FOTD: Maleficent Inspired Office Makeup Look

"I had wings once, and they were strong. They could carry me above the clouds and into the headwinds, and they never faltered. Not even once." - Maleficent

FOTD: A Simple and Casual Sunday

I went out to hang out with a friend last Sunday so I just opted to do a simple makeup look. It's something I have been quite accustomed to doing these past few days at work because of how crazy my schedule has been. What I love about this look is how you can easily re-create this in less than 30 minutes and still look glam because I focused more on applying a thicker layer of mascara to give my eyes that more dramatic effect.

FOTD: Something a Little Crazy called Speed Dating

Last 30th of May, I participated in a Speed Dating event organized by Telu Events and I dragged along my friends, Ros and Paddy. It's something I have long wanted to try and crossed off of my bucket list. When I told my dad about it and he told me it's a bit of a desperate move for being upfront about looking for love and romance but, honestly, who isn't looking for it? But, actually, it's not about it for me; I believe it's beyond than that and I wasn't wrong.

FOTD: Beauty in Green

I was supposed to post this makeup look the other day but I was so tired of all the happening last week so I decided to just sleep the days away and watch some chick flicks. Wait, am I broken hearted? LOL. But, hey, I wore this makeup look during the 26th Anniversary Celebaration of KMBI last Thursday and green is like the color of the organization so... there! I decided to wear green on my eyes but a green eye makeup look, which is not too loud. 

FOTD: Midnight Romance

Happy weekend everyone! I've been going out a bit much these past few days. Oh, I'm just stressed and been thinking about lots of things lately. Yeah, I'm an emo now. LOL. Kiddin' aside, I went out again tonight (Sunday) but it's a family affair so all's good. However, Sat night, I was actually out with a few good friends for some good talk with some good booze. Well, we're young aren't we? Let us be, please! Hahaha!

FOTD: Night Out

My very first event after a few months of hiatus from blogging and attending events is the Phil-Cosmetics Expo and Erzullie VIP Shopping Party last Saturday. It was truly a night to remember because I was with my blogger friends that night, and oh how I miss them so much. Too bad we weren't complete; but at least I got to see some of 'em. Anyway, this post is about my makeup look on that night; hence, I never bothered reinventing a creative title and just named this FOTD - Night Out.

FOTD: Fierce Red Lips

This is my very first FOTD wherein I had red lips. Well, this is the first time I had red lips because red lips doesn't usually look good on me or that's what I think. You be the judge. I usually just do pink lips because that's what usually looks good on me; but I love how fierce my face looks in this FOTD so I'm sharing it to you guys. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I know I have pending reviews which I have promised because I have been buying so many stuff these past few days; but before I begin with my reviews, let me share you the makeup which my dear friend, Fashiometics, sent for me and for All Glammed Up. I won't be able to sort 'em per product but let's just do this by brand.

Drooling  now? Well, we would soon be releasing some of them at All Glammed Up so better watch out. Some are for me; but I still have t o ask Fashiometics which are those. I also sent Fashiometics some Filipino cosmetics. Brands I included are EverBilena, Human Nature and G-Lish. She also requested a FaceShop wipes so I got her two.

Do you guys got friends from other countries? Do you give each other makeups so that they'd be able to try your country's cosmetics line? Well, Fashiometics has been my friend since 6th grade so we really are close ever since. Her family moved to the US when we were in senior HS and even though we're miles apart, the friendship never left our hearts.

FOTD: Keeping it Light and Natural

I can honestly say that this is one of mt favorite look because (1) this look is more on the natural side and (2) this is the healthiest makeup look I've had. Healthy in what way? I used a moisturizing lipstick, a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 and underneath I still have a day cream moisturizer with SPF 15 and I used mineral makeup on my lids. Now, let's proceed with the fast text tutorial on how to do this look.

PRODUCTS USED:

FACE

- Belo Essentials Day Cover (with SPF15)

- Jane Sheer Tinted Moisturizer for Medium Warm Tones (with SPF30)

- Nichido  Powder Blush in Cool Rum

- Ever Bilena Pro Longwear Loose powder in Nude

- Wish Pressed Powder in Beige

EYES

- Ever Bilena Color Pencil in Brown

- Love & Beauty Smokey Palette (only the white shade)

- Avon Smooth Mineral Eyeshadow in Mocha Goddess

LIPS

- Ever Bilena Pro Lipstick with Shimmer in Burgundy Shine

HOW I DID IT?

