Foaming Face Wash
Eskinol DermaClear-C Facial Cleanser every night
Moisturize with Celeteque Moisturizer
Exfoliate every other day with St. Ives Apricot Scrub
Clay Mask twice a week with Himalaya Neem Face Pack

No fancy stuffs, just clear skin. :)

Hope this helps. Thanks for dropping by!

New A Bonne' Stuffs + Friday Food Trippin'

2010-02-27T11:36:00.002+08:00

How are you my fellow beauty addicts? :) Remember when I posted about A Bonne' Lotion that hubby got for me? I told yah I ordered some other stuffs from them 'cause so far I'm liking that lotion. I ordered 4 items but sadly the 3 are not available, I just got their Spa Milk Salt. Anyway, hubby got me some other items he thought I might like. Oh yes, he supports me with my love for beauty products, that's why I love him more. ;)

2010-02-20T21:44:00.002+08:00

My mini haul last week. We went to Mall of Asia (MOA) to buy MUFE Mat Velvet + Foundation, I saw one MUFE store there inside Watson the last time but their store was not there anymore. We were looking for the store for an hour till our feet hurts, still unlucky. :( I'm sure there's MUFE there, if you know where's the exact location please tell me. That's the only reason why I hate MOA! It's such a big place. Anyway, I didn't left the place empty handed, I did bought something for myself.

Wallet

Maybelline Clear Smooth Powder

Hair Clip

Gatsby Oil Absorber (Black Film)

Shades

VS Splash Cologne (Fresh&Clean) - I bought this one online. (Do not like the smell.) :((( I think I'm just gonna sell this.

I like how the shades fits me, just not so liking the frame design.

Hubby bought something for me, an A Bonne' Milk Power Lightening Lotion + Collagen. He has a friend (girl) that sells beauty products, hubby thought I might like this cause the seller said it's non-greasy. I don't like greasy lotion!!! And he knows that. I don't apply lotion on my body btw, I just hate the feeling. I know I have to though. I'm not familiar with this brand so I searched for reviews first. It's made in Thailand, not from China. I know most of you specially Filipinas are afraid of China's beauty products. Melanin issues etc.. I saw good reviews about it naman, nothing bad so far so I used it.

I am using this for a week now and so far I don't have any complaint! The label said it has collagen and I think it really has. The lotion glides on my skin like butter.(?) I don't know how to say it. :) The best part is, it's easily absorbed by the skin and it is not greasy! I put too much the first time I used this, after a while, the greasy and sticky feeling was no more. On the skin softness factor, it did soften my skin but not that super soft, it's okay. On the whitening factor, I don't see the whitening effect so far, it's okay though, I'm not after naman the whitening effect. So yeah, this is the only lotion that I'm liking so far. Hubby said he will supply me with this. ;p I came to A Bonne''s site, they have other products and I ordered some of them which are Spa Milk Salt, Milk Power Hair Serum Vitamin, Milk Power Hair Treatment Wax and Hair Spa Treatment. Ofcourse thru my hubby. =) Really excited! Btw, this is my personal experience, products that works for me doesn't mean it will work for you. Take note, I am using this for only a week now. Also, I was not paid to do this mini review. Naks, me ganon!? Feeler naman ako! Harhar...

Did I mention that it was only P180 for 500 ml??? :)

We went to watch movie yesterday, we've seen Wolfman. Nice story but a bit eowwwie for me. The usual, we had dinner at Shakey's, didn't take pictures of the foods, they were the same foods we ordered the last time. I did took a shot of this though, I liked it alot. Marble Brownie for dessert, yummy! Specially the big "cookie" at the bottom, I liked it more than the ice cream.

Rootbeer Float! Me favorito.

Random. =DD Mama and I with masks on! When they visited me last week. ;))) We wanna laugh when we saw the shot but we can't. Being pretty, you have to look ugly first. Hehe..

That's it for now. Thanks thanks for the visit always!!!

Drama Queen + Hair Care Routine

2010-02-16T08:27:00.015+08:00

How's everyone's V-day? Hope you had fun and so much LOVE! My V-day, we spent it at home, hubby gave me chocolates like he always do even it's not V-day and no flowers. Well, that's my choice, I don't have any space for another one in our room 'cause I keep all the flowers he gave me for the last hmmm... 5 years! Yeah! From my birthdays, anniversary, v-day etc... I think those are enough. :))

Dramatic makeup for a Drama Queen. I'm not a dramatic person but I do get dramatic when it comes to makeup. I want bold colors sometimes, bright lippie is my addiction at the moment. So, I was bored yesterday afternoon, my Parents went home and hubby went to work. Home alone. :( That's when I thought to try my guy cousin's birthday present for me. He gave me a palette which has eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks in it. He's a guy, funny he knows what I like. =) So here's the look I came up with, I used the eyeshadow, blush and lipstick in it. Hope you like it.

