Mim, Myself & I...

 Hello again! ♥♥♥

 Just posting random hair stuff.... 

Liese!!! 

 Trese hairties in Purple!!! ♥♥♥

I love!!! ♥♥♥

 Hello! ♥

 I've just recently bought contact lenses online and I've mistakenly transferred too much money. It would have been okay if it was just 30 pesos or 20 pesos... But no.. I was speechless when the seller told me that I overpaid 765 pesos! -_-;; I'm really waaaay too distracted. 

 But Beverly from Icah's Online Shop was kind enough to tell me that I've overpaid... She actually offered to send it back with my package but I was kinda scared that it'll get lost in the mail. So i just opted to go ahead and add one more product to my online purchase. I love how I got some free samples to try including foundation, BB cream and 2 kinds of makeup base. ♥

I got the Liole Water Drop BB Cream.  I actually haven't used this yet... So for today's face I'll be using the 3D Skin Fix Makeup Base and the 3D Skin Fix Foundation. ★

Its actually my first time using or buying makeup from Lioele.. I've only tried Ampoule that I used for a little while to fade my nasty acne marks. 

 Bare face.. >,< somehow it reminds me of a character on a super popular movie.... Lord of the Rings.. Mehn.. I look like Gollum... >,<

So I didn't use BB cream today... first time in a long time I'll try putting on a makeup base and a foundation instead of my usual array of BB cream + mineral powder... 

I think the shade is Natural Beige.. Something like that... I threw it away already and forgot to take a shot of the back label >,<

It looks like liquid foundation doesn't it? But when you apply it.. Its much thinner and less pigmented... and more silicone-feeling... O_O I don't like it.. 

My face with the 3D Skin Fix Makeup Base...

Next is the  Foundation... 

I actually love this foundation... I love it as much as I hate the Makeup Base. Haha. 

This shade is shade 21 pure ivory.. I really didn't think it would match my skin colour since Korean foundations are usually insanely too white for a Filipina like me... But this shade blended pretty well on my skin!

It doesn't feel heavy at all on the face and it also doesn't look like i put heaps and heaps of layers of makeup on my face. I love it! It's actually being sold at Icah's Online Shop at around Php847 for 30ml... I'm still thinking if I need it since I really like how it feels on my skin. ★

So on top of that I put my usual Love Minerals by Human Nature Pressed foundation.. It's coming out very soon. I just saw the initial pressed samples yesterday.. It's looking pretty good especially with the gold compact. ★★★

I really think Gollum possessed me today >,<;; 

Moving on to the highlight.. Especially with me.. It's always the EYES★

Here's my bare eye...

I will only put minimal product.. that's: 

Muhahahahaha~ it's all about making your life easier!

So this is Missha Dual Eye Tip. One side is powder and the other side is liner of the exact same shade.. (is that cheating?)

So I just put the pearl powder shadow all over my eye in a very not so calculated way...

Then I sorta just rub away any rigid lines with my finger so it'll look blended...

Looks like this...

Nothing special there.. 

Next is the eyeliner...

Today's weapon of choice is Etude House code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner... ★★★

I just put a line on the top lashline...

 And then get whatever's left over on the brush and lightly apply it on the outer half of the lower lash line...

After that.. I get the other side of the dual liner... this one is the pearl liner and I line my entire lower lash line with it...

I line including the waterline with the pearl liner... 

To make it even pearlier... I put the pearly powder on top of the liner... ★★★

After that... Curl the lashes! 

After that add mascara.. I didn't take pics of the mascara step anymore..

So here I'll be showing you how I do my eyebrows.. In a semi-systematic way.

I use this light brown palette by Lavshuca that's almost unusable.. Hehe

I really like the colours of this palette and I use it everyday. ★★★

First I use the light brown shadow in the middle... 

Then I fill in my brows from the fullest part...

 going towards the middle.

Then I get the darker brown and start filling in the outermost part of my brow going towards the tail.. (weird explanation right here)

 You can clean up the tail a bit with a Q-tip...

So next is the brow mascara...as usual I use Lunasol Brow Styling Mascara..

 Just like with the brow powder I apply it from the inner towards the outer...

 It looks waaaaaay blonde here.. But not in natural light!

 Any excess you can even it out by using this brow brush thing...

Next.. CHEEKS! 

I used my Luci Darling Cheek Palette that I truly love.. 

 I apply it on the fleshiest part of the cheeks..

