FOTD-Oct.31, 2009

I'd been on denial. I'd refused to believe that the tiny short handled brush included in my MAC red holiday palette actually worked. Well, the truth isa it only works when one's planning to dress up for Haloween in which the eye makeup could be totally bat crazy! I didn't do my eye this morning cos I planned on doing my brows. At work,I took out my palette and started primping. WHOA! Who's that crazy lady staring back at me. And my palette is a warm one, so one could hardly do wrong with it. It took me several minutes, 15, to get everything back to normal. Thank the Lord I brought along my elf eye shadow brush.

NYX FOTD Contest

YAYYYYY! I won!!!!

I'll post the prize basket when I get to claim it later today.

FOTD - October 22, 2009

I'm rocking the same makeup for like my previous NYX post, but this time, I use Ulyses round lipstick gold. This stuff is pure star! It applies like the usual burnt dark orange, but it turns brownish red later. Really flattering.

See!

My FOTD for NYX Contest

I was running out of time!!! It was one day before deadline of the NYX Contest in Fashionese Daily. So I rushed out of the shower and then put on all the NYX products in my posession : jumbo eye pencil in Black bean, round lipstick in Chloe and megashine gloss in Beige.



The rest of my face I used my usual Revlon foundation, MAC blushes Fun & Games.

My Makeup Pouch-what's inside

The thought of having just one lipstick scares me. Eventhough my lipstick of the day is red, I need to have other lipstick on just in case I change my mind on my next touch-up.

So here's a peek of my makeup safety blanket and a tiny swatch of each lipstick.

Pouch content :
NYX round lipstick Chloe, Bobbi Brown Ruby, Christian Dior creme de gloss 845, NYX lipgloss Beige, Clinique High Impact Magenta Rose.

Oh I forgot to take a snapshot of Burt's Bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranate oil and Burt's Bees Honey lipbalm. How I have 2 lipbalms in my pouch is beyond me, but I would say it's probably out of laziness.

7 products inside a smallish pouch. My pouch should get an award!

FOTD - October 13, 2009

A very simple look for today.

I've been loving my new lipstick combination: NYX round lipstick Chloe + YSL Rouge Pur #19, Revlon lip pencil in Mauve, top by NYX lipgloss in Beige.

For cheeks I've started to get a hang of my PAC blush in brown which I used to contour, then I blended either TBS blush on #4 which is a peachy pinkish color that a horde of people claimed pretty similar to Nars Orgasm. I disagree, though, and had made a comparison swatch to it in this post.



As always, can't leave the glasses-on look cos my glasses always the last piece of make up (well, not really makeup per say) I have on my face.

FOTD - October

Last week I became an MC for a relative's wedding. It's not really an elaborate one but still, it's a wedding. And I've never been an MC. Mom told me to improvise but I'm no story teller nor am a stand-up comedian. I could be up all night trying to think up things to say, witty or not.

Anyway, just want to share my look on that day. Funny how my makeup could stay on longer when I didn't have important event to go to while this event definitely a makeup nightmare.



I had Milani Java Bean and MAC rice paper and L'Oreal Metallic black on eyes. The lips were concoction of colors. I had nude lipstick on but then I made a mistake of hanging out around my mom and older relatives and they all said I looked too pale. So I ended up wearing different colors of lipsticks that they thought would make me look more colorful. Ugh I hate being a mature adult and still being talked down like I was a mere 10.