So what palette is that!? It's an inexpensive and very nice palette.. Ever Bilena. it has 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes and 4 lipstick. I don't know the exact price but for sure it's cheapy. I love the shade of the lipstick that I'm wearing, I'm pretty shocked 'cause it doesn't look pretty in the palette. Hehe.. The eyeshadows and blush are very nice too, I think I'm gonna like this palette alot!

1. Lid

2. Crease

3. Cheeks

4. Lips

1 - 2

3 - 4

5 - 6

1. Apply the (1) all over the lid

2. Apply (2) on the outer corner of the eye

3. And blend upward to the crease

4. Apply your highlight color to the browbone and (2) on the lower lashline

5. Fill-in your eyebrows and liner your upper lashline with liquid eyeliner

6. Mascara and false eyelashes, we are good to go!

The lepsss.. love it!

The rest of the products

CG Trublend Whipped Foundation

Maybelline Clear Smooth Powder

CG Lashblast Mascara

Nichido Liquid Liner

Fanny Seranno Eyeliner (Brows)

Careline Glamour Stick (Eye base)

Hair Routine

One of my dear friend here on blogspot Anastacia suggested to post my hair routine. She said I have shiny looking hair and I think I do have. Hehe.. First of all, my hair isn't perfect, sometimes it gets dry and worse if they're falling. :( My hair isn't that straight but not curly, my flat iron is my hair's BFF since I don't do rebond anymore. I used to have a rebonded hair before, 2 times every year but it's quit pricey so I thought to just use my flat iron, anyway I don't go out regularly. My hair grows fast also maybe because I drink milk every morning and I gently massage my scalp while on the shower, works for me! :)) I don't brush my hair at home, yess!! I dont brush my hair wet, NO! I just use big tooth comb for hair starts with the ends of my hair. If I feel like my hair is dry, I deep conditioned it.

Stuffs for my hair

Shine Moist Henna Wax (Black) - every 6 months, half of this bottle for my entire hair. It gives me a black shiny hair that last for months everytime.

VOV Heat Defense - to protect my hair, spraying this before straightening my hair

Vitress Cuticle Coat - after straightening to add shine

My flat iron - I love this! And it's inexpensive!

Big Tooth Comb

Btw, I use johnson&johnson's baby shampoo, it's mild and not harsh for my hair and scalp. Pantene Hair Fall Control Conditioner. I like to buy the ones in sachet so it's easier for me 'cause I only use half of it on my entire hair. My hair falls whenever I put too much conditioner. :((

What do you think of my shots? I changed my camera settings but I think the pictures came too bright??? Are they???

So yeah, I hope that helps you just a little. Hope you like it.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!

Easy Eye Makeup Look for VD

2010-02-10T11:45:00.004+08:00

It's been forever since I did a makeup tutorial specially an eye makeup. So this morning, I thought to do a look for the Valentine's Day for you guys. I paired red with pink and I think they look great together, whatcha think?? It's only an eye makeup, got lazy to put makeup on my face, sorry! But you can pair this makeup with a pink lipstick and blush, that would be perfect!

The final look. A super large picture of the eye, hope it's okay, is it? :) The red looks kinda pinkish, maybe I blend the pink with it too much.

How to? Keep scrolling down. ;p

Apply a base/primer to the lid and blend upward. I used my fingers to blend, btw.

Using an e/s brush, apply the red color all over the lid down to the inner part of the eye.

Apply the pink color to the edges of the red, blend them together using a blending brush.

Apply the highlight color to the browbone and apply a bit of red color on the lower lashline.

Line your eye

Apply falsies if you want.

Mascara then line the waterline with a black eyeliner and we're done!

Very simple yet pretty eye makeup look. Would be perfect for the Valentines Day.

CS Matte Palette (pink & red)

Careline E/S Powder "Vanlla Whte" (Browbone)

CG Lashblast Mascara

NYX Jumbo Pencil "Milk"

Nichido Liquid Liner

MAC 217 (Blending Brush)

ELF (Eyeshadow Brush)

Hope you like this short tutorial. Advance Happy Valentine's Day Sisters!

i'm pretty satisfied w/MAC SFF (but not the best), but i heard alot of great reviews about this product. Really hoping it to be my HG foundation. *cross fingers*

MAC 109 Brush and Beauty Blender

Ofcourse a nice tool to apply my foundation. Can't decide on these two.. which one is better on applying liquid foundation? Have you tried MAC 109 brush or a beauty blender?? Please help me decide!! PLEASE!

TFS Span Oil Control Pre-Makeup

i heard this s comparable to Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer, that's pricey for me so i'll try this cheaper alternative.

MAC Blot Powder

My face gets uber oily after an hour of applying my makeup. Wanna try this.. is this really good on keeping the face oil-free???

Maybelline Dream Matte & Clear Smooth Powders

For setting my foundation.