Let's not forget the the first thing we should be doing is applying a moisturizer and in my case it's the Belo Essentials Day Cover. After that I applied the Jane Tinted Moisturizer using my Charm Pro Stippling Brush. I love the Jane tinted moisturizer because aside from the fact that it is a moisturizer, it is also organic and has a high SPF content; SPF30 to be exact. 

For my eyes, I used the Ever Bilena Color Pencil for my brows, The Avon Mineral Eyeshadow in Mocha Goddess for my lids up to my crease and the white shade from my Love & Beauty Palette on my brow bone. No mascara this time. I just want a natural makeup look.

After my eyes, I used the Cool Rum Powder Blush from Nichido under my cheek bone going slantly upwards while doing the fishy face. LOL. then to highlight some parts of my face, I used the Love & Beauty's white shade again and applied it on the bridge of my nose, on my cupid's bow and on my chin.

For my lips, I used the Ever Bilena Pro Lipstick with Shimmer in Burgundy Shine and only that. I will be making a review for that lipstick soon. It's currently my favorite lipstick.

So that's how I did this look and I hope you all love it as much as I do. It's a good look which will make your face glow in the day. If you tried this look, do share the link at the comments section below.

Till next post! ;)

FOTD: Very Pinay

I am so itching to try out my new Careline palette which I got from Ever Bilena. So basically, that is the reason why I came up with this look. I love how this look was able to enhance my skin tone. It gave me a really beautiful golden brown look; perfect for the theme since I am using a local makeup brand, why not make this look something which will enhance our beautiful brown complexion right?

PRODUCTS USED:

FACE

- Jane Agua Ceuticals Sheer Tinted Moisturizer (Medium Warm Tones)

- Wish Pressed Powder (Beige)

- Careline Palette (Red Blush)

EYES

- Wet N Wild Color Icon Brow and Eyeliner

- Careline Palette (Blue and Light Blue Shade)

- L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara

LIPS:

- Watsons Moisturizing Lip Balm (Sweet Strawberry)

- Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Gloss (Timothy)

HOW I DID IT?

Using an N33 Fluid Foundation brush from Marionnaud, I applied the Jane tinted moisturizer all over my face. I love this product because aside from the fact that it is SPF 30, it is also organic. It really does take care of your skin. To set the tinted moisturizer, I applied the Wish Pressed Powder using an ELF total face brush.

For the eyes, I first used my Wet N Wild Color Icon Brow and Eyeliner to line my brows and lengthen them. Then, I used my new Marionnaud N37 Slanted Eyeline & Eyebrows Double Side Brush to apply the blue shade from my Careline palette thinly on the lids and on my lower lash line. I used the slanted part of the brush, btw. Then, applied the lighter shade of blue all over my eyes using a technique where I start inside going outside so that the inside will only have a little of the products and more on the outside; thus making it more noticeable without overly doing it. After that, I curled my lashes and used the L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara. I remembered Michelle Phan’s tip in choosing the best mascara fit for your lashes. If your lashes are like mine, short and thin, use a volumizing mascara instead because it has a thicker formula. Thin lashes are usually too weak to hold up a wet mascara formula so if you have thin lashes and you used a mascara with wet formula, you’ll end up smudging it all over the eyes after awhile.

For the lips, I applied first the Watsons Moisturizing Lip Balm and then the Urban Decay Pocket Rocket gloss. I am not a fan of lip glosses and I am so upfront about that. I hate the sticky feeling and how my hair always sticks on my lips when it’s too windy; but to complete this look, I disregarded that. The Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Timothy smells like caramel plus it gave my lips a natural pink glossy glow.

For the finishing touches, I used the red blush from my Careline palette and set the whole look with the Wish pressed powder.

I love how this whole look really enhances my beautiful Filipina skin tone. It gave my face a golden brown glow and I know it would look great on majority of us, Filipinas, who have the same skin tone as mine. So if you loved this look, do tell me and if you tried it, show me a picture please!

Till next blog post!