Then the LIPS!★★★

I'm using this limited edition one from Paul & Joe.. I don't even know which collection... Sorry 

 Cute cat!

 I love these small details that asian cosmetic companies put in their products..

This is the lippy on my lips. It's like a natural looking pink...

Then I did my hair... I got a couple of new things in my growing Liese collection... The blue bottle in the middle and the white short bottle 2nd from the right. ★

There's really just something about Japanese hair products that is always a cut above the rest... I must find out about it soon!!!! ★★★

Lalalala... 

finished face and hair~ 

Blurry >,<

 No flash

 With flash

 Phone pics with natural light

I love my phone... It blurs out my blemishes.. Like a built-in photoshop. Muhahahahhaha! The benefits of not having high megapixels! 

Off to Pampanga tomorrow with Pam, Juno and Moise because Karl's a flake. Tsk. Muhahaha~!

Goodnight!

First 20 people to confirm their attendance to the workshop will get a gift.

Haha. As if I can make it! Interesting collection though ^^

Hello again! ♥

As I've mentioned in the previous entry, I shall be posting another howto ^^

Its going to be really simple with several items that I got this week.♥

So as usual I start with this...my blemished face. I'm going through weird periods in my skin... because of stress, lack of sleep and hormones... :/

And so as usual I'd put on BB Cream. I'm using Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB Cream. 

I only use this much...

And then it looks like..this after BB cream and mineral foundation by dun-dun-dun-dun... Human Nature!! ^^

So onto cuter things...♥♥♥

I got the Sweet Eye Cupcake from Etude the shade name is soooo cute.. Menu 1: Banana Choco Chip♥




Here's the swatch on my fingers with just one swipe... Not MAJOR pigment there but enough... ^^

Here's a swatch on my hand with flash

Without flash

The manufacturing date is very favorable for me... HAHA (can you say geek?)

The manufacturing date is July 20, 2010 A little over 2 months... ♥

here's my naked eyelid...
I need to clean my brows .... LAZY

So I just get the lighter shade and as usual put it all over my lid...
I just used my finger tips to do it.. Easier that way.

And then I get a brush to put on the darker colour on my lashline... going towards the crease..


Pretty shimmers ^^

I'm using this Coastal scents brush... It's double ended so I flipped it over to put the lighter shade on my lower lashline...

And then eyeliner!!♥

I'm using this Coffret D'Or Full Keep Gel Liner that comes with a fabulous classy brush...  ♥


(picture taken from the Adam Beauty site)

Unlike in the picture I'm actually using the purple shade...


Although you can't see very well, it's like a greyish purple...

I bought this on a whim when I was feeling down a few weeks ago.  But I've just now learned to actually love this product. Takes awhile to get used to its consistency since it's a lot harder than the Etude House Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner.. But this gives a softer eyeline because it's greyish purple...

It also keeps true to its word when it says it's a Full Keep Gel Liner since it literally lasts the whole day without smudging and removes easily when you wash your face. I love it!♥♥♥


I just applied it on the upper lash line for today...

Next is mascara... (i sorta tidied my brows up a bit!)


I used The Magnum Volum' Express for the upper lashes and...


(photo take from the Face Shop site)

This lower lash mascara is quite a mouthful... Face & it All about Mascara 06 Mini Power.. Hehe.
It's really intended just for the lower lashes.. 

Initally..the first ever brand that I saw this from was Fiberwig.. And I was like.. Yeah whatever it's just a marketing ploy to get you to buy another product. But lo and behold! The small, angled brush actually works wonders! ♥

Here it is... I'm showing the small brush...So I apply it on my lower lashes...for a more wide-eyed look.♥♥

But I'm not perfect and accidents do happen... So when they do... Q-tips to the rescue!♥

Clean as a whistle! ♥

Here's my finished eye with my brows made already... ♥

Next is the blush... I use the Human Nature final shade...I made last Thursday. ♥

It's quite blurry not only because my camera isn't so great.. But also so that you'll be excited to see it in its actual form and packaging when it gets launched this October!!! Can't wait!! ♥

And then... LIPS!

I'm using Etude House Dear Darling Glossy Lips in this very racy-sounding shade.. Sexy Dream. Haha

(picture  taken from the Etude site) 

It's pretty... Very natural, believable pink/brown/old rose Hehe I can't describe the shade.

That's pretty much it! 

Those are my random poses for this very easy, natural look! 

I've packed everything in a pencil case for touch ups. Hahaha

I hope this helped you in some way ^^
