What I think you'll love at this blushes:

I am really amazed how pigmented and velvetty this eyeshadow is. It's not like my regular eyeshadow



Will I buy this eyeshadow? Of Course, now I'm planning to buy NYX palettes because of this. :D

So what is more stressful than stress? For me it's pimples.

Last Tuesday (June 19, 2012) I received the eye shadows that I oredered in MakeupHolics. Ms. Melanie, the owner of the shop is very accommodating and very nice. She also suggested me to buy the disco palette since the first palette I ordered was out of stock.

Yehey! I am now officially 21 yrs old. Yesterday I celebrated my 21st Birthday at the Racks located in SM Mall of Asia. Nothing special just a day with me and my family.

I chose the Racks because my bf is always raving how delicious the foods there. Haiizzz (The convincing power of raving. :D). AnyHoo, I ordered a family platter Surf n' turf (2100 pesos), here's what's included in the platter. BTW, you will choose your pasta and the 3 big side dishes. :D

I have been obsessed in grooming my brows lately. I admire how celebrities look younger when they have this full yet soft looking brows.  I watched other you tube gurus achieve that look, I found out that they are using eyebrow powder although some can achieve the same look using eyebrow pencils. I went to the drugstore to find some then I stumbled upon the Fanny Serrano makeup counter, I asked the SA if they have eyebrow powders. She immediately handled me this.

How bout you? Do you have any eyebrows technique you want to share? Just comment it out in the comment box below. :D

It's water-resistant and smudge - proof. Water - resistant and Smudge - proof nga ba? let's check!

I swatched it at the back of my hand. It glide on so smoothly and so effortlessly. Really nice. !

rub it about five times and see what happens.

rub it even more and still no smudging

rub it with water. It is still there and still no smudging. galing di ba?

Overall:

For the face:

I Start of with my daily cleansing routine (Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize).
Apply face primer to make the bb cream last the whole day

Next is apply bb cream / tinted moisturizer. BB creams or tinted moisturizer are good for everyday use because it is not heavy like foundation.

After applying bb creams, apply concealer under the eyes. Then set all the face products using a translucent face powder.

Lastly, smile then put a rosy pink blush

For the eyes:  

I start off by applying eye-primer all over my lids and crease.
Applying primer will not only make your eyeshadow look more vibrant but also will tend to avoid creasing. ~~A must for those who have hooded eyes like me.

Second I apply a cream based eyeshadow all over the lids and up above the crease area.
I used the tap and press technique in applying the cream eyeshadow using my ring finger.
I smudge a little bit the eyeshadow in the crease area to make a fading effect.

Lastly, I apply a blue powder eyeshadow to set my cream eyeshadow on.

For the lips:

I apply tons of lip balm to moisturize my lips then I wipe it off with a clean tissue to help exfoliate and remove any dead skin cells.

I apply a pink lipstick then top it off with a clear lip gloss. Then that's it.

What can you say about this look?

Thanks.
