Mim, Myself & I...

Hello! ♥♥

I was supposed to post a tutorial and a review but because I was rushing out the door this morning, I forgot my camera >,<;; 

Anyway... here's what's coming soon... 

(photo taken from the Etude House site)

I'm currently using up my Lunasol Brow Styling Mascara however, Etude House and Lunasol pricing are just worlds apart.  So if this product will reach the Philippine shores... I'll probably get this instead of repurchasing the Lunasol one. 

Which reminds me.. I still have an unopened tube of brow mascara that I got from Singapore. It's by Fasio... So I guess I don't mind if this product will come a bit delayed ^^ 

Another one is this...Etude House 황금 비율 윤곽 메이커... Hahaha translated it's Golden Ratio Contour Maker. ♥

(Picture taken from the Laneige site)

I just saw this from a site and saw the ingredients... This is the first BB Cream I've seen that doesn't contain parabens as a preservative... It's pretty cool. I've yet to see how good this really is.  I'm not sure about buying this though considering how expensive Laneige is here.  But I still find it interesting... At this point in my life... BB cream is just a necessity... So I hope more and more brands will come up with BB creams with less chemicals... Maybe Human♥Nature can come up with one next year? Hahaha!! ♥

In terms of skin care... I saw this from the Etude site awhile back and saw and bought the actual thing a few days ago...

I'm actually quite happy that a lot of mainstream brands are going towards lessening the chemicals in their products. 

Just like this Pure Joy Line

It claims to be ♥7 Free Formula♥

GMO-free 

synthetic fragrance free

 benzophenone free

paraben free 

mineral oil free

synthetic dye free

ethanol free 

Not bad to start with...! Way to go Etude! ♥♥♥

Next one ... Is the Mix Color Cheeks of Lavshuca. Which is the poor man's Kanebo.. Hahaha Just kidding.. It's the cheapest brand of Kanebo that I know of that sells outside Japan (but unfortunately not in this country)

Yay! Saturday blog post day!! ♥

But this entry is extra special because it's not my face you'll be seeing. 

It's my super beautiful sister-in-law, Ate Eena! ♥♥♥

I told her that I was going to be doing this tutorial on a super easy look because Cheska requested for it.. and then she volunteered to do it with the makeup that I gave her. ^^ 

So here it is!!! ^-^

Makeup Used:

The palette used.. it's by Sephora..

I made Ate Eena choose which palette she wanted... She wanted the neutral brown shades..

I started by moisturizing Ate Eena's face..

And then I put on...Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB Cream.. ♥

It's the one in the middle.. The purple one. It's super cheap and I got it from Watsons for PhP319.00 :D 

The quality is pretty good. Comparable to Skin79. It's more compatible with my skin than the Etude Mineral BB Cream.♥

Here's the BB cream on ate Eena's face. 

Next I just lightly conceal the under eyes...

Next is the H♥N Mineral Foundation.. 

I just used the sponge for more coverage.. If you prefer a sheerer coverage.. Use a brush. 

Next is the whole point of this tutorial... THE EYES!! ♥

This is like.. Super easy... Super basic.

I just used the top most and the 3rd colours...

I start with the lighter colour. It's like a matte beige...

I put it all over the lid....Its just almost skin tone...

Next I put on the 2nd darker shade...

Just in from the lash line to the crease.. In the outer half of the eyelid...

Then I put on brown eyeliner... It's Mac's Teddy.♥

Not perfect at all coz then I'll smudge it to sorta blur the line.

I just used the sponge applicator to blur the line.

And then....I curl the lashes....

Then use mascara... 

I used Maybelline's Magnum Volum' Express. I like it. Inexpensive and effective. ♥♥♥

 How it's looking so far... I've already filled in her brows...

Up next is... Blush...

I used the light peachy shade...

Then the lips... 

I used the berry shade.. (out of focus)

It looks so pretty on Ate Eena's lips.  ♥

I actually put on Paul & Joe gloss on top of it... It's not necessary. I just felt like it. ^^

Then... that's about it.♥

That's it for now. With my model who needs no makeup on to be radiant. But the Hope Ball is just around the corner so she's trying to learn already. ^^ 

HAPPY WEEKEND!! ♥♥♥

Hello! ♥

It's another Saturday... Time for me to blog... ^^ 

So... whenever I put my makeup it just flows... I sit in front of the mirror not knowing what my concept will be... but then ... .after 30 minutes.. there's a whole look already... 

So today... just like with every other look.... it just flowed.... ^^ 

So I shall start now... 

With my BB-ed face... 

Weird skin mode... Oh well... :/

I'm using the mineral powder I made for today... It's actually professionally pressed... This is just a sample... It's not the actual packaging yet... 

It's very easy to apply...^^  I used the sponge applicator... 

And then.... 

My powdered face...

Next are the eye shadows and eyeliners used...

Lunasol

Coffret D'Or

Vov 

Esprique Precious

So I start with a bare eye....

I'm getting better at taking these pics.. .i'm so happy ^^ 

Next I apply the Esprique Precious Glamorous Glossy Eye..

Just the lighter colour all over the lid... 

At first it's hard to work with... but the key is just putting a little at a time with this product..  it's waterproof and will indeed last the WHOLE day!

Next I grab the Lunasol Blue Coral Palette..♥

I use the bronze shade on the lower left... 

So it looks like this... I actually like how it looks already... Some days... I can stop there... But I felt inspired to do something marine-like today...! ^^;

So next I line the upper lash line with the darker blue pencil by VOV

So it looked like this.... After...

After that... I get the bright aqua blue shade from the Lunasol Palette and I apply it with a brush over the blue line.. ^^

Simple enough.... 

It looks like this... for now... 

Hehehe. .. My lens... 

And then I use the lighter blue from the Lunasol Palette to go over the pencil... Just to keep it from smearing all over the place... ^^ 

And then I apply the Coffret D'or white silver liner above the blue line... 

Next... LASHES! 

I'm using Canmake Gokubuto Mascara and Canmake Curl Styling Base... 

They're pretty good used together.... ^^ 

Ta-da! 

I did my brows... ♥

And then... with an open eye...

Blush is next...

The mineral blush I made.. Not in actual packaging.... 

I love peachy blushes forever...♥

I'm using the Blush Brush from Marionnaud... It is super love... Super cheap and super soft!

Then the lips...

I'm using Alba Botanica TerraTints in Bloom. I LOVE THIS SHADE!! 

In my opinion.. The moisturization can still be improved... But they hit the jackpot in the colour!! 

I used it on top of a lip base just to have a fair judgment on it's actual pigment...

It is really a cute baby pink... 

Oh... Another current love is this... MY TRESE HAIR TIE!!!! ♥

Isn't it the cutest??? ♥

it's made of all the left over canvas from our Human Nature canvas bags.... RECYCLE!!! ♥♥♥

WOOOO HOOOOOOHOOOO!!!! I love love love this! I got it in 3 colours... Black, Green and Red.. But I gave the red one away to a friend who wasn't able to buy it during the Builders Night.

So then... The finished face... 

I should stop looking directly to the camera..  I look cross eyed. Haha

Have a great weekend everyone!! ♥♥♥
